tsc tsc.. wouldnt it be sad if i beat rich's mc1 time? u should be able to have the wr if thats all u play rich.. i bet i would by now  u will most likely only be regarded as a master f-zero player if u can beat my overal ranking, which would mean u are a better overall player..but for now u are lagging way behind. and like dj said.. at least play mc2 and mc3 and show us what are u capable on those tracks
later

Leo: I beleive that MC1 shows exactly what type of potential and talent you have. The other courses are fun to play on occassion but are really not needed in determining a player's skill level. A player's skill level is directly proportional to his MC1 time. 
Also, Leo, if you do beat my time of 1'58"60 and after all of the tips I gave you, I did not think that it would take you this long, I will start playing once again. And, I will CRUSH any time that you post and can prove!!!!! No one can take me in My OWN MUTE CITY I Challenge. You must be JOKING!!!

Rich:
You might want to change your "red text sig" a bit.
"Mute City Master" sounds like you can do well on ALL MC tracks. At the moment, "Mute City I Master" might be a bit more appropriate(?).
Just a suggestion.

I could do well on both the other Mute City Tracks and I could to well on all of the tracks. I just chose not to. My MC1 time shows my skill level.

It's just my humble opinion, but I disagree with you completely. MC1 is way to easy to determine your real potential. If you practice that track long enough, you are bound to get good on it, REAL GOOD. I mean, how hard is it to go tight at top speed all the time. It's almost like saying that the worlds best driver is the Indy 500 champion, even though the guy can turn right... No, I think that the tracks that determine your skills are PT2, FF or maybe DW2. Those three tracks forces you to use more techniques like advanced boost turning and braking. I haven't mastered these techniques (heck, I haven't even mastered the bump start) and therefore I can't produce very good times on those tracks. But at "little skill tracks" like BB, DW1 and MC1 I'm much better (only the lap times though).

Kinda agree there Djungle.. The MC1 track doesn't really push your skills to the limit. Does prove you have a lot of patience and tenacity to stick with the same mind-numbing task for hours on end . i usually get bored after a few dozen tries

It has been 3 weeks, Leo, since you posted your 1'58"67. When are you going lower?

Agreed. I also am returning to GBA, and I set some new awsome times (in GBA), and I aslo got to talk with Boris van Katwijk. Sadly, just 4 hours after the meeting, my computer crashed.(intrumentational error) Its a good thing the video made it to you Dave, because there was no back up. Phew. Those computers. You treat them wrong, they complain. Treat them with care, and they never seem to thank you. *sigh* Oh Well. Maybe another time I'll fix the computer the rest of the way. I am borrowing my dads, BTW.

Kort, that's the strangest post from you yet. 20 hours before your post, I replied to your e-mail that supposedly had the video attached. The attachment you sent was a "zero-file" zip file, meaning it had no contents. You didn't reply to my response.
Now you go out of your way to state that the video made it to me, there is no back up, and you have no immediate plans to fully restore your computer, or, conveniently enough . . . to play SNES. Maybe I've been watching too much Law & Order lately, but this looks like a set-up designed to extricate you from providing proof . . . "My computer is not available, my video is gone, the emulator itself is gone, and I'm playing GBA now." Honestly, I don't think the video would have convinced anyone anyway considering that you said it was 1'47"55 (SNES DW1, for the record). That time would rank in the lower half of the chart.
Let me get back to basics. We all have a very hard time believing that you can't even provide screenshots. Listen, my 14-year old step-daughter has a $20 pocket digital camera that looks like an over-sized pen. SHE could take screenshots if needed, why can't you?

I looked through my mailbox as a last resort to find it, and I found it. Emailed it straight back to you! Sorry for the confusion, and I would have done it last night, but I was forced to go to bed. Kort Everett Jackson

BTW, Sorry for the last post before I said I found it again.
It usually takes me 2 days (even longer sometimes) to check my email, so I am very sorry for the fact that I assumed you got it. Only this morning did I check my email. I also checked my saved messages folder, and found the file, redownloaded it (attachements are part of the message, and goes with it to the saved messages folder.) and checked it for errors, then resent the file with a quick note. Your right on the skill level, but it at THE VERY LEAST, the video backs up my screenshots. Kort Everett Jackson Note: Still writing SNES FAQ for gameFAQs. Going to be very good.....

Still waiting guys...... It has been over 2 months now since I issued this challenge and the only person who has even come close is Leo. After all of the tips I have given, can't someone go lower than 1'58"60?

Rich,
Your lecturing (I hope I spelled it right) us about MC1, and yes...its true...we're slackers compared to the japanese. But instead of waiting for one of us to "surpass" you (God knows when the heck that will happen), why not just try going for the WR?
As you've seen till now non of us can even come close to your record, so while you at it...why not try to make it lower? Besides...you said its been 2 months since any of us got even close to your record...but in the mean time you weren't able to lower your record either.
As my friend Leo mentioned some time ago, we do practice other tracks as well..and of course the GBA. For instance...for the longest time I've been trying to get into the 1'52"99 zone for silence and I'm still around 1'53"06 as we speak. You say your true skill is shown on the MC1 track, but that's where your wrong. You've been playing that track long enough to know every square inch of it, but have you played the other tracks long enough to really be able to top off the records that have been currently affiliated to them? Try to play some tracks like PT2, Silence, FF...that's where your true skill appears, because your gonna have to keep in mind multiple tracks instead of just one.
And all that aside...just playing MC1 one over and over kinda gets boring, y'know? I like F-Zero for all 15 tracks...not just one, so I wish to become good with all of them.
Top Speed
P.S. I don't know how to end this message, hehe. P.P.S. I've been away for a long while I know, but thats because school kicked in and I've been playing mostly RTS's like Starcraft and Warcraft III (and a little bit of the snes StarFox, which is still awesome). I'll try and get back into F-Zero during my spring break, so hold on tight cuz I'm not through yet busting records (well...I still have to start for that matter, hehe)
Untill Later!
