The precision, muscle memory and reaction times are insane for F-Zero X Speedrunning, at least to an outsider like me. These may be TAS's but damn.... Pure Madness, but I guess thats what F-Zero is about for me! Stay safe yall and thank you WMJ for the showcase!
Hello Wouter. Thank you very much for that very nice video. Some pretty sweet moments. I really like the air control before sliding on BB3, slight but efficient way to took that turn. The FF2 run is very impressive, I dig the DF4 run too. Overall even if not fully optimised still very good TAS runs, sharp driving but indeed close to what a human can do, it was a pleasure to watch anyway. I hoped a bit more on SO3 but I understand that loop skip and other tricks are hardly possible for a human to pull off even on a rare basis. On BF, I think you're best lap is too close to mine witch includes mistakes. I remember my goal being at 1:22:00 so I that think a 1:20:00 is possible for a top player using this strat or a close one, I think you could push a little more on this one. I'm glad that you're still playing F-Zero X, one way or another. BTW it was nice to race against you a few times in FZ 99 ^^
Thanks! Yeah the goal was to make the strategies not too crazy so they would be possible. On Big Foot I really tried but I couldn't find much time to save. I think your final lap is just really good in that run.
Excellent! Especially, I'm surprised to watch Space Plant 2 jumping strategy. But I have a question. Why did you select 1500kg custom ship at Devil's Forest 4? I think this track requires turn ability and uses ACIDTD, so it seems to be faster by selecting 780kg one
780kg is better for the floating part. When I started the track I didn't know if it would be possible and then it was too late to redo it. If you try this strategy definitely go with a 780kg ship because it's much easier to get airborne.

Despite my retirement from this series, I'm always happy to see my favorite F-Zero game get the TAS treatment. Long live F-Zero X.

Long live the slide! Long live the dive and long live Wouter's sweater!
Loved watching this. Even tho I have no idea about the mechanics of this game (only played GX) it was so satisfying to watch.

Do you plan to upload a Standard Strategies video as well?
