F-Zero - Fire Field 3'11"13 previous world record by Akiyoshi

[TheDifferentDrum34]

I wonder if the programmers ever thought someone would get this good. 

[BizerkPixel]

3:18 how does he hit the 500s right away?

[Frostbeule]

@BizerkPixel he was boosting while using his brake to navigate through the turn and then the boost kicked in again after he released his brake.

[NEETHERREALM1]

is very hard, I finsh it only in 3:56:49

[starfox300]

F zero was the racing game for pros

[myaccount00000001]

There's no escaping that turn on 1:46.

I just bounce off that shit too and keep rolling.

[jvmc08]

I want to see the world record time without taking any damage

[LMTR14]

using a rival is cheating though, totally beats the purpose of a timed race

[LD75network]

Fire Field reminds me of Bowser's Castle from Super Mario Kart.

[Deathlock84]

I don't know why he lets go of the B button in the last corner before hitting the speed arrow. That car has good enough cornering so you can avoid tapping B!

[Mack488]

If I may ask: Why is the Fire Stingray used in all the world record races.

[Frostbeule]

@Mack488 highest top speed.

[ATDOINFERNO]

@Frostbeule I know this is 'a bit' too late, but, if I may ask: why didn't he get bumped by both blue AND green at the start? I know I used to do that on the oval course, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

[Frostbeule]

@ATDOINFERNO he reaches the top speed faster if he waits for the blue falcon to bump him a second time rather than going for the wild goose.

[myaccount00000001]

@Mack488

And you don't float and bounce everywhere like the other 3 vehicles.

Gotta have balls to use the Falcon vehicle on this track.

[mikeee382]

bad luck at 2:51

he could have made an even better time were it not for that

[123TauruZ321]

That is fucking awesome gameplay. Very very hard to accomplish.

[zublickable]

WOW! Just watchin this made me faster, but not this fast.

[nikolajekralj]

3 sec better than my best



[GamerNinjaX]

"SAMAURI GORO IS THE BEST EVER"

[Powere25]

Great driving dude!!! Epic top speed at 2:13

[TheBadBuffalo]

Fire Field, White Land, and Red Canyon should be stages on the next Super Smash Bros.

[jjgipson]

man, I can beat that time so easy

[kennsdasja]

yeah. this shit made my day. great. hast du gut gemacht, junge;)

[RevengeofShinobi1]

How do we say its a world record though? Excellent display, similar to my own when no one watched in 1992, many others must have also attained this level of excellence.

[ChronicallyConfused]

wow laps 2,3 and 4 are finished within 2 hundredths of a second more than the last

[B19Dav3]

That pumping through sharp corners. Is that tapping the accelerator?

[Frostbeule]

@B19Dav3 yes

[Kobobble]

What difficulty is this guy playing on?

[Frostbeule]

@Kobobble Master difficulty. he's doing so because then the rival car will bump him earlier.

[Snookie1988]

What are these vibrations after the start?

[NEETHERREALM1]

i can´t whit this car, only with the wild goose

[MegaQue12]

so this is a hacked stage

[nastynate3163]

12 people were FALCON PUNCH'D

[09SoiL]

damn O.O!

[Shorty15c4007]

These asians are gonna be the end for the rest of us xD

[Jawbreaker1000]

They are going at about the same top speed of the Bugatti Veyron (The fastest production car in the world).

[MegaDarknero]

Why'd he not use his boosts? He'd be a LOT quicker if he used his boosts.

[igiuLoiraM]

@MegaDarknero He are using them.

He use his 1st boost at 1:16.

The 2nd at 1:57.

The 3rd at 2:38.

The 4th at 3:20.

[psychoflee]

omg i need to play this game all over again <3

[iBleepify]

When I was younger I always thought that those other cars on the track looked like moving helmets o_0

[OldSuperMarioBros]

@iBleepify GET OUT OF MY HEAD!! D:

[WARGIRLWARGIRL]

memories !

[ace0135]

did that player lap everyone?

[religiousjedi]

Fire Stingray...first car to make pink hot!!!!

Where were the Blocker Cars (as I affectionally called the orange cars when I was little)? If this was done on Master or Expert (seems to be, seeing as the lettering of the track name is red at the beginning), those damn cars should be bashing the poor machine everywhere!!!

Nonetheless, pretty cool.

[rovert40]

What a beast time.  No tricks, no nothing -- just an absence of screw-ups. Glorious.

[poshko41]

This is really incredible...

[johnbumstacker]

SKILLS!

[IKeepItReal4U]

never thought of using the wall for an advantage. smaaaart.

[darkangelcoty]

UGH

i was playing on my emulator and i was RAPING this time but the computer's gangbanged my health to death right before the finish

i almost had this whole track in under 3 minutes... ON AN EMULATOR EVEN

i swear i will beat this record

[HBKanedge818]

My favorite course. The background & music is killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Removes]

YOU GOT BOOST POWAH. Good run, I never was worth a shit with the Fire Stingray on this track.

[Midnaswolf47]

Were all these world records done on Master?

[rovert40]

@Midnaswolf47 No, they were probably done on Beginner. On Master, those orange car shits try to cut you off.

[JSSTyger]

LOL the game couldn't handle it at 3:38. Watch the rank number switch back and forth.

[gtkidx]

@JSSTyger where? i think thats normal

[cayetanoluis]

Ha, that's some serious skill. Fire Field is an absolute cunt of a track.

[JSSTyger]

Are airbags effective and 10,000 mph?

[quiktymevideo]

Tonight we race in hell! THIS...IS...F-ZERO!!!

[bertmollar]

Holy fuck that was sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[fullweedman]

SKILLZZZZ !!!!

[leomartiniello]

man this was the only level i didnt beat....

[leomartiniello]

@leomartiniello

jus beat it

[Akumasama]

Gotta love a track where the best way to take a corner is to ram face-first into a wall.

[Miggy1983]

@Akumasama lol

[h3ptagrama]

wow

[lalachan23]

ok... este man SI ES UN FREAKI.... es decir, yo pensaba que ya habia visto a buenos jugadores, pero esta man está iluminado....

[DeckardWill]

.........

This has destroyed any notion I may ever have had of being good at F Zero.

[Legrandez666]

@DeckardWill You ever played against a real Savant in Video Games? My Notion is destroyed since i met one of those Guys.I´m not good in any Game and never will be.I am in the great wide Middlefield. That´s o.k. i sleep with a Women instead XD

[Crothall]

I had the same strategy for one of those first turns after the lap mark - bash into the corner and take the damage. My friends thought I was stupid, but you sacrifice a bit of power in one quick hit rather than try to take the corner and draaaag along the outer wall. Neat! Affirmation at last!

[bommi2603]

FUUUUUUUUCKING amazing!

[hungryhippo247]

Ahhh, old memories. Classic Nintendo games were THE best.

[envelope56]

Amazing!!!

[Drover26]

LOL. Wow there was distractions lol a car came toward him and like someone shot at him lol!!!!!!!

[SeijinMahoutsukai]

My own record is 3'24, so... *bows to the master*

[nargarothfreak]

this track is easy as hell

[strikerk]

@nargarothfreak

Beat this record and prove it.

[Shorty15c4007]

Im surprised he didnt twitch at 0:58. LOL, he probably played this level so many times, he probably knew that guy was gonna head for the mine.

[ChrisBenoit4evar]

i beat it yesterday. it was on the news.

[ummhea]

he lapped the guy...how many times? 3?

[OfaceNB]

respect

[Gretgor666]

Awesome.

I've been trying for seven years, but I've never even gotten to beat this stage in beginner mode. T_T

Congrats for that whoever.

[rhapsodythebest]

my best time is 3:12:68 but this guy passed me

[krankesschwesterlein]

really, rhapsodythebest? Thats amazing too! youre good ^^

[kirby675]

how do you unlock the tracks dont know how to

[rovert40]

This is so sick. Very nice. I always hit those goddamn orange cars whenever I try for a best time, so my best is a lousy 3:26 and change. :(

[bjorn860]

lol at the 0:58 - 1:00

[YoshiFan300]

@bjorn860 drunk driver...lol

[HBKanedge818]

@bjorn860

Im also baffled as to why he didn't blow up as well.

[sage333obama]

@bjorn860 hahahaha thats effin' funny dude

[TROLLERSDELIGHT]

@bjorn860 O its funny until he fucking slams into you!

[pantoja535]

this game is so hard

[ohyooha]

bump trick, very gooddddd

[MageAtYou]

Why does he only wallbounce at the first lap and not the other?

This wallbounce at 0:34 but not at 1:58 and the rest.

[ritsukasa]

he has the nitro at the following laps.

BTW this was my favorite snes game :)

If I were to download an emulator, that would give uncomparable timings?

[nastynate3163]

Man, I hate this track.

[gta4madman]

why do u have to write down in the title "by Japanese player"?

[Frostbeule]

lol i dunno, it's an old vid.

[Akyla0177]

@gta4madman why not? I would like to know where he is from.... I don't get where you're coming from.

[PeterTheMob]

@gta4madman because they RULE

[martin7475]

@gta4madman to give his country some credit

[Mitrallonche]

@gta4madman Because japanese player don'y have souls.

[zimonslot]

wouldn't he be faster if he didnt go through the pit stop area?

[Frostbeule]

no because there's a speed arrow he cant take then making you get alot of speed into the next lap. so it's only worth doing it on the last lap.

[DJHenrySlick]

haha nice vid i remember playing this game when i was 3yrs old haha a classic that still holds the standard for racing games.

i play Forza now and in the top 50players for all 3 of them games but i never really managed to get this good at F-Zero.

might have to bring out the SNES for a go.

[kane570003]

me too i always hated this cup

[pedroernias]

we'll never know=)

[TeslaDRay]

purple car- shitiest accereration, highest speed, best turns

Yellow car - weakest armor, best accereration, lowest speed, unstable turns

Green car - most durable, fair turns, fair acceration, 2nd slowest

Blue car - best overall car

what do you think?

[bernhardweber]

i think i top every record u made with ur blue falcon with using the stringray (purple).

[TeslaDRay]

bernhardweber -

i never made any record, just beat it at master with blue falcon at whatever cost.

[TeslaDRay]

I thought I was the only one who did that bump trick at 0:23. lol

was this one expert or professional?

[stylebus7]

has this world record been validated by the federation?

[Frostbeule]

yes

[kujiko88]

whats with the random cpus that dont seem to count?

[golga14]

This was on expert?

[Frostbeule]

no, master

[sealamadre3]

i play this game in Cuba whit my supernintendo good times.

[woogiepooh1995]

it was good times but i don't remember them i remember them being good times tho

[MrAnderson1985]

one of my favorite games of all time.

[NeuralNetProcessor]

wow Pharosurreal you may have found a paradox somewhere in there...IDK if thats a good word to use because right now my head hurts. my times are abominable in fire field. this guy has brought shame upon both me and my family. Im gonna go commit some harakiri now.

[mr11]

FAST !!!!!

[TeenySolorzano]

HMMM GOOD!!!!!

[ArgueExplain]

Smashing into the wall shouldn't make your driving more efficient, but it did in this game. I miss that.

[Pharosurreal]

Tell me if im missing something...

clock starts at 6 seconds and ends at 3:39

So that makes the race on the video 3 min 33 seconds. Is this just due to the video being converted?

[DJPsionix]

im having the most incredible flashbacks lol

[MrAnderson1985]

I always flat out hated those fucking cars that were blinking like they were ready to explode when you were out front.. As a kid I would scream and shit myself when one of them bumped me out of first place.

I love this game.

[Rebirthsouls]

@MrAnderson1985 wow that made my day

[lucariokiddo]

hey guys! i've got a rom in which you can play all tracks in practice mode!

[ralfalf4]

I met Akiyoshi, on a concert, he played F-zero while Victor Konietzko played guitar and tried to make it sound like f-zero. Too bad you can't get that on youtube.

[Creativinity7]

F Zero and F Zero X were probably my favorite racing games ever. Whatever happened to them?

[SuperLineBros]

@Creativinity7 There still going around but with the 64DD Expansion for F-Zero X

and new sets of tracks/WR's are still being competed with other world wide players. on SNES version

[lucariokiddo]

shame you get nothing for playing all tracks! it would've been so cool if you we're be able to play all tracks in practice mode.

[darkman699]

If only we had youtube back then, I blew up many times in this level, but loved the music.

[JustinandHarmony4eva]

i got 3"11"95 damn\

[wrestletube1]

Now that we know the trick we can get to beating this by collecting turbos and using them all at once on the last few levels although we will be risking life by doing so.

[karkarodd]

good job

[thenewplayer]

i wonder what it'd be like to be an f-zero driver and seeing this guy come up from behind. scary shit

[KOKID83]

this game brings back memories.

[Slovpeisn]

Japanese players and their nerdiness. xD

awesome run. What difficulty is this? Master?

[silentf0e]

Oh how I hated this level...

[patrickkroell]

snes is the best thing in history of mankind ^^

[nytelyte]

At the beginning when it says "5. Fire Field"... the text is RED. This means he is either playing on expert or master. You want to insult this guy but your insult has failed. This time is absolutely ridiculous and godly. If it were on Beginner or Standard, he'd have LAPPED Falcon for sure.

[ShadowSword32]

what useless ass holes

[RealParadoxBlues]

You first. Or do you just talk?

[goldner34]

Alright, I concede, that this time is Godly, but was it worth it?

[woogiepooh1995]

if u played it back then + the graphics are not like other f-zero is its worth it

[Frostbeule]

yes

[GCmaster5000]

this reminds me of how much i sucked at this game....

[RealParadoxBlues]

Same here. I loved it, but Lord, how bad I was...

Ironically, he's using my favorite car.

Sidenote: I never considered deliberately hitting the wall, but it makes sense - it's faster than having to make the turns.

[kirby2137]

@GCmaster5000 lol so true but this game was the shit

[ShadowSword32]

you could beat this by 0.00000001 second

without that mistake at 1:26 :D

[stareagle112]

you would have to be pretty effin good to fix that error and have a perfect run like this.

[SuzukiluvrRX11]

what stability.your a pro dude.

[BPhoenixProductions]

Death Wind II wasn't too bad for me. White Land II is another story. I think it's almost as hard for me as Fire Field.

[FrenchyStarFox]

Does anyone has beaten the record yet ?

[thebadpinoy]

i beat it on my game boy spinach with a pint of jack daniels and captain morgan duking it out in my stomach because im a hobo

[xDecemberFlower]

metal

[karkarodd]

fire field was the hardest, wasn´t it ? ^^

[Frostbeule]

pretty much. together with Death Wind 2.

[karkarodd]

question : you are swedish, aren´t you ? i was wondering ´cause your name is "frostbeule" =) well, "frostbeule" in German means chilblain ^^

[Frostbeule]

yeah im swedish. my nickname is pretty much random, although i knew it was german.

[karkarodd]

OK ^^

[lkumar11281]

I think death wind 1 is the hardest track

[ok2989]

lol

[vanceatot]

its a ovale how hard is that

[JEDEJOMANJE]

holy shit ???

btw are these ladders still official?

[Frostbeule]

if you mean MFO then yes.

[datura1983]

god i can only get second place in this level, im jealous lol. this level is WRETCHED LOL all the others are super easy in comparison plus its so long

[mopbrothers]

i always thought the red car was the worst?! Apparently it's not?

[niggerfuckshit]

clearly pink or purple

[datura1983]

no the fire stingray is the best, it handles the best. if you know how to drive it, you use the other cars to boost your speed when you first start a level. it takes mad damage too. better than the other threee. and it holds its speed stable at turns while others lose their speed.

[sdfghrdnhjt]

Hitting the first wall of the S-curve on purpose to reposition the vehicle...brilliant maneuver.

[Removes]

Really no other option with the Fire Stingray, as I learned on my own, haha.

[Greuh]

The guy who wrote the music is a huge fan of Deep Purple no doubt. You can hear a Burn-like riff here and there hehe.

[ck27891]

best snes game ever.......love the music

[chinguidinsky]

I remember this track. I played in advanced mode and i tried and tried and i jsut couldn't win haha, i just said fuck it....

[sicaelegy]

wow this shit brings back memories lol

[ABigMuffin]

how the hell is this possible?? i always get around 4 minutes on this!

[CaptainUnreal]

The guy who did that is Japanese. Thay explains everything.

And as a very fun fact, one can shave off at least 5 seconds on his time, but it's almost humanly impossible to do so.
