Mini guide for the last boss:
Use the chicken mode while you fight Andross.
Phase 1 (the boss has 2 hands): he has only 3 moves. When he puts his hand over you (attack 1) press A and go behind him, without shooting, you have to go away asap. When you are behind him press A to retourn a chicken and than ZL to turn the camera vs the boss. When he rise one hand to charge his attack (attack 2) shoot for a couple seconds the red stuff on the hand and than evade his assault (same way as attack 1). For the last attack, when the boss puts both his hands around you, choose 1 hand and shoot it for a while, than when he puts it closer to you evade the same way you did for attack 1,2. Continue this way until you destroy 1 hand. Now you have to go outside, dodge the laser beams (it's not that hard) and than come back to Andross for Phase 2.
Phase 2 (boss with 1 hand): at the start he's probably going to use attack 1 a few times (it's the most dangerous) so prepare to dodge it fast. Than fight like phase 1. The only difference is that he have a new attack: he rise his hand to cast a tractor beam. To save your ass you have just to keep shooting his red point into his hand (use the 1st person view). You will destroy his 2nd hand and than you have to go outside again... laser beams, and than back to the boss.
Phase 3: here Andross changes his patterns. He will try to eat you (dodge running away), or he will cast a laser beam from his mouth (to dodge it jump while in chicken mode). At some point he will try to hit you spitting debris: now you have to transform into the space ship to fly in circles around him (follow the form of the room) to dodge the debris. While you fly, in one direction, use the gamepad to shoot Andross in the face. At some point he will be stunned, so just go behind him and shoot the red part that's now exposed on his head.
The boss hits hard, but it's not that difficult when you learn his patterns.
The sigma level is actual garbage. That combined with the asinine chicken walker controls in the other levels makes me really not want to play this any longer.
This game screams EAD, from presentation to motion controls, PG assisted in its development but i would be cautious in calling SFZ a "platinum" game.
Now, what they learned here could be used better in future games, Star Fox or not.
I mean technically Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 are also collaborations but there is a difference with those and Zero.It's not a Platinum game. It's not an EAD game. It's a collaboration. And I really think that comes through.
It's $15 standalone on the eshop or $10 if you buy SF0 at $50, I think.So whats the deal with Star Fox Guard, is it supposed to be free with all retail versions of the game?
He is addressing Nintendo's game design philosophy and saying that Nintendo conforming to the gimmicks of the Wii U at this stage of its cycle is a good hint that they will also conform design around whatever NX is sure to bring to the table. I agree with him. The controls here were not designed around practicality but, rather, making use of the tablet, thus rendering it as an end and not a means.

I fully know his patterns but it is not helpful when half of the fucking screen looks like this especially if you want to dodge the lasers when outside:

Even NSMB U didn't use the gamepad in any substantive manner.
Just fly on the bottom of the screen. Almost no need to dodge anymore.
At least that was what i did.
Why can't they just simply put back the normal view of Arwing here instead of forcing you to do the dodging in 1st person view?
The error margin of hitting the hand interrupting their attack is non-existent, you can't afford missing any shot especially in the one hand phase with the traction beam attack, if you miss even one shot you get grabbed. It is incredible how it even get through play testing.
You don't dodge lasers in first-person view. You do it in third-person view by moving only vertically. If you positioned yourself correctly, the dodging in almost like in 2D scroll shooters.
Use twin lasers, hyper lasers or bombs, and don't forget pulling back. The game's fine.
Don't think so. If he is, he doesn't have the same voice.Spoilery question: Is "yarrr harr harr" "Oh shoot!" pirate guy from Zoness back in this? Was always next to the Train Guy as my favourite boss VA.
I used all bombs on the two hand smash attack and I don't have the luxury of upgraded lasers after dying and start anew.
Don't know if it's been posted but you can barrel roll by moving the right stick from left to right or right to left quickly. Much easier than double-tapping left or right.
The controls has a learning curve that's for sure and the more you play the more you enjoy it, but there are several things I don't like, maybe just because I'm a terrible player lol!
For example, you can drop bombs clicking the right stick or the R button. I see myself wasting them very often clicking the right stick accidentally while braking/boosting the vehicle. It infuriates me lol! I wish I could change that control configuration.
Also, you apparently can make U-turn pressing down both L and R sticks and the somersault pressing L stick down and R stick up. Well it doesn't work for me. Ever. I tried slowly, quickly, sequentially and at the same time. I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong but I just can't do those movements with that combinations: I need to use L stick down + B and X to make them.
I'm not sure if it's something with me but in the desert planet while I was fighting the amazing boss, the Landmaster started to move funny like if the gyro controls didn't work correctly. It was frustrating because I remember how easy and fun was to use this vehicle in Lylat Wars (SF64).
Doing barrel rolls is necessary when a lot of enemies starts shooting at you but pressing twice the R stick left of right is not quick enough IMO.
And some minor complaint: There is no option in the game to change the voices! The only way is to change the language in the console settings but it changes everything not just the voices. Spanish voices are terrible, they sound like the actors are just reading and the bad guys seems mostly bored lol. Oh, well... To the hell with my old memories from Lylat Wars
Oh! And the music, is amazing but the volume is so low I barely can hear it in the game.
I'm at Venom right now fighting Andross for the first time and he's kicking my ass lol. I'll update the impressions when I finish the game and see all the planets. I hope I can get better with these controls because it's the only thing causing me trouble.
Once I learned his patterns he became a cake walk. You really just need to play better, there is nothing wrong with the fight. The lasers on the outside are the easiest, just fly to the bottom and dodge between the 2 lasers down there, they are always in the same place. After you destroy one hand you need to get the twin lasers and shoot the other hand when he grabs you, just aim with the game pad and you shouldn't have any trouble. Don't forget to barrel roll away from all of his other attacks too.There is one laser always hitting the bottom and the screen and if you try to dive hard the control bounces your reticle back up further messing with your flying. The error margin of hitting the hand interrupting their attack is non-existent, you can't afford missing any shot especially in the one hand phase with the traction beam attack, if you miss even one shot you get grabbed. It is incredible how it even get through play testing.
But twin lasers are spawned bydefeating the first hand, and Andross doesn't use the grapple beam when both hands are present...
Why can't they just simply put back the normal view of Arwing here instead of forcing you to do the dodging in 1st person view?
I just got this game and wow the controls. I'm getting the hang of it in the opening training course. Then I start the main game and mess it all up somehow. I was under the impression one of the left buttons was to shoot because ZR is to use motion controls. But basically motion controls can be turned off, except in shooting where it will always wobble and be imprecise because you thought you weren't using motion controls.
I died in Phase 2 lol. I felt like I needed 3 hands to play.
Also, you apparently can make U-turn pressing down both L and R sticks and the somersault pressing L stick down and R stick up. Well it doesn't work for me. Ever. I tried slowly, quickly, sequentially and at the same time. I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong but I just can't do those movements with that combinations: I need to use L stick down + B and X to make them.
would it be too much to ask to spoiler tag a final boss fight image two days after release or just post a link instead of embedding it?
Sorry I just spoiler tagged everything, was too infuriated by the fight to pay attention to spoiler policy "(
Well I feel like a huge idiot, I found the reason why I was missing a medal in Sector Gamma. Turns out,When you collect the 3 gold rings, the medal appears on the nose of the Great Fox!
And we told you that you need to actually pick up a medal!![]()
That was what I meant, sorry, my english is rubbish lol. I pull the sticks but don't work. Only using the alternative with the B and X buttons. I have the game in my language (f***ing voices -__-) so it's not a problem of misunderstanding the manualHuh???? You're completely reading the UI prompts wrong.
It's telling you to pull the L-STICK and R-STICK up/down.
U-turn = L-stick & R-stick down (or press B)
Somersault = L-stick down & R-stick up (or press X)
While the TV camera goes into "cinematic view", watch the GamePad screen (so you can see the direction you are flying in) and use the TV as a rear mirror of sorts. This will help you with boss fights and all-range dogfights.
Also, play other Training Mode missions.
You are supposed to use the cockpit view during these moments. Only occasional glancing at the TV to get an idea about your surroundings.
Having somersault and U-turn on L and R stick is plain stupid and will only cause plenty of misclick problems, X and B button works just fine. And bomb on R stick is also... just clueless what is the control designer thinking right here.
Wait for Sector Ω with that boss and that music!Zero's Aquarosa, Fortuna, Salvadora, Sector B and Sector Y are already some of my favorite levels in the series. I haven't reached the last level yet, though. Still like six levels I haven't played. This game is so good!
This sounds counter-intuitive. I had thought the purpose of the gamepad view was to allow you to shoot in directions not visible on the TV...
Anyone else annoyed that a good portion of the secret levels are?rehashed Star Wolf fights and the asteroid belt with a boss
You are supposed to use the cockpit view during these moments. Only occasional glancing at the TV to get an idea about your surroundings. I think the game even encourages you to swap the cockpit view onto the TV when it happens.

[...] it seems backwards that you have to use the gamepad instead to look ahead and avoid obstacles,
That was what I meant, sorry, my english is rubbish lol. I pull the sticks but don't work. Only using the alternative with the B and X buttons. I have the game in my language (f***ing voices -__-) so it's not a problem of misunderstanding the manualI'll keep trying in training mode, though.
Thank you for your help! ^^
This game would be a lot more fun if there was no all range mode battles.
All-range mode is AWESOME in this game. They remind me of the Endor space battle from Rogue Leader, but on steroids, and with Kat reminding everyone that she's a lady. (Reminder to Nintendo: I will BUY her ship as DLC. Please Nintendo, lemme have it!)What ever floats your boat I guess. Still I hope your boat sinks! All range mode is as fun as it ever was!
