Discuss Kirby AIR RIDERS!
>>728973250It sucks
>>728973250I bought this on a whim never had experienced the original, and within days I'm convinced it's the best Switch 2 game.
>>728973250What's up with the event? It said that it was going to run for like a week but it went down after a single day. I want my santa hat.
This game's existence is beyond baffling. Nobody even cared about the first one outside of “that game you rented for a weekend” or “your cousin happened to have it and you messed around for a few hours”
>>728973916It broke online, they took it down temporarily.
>>728974068There goes Christmas....
>>728974068Ah, I see. That's pretty funny.
Speedstorm mogs it and will have it's Christmas event on time with No problems.suck it, Kirbitches!
>>728973250it rapes.I just got hydra then insta killed 2 cunts. lmao.
>>728975039
New designs up.
>>728975530>fat SusieHell yeah.
. . .
I'd be up for a Paddock in 30 minutes if we can get a decent group going.
>>728976998i might for a bit but 3 days of no sleep is catching up to me
I've never seen a single discussion of this game that wasn't just console warring. must not be very good.
Postan my Rey Dau jet starMBR3XGT1
>>728978052no idea who that is but looks cool
Metroid Vampire Star: M41N2DSQLightning chariot....chariot: MLSTJGYM
Paddock ID: 1B6CM3Pswd: 1992
Any tips for Cavernous Corners 2 laps under 2:50? I can't get it below 2:53.
is the event seriously down AGAIN?????
>>728975530Thanks for the Rex Wheelie, I was gonna ask you to make one but you’re ahead of the curve.
Allegedly, you can still get the santa hat using this one simple trick.
when are they bringing back the event?they canceled it earlier because it was bugged
Just finished a waveflow race and it was very laggy but everyone reached the finish line, except it’s been stuck on the finale for like 10 minutes now and the camera is clipping through terrain and I just saw a meta knight fly by.
>>728978770Do you want to just play with some CPU's while we wait?>>728979067You're welcome.
>>728973992Eat shit, Air Ride has always been a gem and I'm glad they let Soccer Guy free from smash to build this, his real passion project
>>728978869i just did it ez pz online without effort. lmao. lololo&lalala on...shadow? you get way better times online as its so cut throat thus lots of star trials and attack boosts.
>>728979467it's a fucking troll post anon. holy shit why would you allow yourself to get baited? nearly every air riders thread has it posted.
this games so cool and fun
>>728979139>redditI missed the event, but i’m not even gonna try this. Not even the “leaks” here are as fake as this
>>728973992I played the fuck out of this game on the GameCube what are you smokingI could never get trampled by Dyna Blade achievement
I don't know if this game is that popular because it's good and good games are usually not that popular, but if it is popular they should add a second City Trial map as free DLC. That would be like absolute kino hopeium lol.
>>728979525I baited you into thinking I got baited
>>728978770I don't know about everyone but I'm okay with just chilling in the paddock if we want to wait for more people, I have my 3DS nearby
>>728980707I don't mind either. But I'll be posting random shit otherwise.
>Original game was notoriously lacking in content because of rushed development>20 years pass>Another attempt is made>Same amount of new tracks as the original>Still just one city trial track>Otherwise just some cosmetics are added in>Everyone goes on about how much content the game has and how Sakurai packed the game with so much stuff to do?
I just knew that shit was coming last lap to get wrecked
>>728980884robo slut>>728980268>>728980653you both are hopeless.the more you reply the more he'll stick around.please stop.
>>728980946the directs were like two hours long and it's sakurai so people suck the game off to own the evil nintendo corpo (the money they spent on the game goes directly to nintendo)
>>728973250I wish I didn't suck at combat.
Formula Star is so busted that when it is about to break it gains even more acceleration and top speed, holy fuck
>>728980884>Susie still on her bullshit>Just makes sure to stay the fuck away from anything Popstar relatedEvil bitches that aren't absolutely retarded, now that's hot
>>728981312pretty sure most vehicles do that this game. right?
Paddlock room code?
>>728975530Got the bike. You are a vituoso anon.
>>728982231>>728978770
>>728981885Yeah every vehicle does it. It’s insane on paper star since it’s so fragile.
Are we able to see the city trail stadium ahead of time if you set it?
>Decided to do super hard for road trip>Unable to progress because I'm Rocky and I need to beat Metaknight in an arena to beat more enemies than him and there are no powerups
Got this game today, really fun singleplayer so far
>>728980059I know it's >reddit, but I did this last night and I can vouch for this and can confirm it works. The only thing I will say is that it hinges upon other people doing the same thing so you can actually get into a game. You also have to relaunch the game in airplane mode after every single gameAlso, what the fuck is this Captcha? Fuck you, GookMoot
Paddock info in image form:
I return, today was the final day of saturday work, did my request for the shadow star ever get uploaded and I missed it or has the general been too fast and it just never came up
>>728982540just kill meta knight. lmao
Only if you get a hint or find the book that tells you it.
>>728983305He's too cracked out I can't catch him. I'm level 345 at this point
>>728982785I’ll be on in like 10 minutes, sucks I couldn’t get a santa hat cause I couldn’t play on Thursday tho
>>728973992>Nobody cared for the first oneI did, not every game has to be 800 hour open world with insane exploration and care around every corner. Can we not get a second 'game nobody cared about but' game? Does every game have to be super duper cared for by the widest audience possible for you?
>>728983609You can still get it.>>728979139
>>728983558>>728983305There's a shop that offers the UFO power up...the encounter BEFORE the boss which is braindead easy to complete even without a powerupBut the actual boss? You can go fuck yourself. Do it with literally nothing. Well that's not fair. You get bombs. But he does too. And bombs on top of him don't do anywhere near enough damage, you only get three, and he's not stupid enough to stay inside the blast radius
lol
>>7289787709/16 playersfilling up nicely
>>728984583I should join before I want to throw my Switch through the windowI should have finished this Road Trip run 2 weeks ago but ran into a brick fucking wall. Any combat encounter you can't get powerups for is fucking hell
>>728978770Can't join. Shows me the paddock and I entre the code and it loads and spits me back out to the main menuI made sure I was running the latest version and reloaded
>Killing someone while trying to mount Leo cucked me from getting it
>Missed out on the hat>Got the final event to finally showI'll take the trade
>>728984917try again
My Internet is failing this day. Great matches tho, hope to see a room tomorrow.
>>728984932>the leo proceeded to become invincible and walk towards starman since he got knocked off his machineimagine thinking you were so cool trying to hijack the Leo and then it backfired that hard
>>728981312>>728981885>Bamco put rage mode into a racing gameSasuga
i just noticed theres an amiibo playing with us wtfis it learning and leveling up from us?
>looked through the patch notes>apparently the game playing a random song during online city trial was a bug and was suppose to play your “my music” selectionNo clue how it was a bug but glad I can choose what song plays
>>728985448He is our sonWe are collectively the dads who stepped up
>tries to go for paper star>dies instantly>”the match is almost over, if I can just reach that island with the paper sta-“>dies instantly againNever again
>>728985512I was wrecking nearly everyone that game, I got a clip of the deathmatch and it was wicked.
>>728985475Our son might be retarded I fear.
trying to snipe legendary parts in the late game is awful, everyone's moving at a million miles an hour and they'll deliberately avoid others to prevent anyone from making a complete one.
>>728979248after X-mas.
>>728985608such massive fucking pussies.was trying in ranked and its just so fucking difficult.got hydra once at least.
>>728985594I have no fears and lose no sleep over it, I definitively know that he is retarded
/v/irby is a boring name for the amiiboif its gonna be a green kirby it should have a green name or pun like /v/erdigris
Cool boss butch Hyper Zone Vampire Star. One of you selling it?
I would like the machine market meta of itasha rex wheelies more if I actually liked the rex wheelie.
>>728986280I prefer to keep things simple
Thanks for the 3 hours of fun, lads.Have a good night.
Stat page states that /v/irby is now a Resourceful Rider. Not sure what that means.
is the lobby still up? I'm about to drive home from work
Where's the room???
Everyone went to sleep.
>>728987459>>728987502I think it's done for the night, boys
>>728987459>>728987502it over brostune in tomorrow
>>728987596>>728987602
Fuck it, I'll start a new room for the stragglers.CODE: 4LQBNFno password
>>728987657I'm getting back on until I'm ready to fall asleep then
how the fuck do I get Gigantes pieces to spawn for offline City Trial?I have the entire checklist complete aside from Gigantes relates ones
>>728987730hell yeah!
Realistically how many people do we wait for?
>>7289878532
>>728987853You can host whenever really, it doesn't make much of a difference to me
Its cool theyre doing events but sometimes I just cant be fucked to play
>>728987958I was busy and didn't know there was an event. I'm pissed that I missed a cosmetic
are events still happening since the dev team disbanded?
>>728987958getting all the event rewards takes less than an hour lmfao lazy fuck
>/v/irby>no kir/v/y
>>728987972Events suck cause its like you're being forced to have to play the game to get cosmetics. Sometimes the event is live when I dont feel like playing the game and cant be arsed to turn on my switch and load up the game either etc.
>CPUs
>>728982658>The only thing I will say is that it hinges upon other people doing the same thingYour lobby will just fill with bots if they don't. It'll take awhile, but it'll happen.
>>728987958>>728987972>>728988004They took the Christmas event offline temporarily because it was causing a bug where it was affecting rulesets outside of the event.At least with this event there was no stupid 2 hour intervals, it was one that was set to be up all day while it was active. They really all should just be like that
>>728988139Ah ok that's good they changed that. The 2 hour interval thing was dumb.
>>728988004The system is likely meant to be automated even after the dev team stops being able to pay attention to the game, similar to how Smash Ultimate still has spirit board events and online tournament themes rotate in and out.
>>728973250The logo isnt that soulful unfortunately
>>728988094It certainly does take a long ass time if that's the case. The main point is that the trick works, despite leddit being the source of the information
You're very mean, M. Adam
What's the standard protocol for rules when there are not a lot of people in the room?
>halberd after I ditched wing starfuck my all up
>>728988329My game plan is to always rush offense and good offensive vehicles, it's much more fun than doing gliding/stat collecting
>hit opponent a billion times>doesn't drop their piece>get hit once>drop all of my pieceswh-whatever... thanks for the hydra gummy, faggot
I tried the air plane mode trick out of curiosity even though I already got the hat and it worked just fine.
nigga just do no cpus, we choose the stadium that makes us only compete with each other
>>728989032what is your fucking problem with the cpus bitchI like having retards around that I can kill for free stats
>>728989065>I like having retards around that I can kill for free statsthats why I'm here
>>728975039Pic related is the superior disney racing game
Gonna go AFK for a sec, making a late dinner. You guys are good to start without me
>3rd place in target flight with the battle chariotuhhhh
Almost got cucked by P1 there
Paddock is 7/16
>>728989525I was surprised too see that
>>728985594Its okay for boys to be a bit retarded
Holy shit that round was so much fun. I got so many kills.I don't even care that I totally blew it during the event.
fuck off Adam, you're never getting your revenge lol
>nobody picked air glider
This game is too hard for Kirby.
CHOOSING STADIUM IS STUPID WHEN THERE ARE SO FEW PLAYERS
>>728990276agreed, but the nip is doing the lobbies
It gave me Total Champion in Switch Push, but then when I chose to play anyway it gave me /v/irby as an opponent.
>>728990309deport him back to china if you ask me
It looks like an actually fun switch game, but much like I tell my brother at least once a month>No I'm not buying a whole system for one game that's stupid.The second system would be a dedicated windows machine for dogshit modern games I'm not interested in with malware anticheat, and halo.And honestly I got to live without it for years, so I'm fine without halo, apparently they killed the online for master chief collection
>>728973250Is Item Bounce in this game?
go back to fixed stadium, I'm begging you
>nobody picked skydiveez w
>>728990540done join
>>728990543you didn't beat the game
>>728990276Your input has been noted, rude anon, and the settings will be adjusted according to your preferences next time.>>728990309Thinking someone is a nip because they have a Japanese name in game is about as smart as believing someone is a girl because they have a female name, anon.
>>728990405cool story bro
>>728973992good, we need more games like this instead of cookie cutter trash
>>728990614That name translates to "death to pearl harbor"
>>728990757
you gotta be fucking kidding me I had those leo pieces for two seconds
>>728990623Thanks bro, I wroted it myself
>>728990728Makes you wonder what would could have had if Sakurai wasn't trapped in the Smash Bros salt mines most of the time... Somebody get Galactic Nova on the phone.
change time to 6 minutes
To the Susie who tried to attack me to get my Leo piece while I was on the Hydra, it's okay. I'm a little retarded sometimes too
>>728990805I was trying to get the Hydra guy to build Leo so I could steal the HydraIt almost worked
11/16
I’ll get on the paddock tomorrow since I played air ride mode like 10 hours today and yesterday & I gotta continue Metroid Prime 1.
>>728990526Yes actually though it's now tiny boxes
pls change time to 6 or 7 minutes
>>728991095why?
>>7289911045 is too short.
>>728990889... I had tunnel vision...
Why am I not seeing any susie-titmobiles?
lmao @p5 missing 100
>1st place in target flight with the chariotlol. lmao.
>>728991459
>>728973992Sakurai doesn't know how to follow up Smash Ultimate but needed to look busy to keep his job.
>communication errorFUCKI blame the jap
>commu errorshame
It's over....
Welp it’s 3 AM, I’m going to bed after that error.
Here's the room code again since we had a bunch of people leaveCODE: 4LQBNFno passwordgive me like 3 minutes guys
>>728991791>>728991794>>728991815Still 5/16, come back here!
>>728991842Pathetic.
>>728991852I'm still here, it just booted me to the lobby
cpus or no cpus in a small lobby like this?
>>728991842Same, I'll have time to play this game next weekend when I don't have to worry about work but that's gotta be it for me.
you two retards fought over Leo the entire match lmao
>big battle 2
>>728991929noneif I wanted to play with a couple humans and the rest cpus i'd just go on ranked.
>>728992194I WAS JUST ASKING
lol jay
>>728992208Yes? And I answered, giving my reasoning as well.
>killed me in the last 20 sec
>still lost to me
>>728992556sh-shut up. my machine was too good I couldn't hit the buttons
>>728973250WHERE THE FUCK do you find a high jump mission in road trip mode? I almost fucking cleared the mission board after a grueling month of work in which I mostly played kirby air riders
Wait if you die in button push you just respawn?
>Basedvipe
>>728992603yep, dumb nigger
DISCUSS TR4NNY PORN!>>728992102>>728991808>>728988481>>728985071>>728932518
I swear to god I lose my legendary pieces any time I get hit. this is BULLSHIT
okay I need to eat my dinner. you guys can start a match without me, I won't be offended (I will be a little)
ggs, gotta sleep now.
I'm eating food, soxviper...
wew
okay this is my last one for the night guys. it's 2am here
fucking hell, the second glide stadium in a row
would be nice if any of you fucking posted so I didn't seem like a schizo in the thread alone, but good night!
>>728973250Kirby Air Flop LMAO
This isn't an expedition 33 thread so i don't care
Ive joined the paddock but it's empty? Nobody here. Whats the fuck going on?
Help me!
>>728993905They're probably in a match. You can pass time by doing solo races
Gee there sure is no fate worse than being stuck as an immovable but sentient pile of metal for thousands of years
so half of the online matches are just bots, right? I find it really suspicious that the entire match always manages to fill up right at the end.
>>728994213Anything that joins in the last 10 seconds is a bot
>>728994808That's what I figured. I thought it was really weird that the game could only find 2 people to match me with and then suddenly an entire 16 person lobby when there were 5 seconds left on the clock.I feel insulted that the game lies to me like this.
>>728994854It's really quite scummy to attempt to pass off bots as real people. Nintendo has been doing this for some time, notably in F-Zero 99, and I'm surprised they aren't getting more shit about it.
>>728995986I first remember them doing it with Pokemon Unite. It was really scummy there. You would be in entire matches where you were the only human player.
Sad because you missed out on the event and didn't get your jolly santa hat? Don't be! There's actually a way to still play the event and get the rewards through a very simple exploit. Follow these steps:1. Quit any games that are running.2. Enable airplane mode (this requires your Switch 2 being undocked)3. Start up Kirby Air Riders4. You should see the event announcement, press + to start the event5. At the screen where you can choose your rider/machine combo, disable airplane mode. You may also dock your Switch 2 if you want.6. You should now be queued up for the supposedly cancelled event!The only caveat is that someone else must also be doing the same thing or you will not get into a game, so it could take a bit of waiting. Merry Christmas!
>>728994808>>728994854I thought so too, but the people who join to fill up the last slots of a lobby appear as players met online for me.
THANK GOD it was not a derby stadium
>>728996038I'm fairly certain it only happens in Unite if you haven't played in a while, as whenever I decide to pick the game back up here and there, it's just bot games for a few hours until I finally find human players.
>>728996883I only played when the game first launched, so maybe it's better now. Regardless, I'm not playing a few hours of bot matches just for the chance of maybe being put against real humans.
I knew I was fucked when I completed the Gigantes and I was up against the Leo + Hydra combo.
>>728988193Someone has to be in charge of server maintenance though
>>728996938it was still awesome tho, and i even completed the achievement, so thank you
Ok now i felt very bad for the anon that i've killed in the last secondsthat was so horrible
I bet you enjoyed that didn't you?
>>728998708yeah but... i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy you know
Good games!
>>728999343GGs too anon, see you next /v/eekend
Kirby Air Riders
Why do you need this game when you have Mario Kart?
>>728975530You're doing god's work.
I made a big mistake, I wanted to do the true final boss before hopping online, but I played it on very hard on second run and only then realized that I don't have all the machines so I had to do another run.Took me almost 3 weeks and then online was already dead
>>728994854The game tells you the first time you open the online time, also you can check the license cards, bots don't have one
Nova is a fucking bitch.
>>729002589it's literally better
Does this game have some sort of high skill celling? I played the original years ago and it felt like i was missing some "hidden depth" the game had.
why
>>729007445It's a mix of skill and luck and adapting.Just got to accept you're not always going to win first place.
>>729007159They first released Mario Kart to raise money. And then a normal racing game. Clever
>>729010015
I'll be up for a Paddock in about 30mins, if anyone is interested.
I made a paddock NOW.77G9JV, no passcode
>Button Rush
>>7290142069/32
>>729015638My stats were ass there and I won so I don’t think I hate it anymore
>>729015830I typically do better at Button Rush when my stats *aren't* jacked.
Holy fuck that Rail Panic was closePhoto finish
ezpz
Is there any way to get a lot of coins? I want to buy all the cute machines
>>729016954I fell off track or I would have won
>>729015816I got three in me. Give me a bit.
>>728975530There’s no bookmark system, so can I send my FC so you can friend me and I can keep up with your creations?1370-6461-2248
>>729017002I am sitting on 200k from just playing in /v/ paddocks
>got the game as an early christmas gift>find out they cut the event shortso no santa hat anymore, right?
who was that damn fool the camera cut to at the end god damit
>>729017604I saw a Wagon StarWho was it
>>729017570I'll add after Paddock fun.
>was doing good in the race for a moment>formula star carry>mix panel says STEEL BALL>all speed brought to a dead halti am fucking livid
That was fun lads, good matches.
Nebula belt is so great man
I missed the event???Oh man
not having the santa hat
What a clusterfuck but at least I got 3rd.
>>729018332See >>728996065 if you want the hat still.
I may lobotomize /v/irby
gonna nap in the /v/addock while i have breakfast
>>729018861Ditto on that
>>729018861He just won a stadium.
I wanted to snag some kills in the stadium but you guys are too tanky
>>729018861I tried to lobotomize him mid-match
>>729019467I'm getting lobotomized by everyone. Sweet mercy.
>3 players retired on the other team
uh, the paddock is full of people, i suppose it's public, isn't it?
>nigger rando staying in "preparing" forever so I can't start the matchMaybe we should switch to passworded lobby.
>>729020179Yea, but I still recognize half the paddock so it’s nice
>>729018849Thanks
I watched /v/irby play and he stalked Clyburn after getting a kill, it was actually kind of cruel. I think I may either do some special training alone with the amiibo or see what I can do about getting another one (preferably second hand, I got both due to a state rebate) because while it's funny that this amiibo picks up on the tendencies of the paddock, it picks up on the entire tendencies of the paddock, which is why I think it prefers collecting stats at all times.
>voice chat?NO
NEVER MINDHe's basically right where I want him
dc as game load
>tfw got pic related in the mail the other day after wanting one for yearsFeels good
I just noticed I was riding a trans battle chariot. This is what happens when I step away from my tanks
I’ll just start
You guys cool with random stadium for now?
>>729022536I am.
>>729022582>>728980059I'm doing it right now. It works but you have to keep restarting the game in airplane mode.
>>728973992In the time between the first game and now Kirby went from B-list (outside of Japan) to A-list.
>>729022536I'm cool with it.
Getting 200pts on Target with Swerve Star feels great.
>>729023264I built up my slick star thinking the Checker Knights hint was real.
We’ll do city trial right after I guess. Didn’t think more people would show up
>>729023387Did the text glitch out or anything? My hint was floating number so I just hopped on a warp star
>>729023487Nah, it had to have been a fake hint. I must've missed the cue that gives it away.
