Yep, expert difficulty in the original game is not enough; the Al is capped at 432 km/h at expert. The new game is like playing at master difficulty.

Ah this explains a lot, thanks! I already played a bit of the OG F-Zero… and now I even wish more for a new one.

That’s okay then, it took me quite some while for my first win, I think it was B+ or A-. So don’t worry.

Good to know, I thought I was missing something :)

Regarding power management: Did you finish Port Town I in practice mode under the time limit for the achievement? You need to use boosts where you normally wouldn’t (well aside directly from the start).

I wasn’t aware… I will try this later!

And regarding the pack: I drive as if they weren’t there (while using spin attack), meaning I drive my optimal racing line and I often can clear the pack in difficulty corners fast. Well except Mute City.

Haha, this is easier said than done, but I think my racing line is (obviously) not as great as I thought.

First, thanks for you long answer!

Is Master the difficulty you have to unlock? I can’t remember, so probably not. I have it unlocked though…

I have no problems at all with the things you mentioned:

• I always get the good boost
• I press down while jumping
• cornering: let go of trottle (if needed) and use L/R
• the power management I have not completely mastered tbh

As silly as it sounds, the problem are the other cars (as always haha), but for real: once I’m in the pack I’m loosing speed and get pushed all over the place… even with the spin attack. And then I’m stuck there and usually end up around 30.

My rating is B+ now, I usually beat 3/4 opponents. And I think I’m around level 15.

Of course there are still a few driver errors, but I struggle most with getting out of the pack, if you now what I mean.

I guess I just have to git gud, like always.

And I’m sitting here and can’t win anything and I really don’t know why. I played the hell out of F-Zero on the SNES (and also on the Switch).

But I’m always 20-40… in the 99 battles no matter how hard I try and usually manage to get to the end in Grand Prix and Mini-Prix.

Maybe I’m missing something? Do you have some tips and strategies?

I find myself usually in the Top 10 in the beginning, but then I somehow tumble down in the masses of people until I’m stuck around 40…

Bin da auch erst durch die Nachrichten vom Gipfel wirklich aufmerksam geworden und kenne mich daher nicht wirklich mit dem Thema aus. Es wirklich wirkt aber so, als ob die einzige Gemeinsamkeit dieser Brics-Staaten darin besteht, eine Alternative zum Westen zu bilden… was schön und gut ist, aber die Länder sind hald quer über die ganze Erde verteilt und haben komplett andere Kulturen. Das kann doch auf lange Sicht nicht gut enden, oder?

Die Ironie… sowas kann man sich ja eigentlich gar nicht ausdenken.

“Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Kinder, die selten Bücher lesen und häufig an digitalen Geräten, den höchsten Förderbedarf hinsichtlich ihres Wortschatzes aufweisen”, heißt es in der Ende 2022 vorgelegten Studie.

Klar haben Kinder die selten lesen einen geringeren Wortschatz… das hat aber nichts mit digitalen Geräten zum tun.

Selbst meine Eltern sind aid eBooks umgestiegen zum Bücherlesen…

Man könnte fast meinen, dass sich da gewisse Leute nicht mit den neuen Medien befassen wollen, aber was weiß ich schon haha

Ahh this makes sense - thank you very much for the explanation!

because it’s not an ad block per se but forces HTML?

I was completely unaware of Vinegar, so thank you very much for the info!

Do you by any chance know if this will be affected by the YouTube Adblock ban?

Apple Music all the way!

Under the “Listen now” tab, I always get new releases form the artists I like!

This looks more than pretty solid imho - that’s nearly seamless, very cool!

How often are you clicking on links for new communities - I assume not too often. So maybe a small kitten message with “redirecting… this may take a few seconds” wouldn’t be too bad for now (at least for me).

But I’m also no dev and have no clue how any of this would be implemented haha

Thank you for taking over!

Please don’t stress yourself about the deadline - all good things take their time!

I really enjoy the app, keep up the good work.
