>new competitive mode is full of clanfagsImagine my shock. Are the titles even worth going for?
>>727585090Is it grind to win?
half of the time i hit someone it was the other sagebro... gomen.
>>727585234It's win to win.
>>727585234Grind points. More points = better title by the endSo its pretty much like the festival but solo.
>>727585090No its not, if you have a full time or even part time job, or school you wont get them.You're competing with turboautistic trannies on twitch who stream the game 24/7.
...we back?Okay. Fucking cloudflare. 17518424 3/4
I thought 4chan was fucking dead.
>>727585090It's just a title.No, not at all.
>>727585498it's a stroke of pure luck that the lobby lasted the entire cloudfare outage.
Lmao would've been funny if this place got hacked a SECOND time this year.
>Get some points>Get into a race>DC>Lose what I earned>repeatBros..
>was stuck racing against my faggot rival aloneGod I hate that cock sucker kinshin xiii
>>727585234It's like world match with fixed point requirements to earn a new title. +50 pts for silver, +100 pts for gold. But climbing up the ladder is much more difficult because you easily lose a lot of points for getting 5th or worse.
>locked the fuck in>connection with host lostFUCK OFF
30079037I'll be damned if I tap out now, legend 3 is right there.
Anyone else get disconnected?
Late ggs blaze team. Couldn't connect to site for whatever reason. Did it go down?
Guess we all did, GGs. Good luck out there.
It feels like SEGA knows their servers are dogshit otherwise I'd be taking a serious hit to my fair play points for every host disconnection. I'll give it one more go then either someone else takes over or its back to solo.34053412>>727586170>>727586179GGs and yeah, almost anything connected to cloudflare went down because of maintenance. Aren't you glad nearly everyone put their eggs in one basket?
Looks like the dark chao meta is starting to produce results. The problem is that keeping the little guy alive up until the third lap requires me to give up a lot of slots, but that last race was exactly what I was hoping would happen. No drills, no trucks, no lazers, just everyone limping across the finish line with gloves and spike balls. I must continue labbing this strategy.
>>727586449Good luck, anon. You could be making a pretty popular build.
>>727586449What's the drop rate on dark chao? Since launch I've pulled maybe 6
>>727586734I've only gotten him in special item capsules, even then I've only ever gotten him maybe two or three times.
Oh you're done done Jokerbro? GGs then.>keep getting matched up against this same silver surferFun...
>radical highway>final lap>fall off the cable and stick to the tower mid-air>12this there a worse feeling?

>>727585090i don't want this smoke
>>727587480going up against people who are legit a lower skill level than you will make you think otherwise.
Is acceleration still the worst stat?
>>727588291Acceleration vehicles and characters may as well commit sudoku.
>>727585090How the FUCK does this thing calculate points? I got 7th and earned 0pts, then the race right after I got 6th and lost 17pts!
Ive only just got the game 2 days ago and I'm a D rank rookie, can I play with you guys or is it full of literal master racers?
>>727590090You can always join our lobbies, don't worry about being new
>frontrunning>hit by point blank attack>5th>+5ptsthis is stupid
>>727589301You lose more points the higher the rank the racers above you are, and you gain less points the lower the rank the races below you are.Yes that's really how it works, no it does not work the other way around.
>first place>portal shows up>wait until weights show up and boost>still get hit>item box in 7th gives me a glove>-6 ptsThanks.
>>727587519Congrats Blazebro.
>>727585090I'm not even legend yet, I'm like A rank since I mostly played festivals
>>727591196My many thanks. Good to see you're still here with us.
Some of you are really complaining that losing makes you lose points? This system isn't strict enough if anything.
>>727592293It's in the legend comp where you loose points for 5th place
>>727592293The problem is that it makes no fucking sense. Sometimes I'll get 8 points in 9th place and sometimes I'll lose 11 points in 5th place.
All the worst people think AI Knuckles is the coolest thing now for some reason
>>727592884The so called free thinkers.
>>727588291>>727588614Haha, no. You guys probably just suck. I can regularly win in accel vehicles even against surfers (as long as there's not that many of them, fuck those guys).
+5 pts for third place... this is ridiculous given how easy it is to place 5-12th due to bad luck
>>727592884More like knuckles has the same boost stats as miku, but doesn't hide half of the screen, so all of the tryhards use him with the only unlockable skin.
>>727594252>platinum rank>emerald ranks behind>finish third in a group of silver surfers>+3 pointsGee, thanks
>>727594751Took them long enough to realise this and settle on the AI skin specifically
Was playing yesterday and noticed points seems to be based on 3 things.-Whenever there was a lot of bots in a lobby, like 6/12, even getting a 4th could make you lose a lot of points, since you're basically getting almost last position between the human players.-Whenever someone got an extreme lead (*ahem* fuck surfers) I usually would lose points even at 5th or get only 1 point coming at 3rd (could be there was some bots and I didn't notice)-as some anons say, it could be the fucking surfers ahead of everyone are legend 1 outside this event, and the game still takes that into account or something a fucks everyone else's point acquisition.All in all, this event sucks fucking balls and I hope Sega did this as a honeytrap or something to get the surfers out faster.Fuck surfers.
>>727594992Just surf bro
Oh that's fucking weird, when an asshole gets close to me, his fucking nigger green glove instantly annihilates me at close range, but when I do it, I can go fuck myself and nothing never hits, boy do I enjoy earning 2 or 3 points for a win and losing 13 when I'm 6th.
Reminder that the only reward for this ranked mode is a fucking title, so unless you have an absurd need to fill your ego it is 100% not worth the pain.Enjoy World Match while the clan autists are sucking eachother's dicks.
>>727594825I'm placed 810 with 1618pts lol. top 100 starts at roughly 1800 so these titles actually mean something
>>727585090But aren't we basically our own clan when we play with each other?
>>727595842we don:t speak the quiet part out loud
>hit 3 different assholes with a fire tornado>but actually no lol didn't count>then get hit by a stray green glove out of nowhere, enjoy your entire race being fucked nowThis is fucking unplayable
>>727595537>3rd place against emeralds>+6 pointsYeah I think I'm done...
>>727595842You don't join our lobbies I'd assume, anons almost always beat the shit out of each other.
>Squashed by truck after playing out of my mind>Ah surely this blue capsule next to me will give me the comeback I need>3 green gloves
>>727595938I just lost 1 in 6th because a boom boo got me in first place... really got lucky that wasn't -15
>8 bots in lobby>enjoy your 5 points for 2nd placeYeah okay I'm going to play something else.
>1628almost there.... x_x
>2 Bots in lobby>Get gloved in Urban Canyon right before the last jump so I fall through the gap>Last>-18
-15 because everyone in this lobby trucked me. jesus christ
Zavok is that you?
Are speed vehicles just worthless? The top speed bonus feels like fucking nothing compared to other vehicle classes.
>>727597454ya
>>727597509I'm doing ok in world matches running drift kit with air trick bounty and air trick adept in a speed vehic
>>727597509The problem with the speed stat is that max speed is capped anyways so it's pointless to try and minmax it.
>get the big shortcut at the end of ocean view lap 2>none of the opponent close to me takes it>get a big lead>drive as fast as possible>they still effortlessly catch up somehow because they're in a power vehicle and somehow, they're faster using ultimate charge even if they drift slower?This shit makes zero sense
Excuse me?I thought the minimum was 4 players
>first race today>surfer gets ahead of everyone 2nd lap>2nd, 3rd, and 4th close together>grab item capsule while in 2nd>saw>3rd and 4th draw trucks>end up 4th and lose 3 points because fuck youThanks, game, for reminding me this event is almost impossible for people not surfing. Just woke up and forgot last night was the same shit.
>>727598112Enjoy winning 5 points if you're first and losing 15 if you're 2nd!
>>727585090Just got Emerald, it wasn't so bad. Just have to drive well.
>>727598356I got 19 points
WHY ARE THE POINT TOTALS SO RANDOM? NO SERIOUSLY SEGA HOW THE FUCK DOES IT WORK?
>>727598363Doesn't count if you play silver surfer
>>727597509They're like power vehicles except they don't slow down when drifting. But power types Also have a higher cap from stacking bonuses like slipstream and ring boost. They're called speed but it's more like the all-rounder since it has build flexibility and doesn't have a major drawback.
So is the new queue super sonic speed?
>>727598876lol, lmao even
>>727599025
>>727598363>Just have to drive well.Told like a real silver surfer.
>people are now countering the dark chao last lap meta by popping their own on the first lap3 Chaos at once I think I've definitely annoyed some people.
>fail mh shortcut due to lack of speedwell... that can happen
>>727598363gj. my goal for today is to get into gold grade somehow
>>727598650>>727599114I play Slipstream but the amount of salt you crybabies are vomiting is very telling. You don't have to play it if you don't want to.
>>727599424I was joking lol
Somebody please explain to me why POWER type vehicles can get pushed around by tiny little hoverboards.This game desperately needs a weight stat.
>12 because the museum press hit me byca pixel>-19????
>>727599625>Was knocked off carnival by a fucking Cream on a hoverboard.Yeah shit's wacked.
>try to tornado the guy in 1st>somehow hit don't register at all even though i'm standing right in his ass for the whole duration>my tornado expire and he activate his>i get fucked up instantly
Just got to Gemerald in 3 hours, only 2 point losses.Yes, I surf, so I didn't really beat the game.
>>727600412Now go and tell your mom so she can give you some candy as reward
>>727599154Anon you troublemaker.
Important Pollhttps://poal.me/qbiua6Please voteThanks :)
>3 1up fags in the same lobby>for some VERY STRANGE reason, they completely ignore each other as they breeze through victory in their faggot power carsOh that's awesome, really nice mode you got there sega
>>727600924>in their faggot power carsUMM.... BROS?????
>>727600806
>>727600979Yes, since they team up with each other, they can abuse the increased slipstream speed from those vehicles.
>>727600924>>727600979So the surfers now want to throw shit at power cars so people start hating them. Cool.
>>727600806Its not perfect but I much prefer it to a bagging meta which would need to be nerfed alongside it. I don't trust Sega to not screw up balance, if this is what we have from now on I'm fine with it.
>>727600924The worst part about this is that this is an unnerfable strat.One way or another they will keep queueing into eachother and dodging shit lobbies and then act like mutual bodyguards against whoever dares approach them.
>>727601089I'll throw shit at the literal cheaters teaming up in their faggot discord just to get easy wins
>>727600924So they WERE watching me after all.
Will you hate Quick Recovery Slipstream if it becomes the new meta? Looking for honest responses so I can compare it to public sentiment after it happens.
>>727601286Slipstream will never be meta because its a 2nd and below strategy
>>727601286I hate all meta the game should just be about what I like.
>>727601286That's me, so no.
>>727601373If Slipstream becomes popular, anyone not using Slipstream will fall behind because you won't have enough speed to keep up with them using Ring Boost. You know, like what happens now.
>>727601286I tried it and didn't think it was very powerful. Went back to my standard kit because it threw me back down to 1550
Game, I just won a race. Why are you putting me against people who only have like 50 rank points?
>>727601286It's definitely a healthier strat compared to silver surfing.You can interact with them and make them lose rings and items or hit them in the middle of jumps/shortcuts.I think speed cars should've been the ones to get higher slipstream cap instead and have power cars be just unmovable powerhouses.
>>727600806Both
>>727601181At this point I just alt F4 to lobby dodge these assholes, you don't lose anything by doing so, they can play with each other against bots if they like it so much.
>>still B rankIt’s so fucking over
Always funny when the game gives one bot enough drugs to keep up with everyone, and sometimes even beat them.
>>727602047I'm stuck in silver grade. It's triple over for me
Kind of funny because I fucked around with "silver surfing" during the network test, and I didn't mind it, but the general consensus here was that it was too situational and wasn't worth the lines you have to take to get the level 4 charge.Now it's THE fucking kit. I just do level 1/2 charge and air trick expert/ring gain so I don't look like a metafag.
Idk why the devs didn't to this with the hidden stats instead of what we have now.>Speed car: higher slipstream speed cap (currently has NO special hidden stats)>Accel car: quick recovery (accel cars currently have Maximum Traction LMAO)>Handling car: it's fine as it is atm (higher drift speed and boost speed)>Power car: MAKE IT ACTUALLY PUSH THE FUCK OUT OF WEAKER CARS (currently has higher slipstream speed cap)>EG: Fine as it is atm with its faster boost charge rate (silver surfing is the only problematic strat that spawned from it).Thoughts? Changes?
>>727603017Always wondered what the fuck is maximum traction. Is it just not sliding on ice or sand? Because I drive accel vehicles and I know those can still slide.
>>727603242>Mostly negates the effects of reduced traction when on Sand and IceYeah, it's shit. If you use tech drift it's extra useless, unnoticeable.
>dogshit at silver surfing>bagging is for niggers>tank build still can't keep upwhat do
>>727603321Must be bugged or something then. I slide all the time on ice and sand anyway. Good to know my favorite vehicle type is even shittier than expected.
>>727603017Accel having built-in quick recovery sounds really tempting. It feels lackluster currently compared to everything.
>>727603546Practise
>and yet again another king boo that fucks me over just at the jump of ocean view>-19 pointsYou can't tell me this shit isn't targeted solely to fuck me over
>>727603572If you wanna check it's all there.Forgot to mention handling gets no slowdown for turning at all as well which is neat for the car type.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1awP9lb_yn6BlwpiqZf7eAFyapn_Cuai4r7yMJ1Sngpo/edit?tab=t.0https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_B2mHZUP6J6jeZfcwbM2HkLvjkwMYuACE4l6Ktt-UkI/htmlview
>>727603612They currently have nothing going for them. Accel stat is completely bugged and worthless, it's not strong enough to make a difference at high numbers and accel cars have the worst boost stat in the game.Coolest car designs tho.
>>727603017If accel had built in QR then I'd use it with ring gain maxxing and get to look cool doing it.
Definitely have those desync and or bot issues in the new comp mode. 1 race I was being squished by 2 racers very clearly in the middle but 3rd and somehow got 1st for that. Then another race, some egg pawn was very far ahead of me and apparently I got 1st and he was in like 9th place. I don't think people can even be a lap behind like that?
>silver surfers
This shit is cancer, not touching this game mode again until round 2
>>727605458What do you even get?
>>727605570A cool title!!!
>>727605570Yep that's it, a cool title, maybe a top 100 title if there's enough masochists to do this shit without getting crazy. >>727605647
>>727605647>>727605737Wow, fuck that.
>>727605647That I'm probably never going to use if/when my favorite characters/franchise get a tittle. Yaaaay.These competitions can keep coming to keep autists in containment and out of WM.
>>727603546>tank build still can't keep upPractice some more, it can keep up if you drive well.
>>727603546
>already seeing people just alt+F4 out of comp lobbies with 6+ bots
>>727607394As long as you're close to first you won't lose that many points, it feels like it's distance based more than placement. Probably made it up but it feels that way to me.
>fighting some guy for number 1>"oh boy a blue item box, let's freaking go">100 rings
>>727600806I use a variant build myself, so I guess I "like" it, but I don't like having one playstyle be so common and unstoppable for everything else, and 3 seconds is just too much.I suggest that it should be nerfed to 2 or 1.5 seconds, cause that's still enough to use in response to upcoming threats while not being as overwhelmingly safe as it is now.
Power fucker just boost rammed into me and it was like i got hit with a glove.My speed dropped to 80. Is there some secret power machines thing i am not aware of?
Anybody else having a bug where your character says their voiceline twice after doing a starting boost? (Like Silver saying Wahoo when getting it right, the randomly saying wahoo again a second later)I don't know if this is just a 1.2 bug or if one of my mods is fucking up. Also speaking of bugs SEGA still hasn't fixed the Sonic Adventure decal being missing.
>>727601747This. I mained Power cars from the start so I'm happy that it's strong, but I also want to play Speed cars sometimes, and it feels pointless cause Power has so many advantages.
Finally. It does feels refreshing not having that many surfers in world match right now. I really like the next aura too so I'll try to rank up fast for that one. Then it will be a long way to get the shooting stars one...
>>727608246My Shadow does it too now. He's also noticeably more talkative than on the previous version.
You beat us all by a country mile, i report you for abnormal speed.Sorry, not sorry?
>>727608862common shitter complaint
>>727602391>>727602047Realistically how doable is it to get to legendary before the event ends?
>>727608985Enjoy your ban.
>get second>leaderboard says I got second>character says I got second>enter queue again>crownUhhhhhhhhhh...........
So do I rank up world match or legends comp...
>>727609239If you are good enough to get Emerald, get Emerald then do World Match. If you are shit and hate fighting Silver Surfer, just stay in World Match. If you were a Top 100-level player you wouldn't be asking this question.
>>727609239World match: cool as fuck auras, permanent leaderboard, chill gamesLegends comp: a fucking title, cancer players, clans queue sniping eachother to team up, dogshit gainsMaybe you enjoy the hard mode grind I'm not gonna judge you.
>lobby full of surfers in world matchAaaaand they're back. Guess they didn't had that much fun going against their fellow autists.
>>727609561Did you really think they'd go away? The only people that have a reason to keep playing after Emerald are aiming for Top 100 and are already Legend 1.
>>727609742But I thought they were surfing cause it was SOOO MUCH FUN going head to head with other surfers. Skills and all that shit.Why go back to world match when all the fun is in the other mode?Hypocrites all of them. They just like having easy wins.
I'm getting much easier matches in League now that all the clanfags are asleep. People are awake, but no one that's teaming up.
>>727609996
>Legend Competition>Donpa, Blizzard, Bikini Bottom>Bikini Bottom wins
>>727609561LC matchmaking is poorly implemented. Even when there are clearly more than enough people to fill a 12 person lobby, it will put you with WM-tier bots that aren't counted towards point calculations, but still influence the race via items and item odds.In a race with 4-6 human racers, if you get hit ONCE, even if it's from a bot right after the first set of items on lap 1, you're fucked forever and might as well just kill yourself since the bots' presence far in the back will prevent you from rolling anything to catch up and being behind all the humans means an automatic -15 to -30.Comp/clanfags will probably go back to their discord custom lobbies.
Please tell me I'm not the only retard who sometimes forgets which track I was originally racing while in a crossworld.
>>727610830Happens every now and then to me lol
>>727610830Sometimes I forget I'm in a crossworld and get confused when there wasn't a choice for the next lap.
>>727610823>Comp/clanfags will probably go back to their discord custom lobbies.They'll go back to raping and gaping me in WM for starting in the same row as them.
When's the patch that disables monster truck in online play
>>727610830You really don't want to know how bad my memory is. I hit myself on the head a couple of times in my life and am terminally afraid I might end up developing dementia as early as my 40s
i hate monster trucks i hate monster trucks i hate monster trucks i hate monster trucks i hate monster trucks i hate monster trucks i hate monster trucks
>>727610830It's rarer for me to remember the track.
>3rd place>literally 0.2 seconds behind 2nd and 1st, real nailbiter>+4 scoreok. break time.
>>727601286I'd dislike it if it had room for more ring boost. As it stands, it's hard to slow down but can't hold a lead for long. The current version is benign and makes the item shitshow tolerable.If for whatever reason everyone switched to QR slipstream, it'd be kind of gay having 2nd place consistently favored to win in the final stretch, and the consistency benefits for placing go out the window. You'd need frontrunning and bagging builds to both die completely for that to happen though.
I'm checking builds each match and I just got my first ever 12/12 Silver Surfers lobby. Four of them are clanfags, three others are shilling their channels. Should be fun :^)
>>727615487World Match, I presume?
>>727615826no lol. p.s. I got 4th
She's in, by the way.
>>727617170i'm in your house
>>727617452Please be Surge.
Any anon have to mod that gives AI racers their regular voice without a filter? Gamebana only has the "cyberized" one and the normal one exists but is locked to a discord.
>play Knuckles because I've always been a Knucklesfag>metafags have claimed himIs this what it feels like to be a hipster who won't shut up about having liked a band before it became popular?
>>727617992Stop racing about what other people do.
I just started playing. Why are half of my lobbies bots? Also, general recommended car/char setups?
Yeah this legend competition shit is not healthy.Ignoring the meta problem the point gain system is absolutely abyssmal. If you're the highest score player you get fucked by the gains when everyone is equally skilled, and if there's fucking CLANKERS the gains get even worse.1 mistake = -20 points
>>727618235>carboost/power are most popular, accel's the only stinker>charthe ones you like
>>727618235If you're E-C rank they give you more bots before you match with actual players

Amazing things happen when you aren't ragequeuing at 3 am.
>>727618235Because you just started playing.Pity bot lobbies stop after you get two rank ups.
>>727619486Which vehicle? I want to try this later.

>>727623586I had about 2-3 hours of rooms loaded with people using double down + item hoarder giving me that exact experience. Climbed to emerald smoothly after they fucked off but man it's grim when even QR slipstream doesn't save you from getting dragged to 12th.
I can't help but think there were plans to have special online rulesets for events.

>>727621826I wanted to try the accel kit with accel car but combined it increases your accel stat a fuckton while nerfing boost to near 0. I'm too much of a drift boost spamming autist to drive that.
>>727626294Isn't accel kit just a weaker quick recovery on other vehicles?
>>727626424Probably, I don't know all the super meta stuff. I just prefer speed and power cars over the rest.

Eeeh..I guess I will just go on my Switch acc and continue lapring as a bot. The world match is so chill now, and I still haven't completed my gadget plate
>Checking Leaderboard>Only 1 guy is running non Surf build (Air trick bounty, slipstream bounty, dash bounty and 2 gadgets for ring boost)>Everything else is Surfer build>Most of them are from EU>1 anon is in the leaderboardOk, I really thought the NA region is autistic with Sonic and Kart racing.
>>727610830I have 130 hours in the game and I still instinctively boost to try to avoid the slicer.
>>727633029I see one bagger and three ring boost slipstreams. Unfortunately the point distribution pushes you toward surfing after a point. QR slipstream's a comfy path to gold, but at platinum up a consistent 2nd-6th no longer climbs as well as semi-reliable 1st.
You can still play the later rounds of the legends mode if you skip this one, right?Not too thrilled to play what's basically sounding like just a worst World Match, but there might be different rulesets for the later ones which would make it more worth checking out
>>727634612Just FYI future Legend Comps are going to be harder, because all the casuals will be gone, leaving only the giga sweats. If you are aiming for something in particular, you should do it now or don't bother at all.
>>727634612The other ones most probably will be the same shit, but the titles will say "round 2".I appreciate those being just titles, so I'm able to skip all that shit. The thing is virtually impossible without whoring you out and joining the dark side, so no thanks, I have my dignity.
>>727628083Maybe a mix-up with "Ice Factory" from Riders
>>727635132I don't care about titles or anything. I just want to play with different rule sets, assuming they'll be different, cause the game u.i is going out of it's way to state "normal rules" for this one.I haven't heard that this first round is necessary to participate in later ones so my question was pointlessly paranoid really.
>>727633029LC matchmaking appears to be region-locked but I can't say for sure
>>727620710>cream the comp>thought i would be seeing me there>almost no cream in the videoWell done, anon. You baited me into giving you a watch.
>>727635326My guess is they'll restrict (or force?) gadgets each round. I'd be very surprised if round 2 doesn't have UC (or drift gadgets entirely) locked out for the devs to see what the meta turns into without that.
damn somebody's already at the new 999999 cap! that's determination
>>727636314That's physically impossible, isn't it?. Are cheaters that dumb or what?
>>727636314>whoa look at my big capped number If he isn't #1 on every TT track I don't give two shits. Consistency matters when trying to prove you're the best.
>hit with a slicer at least 4 times in a matchI am SEETHING holy
>>7276364905 minutes of fame is valuable these days
>>727636314100% cheated if true, what a retard, Sega are going to take that fucker out back
>>727636958It's not a huge deterrent. You have games with client-side anti-cheat that also forbid library sharing on Steam. If they act on this guy his one time purchase is effectively 6 copies in a family share. Not like he lost anything since he cheats.

Monster truck being faster for everyone but (You) is getting tiring.
>>727645747if they ever jump off any flat water there will always be a period of vulnerability before they can jump/UC again but you'll have to learn the timingit's skewed further against them if they jump on downward water sections (Eggman Expo) or water sections with waves (Holoska, Kraken Bay)
>>727645660He's the who usually takes a half-lap lead to finish but it looks like he paid attention to the warning and at least stayed on our continent.

Might be the first time ever I actually felt a high speed stat mattered-and D/C AGAIN. Was it the lobby this time instead of me at least?

:(
FUCK YOU FAKE SONIC, THAT WAS MY WIN
I flew off the top of the bridge twice this race and didn't get respawned for going too high. Did they change that?
>>727621121Silver Surfer is to CrossWorlds as throw loops are to Street Fighter 6.
Cucked again, the Metal Jobnik experience!>>727650126Nope, I got out of bounds for going to high that very race. Maybe you barely scraped under the death zone?
>>727650165Or heat to Tekken 8
>>727649638You should've waited until Pacshit comes out.
Handling machine kit confirmed for shit.
>>727650716It's just ult charge
Man, even if silver surfers do have weak spots, it's so hard to even get close enough to exploit them, cause the pack naturally protects the frontrunner with bucket-crabbing gloves/saws
>>727650780this is why I bag a shield if I'm surfing in case something escapes containment while I'm charging
>>727650753Very slowly. I only got 1 off that whole race.
OmoCHADO continues to be the best item

After about 20 races I finally got a W on the new mode, I'm sticking with the slopstreamer build out of a weird sense of shame I would get if I use Silver Slurper, I also got to Gold after this win.

New lobby code 52216342

How exactly does the power stat work, I never paid attention to ring loss on collision. Is it only the player with the lower stat that loses rings, or is it both lose rings unless one has a significantly higher stat?
Host lost, other 2 anons thrown in random spots, Metal fused with Knuckles.Funny glitch
>>727651751And full lobby. Good time to call it anyways. GG's!

>>727652241Good morning, anon. That's the known feature, just make sure no one steals your rings
>>727652241It's really cool until two rings are spaced out just enough for you to lose all your speed
>>727652108Depends on your current position and situation. A non-answer I know, but I personally look at whether I already have a boost item or not, and if getting rid of my current item will likely get me one.If you're in first by a decent bit already then it's not worth risking. 2nd-3rd, maybe depends on if that track has a big enough wisp shortcut? Any lower and I'm just gonna gamble it
>>727652241Old news. I've been missing the rings he drops lately for some reason though
Sorry about that tornado...
>>727652041Such honeyed words, as I try to pull away from the game...I can just catch up on sleep later, haha!
Got that wait early in lap 2 and held it as long as I could when I saw you all were leading.
If not for that weight, I think that would've been my first Wonder Museum factory win online in 200 hours of this game. With my history in that track 2nd is more than acceptable

>>727642307seems useless but not as useless as the coconut mall """shortcut""" which intentionally loses you places
>drilled to death all gameDamn.
>hear slicer alarm>use tornado >alarm keeps going>tornado ends>get sliced
>>727653530It's good. That one is a real shortcut.
>>727653317All you need is a boost wisp and preferably to start drifting rightward before the jump to turn into the portal smoother
>>727653595it has to latch on before it does anything. no reason to pop early.
I swear that storm got a ninja star like 4 times in a row
>try to offroad with omochao>the little fucker starts throwing rings at random places>slow down and lose a lot of positionsThanks motherfucker.
>>727653614You weren't kidding I said fk it time to see how the shortcut looks, took the path with no wisp. It slowed me down and fell off the map. Got like 7th place and dropped from gold rank when I had just reached it
>>727651697Only the lower power stat loses rings. If both players have the same power stat, they both lose one ring. Most rings you can lose from collision is 2 and I have no idea where the cutoff for it is. Doesn't matter who initiates, a 49 power car driving full speed into an immobile 50 power will lose a ring without doing anything to the 50.
>start throwing punches at random>hit all of my teammates
>>727653654I know... Just not used to it taking so long to get to me.
Very violent match, as it should be!>>727653938Yeah, that dirt and those rubber things will fuck you without a wisp boost. Even omochao can't do that one cause of the rubber things.
>>727654106Sometimes I just assume it's desync when we're all leading and one of you just shoots the other for it reason
Great job, Wave.
>>727654246I do try to hit anyone in my way. Usually because I can't be bothered to pay attention to names in the middle of all the action. Sometimes I do have mercy, but that's really rare.
>>727654449I've thrown races due to hesitation because I was worried about hitting a teammate.
>>727654449If it's mid-race and an anon's my only target I'm sometimes nice, but that all goes out the window on the last half of lap 3.And really, I don't tend to be too aggressive to any player before that point, unless they pissed me off somehow, cause attack items are often better spent protecting from gloves/saws.>>727654643I get it, but that's a mistake. The blood of your friends will push you to the top!
>>727654693>The blood of your friends will push you to the top!This.

>>727655608>gloveT-thanks.
>>727654185Theoretically surfers can Omochao it by holding a Lv4 into the jump before it, but even with 100 rings it's tight as hell to knock the poles down before the shield's gone.Item boxes aren't cooperating to test, but I got to see whatever the fuck this was as a consolation prize.
>>727655781>all that>720
>>727655553It's not about the destination, it's about the friends you make on your journey.
>>727655414That's harsher than legend 3. I just took 10th and only went down 11 points.
>>727655781Ah, I suppose you can buy enough time by holding the charge as long as you can in the preceding jump to the shortcut. Wait invincibility works even on the rubbers?
Th-the Metal Jobnik experience! Haha!
Great. Surfer's paradise...
>>727655781I'm retarded and forgot custom matches let me curate the item pool. It works.>>727655970Only things it doesn't protect against are being pushed around and falling off the course.

Has anyone gotten the invisible squadmate bug since the update? I keep expecting it but things have been pretty stable.
>>727656608makes sense, but that's messed up.

>>727657435GGs, anon.
>almost lost to the troonphew. Metal would've jobbed there
Is Counter Drift bugged? I do the snap turn and I hear the chime and everything but sometimes but sometimes the guage doesn't charge all the way.
I don't like "bagging", but if you sent me to hell having been leading for almost all race, expect me using the tools given to me at time.
>>727657970I don't think it's a literal instant charge, but it just makes it really really fast, so you can still let go too early
>>727657435GGs Metal. Lobby is now 3/4. >>727652286
>>727657970It's something like +500% charge speed for a brief window after the first counter drift. If you do another counter drift you'll still lose charge, and if you do it before reaching a new level you'll waste most of the benefit.
>>727658075That was the Wave there, I just switched to the rabbit so I can win more.
>quickly go to the bathroom>return when track's already selectedSorry for not giving thumbs, guys.
>>727658336Oh sorry... Shadow has a memory problem, you see.
Every final stretch on the final lap is still hell on earth, guess that's never going to change.....
>run over ttv with a truck>he gets run over again immediately after>hit him with a glove soon after that some things are more satisfying than winning
>>727658680Nah, they don't mean anything. I just kinda do it to push buttons while waiting.Eyelids getting heavy. Don't wanna end on big loss. One of these will be my last race
Man I can't keep the muscle memory for the coral town jump to save my life. I'd have had that one for sure if I got it.O-one more...!
>>727659161I don't even know what shortcut is that. Never tried looking it up. Don't really care since far right works for me.
Why is Bikini Bottom chosen every time it's in the pool.
>>727659390Poor people need to choose it to play it.
Carrying that laser and drill since lap 1. You don't know how hard it is to keep evading saws.
>>727659220If you go right, then left, you reach this area where you can make a precise left jump past that pillar and cut about as much as the metal harbor jump. Unlike that one though, this one punishes you HARD for failing it.Also ignore my guide arrow, it sucks, and I clearly can't be trusted to accurately explain it
Keep forgetting to quit. This is last race for real, GGs!
>>727659654Yeah, I'm not really that good at taking extreme shortcuts so I won't be doing that one anyway. Like I said, if I take the right way all the way I can get to the boost pads almost at the same time as everyone else.

Any lobby with a spot?
>lobby explodedGuess the whole lobby exploded, right?
>>727660387yup
>>727660387Yea, one(or both) of the Sage's couldn't see me and didn't back out in time to rejoin so it exploded. Just as an fyi if everyone is readied on your screen, you see an open spot, the lobby doesn't start, and you have the option to back out, that means you need to back out and rejoin the lobby. It's very epic.
>>727660507Adding to this: if everyone is ready but it doesn't go to matchmaking, it often doesn't let the host back out and the only option is to kill the software (which is what happened this time).
>>727617170damn straight
Soooo....no lobby?
>>727660453>>727660507>>727660642Then I'll take this chance to go sleep.GGs Shadowbro, Sagebro. Hope we can play together again tomorrow.
>>727659654Showing's easier than explaining. Hug the right side during the curve, hard left when the curve ends and spam right air tricks. Respawn point is back on the curve if you fall off the track. If your turn isn't sharp enough you can get stuck bouncing around on top of the stone archway or in a wall, enjoy your new home in 12th at that point.
>>727660672Give me a few minutes to eat and I'll make another.

90859818
Anyone with both a Switch and Switch 2 can confirm if you can lend the virtual card to Switch and still be able to play on Switch 2?
>>727661967Power characters are the best surfers. Knuckles provides the best visibility and second best power of the 16 boost options.Vector should technically be best, but can't see shit with Vector on an EG.
>>727662859you made me suddenly realize how cool an fov slider would be...
>>727662039Speed vipers... Is that really what it is..? lmao
>>727662859Can't wait for the "IDW sucks, Whisper sucks" crowd to shamefully start using only Whisper for her bigger boost stat. No dignity.I will use her and Tangle because I love them so much.Fuck nigger surfers.
>>727663106Yep.
>>727662505I only have physical, sorry. For digital games it should let you, but there might be an online check each time for the device the virtual card's not loaded to.
>>727663139I'm using Tangle because I really want to fuck her badly. God damn she's sexy as fuck.
>>727663184Sad. I was looking forward to lend the game to another family member so they could play on their own without having to get the game again or play splitscreen.
>>727663178this is so unspeakably lame
>>727663452>I'm using Tangle because I really want to fuck her badly.Based, they're going to be my second- and third-most used for that reason and because I want SEGA to see the comic girls are well received. Then they can add more.

So the legendary mode is just the exact same game but with a horizontal progression bar instead of a vertical one? And instead of occasionally A rank players you get more bots?
>>727664148and you can either get 0 points or lose points if there are enough bots to deflate your position
>>727664148the bot plague arguably makes it worse than WM
