LC 5 announced. 2-slot gadgets banned
Majima arriving wednesnay, his festival the day after. curiously, ring engine and double ring engine will be banned on it. they're definitely aware of DRE's possibly unintended power, i'm expecting a nerf next patch.
>>737786024Ring Engines made tap boost needlessly stressful, so I'm glad to see that. No more needing to coordinate with the team's gadgets, or feeling pressured to DRE to keep up with other teams.
wake me up when arle
>>737785829>No tech drift>No UC>No DRE>No spin drift (bros...)ACK season upon us?
>>737786024IT WAS VYSES' TURN
>>737787132Probably going to be in the bulk of sets. Can't think of anything better to use those slots for.>ACK + Wisp Hoarder>ACK + Ring Engine + QC2 + 130 Ring Limit>ACK + QC2+3 + Dash Panel Mini Bounty>ACK + QR
wow a tails decal! surely that will save the 500+ playerbase on steam whenever there isn't a festival! bots in every ranked game up to legend rank (even in legend rank) btw!
>>737786024https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/735501406/#q735539046But /v/ told me Double Ring Engine was bad and a meme and to just hit them with items! What happened?
>>737787616crossplatform gamemario shart lost btw
>>737785829ACK is back on the menu
>>737787868wow crossplatformyet I still get bots every single fucking game and the ones where there aren't any have a point difference of 10000+ pointsdead game nice cope retard
>>737787868>mario kart out of nowheremindbroken
Just remember, she's in.
>>737787616can you fuck off and let us enjoy our game, you had your thread already
>>737788046maybe you should git gud so you can get up there with the big boys instead of whining on a indonesian moving pictures and programs board
>>737788608so even if I "git gud" and beat your shitty neet furry with no life your game will still be completely deadmario kart killer btw
How about the decals?
>they keep doing everything they can to avoid fixing the netcode>everyone will just keep getting an inconsistent approximation of the race instead of an actual shared realityI really want to hold out for Arle and her festival but I don't think I can deal with this bullshit for much longer than that
I'm almost Legend 2, seeing a lot more super high-ranked players. Really fun to test my skills against them, even if I lose more often than I win.
>>737785829how hard is it to hit legend?i'm kinda shit but want the decal
>>737790010It's pretty free, just takes some time.
>>737787868I completely forgot about Mario Kart world
>>737790010Took me a week when the game launched. Also, when they have LCs they double the points you get so you can get there quicker
Costumes When
>>737790934I'm hoping in June we get a 35th anniversary festival with content from different Sonic racing games.>legacy cars from All Stars Racing/Transformed/Drift>Riders skins, music, and a few boards>the R music that was datamined prior to release>since it'd be Sonic themed, just go ham with a bunch of Sonic music that the base game didn't have already
Custom lobby doko?
>>73779135681884671Gadgetless.Sonic Speed and Normal CPU for everyone to have a chance.Will wait 10 minutes for at least 1 anon to start racing. If no one joins I'll close the lobby and go play alone.
>>737791718And no one else joined. GGs I guess. See you all at the festival...
>>737792267I'd have joined since I missed the last gadgetless lobby but I'm busy wageslaving
>>737793481I'll try to make another custom lobby when Majima update hits.I really want to play online but WM and LC are cancer and Festivals, which I found the most fun, are just a few days every blue moon. Let's hope people are available that day.
>>737793897>Festivals, which I found the most fun, are just a few days every blue moon.frankly even the appeal of those are drawing thin, they frontloaded the characters with the greatest appeal to the fanbase, red garnered noticably less interest, and I doubt people will care about a second yakuza much either, arle's cool but has a niche fanbase, the nu versions of nick characters being added isn't that appealing either, they better have some big guns for the final free SEGA packs on the schedule
I play because this game is really fun, not because there's an specific character or reward. Although I'm waiting for Arle and her machine to arrive to finally main.Festivals are fun for me because I don't have friends to play with, and we team up here and chill unless there's a top 10 faggots team and we need to get serious and comment during races. Most people here are really good players, and even the few newbies who join do their best and try not to let the rest of the team down. Playing with full randos is not as good and the experience stops being fun for me.WM I don't like anymore since it turned into a sweatfest the moment I touched Legend 9 and it drained me mentally just to get to L1 without following the meta months ago when surfing reigned supreme, leaving me with no desire to keep playing there anymore.LC is even worse so I stopped playing those after the 1st one.
>>737794186>>737795707
I'm not that familiar with the meta but I've used the two slot ring engine so I get banning it but why ban the one slot one is it also that busted?
>>737787725DRE is programmed to do that, seethe
>>737789072>everyone will just keep getting an inconsistent approximation of the race instead of an actual shared realityThis is every real time multiplayer game in existence, a fast pacing racing game is going to be especially susceptible to it
>>737797280Because people stack them together and then frontrun/ignore the objective. This was a race I did the other day and there was literally no way to get anything higher than 2nd because of how far away 1st was
>>737797280They are only "busted" together and the 1 slot isn't banned
>>737797440when most games show you a kill or hitconfirm it actually happens on the other end
>>737797367So I was right? Wow!
>>737797558From that other thread, since I don't use social shits.
>>737797558It is for the Majima festival. I'm guessing because this is the free weekend on Steam
I hope DRE doesn't get a heavy nerf in the future, it's the most fun meta the game has had thus far. Slopstreaming is so boring in comparison.
>>737797646>Banning gadgets during festivalsGotta be the gayest thing imaginable
>>737785829>>737786024ACKChads won...>>737797280The problem is when you put them together. HRE by itself does nothing to your top speed, however when combined with RE, which normally gives you +3 top speed by itself, you end up with +12 top speed. Honestly surprised they don't just balance it now since all it needs is top speed nerfed when combined to fix it. Going to miss HRE since it was so fun.
>>737797580>when most games show you a kill or hitconfirm it actually happens on the other endAt 100ms+ people complain about "dying around corners" in FPS games all the timeAt even 2 frames of rollback in even the best possible fighting game netcode you will occasionally get sent false hit and counterhit effects None of it is real, man
>>737797652Oh wow I guess they got tired of 4stacks front running by a massive margin
>>737798236Whatever the trannies at the top 10 touch ends up nerfed. They keep ruining this game's online since the beginning. I say let them keep fucking with whatever they manage to exploit so it gets noticed and nerfed.
>>737797894They probably don't want people to just frontrun and not play the objective just like the UC days
>>737798378If there is no way to frontrun even a little then the game is just itemslop
>>737798452So we just let them run free a hundred miles away from the pack?
>>737798452The people in these threads don't know anything except "I am losing to X, nerf it" and will continue to say this with every patch and every new meta because there will always be a "best" option.
>>737798197this game will constantly tell you someone got hit but in their universe that never happened so it doesn't count, then in a different person's universe they got hit instead but while you didn't see that part, they still slow downthis isn't "occasionally" and this is barely comparable to high ping snipers getting kills around corners because those still actually count when the game tells you they countthis can sometimes be abused if you throw a homing item right next to someone; since they might be ahead of you only on their screen and no one else's, that single item can hit them and whoever's in front of them at the same time on each of their screens so even if you get NO HITCONFIRM, you'll likely see both mysteriously slow down
>>737798635Here comes the ttvfaggots defenders at the rescue. Don't you have some streamers to go watch? Remember to donate some money to them too.
>>737798746I don't watch or care about any streamfaggots, sorry. What does my post even have to do with them?
>>737798506DRE is much better than UC in that there is a cost to racing like that in requiring constant fuel, making your lines dogshit due to variable handling and making you more susceptible to item hitsJust make the ring tax even higher so the frontrunners can dream the frontrunning dream while not so consistently being able to break out of the pack
>>737785829>lust inducing image
>>737798746Your obsession with anyone above you on the leaderboard is transparent, while that guys obsession with streamers is purely speculative
>>737798435It was never a real problem and they never banned UC in festivals before. DRE isn't nearly as invincible compared to UC, especially with the KBB spam from festivals. Regardless, it's gay as shit to do this kind of restriction in a party mode.
>>737799059I think the objective should be mandatory in the objective based gamemode, how would you fix people skipping it outright
>>737798506How about buff the rest of the gadgets so they actually do something substantial instead of nerfing everything into boring slop.
>>737798954>leaderboardI'm not on any leaderboard to even begin to care about them. not my fault some anons here like to suck those faggots dicks so much they need to excuse them even on 4chan. of course I know some of those same faggots lurk here so no surprise.
I actually kinda want that Tails decal but I'll be damned if I'm gonna have 40,000 RP shit and cum covered Trannies bend me over and rape in competitive
>>737799141It's just one rape
>>737799129yes yes its only those dastardly streamers using the good items in the videogame, if those items got nerfed im sure the game would acknowledge you as the best gamer
>>737799203>he keeps putting words in my mouthOk bro, whatever floats your boat.
>>737799247To be fair to him, you literally did that to me a few posts ago.
>>737799087I wouldn't. Top placing in a race should be rewarded with a win, no exceptions. The festivals are already chaotic enough that just winning by placement isn't so easy unless there's a clear skill gap.
>>737799247That is literally your only tactic you disingenuous nigger
>>737799141Just one race won't hurt>>737799059They didn't ban UC in festivals because they were still trying to gauge how to balance things I imagine. But now they want to keep a better eye on the game so one build/gadget doesn't dominate the game
>>737799247>Here comes the ttvfaggots defenders at the rescue. Don't you have some streamers to go watch? Remember to donate some money to them too.
>>737799059They're banning those gadgets because it's a free weekend I'm pretty sure. They don't want newfags being raped THAT hard.
>>737797646>meta becomes something that isnt trans surfing>NO NO NO NO SHUT IT DOWN NOWWWWWNo wonder I only pop in for festivals now
>>737799573UC was very vocally complained about for months and multiple patches. They already did a LC that excluded it. They already had the data to make a determination, and they did nothing.
>>737799275>>737799527>>737799598heh. you got me there. but you should really stop defending those retarded faggots so hard.
>>737799863They did do something and addressed the issue. A little too late, but they still did nerf UC (but not to the point of uselessness, it just takes more actual skill now)
>>737800165You can use UC to some effect but it now sacrifices way too much speed to be worth the squeeze
>>737800249I do still see some people run it. I think it's good that it isn't completely useless but it's good it isn't dominating the meta anymore
>>737799617BUT I WANT TO RAPE EVERYONE ON THE FESTIVAL
If the anon who was going to host a custom lobby is still here, i'm down for some games. I just finished work
>>737800640I'm here, but I would play for like 45 minutes max. Already pretty late for me to be awake.
>>737800701I'll hop in too, why not
>>737800165They never banned it specifically in any online modes before then.
All right. Let's do this then.41922048Gadgetless Sonic Speed, normal CPUs.
>>737800795Give me a sec, I gotta get the game in the Switch>>737800783I imagine it's hindsight then. They're trying to nip it in the bud early, plus this time there's a free weekend
>>737800795Awesome, give me 10 minutes to get everything ready and i'll be right there. Let's get that practice in for the festival
>>737800887>>737800935Mother fuckers. You're going to make me miss my beauty sleep. Get your ass in here faaaaaast.
>>737800995I'm in. Sorry for the delay, let's do this
Eggpawn anon, remove your gadgets.
>>737801341sorry i couldn't figure out how to do it and backed out to the main menu to figure it out. i picked this up like yesterday and had never had to remove them up until now.back in the lobby without gadgets now :)
>>737801553Sorry for that anon. Trying to have some stress free races and not having to worry about gadgets. Also good for anyone not wanting to race against specific gadgets.
I'll hop on.
>hit myself with a bombThat's the second time that's happened to me in the last few days and it's making me realize I'm terrible at this game.
>>737801627no i get it i just figured by "gadgetless lobby" it would happen automatically or something like as a lobby rule i fell off and ate shit
You fools this is not a good time to play. Stop getting in lol.
>>737801819It's kind of dumb. If it can't flatten you, why shoul the explosion hit?
Can't join but I'll 100% be back for Majima Fest
>>737801864They want us to suffer for our mistakes
GGs newanon. Hope to see you next festival.
>KBB>then splatted>then squished Holy FUCK
>>737802354Thank you for the games! I'd play longer if it wasn't 2 AM my time. I'll hop in if I see any threads tomorrow.
All right, guys. This next race and another one and we're done. Already pretty late and need to sleep.
And that's a wrap. Thanks for the games, guys. GGs all. Hope to see you another day or next festival. Good night.
>>737802540>>737802814GGs and thanks for hosting
>>737802540GGs Sagebro. Thank you for hosting. This was good practice for the festival. GGs guys this was fun
>>737802814Always a good time
