I actually had a chance to defeat Wolf before Andrew, but held off my fire until Andrew was dead because I wanted to face Wolf last (even if he only need 2 shots to die)

Something that helped me was instead of trying to tap left or right twice quickly, you can flick left/right or right/left quickly instead. I don't remember if the game tells you this or not, I just kind of accidentally figured it out.

Alright guys, what can I do to improve my scores for a gold medal? I think I've only gotten, like, 2 since starting the game.

Man the Fortuna boss was tough, but fun unlike Aquarosa since it was a matter of skill and patience rather than fighting the camera.
- Shoot downed ships for an extra +1
- Get the timing down on crit charge shots to increase the blast zone and potentially score more points
- Keep your wingmates health up for the bonus points they give at the end of each level
- Kill bosses faster for more points
- Picking up bombs when you already have 5 or a laser upgrade while yours are at max level grants additional points as well.
- On levels like the Colony space fight and the Cornerian Tower getting the amount of designated kills before the game moves onto the next phase/event gets you +5

It's much better than the original version.
Yeah, but the charged shots do no damage.
It's like charged shots with Monarch Dodora: the game is kinda bad at telling you what to do there.
Maybe I need to git gud like the above video but I did awful on Aquarosa.
When there is a group of enemies or an enemy/ies close to the ground use your charge shot for bonus points.
When an enemy has been shot down and they are flaming shoot them again for a bonus point.
Kill bosses quickly for bonus points.
Do special things (like leading the first bosses missiles back into it) for bonus points.
Conserve your bombs. Every bomb you pick up when you are carrying the max amount gives you three extra points.
Pick up laser upgrades. Every one you pick up while you have the most powerful laser gives you three extra points.
I'm pretty sure charged shots damage Dodora as (obviously) do bombs.

Holy shit, I didn't even know that this was a thing. I'm gonna try it out the next time I play it.

At first impression I think this game is great. The game pad aiming works really well and I like the stages.
I know I'm in the minority for warming up to it so quickly but it really provides a lot of unique feel to the game and challenge. I think the game might be too basic or shallow without the unique controls.
I was running into a ton of wireless interference during the Pigma fight where every time I swung the game pad in a direction it would lose signal entirely.
Changing my 5ghz channel on the router to 36 did the trick. No issues for now.

Yeah, I agree with this. Using the game pad gave me some feeling but I couldn't put my finger on it, but it feels like playing in a arcade game with a totally different control style.
So far the entire soundtrack itself has been pretty stellar. Standouts have to be "Inside the Colony", which plays when something is about to blow up spectacularly.
Love that track. The Sound Test really helped me appreciate the music in this game.
Just got the game. Like HOLY SHIT!!!! This game is amazing! There is so much going on. It gets really intense! Don't know why peeps are complaining about motion controls. It just took me the first 2 levels to fully grasp the controls. I feel like I'm part of a special breed of people that are immune to motion control fuck ups. I don't understand why ppl have a hard time with motion controls. I was so afraid my $60 was gonna go to waste, but I haven't had this much fun with a game in a while.

Yeah, maybe it gets worse later on but I even enjoyed the gyro copter stage.. I'm totally on a different page than the reviews.
I never really understood this. Is Assault's soundtrack really that better just because it was fully orchestrated? I feel some of the tracks were too slow in their tempo (Star Wolf theme). Zero's had that urgency and quickness to it, not to mention some tracks are deliberately techno much like the SNES tracks.
In fact, I really like Zero's OST because it directly homages the SNES main theme, and not necessarily 64's. I wouldn't have minded if they also stole some tracks from Star Fox 2 while they're at it. The "alternate" Wolfen encounter theme before Star Wolf shows up would've been the perfect place to hear this.
I guess Assault was aiming for a more majestic, space operatic Star Fox than, say, something more Firefly-ish. Compare this theme (Assault's Theme of Great Fox) with this (Zero's Tutorial medley, which has a callback to that same melody).

The Great Fox is a fun stage. Think I have one more level to unlock, but have to call it a night.
So let's say Nintendo makes one or two more animated shorts for Star Fox Zero. What scenarios would you like to see them adapt?
Off the top of my head, Sector Beta seems like the best bet. You got Bill, Kat, and Star Wolf. You have the setpiece where you slip past the shield and shut it down, and General Pepper yells "Skip the countdown — just fire!" You can also have Peppy getting shot down for a dramatic cliffhanger.
Alternatively, infiltrating the dreadnought with the walker in Sector Alpha could make a cool short, especially if they juxtapose it with what Falco, Slippy and Peppy are doing out in space while Fox is inside the ship.
Area 3 would also make a good short, with the Pigma fight and Gigarilla. Especially if they folded the satellite mission with Andrew into it, as well.
A part of me would also like to see Titania's Scrapworm and Fichina's Mother Strider adapted into animation. The former could include the detour where Peppy fights Salvadora, while the latter could include the Hunter fight with Wolf, as well as Sector Gamma with the teleporting missiles.

Charged shots do work, but the problem is that it's an exception to the rule: most bosses can't be locked on to.
I just realized why the soundtrack is so non-Nintendo: literally all the composers are Platinum people (including my favorite composer of all time, Rei Kondoh).
That's not .
Its in the sound test that comes from playing through arcade mode once and not very. Though it does show off
a scene of the team in their a pose identical to one of the SNES promos and full bodied Andross. Dude looks like a damn wizard.

I just finished it, and yeah the music was pretty good. That track is my favorite by far though.
btw the last boss is fucking terrible. Only thing I don't like about the game.
The ending was great and hilarious though.
When the team goes to the ceremony, Fox is just like fuck you we do our own shit, bye bitch! and they leave
Co-op mode is amazingly fun. Like I'm kinda floored. It's so fun to talk back and forth as if you were both there in the ship together. And it even helps you learn each perspective even further by giving you a little alone time with each.i found my 1p playthroughs were better after playing some coop. My friends were totally wowed by it.

Played from Corneria to Peppy crashing on what I think was Zoness? (Don't really remember.) Digging it thus far but the controls are a bit harder to use when I'm sitting at my desk. Also getting high scores is gonna drive me batty.
I managed to get all the medals in SF64 in both difficulties when I was a young'in...don't think that's happening with this title.

Whoa! Can someone link me to a screen of
full-body wizard Andross
Oh man, that's awesome!
So I still don't understand: Is the head-and-hands Andross the result of him transforming himself into a superweapon? Or does his regular body still exist somewhere?

This would be pretty cool, especially if they get the same voice actor. He sounds like such a dweeb, it's great. "Fear meeeee!"
I decided to change things up and try Corneria with the 1st person view on the tv and man was that awesome! The immersion level gets pretty high that doing a loop feels a bit nauseating :lol. Also managed to bump my score up almost twenty points 368>382 but that might have been because I used the missile technique on the boss this time around, so cool that that's actually a way to approach it.
If we're talking SF0 music, I really dig Area 3 cause it sounds so much like Star Wars.

This kinda blows my mind O_O
and yeah, with your other post about the reception I'm surprised too. I thought it was going to be more negative views with the game even with GAF. I knew I'd enjoy it but there's a lot of good in this game that I would love to see with fine tuning and better execution in a sequel. Please Nintendo?

So I beat
and eventually went to Zoness. Had to stop playing though so I turned the game off. Now I've come back and
Aquarosa
The Zoness "escape" level is nowhere to be seen, but I can access Aquarosa. Is this some weird thing where I have to beat those levels right after beating Aquarosa for them to become available?I assumed I could come back later.
Yeah, when you discover a level via an alternate route, you have to beat it right then and there for it to become available on the world map.

That's totally a scrapped "real" final boss.
Make sure to go through Tutorial mode and experiment with the alternate control scheme.
It didn't take me that long to pick it up, but strafing runs will require a bit of practice.
Sector β pretty much nailed that Star Wars feel for me. It's nice to see the game have many original pieces.
admits the SF & SF64 musical homages.
It's touted as a "reimagining", but given the involvement of teleportation technology and its
use as a possible handwave as to how Jame McCloud appearance before the last boss
