Justin Posted December 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Been busy with the holidays and excited to start on F-ZERO all week! Starting off with a warm up score, let's see if I can do better tonight! My High Score: 2'21"93 RickR, Sabertooth and HDN 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDN Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 A formidable opponent. I beat @Justin’s time by just a fraction of a second. 2’21”81. @socrates63 was right. Confidence is key. RickR, Sabertooth, socrates63 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates63 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 2' 32" 34 I was regressing hard yesterday night, but finally saw an improvement today. Woohoo! RickR and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observation from another "trying to improve" player. Your lap times look good, but you'll notice that your lap 1 time is slower than Justin/Harry. I was having trouble on lap 1 too, but then I realized you can time your gas pedal at the start, and it cuts at least a second off. Do it like this 3...2...1...(and stomp on the gas about half-way between 1 and the start). If you do it right, you'll immediately be in second place with only yellow in front of you. Hopefully Justin and/or Harry will refine what I typed, as I'm not 100% sure that's the best advice. Justin and socrates63 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDN Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) I am not sure how I can complete the challenge with my SNES gone. I guess I will have to go back to the Switch. Did I mention that I hate my mother? I’m not as pissed as I otherwise would be; at least they’re in a box in my closet instead of hers. Still pretty honked off though.

nosweargamer Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) FINALLY got to try out the SNES Mini I won from Willie, and gave the track a go over the past 24 hours.

nosweargamer Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Small improvement that took a lot of work. Using turbos wisely and a strong first lap are a key for me. 2'18"45 RickR, Justin, socrates63 and 2 others 5 The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 2" 31' 64 A one second improvement 😆 That thing about a journey of a thousand miles starting with a single step? Yeah, that's me and my F-Zero gameplay 🤣 RadioPoultry, Justin, RickR and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioPoultry Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 2'17"85 Looks like I still have room to cut off a couple seconds. At the starting line, I move to the side to let my opponents hit me from behind so that I get a boost of speed for my first lap. socrates63, HDN, nosweargamer and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates63 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) 2' 25" 17 If I can master using the speed boost, maybe I can shave a few more seconds. Trying to hold down A and B together is a little problematic. Looks like there's quite a bit of room for improvement in lap 1 as well.

Sabertooth Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 2' 23" 84 This is probably my last run before tomorrow. I'm so impressed by not only the times being posted but also the improvement folks have made. Well done everyone!

HDN Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Stay tuned for Harry’s caffeine-fueled F-ZERO extravaganza, where I hope to reclaim my spot on the F-ZERO throne, once and for all. Will I persevere and beat my arch-nemeses @Justin, @nosweargamer, and @RadioPoultry? Probably not, but damned if I don’t try. Am I streaming this? No. socrates63 and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
