Said I was going to do a private lobby in one of the random F-Zero threads a bit ago, so I figured now is a good time since I am snowed in anyways.>Who can playIf you have an NSO subscription on Switch/Switch 2, you have access to F-Zero 99.>How to join a private lobbyGo to the bottom right in the main menu, and select the private lobby option. You will be asked for three things:>Game modeSelect Grand Prix>PrixSelect Knight League, starting with this one to see how many people will join>PasscodeWill be 7243In order to join the private lobby, you have to then press Join Lobby at the proper time. I am starting this thread early so that when the next Frozen World Tour kicks off (on the hour, 7 PM EST), this is when everyone who wants to play should hit join. This game does not use a persistent lobby system. We'll keep running some more GPs after this one depending on how many people we get. If anyone suggests one, I'll be more than happy to do those up too.
Will bump every five minutes before the GP starts
Will be starting on the hour in less than five minutes
Starting it now, but if no one joins and this thread dies before I can bump it again, not going to worry about it
Well shit looks like I'm alone
One last bump I suppose to see if I can't get a Queen League lobby in 10 or so minutes
Based OP, can't join right now but I'll bumpWish they'd add more of the satellaview tracks
If someone is lurking or just seeing this in the catalog, I might wrap it up here and try again tomorrow if the thread dies before 7:30 PM EST. Next will be Queen League in roughly 11 minutes otherwise.
>>729407109Forest would go so hard since from what I know there's no actual pit zone, but actually out of a potential 2.0 update I'd like to see some of the Maximum Velocity tracks remade
Downloading
>>729407565Sweet, if you are able to get in I'll play with you on the Queen League Grand Prix, I'll start one with the same code at 7:30 PM EST but if you can't join that, I'll try a different time
>>729407815Fuck actually they have you do a tutorial before you can do anything else so I'll wait for your response. We can also do the Knight League again if you just want to get a feel for a machine if you haven't played the original F-Zero in a while, the game is surprisingly faithful control-wise.
>>729407109>>729407298satellaview tracks look like ass.every map is mute city 1 tier
>>729407902The first set we got of them are great, especially the original layout Big Blue 2 exclusive to classic mode where you have to actually have a plan going into the jump section
how many queued?
>>729408073Just me, twice :(I can try another Queen League at 7:45 PM EST or whatever works for everyone else
>>729408141I'll be here. Just tell me which league
>>729408002I mean forest and metal specifically.
>>729408332Let's do Queen League in 7 minutesSo xx:45 whatever your time is, code will be the same one I posted before
>>729408413Yeah now that I look at them, they don't really look like they were as well baked as the ones that eventually did make it into 99. Also it sucks that the BS tracks don't have their own music.
>>729408697Yeah. That's my guess as to why they're not in the game (yet)
I've never done a F-Zero 99 "1v1" before. glhf
Sandbagging for sparks in a 98 bot lobby is a mistake
How many people have joined so far? I might join if there's enough people, I haven't played 99 in a very long time.
>>729409054Yeah I figure the best approach is to just lead. Also I just lost to myself.
>>7294091832 right now.Just starting 3rd race of queen
>>729409216Did you crash?
>>729409287Yeah, followed my standard boost lines but I'm next to never leading so I forgot that there's tons of red bumpers which I ran into, then I tried to boost and oversteered.I'm also really bad at both Port Towns for some reason
>>729409392All right. I'll rank myself out real quick and we can make a new lobby
>>729409451Cool. King League on the hour?
>>729408697>Also it sucks that the BS tracks don't have their own music.A fan composer gave every track their own unique musichttps://youtu.be/ueMtmNbwDgM
>>729409529K
>>729409610That reminds me of how good this remix ishttps://youtu.be/jVRNqA6FL9Q
>>729409716Not sure if I should be doing GPs or just standard races just to rapid fire in case either of us crash out but I don't mind GPs if you don't
Oops unexpected red sandwich
God fucking damn it I lost all ability to weave in and out from these
>>72940985499 race is probably better for so few people
I'll join in half an hour if you guys are still here by then
>>729410274Yeah I was about to say, let's queue for private 99s when the World Tour is down to 8:00 to join (one minute from now)
All I had to do was not boost there to get .7 more meters of the landing area cut
Man I suck at frontrunningSorry for giving you an anti-climatic racing experience
>>729410632Yeah the reds can mess you up really bad around jump pads.
Mirror sand storm 1 is definitely the hardest course in regular 99 mode
That one was close, I keep trying to go for hail mary boosts only to fuck myself over. This race I'm going to try and not get out at the very least
What mode are you playing now? I'm joining the OP lobby but there's no one.
>>729411289Private lobby 99 lobbies, join now
>>729411289Regular 99 Same pass code
Sand storm 1 rough
Did something else happen or did me knocking you into the power sapping zone actually do something on Sand Storm 1?
Well, my Wi-Fi is being a bitch. brb
Gonna take a small break after this race, we can queue again at 8:45 PM EST
>>729411665Yeah. I lost a lot of speed and had to boost iirc
Hell yeah glitch track
>fed up with disconnections>pull the ethernet cable from my work computer>still disconnect>during a new glitch trackWhat the fuck.
Fug.Bot controlled blue bumpers are way more dangerous than they should be
>>729412114You have to juke them but on Big Blue + Red Canyon it's difficult in a lot of the sections I assume to do that
Queued up when the event changed to Frozen World Tour for the private lobby, did you both dip out or have connection issues still?
>>729412235I got bonked way hard out of the way by one that just served right in front of me.Shit sucks
>>729412383Are we back to 99 races?I thinking I was trying
>>729412453Queue at 8:50 PM EST for the private lobby (let the world tour timer get to 10:00)
awww shit we lost the Fire Stingray guyOh well, we can do this last Big Blue race. I might do the next World Tour right when it's available in 8 minutes or so
>>729412691OK. Good luck
Ok, literally had to restart my switch to finish a race with zero connection issues. Let me know when to join.
I think I'll end it here since we lost a guy. Really interesting to come back to this on /v/ two years later since when it first came out we had a thread every night for this, and that was before private lobbies. I'm playing in the next World Tour as soon as it opens, but I'd like to try to get another thread going some time with hopefully even more people. Thanks for playing!
>>729412891>>729412915I mean if you guys want to join that, we can do the World Tour but not right when it opens up, like two minutes later from that
>>729413039Yeah, i am going to join the world tour once it opens up
>>729413039I'm up, joining WT 2 minutes after it starts.
>>729413136aight, hopefully I see you there
>>729412961/v/ lobbies are slow. Regular is OK after 1.7
Hope you guys got it, it filled instantly
>>729413235I am in the lobby with Misa, I know that much
I'm in the lobby that started with Mirror Sandstorm.
>>729413327Yeah I got out on the second race when trying to make some time up>>729413426I should have stuck to delaying 2 minutes, the immediate lobbies are always the hardest
>>729413517Mine got to 1.3x multiplier, but I also see some familiar names like Chuy R and OUROBOROS. Currently holding at the Top 10.
>>729413704That's basically the sweet spot for landing in the lower top 999 for the seasonal badge since the top players are going to fight for the top 99 in the immediately opened lobbies
>>729413517Damn. I got ranked out 3rd lap of mirror silence 2, right before mirror fire field
I'm entering Fire Field as the last race while in 3rd place. I haven't played in months. Wew...
>>729414307Sounds like you had a pretty good run at least! World Tour rules in my opinion are tougher due to the extra point gathering mechanics
>>729414443It was placing around 20~ every race, but I did beat out a lot of players better than me like Mengsk.One KO during the first race probably did a lot of heavy lifting for me since I was playing wild goose. And goose with KOs in a 3 lap race is a goose that basically just keep boosting.
Top 3 on my end. Mirror Sand Storm I and Silence II got me by surprise since I hadn't played the game in months, so I'm glad that my muscle memory remains. To be frank, I got 3rd place only because Chuy R crashed. Now my head hurts, this was really tense.>>729414778Yeah, there's no way I'm beating Mengsk, he has been no-lifing the game since it got released.
>>729414778Mengsk literally played in official F-Zero GX online leaderboards when that game was released, I never try to compare myself to any of those big names. F-Zero 99 is a great game but I'm not gonna put in 6x the time that I see those private competition people do
>>729415447>>729414952to be fair, outranking in a GP/WT is a fair bit different than beating them.A lot of bad luck can hit someone far about you're league.
>>729416246*above your league
>>729405268I love you anon
