Studying a 17 year old video for F-Zero 99

we all know for a fact that one day this infamous track will return in F-Zero 99

What a beast time. No tricks, no nothing -- just an absence of screw-ups. Glorious.

I can smell the F.Z.99 players checking this vid out for tips. Its gonna be a bloodbath when it drops

Can't wait to play this track in F-Zero 99.

I had the same strategy for one of those first turns after the lap mark - bash into the corner and take the damage. My friends thought I was stupid, but you sacrifice a bit of power in one quick hit rather than try to take the corner and draaaag along the outer wall. Neat! Affirmation at last!

People kept talking about how difficult this track is going to be when it drop in f-zero 99, so I looked it up. This guy made it look so easy that I didn't pick up on the difficulty until the 3rd lap or so. That S turn is insane, I kept wondering why he was hitting it like that. Those gravity walls on that long straightaway. The bombs throughout. I can't wait

F-Zero is the best racing series of all time, F-Zero GX was really a classic and so was its predecessors

And to think this track in F-Zero 99 is supposed to be beaten at 3'04"00 in order to get an achievement.

I will always admire and respect this video at 3:37, when positions change for inexplicable reasons

+Viper Hydar I'm not sure whether or not you are trying to be a troll or not but I don't see how this guy posting his time on a game on KZfaq is considered egotistical or lame at all. It takes a lot of skill to put up incredibly fast times in racing games since you have to be extremely precise on your turns, especially in a game like F-Zero, and not make a single mistake otherwise you'll miss out on having a top time. People have a lot of pride in these kinds of things because they are records within themselves, whether they be personal records or world records. Wouldn't you be proud if you were the best at something? Chill out dude. Seriously.

凄すぎます。 ただでさえこのコースは敵も邪魔でタイム出しにくいのに ガードビーム反射技も５周全部成功させるなんて 信じられません。恐れ入りました。

If you read this, i know why you're here. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

I'll use these strats in F-Zero 99 :)

This video is evergreen. I have the 99 Pilot Card backdrop thanks to your video! Thank you!

I got a SNES this Friday with F-Zero and I love it. The 16-bit era is the best era

Lol that parked blinker by the magnets on lap 4. Classic Fire Field. Absolute bastard of a track.

He uses the boost pad at the end and since in F-Zero, Fire Stingray decreases speed at the lowest rate, hes at a higher speed at 999kmph - 100kmph per second stopping back at 478kmph instead of a constant kmph throughout the entire straight. Thats my analogy of it.

When I was younger I always thought that those other cars on the track looked like moving helmets o_0

I just picked this up again after not playing it for more than 10 years. This level is HARD. and this guy makes it look so easy. hopefully I can glean some skill from watching this video...

It just goes to show how long Fire Field is. More time to listen to the awesome music! I usually compare this to the N64 rainbow road, with it's length and it being the last race in the game.

When I tried this level last week (first time in years) I thought the first laps were a breeze, but then I went and lost like 90% of my health, and BAM! lost. Then the exactly same thing happened 2000 times afterwards.

yup, I used the green car. It had the best armor so I used it to ram the other cars a lot for fun. But to really set speed records you had to use the pink muscle car. Weird thing about that car was the faster the car was going, the better it turned. So if you raced flawlessly, you could stay at top speed while still making all the turns.

Wow...that was impressive. I've never finished in less than 3'32", and that was with using a lot of the same techniques shown here.

This stage in 99 is going to give me a panic attack

The fact that this was 17 years ago... No save states, no practice mode, no nothing, just pure skill. Also, every time he had to play this track, he had to do the whole king league. You died? Too bad. Now do it all over again.

This game has very good music!! I loved it!!

Amazing race !! Fire Field was hot as hell ! I never finished 1st on this track...

one of my favorite games of all time.

Mad skills! a TRUE pro!

Pure classic SNES futuristic gaming goodness.

ok... este man SI ES UN FREAKI.... es decir, yo pensaba que ya habia visto a buenos jugadores, pero esta man está iluminado....

My favorite course. The background & music is killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great play!

Randomly in my recommended 😂

Damn, I was expecting it to be crazier than this but this guy isn't much better than me I swear! I guess that's what happens when you play this game for 11 years straight!

I havent downloaded f zero 99 yet but id imagine this track desth wind 2 and and whiteland 2 are absolute chaos

omg i need to play this game all over again

holy shit for 13 yrs i never thought of using the walls like that...this guy is good

This is really incredible...

Man, that's crazy! And gotta love that fast melody at 01:13.

I remember almost being this good with the green car. so nuts!

That was a nice run, makes me want to dig out my old game and see what my record was, it might have been close to that, but probably not.

Always hated those bloody pace cars that roam around and fuck with you. Props for sneaking around those bastards on such a tight track.

Dear frick, this looks insane to do, even when I'm not that good at driving games 😨 All I can say, hats off to this dude who accepted this 👏

Amazing skills!!

That level is so hard. That was incredible.

amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!! incredible, this game is do good :D thank you for this video

Cracked brought me here too! That run was pretty beast!

oh man i use to play this game so much when i was a kid i think im going to get it for VC on my wii right now.

I just recently beat fire field on beginner, although it was a second place finish, now to move up in difficulty lol, This is a great run, I usually have trouble with the Fire Stingray due to its low acceleration, I've been practicing getting bumped at the start, this video makes it look a lot easier.

Have you played f zero 99?

Very impressive! It's hard not to eat a mine or wall here with all the other cars in the way. Good job! XD

Great driving dude!!! Epic top speed at 2:13

the music in that game was awesome :D

again thank you , you are just a GOD !!!!!!!!!

the one thing that RELLY impressed me about this game was its awsome music

That guy's the master!

loved this game...

This is really something.

idk if it's the best in the WORLD but if any1 beat this record and all the others of yours i would die because this is FRIGGIN awesome!!!!!!!

Good job

Akiyoshi for president.

I met Akiyoshi, on a concert, he played F-zero while Victor Konietzko played guitar and tried to make it sound like f-zero. Too bad you can't get that on youtube.

BEAST MODE

I like the music^^

F Zero and F Zero X were probably my favorite racing games ever. Whatever happened to them?

Amazing performance. I have 2 versions of this and one is slow and one is fast. On the slow version can get thru in 4:35 on the fast one 3:27 and change. I find the stingray is best at most races especially in the knight league but to get thru Fire Field this easy just spectacular.

That is just crazy!

DAMN AWESOME MAN, he know how to drive man....wooooow...5/5 starz

how do you unlock the tracks dont know how to

o maaaan this brings back memories =)

This guy is good!

respect!

Excelent driving. You are the true Samurai Goroh, the rival of Captain Falcon.

Man, this game brings back memories the Fire Stingray was my personal favorite. Though...did anyone really use the green craft? (wild goose/green goose...can't remember)

amazing O.O

@Frostbeule People offen confuse the Yellow car as being the fastest due to the ability to reach it's top speed way faster than the others. Using the Fire Stingray is the most challenging in the harder tracks due to that reason.

This is the only track I can't beat on Master. How the hell are you handling the turns bumping into the rail??? Do you let go of the gas after hitting the rail and press it to not lose much speed???

I wonder if he could have made a better time if he choose the other aproach at the end. (The same he took in the other laps)

What are these vibrations after the start?

awesome!

@Frostbeule I know this is 'a bit' too late, but, if I may ask: why didn't he get bumped by both blue AND green at the start? I know I used to do that on the oval course, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Holy cow...and I felt pretty accomplished when I managed to drop below 3:30.

This is so sick. Very nice. I always hit those goddamn orange cars whenever I try for a best time, so my best is a lousy 3:26 and change. :(

bump trick, very gooddddd

yea the music fucken ROCKS!

Man, I hope they have another F-Zero stage in Smash Bros Brawl. Mute City and Big Blue were hectic!

i wonder what it'd be like to be an f-zero driver and seeing this guy come up from behind. scary shit

Man, they just don't make'em like this anymore. Gotta love a race game that requires you to hit a wall head-on to nail a turn.

eat it, dr. stewart!

Astonishing! My best time is 3'28"21 using the FS

whats with the random cpus that dont seem to count?

@MrAnderson1985 wow that made my day

burning with curiosity here now lol

F zero was the racing game for pros

Imagine this course in mirror mode on F-Zero 99 it’s gonna be challenging

Are airbags effective and 10,000 mph?

same here, the Fire Field music fucking rocks!!!!

I always flat out hated those fucking cars that were blinking like they were ready to explode when you were out front.. As a kid I would scream and shit myself when one of them bumped me out of first place. I love this game.
