Recorded on August 30th, 2022 - Reupload of the same run but now you can watch it at 720p60; the quality is still a bit so-so but at least you can watch it with the smooth 60fps the game deserves (or at least it should be able to play at 60fps; blame YT if it doesn't)

Anyways, it took me two tries after running and beating Queen and King Master on a whim with a gamepad without an analog stick, and...yeah. Just wanted to play the game and since that pad was the closest thing at hand, I simply decided to try it, and then I actually beat Queen in a few tries, King in a single try, and as I just mentioned, Joker with just two retries (which were the runs I actually recorded). Don't try this at home unless you are used to playing with keyboard/d-pad or have played this enough the intended way to try a challenge. I had already completed all cups in Master in this game once in the Wii and a Gamecube controller :)

Black Bull is easily the best machine for this stupid idea with the A-rank grip and weight, as you will definitely need a stable steering machine when you can only steer with twitchy taps (you can tell in the video, so it should be clear that I didn't use an analog stick for this). At least there's the classic "if you can't beat em, destroy em" that is classic for both X and GX.
