yes they are

In short you can put whatever number you want for the speed and still be correct since there is no way to measure the distance of the track since it doesn't physically exist

They are. The machines look smaller than they actually are.

Uh, that's wrong, sweetie

Could use a point of reference. Probably the length of one of the vehicles. See how the length of the vehicle compare to the track, then just use: speed=distance/time.

Just a thought. Theres probably an easier way but idk.

The F-Zero machines are actually huge you just can't tell because the track is gigantic

I mean... You could easily do this, but it would take a while. Figure the length of your ship based on character art with their machine. Then drive slowly enough to calculate how many car lengths a certain segment (or a whole lap) is, then time how long it takes from point to point. Take the distance and time you have to figure the speed.

You know, this is the type of autism I wouldn't mind seeing.

Art may or may not be to scale or representative of true sizes.

Doesn't look that big to me. It's about the size of an F1 car.

He's a big guy.

I'm surprised one of the more obnoxious gaming channels on YouTube hasn't already done it (if they indeed haven't). I can see it now
>HI, THIS IS STEVEBANG69 AND TODAY WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW ACCURATE THE SPEEDOMETERS ARE IN YOUR FAVORITE RACING GAMES. SO THANKS FOR TUNING INTO GAMES FOR GAYS AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY TODAY'S EPISODE

Don't overthink it

It only looks like it's going slower because you're in the roll of an F-zero driver and you have stupid insane reaction time and you're able to process it.

IT'S JUST A THEORY

Mmmm....maybe I can solve this...but hey it's just a theory...a game theory

look at the speedometer

In 64 they are slow as fuck.
On GX HOWEVER
they go
FAST
AS
SHIT

Yeah but GX's music sucks peepee.

This
I love GX but you can't beat that heavy metal ost X has

350km I guess

Fucking this
The soundtrack alone makes FZeroX one of my favourite games ever

You need to be able to measure distance in the game which isn’t obvious to do.

I like the sountracks in all 3 console F-Zeros

Are sans and papyrus in F-zero?

Me too but X blows them all out off the water

>DUDE LET'S GO TO THE CLUB LMAO

GX has some good tracks, but every track in X is great

Loads of racing games have this problem and it's annoying.
>Start moving at a slow crawl along a track in Burnout
>Speedo says you're doing 60km/h when you're obviously not even breaking 20km/h

That looks at least double the size of an F1 car.

>tfw we will never have f-zero with online
>tfw no death race online
>tfw no voice chat

Easy. It shouldn't be hard to estimate the length of the car, so then just measure how long it takes the car to travel that same distance and extrapolate from that. Quick maths.

Voice chat is just full of memelords faggots anyway. I'd rather have individual voice commands for each character with a KF style [INSULT PLAYERS]

It's a bit longer than an F1 car. I would estimate it at about eight meters, if an F1 car is four or five

>...But before that: let's talk about parallel universes

or you could go at max speed without aceleration in an easy straight lap then multiply the lap time times the max speed

I never liked the soundtrack in X all that much. It's on par with Maximum Velocity for my least favorite soundtrack in the series. Both X and MV have some pretty kickass songs though.

are ulililia or panankoek still around?

Now THIS is some abysmal taste.

Voice chat fucking sucks anyway, the last thing I want is some 12 year old memer screeching in my ears about my mom's sex life because he drove off the edge and died.

Koek yes, if shitposters on Sup Forums are to be believe ulililia normied up

Theories like the one this thread would be about were the reason I started watching Game Theory years ago. It all went to complete shit when he realized he could make 10x more money and views by clickbaiting with shitty lore fantheories and splitting videos into 4 different parts. And putting his mug in every video about twice per minute. I forget if he's always done that or if that was a newer development too, but it sure is obnoxious.

>tfw we will never have f-zero with online
online connectivity isn't there yet.

Wipeout and Fast Racing use lower speed settings for online because modern online connections just can't handle the speed necessary yet.

Just git gud at netcode

Would it be possible to lower the graphics and be able to handle it? Like, at this point, would F-Zero X online be possible at least?

I still like them, I just got tired of metal around the time I played X. Long Distance of Murder, Dream Chaser, and the guitar arrange version of Mute City are great though.
