this ship is a rather unique case. it looks like it's not very good on the surface but this is the 3rd fastest ship among the pilot machines. the reason is that this is one of the very few machines that has a usable MTS and it has one of the strongest in the whole game, rivaled by the machines with the best MTS such as Black Bull and a few custom machines. that tech alone carries it very far (MTS stands for "Momentum Turbo Slide" and it is used around corners to get a lot of speed while taking them). the ship also has good weight and is good at shift boosts. as for the basics, it has good handling and grip and can perform well with just stick steering. it is lacking in body, top speeds and boost but the boost at least picks up speed a bit fast. make no mistake, the skill needed to get the most out of this machine is a lot which makes it not suited for beginners.

i'm playing using the Wii U GC Adapter and an original GC controller. i also have an input display to show what i do during gameplay. the input display also comes with a function to change sensitivity and that lets me get around the sensitivity problem present in this version. it feels much closer to the original. there's still the input lag but it's more manageable.
