F Zero 99 - Fire Field lap4 in Power Down

Only gets the last 30 seconds because that's all I could capture.
A mile ahead because I got a skyway on the final lap, tons of boost to burn before the finish line, a point lead to secure a win in the Grand Prix... but it wasn't the final lap, it was the third lap, and Fire Field is such a long track that the fourth lap starts when other tracks would be ending! I had barely enough distance that nobody could catch up and ruin me; someone almost did at 0:13 but crashed in their pursuit. This is the most stressful thing I've ever done in this game and I am going to try my best never to put myself in this position again...

Normally I play Falcon, but I have a soft spot for Stingray too.

Edit: This footage was back when "dry boosting", using small mini-boosts when out of power, was still fairly powerful. To my knowledge, it is no longer possible to move this quickly when out of power.

The player that has been spectating you must be shocked from what he saw.

Crew: "Don't worry, the pit area is just up ahead. Try to hold on until then."
The situation I'm currently in:

When F-Zero X had one of its songs named “Reach Out! And Grab The Last Chance!” I think the people who named it could foresee this event…

I am the guy who got second place in this prix (supertorta).
I was so angry you didn't die there, because I would've won lol
Well deserved victory though, congrats.

absolute madness doing this in the fire stingray. as a long time F-Zero player, my hat's off to you.

Fire Stingray, the machine that demands perfection.

Bro was the main character going through the shows climax

This man driving like a defenseless granny going 200mph to pick up her meds before the pharmacy closes in 5 minutes.

[AtlasNeoPS]

Jesus, I would most definitely crash out at the beginning there haha. Good stuff!

[jerppursh]

Man, I been tryin to unlock fire field just to practice, but not even practice can bring me to the absolute nerve control needed for a lap like this. I'm rewatching this.

[Voltricity]

I DIDN'T KNOW YIOU COULD STILL BOOST WHILE OUT OF OPOWER

[Minty_Meeo]

That lucky bumper showing up right after the finish line could have totally screwed you if it was a few seconds earlier.

[naxoxz]

Wow, actually a valid strategy for front running in lap 4. I never thought about it but it might be worth practicing powered down laps for rare instances like this when you need to keep the lead at all costs since Skyway is super strong in Fire Field.

[silentzorah]

Oh man, I could never do this. That takes serious skill, good job.

[LuwiigiMaster]

Just an average day for Samurai Goroh.

this is what the meta is going to look like for the top 0.001% of players in a couple years time

Legend. I thought you were gonna cautiously work your way around the track, especially around some of the most ridiculous hairpin turns and not forget the awkwardly placed red turbo snails. You owned this league 🔥

[patricklaufer]

Bro this is actual insanity😂
Very well done!

[vonbob]

Men, 2nd place crashed out trying to get to you, rip.

[Jabari]

Nice clutch man! Btw @ 0:13 I think the guy that was threatening to overtake you died at that turn because you forced them to boost like crazy to catch up😂
