F-Zero GX: 1st place on Phantom Road on Master difficulty

[@ParagonProtag]

Silver Neelson going flying off in 1st place like that is humorously in character for him for anybody that's seen F-Zero X speedrunning. 🤣

[@AshramIndustries]

Considering how much he looks like a humanoid version of Cranky Kong, the joke can be made even funnier by saying "Pride really does come before the long faaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll!"

"I wish Rainbow Road is in this game." "HOLY SH--!"

[@Ray_2112]

There are only Rainbow Roads in this game, haha. ;)

[@SilverFang2789]

This course is Rainbow Road on 50lbs of speed.

[@Hellwolf36]

You got your wish. All glory to Phantom Road

[@newgameld2512]

It's like Rainbow Road's lost evil cousin. [I call the story mode version, "Phantom Road - Freefall"]

[@TheInfiniteLegend]

What's really funny is that it was supposed to be called Rainbow Road and was gonna have more saturated colours lmfaoooo

[@cfalcon07]

The REAL rainbow road.

[@SilverFang2789]

Rainbow road on crack

[@randoburr5201]

More like devil road

The Story Mode Version of the Track was Terrifying. The Painful Memories..................of the restart.

[@waxitoto1234]

yeah, but i beat the whole game, even the story mode on very hard, but still the original phantom road, its way harder, than the story mode one, i can't get 1tsh place, unless is vs a human, but not on master

[@waxitoto1234]

and yest, it's possible, but it's way to damn hard

I could pull off 1st on master once upon a time. This is the best racing game ever created.

[@afterhours0151]

This shit is so hard that you had to make a video showing you could do it and that's why we're all here watching

[@slingshotkurt8474]

Man i wanna play this game. Ive played so many racing games but never once have i played F Zero.

[@reckazma]

Yeah GX is pretty easy to emulate if you have dolphin. If you've never worked dolphin before, watch a video on how to get games working on there. It's super easy to get the hang of and it runs GX perfectly.

[@npc_blob1609]

I see where Smash Ultimate got its Final Destination art design from.

[@AshramIndustries]

I'd argue Melee more, actually. Ultimate feels like it was designed after Xenoblade, whilst Brawl comes off as being a slight Metroid Prime aesthetic (based on what little I know of the game), and 64 feels like a Kirby design. Sadly, I can't pinpoint where Sm4sh got its FD from, but I can def say that I heavily believe that the world of Kid Icarus appears to have hosted it (in-universe at least). Melee was a dual host between Pokemon and F-Zero, Brawl a dual host between Metroid and either FE or Zelda, and Ultimate was a Hylian/New Donk (Zelda/Mario) collaboration. As for 64? Money's on Mushroom Kingdom/Pop Star host collaboration.

[@emishimaru-sama6449]

1:52 HOLY SHIT! O_O

[@LupercalRising]

That boost jump was wild

[@rinnnnnnnnnnrinRinOnishi]

The one for story mode speedruns is eben wilder since the story version is a bit different than the grand prix version

[@joninfinity17]

1:29 So intense when you maded that jump.

this should be the next mario kart dlc track

[@DarknessIsThePath]

If there only was a second bigger Phantom Road...

[@SilverFang2789]

Nope. No no no no. I don't want those thoughts in my head.

[@spacemario]

There is the one of story mode, but I don't think it's bigger.

[@PresMan36]

@@spacemario and it's actually easier than this course because there's only a ghost to race and it's actually pretty easy

[@videogamephenomhd]

It often compares to Rainbow Road, but there are no rainbows. It seems to be the evil twin of Rainbow Road.

[@BlueThunderO7]

Hence the name Phantom Road.

[@DrewPicklesTheDark]

lol @ Silver Neelson

[@Hellwolf36]

He will be remembered for how screwy the AI is off that jump

[@BlueThunderO7]

I always knew someone would be able to get 1st on this nightmare track. And now that I've seen how you race, it gives me all the more confidence to try it myself.

[@seanwalden6064]

I can handle most of the courses in the diamond GP. But this one…I always would get thrown around by the aggressive AI and couldn’t even finish. I just came in really good positions on the other races and just would come in last on this and hope my points would be high enough for me to just barely win. It worked but took many tries lol

[@Hellwolf36]

I have only accomplished this feat with 2 people: Roger Buster and Phoenix. I have also only done the flying trick on the final turn with Phoenix once.

[@PresMan36]

[@emery1057]

How do you make that jump at 1:52? the computer does it perfectly

[@vodaz9109]

Use the shoulder buttons and hold the joystick slightly toward the right.

[@NEETKitten]

>"does it perfectly" >the CPU fell off the edge and died Interesting definition of perfection.

[@Hellwolf36]

You need to boost while holding the R button at the start/middle of the ascension (since you are going up at that turn). Most players fuck up because they boost or go too fast before the turn, which causes you to fly off instantly when the ascension begins. If you pull it off, you will fly but you will have the momentum steer you in the direction without flying off. I pulled it off smoothly with Phoenix once. The reason the AI does it so well is because they have course corrections programmed instantly when they do moves like that. The safest bet is to save your boost for the middle/end and slow down when you approach the curve so you dont go flying off. Gomar and Shioh, Roger Buster and Phoenix are the best guys for this course.

[@DrewPicklesTheDark]

Considering he died, I wouldn't say perfect.

[@knowledgehunter6101]

Ahhh the late 1990s/early 2000s with music, media (at least in europe cause americanus never were into electro) filled with futuristic themes and techno, trance music in a spacey way and the use of the old synths of korg m1, trinity, z1 and triton. Miss such times everything to prepare for the millenium with flying cars, laser guns, the new thing called Internet, online multiplayer gaming, pc:s, 3d game boom with ps1, ps2, n64, dreamcast many cool legendary games etc. Now 2021....lol. wheres the hooverin cars?

[@santaclaws6718]

Perfection. Except for picture quality.

[@LITTLE1994]

Yeah, Story Mode and racing on this track on the hardest difficulty is a real pain.

[@sbromulo]

Nice gameplay!! Congrats!! 🤤

[@appleofdoom]

I beat the diamond cup on master by getting first on all the other 4 tracks and then coming last in this one. I am still yet to get a placement of higher than 20th lmao

[@strvrains]

My record is on 4th place... though, it's no more than luck XD

[@SilverFang2789]

I've never broken the top 6 with any vehicle on this course.

[@phoenixstar33]

[@ravenfuckantifa2000]

10th place is the best I can do so far regardless of vehicle.

[@shimozu716]

There is a reason you don't go top speed around the last bend of the lap. Silver Neelson was kind enough to demonstrate what happens if you do :3

[@mrhotshot1521]

It never miss the cpu spaming barrel rolls ;-;

[@Lugmillord]

Impressive. I don't I ever managed to do this. Story mode on Very hard, sure. But the AI is just unfair on this track.
