F-Zero 99 - King League with Fire Stingray 1st Place (994 points)

I've been doing pretty well with Fire Stingray in King League, definitely want to play more with this ship in the other cups.

What a beast! Great driving and smart DW2! Still struggling to grab that King League W with Stingray 😤

[@arduininx683]

Mais arrêtez le c'est devenu un vrai crack head de F Zéro il ne peut plus s'arrêter

[@tyga3150]

Il regarde toute les vidéos de Fz 99 dés leur sortie ce junky 😂

[@MrRubixscube]

tiens c'est drôle j'ai regardé cette vidéo en pensant à MV (sa dernière VOD en date ayant la king league), et le vlà dans les commentaires.

[@HeliosExeunt]

Death Wind II felt like a strategic victory - KO'ing those bumpers gave you the extra energy in the remaining races to push for and maintain 1st once you got it. Well done.

[@afgcinc7206]

Yeah that Falcon in DW II is a gamer - smoked all of you, but you got the KO's and they blew up in Port Town. Would have liked to seen what would have happened had they still been in it to the end of the league.

[@user-my9ob9cd7q]

@@afgcinc7206 Yeah, Speedlund is also crazy good. I've been in a few Pro and GP races with them and they're almost always 1+ seconds ahead of the rest of us. If I saw Mengsk AND Speedlund in my lobby, I think I'd cry

[@RustyQCumber]

The size of that energy bar!

[@sinfulkivisian20]

Increasing endurance and speed boosting efficiency....F-Zero99 "That'll Do"

[@sinfulkivisian20]

And also battling smartly

That's what she said ;)

[@Allplussomeminus]

16:59 god, that fanfare sounds so good

[@AwfulKanaufil]

Avoiding red bumpers on Fire Field lap 4 feels almost impossible. That's some really heckin' good piloting!

[@sinfulkivisian20]

Not just good piloting. Nerves and balls of steel, focused rage and anger and unshakable will and drive

[@MichaelTheRead]

This is what F-Zero was always meant to be but never had the technology to actually exist as. F-Zero 99 is peak F-Zero, in my opinion. Your piloting is second to none, Mengsk. I can see how quickly you took off and opened up the lead once you clinched first in Fire Field; that's my preferred style of play as well, and it is a very good feeling when the rivals disappear from your rear-view. I imagine Jim and Kerrigan are plenty upset with you. 😆

[@JFJD]

2:35 Love the timing on that explosion, there.

[@665dark]

i like that, and how the camera show the full speed race with explosions and chashes

[@fangameempire]

It's nice to see that blowing yourself up on the last lap is still the ideal strategy

[@pnintetr]

I love how the energy bar is scraping the ultraviolet(?) range

[@neobahumut707]

I hope im as good as you by the time im s20! That port town 2 was well played (Fire stingray user for life myself haha) very clean last lap in fire field also!

[@cristobalcarrascopoblete1755]

En fire field quedé KO , pero después quedé en 13,place

[@zyxyuv1650]

@ 5:36 notice how driving over renaldinho's wreckage slows down your boost, you lose about 30 km/h and you instantly go down below your Fire Singray's max top speed... that's the penalty for driving over roadkill stains.

[@Anaklusmos42]

Wait, that penalty is a thing ?? I never noticed

[@MrRubixscube]

i feel like he was already losing the boost speed, and only went below because he let go of B to prepare for the turn ahead

[@zyxyuv1650]

​@@MrRubixscube Science is better than your feelings. "Feelings" don't help much. Simply confirm it in-game, it's easy to test. You lose a little speed.

[@3dstaco]

One lucky bumper trying it's best to ruin someones day lol gg

[@Ace_Burnz]

WOW! What a legend in the making. I was so Shocked that you got first 4 times and One 3rd and endes up with 994 Points! Nearly A Thousand! Congrats because you have earned a subscriber. The one that really surprirsed me was the fire field comeback! Thank you once again for this wonderful content and I hope you provide more of these awesome great videos for us. I will try to use what I learned from you to do the same! Thank you once again!

[@lay_oh]

I love the fact that the best play in that Fire Field first chicane is to hit the wall, Amazing!

[@antwanrockamora9614]

Yes, 😂30 years ago was the same.

[@yayeeters4919]

Ive got a LONG way to go. Congrats man.

[@KartKing4ever]

This guy just won double the races in one Grand Prix than I've won in 47 levels of playing.

[@pv9736]

Great gameplay. It's making me realise a lot of mistakes I make.

[@megumin_enjoyer]

You always beat me haha i see you in my games pretty often im AsukaNjoyr. Nice racing man ur a beast

[@spelwerdzrite]

AsukaNkoyer! I've seen you a bunch. I'm SWR

[@fiscaldisco5234]

This was a master class in F Zero

[@SuperVada]

The bots and Skyway really helped in this cup. Good job!

[@antwanrockamora9614]

Qué máquina!🙌🙌🙌

[@ICharlyl]

Hey mengsk, i don't really like helping you since it will make it harder to beat you, but I've noticed you don't use the skyway in port town optimally. You can use it at the start of the last magnet, not at the end, and you will be able to make it the same distance and take the turn tighter so it will also be faster

[@MengskGX]

I've been going extra deep just to make sure it makes it but I'll try to launch it sooner

[@enrique.salinas]

Congratulations man! My dad can’t even win the Queen or king League!😱😱😱 GG!

[@5XXFelipe]

There's a new f-zero game? What? Granted it's a battle royale and stuff but still...it was the first game i played back when i was young so nostalgia hits hard. How unfortunate because i don't have a switch and don't intend on buying one so soon, but still interesting. Good racing.

[@aarcade1499]

Watching this video showed me how hard that final lap is for the leader. They throw so many explosive ships at you! (I never would have known. I'm not skilled enough to hold a lead for more than a few seconds)

[@Abbath2Blashyrk]

Wow! What a race! Great. I was still a little sad when your biggest competitor Speedlund was disqualified. This would have been a little more exciting if he had stuck with it. But that's the way the game is.

[@redpikmin6330]

Does the Stingray’s high top speed let you run boostless over the striped gravel on Mute City, or can all cars do that?

[@MengskGX]

Stingray loses speed much slower and less over the gravel, fox is like instant. On MC1 & MC3 you can easily just drive over that section and get backbumps and not have to boost with Stingray.

[@dholmlund]

Great job!! :D

[@thehypist2587]

I managed to get a win in King League with Stingray too, although my luck wasn’t as good as yours. Amazing driving!

[@user-deathcrow77]

Challenge 1000 point !! 😎🥇

[@markomanx]

Homie be Headed OUT

[@celestrio]

You took sunderland as a rival threat? After death wind, you specifically looked for him in the race results and the only one compared to the other rivals in the other tracks. I took it he was your biggest race threat to make you run harder.

[@MatthiaGryffine]

Dude, you're amazing

[@wakawaka-ru]

great 🎉

[@KenjiLaurvick]

Can someone explain how to not hit the magnet strips in port town

[@PlanetJohnny]

I got a 994 in a King GP recently with Stingray. Would've been a sweep if not for MC3.

[@MengskGX]

MC has prevented so many perfects

[@sinfulkivisian20]

How long can bar become if you destroy more grey cars or is there a limit?

[@MengskGX]

7 KO's

[@impossiblehanley2732]

​@@MengskGX5 KOs per race

[@sinfulkivisian20]

​@@MengskGX i recently saw a gameplay on this game and it seems it can go beyond 5 KOs. The energy bar can become longer than what you gained here

[@MengskGX]

@@sinfulkivisian20 I was mistaken, its 7 KOs, thanks for reminding me, I updated reply
