Naegleria is so weird.

[@eiriseven]

OMG hahaha

[@fiveways]

He's not making fun of him, I consider everything he says joking compliments. He's egging him on for performance reasons and it makes it more entertaining. He also lost $80 of his own dollars betting him he couldn't achieve certain goals. I see it as friends having fun playing a game. No harm no foul. If anything the playfulness made the run better to me.

[@Leafia_Barrett]

The only times CGN's face changes from stonefaced concentration is to crack a big grin. I think that says a lot about how he felt about the run.

[@GamingTaylor]

One of the most entertaining Speedruns I've seen. I wish more people would take risks to show off cool exploits / risky strats.

[@Rage-_-Quit]

Depends on the game. Screwing up a race in F-Zero isnt bad, but when you mess up softlocking a game in the middle of a 3 hour run and still have like 1 hour of air time to fill, you're just fucked ^^

For those whom never played or new to FZERO franchise at 16:54 or most replayed area. AS A CASUAL, if you miss one capsule you won't make it since you need a boost. It'll just close and kill you at 00 (You can actually see it close on CGN too and he barely squeezed in) CGN is momentum boosting so he has enough speed to make it through which is why anyone whom played FZERO GX probably cheered

[@000adrianelpiola000]

[@Mightypoo007]

I had a high heartrate watching this. MAN this is exciting to watch! Great job, dude. You're a F-Zero God.

[@BigKlingy]

I remember HATING Chapter 5 Very Hard when I was younger, so seeing it destroyed like that was so satisfying. I remember I once got to the end with exactly 0 seconds. That kills you. (by that point, the final door is closed so much you can't jump through) Yeah, it's that unforgiving. There's NO margin for error.

[@XelchanTheBrave]

+BigKlingy I remember when I was little and my sister beat it... we were extremely excited and happy because it was such a frustrating chapter. In my not so fuzzy memory, there really was NO error in what she did, and in all her previous tries she always hit something or did something wrong. I'd say chapter 5, 1, 7 and the final one are the most frustrating and hard because there is no luck involved, at least in three of them. But even if this game is frustrating, hard, unforgiving, etc, it's what makes it good, because none of it is unfair, plus it controls and plays splendidly.

[@Leafia_Barrett]

Honestly, chapter 6 was my bane as a kid. Thankfully, unlike chapter 5, you technically have some leeway in that the bomb doesn't instantly detonate. I crossed the finish line with 1 second left on the bomb.

[@GustoFormula]

@@XelchanTheBrave They are frustrating and hard because there is no luck involved?? The ones where you have to be lucky are much more frustrating. When I know it was my own fault I can't complain. Chapter 4 is much worse imo, it's the one that took me the most time to beat by far, because the same thing never happens twice in that one.

[@XelchanTheBrave]

@@GustoFormula I'm personally more frustrated than my lack of skill than the AI's whims in a game like this. Because one takes endless refining, the other can fuck up the last minute. Also tricks like killing other pilots are part of skill, I'd argue, and it's detrimental even in chapters that aren't Michael Chain's.

[@d4rk_l1nk_sounds]

30:35 "[...] but I can't resist going for them" There is a point when you learn some speed techniques and you just can't play "normally" again.

[@ShimizuSolace]

Yeah that definitely happens. There are parts of certain tracks where's extremely easy to shift boost, such as start of Red Canyon and start of the track in chapter 9. You should always go for them since they're at the start of the lap, if you're mad, do them laps 2 and especially 3. At least momentum throttle is an extremely easy trick to pick up and will improve your play by just boosting as normal.
