Aliek, Nice to see you back!  Hope the record breaking goes well! 
Rich, I think I will have to agree with Aliek. Yes, you do need to improve in other courses, but MC1 also needs lowering, because even though it is a cool record, Leo or DVM will shatter it one day, if it dosen't get upgraded. Take my MC2 lap, when DVM almost broke it, then I went 1/100th faster, then he broke it because I did not race there much anymore. Just 1/100th makes all the difference in keeping a record, or losing it. As for that, DVM can have MC2. Don't think I will be getting it back for a while... It would be a good idea... but until Leo gets 3/100ths away from that record, I wouldn't worry about it. That record can probably last about a year the way the competition is going. IMO, don't go lowering things more unless the competition is knocking right on your door!  Kort Everett Jackson

With the launch of the new F-Zero on the Game Cube, it is safe to say Snes F-Zero intrest may die down. I feel confident that I can retire as the all time greatest Snes Mute City champion. Thank you to all who participated in my Mute City I challenge in attempts to beat my time. I wish you all better luck on the new system.

Why would it? The competion that might die down is the 64 competion because GX will be similiar to that game. But those of us that still prefer the SNES game infront of the 64 game will probably still be playing the SNES game.

I think it's quite amuzing that a person that claims that he's the master of a course is positioned 38th on lap record...

DJ: You know as well as I do that a single boost lap is the true test of one's skills. 23"22 is the fastest ever single boost lap. Try to beat it. You WON'T.

Indeed it is skill that which is needed to get a one boost lap record such as the almighty 23"22 on MC I, but skill is not measured upon how good you do in one lap or even in one course. Rich, you admitted it yourself that MC I is practically the only map you play. You may be good, but skill has very little to do with it...it's the repititive practice you get on that same one map. I'm sure that if the 1'58"xx players did some good 2 months practice on MC I they could all manage at least "one" 23"22. You may be good but your not the best. Don't forget about the 1'58"49, remember..its not even the official record...so the WR may even be lower (God only knows how).
Also, I don't know about you guys, but I'm far more impressed with overal skilled players then "the worlds best" of a single course. Sure...your time is impressive, but that doesn't make it impossible. Take a look at Leo...he doesn't have to be the best in MC I... he's still the Site Champion ( Until I start trying...j/k ) because his skill is consistent with all the courses...he gave his best on all the courses, he didn't stick to just one. Its like a kid learning slowly all the languages compared to a kid learning to speak perfect english, which impresses you the most?
Long story short...you wanna be skilled...gotta average your skill in all the courses...don't stick to one...thats been my mistake with Silence...spent so long on it I got worse on MC I and the rest 
I may be gone for a while...maybe 3 months because I "may" be going to Italy for vacation. BYE BYE!!!

You have far under estimated the difficulty of getting a 23"22 single boost lap on MC1. Even if I (the #1 ranked MC1 player) played the game for two straight months, I may not get another 23"22. Two months practice from the top players in the world may produce a 23"24 or 23"23 but a 23"22 .... not a chance. This is a time that would take years to equal. If you think, I am kidding.... I'm not. You try to go below 23"25. Good Luck! 
By the way, what did you say your best single boost lap time was? Also, my racing skills do transfer to other courses. If you think I could be the best in the world at Mute City I and not be able to race the other courses, you're fooling yourself. I could break any record I choose. Trust me, no one has the racing skills to match mine. Leo may be close but look at his MC1 time and look at mine. His time would not even rank on my top 10 list.

ok, I'm guess you weren't think strait when you wrote that. On MC1 you get no training what so ever in breaking. You would never reach top 10 on any course that requires any type of braking, not with your current skills. Actually, I don't think you can reach top 10 on any course besides MC1, perhaps MC3. Maybe eventually, but not within a year or so... And I can promise you, NO ONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD (other then yourself) considers you the best F-Zero player in the world. So instead of being just talk, prove to us all that you truly are the champion of F-Zero. I personally just considers you to be a poor soul with a need to get attention. It wouldn't surprise me if somebody else was driving in your "proof" video...
I think that the real reason why you refuse to prove your true skills to us is that you're afraid that it's gonna turn out to be just talk.

djungelurban:
*whistles* A tad blunt there.
Rich:
At latest check, you're a Pawn B level pilot. 39th Overall / 25th NTSC.
That's nothing.
Mind if I make a suggestion??
Ok. You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?
Yes, you may be ranked 1st on Mute City 1. Cool. For that, I do applaud you. However..... To truly gain respect as a Top-Notch F-Zero Pilot, I'd suggest you start climbing the charts a bit.
At your current status, you hold only ONE #1 ranking. The remainder of your times(of which a majority are), are in the high 30's, low 40's. Hit the #1 spot Overall AND hold it for 6 months and you can brag as much as you want.
Until then, Chill it a bit, eh?

Rich, like djungelurban already mentioned...why don't you prove your point and actually beat the other course times? I'm sorry... but I find it to be just pointless to play F-Zero just for the MC I course. Where's the fun in that. Heh, In my opinion YOU won't make the top ten rank any time soon for any course except the MC I.
To be honest...I think your wrong about the 23"22. I did get 23"24 if you must know...and two hundreths of a second is just a sharp turn away. I'm ending school soon and won't be able to play for a while, but once I come back after summer I'll prove you that I can get a 23"22 within 2 months after my return .
Ahem, Rich I'm starting to wonder how old are you...because you brag a "little" too much. You keep mentioning to be the best at MC I...are you forgetting that your not japanese? And that your record is 1'58"60 and we've heard of people doing 1'58"41, so lets stop the bragging until you can actually prove any point above. By your reasoning...since I have the best one boost lap time for Silence on this site, that would make me the best in the world...well...WRONG. Leandro managed a lower 5 lap time than me...and check this url out: http://www.aya.or.jp/~tko/gif/bmfz9203.gif (thanks Leo for the link).
Phew...I hope I said enough

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry...  I'm just so tired hearing him brag about his MC1 time and that he's so great and all. I just wanted to try and puncture his big ego...

humm... yes, i'm still waiting for rich to post ( or prove ) any other course times that are nearly as fast as mine... till then you're still in 39th place of overall fzero skill budy. also i believe i got my 1'58"67 with maybe a couple of weeks playing mc1 straight.. NOT all my life.. and i really dont look foward to spending much more time in such a boring course. btw u told me last time i posted my 1'58"67 that it ranked in your top 10 list.. now it doesnt anymore?? or were u just mad lol ..yea, seems that the japanese have also gone a 23"22 for a 1 boost lap.. so you're not the only one my friend.. and as i can see on the link.. their best time ( set in 1993 ) is 1'58"41..  anyway, after i get done with game boy advanced i may play snes for a bit longer and just go ahead and beat your time so u wont have so much to brag about hehe
take care
Leo

Leo: I already told you. If you do beat my time, I'll start playing again. So, why bother, you won't be able to hang with me on that track. Trust me.
By the way, your 1'58"67 is impresssive but I am sure that you would not have been able to accomplish that feat without my video and various tips. What was your time before I came along ..... 1'58"96??
DJ: Seriously, Are you joking? Someone else driving in my "proof" video. Come on, now that is low. Do you really think I would take this much pride in an accomplishment that I did not personally acheive?

Great Link, Are You Kidding? You actually want me to believe these times? The "claimed" Death Wind II time is over two seconds faster than Leo's. In case you forgot, we don't know if these times are accurate or were ever verified. If, you think that some out-of-date japenese website with a few numbers posted by someone is proof of a time, you're out of your mind. So, I will not accept 1'58"41 as the record.
Until someone shows me proof (a video) of a time below 1'58"60, I will consider my time as the:
