This Friday September 5th we'll hold the 7th edition of the official /jp/ Skydrift Cup at 8:30 pm EST.Join in for total chaos, ultra competitive autism, and the ultimate racing fun to be crowned Champion of the jpsies.>FREE cracked copy of the game:https://bowfile.com/5f0tIn case you missed our last tournament (the 6th edition), check out this thread to see for yourself how it went:https://warosu.org/jp/thread/49812121
Qualis will begin at 8:30 pm EST sharp, so please plan accordingly if you're participating.>Qualis systemSince the lobby can only hold 7 racists, using a randomizer we'll divide every racer into 2 groups, A and B.Two lobbies will be created, in which racers drawn to their respective group must go to.Each group will race 5 ROUNDS in the same 5 tracks, which will be chose by a randomizer and posted here once every group is set.After each race, we'll log the TIMING of each racer and, using AI or your brain if you're big brained, we'll add them up until the 5 races have been finished.The 7 best overall times will qualify for the Tournament.Keep in mind that I'm gonna post the times for whatever group I'm drawn in, so I'd appreciate if an anon in the other group kept track of their group.>Points systemOnce the qualis are done, the top 7 racists will earn their ticket to compete in the GLORIOUS /jp/ SKYDRIFT TOURNAMENT.The tournament consists of 12 ROUNDS, chosen at random and posted here shortly before we start.After each race, racists will earn the following points which will be added to the leaderboard:1st place – 10 points2nd place – 8 points3rd place – 6 points4th place – 4 points5th place – 3 points6th place – 2 points7th place – 1 pointPlease allow 2 to 3 minutes between each race so that I can post the updated leaderboard to the thread.After the 6th race, we'll have a 15 minute half-time break for piss and snacks.At the end of the 12th round, whoever has the most points WINS THE FUCKING CHIP AND BECOMES KING OF DA JPSIES.>A reminder of da rules:Both for the qualis as well as the tourney proper, we will only use the initial same 2 characters throughout.If there's any change the player will still be allowed to keep racing, but will be disqualified from the championship.>WALL OF HONORHere's a list of the tournament's champions so far:>1st edishSlowestRetard>2nd edishSlowestRetard>3rd edishcherry>4th edishDLL>5th edishDLL>6th edish (current champ)Kaiser
and we'll also meet on thursday just for fun, right?
>>49955198Hell yes!!!Tell your friends and fellow anons elsewhere to drop by on thursday night for the practice run of ALL tracks and of course for the tourney on Friday night
Is cherry still around? he wasn't at the last tourney or any races building up to it....
I was thinking of making a guide to help new players understand the game and git gud, since there's no real ingame tutorial and the manual sucks. I'm still pretty new myself, though, so I'd appreciate it if other guys share their tips, too. We can compile it in a rentry or something when it's done.>Basic Game Mechanics:- You gain spell meter quickly by passing through boost rings and slowly while driving normally. Drawing a spell card while the meter is full (green) will consume the meter. Drawing a spell card while the meter is filled twice (blue) will give you a stronger spell card and consume the meter. When your LW meter (yellow) is full and your spell meter is also filled twice, you can consume both to get your LW. (Spell cards can be seen here: https://gensou-skydrift.fandom.com/wiki/Spell_Cards).- You charge your spell meter and LW meters faster and you get boosting and jumping spellcards more often when you're in a worse position in the race.- Drifting helps conserve speed while changing direction and going around corners.- Your current stats are those of the racer who is currently the "board". Switching characters consumes a bit of spell meter, but it will switch the stats you are currently using, which can be well-worth the cost.- The importance of all the stats is explained here (https://gensou-skydrift.fandom.com/wiki/Stats), but just know that they're all important with maybe Mass being less important than the others. It's recommended to choose two racers whose strengths complement each other.>Advanced Knowledge and Tricks:- Switching characters gives you a small boost. This will let you gain distance even on straightaways with no boost rings.- Jumping spellcards can be used on some parts of the tracks to hop over short fences, sizable gaps, or onto higher ledges for the sake of shortcuts. Be sure to activate them early enough to gain the height you need.- Pressing up while in the air can give you a small vertical boost. Use this to gain a little bit more height while flying or to help you cross small gaps without falling. This can help with cutting really tight turns over ledges, like in the two lava levels. Also, pressing down will in the air will give you a small boost downward.- Drifting conserves the speed you already have while lessening the amount of speed you gain from boosts. So if you start a drift at the exact moment a boost ends (and not too much sooner, or else will you miss out on some speed gain), you can keep your heightened speed for longer. This is called "break drifting" (https://gensou-skydrift.fandom.com/wiki/Break_Drift). Many turns typically have boost rings within them, so break drifting can be used many times in a race to great overall benefit.- Some tracks have big hidden shortcuts that don't require items. Some of them just require you to fly fast enough and far enough to skip a section of track or land somewhere high up. Try exploring the tracks on your own time or by watching other people while racing (CPU players don't bother with shortcuts, so you won't learn from them).
>>49958172That's all I have for now.
>>49958172Wait, fuck, I think maybe pressing "down" in the air gives you a small vertical boost, and pressing "up" does the opposite.
Let's get serious about growing our audience – or should I say, start growing one. By this I mean spectators who can tune in which will also grow our competitor base.From my perspective, the key to this is to start streaming the tourneys. I don't know shit about streaming tho and my internet is bad enough lol but if anyone is savvy about cytube or twitch or whatever then we could test something for tomorrows race?
>>49958700Whoever hosts the room can do it in spectator mode, but that does mean that they will need a separate computer setup or something if they want to both stream and play at the same time.
>>49954849Hey, thanks for reposting my art for the last winner.Can't wait for this go around!
Kaiser I swear I will have your art done by Friday
>>49958700>>49958714I (VD) too have a shitty internet that is good enough for hosting, but not much more. Fucking thing has cost me several races in which my items simply wouldn't hit others lmao.So it'd be cool if anyone could try the spectator mode tomorrow (given that we open a 2nd lobby) before figuring streaming out
Tonight's racing starts at 8:30pm est tonightAs with the previous test run, we'll go through every track once to warm up for whatever tracks are drawn tomorrow
I'll be on probably a little after you guys start. or earlier, god willing
It seems a late start is a new norm for Skydrift nights, eh?
>>49964748I just made it back homeFUCKLobby's UP>/jp/ pre tourney>no passJOIN IN!!!
Again, I apologize for starting late again, it's all on me. Since it seems it was the cause for the low turnout as of right now, we'll just give it 5 minutes after this post in case somebody else joins in, and we'll start right after
GET IN HERE AND RACE
dammit lemme in
is the screen stuck for anyone else?
>Network connection timed outWhat the fuck is this shit
>>49964802Yup :(
Kicked me out of my own lobby lmao, idk whyMade a new lobby, join in>/jp/ pre-tourney
I wish aids on anyone who uses sakuya
>>49964827if our Sakuya players get AIDS, then we won't have many racers left
incoming free yoyo win
>>49964868nope
I've been playing near-perfect today! better watch out tomorrow...!
>>49964897everybody's holding back
>>49964906eh??? you guys wouldn't do that to me, right???

>>49964909sorry to break you kokoro but it's true

>>49964917Nah, test runs are all in one go!!

STARTING IN 30 MINUTES (if the lobbies are ready)!!!Lobby will be up in 15!!!
congrats again on winning the sixth tournament, Kaiserjust don't get complacent...!
>>49969654Not kaiser but lmaoing at having taken a full month to finish the drawing kekGood stuff
>>49969670hey now, I never said I was a good artist... or a fast one
QUALIS LOBBY UP!>/jp/ Skydrift Qualis>pass: quali1
Holy SHIT who the fuck is that??O.O
What the fuck, where is everynyan>>49969701Dunno!!
uh, guys? who told the japanese about our tournament?
who is this guy? he looks strong... should i go all out or nah?
>>49969717>should i go all out or nahImagine NOT going all out in tourneys......
>>49969654i like it, they got what they deserved for all those nuked i ate
the newbie who joined last night was a friend of mine, but it looks like he might not be joining us today. which is unfortunate because we might even skip the qualis this time
>>49969712I mean, this is a public site. It was only a matter of time before a superfan or two caught wind of our tourneys. It's not like we can kick him, right? Looks like we're about to get washed by this Youkai tier...
>>49969725...which is what you might have thought, had he not mysteriously vanished!!
>>49969725why would we even kick him? this is a good chance to test out metal against someone who looks strong
VD hereShould we give it time until 9 like last time to get more people in?I dunno where everybody is this time...
>>49969727nevermind.
>>49969730I think maybe people are less active now that school's started. a fair amount of /jp/sies are likely university students
why did no one told kissu?? damn!
>>49969734But it's Friday night..... there's a reason why they're held on Friday nights
>>49969730i dont mind waiting, dont know about the rest though
>>49969740even so, I have two assignments due tonight (though that doesn't stop me from attending anyway, lol)
I don't mind either, though I'm worried our new friend will get bored and leave. I wanna at least race him before then
>>49969746>I wanna at least race him before thenSame. Can we do a quick race or two while we wait for anyone else to show up?
>>49969722i mean i am not using my favorites in case i may win(not that i am that confident)
>>49969736I just checked and there's a couple posts telling them about yesterday's test run and today's tourney but with zero repliesMaybe popularity's reclining? D:
>>49969759I think the fact that qualifiers are merciless on the noobs might have been a factor
>>49969758Are you Kaiser? Bruh go all out and defend your title, don't be a pussy
>>49969754yeah, just a few quick warm up races sound good>>49969759yeah, thats me, i just told them, maybe on one saw it yetMaybe popularity's recliningmaybe, but we had a good run for an old game that no one plays, we almost managed to fill 2 servers at the peak
let's do a couple warm-up races then
>no cherry (again)>no slowestretard>no TFT>no other guys like cancermania and a few others i forgorMan... kinda bummed out. We'll start at 9, but should we consider it a tourney? We could just race a bunch of random tracks and hold it again next month and properly build up hype this timePls share your thoughts so we know what to do
I say we keep it a tourney. we can't just cancel tourneys because older racers don't show up! it's not fair to the other racers and plus it makes us look lame
I say tourney too, but I'm biased since there's a chance with less people that I won't get dead last again lol
>>49969780Agree with this, we gotta follow through as long as there are participants.
>>49969775honestly i have very busy lately, didnt even manage to come to the tournament pre-match yesterday... but that new player showed up for a reason, so canceling the tournament seems unfair. lets just have fun and race with whoever showed up, we will properly build up the hype for the next one
>>49969784we're all a little biased, we just choose not to announce it! ;)
cheer up VD. we'll make sure that we've got more people joining us next time, even if it means we gotta put the effort in to recruit. so let's race!
I'm inviting a friend to fill up the lobby at least, but I haven't ever played against him so idk what his level is>>49969780>>49969784>>49969785Ok sure we'll count it as an official tourney but I feel it'd deserve an asterisk or something. It just feelsbadman.jpeg especially after the turnout for the previous ones
Ok well then giddy up, my friend will be joining in a bitTrack order will be posted after this post>/jp/ Skydrift Championship>pass: tsurupettan
>>49969810why are we making a new lobby?
>>49969814Name was still /jp/ championship qualis, would have been unfitting
hope our japanese racer comes back
He's back!
>>49969820Speak of the Devil and he shall appear...
TRACK ORDER OF THE DAYStarting NOW
now that think about it, with all those strange names it kinda feels like that horse game... gomen gomen...
that's rough VD. you were doing great the first half of the race
Fucked up the shortcut twice in a row, it's over...
well done yoyo, you have improved a lot
Results after 1>>49969835I'm unmotivated as shit
>>49969838thanks! I've been working hard to get the fundamentals down and it's really paid off!I put all my important lessons here in hopes that other newbs can get into this as well: >>49958172please if anyone has any hot tips and tricks, feel free to contribute. I think this is how we can get more people in our tourneys.
I exited the race end screen too fast just know i finished last, dll 3rd and yoyo first, give me your positions to add them to the points total
>>49969855I think the japanese player was 2nd
>>499698554th kaiser
>>49969855Fester here, I took a screenshot, but I'm on Switch so it'll probably kick me if I go check. I think I was 3rd from last?
Well whatever I made my best from what my friend told me, yhope it wasnt too off
that was horrible, urban warfare sucks
this is why we need to crack down on inner-city violence
Man, the Japanese guy really reamed us that round, huh?
r3 standings
jesus christ, what a fall from grace ;_;
DII you got lucky this time...
Standings after r4New leader!
HELL YEAH
Where the fuck is Sanae's bullshit when you need it? Get at it Fester ffs
killing my serufu
>>49969922he used Suwako's LW, which actually helps the user get ahead of the pack instead of just nuking the guy in front
Standings after r5
>>49969922Kiss my froggy ass.
>>49969928nuking the guy in front is funny tho, he's getting too uppity
what are those instant nukes??
we're taking a break now, right?
Standings after r615 minute half time break!
dont make me angry, you wont like it when i am angry, i am warning you!
>>49969947Rest easy VD, we may be only 1 point apart, but I'm sure I'll manage to screw something up here in the next few rounds. You probably won't be dead last.
>>49969950you're saying "rest easy" like he's dead. he's alive and will kick your ass, I believe it!
>>49969947we are already at round 6?! it going too fast! sakuya help me!
>>49969950>>49969952I will give it my best out of respect for you guys and the tourney, but I also admit I tanked the first half because the vibe was so off this timePlus I am playing sober right now and I always play with a few drinks on me
>>49969947goddamn, I'm one point in the lead! but all the tracks from here on out are ones I'm not as good at, so this bodes ill for me unless I get in the zone.on a side note, it'll be awkward if the japanese guy wins because likely none of us can even type out his name, much less properly congratulate him
i am not on the zone either guys... i need AI to shit talk me and seethe for 2 months straight and maybe then i can race at my best
>>49969957even if you mess up VD, just remember that we appreciate you for always coming to run the show
>>49969964T-thank youAlright giddy up, let's fucking race!!!!
Standings after R7
Standings after R8
Standings after R9
Fuck whoever used sakuya, holy shit
Standings after R10
TIME to STOP you guys haha...
getting hit with Marisa lazers twice might have just sealed my loss. aim for first place!!!!! ;_;
>>49970040its just insane the level of utility these people are giving to Marisa's spell card... i really should add that to my arsenal
Standings after R11Final round coming up!!!!!!!!A new champ to be decided!!!!
Win scenarios for the final round
Guys? Japanese switched characters that last race.
>>49970060Did he?Someone confirm?
>>49970060You mean this guy showed up to kick all our asses not to win but just because he could?
>>49970064He was playing Suika/Cirno. Now he's Suika/Clownpiece
>>49970060damn... this is going to make it look like we are bitter over an "outsider" winning...
>>49970067I'm bitter, but only because I got absolutely raped by items that last race
>>49970064yeah unfortunely, he was using cirno and suika before
>>49970060I figured he would. It's not like he knew all the rules.
I just confirmed that Japaense DID change characters, because he happens to be a friend of my friend that I invited (Pony, so that's why he knew about the thread). He wasn't aware of the rule of changing characters. And he IS willing to re-race.BUT yoyo did finish last this race, so he wouldn't reach Japanese's totals even if this race didn't count.So we have 2 options:>Award Japanese the victoryOR>Re-race MaricircuitPlease tell me ASAP
>>49970076I'm not gonna rerace, I don't care enough.
>>49970076i am all up for re-race
>>49970076I wanna rerace for a second change at the trophy, but I understand if the others don't.
>>49970076RERACE NOW
>>49970081second *chance
RE-RACE IS OFFICIALLET'S GO NOW
reminder that usually we have some casual races to unwind after the tournament
Fester join back the fuck up for this last race
fester, it wouldnt be the same without your suwako and the sanae nuke!
Ok fuck it we go NOW
jesus christ VD, you did everything in your power to prevent even a chance of an upset :(
now we have no excuse lol, congrats misterious japanese dude!
R12 RESULTSJAPANESE GUY WINS THE FUCKING CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE MOST RANDOM TOURNAMENT EVER
Sorry guys, my heart wasn't in it to redo that last race. I got first by the seat of my dumb ass and for once I wasn't gonna be ranked dead last in the tourney like I always am. I'm just gonna take that as my consolation and call it.
congratulations japanese guy. after that, though, I feel the need to log off. see you guys next week!
Are we gonna discuss Yoyo's choke or is it too soon? Dude was running away with the chip UNTIL.........
so we are on that part where the misterious and strong new characters appear, huh?
>>49970124I'm no good at Mari-circuit sadly. and in this game, if you don't get a strong lead early on then you're at the mercy of item spam RNG
Oh great now a phantasm?!
>>49970128But you were smashing it...... even in the tracks you said you weren't good at.....
>>49970122dont worry dude, no hard feelings
>>49957611Yeah I am, I swear. I wanted to step back for a little while and hopefully let new racers have their chance in the spotlight. Plus I'm way too caught up in my own bullshit anyways (Don't ask.) and still owe Dll a victory drawing. Apologies for not helping out with planning much when I've been here a while, I did want to at some point in the past.Congratulations to the new victor though! Was he really that much better? I would also like to attend next month's tourney if things get better by then as well at least. Tonight wouldn't have been good for me anyways honestly.
why do you always do this to me DII? lol
That's it for me tonight, thank you all for coming!!!!!!Being completely honest this edition felt really off, due to the lack of players this time around incluiding long time racers which made me feel a bit disheartened. But that only makes me appreciate the ones who showed up more.See you all next month!!!Gg and congrats to the winner, if he can read this! (should we even draw?) And congrats too to yoyo and Dll for completing the podium, especially yoyo's effort that fell short heart crushingly, but comes to show his progress.
I'm sorry I didn't know the rules.It was a lot of fun racing with you guys.
>>49970161Ah I can't help but be a shitter, that one may as well not count!
>>49970146I fucked up slightly in the start of the human village and mari-circuit, which was enough to make the difference. the people who are already in first don't have to worry about getting hit by master sparks, stray amulets, mushroom bombs, etc because the guy in second place isn't incentivized to draw many items unlike those behind who require those items to catch up. unless there's a sanae nuke or something similar, they can usually pull ahead while the pack fights.if I were to redesign the game I would probably make it so that offensive items were less common when in 4th and 5th place, like they are for 6th and 7th place
>>49970158dont worry dude, you come back when you want to, and yeah he is good, and the other new racers is good too, me and DII got btfo>>49970162>(should we even draw?)yeah, they won fair(at the end) and square>>49970163see you next tournament, i was getting lazy and didnt practice at all for this tournament, but next time it will be different, this goes to pony and the nn too
>>49970158There you are, motherfucker. Thought you were a goner. Glad to see you wagging your tail still, and hope you sort your shit out in your favor so we see you again soon.>Congratulations to the new victor though! Was he really that much better?Wouldn't say he was"much" better because Yoyo was simply cruising until he started slipping away last 2 or 3 races, and Japanese simply didn't let off even in the re-race. >>49970163Hey, congrats on your victory! Hope to see you racing again with us
Soooo... I have a couple takeaways here>1That was a sad attempt at a championship defense by Kaiser like wtf>2Speaking of Kaiser, Yoyo might have rivaled Kaiser's choke tonight, it was practically a carbon copy of it :skull:Also this edition wasnt that bad since we got a couple new racers who might become regulars so that's cool
I look forward to seeing you all again next time.Next time, I'll strictly follow the rules.
>>49970200It's alright! Thank you for coming and congrats!
>>49969775I have been in some things that has been consuming all of my time and I haven't checked an imageboard in like a week. Sorry for missing this, dont know if I'll make the next one, I'll try.
btw, for those who are making art for the winner, here is his name. idk what we should start referring to him as from now on, but "japanese" probably won't cut it as a nickname in the long run, lol
>>49970475Good point, thanks for reminding me. His name is Nabana and he'll be competing as such going forward. He assured me he will be joining us regularly and for the next tourney, as well as Pony. I think we're all at the same level despite our ranks as seen today, so we're all gonna get better off each other and got us a couple regulars for future races.
>>49970546my friend from yesterday also intends to get better and join us more frequently, but unfortunately he felt like he wasn't good enough to race again today. which is a shame, considering that you get good by practicing. still, I'll try to bring him more often
>>49970654Please do, he really showed potential and it's always fun to see people progress. Plus it's all in good fun so anyone is always welcome
>>49970170>the people who are already in first don't have to worry about getting hit by master sparks, stray amulets, mushroom bombs, etcSorry yoyo, but this it total bullshit. I've seethed so hard at this game because of how many leads were taken from me by some bullshit random spell that made me finish 5th or some shit. I would've already won a chip if it wasn't for the typical Skydrift bullshit. So your theory doesn't fly.
>>49970793there are always exceptions, but the general rule is true that you don't have to worry as much when you're in the lead. when you get raped by items as a frontrunner, it's tragic. when you get raped by items while in the pack, then it's expected. many of my wins happen when I race nearly-perfect for the first half of the race. and once I get a decent lead I notice... "hey, I haven't even seen an item for a good two minutes! I wonder how the other guys are doing?" then I look at the left side of the screen and see everyone else spinning out because of a master spark or triple mushrooms or something as my lead on the map steadily grows. and most of my losses happen when I can't secure that early position as one of the frontrunners and get utterly obliterated by things I can't even hope to defend against 90% of the time unless I draw an elixir or something.that's just how one wins consistently; the guys in the back can't hit you if they aren't even close enough to see you, after all. again, there are exceptions to ths hard-earned peace: Sanae's, Kokoro's, Clownpiece's, and Remilia's LWs target 1st especially, as well as the possibility that the person in second place is close enough to hit you with an amulet or bomb or can snipe you with onbashira over a gap. but LWs are inconsistently-used, and itemwise it's a lot easier to manage one guy in 2nd place who's barely getting any meter than it is to manage the guy next to you, ahead of you, and behind you when you're in 5th place and everyone there is getting meter and drawing items like a madman in hopes of getting that cradle/reverie/elixir that will let them actually catch up to the frontrunners rather than just dicking over everyone nearby.of course, that's not the only way to win; there are other strategies like bagging for good items or for a powerful LW and then making a mad dash from the middle of the pack to first place during the final lap. and I'm not gonna pretend like I know everything about the game just yet, either. but this is the strategy I've discovered that works the best, and this is my reasoning and observations as for why it works. I just need to sharpen my skills so that I can put it into practice on every map and not just the ones I've gotten good at optimizing (ironically, the maps I now struggle to get ahead on are the ones that are simple to drive). but when I do, watch out!
>>49972442whatever you say kai- I mean, yoyo
>>49972442Oh you can definitely still get raped even if you're leading. I've had that happen to me plenty of times.
Hi guysDue to some unforeseen stuff, next month's tourney will be pushed back a week to Friday october 10th (instead of the 3rd).Also keep this thread up in case you wanna race this Friday night.
>>49982033alright then
how do you guys get that boost at the start of races? I rev up my character and sometimes get it done but most of the time I wont get that crazy booming start i've seen you guys get soemtimes
Sorry yoyo but I had to do it kek>>49988456Afaik you just hit the gas like a second before it hits "Go!"
>>49988456you have to start holding the acceleration button down at the right time, like in mario kart. during the countdown, start holding it just after "1" appears. if you're slightly off, you'll get only a smaller boost.
>>49992221I'm not mad. I'm not mad at all! see how not mad I am??
Ayo who down for some friendly racing tonight?
>>49999698you know it
>>500002069pm est lobby, be there

>>50001257Been a few of these lately huh.
Oh shit a DOUBLE sanae
I got the error again
kicked me out again...
Shit network kicked me out againRejoin to /jp/3
maybe someone else host?
>>50001269:'c
well that's weird.
ok, i am hosting/jp/3no pass
if it crashes again, I'll try hosting next.maybe the error might lie with one of the newbies' connections or something
BACK AGAIN at >/jaypee/If there's a network error again I will commit sudoku and let someone else host
VD come to the other lobby
you coming van?
fucking
wowwhat the fuck is going on?
Welp... must be the game that's been fucky
damn... i am going to try restarting everything
this all started happening after nn joined. my bet is that it might be something with him
Full lobby multiple times and NOW the fucking game decides to crash on us?
>>50001294but nn joined for one race last time and nothing went wrong, but i think is a good idea is everyone just checks and restarts their pc
Welp back again at >/jaypee/>>50001282>>50001282Try joining in again and let's see if shit's fixed or what
what was that?
Idk then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
could try changing server region to jp or eu (and ye wont be joining then on the off chance that it was me)
Well this fucking sucks. Idk if it's me or something about the game itself that's fucking it up for everyone, but this is annoying especially since we had full house tonight
>>50001311OK I made a JP server lobby>//jp/
can we switch to US West? most of us are still in the americas, right?
>>50001327its just a test, maybe the US servers are bad for some reason
>>50001327Try joining the JP lobby, if only just to see if it works this time
I guess it's just fucked. I'm gonna try a lobby by myself to see if it works even then
>>50001346nevermind, you can't race by yourself online
>>50001346Wait waitEveryone stay in the JP serverANDTry racing RANKEDIf it works then we all advance in ranks and shit so it's worth a try
lets see if that works
if nothing works, then I vote that we reschedule for tomorrow and see if it works then
>>50001367Yeah I agree. Saturday night racing sounds comfy, I'm down9pm est as usual
hey DII, how do you appear in your screen? every time i see you, you are either far away in the back or far away on the front, but not next to the rest of the racers, does anyone else see it too?
Nah seems like everything is fucked What unfortunate timing
I just opened a lobby with a friend, and the race works properly. I think our issues are either thata: we have too many racers and the lobby can't handle it for some reasonb: one of the racers causes the game to crash
>>50001373or a third option c: most people can't host it without it breaking, and I am an exception?
It's obviously an issue with the game itself, not any of the hosts. See you all tomorrow though!!!!I hope there's still a full lobby>>50001373Btw trying this with Pony as well just to test
>>50001370Racing looks pretty normal on my end, not sure what you mean... maybe it's desync or something?
I made a lobby on US servers.name: testpass: passwordwhoever wants to test can test with me
>>50001381then maybe its me... my internet has been bad lately>>50001384i will stay out to for now test it
>>50001384I had Dll with me and it didn't work. I guess I'll give up for tonight, though I'll think of more possible explanations
>>50001378OK racing with Pony everything's fineTry joining in everyone JP lobbyACTIVATE YOUR FIREWALL btw
>>50001409guess is only us now...
>>50001425Seems that way, let's see if it works
>>50001409well, is working now, i wonder what was the issue...
>>50001434did it work?
>>50001451yeah, we even got a new japanese friend
>>50001451Yes! Join in!
Do I still look weird on anyone's screen?
>>50001473nope
>>50001473Niope, all gucci for me
>>50001473put on some pants
>>50001482Not a chance.
new tournament strat
This lobby is getting too green!
we have space for one more
go green
the grey alliance won!
this damn desync sucks
>>50001536Fuckin finally bitch, I think that's deadass your first win ever since your pathetic championship defense desu frfrf
>>50001540what was that? yeah thats what i thought
>>50001548Yeah too bad that didn't show up at the tourney KEK
REVERSE!
That's it for me broskis, was super FUN as alwaysThanks for ccoming tonight despite the network issues, and see you tomorrow night!!!!9pm est as well
the rest of you guys please come tomorrow too because the newbie friend I invited barely got to race at all before network issues set in :<
>>50001596Will do my best to fuck shit up for the fucking faggot
>>50001603...that's fine, you in particular should go out on a date or something tomorrow night instead!
>>50001596i will invite a friend tomorrow, dont know if he will come though, i think he already has already tired to join, but got scared away
>>50001603would alice be capable of this?
Okay, guess I'm done.
>>50001612>but got scared awaywhy?
wow, are alice's bombs useless or what?
>>50001633I'm pretty certain they have less explosion range than futo and normal bombs, but if you hold back while pressing the button you drop them behind you as a trapThe trap version is actually pretty good but that requires having a lead
>>50001629see >>50001603too intimidating
>>50001645I know, I placed down like ten of them in the last track. I came back to find them gone and I'm pretty sure that the other guys hadn't hit very many of them
>>50001646Tell him to man the fuck up then lmao I swear this game has tested my sanity to its limits but it's all in good fun
since some characters were added at the request of previous official tournament winners, here's a fun idea:who would you add to Gensou Skydrift, given the chance? what would her (or his!) LW be?
>>50001725Aya, Ran, Satori, YuukaAs for tracks:Chireiden, Garden of the Sun, Shining needle castle and Myouren Temple
>>50001725Honestly the roster is pretty damn good as it isThough this reminds me, did you guys know there's mods for skydrift?There's modded tracks and modded charactersNot sure how hard it is to set up but it seems pretty cool
>>50001756woah. we should get on this
>>50001725I'd add Satori, and her last word would copy the one last used during the race, storing it until she chooses to use it. since she can look into the protagonist's heart and use the spellcards of their partner in SA, I think it makes sense.I'd also add Komachi, with her last word being pretty special. it would have three uses, like the triple amulets, and every time she uses it she teleports ahead a short distance and attacks with her scythe where she ends up. idk if that might be broken or not, but if it is you could probably balance it by giving her low speed and boost, since she's lazythis is the one picture I could find of just the two of them, lol
>>50001725Eiki shiki, my idea is that it would be map wide and based on your "behaviour" during the race, or more exaclty, on how many people did you fucked over with your spell cards, the more people you hurt, the more severe is the punishment, an extra thing would be that if you caused no harm, you get a slight speed boost.
>>50004127>>50004767Both Satori's and Eiki's last words sound spiteful as fuck and I love it
>>50004767no joke, that would improve the game by a lot lol
Hi folx, starting in about an hour so stay tuned for da lobby!Bring friends along and lets have a full house tonight
Lobby's up!>serverJP>lobby/jaypiss/
>>50005853are we still using JP servers?
I can never get a hang of that map
>>50005881*get the hang
>>50005872Yes
will be back in 5 minutes. keep racing
this casual night doesnt feel so casual...
>>50005916How so
>>50005917just a hunch
Bro I really don't know what the fuck is the logic of this gameI use characters I see the pros use and I finish last or second to last. They feel awkward as fuck to drive despite having the best stats on paperBut then I go back to using the characters that have yielded me the better results and I finish high, even though they're by most accounts shitty characters according to the stats and no pros ever use themSo what's going on here?
>>50005930the power of my love for my favorite touhous make me go faster, enough said
>>50005930what pro results are you looking at? time trials? if so then I think it's different for actual races
>>50005936in addition: the little "metagame" we have here is likely a bit different than whatever the pros are preparing themselves for
double tap
That's it for me bros, gotta go get drunk and eat wings. Whoever is made host get it going for a whileHave fun. was super fun as always, see you next Friday!!Some please be assed to make a thread
>>50005982see ya VD
ok, i need to leave now, thanks for hosting, it was fun
