Hey there o/ This video is over a week late. I kept on making little changes which resulted in it taking longer than I expected...but all that matters is that it is here, right? The next video should not take me that long but who knows if I suddenly want to change things halfway through it...only time will tell. As always, I hope to see you in the next short or whenever the next video is done! :)

Much appreciated for spreading the word about this topic. This all started when we met one of our team members, Lifescythe, and they simply asked us the question: "Who is Jay Gonso Snaky?" What started as a simple presumption of fan fiction quickly snowballed into something massive. It felt like a major F-Zero archaeological dig. It felt like we had stumbled across some ancient ruins or something, and it was a blast working as a team and F-Zero community to get to the bottom of this. It was especially fun contacting people with connections to the old website and being like "Do you remember that one website from 1997 you referenced online about 20 years ago?"

Very interesting! Though just some constructive criticism, I think the music is slightly too loud, so it makes your voice a little hard to hear sometimes.

I'm honestly quite glad that most of the snaky lore is considered non-canon as I prefer most of the canon lore from F-Zero, that said, I do personally think Jody Summer's backstory in the Snaky lore is much better than her canon one.

To be fair, Nintendo of Japan has adopted NoA localized names as canon before, and not just minor obscure characters, I'm talking ones that played big roles in their games. The Koopa Kids (Iggy, Larry, Wendy, etc.) as well as Ganondorf's last name (Dragmire) were created by Nintendo of America and NoJ would later just use them in future media. Douglas J. Falcon might not be canon, but Nintendo of Japan adopting it isn't unrealistic. The main issue is more they haven't touched F-Zero in forever so have had no reason to.

Nice to see a video on this topic.

1:02 You got the spanish and italian wikipedias mixed up

I just use the name Falcon gets in the anime, I know the show isn’t canon but I don’t even care, it’s my head canon😂
