Brilliant, Fisher! Well played on getting better at the game!
I haven't tried it myself but I might do if I were to get Nintendo Online.

I should be there!
BTW lads, this is where you should use the skyway on Port Town 1. I'd argue that you should also use it here for port town 2, very powerful if you're comfortable with the back half.

I'm guessing this is an appropriate place to post I just found some Dell precision flatscreen PC monitor near a bin a while ago and hooked it up to my GameCube, as it has a rare composite input. The response time is really good. I came 1st in the Novice cup* in F-Zero GX, it's just incredible how well crafted that game is, with all the on and off track shenanigans and 30 ships zipping around at 60fps.
* Actually I blew up about 5 times on Aeropolis (the last track) as I don't have recovery enabled so came 80% 1st. This is acceptable for a random playthrough for the first time in years.
And my theory about the old LCD is it's a fairly decent TN panel thatsometimes had much faster response times than some IPS displays (albeit with weaker viewing angles, but they're pretty good). I was genuinely surprised and the game plays in widescreen too.
Played smash on N64 which is really surprising that it presents an anamorphic widescreen picture to the display for some reason, and that was really snappy. In fact, it was so bright and quick I had a bit of a headache after going through the arcade mode on Hard. These older games have a lot of flashing and other gooseberry fool
Edit: Oh it actually is a Super-IPS display, which from 2005 is very surprising. It's pretty great, I'm well pleased as a second screen/retro gaming monitor.

It's actually the same panel as a 20" Apple Cinema Display from around the same time. Not bad for a bin find. I should try some HDMI to DVI convertors.
My main TV handles SD signals very well (and for cube games component via Wii is definitely best), and obviously a high resolution CRT or modern panel looks better, but I'm still surprised by how great that game looks for a console corner.
I think we'll probably get GC emulation on the next Switch console, besides that I'm not expecting any more F-Zero besides this offshoot.
