Nabana, I swear to you I’ll have one of the art pieces from your victories done tomorrow. I’ve just been tired lately so it’s taken me longer than it should have to get anything done.

Ok so I might have clipped out of bounds using a boost item and ended up skipping a vital checkpoint

this happened a few weeks ago on friday as well. maybe there's some kind of monthly server maintenance?

this usually tends to last for a while, maybe we should take a little break?

So I like taking screenshots during our racing nights just to have and see who showed up on which occasion, and this is my oldest one, with the recorded date being a little under a year ago on 11/16/2024. Here's the thread on that occasion if anyone is interested in reading back on how things went for us back then:

Yes, I AM better than you.

And again, if you want to join us, the door is wide open. The only things holding you back are your own pride and fear of rejection or failure.

You guys been racing for a while now, gimme a qrd on the /jp/ skydrift lore

just for funsies, gonna try Kasen/Kasen. apparently someone won a tournament like this some years ago, though I have no idea how with the boost and drifting stats

lol, I guess it's not very impressive when they give me my very best map that I already do easily with kasen ^_^;

Yoyo, how so you stand to use such a slippery character like Kasen is beyond me.

Since cirnowlkaz has arrived, I'll let you take second place until the third lap.

>>50175301
one trick is typically that you have to start your drifts very early, because they kinda suck. another is that you can use very small drift inputs to change your orientation quickly, which can help you squeeze your fat ass past hard corners. often, if I'm about to run into a corner, I tap drift either left or right to "sidestep" it. thirdly, you have to accept that you might have to just slow down sometimes: doing so is better than flying off a ledge or bonking into a wall.

or you can just have a good backup character like Reimu who can handle all the hard parts easy peasy!

I can never understand how everyone does that track better than me...

>>50175324
to expand upon my third point here, Kasen (and many other characters with low drift) actually turns faster when she's NOT drifting than she turns while she IS drifting. so sometimes I end a drift early to allow myself to turn normally, or I even stop a drift, turn, and then start drifting again. this slows you down a lot, but it helps you reorient yourself when you REALLY need it

>>50175276
can't give a proper answer, i arrived a bit late, VD is probably the one you want to ask, but he is not here today

>>50175276
yeah, I think VD and Fester are the oldest ones still around, so hopefully they can tell you

>>50175276
>>50175632
I may have been here from the beginning, but I'm really not the ideal person to be explaining anything. As best as I can put it: Skydrift has always been liked around these parts, and we had a pretty stacked lobby one time in one of the multiplayer gaming threads that was pretty fun, so not long after another Anon wanted to run another lobby, and then a week or two later another, until we just started doing these regularly. Somewhere along the line someone suggested a tournament since we had been doing these so long and we had a regularly decent turnout to be able to actually do them. And so here we are. We owe a lot to the tireless efforts of our Anons who host the lobbies every week and organize the tournaments. Without them these wouldn't have gone on as long as they have.
I'm sure the day will eventually come when these become a thing of the past, but I'll always think back fondly on the time spent racing with everyone and all the Anons that have come and gone along the way.

Thanks for your concern, unfortunately I shan't be cutting back on the booze

who's been the most dominant racer in the history of the tourneys?

>>50188562
>WALL OF HONOR
Here's a list of the tournament's champions so far:

>1st edish
SlowestRetard

>2nd edish
SlowestRetard

>3rd edish
cherry

>4th edish
DLL

>5th edish
DLL

>6th edish
Kaiser

>7th edish
Nabana

>8th edish
Nabana

looking at the results, it looks like a single champ hasn't dominated for long yet. but since Dll has been a strong contender for a long time, maybe you could consider him? though Nabana's reign might yet last long

>>50188659
Damn that's a kino looking list of champs. Funny how nobody has yet three-peated, how come? How difficult is it to win even one?
