F-Zero GX runs

2005-11-28 11:01:12 pm

Probably one of the coolest f-zero games possible
anyway
i have a couple of speed runs and im not going to claim that they are the best in the world cause the orig site has the times
but mine are quite speedy but i need to know what ppl think before i submit them and start working hard on making better times for them Grin

I'm addicted to games

I received a pack of runs earlier in the month (last month?) but they haven't been completely verified yet.

WOOT!

F-Zero GX is probably one of the best Gamecube racers out there... absolutely brilliant. I can't wait.

Considering I just got into F-Zero GX, I'd have to say that this thread is great timing. I await

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

I just hope that snaking is considered a glitch and against the rules. It's more impressive to see someone have a good time without doing that trick. (I cannot do this trick, but can get good times without it)

Considering i sent in 2 full packs of GX individual runs, one for max speed and one for snaking, and that they were done by the best players in the world (some times are world records), i don't think it's a good idea you make some times yourself Wink

Snaking isn't a glitch and it's ranked separately from max speed. On top of that, would you say a time 1 minute faster than the max speed world record by using it isn't impressive? Ho wait, probably you haven't seen any good snaking vids Tongue

Yes

2005-11-29 05:43:13 pm

There are no good snaking videos.

I'll agree to that. I've seen plenty of them too.

Ok, as you say. I'm not going to try to change your opinion, but it's not a glitch and since it's ranked separately from max speed, i don't see why they should be banned. Just ignore they are there.

I only play maxspeed but snaking videos are as impressive as maxspeed vids. It can looks easy at first, but snaking like in WRs videos requires ages of practice...

Also, it's cool to see that Radix accepted videos without the original sound in it... Otherwise my run(s) would never have been on SDA a day.

No original sound? So even stiff's and chrizzle's runs are accepted?

And is there a chance to add flying vids?

I only used videos without original sound only when i couldn't get anything else (and those weren't many). I picked mostly Stiff's videos for max speed as he had original sound. Radix told me that he wants videos with original sound if it's possible, so about the flying set, i don't think he'd want 26 videos without original sound.

I won't post videos with mixed in music.
Speed runners are not discjockeys and I guarantee most people watching the vid will hate the music. I'll simply mute the video instead.

Out of curiosity, if somebody did a speed run of an Xbox game with an option to have a player soundtrack (ie, the Tony Hawk games), would they be forced to use the original soundtrack?

You mean the game lets you include any music you've put on the xbox's hard drive?

Sleeping Terror

As far as I know, yes, that's what it is.

I didn't use any mixed music. I only added GX music to the video.

everybody wanna tell you the meaning of music

There's some runs up on archive as well.

I think the third sentence explains the first. Seriously, this is like all those Toad/Koopa SMK runs that are online just because they couldn't handle Bowser/DK.

I can't imagine how the answer could be anything other than "yes."

*boing*

I bring up this thread, because I was playing F-Zero GX for fun (can't save jody on extreme Sad

) and I think this game could be speedruned the same way F-Zero X is.

What happend to the runs Radix was talking about in the beginning of this thread ?

what about 50/60 hz or other PAL differences ?

Stand: Devil's Call in your Heart

the game is too unbalanced and glitchy to fit speed running rules.

and, no one wants to play with worse ships to make runs that fit the speed running rules.

unlike FZX where the best records on vid are the runs currently uploaded in SDA.

Mad_Andy

2006-05-02 08:27:30 pm

Radix rejected the runs because the replay mode gives you no proof of your time, or whether you played on 50hz or 60hz. That and all the WRs were recorded on replay mode, so...

derDivisor47

2006-05-02 08:58:31 pm

So what would be the rules ?
