It was really fun having served as the creator and host of the Tourney. I wish you all the best of luck and may we see each other again soon!!!!!!!!

aw jeez I need to finish DLL's art soon

>>50641393
Thanks again for all the work you’ve put into these sessions fren. And for writing up such a detailed doc with instructions. It’ll really come in handy.
Now, uh, does anyone want to actually volunteer to be our next host…? We’re just a few days away afterall…

I CAN host, but it seems hard and I can't stream, so I was kinda hoping someone else would volunteer first. if no one does by Thursday, then I will

>>50651100
>Why would a fast character with terrible handling need to go even faster and take turns even worse?
I figure the invincibility is the main draw of that LW, isn't it? I haven't used it often myself, but on-demand invincibility is pretty valuable. and Kasen's LW isn't very appealing to me, since the delay is really long and on many tracks you can expect any number of the targets to dodge it unless you hold it specifically for a flat part of the track
>Also how tf do you make Kasen look so sexy?
well you know, she kinda does it herself... though I am quite jealous of everyone else behind me, because it's impossible for me to see up her skirt while I'm controlling her

>>50651103
>How do you make Kasen look so easy?
well, there are two parts to this answer: the first part of the answer is that I've spent a lot of time considering her strengths and weaknesses.

considering that she has the highest top speed in the game, obviously the best way to make use of that Speed is to make sure that you're at your maximum as long as possible. so when on the ground, I am almost always on Kasen. with her high Speed and high Drift Slip (a hidden stat you will only find on the wiki; basically it makes her slide a lot when drifting, so that she sucks at turning but is good at conserving momentum), she is one of those characters who can make great use of breakdrifting, so I do it constantly, after almost every ring, every switchboost, and every change in direction, keeping me going moderately fast even on parts of the track with few rings. she has above-average Air as well, so she doesn't lose much speed if she ends up catching a little air-time, unlike Suika. her high mass is decent at bullying other racers, which is a small but notable advantage too

however, her weaknesses are also really large: her Boost is by far the lowest in the game, her turning is really below average, and her LW is thoroughly mediocre (from my experience, anyway). the dogshit acceleration means that getting hit at the wrong time, especially in the air, can mean her doom, and plus it kinda counteracts her high Speed, meaning that characters with high Boost can still outpace her on sections with lots of boost rings. her poor turning isn't a HUGE problem on most tracks, since most of them have simple curves that literally any character can do easily, but it does make her particularly cumbersome when you really NEED to turn, like on Embers of Blazing Hell, Misty Lake, and any number of aerial shortcuts you will find in the game. that last part is particularly important, because aerial shortcuts are pretty much the only way to gain a lot of distance very quickly, and a character with bad acceleration and bad turning just can't take very many of them. so, because these weaknesses can't be ignored, my biggest consideration is: who do I partner Kasen with to cover all of her weaknesses? thankfully the game has a nice selection of good partners with high Air and good handling, and recently I've been using Reimu, Sanae, and Suwako, who have a combination of stats that make it easy to navigate any part of the track, (I experimented with Reisen for her incredible LW, but her stats are so dogshit that I swapped her out). I just switch to my partner for the zig-zags and right before the air sections, I make sure to keep my cradles and fans on them for shortcuts, and it works most of the time. it IS kind of possible to use a Speedy character with Kasen, like Suika, Cirno, Clownpiece, etc, as that will make you very fast, but I've found the combo to be a little redundant considering Kasen is already plenty fast when she's in her element. though Cirno might be a decent bet, since her turning isn't terrible despite how slippery she is. I just don't like Cirno that much.

okay, that was the first part of the answer. the second part is shorter: I just practice a lot to the point that I can take 95% of each course as Kasen without issues. her turning is pretty poor, like I said, but characters like her can use their awkward drift tactically to reposition themselves. for instance, drifting left shifts your body to the right, so if an obstacle is ahead of you, you can sometimes drift INTO it in order to move your body away from it and ultimately sidestep it. weirdly enough, I think you can actually GAIN a tiny bit of momentum when doing this? I'm not sure. anyway, some hard turns can be taken cleanly if you start at early and at a wide angle, while others will require you to end your drift early before you reorient and start drifting again, and still others can only be done if you simply switch to your partner. learning the difference can only come through experience. and of course, I am very careful with my spell meter and my spellcard usage, trying my best to put myself in the best position to win on lap 3... though it doesn't always work

all that said, I think that's everything that can be said on the topic! if you have any specific question, feel free to ask

thanks and goodnight to you too! hopefully I don't mess up too much tomorrow

>>50651128
I'll certainly try my best, so you better try to win, too! I think with the current format VD introduced in the previous tournament, the crown can truly be won by anyone who can fight their way into the playoffs. after all, once you're there, you just have to hold out until the last race, and then snatch a single victory at the pivotal moment! everyone here can win a race in the right circumstance, so you aim for that crown too, got it?

i may not be able to join today due some technical and irl problems, guess i will have to wait till march as i initially expected. enjoy your racing guys, and you(yes, YOU) better win this time, its about time, don't you think?

sup guys, good to see you both

So, uh, how will this go down if it's just us four? lmao

>>50653450
Well first of all, I will seethe at the fags who abandoned us (Aki is excused). Then after that... idk. Our ruleset was specifically made for a group of at least seven, after all, and it won't function with only four.
I'm open to suggestions on how to modify the regular phase, wild card, playoffs format. Or, if you guys want, we can either delay the tournament until next week or until next month.

>>50653450
quite grim

>>50653456
I mean, we could just play it with whoever's here and do it in the old tourney style where we just keep track of points until the end and whoever is highest wins, without any of the new fancy stuff like eliminations and whatnot.

>>50653466
I guess we can. I kinda liked the eliminations for adding extra drama, but it doesn't work the same if we don't have a lot of people to eliminate. But very well, we will do what we must.

If people are gathering, maybe we could postpone it until next week...

Attention everyone, here is the race order for today, as well as the rules!
Due to only having four racers today, we will be using the old format for the tournament:
-12 races total, on randomly-selected tracks
-1st place gets 4 points, 2nd place gets 3 points, 3rd place gets 2 points, and 4th place gets 1 point
-Whoever has the most points at the end of the last race is the winner!
-There is NO changing your characters once the tournament has started.

We will be taking a 15-minute break halfway through the tournament. Any questions?

If there are no questions, we will begin at 9:10pm, EST (in about 8 minutes).

Whenever I (EVENTUALLY) get around to doing your art, I hope I can capture a little bit of that special feeling for her.

>she has the highest top speed in the game [...] so when on the ground, I am almost always on Kasen
>above-average Air as well, so she doesn't lose much speed if she ends up catching a little air-time
Huh, so Kasen is more of a grounded-type racer. That's good to know. Also I had no idea that AIR stat determines how fast you go in the air. (They should've named it AIRSPEED or something)

>high Drift Slip [...] basically it makes her slide a lot when drifting
Like a real car, Kasen's center of gravity is near the rear. In other words, her ASS is so fucking HUGE it drags her the OPPOSITE way that I want her to go

>high Speed and high Drift Slip [...] sucks at turning but is good at conserving momentum
>she is one of those characters who can make great use of break drifting
Interesting how high speed and drift slip gives Kasen both a wonky drift but also a good break drifter. Blessing and a curse I suppose. Also wtf the break drift speed bonus is character dependent? I thought every character should be break drifting...

>her LW is thoroughly mediocre
You were right, this """Inescapable""" Monkey's Paw actually sucks ass. This week I used her LW about a dozen times and the ENTIRE room dodged it about a third of the time

>her Boost is by far the lowest in the game
>characters with high Boost can still outpace her on sections with lots of boost rings
Welp I gotta count how many rings are in each track now brb
Also I just thought of Custom Tracks with how much they like their boost ring spam lmao

>dogshit acceleration means that getting hit at the wrong time, especially in the air, can mean her doom
Ive heard that having a high mass stat gives you a shorter item hit animation, I can barely feel the diference at all with Kasen

>her poor turning [is] particularly cumbersome when you really NEED to turn, like on Embers of Blazing Hell, Misty Lake, and any number of aerial shortcuts you will find in the game
Facts. Embers of Blazing Hell can suck my nuts

>that last part is particularly important, because aerial shortcuts are pretty much the only way to gain a lot of distance very quickly, and a character with bad acceleration and bad turning just can't take very many of them
>thankfully the game has a nice selection of good partners with high Air and good handling, and recently I've been using Reimu, Sanae, and Suwako
Out of these three, Reimu is the best choice cause KasenReimu gives a +3 yuri bonus. I've been using KasenSuika so far cause the website oni.gay redirects to Suika Ibuki's Touhou Wiki page

>drifting left shifts your body to the right, so if an obstacle is ahead of you, you can sometimes drift INTO it in order to move your body away from it and ultimately sidestep it
Last night I noticed how much Kasen lurches to the side when starting a drift. I happened when I fell off on Misty Lake, I re-spawned and started a drift only for Kasen to immediately fall off the side again. But I can see how I'd be beneficial to briefly drift slip for to avoid obstacles

>some hard turns can be taken cleanly if you start at early and at a wide angle, while others will require you to end your drift early before you reorient and start drifting again, and still others can only be done if you simply switch to your partner
>learning the difference can only come through experience
「日々鍛錬 」Hmmm... sounds like parting wisdom that Kasen would say....

Thank you for the beautiful reply. Its very thoughtful of you to share your wisdom to your fellow compatriots

>her ASS is so fucking HUGE it drags her the OPPOSITE way that I want her to go
somehow I don't think she would appreciate it if you told her that lol

>Also wtf the break drift speed bonus is character dependent?
it's dependent on the characters' stats, yeah. at its essence, the only thing break drifting does is preserve the momentum you already have, you know? so characters with higher Boost and Speed will be going faster and therefore will have more momentum to preserve, meaning they benefit more than slower characters. and characters with high drift slip just lose less momentum when drifting, which is supposed to be a weakness (as it means you can't take tight drifts) but can become a strength when used with intent (typically when taking very wide drifts on gentle curves of the track). all Speedy characters have medium to high drift slip, so they all can do this, while Technical characters have low drift slip (and also low Speed) and therefore get less benefit from break drifting. btw, the huge speed boosts from Fans and Reveries can also be conserved if you start break drifting at the end.

>This week I used her LW about a dozen times and the ENTIRE room dodged it about a third of the time
yeah, sadly it's not very useful if your opponents know how to dodge it. Reimu's LW only hits three targets instead of four, but I think it is much better because of how consistent it is. in general, I typically give Kasen a partner with a better LW and only use that one.

>Ive heard that having a high mass stat gives you a shorter item hit animation, I can barely feel the diference at all with Kasen
characters with high Mass like Kasen will be stunned for only 90% as long when they are hit. it's a small difference, typically around a quarter of a second, so you should still endeavor to avoid as much damage as possible.

>Last night I noticed how much Kasen lurches to the side when starting a drift. I happened when I fell off on Misty Lake, I re-spawned and started a drift only for Kasen to immediately fall off the side again.
yup this is true. but you can take advantage of this to do the opposite: when you are about to fall into the void, you can drift AWAY from the track to put your body ON the track. this is helpful in some aerial sections when you need to quickly adjust your position to land on a platform.

>>50655378
btw, I think I might actually try this out after all, to see what they do over there. I don't expect to last long, but should I rep /jp/?

>>50655526
>Also I had no idea that AIR stat determines how fast you go in the air.
yeah, it's simply the aerial equivalent of Speed. so in the air, having both high Air and Boost stats can make you really really fast.

>>50655616
>but should I rep /jp/?
lol, do it and let us know how it went. I'm curious just how you'd manage against the REAL tryhards.

update: I bravely fought my way into their finals, defeating the likes of EagleR and nabana (sorry guys), but the guys in the finals were utter monsters. they only play Speedy characters, they go faster than I could have ever dreamed of, and take every shortcut I know of and even the shortcuts I didn't know of. in the end, I got 7th place, out of 15. overall pretty fun, though those guys above me are really too crazy for me to even stand up to their feet...

but they did a raffle and I won 20 dollars! that almost covers the cost of my legitimate copy of the game

Anyone know anything about basic video editing/stitching? I've got a fair amount of clips that I want to put together as a little compilation, but I don't know what program to use. It wouldn't be a high effort edit, just something basic, so I don't want to use anything too complicated.

I know almost nothing about video editing, but for what I do know, I've used kdenlive. you can just add all the clips in one video track, one after the other

I suggest we install all the custom courses from shinten and disable table, wonderland, square, and ringbox since I think you have to manually load those in with the files.

I wouldn't go so far to say that. The February tournament could have been a fluke and casual Friday racism is less populated than tournaments.

the last time we had a lull like this was during the 7th tournament. at the time, people were invited from the skydrift discord to fill out the roster. some of the missing regulars came back for tournaments after that, though. too bad we can't ask the people who aren't here why exactly it is that they aren't here

I'm sure a lot of it has to do with personal life stuff. But if they're burnt out of the game too that's understandable. You can only get so much enjoyment out of playing the same game over and over again, and even more so when support for it has been dead for ages. Sure, we've got Shinten in the mix now, but we mostly save that for special occasions, otherwise it'd wind up played out just like the base game.
And I think a big part of it is /jp/ as a whole dying more as of late. So many left after the hack, and the state of the board's moderation has soured things for many. Add the new autosage on top of that, and it's easy to see why things are more unappealing than ever.
Though it sounds kinda cheesy, it's nice to see we've still got a little group of usuals who still show up despite it all. For however long this still lasts, it's at least been a fun one, dont'cha think?

honestly they weren't too different compared to now, it's just that we had more and different people and it was newer and fresher and more casual than now. I recommend checking the threads if you wanna see: https://warosu.org/jp/?task=search2&ghost=false&search_text=skydrift+tournament&search_op=op
for me, it was the first time I ever played anything with /jp/ so I could race for hours upon hours without getting tired. perhaps the way I felt back then is the same way you guys feel now. in any case it was a good time

so, hopefully we can scrape together a bigger crowd for March's tournament, but if not, then probably we will discuss some kinda plan to change things up. we might need some new blood to join us (maybe we can go back to recruiting on altchans), or we might need something exciting so that old racers wanna come back and keep racing (modded tournaments? or maybe we make tracks of our own?). or we could do something else. anyway, I think we're fine for now, and we'll cross that bridge when we get there

lol looking back through the older tournaments it really does seem like nothing has changed too much. this one was posted before I even joined, and it obviously didn't come true

one of VD's races from last year. good thing he uploaded it

I'd mostly echo >>50680713 We were all pretty much on equal footing as far as skill goes and didn't focus on things like character skills or tightening our lines. We went with who we liked and hit that raceway hard, and whoever won usually did so with a hint of luck lol. There wasn't as much personal banter, and it even took a bit for us to get regular full lobbies. Looking back at the old threads in the archive, the overall feel was a lot more chaotic and wacky. There was more OC posted too.
...I actually got a bit sad looking at the names of regulars that we haven't seen in awhile. There were some good racists here, and some surprisingly good drawfags to boot. It's been nice racing against all the different Anons who've joined our sessions.

Also holy crap my art really looks different nowadays, just comparing the art I did for our first tourney vs this last.

i see

>perhaps the way I felt back then is the same way you guys feel now.
i think i can resonate with that. when i first played with you guys, for a little bit a while i just stayed as a lurker since i wasnt sure on how i should present myself, didnt want to come off as a retard that just says stupid stuff and being annoying but neither being quiet as well. wasnt until as of (somewhat) recent i decided to wing it and just act as i normally would. (and yes i care about first impressions that much, leave me alone)

oh damn, that reminds me, i havent drawn anything yet for the people that won here, i'll try to get to it but i cant assure you it'll be the most appealing thing you've seen :^))

btw, I think it's best to let these threads die after the weekends so that we don't have to force conversation during the week and have more energy for banter when the time comes. so please remember to "sage" your posts for now.

you don't have to try to fit in, so don't worry about it! I think we're happy for everyone who becomes a regular
