Yeah I'm trying to win with every car. Is it me or is Blue Falcon hot trash? With the other 3 vehicles, I almost never get below 15th place nowadays cuz regular queue is almost always just the same 2 maps anyways. With Blue Falcon, my peak is 3rd place but I regularly get around 33rd place avg
The biggest problem is Falcon is light as hell. He loses all speed upon bashing into anybody and getting flown to Narnia, and he isn't even that great top speed or acceleration. His turn is also somehow worse than the hockey puck, and of course it's worse than the chrome dome (I don't remember their names) which has the best grip. The 4th one nobody plays has the advantage of being great at tussling, which can help sneak into 1st with skywalk at the last second.
I don't understand what the actual advantage of using Falcon is. It's not like other vehicles have glaring weaknesses, but they have clear strengths. Falcon has the weakness of being unable to tussle at all, and no strengths lol. This vehicle is not made to be played on a 99 mode
Blue Falcon is the all-rounder. It's not the best at anything but it's not the worst at anything either - that's it's strength. I've won plenty of races with the blue falcon but it was my main in the original. I have been having a lot more luck with the harder tracks with loads of sharp turns (like silence). I think that's mostly because I know the tracks better than new players, but I do think it's at it's best on those tracks. It has good acceleration (better than fire stingray and wild goose) which helps a lot when you constantly have to slowdown for the turns (it's less punishing if you mess up too). You can also start slowing down later before a turn than in the faster, heavier machines. Golden fox has better acceleration than falcon, but falcon has better grip, making it easier to get a good line on the turns consistently with it.
