Mission average wasn't until zero3...


Zero3 was merely the first game to DISPLAY your average.  Your average was always tracked by the game, and was always the basis for Rank.  It's the same method across all four games.

bad design? well, Spiral Pegacion had a nice design artwork wise, but his sprite was pretty awkward. Especially his attack one. (when he throws the tornado at you. that one was his worst sprite) and the fact that he was worse animated than even Storm Eagle.


...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

It's because the Rank reflects your average across all missions, not the most recent.

You want to talk bullshit ranks, check out Mario Kart Wii.  B Grade for a freaking perfect score.

Huh. That's really odd. I managed to keep a consistent A rank in Z1 despite having some sloppy runs on a few stages there as well. (Most notably the bomb defusing mission; got sick of fighting Phantom because at the time I didn't realize you were actually able to hit him during his desperation move like Leviathan and Harpuia, yet still got an A rank anyway.)

Also, lol @ Mario Kart Wii; all the more reason why you should stick to F-Zero X for your racing fix. :V

Comparing F-Zero to Mario Kart is like comparing Street Fighter to Smash Bros.  Genres be damned, they are not interchangeable.

I'm not even going to ask in what context that image is considered mentally traumatizing.  To me it looks like an Animorphs alien spliced with a plant.

It reminds me of that eyeball plant boss from Altered Beast.

Ahh, I have a blurred memory of that.

2006 was a lucrative time.

There has to be a better way of photoshopping breasts...

That was disgusting.

Meanwhile, how about the 8 mavericks from X3?  All of them Neon Tiger and maybe Crush Crawfish were either ugly or stupid looking.  ESPECIALLY Big-Mouth Catfish.

What color is my heart, Snively...?

I never really had a problem with X3's bosses honestly.

Sure it was done by Hi Tech, but I'm surprised these hadn't been thrown in here yet...
Volt Man would've been a pretty good design if it would've got a lot of polish IMO.

As for my least favorite design:


A flower robot ... a robot flower ... an artificial being made to look like something natural ... they could've named him Oxymoron Man for all I care.

None of the bosses mentioned in this thread are ugly, y'all are way too picky.

Plant Man? a bad boss design? I always thought he looked pretty cool.

I don't think there's a robot master who has a bad design.



Yellow Devil takes skills, this one takes nothing.  This boss is a big slap to the face of first time players.
