no competitors, no hazards, no story modes, no cutscenes of dudes doing backflips into cockpits, no strafing off the side of the track for half a frame, no waiting 30 seconds to begin racing a god, no "I just wanna go fast" NO ME GUSTA

Veryhard story mode, which is pretty funny because of how much it hates the player.

Ah right. Yeah story mode is a nightmare. poo poo, the first real chapter is murderous.

Also, regarding the run, is this easy on purpose or something? I like the breakneck pace, but you guys make it sound like a bad thing.

We might as well be watching Diddy Kong Racing 100% when it's just time trial.

You do not look terribly noble and yet I feel troubled, attracted, bewitched.

Ironic how the worst go fast mode of this game is the mode where going fast is the only requirement.

we've experienced f-zero gx story mode and that has hosed up our expectations and our tolerance for f-zero gx to an inhuman level where this poo poo just isn't strong enough for us to get high anymore

Time Trial runs are just so boilerplate because the only thing that can really happen is shaving a few milliseconds off a PB, there's nothing there to really inject any jeopardy or risk into it since most of these guys will have practiced these inputs so much they can probably do the run with their eyes closed.

This is gonna be a gently caress of a lot of time trial. Kudos to the guy for the concentration required, but holy poo poo I'm not going to keep paying attention.

Welp, this is actually boring. Time trials should be banned. Story modes only. If anything actually cool happens, quote me and I'll watch the rest.

Can't wait for Aladdin and Metroid Prime 3, among others.

Not every speedrun has to have super glitches but this feels just like it's being run as intended. Going fast in a racing game is sort of the point. And time-attack so there's not even opponents to be routed around?

They're way too excited about the speed. "Oh man you can go so fast with no opponents in your cherry-picked easy mode runs".
