Miku Festival 2 is starting in a couple days, World Championship a week after. This is your official notice that if you want to add Live and Learn (+Final Lap ver.) to your jukebox, you will have to tune in to the World Championship for two (2) hours. Who knows when (or if) these tracks will be available again, so you better grab them while you can.
>live and learn as a twitch dropwtf why.
>>748803863Twitch drops are the worst thing to ever happen to streaming
>>748804363To bribe you into watching their tournament, of course. I'm tempted to call it a genius move on their part, everyone's been begging for that song.
>>748804363because the copyright disputes with c40 WILL NEVER END. the sonic 3 deal has marked them as radioactive the same way the archie comic characters are forbidden.none of c40s songs will be ever available in this or any other game, period.
>>748803863Couldn't you just wait for the festival thread tomorrow...Anyway october calendar
>>748804942>none of c40s songs will be ever available in this or any other game, period.but this game is getting live and learn next week
>>748805021sorry... forgot to add 'except for LaL'possibly the only song sega managed to snatchback. and to make believe the audience 'everything is ok' when of course that is not the case.
>>748804968>Legend Comp Halloween is truly the spookiest month
>>748804968Btw anons, there's no text and data for LC8 compared to previous LC's that had it before they started so we will get the Year 2 patch sometime before LC8 starts.
>>748805313Surely the end of HRE meta is in sight, right?
>>748805313>we will get the Year 2 patch sometime before LC8 starts.That much I figured, they always try to have a legend comp to "test out" the new patch not long after it drops, so guess that'll be the one.>>748805382Probably, but who knows what we'll see next. Sonic Team isn't very good at balancing.
>>748805382We just have to wait and see
>>748804942>because the copyright disputes with c40 WILL NEVER END. the sonic 3 deal has marked them as radioactive the same way the archie comic characterswas adding this song into the movie really worth it? the movie was subpar anyway, all this did was fuck up the games eternally for us real fans. not a fair trade at all.
Didn't Johnny say things between SEGA and himself were cool now
>>748804363Because Sega finally realized nobody gives a single fuck about the Championship and needed a way to incentivize people to watch this garbage. Don't bother, the music will be modded over some other Jukebox tracks and you can use them that way, assuming you're not a filthy consolepleb. If you are, well I hope you don't want to die by the time 2 hours of that shitfest has passed.>>748804968>Legend Comp Round 8Joy. Fun. Happiness. None of it exists in the presence of a Legend Competition.>>748805382>Surely the end of HRE meta is in sight, right?lollmao evenHighly doubt it, and if it does, expect something worse to take it's place, just like it took the place of UC.
>>748806340cross-prog will become a thing anyway, so I'll just turn it on muted in the background, get it on steam then I'll have it on console.
>>748806443You do you, you couldn't pay me to make a Twitch account for this faggotry.
>>748806480I'm also doing it for the decals since I have the lewd decals mod installed
>>748806550That makes sense.I'm still mad I missed out on that one Amy decal from the previous Twitch drops thing, but it is what it is. I'm not caving in for some fucking decals or music that'll just be modded over other music anyway.
>tfw main extreme gears but want to play vectori can't see a fucking thing.
>>748806340>Don't bother, the music will be modded over some other Jukebox tracks and you can use them that wayExtra jukebox tracks are just more slots to mod over anyway
>>748806340>Highly doubt it, and if it does, expect something worse to take it's place, just like it took the place of UC.You make it sound like they balanced the game like this on purpose. If they do nerf RE, they're probably gonna make sure there isn't a good gadget ever again and grossly under tune everything from now on.
>>748803863I don’t have a Twitch account. It’s gay that they are locking music behind Twitch.
>>748807154I know your pain. They really need to do something different with the camera for the big guy.
>>748807687>You make it sound like they balanced the game like this on purpose.They're certainly not in any rush to do anything about it. Especially not before their ultra serious tournament. You've seen how long it takes for us to get patches.>they're probably gonna make sure there isn't a good gadget ever again and grossly under tune everything from now on.I doubt that, though whether it'll be because of how retarded everyone at Sega is or because they want to continue aiming this game towards a more highly competitive scene waits to be seen.
>>748805868>all this did was fuck up the games eternally for us real fans. not a fair trade at allto be fair it's entirely sega's fault for not actually following the contract they fucking madejohnny would never have even known he was getting fucked by sega for 20+ years if it wasn't for universal actually reading the fucking contract
>>748807770it's not even just him, this is an issue for every big character. big, vector, zavok, eggman, hell even joker, ichiban, and majima has this issue a little bit.
>>748805382most likely outcome is sega nerfing RE and making a new best single gadget set
>>748804118Good modes
>>748807952how fucking hard is it for them with a year of data to get the game into a state where at least 70% of the game's content can be used without completely crippling your chances of winning? i dont want to use the goddamn cardboard box.
I genuinely can not wait for the world championship.It's going to be such a shitshow. I don't mind buying this game at launch but at this point it deserves to die. I have no idea who sega think will play an entire year 2.
>>748805382In a post silver surfiing world this'll be their chance to prove they know how to balance a game. With that said I'm not holding my breath. Drill will stay fucked as fucked as well btw because fuck you for wanting to have a catch up item in a kart racer.
>>748807889>johnny would never have even known he was getting fucked by sega for 20+ years if it wasn't for universal actually reading the fucking contractwere details put out about the contract? how much did sega screw johnny over all this time then?
>>748805382>have to buy the minecart DLC for the full HRT metaWhy the fuck would Sega end it? They are literally making money because of it.
>>748808142>HRTMeant HRE.
>>748806051Yes.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GKO90CK6f1c
>>748808142Pretty sure the truck in the base game is the default for core meta faggotry.
>>748804968>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LC8
>>748808178Nah.Minecart shits all over it.
>>748808142>>748808171>HRT MetaNo no, you're completely correct going by the types of "people" going to the Championship. Half of them are troons, or at least troon sympathizers.https://www.sega.com/sonic-racing-crossworlds-world-championship-2026?tab=players>>748808178That's only for the Festivals. The meta is slightly different due to the slower speed.
>>748808178>the truck in the base game is the default for core meta faggotryYou must only play during festivals if you think a Power vehicle is anywhere near the core of this current meta.>>748808030>i dont want to use the goddamn cardboard box.The minecart is by far, by FAR the least important part of the meta, it's for hyper min-maxing that doesn't matter outside of the World Championship itself. Any handling vehicle can use the meta gadgets with similar success.
>>748808254>The minecart is by far, by FAR the least important part of the meta>Any handling vehicle can use the meta gadgets with similar success.I know that, but it just serves to once again point out how fucking lame and pathetic it is that the compfags have optimized the game down to this level. Once again, I ask, why the fuck do people defend this shit? People see a game with so much room for creativity and expression in how you want to play, and decide that it's for the best that it be boiled down to one fucking vehicle (or vehicle class) and 4 gadgets of the 100+ we have.
>actually have more fun and more consistent wins in the Legends cupIs there something wrong with me? You literally could not pay me to play current WM but i want to play Legends cup against other humans and i'm not talking racing against shitters in bronze or gold, it's like this for me even in higher ranks. Why doesn't Sonic team just transfer whatever match making algorithm they're using there for the WM as well?
>>748808249Anyone with an online presence, especially in a community related to Sonic, is going to be a "troon sympathizer". You can't NOT be without the horde coming after youBut yes anyone involved in this is most likely an insufferable retard
>>748808417I haven't put a whole lot of time into Legends cups, but it seems like the best times are right when they start and then towards the end. In the beginning everyone is fucking around with it, then by the end the worst of the sweats have gotten whatever rank they wanted and go back to WM
>>748808382That's just what some people do. Some players find value in developing a build they really enjoy and playing that, while others find value in pushing the game to its competitive limits by finding the absolute best options. In a game with better balancing, or at least more frequent balancing, this doesn't feel so frustrating to witness, but SEGA leaves obviously powerful gadgets broken for months without properly supporting weaker ones, leading to a meta that's both easily discovered and quickly worn out.
>>748808546See and I get that, shit I play other games that have a clearly defined meta, but those games don't leave multiple month-long gaps between patches where overpowered shit runs rampant.If someone wants to play to win, that's fine, but fucking christ man, enough is enough. There has to be a limit to this shit for these people. I don't get how they wake up day after day and do nothing but just ruin the online of this game with their metafaggotry nonstop. I can't even look at World Match in the menu without feeling pure disgust knowing what's awaiting me if I go full retard and queue up.>>748808447Yeah, you're right.>anyone involved in this is most likely an insufferable retardNo shit, is that right? The people that spent like 12 days straight grinding Legend Comp 6 to go to an irl event are a bunch of insufferable retards? I could never have guessed.
What's that one gadget that occasionally gives me three red gloves?
>>748808706It also doesn't help that these guys are doing it right in front of us. There's no separation, not real separation, in matchmaking between top level comp players and casuals just trying to race. In any other game these players would never be matched with the average anon just playing around ITT, but here they're constantly stomping lobbies. In League of Legends terms this game puts Gold players against Challengers all the time, so of course people get frustrated. That's not satisfying at all.
>>748808908Just git gud
>>748808969It's not a problem for me personally. I like pushing myself to be better always, especially in a game I enjoy, so having the chance to play against top level players is great. But not everyone feels that way, and it's understandable.
>>748808908And see, now you realize why a lot of us just don't play the game anymore outside of Festivals, or in my case, I just grind single player in my off time. Why the fuck do I want to subject myself to racing these faggots when I can just chill out and have a good time.
>>748808969>mid wit response
>>748809041Gonna need to see the full pic of that Blaze and NiGHTs for research purposes.
>>748809139Posted this in a prior thread.https://gamebanana.com/mods/689096https://gamebanana.com/mods/640986
>>748809209Saved :)
Where is the patch? Did they delay the patch just so they can have this garbage world tournament?
>>748809209Much appreciated.
>>748809345That's been the running theory. That's why we're getting Miku Festival 2 instead of Avatar Festival.>>748809372No problem. They're pretty cool mods even if I don't find myself playing Blaze or NiGHTS too often.
>>748803863>Live service FOMO for the bad Sonic kart racerThis industry deserves to burn.
>installing mods for the lolz>Wave looks like this nowI have no idea what caused this.
>>748809345>Did they delay the patch just so they can have this garbage world tournament?Probably. Generally esports devs want to avoid pushing a big patch out right before a tournament so the players can practice in a stable environment instead of one that's ever-changing. Many games avoid this by setting a patch for the tournament and giving players the ability to play and practice on that version of the game while the devs continue to push patches for everyone else, but SEGA probably has no clue how to do or they can't be bothered. So we're staying on-patch until the tournament ends.
>>748809345Yes. Can't have their precious sweats actually have to adapt and change their playstyle.
>>748809440First I would check if similar people have the problem as you in the comments.And if not, keep adding the mods one by one and checking if they cause any issue
I bought the game in release but this constant fomo shit made me drop it after a month. Sega all stars was better anyway
Crossworlds threads are the whiniest threads on /v/
>>748811270Nobody cares, Transformedsnoy.
>>748808091answer this.
>>748811492We are literally oppressed.
>>748811492TF2 threads are worse when the Sniper whining crybabies show up.>WAAAAAH NERF SNIPER BECAUSE I'M TOO STUPID TO PLAY ANYTHING BUT GAYLOAD!!
>>748810260The sweats that were dominant in the silver surfer days are the sweats dominant in the RE daysThe man incapable of adapting and demanding the meta shifts in a way that lets him win is (you)
>>748811609I am a human being with a soul and i want to have fun with collision boost.
>>748811492Really? When they aren't shitting on sweats draining the fun from the game this place can be quite fun.
>no active festival or legends cup to sweat their balls off for 16 hours a day and chug 6 Monsters>posts defending sweats and current meta
>>748812068Quit nooticing
>>748812068that why I assume posts that support sweats are ragebait anons who don't even play the game
See ya in 17 hours.
>>748807820>I doubt that, though whether it'll be because of how retarded everyone at Sega is or because they want to continue aiming this game towards a more highly competitive scene waits to be seen.They've yet to properly nerf items, so any insinuation that they're seriously aiming the game towards compfags kinda falls out the window right there.
>>748812380They nerfed the drill :)
>>748812380>They've yet to properly nerf itemsThey turned the drill into dogshit. Clap.
>>748811929If it's not complaining about the meta, or writing blogposts about why you only play during festivals, it's complaining about items or metachuds stacking in festivals (while doing the same thing), or track design, or netcode
>>748808382>Once again, I ask, why the fuck do people defend this shit?I ask, who do you see defending this shit? Certainly isn't compfags, all the content creators are basically soft quitting the game because its gotten so stale and frustrating to play.>it just serves to once again point out how fucking lame and pathetic it is that the compfags have optimized the game down to this level.That's any and every game with a dominant strategy. There'd probably be more build variety in a version of the game that didn't have RE.
>>748812380I didn't want to say anything because I don't want to be accused of batting for sweats, but yeah none of their complaints have been addressed either. If SEGA is catering to them they're doing a terrible job.>race-ruining bunnyhopping is still in the game and worse than ever>items are still overwhelmingly aggressive>slipstream (sweatfags' biggest complaint) hasn't been touched>a ton of bugs like the kronos drop haven't been fixedI don't think they're making an honest effort to pander to them, I think they're completely retarded all around.
>>748812592>netcodeThat one is actually a legitimate complaint though.
>>748812623>>748812592Okay, Exponso.Can't wait to see you at the world cup :)
>>748812623>There'd probably be more build variety in a version of the game that didn't have REI'm actually legit curious what this game would be like without RE.If its anything like the lobby we had after the last festival I'm all for it. That actually had some fun ankle hitters.
>nine months to nerf UC slightlyEpic game balance.
>>748812752>immediately reaffirms the point by seething about some metachud
>>748812482I still don't understand that>people are bagging items to use at the end of a race to win>let's specifically make drill shit for everyone
>>748812592You're not wrong, but its not for lack of legitimate things to complain about.
>>748809041Same here, I've even learned how to mod the CPU to be slightly harder so I still get to have more of a challenge.I'm keeping a low cortisol level enjoying mods and jamming to custom music
>>748812759Slipstream is the only thing that gives anyone a fighting chance against it, so everything would probably just revolve around that. RE needs changes without becoming unviable, and pretty much everything else needs buffs.
The people must know, she's in.
>>748812759https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_1BVGgzTCAtl;dr>probably UC optimization/variations>pure drift stacking with TD/PCB/RGB>ACK + Power combos>more bagging builds
Um, where is the costume store update?
>>748814308It's coming with new modes and more CrossWorlds, of course
>>748814436Please don't joke like that!
Samir won in the end.
>>748804363Why else would people watch that shit?
Whatever the meta is, you will never be better than Shittens at it
>>748813227>I've even learned how to mod the CPU to be slightly harder so I still get to have more of a challenge.How? Please do tell because Level 10 Rivals are far too easy for me at this point.
What does the future hold for the kart racer genre when not even weaponized autism, brand loyalty and console launch droughts were enough to keep Crossworlds and MKW afloat?
>>748813950You just know the compfags would hate for the game to be like that though. There is nothing these people hate more than gameplay variety.
>>748820165both games suffer from a lack of meaningful new content. doesn't matter how much autism and brand loyalty each game has when their respective players are bored to death after a full year of doing the same thing over and over.
>>748812623>I ask, who do you see defending this shit? Certainly isn't compfags, all the content creators are basically soft quitting the game because its gotten so staleTHEN STOP PLAYING WITH THE FUCKING META! THERE IS MORE THAN 4 FUCKING GADGETS IN THE GAME, EXPERIMENT YOU FUCKING RETARDED COMPFAGS! NOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO USE THE SAME SHIT EVERY RACE! HOLY FUCK WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE SO STUPID?!?!
>>748812623>all the content creators are soft quitting the gameThis. I know KuSon is quitting because of the lack of skill expression (and probably burnout due to festival grinding but if you ask me most of that shit is self inflicted when I hear people complain about it) but also because after a year there's not much new to see for the time being
>>748819246This. I wish i had three meat riders to group up for every festival taking hits for me, slowing down to tornado people that come to close and never once firing anything at me.
>>748819246>You will never be as good at the game as someone who has people actively throwing races to protect them and fuck (You) overInsightful, now kill yourself please.
>>748814436>It's coming with new modeslol yeah right
>>748823760Just trust the plan.
>>748824025what plan?
>>748824048Trust it.

I only play offline alone or with a bro, festivals and Legends cup up until Platinum.WM was literally unplayable with the prenerf UC so i just gave up on it completely.I have no idea why sonic team thinks little Timmy with his 2000 legend 9 points will stick around with actual no life subhumans tweaking out on their sixth Monster and not just drop the online right there. I have no idea why they increased the point to 999.999 knowing full well this subhumans will UNIRONICALLY go for it.
>>748803863>want to play the festival>remember the mikusweats are going to be full autismo for this one>past festivals you encountered the same fuckers almost every lobby>this one will be worse>losing my interest the more I think about itFuck I'm having more fun in Fortnite even though I hate pvp games. I think I'm not going to be playing this one that much, but I guess I'll try to forget about it until tonight and see if playing with the /v/ros can help.
Transformed >>>>> CrossworldsDon't even try and @ me!
>>748825845Given that the last festival had one of the lowest bars for top 1k, I think it won't be hard to top 1k this one. The no-lifers chased all the casuals off.
>>748826083All Star moves are pure cancer.>Sit in narrow part of the track>Spam attack button>Nobody else is allowed to play the game until it ends
>>748825479>I have no idea why sonic team thinks little Timmy with his 2000 legend 9 points will stick around with actual no life subhumans tweaking out on their sixth Monster and not just drop the online right there.Sega and Sonic Team are retarded. That's the long and short of it.
>>748826153Yeah but this is Miku we're talking about. She's way more popular than any of the recent Festival characters (Axel, Amigo, nu-TMNT). I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being realllllly messy going for Top 1000, let alone Top 100.
I main Amy because she's cute.
>>748826439Confirmed for never playing the game.How the fuck is someone in last place going to sit down and spam his all star like a turret?
>>748827571You can easily pull All Star moves in as high as 3rd if some asswipe starts gapping the lobby with AGES or Metal Sonic or something.
>>748827280Based.
>>748827701Us Amybros need to stick together.
>>748827683>730 hoursJesus Christ>>748827571You can get All Stars in high places if you're lucky enough>>748826083True, but I never got the online experience for that game because I got it 3 years later so the online was a ghost town
>>748828567Yeah 730 hours. It's a fun game, even if it's items are arguably worse than CrossWorlds' items. I don't like either but I'll take the homing bullshit over the nigh-hitscan shit and aforementioned All Star moves every day.
>>748828726I'd argue the opposite, mainly because there's less items in the pool (I also feel like most of them are more skill based than CrossWorlds)
>>748830329No shit they're more skill based, nearly nothing in Transformed has homing. That doesn't stop the items from being annoying as fuck though.Except the Glove. That was based and should've returned.At least neither game has that dumb item from TSR that spawns hard to dodge rock pillars ahead of everyone. I hate that fucking item.
>>748830436Quake is dogshit yes. It was just a reskin of swarm but way worse because it was unavoidable half the time
Does anyone know when does the game gets a discount? I'm planning to buy from Steam and play with mods.
>>748830661I did feel like Swarm was easier to dodge than Quake most of the time. I have like 150 hours in TSR and I can count the amount of Quakes I've dodged on both of my hands, but I can dodge Swarms nearly on command unless they're in a really shit spot.
>>748830770Also, I hope I didn't missed exclusive rewards by a year.
Why does this game get posts here but when I go play online, I only get bot lobbies with 2 or 3 real people?
>>748830859Read the thread, nobody wants to race metafags. We'll be in in another 9 or 10 hours when the Festival starts.
>>748830924I don't think nobody even wants to race at allI regret preordering this crap, the demo was super fun... And now it's dead
>>748831048Plenty of people want to play, it's just not worth the effort right now. These no-lifes drain the fun out of every game they pick up. I've said it countless times. It's the truth, whether people want to believe that or not.
>>748831048>>748830859Also it's daytime and a lot of people have work. I'm working right now, check back when the festival starts
i wish there was an amy mod where she has this outfit
>>748830770>>748830813It goes on sale tomorrow.You'll get all the free dlc characters, music and decals once you start the game for the first time.
>>748830924>>748831201Literally this.There are other games I rather play than having to endure those retards when I'm just trying to have fun, not racing like my life depends on it.>"but why don't you just play for fun then?"Because it's not fun playing against those fags?I don't mind finishing in 2nd or worse, but when you finish 2nd while 1st finished 5 minutes before because they were Time Trialing all along, it's not as fun. And if you even dare to try and keep up with them it stops being fun altogether.They better introduce a non-ranked option for year 2 or this fucking game's online is done for. Sure, the sweats will still get in there to flex their micro dicks, but at least I can race without worrying about my rank plummeting down.
After getting burned on Arle festival I just get my festival rewards and dip...
>>748811492everything can be blamed on Sega but for some reason there's a fixation on the top players people here know by name
>>748832306>unranked racesRemember, at one point little Timmy is gonna hop online for the first time after spending 70 fucking dollars on this game only to be greeted by Exponso and Mittens farming those mystical 999.999 points for 16 hours per day and Sonic team sees absolutely nothing wrong with this and genuinely believes he's gonna stick around and keep playing.I do not remember Transformed being ANYWHERE near this bad and i played that shit for 600 online races.
>>748832624It's the drug dealer/user dilemma.Do you blame the dealer for providing the drugs or the user for seeking out the dealer, or both?Do you blame the meta slaves for killing the games online with broken, busted gadgets or the devs that enabled them all along while ignoring the casuals for nine months while UC was raping people online?
>>748832624>same sweatfags every race>same sweatfags every festival>same sweatfags ALL day>same sweatfags EVERY dayShit, I wonder why we know them by name...
>>748832306>They better introduce a non-ranked option for year 2 or this fucking game's online is done for.This is what I want for the most part. Just an unranked, casual mix of regular races and race park / festival modes. It can't be that fucking hard to implement.
>>748832852definitely the devs in this case because I'm not giving Sega any slack
>>748807889didn't sega win the lawsuit?wtf are you talking about?
>>748832053That's good to know! Thank you.
As shitty as the LC's are, there were like 2 of them that were actually pretty fun for a while thanks to banning the meta gadgets of the time.I had a pretty good time on the one that banned 2-slotters cause I was able to play collision boost (via Power Kit) and have some good races since there weren't HRE bots gapping so hard.No matter the ruleset, my blood pressure spikes the moment I get near Emerald Rank and everything starts crumbling though. Have to somehow quit caring about number going up/down, and every once in a blue moon you might be able to take advantage of a convenient ruleset to play for fun
>>748834201I liked the one with obligatory monster truck at the start.
>>748832875Truly a mystery for the ages.
>>748833494>newfaggot alertFirst, read this. It's important: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y1rXAYbYNVvCb4WMmTBPrn9Edlsqql69CGKd4utXKVw/edit?usp=sharingThen, make sure to switch to Dynamic Camera in settings, and change Turning Sensitivity all the way to 10. Also, reduce SFX to 60 to remove the auto-ducking effect applied to audio.Should be good after that.
>>748837347NTA but why does everyone obsess over the turning sensitivity? I've had mine on the default since launch and play just fine.
>>748837569I never figured it out either. If anything I'd rather have it lower for fine turns. Maybe it was spread by people using meme third party controllers that didn't have full stick range?
>>748838078I play on the keyboard.
>>748838078I always imagined it was a meme spread by the tryhards that use it to maximize their drifts or something, fuck if I know.>>748838346Who the hell plays CrossWorlds on Keyboard?
>>748838418Nta but one of the World Champ finalists is a KBM player, there will always be weirdo alt control scheme players.
>>748832852Don't hate the player, hate the game
>>748838529Damn, that's weird, but alright.
>>748831778Be the change you want to see, nonny
>>748839164I don't know the first thing about modding, let alone 3D modeling sadly.I did try looking into a few Blender tutorials before but it all just ends up making my head spin.
>>748838529Wait, you're telling me I've been playing this shit with the wrong controllers for a whole year?
>>748839309If I lost a race to someone playing on DK Bongos, I might have to rethink my life.
Did they fix the base audio on consoles yet?Didn't think so. Shit game.
Okay but when the fuck are Asuka and Rei?
Finally got the game on PC (60% off on Steam due to the sale) in case of the cross save leak being real. I suppose we'll find out in 8 days, unless it was shown off at TGS. (Didn't watch it)Just hoping most of the content I got on the PlayStation version transfers over.
>>748840254Probably not until December with the fact that Legend Comps are returning. There's one at the end of this month and likely to be one in the middle of next month too, with nothing between unless they announce another repeat Festival for some reason.
>>748827683>47/50 but has newtronsir, your yokozuna?
>>748840939I don't care for Time Trials. Only reason I did them in CrossWorlds was for the music and the Racing Master title. Getting a license upgrade in Transformed isn't enough of an incentive to make me grind them out.
>>748840436I'm not even very confident in that sadly. Unless they start speeding up the new dlc tracks (please), Avatar in October would likely mean that Godzilla would be late November/Early December at the earliest. Maybe the way Avatar was delayed could make the gap shorter, but if they're throwing in more LC's to waste time, I dunno.At least I think Godzilla's first? If you forced me to guess I'd put Evangelion at mid-late January.
>>748838418me
>>748842264>Delaying new content in favor of more fucking compfaggotryAnd Sega wonders why people keep quitting.
>>748840939>win top 4 positions with 4 local friends in a ten man raceYeah...
>>748842485I have no idea how to do the truck shortcut.
>>748843403I'm a coward and take the turn into it extremely deep so I'm driving straight at the truck from miles away
>>748803863>locking easily the most requested track that they held back from launch behind watching 2 hours of livestreamed degenerates that despise your existencesega can go fuck themselves, trying to force me to watch these browns and trannies is only going make 1000x more radical highway>ohhhh but they said they might bring it back in the future so it's all okayjust like they said they "might" bring back festival rewards and still haven't a year later, yeah that's really inspiring confidence manI wish everyone involved a prolonged and excruciating death
>>748805313no shit retard, they need to update the game to add avatar anyway and that's before it
>>748844775>they need to update the game to add avatarNo? All the Avatar stuff is already in the game, and has been for 3 months now, it's just not accessible yet.
>>748844884damn I guess I'm the retard then, I didn't remember seeing them in the menus last time I played
>>748844941They've been here.
How the fuck did Rouge know I'm gonna order some food before the Festival?
>>748845329She's literally telling you to put the fries in the bag.
>>748845513But my burger is already here, you can see it behind her.
>>748843324steamremoteplaybros...parsecsissies...teamviewerchads...our time has come.
I'm noticing bots keep getting stuck at the little shortcut before the water section of Ocean View. They fall off, respawn, fall off again, respawn again, until the game warps them ahead. Same thing happens on the first corner of Digital Circuit as well. No clue why.
>>748839271>let alone 3D modeling sadly.nor do some 3D modelers. just grab a prefab, swap the head, and add a choker.
>>748846209I don't even know what a prefab is lol
Oh neat, the thread survived the night. A little under 6 hours until we hit the track.
Why's Omega floating? Glitchy ass game.
>>748846396premade, same difference. think of the image posted occasionally where it's one off-model body but a head swap
>>748846534Oh I see. Still I think the actual process of setting everything up is a bit much for my stupid brain, but sounds interesting.
>>748847380Remake this but it's just a bunch of boxes.
>>748831778and is still that busty, right?...right?
>>748847854I thought that was just a given.But yes.
>>748803863does this game have unranked mode... legend 9 alone feels like a different game with how sweaty it is and it turned me off completely. the climb was way way more fun.
>>748849428Nope. It's only World Match.
>>748849428yes it starts in less than 4 hours
>>748849540no that's the hyper autist ranked mode, god please I just need to grind for 50 hours just get a top 10 title no one will give a shit about in 5 years I have nothing better to do with my life
>>748849535is it possible to simply tank my rank i would literally spend a whole afternoon doing so if it means i can get fun matches again.
>>748849829Not reliably. The game really tries to force you up the ladder until around Legend 3. You'd have to just get 12th over and over and over for days to get down to like D Rank.
what are my builds for this festival
>>748849969it feels like that unfortunately.... i hover around L9 and A+ sometimes i lose alot of points and sometimes i lose next to nothing.... i wonder if i DNF itll help...
>>748849540festivals are the only time i play.... i wish they weren't temporary or if they had more of the festival modes as just fun default modes for online
>>748850136As someone that's up in Legend 1 (and hates it here), I think you should stop and ask yourself if you have anything better to do than just dick around throwing races on purpose. I'm not saying I blame you, cause I'd love to be all the way back at E-, but still.
>>748850262>cause I'd love to be all the way back at E-bot matches are right thereor is the feeling of stopping shitters only authentic when you know they are human?
>>748850262i got the game as a gift and genuinely do love playing it... but its just not fun getting steamed rolled back to back to back only to have a pitty match that brings me back to all the point i jist lost. i went from getting at least 3rd to now geting 8th 9th 10th everygame.... festivals feel just random enough with player spread that it seems more fun.
>>748843403It's not that hard, just practice it in time trials
>>748845031I still can't believe that my girl Katara is gonna be in this game
>>748850397Anon, I mainly play single player in the first place. I want to be down in the letter ranks because those are where you encounter people that actually play with whatever they think looks or seems cool, instead of just running into 11 hard meta builds every race.
>>748850528I completely get where you're coming from, I just don't have any real solution for you. This is just what the game is for the time being until someone on the dev team finally gets their heads out of their asses and starts showing some love towards the casual players.
I am absolutely convinced that there isn't a single meta that you shitters wouldn't end up complaining aboutThe real karting autists will always have you beat as long as there is any skill expression at all, and as long as 1st is out of your reach you will use these threads as therapy sessions forever more
>>748850861Here's a question. A lot of the time I see people crying about the meta builds, people like you tend to say that the same tryhards who use them would beat us with anything they use, right?If that's the case, why the fuck can't they be assed to play with anything but the meta? Have you thought about that? It's really interesting how people like you always claim that these sweaty losers would beat us with anything they use, and yet strangely, you never see them running anything but the meta....Almost like they're afraid of losing for once. No that couldn't be it, right? After all they'd beat us every time.
>>748851037Shut the fuck up.
I pick the Minecart for a decal billboard.You pick it to sweat.We are not the same.
>>748851141Concession accepted.
>>748851037Daily Reminder
>>748851460>No argumentNo wonder every other board shits on /v/ all the time. You people are allergic to actual discussion.Keep sucking off that tranny compfag axe wound, you'll get a shoutout on xir's Twitter soon enough.
>>748851037They use the best gadgets because they aren't trying to compete with shitters, they are trying to compete with other people using the best gadgetsThe point is that if suddenly your favourite gadgets became meta, you'd still be just as unlikely to win any games
>>748851037There's nothing stopping you from using the meta yourself and stomping all the metafags. Everyone's already playing with the same tools.
>>748851670Hey if that's what you wanna believe, be my guest. The way I see it, these losers are where they are solely from relying on overpowered crutches to carry them.>>748851729You're entirely correct. In fact I have stooped to the level of using the Minecart meta here and there, and to absolutely zero shock on my end, I get 1st or 2nd nearly every single race with it, only really getting a poor finish due to items being what they are.Still doesn't change the fact that you can flip this argument around and tell the tryhards that there's nothing stopping them from getting good with an off-meta setup, but of course as we know, that would invoke a risk of losing for once, and they can't have that.
>>748851581You are here
>>748850861>>748851460Can't wait to see your posts in-between races while this festival is going just so you can say "see? I'm not one of the sweatfags" since we already know you faggots lurk these threads.
>>748851037>claim that these sweaty losers would beat us with anything they useThey would, but why the fuck would they hamper their chances against actually good players to accomodate you seething in 8th?You seem to have some weird impression there are two teams, the sweats and the based casual gamer dads, and the sweats only run the meta to oppress gamer dads.The gamer dads aren't even on their radar, at best they are collateral to them competing with other sweats.
>>748851971Once again>No argumentHave you tried going to the kart racing thread on /vm/? I think you'd be much more at home with those faggots.
>>748851907>I have stooped to the level of using the Minecart meta here and there, and to absolutely zero shock on my end, I get 1st or 2nd nearly every single race with it,Against who though? Actual skilled compfags or just normalfags copying the meta? Pub stomping is not a flex.
>>748852060>but why the fuck would they hamper their chances against actually good players to accomodate you seething in 8th?If they were good, they could do well without relying on running full meta every race. But again like I said, not running full meta invokes a risk of losing, and since these people treat vidya like their lives on the line, why would they do that? Get what I'm saying yet?>>748852151I was sitting around the 1950 - 2000 points rank in the prior 2 Legend Competitions, so I'd say I was competing with a fair few of the sweatfags. I even beat Exponso once, if only barely.
>>748852057>You either hate sweatfags or you are onePlease for the love of god leave this thread when the festival starts, I don't want to have faggots like you having a melty every time you see a Top 10 title.
>>748852340Quit the horseshit Shittens, we all know it's you.
>>748852060>>They would, but why the fuck would they hamper their chances against actually good players to accomodate you seething in 8th?>he says while they have to sweat hard as fuck just so they don't lose when we're going against them with our casual gadgets>they still lose sometimes anywayThat's fear. Fear of losing because you know sweating your ass with your metafaggotry gives you an extra bit of advantage.Can't risk "losing" points when you're already over 50k points from everyone else. Not to mention "losing" in festivals.>>748852340Kek. I'll keep calling you a faggot sweat all festival. Deal with it.
>>748851907>The way I see it, these losers are where they are solely from relying on overpowered crutches to carry them.The same people winning with UC are now winning with RE, and were the same people winning in the 2 slot banned LCFact is, you just don't have what it takes and can only cope in these threads about how is things were slightly different you'd totally be the best with your quirky off meta ACK set
>>748852083FUCK YOU!
>>748852449Once again, if that's what you wanna believe, be my guest. It's not really my job to change the minds of retards on /v/ that think trannies who play a video game for unironically 100 hours straight are cool or good.I know I'm good at the game, whether you think so or not.>>748852531>No argument

Compfags, everyone.

>>748852830Me? I don't. I don't know why you assume that just because I'm not a seething scrublord like you.
>ITT: Comptrannies trying to rile people up before the FestivalShouldn't you fucking losers be getting ready to go to the World Championship? Gotta make sure you're in tip top shape to spam drifts in a cardboard box with 23 other people that are also spamming drifts in cardboard boxes.
>>748853069Yes yes everyone you don't like is the je- I mean tra- I mean comptards and you definitely aren't just mentally ill
>>748853158>Someone that enjoys video games being fun is mentally ill>But the people that play for days in a row without stopping and cut their penises off are just fineYeah I don't see why anyone would think the compfags are in the thread with us.
>>748853069At this point I'm fine with getting my 1000 points and leaving these top 10 faggots felating each other for the rest of the weekend. Seems like that's what they want from the game anyway, a place to race time trials while online. >>748853158See?
This thread gives real "I play shit tier characters to shelter my ego" energyVery common in fighting games
Do you guys use default music or only pick songs you like for the jukebox?
>>748853307Default for laps 1 and 2, my favorites for lap 3 when I need to hype it up the most.
>>748853273I love kart racers but I would NEVER EVER TRY TO GO FAST IN THEMthats for...le comptards
>>748853272Yeah I don't blame you. I'm not sure how much I'll play. Just depends on how chill the lobbies are and how often we run into these fuckface no-lifers.>>748853307>I just went in and added in a lot of the random animu moosic to my Jukebox list and it's pretty cool. I have those plus Majima's theme, the Persona 5 music, and a few other random songs.
>>748853069No one's making you have a melty every time someone mentions compfags. No one fucking cares and no one wants to hear you faggots pissing and shitting all day about them, we just want to play the fucking game
>>748853383Basically this. Hate the chanting that's forced into the final laps. Though mods may fix that.
>>748852979I don't know how they put up with those lobbies, the game is so fucking slow without gadgets
>>748853428I didn't mean to greentext that, whoops.
>>748853307Lap 3: ITS SONIC RACIIIIIIIING ALL AROUND THE WORLD

>>748853429>No one fucking caresClearly you do if it pisses you off enough to keep seething over our desire to see the game not be turned into>RUN THIS ONE EXACT BUILD AND NOTHING ELSE EVER WOOOOO!!!!!>we just want to play the fucking gameYeah so do we, but that's kinda hard when we're completely fucked from the get-go because people like you are incapable of not sweating your axe wounds off.
SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOM SONIC BOOM
is there some microsoft contract where minecraft has to be op in crossovers
>>748853649Crying about it on /v/ every fucking day is not changing the meta, you're just annoying everyone for daring to suggest that good players will be good regardless of the state of the game. Go shit up Sega's customer emails if you want to vent about the meta.
>>748853539Yes, I just hate that it's (hopefully temporarily) locked behind Twitch drops
I for one have whining about meta fatigue
>>748853852>you're just annoying everyone for daring to suggest that good players will be good regardless of the state of the game.And again, it all loops back to this post >>748851037If they're so good, they would be capable of winning without running full meta, but you never see them running anything else. How else is anyone supposed to interpret it beyond they're too horrified by the prospect of losing that they have to run meta and nothing else ever? Stop turning a blind eye to how much these faggots ruin the game.
>>748851037in smash 4 the best players players played bayonetta, that's what happens when there's a clear strongest pick, the best players use it>...Almost like they're afraid of losing for once.the people playing to win are playing to win, no shitthe sooner the no gadget LC comes the better, but I've seen already the>nah man, they're fucking cheatingcope preloaded for when it comesit's all so tiresome, I don't even know why it's so contentious for some of you to just acknowledge that there may be players better than you, I don't know why it matters so much to you guys, the fact we take wins against them in festivals as often as we do is commendable in the end I truly don't understand why either the trannies or you guys care so much about who's the most skilled at a mascot racer, I guess I'm just not on that level of autist
>>748853993see >>748852449
>>748853993You're literally too stupid to even comprehend the argument
>>748854082>>748854191I'm surrounded by retards no matter where I go, holy shit. No wonder I keep a bottle of ibuprofen on my desk, with how many headaches I get from engaging with people this retarded.
>he takes drugs because he gets so angry at people on the internet
The notion that the people that run meta are scared of losing seems backwards to me, because running the meta is the only time losing mattersIf you're running some retarded shit that you know is bad, losing just becomes part or the course, there is no ego damage because "well, what did I expect, my opponents just have better karts"But if you're running the best thing, and you lose, that can only be because you suck ass, and that's a lot worse for your self esteem
I tried playing the other day but in each lobby there's always one or two guys with 50billion points that are 6 minutes ahead of the entire race so what's the point?I'm also bummed they put in a fake pirate instead of Vyse
>metafaggots whine about /v/ whining about metafaggots>they still comes to /v/ to whine about the whiningYou must love reading us insulting you every festival, you faggots. Go prepare your diapers for the Miku festival before is too late and you shit all over your mom's basement.
>>748853993They could beat you with no gadgets, but they aren't competing with you lil gupThey are trying to compete with players who actually try to go as fast as possible in the racing game
>>748854564>there is no point in racing if I can't be first despite being shitkind of an egocentric attitude, ya?
Don't care about all this metashit, I just bagged when I played. Speaking of which, that was like 6 months ago, at least. They started addressing bagging when I left. Is it still as possible?
The notion of a racing thread on /v/ actually trying to shame its participants for optimizing for speed in a racing game would be really funny, if it wasn't so damn sad
>>748853273people do this shit all the time in Tekken and it's fucking annoying because they'll always find that one thing your character does to win and call it a carry while ignoring literally everything else, including the things their own character does to winpeople are also trying to do this shit in Avatar Legends but every character in that game is broken-good so it's starting to settle down a bit into the more fun Marvel (vs Capcom) mindset
>>748854747no fun in playing when you know you're gonna before the race startsbut I know people find that hard to understand
>>748854910>racing game*party racing gameYou guys tend to forget this is supposed to be a fun family friendly party game. But Sega is on your side, so what the fuck do I know.
>Just git good with your own build>Meanwhile Hyper Ring Engine having a flat speed increase for just existing plus another extremely overtuned speed increase for holding one ringI'll get right on that.
>>748855125still a racing game
>>748855125it us fun to go fast
>>748853428>Just depends on how chill the lobbiesThat's normally my lobbies until we run into shittens. Then its like shit man, guess we have to actually try.
>>748855419It's most lobbies to be honest. You guys are fun to play with as a team, it's just exhausting racing these degenerates.Honestly it's really amusing to sit back and witness their utter lack of awareness as to how much everyone actually hates them, but what can you do?
>>748855038>people are also trying to do this shit in Avatar Legends but every character in that game is broken-goodif only sega could fucking balance their game, but no we're trapped in a infinite cycle of one dominate strategy that tryhard trannies pick up and shit on the general playerbase with whilst anons constantly seethe about it and circlejerk about how they're better for not using it for x months until it's nerfed and some new shit is added to enable another dominate strategyI fucking hate everyone
>>748855809if it's any consolation, i hate you too anon.i also hate myself.
>>748855809>>748855870I love you both though. But I do hate myself.
>>748855992ahahaha.i suddenly feel a lot less tense and pissed off now.
>>748855125>a fun family friendly party gameThis is a concept that is fundamentally at odds with playing a game online. People online are not your friends (unless you are playing with /v/). You are not going to have a laugh at whatever antics happen and you will likely never see them again. In addition to that, the idea that a game needs to be designed specifically to be a party game is flawed. Playing games with your family and friends is fun because they are your family and friends. Any game, no matter how competitive, will be just as fun when everyone is reasonably on the same level. I really don't think any game with online play should be designed in a way to target people playing locally with casual friends. >But Sega is on your sideThey aren't own a side. The game's balance is an absolute mess of unfun randomness that does its best to make being near the front as painful as possible. A few autists being able to out play most people doesn't change that they are aiming for the Mario Kart strategy and just made it worse.
>>748856072>They aren't own a side. The game's balance is an absolute mess of unfun randomness that does its best to make being near the front as painful as possible.They've had the necessary data needed to know what needs immediate nerfing or adjusting and instead choose to do nothing in the months and days leading up to their ultra serious event.Ever wonder why?
>>748856216Cause they're retarded devs. This is Sonic Team we're talking about here.
>>748856278Well sure you're not wrong, but being retarded doesn't necessarily equate to being slow. They could patch the game anytime they want to at least try and adjust the balance, but do nothing because the sweats love the state the game's in, where they can run their shit and have zero risk of anyone competing with them.That and at this point, if they made any adjustments before the big day, the sweats might have to play with the other vehicles and gadgets, and we wouldn't want a livestream that showcases a large variety of the game's content now, would we?
>>748856216This also applies to the things designed to make the game less competitive. Those also don't get nerfed. Why do neither aspects of the game get balanced? I'd say because the developers don't actually know what to do.
>>748856442>Those also don't get nerfed.The Drill got nerfed, because we wouldn't want a catch up item in a kart racer.Wanna take a guess at what kinda players caused it to get nerfed? I'll tell you, it was the Ultimate Charge abusing tryhards who'd grab one early on and horde it for the entire race with no risk of losing it and then pop it for some powerful shortcut at the end, all while the people in the back who need it couldn't have it.
>>748856585Laser still exists dumbass>Wanna take a guess at what kinda players caused it to get nerfed?Baggers. UC players were pure front runners.
>>748856585The drill would have been better designed to prevent what you are talking about from the start if they actually had a reasonable plan. It wasn't just surfers either. Everyone was doing their best to hold only powerful items because you are basically dead if you didn't have some form of invincibility at the end of lap 3. Catch up items are fine as long as they can only be used to catch up without making significant gain and certainly not as part of your strategy to win.
>>748856689You're delusional if you think the Laser is anywhere on the level of the pre-nerf Drill. The Laser is far too inconsistent, either taking you past 6 people, or failing to pass a single person seemingly at random.>Baggers. UC players were pure front runners.Retard. UC players were the biggest baggers of them all because with zero downtime on their shields, they could bag anything they wanted for the entire race. Their entire gameplan was>Hang back for the first couple item boxes>Snag Drill / Laser / Truck>Speed through the pack and start frontrunning>Shrug off any incoming Goo / Slicers / Weights / Dark Chao>Pop your powerful items for massive shortcuts>WinAnd you would see this exact situation play out race after race after race. Whichever UC player got a Drill first basically won.
>>748856856>Everyone was doing their best to hold only powerful items because you are basically dead if you didn't have some form of invincibility at the end of lap 3.Yes and that's still the case but the difference back then is that those of us who didn't run UC were vulnerable to situations that would force us to use or lose our items, while the UC players weren't. If a Goo was thrown out at a bad time for you or some asshole randomly threw a Slicer at you before you're ready to use your item, too fucking bad, but the UC players didn't have to deal with that.
>>748856689>Laser still exists dumbassNigga be serious
>>748857004My main point is that I don't think that should have been the case back then or now, which doesn't really have anything to do with UC being able to abuse bad game design better than others. You should not absolutely have to depend on items and good luck to have a reasonable chance of holding or gaining positions. The game desperately needs the equivalent of just dragging a banana in Mario Kart as a basic defense to cool of to the already hectic level of Mario Kart. The game is designed to be absolute chaos in a way that is not fun long term when playing with random people and it is unlikely to change significantly. Sega is absolutely pandering to the people who enjoy that just as much as they are people with enough autism to overcome it. They are not taking a particular side.
>>748857471>You should not absolutely have to depend on items and good luck to have a reasonable chance of holding or gaining positions.I'm not disagreeing with that. In fact I fucking hate that you're essentially forced to bag at least a little bit no matter what you do.>They are not taking a particular side.I still think their inaction counts as them pandering to the sweats though, since the game has been far more in their favor than the casuals for nearly it's entire lifespan.Sloth is a sin you know.
>hop on wm to warm up>get teamed by the entire lobby ah, now I recall why I stopped playing this slop
>>748858007It do be like that
>>748858007It is what it is.
>>748857698You are probably not wrong that they are unreasonably slow in dealing with a clear best option. However, the reason I stopped play and I'm only here now because of Miku is because the game as a whole panders towards casual play in a way that I don't enjoy after so many hours and don't think makes sense for an online focused game. That is why my priorities are different and why I would want to pull the developers in a different direction.
>>748858007>willingly playing wm when nothing else is happening in-gameThat was your first mistake.Maybe I'll do a race when festival is running to change my last character used there. Last time anon selected wm instead of festival and I had a character I didn't really want to have as my last used there.
Haven’t touched this game in a couple months, just hopping in again for the Miku fest, and I got really excited seeing there’s a decal of my girl Meiko as a reward. I’m hyped. I also thought that the Eva collab had happened already, but I guess I haven’t missed that, so I guess I still have playing as best girl Asuka to look forward to too.
>>748858915>I also thought that the Eva collab had happened already, but I guess I haven’t missed thatyeah that's coming up next year
Supposedly the game only has the files for the Legend Comp titles up to 7 so far, which means that an update will be required before LC8.Almost certainly happening between the tournament and then, which is pretty much what we all thought already.
Showtime in 30 minutes ladies
https://sonic-city.net/2026/09/30/sonic-racing-crossworlds-year-two-showcase-set-for-october-9-twitch-drops-include-live-learn/I didn't take note of this until now. After the tourneyshit's over there's a half-hour block "Crossworlds Year 2 Showcase".If there's any chance we're going to get anything more interesting than just more characters and tracks, that has to be where it will be shown. If not, then at least all hope can die
>>748860608>4 hours for compfags to do a couple races>30 minutes dedicated to showcasing what they have in store for year 2Anyone getting their hopes up is a retard.
>>748860608>thirty-plus whole minutes dedicated exclusively to upcoming contentI'm getting excited bros.
>>748860608They better reveal everything. I want to see all paid DLC and all free DLC for year 2.
>>748860596>ready to send invites>headphones fully charged ready to blast hype music>pillow fluffed with a comfy ass>pizza in the ovenI'm ready for another exciting festival hopefully not filled with much misery
>>748860608>tourneyshitshan't be watching>there's a half-hour block "Crossworlds Year 2 Showcase".shall be watching the inevitable youtube reup and crucifying sega if they don't reveal the rest of the season pass 2 lineup
>>748860608Will this be streamed on YouTube?
>>748860808Except 30 minutes is more than I expected, I expected a 5 minute trailer but 30 is actually something, they can show a lot in a half hour
>>748860950The article claims it'll stream on Sonic's official youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@SonictheHedgehogGuess I'll just tune in at 4 and treat it like a game direct
>>748860884Bracing for frame 1 sweats. I know how this goes
>>748860608>inb4 its 28 minutes of waffling and a 2 minute trailer of mostly reused footage
>>748860981>they can show a lot in a half hourThey CAN but I expect a lot of the time to be taken up by the hosts cutting in after every little thing to add their 2 cents nobody cares about.
there's some rumors that we might finally get a new patch this month. god, i'm so sick of ring engines, i hope it gets nuked off the game
>>748861553Its guaranteed to get an update just to patch in LC8 content since its not already in the files.
>tfw have grinded 8000 tickets in solo play
>collosion boostsfuuuck I don't have a plate set up
>>748861689Costume shop soon...
>>748861826Certainly more prepared than I, but I'm just working on Friendships so.
>>748861689If we don't get something better to spend our tickets on I'll have to eventually give that last lonely 6 it's own 9.Assuming it doesn't cap at 5 digits of course

>>748862171New rewards, but at least we're getting the rest of the Miku stamps as decals.
>truck Miku on my way to the finish line>Jesus girlWelp I'm getting truck with lightening next time I go out.
With this many lobbies going at once, hoping to see you /v/ lads on the track
nobody expects the default big to come out of nowhere with a laser at the end lole
>>748861996Truck SS is actually better than HRE for Tap
Here comes the faggots. That didn't took long.
I want her in the game for real
>>748862339I put on some gadgets this time at least.
>truck fuckers alreadyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IIZUKA-SAMA WE ONLY HAD ONE GOOD RACE
My Dodon Pa is fucking stuck after promoting Mikufest for 2 minutes
>minecart trannies right from the get godamn this is gonna be a rough one to get top titles for
aaaand we lost. not surprising.gee i wonder why everyone here fucking hates the tryhards.
>try to take bridge>faggotmiku bumps me out of itI was done for right there.
>most taps on my team>didn't go down without a fightI feel good.
I had about as clean as a race as I could ask for but even then with multiple boost items I just couldn't keep up.
>they don't know my turtles aren't modded
Speedy Shortcut is offroad bounty and 1 wisp + double wisp to start.I wonder if it stacks with regular offroad bounty for whenever blizzard valley shows up on ring grab
>>748862527I don't even hate tryhards because they at least give me a run for my money. I just hate that FUCK ASS FAGGOT TRUCK because its the source of my pain as a EG main. I probably wouldn't bitch so much if every kart class had an actual stand out option that could match up the other stand out option of each class but nope, fuck you. Truck or you're losing.
>tranners being half a lap ahead the entire raceliteral opposite of fun
>bumped off the track into another race completely

>>748862653If I didn't already know we don't all have that dlc I'd be picking a turtle with you. It's almost surprising I haven't seen almost any all turtle teams, even during their fest.Almost cause you look at their ugly asses and it all makes sense
>Please let this be a casual festival
>>748862876im gonna be honest, as ugly as they are (and they're ugly as hell) their speak dlc voice lines crack me up man

>>748862863Never mind, one of their sweatlords got DC'd. Thanks God!
Truckchads how we feelin
bruh I just got off work once I get my 1k I dip for my own sanity any lobbies?
>>748862993the rape has no end in sight
why the fuck is everyone using trail runner all of the sudden? is it now meta on tap rule or what?
>>748863052I finally get to use my old Miku TB from launch week so pretty good
>>748862653>>748862876>>748862918I do like Michelangelo. I didn't mind using him in their festival.
30281367Feel free to come suffer with me. I'm in no way a tryhard though.
>Get hit once>Game gives me a glove and a tornado in 12thI'm sorry you guys have to carry me. I'm fucking useless.
Bro I was BEGGING for a tap near the end. Tornado fucker gunned me down and I lost everyone all lap 3
>>748803863Sonic fans are cute.
>>748863112I love you Rusty.
>one teammate going full throttle front running the entire race>other two teammates hanging back in 11th and 12th until the end>keep getting 3rds...somehow.
new horn's cool at least.
>>748863131>see we're only missing one tap>desperately looking around>no one>oh god, this final leg is gonna su-OH SHIT BLAZE COME HEREIn a perfect world where the drill isn't dogshit I wouldn't have been sweating that final stretch.
Yeah fun
>>748863229fucking spitroasted
MY BODY IS A MACHINE THAT TURNS 11TH PLACE INTO 12TH PLACE
>>748863229but why is everyone on trail runner? i thought metafagging was HRE with minecart
Yeah, every troon who's playing this game is going to run the Treasure Garden Miku Decal, calling it now.
>>748863303trail runner is statistically the best power car
>>748863180Bagging doesn't work anymore. You can't bag in festivals, especially during tap, because the four-Miku four-minecart HRE team is going to get up front and do the same shit you're doing except they're creating an unbreakable lead.
>Minecart Mikufag hits me with a tornado>Then the Tails crushes me with a truckI'm sorry.
>>748863067Always has beenthe AI Knuckles squad never bothered learning festivals though so it wasn't common from top ~30 teams until more recently
Now that's the museum experience I'm used to!
>team boost>son of a bitch pacman still manage to get ahead of me last secondOk, I guess.
>lap 1>notice Miku and Pac are getting a sizeable gap>nope.jpg>stay on their ass all race>my reward is getting fucked sideways lap 3 and coming in 12thYeah I guess I deserve that for trying to keep frontrunners in check. Haha...
I'm bringing out the Cap'n for this one. Surely I won't lose as Majima.
gotta disband my current team, keep getting queued against teams that curbstomp us
>>748863319Which is a shame because Treasure Garden is my favorite of the Miku songs in Sonic Racing
>top 3 through the race>fuck up once in the last lap>bottom 3
Any open lobbies or should I make one
>barely keeping up with entire cyan team in final lap alone>boom boo gives me a breakaway coming into the last turn>weights as soon as I touch 1st place
Lobbies?
>>748863556Yeah fucking up just once is an immediate bottom 3 against these losers
The fuck did that magnet come from?
I knew the Cap'n wouldn't let me down.
I'm so used to all Miku teams being just the sweats I flinch when I see them.Of course everyone's doing it rn though
how the FUCK do I catch up
>>748863807so that's the neat thing, you don't
>COM takes the widest possible turn with the monster truck to crush me
ok yeah this new miku horn is a straight upgrade over the old one
Miku sweats not even playing the obj just minecarting to 1st place and the game allows it
An entire lobby of Minecarts. I didn't wanna win anyway.
THAT'S WHY YOU LEAVE IT TO THE PROS, YEAH VECTOR!! :D
Lobbies...please...I don't want to be alone in EU
>finish line>about to get 1st or 2nd with bro>gloved the exact time my truck endsNever gets old.
>>748863921For once I got to be the tornado nigger at the last turn!
>>748863303festival is a different meta
>miserable all race>super item box + final item boxes>monster truck + rocket + tornadoI hope those Mikus enjoyed my pain.
guys so i just bought this game, what's the single player things I need to complete first?
faggots sitting in 3rd with kbb
>>748863969Based. Also>15 minutes until Super Collision Boost
>10 matches in not a single 1sttempted to intentionally throw my wm rank so I dont have to be forced to race against these skinnyfat dorks anymore
>still haven't run into the other /v/ lobbiesI WANT TO PARTY DAMMIT
any shitter lobbies open?
>>748863319I just got ityou are absolutely right
Leo and Miku as bots?How long have they not been limited to base game characters?
new lobby76372099
>>748863807slipstream. get out of the pack/slipstream = gg
if we get coral I'm going for it
>>748864050online bots could always use whatever
For the last fucking time, staying in 12th and farming objectives IS NOT A WINNING STRATEGY. THE OBJECTIVE WILL NOT HELP YOU WHEN THE SWEATS ARE 1-2-3-4 SWEEPING. THAT MEANS YOU, JIMMY.
>>7488631123/4 here I think.
>>748864146kek
>final turn of minencraft>drilled>almost cost us the raceAnd here I thought I was funny for that dark chao.
we wonnered when it mattered
a fucking win, against the comptroonsa 3x morsel
finally a win, on a x3 mult too!
me on my way to play with an accel car and cost my teammates the game
Alright other /v/ lobby you can stop hiding. Lets clash.
>Finally win one and it's a 3x
Nice thing about air tricks as an objective is that it's easy to tell if you're gonna win objective by watching the other teams lap 1.As long as they're turning invincible after your team near the start, you're good to go.We don't tend to lose air tricks, but in the case we run into some supersweats who DO have us beat there, can just go all in on position
>>748864292Oy, don't talk shit about accel. Just git gud.
>be newfag>play festival>have no clue what I'm doing>don't have DLCs so minecraft, megaman and NYC tracks keep fucking me up>ending all races in below 10>still managing to pull my weight by doing the bumps/tricksI'm having fun :)
ok I'm done playing the objective since you can still lose anyway
>communication with title server failedAw hell yeah fucking love having to restart the fucking game just because epic shit the bed44314781
>finally get a curbstomp winim convinced running duos is the meta for consistent point gain
>>748864327Welcome to the game, it gets worse the more you play.
>>748863995Complete all grand prix, it's fine to do normal speed so you can get used to the tracks, do races to unlock Master Plate asap
>>748864325Does a 4th place finish make you happy? I would've had first but unfortunately items exist and worse than that, niggers who throw them at you at the end exist.We still won at least.
time to kill myself
>take 3rd>Tangle fell down to 11th because of my slicer
lobbies?
Got magneted and couldn't trick the entire last dragon road jump. Still got the most.rabbit go whirrrr
>>748864524what's the trick build?
>>748864490>>7488631123/4 here
>kneegur knuckleshm
>>748864465Yeah, that's good enough. Using accel is accepting you're going to get fucked right at the finish line by speed alone. Just try and be creative with your items at the end.
I dont even get the weird obsession with miku as a whole, most of her songs sound like robotic ass. Its just a cute anime girl as the festival theme thats making these guys play like their is a gun pointed at their head im guessing
>>748864540>Boost Character Kit>Air Trick ExpertBoth of those gadgets max out Air TricksThe last slot is flexible but I usually run Drift Charge Level 2.
>>748864571I got 3rd this time lol
collision timeREMEMBER TO SWITCH GADGETS
>>748864540Boost Character Kit and Air trick Expert. Don't put Air trick adept on top of this, it won't give you any more tricks, so use the last slot for whatever.Pick anything other than a boost machine, they counterintuitively get less air tricks SOMEHOW.Water sections are op. If you're on one lap 1 or 2, consider hitlting the brakes and farming a few more jumps there, might save your team in the end
>>748864664>collision timeAnd time to join you in your fight.
These aren't even sweaty races yet I feel like I'm fighting for my life.
>>748864714oh fuck it's finally time
> 10+ matches in> Not a single finish above 12th because I get fucking giganuked by drills/trucks/KBB on lap 3> Not a single win
does cb need the gadget on?
Oh god the TRUCKS ARE HERE
Zazz is the only logical pick for a mode about ramming into your enemies.
>>748864783YES. Otherwise only your team taps count.
That fucking bomb b4 water part into the middle of the pack
>>748864783Yes
>>748864783you can still get points from tapping teammates, but you should really have the gadget
>>748864783Ye. Team taps still work without though
Oh I fucking love this!
And that's how you win with accel.
ok, the frenzy was fununtil i got desync out of the track...
>lap 2WHAT THE FUCK>clip into the metal harbor ledge and end up driving through the ground into the abyssthanks I wanted last anyway
Getting Void wisp during truck frenzy is a special kind of cruel.Actually you get them back instantly so maybe it's best to avoid item boxes during lap 2 so you don't risk getting VOIDED
>lap 2 pure truck fuckeryCHAOSGODS ARE EATING GOOD
I just want one fucking festival without tap boosts, is that so much to ask?One of the most unfun modes that forces you to play like a faggot and now we have 2/3 modes being taps
>The compfags chose drifting over this for Axelfest
>Lap 2
>>748864975>Actually you get them back instantly so maybe it's best to avoid item boxes during lap 2That's what I was trying to do all lap 2. Seeing how truck recharges almost instantly.
THANK GOD I TAPPED THAT HARD
>timed outfuck get me in pls
>didnt have the mandatory gadget on>still win anyways from tap boosting with the vros in front running
>>748864634Trannies love Miku because she's exactly what they'll never be, a beautiful woman with long luscious hair down to wherever, it's still super long.My personal favorite design is the NT one.
>try cancel when one drops>com errorNICEFUCKINGGAME
d/c. ow
>>748865000drifting would've been cool if it was based on duration
>>748865046Same after finding match. Took it long enough, almost the 3 objectives without a dc.
What's the truck gadget build?
>>748865085Would basically be spin drift except you don't need a gadget, and counter drifting would be allowed
Well I sent an invite. If he doesn't rejoin after this race I'll post the code.
>>748865106As long as you have Collision Boost you can put whatever really. Off the top of my head, Acceleration Character Kit and Collision Evolution are probably the best things to pair with it
>the bot team had more taps than the sweaty team
>>748865148sorry sorry i was adding migu decals to my board
>>748865148>>748865185>timed out againokay ill go fuck myself
>>748865178those bots get freaky with the taps
>host communication errorOh don't you fucking start.
>host comm error before race againOk. Good luck, guys.
>>748865148Well, I'll either need the code or an invite after this race...It's ok, I need to [PEE] anyways
>>748865242>>748865265That race was a free meal too...New code 58552090
>second festival in a row where the two winstreak title is a genuine badge of honorgod I wish these freaks submit to their inner thoughts eventually
>>748864053Timrod, please equip collision boost.
>>748865318Last time I did it in the first 2 races no problem. This one took 3.
>>748865278
Go on without me Knuckles...tell my story
>>748865351well my wm rank is either a 2 or 1 so segas matchmaking thinks im equivalent in skill level to the dorks who play this 60hrs straight during festivals
When possible, tapping frens is still better than tapping foes, cause touching them gives their team points too, while touching frens give your team 2 each time
