You gotta love how Captain Falcon wears a disguise so people don't know it's him, and then he just goes ahead and drives the Blue Falcon like it's not extremely obvious who'd be driving it.
This run went so much better than I really could have hoped for! I got to showcase Billy dying in Ch.3, double capsule skip in Ch.5, beating Deathborn in a photo finish FIRST TRY Ch.8, and even got the Dan skip early on for Ch. 9! Chapter 7 was pretty dicey but it can always get rough so its whatever. You may not be able to tell but my whole body and especially my hands were physically trembling during the first 5 minutes. But thankfully having David in the call just talking helped me calm my nerves a lot. Shoutouts to the homie. But man, thank you so much GDQ for having me able to run this game! F-Zero is always a fan favorite and after seeing CGN's run 8 years ago, it truly is amazing to be in the spot where his run first inspired me to give this category a shot. Its been long overdue to be shown on the big stage. I'm still trying to set a better World Record on my twitch channel if you're interested in possibly seeing something earth shattering. Also if you think that poster in the background of my webcam is dope, please give a look through my artist friends website! He has some absolutely amazing work, including many different kinds of F-Zero prints! www.jrcomicart.com/
The exaggerated movements that the characters make with their arms are amazing. It's so crappy that it rolls over to being genuinely great. The blooper reels you get from beating any cup in Master difficulty with a character of choice are also great. Have any of you wanted to see Captain Falcon's underwear…? Well you caaaaaaaannnn
Although I can't keep my hopes up for it, that would be amazing. There is a fan game called Aero GPX coming out that's trying to be a spiritual successor, so I'm just holding out for that in the meantime. There's also the F-Zero GX Unlimited mod that gives the game a lot of balance changes and AI improvements, if you're up for going back in with a slightly different experience.
If you are watching this, wanting to learn more about how to get into GX. There are multiple nice resources. There are YT tutorials by SDANaegleria that are super nostalgic looking. In the discord AKC wrote up a very extensive compendium of everything surrounding GX tech and course / chapter tutorials. Also for anyone starting out, i personally suggest not worrying about side attacking or shift boosting and focus on learning MT , Quick turning and MTSing first as these serve as fundamentals for everything else.
I always love to watch F-Zero GX runs. This game is as fun as it is mercilessly hard, but these runners make it look easy. Though watching them shift boost gives me secondhand panic lol.
Night of Big Blue, as well another song, Sounds of Mute City can actually be unlocked for use on their regular tracks through a button combination on the extras screen.
Imagine getting a 30 S headstart and still losing, I can't imagine the practice that went into this. This is one of the games that I always wanted to speedrun, maybe I will try it...
What a great game. My girlfriend and I love it so much. We were trying so hard taking turns and observating each others to improve. Some maps were awesome, but man this game is hard. Great ost also. A shame they didn't make a remaster with online mode or coop with CPU. That would be so sick.
Great run! I watched another GDQ run of F-Zero GX before and I don't recall any of these tracks so it looks like they're all story exclusive? If so that's really cool. Also I remember the runner doing something called snaking. Is that not utilized in this run?
Yes, this is a story mode exclusive run! This games speedruns are generally split between max acceleration (which is what snaking uses), and max speed.

That’s not how that works lol
He is talking about mission 3
Watched this live, after every shift boost I was thinking "that's enough Hobbes, don't do another!! please!!"

For anyone who has never played this game, I highly recommend looking up its cutscenes. Also has a great OST!

The entire OST slaps ;)
@@nicocchi It's very much hammed up, which ends up being really good :P
And to play it since it's an absolute gem
F-Zero OSTs are always bangers.
That last second pass on Deathborn was epic!
This game was so difficult casually, great run!
this game's soundtrack is the one of the best things to ever grace my ears in my jr high ages when this came out.
This game ages like a fine wine. Hoping Nintendo would release another game, almost 20 years since this one
I heard someone in Japan bought about $40,000 in Nintendo stock just so he could attend the shareholder meeting and ask for a new F-Zero game.

I loved this game. Didn't know other people did since it wasnt talked about much in my circle
I am pretty sure he started accelerating on the exact frame of 30 seconds on mission 8. This dude is cracked.

The sandbagged race was nuts. What a clutch at the end.
Sick run! I was shocked at the double capsule skip at Chapter 5 and the lap 1 skip on Chapter 9. Love this game
it's classic JRPG stuff
start off collecting little energy pellets in twaining
end with killing satan and god
Ever since that legendary run by CGN in 2014 Ive loved watching speedruns of this game.
Great run.
Love watching F-Zero GX videos! Keep it up GDQ!
nothing can beat CGN on the AGDQ 2014 but it was a great run none the less
I always love to watch F-Zero GX runs. This game is as fun as it is mercilessly hard, but these runners make it look easy. Though watching them shift boost gives me secondhand panic lol.
The Mission 8 clutch was brilliant
Night of Big Blue, as well another song, Sounds of Mute City can actually be unlocked for use on their regular tracks through a button combination on the extras screen.
Great run by a great runner. Well done Artful
I love this game! Playing it every now and then.
Great run, really good commentary too.
Sweet run! Also loved whenever the runner mentioned the game's kickass soundtrack.
Oh absolutely! Its my favorite VGM Soundtrack of all time, tied with Tropical Freeze.
That 30 second headstart incentive was sick nicely done
My heart skipped a beat with ever shift boost on chapter 7
Ledge boosting is the ultimate Moms Spaghetti movement mechanic
Imagine getting a 30 S headstart and still losing, I can't imagine the practice that went into this. This is one of the games that I always wanted to speedrun, maybe I will try it...
The tas for this game may be my favorite tool assisted run, absolutely bonkers
Side note - how did Amusement Vision get the GameCube to render this shit so fast. It's actually ridiculous and still impressive now.
That deathborn race was awesome!! I remember beating this as a kid and very hard took me forever
Chapter 4 song SLAPS always my fave too
What a great game. My girlfriend and I love it so much. We were trying so hard taking turns and observating each others to improve. Some maps were awesome, but man this game is hard. Great ost also. A shame they didn't make a remaster with online mode or coop with CPU. That would be so sick.
Absolutely sick!!!!!!!‼️❗️!!!!!!!

Cool! Love this game
Skipping the cutscenes is unforgivable. Just stop the clock or something. Lol jk great run.
Not sure if DKC was right before this or not but i did think it was weird that both these runs were practically same time
whoomp there it is
I raged so hard at this mode... but oh boy is it satisfying to clear it :D The AX Racers are pretty good as rewards :)
Next time do a showcase on snaking please!
Quite difficult?
This was by far the hardest game I've ever played in my life. And I've been playing games since DOS.
