Got Emerald two nights ago. It was a fucking journey to get. Made it to 1839 than slipped down to 1750s, managed to climb back up to like 1841 than fucked up and came in last and just started losing all my progress and dropped into gold, practically gave up getting emerald at that point but kept playing and tinkering with builds until I just kept getting consistent podium finishes. Glad Im free from that hellhole and all future rounds of it.

In your defense, the way you have to play in low-level lobbies compared to high-level lobbies is different if you can't get a breakaway lead. It's just 24/7 item spam that benefits no one.

For players who have accel on a face button, what's your preferred method of air tricking?
>>
>>728732683
I think this will be what holds bagging back from ever being definitively meta. The more players who do it in a race, the less consistent and effective it will be which in my opinion is a good thing.

Back buttons for left and right air tricks. I just wiggle the stick if I don't want a direction.

>>728735407
Right stick lets you air trick in a specific direction separate from your steering. Left and right air tricks move you in those directions, so you can for example make a hard left while air tricking right to offset it.

>>728745297

Some possibilities that come to mind
>Perfect Charge Boost
>Accel not working correctly on Boost or Handling machines
>transforms sometimes not properly happening (e.g. stuck in boat form on land)
>randomly getting launched
>general netcode bs
>>
>>728745994
>Accel not working correctly on Boost or Handling machines
I've seen this mentioned before but what are the actual effects of this? Does acceleration just kick in slower or is it something else? I'm aware this game has automatic gear shifts as a hidden mechanic for some godforsaken reason.
>>
>>728746185
Off the top of my head it's around half a second longer than you'd expect to go from 0 to max within certain stat ranges. Tails on Jet's EG accelerates around the same speed as a low accel character like Big would.
Perfect Charge Boost has been reported as bugged with less speed than expected on some vehicles like the Mine Cart, so I think the extra accel from boost effects hit bugged stat ranges that raw stats can't reach too.

No what I mean is someone tossed an iron ball in front, it landed to the far right ahead of us while we were in the middle. And someone deliberately turned right and crashed into it but still kept going like it was nothing as usual with this game lol. And I've seen this happen multiple times before

Ball was likely on the left on their screen because you were more on the left on their screen, so they dodged it on their screen but it looks like they phased through on yours

I don't think you're quite getting what happened. But i understand not everything is the same on our screens. The ball was far ahead of us but to the right like it was touching the wall so we can easily see it the closer we get and avoid it. But they just went straight to it

Whoever say this has never used the build weird how I sound like a silver surfer now, you're still extremely vulnerable to attacks and get fucked the same as everyone. Heck, some low rank newbies have beaten me because I can still get mario karted at the end.
If UC gets banned, there will be peace for a while since even bagging builds have their limits and even if the full lobby is bagging only a few are going to be able to use it correctly I will still whine about it because stealing 1st from 8th right at the last second is a cowards tactic if you're a bagger if you're not a bagger then I applaud you for stealing my 1st with a drill from 10th.

That's because you do sound like one. QR vs. no QR is night and day, you're hardly vulnerable compared to the schmucks that don't know how to slot in Quick Recovery for 95% item resistance.

>>
>>728778094
Yeah, but if you have used it before you should know it doesn't even compare to silver surfing. You can still get damaged and stopped, it's not an invincibility build. Like I said, I've been beaten before by some newbies because I'm right there, I'm not half lap ahead and I'm not invincible, so any attack I receive can potentially make me lose my position, even if I can recover a lot more quickly than a no QR build.
>>
>>728778252
Who do you think will be half a lap ahead when surfers are extinct? Hint, it's not the guys without QR.
>>
>>728778371
Bro, have you even played against non surfers? I have and no one in those lobbies get a half lap lead, we're all packed together all race because we're all vulnerable one way or another.
I will stop posting now since I'm not going to defend the build to the death like silver surfers do. Time will tell what will happen if UC gets nerfed or banned.
>>
>>728773026
This is my exact build I'm the one that asked how. But god damn I feel so slow in the last stretch. Also when i get 1st I get like 11 points max. Regardless congrats bro, I made 40 points away from emerald before. But it's rough

Big Idiot is just the name a YouTuber gave to QR Slipstream setup, the exact combo is:
Quick Recovery, Slipstream Bounty, Mini Ring Gain Boost, then Ring Mercy (or Extended Slipstream) for final slot. Use a Power vehicle for maximum effect, but Handling vehicle is acceptable (lower slipstream synergy but turns more gooder). Any character is fine.

I like these four, in about this order.
>Surfing's obvious.
>The TT slipstream being run before the Quick Recovery buff still feels better to me than Big Idiot. Having room for full ring boost plus lv2 QC lets you hit 260 in areas the frontrunners are moving at 220-230, and even lets you sometimes hit that speed in first. No item protection blows, but it's great at keeping up with the leaders and can potentially frontrun lap 3 with enough of a safety net.
>QR over UC makes for a drift build that's just as fast as surfers, but with a utility slot to spare. Much better lap 1 ring gen, but without defensive items or collision protection the ring economy gets much worse once the bullshit starts.
>Big Idiot consistently does well, but the slipstream reliance makes it feel shit to drive if you're anywhere other than on first's ass. And I do mean on their ass, the final stretch comeback factor feels underwhelming with just Mini Ring Boost. Dull to play, but it works.

>people start calling slipstream build "big idiot" now
I guess they're trying to make people not use the build or something. Works for me, been using the build and some variants since the ONT and not planning on changing it since I don't like surfing nor bagging. The less people using it, the less chance it attracts the eyes of faggots like the ones who decided to call it "big idiot".
>>
>>728785209
I used the third one with level 2 and 3 swapped for tech drift for the legendary completion mode. It is a good compromise when you aren't good enough at surfing, but still want to get 80% of the benefit for free while still having fun snaking and getting free rings.

also nta but every lap has multiple checkpoints where you get more xp points for higher placement, so the higher your xp the higher quality your items are when you crash out and the game decides it's time to give you the good stuff

>>728791216
It does a ton of shit between item design and general handling and such, but the big ones they added recently were
>races have checkpoints
>at checkpoints and when finishing a lap, racers are given "EXP" based on position (higher position = more EXP)
>"EXP" is what determines item odds (low EXP/low position gets locked out of a couple items and generally gets more boost stuff, higher EXP gets some of the more disruptive stuff at low positions like Shrink)
>this means that sandbagging is effectively impossible, but timed overtakes aren't
>attacking players gives Amps, when get spent automatically for an extra boost when you spend all of your rings (which are both health and boost meter)

I find it funny that it's called Big Idiot since I've been running something like this forever even before QR got buffed, Ring Mercy is nice but I think Extended Slipstream is better if you don't expect to front run a lot (basically if you know there are silver surfers in the race, go for Extended otherwise go for Mercy).
I'm also pretty sure this gadget setup works with anything even if it might be best with power vehicles due to built in bumper guard and lower chance of losing rings when bumping other players.
I run Speed&Sage 90% of hte time and unless I'm getting giga Mario Karted (which in LC happens way too fucking often and QR can't save you for shit when that happens, Slime in particular is the worst), I'm in top5 every race

No surprise there either. I've been running Quick Recovery since ONT half the time with the Quick Drift Gadget kit the other half but LC has just proven that it's UC, QR or bagging and I want to actually race so QR it is.
Doesn't help I find Technical Drift and snaking to be unfun to fuck with nonstop. Technical Drift by itself is probably something sega vastly underestimated just how good it is.
>>

While ring economy's a factor, Power's mainly popular for it due to uniquely getting a speed bonus from ring bounty + ring boost. It does work fine on everything otherwise, you can make a case for handling being better even due to higher drift speed.
I've bounced between Ring Mercy, Extended Slipstream, Mini Dash Panel Bounty, and full Ring Boost with it. Mercy felt the most useful on average, especially in more brutal races, but it's somewhat redundant with Slipstream Bounty. Lv2 QC would also probably work well.

I always forget Power vehicles have 10 higher speedcap on the Slipstream bonus which is retarded. Every day I'm reminded how retarded this game is and even so it's still more fun than MKW.
>>
crazy that PC deluxe is down to $52 now
>>
>>728808096
That's the common perception of it, but I'm pretty sure it's a completely separate bonus for the ring bounty + ring boost combination specifically. If you stack ring boost with dash panel bounty and hit the Radical Highway bridge with 100 rings, other vehicle types cap out at 255 while Power hits 268.

They really should take the Mini Quick Recovery off Accel Machine Kit and swap it with the Max Traction passive they currently have. Or let accel cars have both and give the kit something new entirely, wouldn't hurt anything.

I wish we had the option to choose and have them robot voiced, normally voiced, and voiceless.
Maybe do the same for the regular characters, so we can turn off the voices and have some regular jingle or something like the DLC ones have.
Mostly for people who hate those characters whose dialogue when tricking or something get annoying after a few minutes of racing. But also to have more customization options in general.

I'm just gonna accept I'm not making Emerald. Whenever I get 10 points the next couple of races will be me getting Mario Kart'd nonstop every lap and end up 10th because getting actually good items is impossible. Ever since I hit plat I've not gotten close to 1750 again and just constantly back between 1680-1700.
>>728815952
Yea fuck Tornado, people are so insanely trigger happy with it whenever they are near anyone.

You have to respect tornado holders massively. I usually slow down and try to throw an item to bait it out if I can.

one time i had this faggot intentionally slam on the brakes so that he could hit me with his tornado (mind you, this was right before the finish line). people are starting to treat this game like tf2 where pissing people off is more important than winning

I had to boost a friend's account to emerald because they gave up any chance of doing it without silver surfing and didn't have the time to learn how to surf. If you aren't using ultimate charge getting emerald is a genuine coinflip.
>>
>>728816171
My build that isnt sweat trans surfing:
Power vehicle
3 item hold
Strong finish
Slipstream bonus
Ring boost
Basically the strategy is to stay in 7th - 10th place slightly behind the pack so that you can make use of slipstream and farm last place item roulettes, farm for lazers, drills, and trucks. On the last lap (the only point of the race that actually matters) you will be invincible for the first 20s, use this time to actually try catching up to the front pack with slipstream and ring boost, also hold on to your bagged items. Unleash all your power weapons to drag out invincibility and pass the frontrunners. This strategy works very consistently with getting podium wins if done correctly. The main thing is to not fall too far behind while rolling the item slots during lap 1 and 2.
>>
>>728820898
I know how to surf but I'm not great at it and I hate technical drift. The idea of a "competitive" mode with massive RNG like this and only one sure way to counter it is so fucking stupid. Also I really fucking hate Slime.

Well that match really tested my ability to hit the break and avoid monster trucks.

I sure do love perma-12th because the guy in front of me activates their truck the moment I'm next to them! (This happened three times.)

growth depends on your ability to accept that people will attack you, that there is no reason for them to spare you in any scenario, and that you need to drive with that in mind

Boy you are lucky I had triple boost in that last slot instead of laser.

I'm well-aware of that, I'm almost Legend 1 lol. It was just a shitty race for me.

so do you guys play with JP voices or english?

I took SSS's (brakes required) disclaimer as a challenge and wrote them off completely, and it took until legend 2 to properly start using them for item dodging. Wish I didn't take that long because it makes such a huge difference when you can see what's coming.

Weirdly enough this is one of the few games I can't play with japanese voices. I'm a big weeb who likes hearing japanese but I can't with Sonic games, I'm too used to their english voices (even if they change VA once in a while).

Just whatever you do, do NOT press brake while on water, ever, in online matches.
Shit is bugged and every time I've been hit or wall rammed at the same time as I've hit brake just to try and avoid hitting a wall on those sharp U turns from an unfortunate boost has completely and utterly fucked me each and every time. You will come to a complete stop, have a 50/50 chance of being completely turned around the wrong way and take forever to accelerate again for some fucking reason.

I love brakes. Line a little crooked? Feather the brakes. Might fall off? Tap the brakes, slam it if its scary enough. Guy with a tornado in their pocket? Tap the brakes while you turn away, Slipstream will handle the rest. Braking is always better than dying, and it turns out it's very easy to die in this game.

Speed items (besides drill) should really be faster to make up for how much you lose when you're hit. A speed wisp barely goes faster than a level 3 drift + slipstream, if that.

Boost Wisps should at minimum give same speed boost and stack with other stuff as Truck does so you can actually outpace those fucking dickheads.if you are ahead of them.
