Justin 8,183 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HDN 2,025 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. Justin, RickR, socrates63 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socrates63 1,357 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. socrates63 and Justin 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HDN 2,025 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 8,144 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. Had an amazing run: 2'19"91 Edited December 27, 2020 by nosweargamer Justin, RickR, Sabertooth and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nosweargamer 8,144 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 Justin, socrates63, RadioPoultry and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socrates63 1,357 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 🤣 Justin, RickR, RadioPoultry and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RadioPoultry 796 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, RickR, HDN and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 8,183 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Shaved some time off and improved my score: My High Score: 2' 19" 98 nosweargamer, socrates63 and RickR 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socrates63 1,357 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 2,281 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! socrates63, HDN and Justin 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HDN 2,025 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. Sabertooth and socrates63 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
