F-Zero 99 Grand Prix - Knight League - 1st Place Victory (984 Points)

[@SoulCrusherEx]

its interesting to see that the high ranked players actually race and have less kos and skyroads. the lower tiers is where the apocalypse starts

[@michaelbrown1993]

Yeah, you would almost think they are playing the SNES game with the greater space between racers and the absence of the skyroads.

[@That1_shyguy]

That Big Blue race was so intense i was on the edge of my seat! Nintendo needs to see this is why a full on Online F-Zero game would be worth it.

[@alexalvarenga1690]

Do you imagine, have a tournament of the top 99 and the 5th race just like F1 grid.... OMG I was on the edge all races. Note: I found this video looking for tips, and I was amaze that the best tip is always be on 1st position managing boost and known the tracks

[@fearingalma1550]

just give me F-Zero GX in HD with full online play and a track editor and I'll be happy

[@SanFran51]

They are making it.... the only reason they made one till now because they didn't know how to top the previous entries.

[@Clickonmychannel123]

They can always add more racers in this game

[@sinfulkivisian20]

@SuperFlackjacket this was suicidal and nail biting. I agree

[@TheTiltblazin]

@ 0:26, When I seen the racer name 'Luverlady', I KNEEEEEW this was gonna be a SUPERIOR race and I haven't even started watching your video! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Blackafternoon]

Best gameplay of this game that I have found by far. Bravo sir. Not only did you win- you made great content. Thank you.

[@Cyberman65]

No problem!

[@RAGEAlanBun]

Nice one man! If you didn’t know, you can hold down on the d-pad or analogue to not get the bump after landing so you don’t lose any speed.

[@toastergaming22]

A lot of cool techniques used here. Using the boost in the beginning of the races seems like the way to go. I also didn't know about the beginning shortcut on the beach level.

[@Trimint123]

It's only useful if you're very in front, tho. Using a boost in the middle row is asking for a death sentence.

Getting a switch just for this game. Been a fan of fzero for so long.

[@kevyjoe413]

Congratulations! You are officially an F-Zero expert! I’ve actually gotten 1st place in Grand Prix mode with the Blue Falcon and Wild Goose. You really have to be lucky and patient in this mode.

[@Cyberman65]

Thanks! Yup, I can't stress enough how much luck plays a part in this.

[@SharpShadow7]

I came 2nd place and lost by 2 points, on silence I messed up and came 13th place. If had gotten 12th place i would of won.

[@TheUltraChannel]

Congrats on the 1st place victory! I just randomly got recommended this video, and I immediately recognised the name ‘Cyberman65’ from when I was playing the game earlier. It turns out I was in this exact same Grand Prix lobby with you! I was the player named ‘Berker’ Quite the coincidence that KZbin would recommend me this video, haha

[@Cyberman65]

Thank you! Hope you're enjoying the game as well.

[@dingdonglouie]

once you get away from the crowd, yea its like a damn time trial. but getting away from the crowd is the hardest part

[@Eldoofus]

Surviving in the middle of the chaos has got to be one of the most difficult things as well

[@roetemeteor]

Extremely good gameplay. Since you've already been given hints about landing, I'm also going to go ahead and say that if you practice on it, you can actually thread the needle on mute City one. There's enough of a space gap between the gravel in the wall that you can ride that line. It takes a lot of practice to get that turned down exactly, but it saves a couple of seconds. It can make your already-impressive lead even better. Also, with the double hairpin turn on silence, you can blast turn sharply and not loose speed. You'll touch the shockers but if done correctly, you wont touch the barriers. Just be aware the timing on that is nearly pixel perfect.

[@danielmoreira7085]

That Sand Ocean race was so clean!

[@Memelord2020]

You DEFINITELY showed them your moves

[@mistkeyblade]

What speed! But don’t forget that there are many guys like you all over the world!

[@soundwave-xy]

despite me not having switch online this game looks genuinely really enjoyable, might give it a shot at some point

[@skycap3081]

the 99 games tend to only be open for a few months. I miss Tetris 99 so much.

[@Cyberman65]

I've been hooked on it and have been having a ton of fun. Best 99 game that Nintendo has put out

​@@skycap3081Uh... Tetris 99 is still there

[@Allplussomeminus]

If you briefly lean before your turn, the turn will be very immediate. Useful for 90⁰ and hairpin turns. I'd say you have to lean about 0.25 seconds before turning.

[@deebonash1495]

We NEED FZERO GX!!! ONLINE. That will blow the minds of so many people in death speed race. Ugh!! Please. This was a good treat tho!!!

[@Eldoofus]

A death battle mode would be awesome as well, in my opinion.

[@frcShoryuken]

Nintendo plssssss

[@jonr8315]

Fire Field is going to be insane in this game!

[@Goallpeashooters]

Sand Ocean is also my favorite! That massive U-Turn towards the start of the lap is delectably difficult, and I am having a fun, yet challenging time trying to master that turn. The atmosphere the track gives off enhances the experience. I usually like desert themed locations in games.

[@luigiclone0286]

My favorite part is that i can see how you are supposed to go about the circuits and fighting against bumpers. My second favorite part is the fact that Vegeta and an unspecified JoJo are fighting for 2th and 3rd the whole video.

[@cosmicneko7225]

something i always wondered about these places is where even are they? death wind and port town are probably the biggest examples to me

[@xraelpeloso]

Oh yeah, my favorite anime characters, Jojo, Vegeta and Cyberman65

[@iamacd3331]

1:23 If you're going at top speed and you go over a ramp, you'll lose a bit of speed when you land. For some reason this doesn't happen when spin midair (I think the in-game tip guide even says something about holding up on the stick keeps you from losing speed as well). It's really noticeable when you're playing as stingray since it has such bad acceleration, you lose a chunk of speed and you're stuck like that unless you boost. Nice gameplay btw

[@Cyberman65]

Thank you. I learned about holding up/down right before this cup, so I'm starting to remember and implement it more from ramps.

[@JMLRetroRoom]

@@Cyberman65on SNES it was always holding down on the D-pad. It give you more air and soft landing to maintain and get even higher speeds.

[@neroclaudius3036]

You have to hold down on the D-pad when you’re about to land on the floor. This cancels the animation were you bounce for a bit and you retain speed from the jump.

[@fernando47180]

What does holding up do in F-Zero 99? I've experimented with holding down, and I know it gives you a smooth landing, but hadn't heard about holding up. Please enlighten me.

[@iamacd3331]

​@@fernando47180@neroclaudius3036 Yeah I had it backwards, holding down makes you spend longer in the air and softens your landing. Holding up does the opposite and makes you land sooner. Something else I realized is that coming off the skyway is treated the same way as landing from a ramp, so you lose speed if you aren't holding down on the stick then too. Something to watch out for.

[@PhilipMurphy8Extra]

Congratulations on winning the Grand Prix in F Zero 99.

[@gamagama69]

man wtf this looks sick cant believe i didnt hear about this game before lmao

Luck plays a part for sure during these matches.

[@MidoseitoAkage]

​​​@@Cyberman65I bet you've played alot the original F-Zero on the SNES.

[@Eldoofus]

​@@Cyberman65Yeah but don't belittle yourself, F-Zero is a difficult game at its core, even while depending on luck you need a skill degree that is above average to do REALLY well.

[@alexmoreno2606]

I saw 2 anime names Jojo and Vegeta.

[@supersonicjc]

this makes me want mario 35 back, hopefully they someday give it back to us

[@bineras1802]

Eight days ago already feels like a long time ago. Nowadays, especially for the Blue Falcon, you can't afford a tiny mistake like landing improperly, kissing the guard rail, or even taking a bad line in Mute City/Big Blue.

[@thematthew4324]

one of your rivals being vegeta was pretty funny

[@Eldoofus]

I was like "DON'T LET VEGETA WIN, SHOW HIM THE TRUE POTENTIAL OF THE LOW CLASS SAIYANS"... then I remembered Cyberman65 wasn't Goku.

[@NoDefinitiveAnswers]

This game is really enjoyable

[@knifeteeth]

Strokin' bro. Good job.

[@Azihayya]

So nice to see someone good who cares about driving after watching Northerlion talking about taking his game to the next level by mastering the Skyway before quitting.

[@thematthew4324]

seems like boosting to get ahead at the start is a good strat, since the other players are going to drain your boost anyway if you save it

[@Cyberman65]

Yeah, I've found more success being in top 5 at the start and not having to deal with crashes from others

[@blueblaze7312]

Remember the old saying? "It's not how you start, it's how you finish" I think Nintendo missed something! Because in this game, it seems HOW you start determines IF you finish! XD

[@thematthew4324]

@@Cyberman65 got my first win, this video really helped me out a lot with understanding how to play, thank you

[@Goallpeashooters]

@@blueblaze7312 the issue with this game is that when you get stuck in the pack, the game is chaos, but when you get to the front the game becomes a time trial. If nintendo makes another Fzero in this style, then the big dilemma when designing it should be on how to get the players more split up and less concentrated so that "getting stuck in the pack" becomes a thing of the past, and so that maintaining first is a little more chaotic.

[@ZeroUH]

​@@GoallpeashootersYou can use the sky highway.

[@kylezaking]

It's crazy how differently races play out at higher ranks. It looks like normal F-Zero for the most part.

[@rohgadriscol]

i didn't see many fire stingrays on the top ranking of those races, perhaps they are using more aggressively and careless than it should be.

[@SinisterSama]

Congrats on the win!!! Knight Cup Champ!!! Hope to see you on the road!!!!

[@Cyberman65]

Thanks!

[@kukukachu]

For me personally, it's GX or bust. Perhaps this game will ignite that fuse for the creation of a GX remake. Glad you're having fun. Congrats on the win.

[@179107199999]

might be saying it too late but after you jump hold the down button until you land so you don't lose speed...if this is like the SNES version well my bad you got nevermind. Nice piloting btw. I want to see you tackle Fire Field one day!!

I've been having so much trouble winning with the Blue Facon. I've won with every machine except that. It seems like you have to risk half your energy bar just to break away and just trust your driving. Congrats on this win too.

[@Cyberman65]

Thank you. Compared to when I made this video, the meta is too much now for Blue Falcon to win. The other three machines has their advantages to win, but Blue Falcon is just there. Having to deal with Golden Fox users just frontrunning and boosting is too much for Falcon as well.

[@killerjays]

@@Cyberman65 I thought so, I guess I just need to really get lucky on a track like Death Wind where I get a KO Lap 3 and try to convert from there

[@cheesebslls6203]

curious as to why you werent holding down after jumps in the first race

[@wallaceabraskulaif1328]

Great run. A question though, why aren't you pressing down before landing from a jump? Did you forgot, or there is more to it?

[@Cyberman65]

Thanks. Oh, I actually learned about doing that right before doing this cup. I do it at some points during this video, but the muscle memory for it is almost there for me.

[@sk407]

[@fearingalma1550]

Vegeta doing a great job hanging onto second place just like he does in the show (until the end)

[@rebirthphoenix5646]

The only machine I haven’t won a Grand Prix yet is the Blue Falcon but it’s so mid in every stat that I feel I’ll struggle the most with it. Any tips and tricks that I could study upon to get a win quick with it?

[@Mhedez07]

Never mess with the power of the Falcon

[@GARIU2B]

I'm more confused than ever now, actually. I've seen very little in this video that I wouldn't normally do, yet you get a bunch of firsts. I see that this was two weeks ago, when perhaps people were still learning. I have won a race, but the usual scenario I find in races or prixes, especially with the Falcon, is getting swamped by the pack and being lucky to get a top 10 race finish, or even rank in for Silence...

[@sonicbhoc]

[@Frigidevil]

Nicely done. How many hours did you put into practice mode? Watching this makes me realize how big of a help the zoomed map is, which is probably more feasible to use once you've memorized the tracks.

[@askthepizzaguy]

If you do a spin into a red bumper, aren't you immune to damage from the bumper? Correct me if I am wrong, I haven't done it that often and I'm not looking at my power meter the few times I've done it, but if my swiss cheese memory serves, I didn't get knocked around and I didn't lose health. I could be misremembering, if someone knows please correct me. I saw a bit where you crashed into a wall several times to avoid a red bumper, and I was wondering why you didn't just spin and crash through it, when no one else was around and you had a full spin ready to go. I spin into everything I see, so I will find out probably tonight when I get off work. If I'm right, it might help you avoid the wall. If I am wrong, it sucks to suck.
