Excellent news about sugi!
Yes, I use the Japanese Excite translator at:
http://www.excite.co.jp/world/text/
My theory is that it knows Japanese very well, and I can figure out the English part. I translate the words back and forth multiple times, trying to minimize the damage that a translator can cause to a phrase.

very good very good (just a bit weird ) and how come did Nori instantly posted a message? he was the webmaster of a ranking site for X, that is now back online from what I understand in his message...
I've asked sugi (trying to be as polite as possible... tough ) for the records.
busy busy busy. back to work (to justify my stay un Japan I have to write some stupid reports in english)
edit: OK! Nori was already registered here. that's why!!

Sugi has now submitted times for all 3 versions, becoming our 15th Universal player! Sugi used to run the leading F-Zero time trial competition site (all versions) in Japan. He joins Fred Just, MAX 2000, Sami Cetin, Dustin Andrews and myself as former or current F-Zero time trial competition webmasters who are members here.
Dave
edit: changed "14th Universal player" to 15th because technically Olivier Holmiere became a member of all 3 competitions shortly before sugi. The Universal chart is growing fast!!!

cool! I should advertize this universal ranking too. sugi is going to send you the records after putting them in order.
after analyzing 100 japanese BBS on the internet (ok... I just asked my girlfriend ) I think the title of the forum is ok but for the explanation (talk about f-zero...) try "F-Zeroについての話を日本語で" ("f-zero ni tsuite no hanashi o nihongo de" if you want to know...)

sugi on the board today:
"GXを予約し、本体も何とか買えそうです。 これで残すは、ランキングサイトの復活ですな(笑)"
"I preordered GC, and looks like I'll be able to buy a GC soon too. Then the only thing left is the rebirth of the ranking site (laugh)"
preorder? preorder? tomorrow let's do that too!! J-30! (the release date seems to be confirmed for July 25).

This is really exciting actually, I've always wondered when the first Japanese player would join the SNES competion. I just hope that others will follow Sugi's example and join aswell, even though many of them will kick my butt. 
Also, the universal rankings was a really good idea, I'm sure that's the main reason to the high activity recently.

from sugi on the BBS about the japanese ranking site:
"What kind of site it will be, seems like it will depend on my feeling at this time. 「果てしなき挑戦者たち」 (former site) just as it was maybe... I also think of a legendary (!) ranking site like its predecessor 「F-ZERO Xの稽古部屋」 . Build something new is ok but I also want good things to stay forever.
As people capable of holding up the administration of a ranking site don't appear, am I the only one in Japan who can move? " Dave you still has not changed the jap board subtitle...

So it sounds to me that sugi really wants to have a high quality ranking site that is in Japanese, but is irritated that everyone else is lazily sitting around waiting for him to create it. 
I'll be honest with you Antoine, somehow I didn't read your suggestion for the forum description. It's changed now.

I'll work on getting a picture of myself. Maybe this weekend when I don't have quite as much to do. I keep a checklist of FZC projects both large and small, and getting a pic of me to put in the gallery is on that list.

interesting post on the japanese BBS about the update here. (hey you're 4th overall sugi, good job! -it's just that there are few participants"), and sugi really encourages the other player to join here ("even if it will just make my rank go down")
I've decided to translate posts on the Japanese forum here, I think it's a good way to promote it... is it ok? but people here have to know that it's not "japanese only", that japanese players are asking questions to them...
I also receive mails from japanese players (2...), curious about f-zero oversea or other things....
