>red pill good>blue pill badwhat did sakurai mean by this?
>queue for team city trial>can play while waiting for the lobby to fill>queue for regular city trial>have to sit in the menu until game startliterally unplayable
>ganked at the literal last second out of nowhere>forced combat area on default star>die 5 times just by getting tapped once
Anyone else had this game fuck up their sleep schedule? I played all night and woke up at 3 PM. Usually I don’t get this obsessed but I was having too much fun.
Gooey!
>>726596173Yeah, it fucked me up. I've been tired for days
>>726595890you know there's a multiplayer board right
Post machines
Friend and I tied
>>726596506Wait, was that on /v/addock? You can't level up your rank class there, can you?
>>726596612No, ranked top ride is so dead that we kept matching with each other.
How do I unlock the Bull Tank? It's the last machine I'm missing.
Is there a guide for the unlockable hats
>>726595890This game is some chaos kino, but the lag is unbearable at times
>>726596653city trial, win dustup derby 1 without being taken down once
Oh fuck how do you get grape kirby?
>Dreamland 3>64>Star Stacker>Amazing Mirror>Canvas Curse>Mass Attack>Epic Yarn>Forgotten LandSakurai's official "pass" list
>>726596647>ranked top ride is so deadlolI genuinely don't get why they added top ride. I think the game would have been slightly better without it
The Gigantes is so fun.
>>726596793It’s a fun mode.
>>726596697You need to unlock Kirby in the other modes to get his alt colors, Green has Crash Purple has Burning and White has Snowball
>>726596695Thanks. Now I need to luck out and actually get it as a Stadium.
>>726596850I don't think it's bad, I just think it's a worse Air Ride. At least in Air Ride I'm not constantly losing track of my machine
>>726596793>I genuinely don't get why they added top rideIt was my favorite mode in the original Air Ride. I even completed the checklist for it.
>>726596793Its a cute bit of variety when it appears in road trip but sakurai is huffing extreme copium for implementing matchmaking and ranked for it
>>726596793I don't want it as a mode in and of itself, but the top ride challenges every once in a while are fine.
>>726596793I kinda like it more than Air Ride...
>>726597074Honestly I think every challenge should have a mode. Where's my melee lobby.
>>726597189I think you can make stadium paddocks.
>>726597272Not the same, but that's nice, at least.
lol i had no idea that was how team relay worked sorry guys
Shoutout to whoever suggested turning the brightness down. Game looks much better. No idea how they thought the washed out default was okay
Holy fuck lmao I was glitched so my special lasted forever
>Team relay>First guy gets first>I get first>third guy falls off the map 3 times and comes in last>Last guy is entirely AFK with max steering assist and gets second
>>726596450
>Discover Relay races yesterday>Now people switch between city trial and relay
>>726597489now if only we could do a relay after a team city trial
>>726596803Joe getting sniped in the air instantly was disgusting.
>>726596450Haven't come up with an idea for a third yet
>>726597836I really dont think there exists a game that justified the $70 msrp. Companies are just taking profits rather than working harder
i know which of you do nothing but glide all gameevery damn game
>>726596920no needit's unlocked from the menu straight away
>>726597551It would be neat, but it could result in a blowout of insane proportions.
>>726597423I did four of them in the paddock last night and I was first to go every time. I got first each time as well but the first guys placement matters the least sadly.
>>726596734>3 attempts to give Kirby a love life>64 attempts to add extinct humanity to the lore>Forgotten Land attempts to add more extinct humanity to the loreMaybe Sakurai's dislikes are valid
Half the character's specials are next to useless in city trial
>>726598269Lots of them are useful if you get them right as a special event starts. They can kill bosses or break pillars
>>726598269Name one
>>726598269Kawasaki's special is a death sentence in closed spaces or just any event to shit out damage
>>726598572Mushroom penis man
>>726598224Forgotten Land has the best gameplay in the series and Mass Attack has the best minigames.
You didn't deserve that 100 as much as me I'll say it
The host is a lagging cuntUnplayable
What is up with matchmaking, why is half of every City Trial lobby bots on launch weekend
>>726598840The Chef always deserves the taste of victory.
Wheelie Bike and Rex Wheelie seem a lot better in this game compared to the first. Especially the former.
>>726596793It's good that it's there as an additional "Thing" but there's a reason they didn't bother porting over the gamecube stages.
>>726598979Yeah I always avoided wheelies except scooter
>Air Riders gets announced>show it to my friend>>nope don't like it>whenever we talk about games they keep saying it looks boring and that MKW is better>buy it for me anyway>friend sees me playing>>c-c-can I tryHaven't been able yo play it since yesterday in the afternoon, they really liked this game.
>>726598979They turn and drift way better.Wheelie bike on characters with good grip and speed is great. Noir Dedede works great with it, which makes sense.
>>726598932Everyone always whines for it, but this is the problem of giving games a bunch of different queues
>>726599309Ok but why are there seperate casual and ranked queues when ranks dont do anything
>>726599142>they
Show me where you get behind the lamp for the challenge
Anyone's got the code for the Kuromi darkstar? Just saw it in the last city trial
>>726597836The races are actually fun, Air Ride mode is great in this. Top Ride though? Meh
>>726599464Smash sweats’ effect on Sakurai
>relay >4 players onlywhat the fuck is wrong with you niggas
>>726599804Everyone else is in city trial, not like we can fill a huge race
>>726599719I fucking love top ride. hop in few laps take a break hop back in. weird how online seems to only have the default 4 no weird like 8 lap 10 player ones. maybe that's more paddock talk though. I kept running random to try and learn the line for different characters and rides. I still haven't gotten to sink my teeth into air ride besides free riding a level or two to look at some shit and try out new rides.
Formula Star is the worst machine in the game, by far lmao.
I haven't unlocked the undefeatable swerve star yet. That's why I'm losing.
Honestly a lot of the OG machines are bad and shouldn't have come back, the new ones are way better in evey way
MAKE THE CITY TRIAL 7 MINS
Is spectacting always this jerky?
>>726600325No it’s usually smooth, but you gotta remember we’re talking about nintendo’s online here
>>726600168I can't use any other machine after using it, tho I lose more than I win with it.
>>726600223>tank starUh huh, sure
>>726599516Yeah, her gender was not important to this story.
>>726600451>le nintendo online badwho do you think developed the game?
>>726600545I like the tank star.
Showing garage is so cute
>>726596450Just made this
>>726600660Who’s network do you think it’s running in?
I haven’t won all day other than like three times fuckers are too good and laggy
>>7266002605 minutes is fine.
you honestly get speed way too easily in this one, over a minute left and everyone moves like they're using battery items
>unlock Nebula Belt (Alt)>crank that way up in my musicOh yeah, now it's gaming time.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKj-hFadMqQ
>>726600765Your own, stupid. Nintendo doesn't have servers. Their infrastructure just facilitates matchmaking
I feel like a basic bitch but the Chariot Ride is fucking fantastic
>>726599537It’s referring to the ceiling lamp on the far right of the room. You have to get on top of the tv first, then jump from there to on top of the lamp. If you did it correctly, you should get the box after finishing any game or exiting the paddock.
>>726596450Made a li'l Helmaroc inspired wing star
>>726599719>no horns>bat wings>recolored galaxiaStill mad.
>>726601202>HelmaraocBased.
>>726600116I've won a lot of my online Air Ride games using the Formula Star, I like it because it's something that makes sense to me and it's very rewarding if you can learn how to get it accelerating just enough to take turns optimally, plus there are a fair number of straightaways you can take advantage of to really get moving fast and pull ahead.In City Trial, especially during the stat collection phase it's actually the worst vehicle you could possibly use.
>button rush on a souped up rexThat was pure suffering in multiple ways.
What'd be a good machine to try and make a Halberd theme for? The Jet star might work but there aint anywhere to put the mask. Formula Star maybe but I never fuckin use it.
>>726600918It is frankly not meant for 7 minutes but people won’t accept that
Your dadIm going to get you
>>726600223Stop drinking cum anon
I'm teams man myself
>>726601202As a Huge WWfag, bought.
Can Gigantes appear in teams mode? If so, how does the stadium go?
>spot a machine that fits my build>oh nice>go to claim it>it has somebody's fuckass pokemon paint job on itI don't deserve this kind of treatment.
>>726598932I legit think it's some weird decision or error with the matchmaking 'cause in retrospect I think I got bots in the global test ride tooInstead of matching me with, say, japanese players at a time where a lot of them are probably playing, it just gives up and summons the botsEven on Air Ride I've seen it multiple times get 5 people, then it summons a bot for the 6thGuess the best ray to play city trial right now is paddock, at least when it has CPUs it's honest about it
>>726596450marx theme.Gonna do more to it later but this works for now.Might also make him a Bull Tank considering he used it in the cutscene, and its a good City Trial pick.
>>726601280>>726601559I should have known the denizens of an Air Riders thread would have prime taste
>>726601202Thanks, bro.
>>726596450ENTER
>>726601661nice design, love the split colors and patterns
I'm so shit at this game lmao
I'm so sorry for getting my Paper Star shredded by lasers in the beam gauntlet ;_;What the fuck was that choice of arena.
>>726596450tried to make one that'd fit Taranza.
Question about lobbies. Is the stuff that you unlock for city trial, such as custom machines, songs, and the 2 new legendaries tied to whoever makes the city trial room?
>>726596450Easiest design I've done yet
>>726601973Why didn't you post the code
>>726601634I think some people are still playing offline to unlock stuff, I myself probably won't play online until I have the full roster
>>726602404not my picture, don't know what the code is
So did zero two became a digital being cause this says zero two and not some copy appended to the name or something like that.
>>726596450Buy my machine bros
>>726601661boughted
>>726602290Custom music might be. But I joined a friends lobby at midnight on launch day, and a guy on my friends list from the eastern hemisphere joined and we got Leo parts in the lobby, threw us for a loop
>>726602631Uoooohh
can you use another player controller to cheese challenges instead of a CPU
>>726596450Found this DynaBlade on the shoppe.
>see this really cool star dream chariot>poster provided no fucking IDLEARN TO ID YOUR SHIT
>>726602427That and the multiple queues are also a factor, but I do think the matchmaking parameters are too strictI also noticed from checking the licenses of the real people I match with (bots don't have them) they try to match me of people with similar rank/win power despite how non-serious they were advertised as, limiting things more
>>726602778That looks hideous anon, I’m glad you weren’t able to get it.
>>726602778What the hell, I want that too
>>726602876Shut up Haltmann
>>726596450I couldn’t fit the full text so I just spelt Kirby
EVERYONE EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UPwhat is the worst star and why is it the one you like
>>726603191Slick star is still barely usable sadly
>>726603320slick star has insane flight, really its much better than how it was
>>726603191I’ve become a rocket chad in this game. Don’t know what changed in me since the og to find it so appealing
How
I think every death in that was me...
Ranking up takes forever. Won four in a row in green and I’m just barely near the next level of this rank.
Post friend codes
Taranza very fun
>>726603669explain his uhh web thing. I have only played top ride btw. I imagine it's actually useful in air ride
>>726603669I’ve only used him once in City Trial, but I don’t get him
>>726603578Saw a rank blue guy in city trial and i was wondering how much playtime you'd have to invest after 3 days to get there.
>>726603703>>726603760If you hold his charge you drift like normal. But if you tap while his crosshair is on a surface he'll sling to it, giving him extra momentum in that direction for a second. You can use this to gain speed or hook yourself around in odd ways. Can catch people off guard in city trial by switching up your trajectory to whack them in a drive by.
>>726603191I really hate swerve/slick/tank's autistic zigzag drifting
>>726603191PAPER STA-
>>726603460Have all machines and be in NG+
>>726603191The regular chariot isn’t the worst but in city trial I don’t see the point. It’s like the training wheels star, good at the start but I wouldn’t ever use it for any arena besides maybe lasers.
How the fuck did I get that flaming dog???
>>726603952>that paper star marx dude that is just flying all the time
>>726603982I have that but not his alt color
Sakurai please end a drag race when there's only one place left. I don't want to be humiliated like that.
It's insane how much better this game is compared to MKW. Jesus...
>>726596450Rayquaza scooter lol
It feels good to get a minigame that perfectly matches your build and destroy it
How do you get gummis for the legendary machines?
>>726604260Oh. Idk it must be related to Super Hard difficulty.
Sakurai please don’t listen to slowpokes
>>726596450>soijak is my personality
>>726603805Some guy online reached rainbow.
>>726604256(me)
>>726604637I don't even know what the colors do
>>726603805>>726604637What comes after green? I'm almost there.
What are some character mains that people deserve to get made fun of for using?
>>726604767Anything other than Rick.
>>726596450my gamecube looks weird
>>726604767Marx players.Reminder that marx has no hp and its morally okay to kill him.
>>726602237Updated design or old one?
>>726604767Rocky.
>>726604767None because all Kirby characters are great.
>>726604767Rocky. He can't move for shit.>>726604835Marx is very scary if he gets enough buffs.
>>726604285This but Crossworlds
>>726596450.
is someone pissing?
Can someone explain the Starman unlock?I don't get what they mean by a 6 second drop after "only boosting once".
>>726603460Apparently, you havt to complete the entire Road Trip checklist to get it.
Who the fuck has the 4chan party van skin for the Wagon Star. I need that, posthaste
>>726603320Ive been winning races with it in ranked so i dont know what you are on about, although im probably racing 10 year olds mostly. It seems to be pretty fast
>>726604835of course fagolor would say this
>>726596803Literally how do you even counter this?
what does the weight stat do
Steel ball is overpowered
>>726605096 After going airborne, press and hold the Boost button to fast fall. If you don’t hit the ground or die for 6 seconds, you get the acheivement. If you pressed boost while airborne before attempting the fast fall it doesn’t count.
>>726605341Makes you fall faster in the air and harder to throw around when hit.
Worth it for a solo player and occasional co-op?
>>726605341It turns you into a fat little bitch.
>>726605341This is from the GC game but I assume it should be mostly the same.
>>726605438I'd say no. The game truly shines playing online with other people from all over.
>>726605341>Makes you fall faster>Makes you hit harder when ramming somebody when not spinning>Makes you slightly faster>Makes you have slightly more defense>Makes you come to a stop faster when skidding
>>726605446Damn the weight stat is fucking busted i shouldn't be snubbing it.
>>726604858>>726604892I picked Rocky in ranked City Trial as a joke after seeing this and won. Thanks bros.
What's the best rider for going for kills.
>>726601621you can turn off customization in the online city trial settings, before choosing what match type
>>726605593>nintendo>onlineI've been burned before.
>>726605727Kawasaki, Knuckle Joe, Dedede, and Rocky.
>>726605727Capn cKnuckle Joe
Lets do some air ride races
>>726601621I had to turn off customs because I was seeing absolute slop. Like literally just splashes of paint all over the machines.
Can you have the amiibos fight each other online, like with Smash amiibos cockfighting?
>>726605798How do you use your custom cars in city trial is it paddock only?
I thought it shares everybodys custom machines
>>726601513i was initially disappointed that online matchmaking is limited to 5 minutes, since in the first game me and my friends did 7 minutes 100% of the time, but yeah after playing this one i can't imagine how fucking insane it'd get with 7 minute timers.
>>726605727Anyone with a built in attack is kinda keyed for it. but Knuckle joe is tailor made to murder people. Also rocky's special is a shit ton of damage. but probably not what you are looking for.
GGs bros this game is seriously amazing.>>726605861Amiibos in the paddock is a future update.
>>726604718I don't actually know for sure but I'd assume it's ROYGBIVR
>>726605909They all show up. but its pretty much random if your custom or someone else's custom gets loaded in.
Is the paddock still active?
What's the best hat?
>>726605925Nice
I thought I had to beat road trip on ultra hard and I got hard stuck in stage ten before I learned I didm't nwed to play ultra hard and my routing made it literlaly impossible to get the true ending on my second playthrough
>>726605115I have 146/150 after brute forcing my way through super hard I'll have to check tomorrow. Wish this fucker turned better, he's fast and hits hard but driving anything besides the wheelie scooter or warp star is insanely annoying
>>726603191still formula. better than it was in air ride, but it was already godawful there so the bar is extremely low. it needs to accelerate about twice as fast to be viable, the rest of the tradeoffs are just so brutal
>>726604835>Magolor hating MarxHeh, Marx is king
I found the secret cave
>>726604343Beat them in city trial. I have 2 hydra gummies!
>>726606253yeah, if it looks empty when you joined it just means everyone is still in a match.
>purple kirby is stuck using burnaw...
>>726606432My Air Ride Checklist hinges on you telling me.
the game has so many sharp turns and in most situations with hopped up stats I can't take anything gracefully
(ignore the machine) how do i get rid of this stupid snow effect?
Post friend codes its my first bing bing console
>>726606672reported
Is Marx meta for City Trial? He seems like he has the highest overall ceiling assuming you're good enough to not get instagibbed every five seconds.
>>726606676for what purpose
>>726606616Kirby in general in this game just feels fucking awful, maybe ultra sword is good?
>>726606672Six million items bounced...
>>726606672wait i think its on the flight warp star regardles nvm
>>726606672>item bounce intensifies
>>726604705Nothing for Air Ride and Top Ride.In City Trial, they unlock more map changes and events.
>>726606784Crash kirby feels like the best in every situation in city trial, except maybe some stadiums. You can just nuke people instantly way faster than rockys.
should I buy a switch for this it really looks fun
>>726606943yeah
>>726606672Ever notice that whoever gets elected in the mushroom kingdom, dreamland always benefits?
>>726606943wait for the switch 2 lite with the kino dpad and hopefully oled screen because oled is the standard nowadays and if nintendo does a shitty cheap led again im going to fucking kyoani them
>>726606943It's a nice upgrade if you already have Switch games
>>726606716Nah I don't think so, a lot of events force you to fight people because they're in small areas.. I think Rick, Knuckle Joe, and maybe Dedede might be the best?
>>726606943Yeah. Tariffs could make switch 2 go up in price, and it’s gonna have stellar first party games for years
Add HIM Sakurai
Fuck, my switch died right when the race began. Sorry everyone
>>726607195.t blue kirby
>>726607195You're in 3rd, not too far behind.
>>726606784Haven't used much of pink Kirb to comment on sword.Crash is really good in City Trial like the other guy said. I've yet to find any use for snowball or burn. They seem shit in both modes to me.
>>726606943It's why I did and I don't regret it, I like donkey kong and mario kart world too
the cutest hat is locked behind top ride
How do you properly charge hydra for oval circuit? feels like i give them a huge lead if i go full or no fuel if i dont.
>>726607045really wanted to wait for an oled version of the switch 2 but fear this game will be dead by the time it arrives
>>726606716Lololo & Lalala, Rocky, Crash Kirby, and Knuckle Joe are the best for just killing people. Rick’s ult lets him win every short race and can make the comeback in the oval race, it’s so fast. I haven’t used Taranza but it’s very annoying when his ult hits me so I assume it’s good, plus his strings just let him win races more easily because they’re minor, but free, boosts. I use Daroach who has good base stats and a nice sub ability but his ult is pretty middle of the road. Makes him go faster, lets him steal items and is good in groups, but it’s not too special otherwise.
>>726605446High IQ play is gathering so many Down Weights that when the Bulk Star goes over a ramp it flies straight up and doesn't come down.
RICK I ALREADY FUCKED THAT UP WHY WOULD YOU GO THAT WAY
God help us the CPU is the one to finish it...
>>726603873you don't drift with those starsat least with swerve and slick you can do a lot by just mashing the brakes while holding the direction you wantbut i haven't dealt with tank too much so i don't know about that machine
>>726607567flight speed feels broken. I wouldn't expect a giant gas guzzling bulk star to speed in the air like a fighter jet
>>726607490Always go full, you’ll never have to charge it again going full and it’s like Bulk Star where it loses speed near lower charge.
>>726596450Made Phantom from Silksong.
>>726606784Normal Kirby is good. Yellow Kirby is a suicide bomber for those city trial minibosses
I’ve only done the first stage of road trip and I’m 25 hours in. Rest of the game is just too fun.
>>726607195We won
>>726607586A ricks gotta do what a ricks gotta do
>>726607723Road trip is a little bit of a slog.I procrastinating on doing true end and super hard even though I really want edgy dedede
>>726607539Thing with daroach is that his item-stealing ability isn’t exclusive to his ult, that’s just his gimmick in general. Being able to go invisible has its uses but otherwise that’s all to itDespite that he’s still pretty good, being able to steal items makes comebacks a lot more possible with him. If he had the same passive as magalor where he gets extra boost from star slides i’d reckon he’d be high-tier
Any open /v/addocks?
>>726607629Should i just steer and not hit the button again after going full? or would i lose too much speed?
>>726607816Yeah he steals with everything, he’s good for just harassing a certain player. You can steal copy abilities too which is great for Air Ride mode but still useful for City Trial though the auto attack will probably go off on something else half the time.
>>726607934Yeah you don’t need to hold the button down after charging it, just ride. Don’t even have to brake pump.
ooo im making a balrog machine
See i told you guys the slick star is good
I think Scarfy might legit be the worst character in the game. His stats are even worse than Cappy and his anger gimmick only gives him a small speed boost, nothing else like most people were speculating. Only semi-decent thing is his special, but other specials are similar or better. He has terrible HP and terrible Top Speed so he sucks in pretty much all the modes. Is he just a joke character you use when you're just trolling? Honestly.
Predict the DLC
>>726608285adleine
>>726608240I've won plenty of games with Scarfy but yeah he seems pretty underbaked. His special is the funniest in the game, at least.
>>726608285No DLC
>Beat Dynablade/Kracko/Grand Wheelie in Road trip>You're big now>I get deleted in one hitNani the fuck
>>726608285Splitscreen online mode
>>726608240Cappy at least has a passive shield in the shape of his cap. Scarfy has nothing.
>>726608240I think I agree with you, I've been using him too and he kinda sucks compared to everyone else I've tried
I played Susie some and she really is super fucking fat
>>726607195>wifi
>>726598224who cares about kirby lore?
>>726608119Alright thanks anon, i wont be shown up by a chariot again. I hope.
>>726606716He's good if you avoid fighting early
>>726608486I have a lan connection on my tv but I was playing it in bed
>>726596000>no Mega Starmie in that group photoSad. Or if its old art, it needs an update.
>>726607486which one? can't you buy them from the store?
>>726608348I got stuck there on super hard I think only Kracko is possible
>>726605171DeliveryI removed the green glow, it did not make this look good
>>726608693You should have made a square with a plus sign in it to align the leaves and then deleted it afterwards
>>726608693Incredible
>>726608285Event mode will introduce new but limited arenas for Stadium mode and 8-player original map City Trials
>>726605963I hope Sakurai does directs for the updates. I need my passionate autist kino
>>726608790I made this when I was screwing around at work but the next pass I do of it I will definitely take that into consideration, thx for the tip
>>726607815why even do super hard man save yourself the trouble
Rick has the most aggressive playstyle ult in the game wtf.
Does getting the normal ending on Super hard get you the congratulations screen?
Where can I get Missile? I don't think I've seen it outside of the tutorial.
>>726607815Just play it on casual. Fuck it. Enjoy true ending kino, get your unlocks and then start playing the game
You can customize the machines? Thats so cool.I can't believe the only game making me want a switch 2 is Kirby air riders.
>spend like an hour making a custom machine>forget to equip it
>>726602631This is really cool for /v/addocks but seems a bit awkward to keep non-private for public lobbies...
>>726609349>custom machines with a user marketplace>hats>colors>story mode>top ride>air ride>city trial>new legendary machines including one that turns a player into a giant battle fortress on wheels that everyone has to fightIt's good
>>726607815super hard is ass. I'm confident sakurai only put this in as a failsafe for people calling his game made for babies
>>726608661it's a pilot's cap and gogglesyou get it for getting a bunch of air time in top ride, only way to get it as far as I know
>>726609349I got it digital to always be able to pop in and out for online matches, but I might get the cart down the road when it goes on a decent sale. I love it that much and I never even played the original
>had 19 flight on Paper Star>did air glider>magalor on wing star went 600 yards ahead of meuhm…
>>726608208Agreed
>Nova! Hear my plea! I just want world peace!
>story depicts noir dedede as a threatening run destroyer>in missions he's just running away from you
>>726609850>crashes into popstar and splits it to pieces
>>726609267It's relegated to only spawning when you fall far behind in air ride. When you're dead last you have a chance of getting ufo, missile, or the enemy that gives full special.
>>726608285less of a prediction and more of a wishlist:free updates a la KSAnew city trial eventsremade OG top ride tracksnew charactersMAYBE new machinesnew aesthetics for licenses and machinesboxboy and part time ufo references>>726609687it's that top speed bro
>>726609850If everyone's dead then world's at peace, right?
>Unlock galactic nova as a courseFuck I love unlocks in vidya why did we move away from this as a society
An attempt was made, good night everyone.
>>726609919I think it’s that + magalor’s boost bonus.Also for air glide should I hold all the way back on the stick or just 30%
>>726609647Any pics? I can't find it online
Can anyone give me some advice for City Trial, like really basic stuff? I keep dying and getting the pity magnet+invuln and ending matches with maybe 60-70 powerups if I'm lucky. I just don't know what to do to not eat dirt all the time and it's cutting into my enjoyment of the game. I don't need to win but it sucks constantly feeling like I'm in last place too.
I based it on a poptart, making this a popstart if you will
I'm terrible at this game I get last place in almost everything
Damn, Rick is cheap as hell lmao
How do I find that gem enemy for daroach’s alt?
Balrog
>>726610140improve.
>>726610012On the one hand this game is the best racer on the Switch 2 and it's a shame it'll never get new tracks or anything.On the other hand I kind of miss when paying for a game meant you got the whole package and the playerbase wasn't split because of season pass DLC cancer. >>726610078Give me a minute and I'll try to get a screenshot.
>>726610142Its because my rick is slick
>>726610175Nice
>>726610175I love it
>>726610214nah u just special to first ez
>>726610078here ya go
>>726610195If you need proof that a game doesn't need dlc to be good, look at melee
one thing i wish this game did was a version of pic relatedsome kinda tuner shop that installs machine parts that increase stats at the cost of others or add buffs in exchange for shortcomings and so on
I kind of wanna join the paddock but it's at 16 people and I don't want to be that guy that joins and ruins the player count so not everyone can get into one city trial
>>726610784I just left, so have at it
holy fuck I NEED thathow do you unlock it?
>kirby bomb ult wipes out half the lobby fighting dyna bladetroll character
zero 2 was definitely the most pleasant surprise for me in the campaign. fun fight, good music, never would have expected him to be acknowledged either.
>>726610597>>726610856oops i fucked up
>>726610856>>726610926You need to fly a certain total amount of yards in top ride, I forget exactly how much but it's like 1200~.If you load up a track with a lot of ramps and keep doing it over and over you can grind it out pretty fast. I did it on Crystal with the jet star.
I don't get it, I've played tons of city trial and never ONCE have I managed to knock out a legendary part from another player no matter how much I hit them. Even if I play rick, with 10+ offensive stats and battle chariot.I really don't get how you're suppose to steal them.
>>726610090You play a meta character and machine or you don't play at all.
>>726607815the final stage is worth the slog once, >>726608348That stage is dogshit, Being large doesn't seem to increase your damage and fucks up your speed. Wheel is impossible.
>>726611161But I really like Scarfy...
>>726611187He's good in City Trial. Any character that explodes is.
>>726611301I can never control his special well enough to hit anything let alone explode on anybody, he goes way too fast.
What is the rationale for a sky island only being present at Skyah some of the time? Let me starman out there. I want my patches
>>726611473It's always there, it just changes places.
>>726610886I wish boss fights were longer than 2 minutes. They could do so much more with them.
>>726611587seriously? feels like 75% of the time I get up to the garden in the sky, look around and see absolutely nothing
I like Noir Dedede a lot. He's got a good stat spread and his special is pretty good.Also as much as it doesn't explain why he picked Dedede, I feel like its only because he was doing the "bad guy is doing it for good reasons" trope that Dedede is kinda famous for.
>>726611031I’ve done it a few times
>>726610090Ideally, it helps to have a gameplan before the game starts. Wanna focus on glide challenges? Pick characters like metaknight or starman and focus on getting glides and avoiding weights. Wanna do combat? Pick a character with high offense like dedede or Marx and focus on offense, defense, hp, and weight, avoiding glide due to it having defensive penalties. You get the gist. Importantly, at the start, you should avoid picking up gliding stars until you have better stats since they have a harder time opening boxes, and make you an open target for being blown up from a stray rick.
>beat the opponents so hard that my class drops down to base red valuesuh hope it’s a glitch
>>726602778It's M5P8DT71
Nice Rick sirs
>>726611031Meanwhile I had 2 Gigantes pieces earlier and lost them both on a random hit from somebody driving by.
I got a city trial up
Can someone tell me the easiest way to “complete an entire lap without dropping below 19 mph”?
>>726611901I just did this, you can use free roam, or whatever the mode is called that lets you do a course endlessly. I picked the first map on Transform star and just played really careful, you can maintain 19mph relatively easily as long as you don't go offroad and are careful with your charge drifts.
This might become a gag in the future.
>>726611901i did it with lololo & lalala on slick star on fantasy meadows, boost at the start and then you don't have to press any other buttons
>>726611901Free Run. Nebula Belt with Rick on Wheelie Scooter.
>>726611696If I was going to go full autist about it. Zorua is a Sakurai self insert, The entire ordeal of being torn apart to become a doomsday weapon is an analogy for nintendo and working on smash. Noir Dedede is a literal deviant art self insert because Dedede is his personal favorite character.
>>726611901Wheelie Scooter on floral
>>726596734>>Amazing MirrorCavernous Corners have the Golems from AM as one of the main set pieces, as does the Top Ride course. There's also a remix from it and Dark Meta Knight.Amazing Mirror is also the last game Sakurai had any involvement in prior to Air Riders.
>racing my own ghost>for some reason it passes me every single time on a rail segmentDoes boosting on rails actually make you go faster or what
>>726610784It's fine. Left over players can get a game or two of top/air ride since they're way shorter than the 7min city trials.
>>726612053very funny that both western and japanese fans are both joking about micro bikini kawasaki and NOVA being a gigantic fucking prick.
>>726611686I've run into that before. The camera doesn't offer a very good view of the sky, so you need to launch from the sky and check to make sure first.
Are there any achievements locked behind super hard mode for Road Trip?I really don't want to do that - hard was annoying enough at times.
>>726612385Honestly for all the gripes one could have about Nintendo's online system, the paddock is genuinely some of the best online lobby experience I've ever had in a nintendo game. I don't think I've seen any complaints about it minus like, maybe lag or something.
>>726612564No, totally optional
>>726612564prerequisite for unlocking queen ripple
>>726612129It’s “Zorah”, zorua’s the pokemon. I only bring this up because i’m imagining sakurai having a zorua fursona
>complete hydra>go around beating people up>beat up dragoon part holders>complete dragoon>get off it and get back on hydra>destroy dragoon and everyone trying to get itAlso where do I go to see city trial replays? Does it save the previous matches in a queue?
>>726612129>Dedede is his personal favorite character.Its more than that, sakurai literally voices him in smash too
>>726612628
>>726612790google it manI'd watch that shit
>>726612862Alright it does cache it. Was on the results screen waiting just in case. Will clip and upload soon.
>>726598269Lololo and Lalala's is amazing
>>726612053>"I wish I had a girlfriend!>">GIVE HER A PENIS">"FUCK YOU NOVA!"
>>726612129>Nova is a stand-in for nintendo>Nova forces sakurai to make something he doesn't want>The Riders are the players flocking to his next game>Noir Dedede is his desire for players to stop supporting the machine that allows smash bros projects to keep getting greenlit
Ok so all checklists for road trip does seem to be what unlocks the brown and purple Zorah Wonder if there's any other secret unlocks like that
The Nova air ride course is cinematic as fuck
>>726613491Yeah its really fun. I enjoy the new courses that are default 1 really long lap. Also so many new versions of the Marx theme abound in this game.
Ok I bought the switch 2 for this so it better be good
>>726613491The top ride version is funny cause it tries replicating the heart part.
>>726612337Amazing Mirror barely got shit.
Reminder 7 minutes is too long
>Machine market is almost entirely just "the thing I recognize" plastered onto the car
>>726613502AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE
>>726613692yes.
>Get wrecked by falling gordos >Hop off my vehicle because I don't want to lose a bunch of stats by dying>Go up to a vehicle>It flys away as soon as I walk towards it>This happens 3 separate times>I end up spending at least a minute and a half total walking around looking for a vehicleThat sucked. Usually vehicles try to find me when I hop off. Not sure why it didn't happen that time
>>726613692Figuring out how to make thing with a limited art toolset is fun.
>>726613614have fun anon
>>726612862>>726612790Thought I killed all three of them but I killed one guy and then chased the other down. Nobody got that dragoon though haha.
What determines the music that plays in online City Trial?
>>726613880I saw a Keroro star earlier, was that you?
>>726613880That's pretty good, keroro is based.
>>726596450whoever made this one is a real dick
>>726613692Every game with customization like this ends up being very referential.
Knowing sakurai cant give us DLC for this game because he immediately got sent back to smash hell is depressing.Unless we're getting Uprising next then i apologize.
>>726613917Via matchmaking it’s random. Via paddock it uses the hosts “my music” selection
did it all for you, team yellow
>>726614067>Via matchmaking it’s random.Oh, I was thinking it took a song from one of the participating player’s My Music.
>>726613947Nah, I just put dororo up. I tried doing giroro before but I couldn't get the mouth right and I didn't have a skull decal (idk if there even is one)
>>726613820kek
Team Relay puts too much pressure on me...
>>726614054Eh, maybe. remember that this apparently wasn't a sakurai dream project, Nintendo asked him to make it.
>gigantis player is nearly dead>the retards with no battle machines and no buffs keep throwing themselves at itI fucking hate the average IQ of modern gamers. Just fucking run away and let those with buffs fight it off niggers.
>>726596450You think this game might get it's own Miipedia for customized vehicles?
is there a vaddock
I'm sad we can't combine Dragoon and Hydra like Noir Dedede did.I want that autistic deviantart vehicle.
So the last vehicle i dont have yet i assume is the leo or lion whatever legendary from playing road trip best ending right?
>>726614595Yeah>>726595890
What’s the strategy for Air Glider? Do you just hold down?
road trip is like 3 stages too longso close to something that could be more endlessly replayable but not really there
What do the stars mean
>>726614993If there was a harder, shorter variant, where you start more empowered and every time you lose, you lost the machine, it would be great. As it is, it was fun for the two playthroughs on hard for the kino True end
>>726614993I could see myself replaying it to get completion marks for the entire cast.But I did the same for Star Allies so I might just be mentally ill.
>>726615087Number of rounds you've won during that session
Nice playing with you guys, you are too difficult to beat tho, have fun ^^
>>726615174That Rick is too powerful
How come sometimes when I pick up newly spawned machines in city trial I don't get my custom car design?
>>726615090the machines that spawn should be randomized, and it should be more clear which items send you to which routes. Maybe even the order of stages could be shuffled
I've been kicking ass effortlessly as Rick in City Trial online. What exactly makes him so overpowered? Why do I just burst into maximum speed even when not using my special lol
YRMMS4 Get in here bros
>join /v/addock>queuing up for air ride and not city trial>leaves
Oof sorry im not good at the actual racing
>>726615332Join my race
>won by 0.2 seconds
New 02 and Nightmare renditions are good. I love how real 02 is being unexplained. Is basically if you tried to take its old model and put it back together wrong.
Holy crap that last second overtake
It's impossible for gigantis to lose atm. Waaay too many fucking retards bashing their challenged skulls into a wall.
Team city trial next?
>>726615650You need a Hydra or Dragoon user to fell such powerful opponent. Some say Wagon Star 19+ All can stand a chance, too.
what lobby are you faggots in
I’m trying to complete the checklist objective of breaking one box of each type during an online City Trial run. I literally haven’t found a single green box once yet…
>>726608285THEREISNODLCYOU DUMB FUCKS
Has anyone seeb Dynablade offline in City Trial? Starting to wonder if something is actually wrong with my game
Fuck am i not supposed to hold down charge on the rails for these modes?
>>726615959Did you encounter her in Road Trip yet?
>>726616009no, you accelerate automatically on rails
>>726615959The only field boss I've ever seen spawn was Grand Wheelie, they're just a retardedly rare event because of how dense the happening pool is.Still don't have all the secret rooms visited either, much as I've been trying to so I can have Magolor's epilogue colors.
>>726616029I keep forgetting DynaBlade is a girl, yeah I am aware of the baby birds but dunno, she seems too manly
>>726616009Not necessary anymore. Floating vehicles don't have to break over floor interactables now.
>>726615726You don't. All you need is for the weak players to run in circles and bait the gigantis. The players with pvp buffs can handle it no problem.
>>726616029Road Trip doesn't account for checklists in other modes, you have to do it the normal way
CITY TRIAL PADDOKID: V6NGDC
>Leo is basically Sakurai showing up out of the blue and offering his aid
>>726616384Gooey is my favorite little aberration.
>>726616421I sorta interpreted it as the closest we see to Zorah's actual self. I mean he just shows up after all the air ride vehicles fuse with Gigantes and all.
>>726616551Looks nothing like him. Plus, he is still around after Zorah...ya know...LEAVES
>>726616593Oh true.I dunno then, lmao.
>>726616685Sakurai's birth month is tied to Leo ya know.
only now realized>Zorah is pronounced similarly to Sora (Sora Ltd.)>Noir Dedede is based off of Dedede, who Sakurai voicedWas it intentional?
>>726616949This is most likely going to be Sakurai's final kirby game. So, of course, he is gonna do shit like this.
Ohhhh I'M BOUTTA BUST BEAM GAUNTLET BROS
>>726616949In light of his "no DLC" comment, the ants scene does feel like a cry for help as Nintendo immediately drags him into the Smash mines.
>>726616949>>726617009>>726617096>Sakurai was born on August 3rd>In Astrology, that would make him a LeoNo fucking way.
>>726617148
>>726617148>The third legendary machine you can ride is Leo
Does My Music only affect City Trial?
>>7266163843/16City TrialCough cough...
>meta has already settled>everyone is using the same characters and machines in city trialFun didn't even last a week...
>>726616479
>>726608240I feel like Waddle Dee/Cappy/Scarfy were chosen to be in the game just to be the designated fodder CPUs in Road Trip
>>726617364Games are always the most fun when they first come out.
>>726617364Nigga we're all playing the game and can see you lying
>>726598269Susie's special is especially terrible. It barely seems to do anything - it actually seems to make her gliding ability worse - and it lasts too long that if you accidentally use it you will be without access to Copy Abilities or Items for a good while until its over.
>>726617406kneel to GOLD dee
What happened to all of the Susie blowjobs?
>>726617550Susies special makes her spin attack hit like a fucking dumpster truck, it gives you no extra lift tho.
>>726616593There are two Zorahs. Noir Dedede is the fragment of his will that wishes to be free, and Leo is the part that was controlled by Nova and later the player.
>>726617148>>726617247>August is the 8th month>the eighth memory is the one where Nova (Nintendo) makes ZE CALL to The Chosen Riders (Sora's Employees) to come awaken Gigantes (make the next Smash Bros)
>pick a character that isn't Rick>impossible to kill anyone in city trialHow come it feels like everyone got a billion HP?
>>726617595I've been doing road trip. Sorry
>>726616479Looking back, a co-op exclusive character being one of the space demons and this only being knowable if you read the manual must've inspired Kumazaki's take on crucial story elements being communicated via pause screens/Miiverse posts/figure descriptions.
>>726617624They literally merge back together at the end, dude.
>>726613820how did you turn replay data into something that can be sent over to your PC?
I pussied out and didn't go for the 100 again so we tied.
>>726617663I haven't seen a single one since global test ride
>>726617364Magalor is very good but anything can happen.
>>726617364I really don't know why you would just lie like this, we can just play the game and see this isn't true
>>726617694It's the small fragment that split apart from the core that returns to Zorah. That's also why Noir Dedede fades away when Gigantes is destroyed, but stays alive when Leo is formed.
I don't think Nova is evil, I think he is just retarded and is following his programming in a misaligned way
>>726618132But the violent swarm of terminator ants though.\Like holy hell
36 stats that round
>couldnt get didley dick for powerupsbluebros im sorry....
REDBROS REPORT TO THE COUCH FOR YOUR REWARD
>>726618013Nah. It looks nothing like him, it doesnt return to him. Its Sakurai just popping in to help. Accept it.
>>726617364i dont care who the fuck is the best im going to play as yellow kirby and im going to EXPLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHAT LOBBY DO I JOIN
>>726618132I am pretty sure granting a simple wish of "I want to move" by tearing the guy apart to rip his core out with murderous ant robots and rebuild him as a planet destroying death tank that shall activate against his will once someone of sufficient willpower tricked into reaching him, is something that overwhelmingly crosses the line from being misaligned into pure intensional malice
>>726618331It barely deals any damage
>Didn't bother with Mario Kart World>Enjoying CrossworldsWould I be wasting my time, getting this game for the races? I tried City Trial during the test rides and didn't really like it.
>>726618286Does that mean Leo is pic rel for Masahiro Sakurai?
HOW DO I WIN A TOURNEY RACE BY BEING FIRST FOR ALL CHECKPOINTSTHIS SHIT IS IMPOSSIBLEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>726618419EXPLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>726596450Why yes, Golden Wind is my favourite part
>>726618412Maybe it was trying to finish Marx's wish?
>>726611901nebula beltrickrex wheelie
I'm glad I wasn't in that hydra vs dragoon oval race!They both went in there, right?
Are all paddocks ded?
>>726618412"I wish to move and explore because I've been alone for an eternity and it sucks">yeah alright sure, here's a bunch of little go-karts"these don't exactly work for me, now it's more like everyone else can move except me? but that's cool thanks">hmm yeah you're right, let me take you apart in the most brutal and painful way I possibly can"Ouch, ouch ouch, this sucks, but at least I'll be put in a form that can move I guess, so wish granted, thank you!">okay, now you're a planet destroying superweapon and just straight up fucking massive, like, comically large."what">ALSO you still can't move (lol) but dont worry im gonna draw all the little guys on their gokarts here so when they do arrive you get to nuke the planet"this isn't even remotely close to what i wanted, in fact I'd argue this is the worst interpretation of my wish you could possibly make, far beyond any monkey-paw or something just straight up insane behavior">lol, lmfao
>>726618472I love all three games, they are both good for different reasons. For me, City Trial is personally the biggest draw here, it’s chaotic fun that you can’t get from the other two racers. When it comes to actual racing, the best is easily CrossWorlds. Mario Kart is fun because of the lengthy open world single player mode but these are just my opinions.
>>726618559There's a tourney race in the sunset mountain stage where you're just playing the grass stage with the goal as the checkpoint. All the riders start at the same spot.
>>726613880>Sgt. Frogbased.
>>726618559i did it in a top ride one although if i remember correctly it was really close for the first checkpointremember you can retry manually from the pause menu too
surprised nobody has tried to pick garage as a host option
>pass the baton to the next player without dropping in positionyou got this, Infallible.
>>726618286Leo symbolizes Sakurai's duties to Nintendo and his ultimate fate, and Noir Dedede symbolizes Sakurai's wishes for creative self-expression. As they are both manifestations of Sakurai, they are also both Zorah.
I know it was already said in this thread but team relay races are so good. It would be wild to do an 12 lap one if possible.
>>726618850This question has become something a meme in the past few years but without a shred of irony i'm asking outright:What the fuck is Nova's problem?

FUCK Rick players. KILL Rick players.
How do I change my logo?
>>726619313BASED.
Will playing as Rick get you banned?
>>726619313raped and gaped lmao
>>726619313It's not every day I see someone this based, good job.
>>726619276Nah, he's right. World is World and Air Rider(s) never had particularly good racing.
This registeel vampire star is nice.
Gourmet Race is my least favorite.
Team Red Supremacy.
>>726619556Yeah I grabbed it too. Vampire seems to have the coolest creations in general.
I carried.
>>726619442No but people like >>726619313 will PvP you on sight
Sleep crutched me.
>>726619524Crossworlds is ass. Courses are shit and the gimmick system is completely degenerate
You can call yourself a Chonker on your license…
What does sleep do? Is it a debuff to you?
>>726619828Just makes ya sleep.
>lost by .14s Sorry team A
Personally, I think that 7 minutes is a bit long for air ride...
>>726619828You go to sleep, can't steer, and you put other people to sleep by touching them
>>726612790>Also where do I go to see city trial replays? Does it save the previous matches in a queue?yes go to the replays and save it I gotta see this. fuck man this game is what videogames need to be more like.
Battle chariot is actually lame as fuck. You can play so braindead with it
I wonder if I beat the Dragoon
>>726620250aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee curse the ramps at the end of every traaack
>>726620250I got first place in my race
>>726620312It showed first on mine but your finish icon showed up on the left so I didn't know.
>Comm errorBRAVO nintendo
>>726619984The extra 2 minutes is enough for everyone to snowball way harder than a normal 5 minute game
>Game recommends target test>Utterly fucking fail at itI knew I should have gone with the race...
I picked up all the Hydra parts on the floating island but nothing happened.Was it because my teammate had the Dragoon already?
Anons, which lobby do I join?I wanna do Team Relay
>>726604415
