I would double-dip if it had mod-support on Switch 2.

swc swa
Anyone here play the new Legend Comp yet? I'm tired rn and debating if I even wanna. Probably DRE minecarts everywhere, right?
>>750220726Yeah I've been playing it. Been stuck around 1800 because of items, fucking hate having to run DRE but let's be real it was inevitable. Just wanna hit Emerald finally so I can fuck off until the 3rd.>Probably DRE minecarts everywhere, right?Yup. That's all the game is. The Ring Engines are so fucking strong that their extra speed outweighs the speed loss from Less is More. It's functionally not there, and races are near identical to World Match. Good job Sega.
i miss playing festivals with my bros
>>750221308Oh my god I hate this fucking faggot meta bullshit. My hands are killing me and I keep getting raped by items at the end.
>>750221759Imagine giving a shit about ranking elo in a game like this
>>750221698I do too. It's far more fun than this shit. Only like 10 - 12 days until Godzilla Festival I think.
>>750221308Yup, sounds like it zzz until Nov 3rd
>>750221843I don't. It's not like I'm aiming for Top 100 faggot shit. I just wanna get Emerald like I have the prior 7 times and be done with it.>>750221939Don't blame you. I'll be joining the waiting anons in due time once I finish this shit.
>Use Laser wisp near the end of NYC where the giant robot... thing, is>I'm on the right side>The laser throws me backwards in order to take the left path>Drop 8 positionsWtf?
Really hoping that Year Two introduces a new meta vehicle because I’m sick of seeing Minecart.

>>750224159Yeah same.>Shadow fag speeding past me on the last corner>Throws a stupid fucking shuriken at me in one frame where i can't possibly react>Race overOhh man if the technology ever gets to a point where I can reach through the screen.
>>750220726I usually wait a couple days after they start to get Emerald before fucking off. Let the sweats cannibalize themselves.
>>750224159Is it true that they are going to buff acceleration and speed ?
>>750220726Hell nah.Although I may jump in, do a race, get 12th, and then fuck off until year 2 hits for the decal if I remember later (I'll probably forget). Fuck SEGA and these faggot competitions.We need more fun content, not more of these cock and ball torture comp shit. I really hope the longer festivals and the possible removal of top titles means metafaggots will finally fuck off from the game mode that was supposed to be for friends and family fun.
>>750224936>I really hope the longer festivals and the possible removal of top titles means metafaggots will finally fuck off from the game mode that was supposed to be for friends and family fun.God we can hope. Festivals are where the game should be the most casual, and yet they feel even sweatier than Legend Comps half the time.
>>750220726Day 1 was pretty comfy with a lot of build variety even at emerald. The little I played today was all DRE minecarts. LIM meta kinda sucks regardless since playing at 0 rings basically means the gimmick is increased hitstun.imo DRE's a bait/comfort pick and you should be leveraging bountyless plates - I've caught up to DRE minecart breakaways with Perfect Charge Boost without burning items, and Inventory Plus to carry more defensive items is a godsend - but you do have the best ring management and cornering with DRE regardless so I guess there's not much incentive to switch off it.
>Only Platinum in a lobby full of EmeraldsI love matchmaking.
They have got to remove the fucking Slicer from the game.>Get hit by one>Recover>The instant my invincibility frames end, another Slicer hits meHow has this gone unaddressed for a year?!
>>750217548>missed the chance to unlock Live and LearnIs it permanently gone?
>>750226374They said it would come back later, probably in the new store, but I'm guessing they're probably thinking about keeping it hostage until another championship kind of event happens and they need the views.
Ykw, i'm kinda glad we didnt get the new patch this week cause how messy the board is right now with the recent vidya news
It's Sonic racing...
>>750227410all around the world!
>>750227410I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't experience these bugs on Magma Planet and Urban Canyon. I had the Urban one happen once like really early on but they never happen to me anymore. Most recent case was an Aqua Forest race where I super overshot the transform gate at the end of the track so I was driving on land but with water form.
>>750227484Don't hold drift while going off a jump, you're just gonna fly out of bounds. Had it happen to me twice in a row on a Chao Park race earlier today.
>>750227410Stop taking those rings in weird angles, that's what get you stuck or glitched.
>>750227519Urban Canyon's destroyed me enough times that I know what to avoid in most places bad things can happen, but a lot of the time I get bumped into the danger zone regardless.>>750227685I went low to avoid the puyo then expected it to rubberband me up so I kept going down (it didn't rubberband me)
The amount of times I've been at 1840 just to get raped by items and sent all the way back has me tearing my hair out. Yes Ai Jetfag, you're so cool because you're threw a bomb back at me, kindly slit your throat now. Ohh man I'm losing it. I am not happy.
>>750227484>blaze goes even more flat.kek
>>750227907I should've named it that.
>>750227786>I went low to avoid the puyo>'wait, what? what puyo? the hell you talking abo--'>modsLove how people talk like everyone else can understand what they mean.>'and then shrek threw me a dynamite while riding the ufo, and you know how op that machine is'

>>750228098We're almost on year 2, bro. We all made it.Doesn't PC have the lowest playerbase?
>>750228390Time for a second year of misery, I guess.>SpoilerWould explain why much of the playerbase is retarded and hate fun.
>>750228754>Would explain why much of the playerbase is retarded and hate fun.Most metafaggots are PC players tho. The cattle just follows them.
>Whisperfag throws a bomb back at me for absolutely zero reason>I get sent to 11th with no hope of recovery>Faggot gets 2ndI can't do this. I legitimately can't. My hands are screaming in pain and I can't take the items and the absolute faggotry from people who clearly did not get beaten and bullied enough growing up. I'm done, I'm going to fucking jerk it to Shantae and eat a sandwich.>>750228914To be fair this LC outright demands you run DRE. There aren't any other options because nothing you can build with Less is More will be faster than stacked Ring Engines which basically tell LiM to fuck off. Blame Sonic Team for not playtesting their own fucking game and launching events with rulesets that don't make any sense in the current state of it's balance.
>>750229141>To be fair this LC outright demands you run DREMy comment was about the game as a whole. Can't care less about LCs.
>>750229324YesI know, but I'm just saying the LC is dominated by metafags and the cattle because of it's stupid ruleset. Trust me, I tried to run off-meta but you are NOT competing in this if you do.
>>750217548>>750217647cute official costumes that i can purchase/download in the console versions of the game, I might buy it if so...
>>750229141>no-! mommy said it's my turn to winlmaoget fucked nigger
>>750229445I would participate just to be a contrarian again (using off-meta and still reaching emerald), but not after my last one. I was left with a horrible jaw pain that me took weeks/months to heal (and I can still feel it a bit from time to time) since I was gritting my teeth from raging so much without realizing all the fucking LC. Never again, fuck that shit. And I'm not going to meta my way there either, so just better not participate at all since I don't enjoy it.
>>750229631Slit your wrists, faggot.>duuuh i spam items i so goood

Ohai guys.How's the progress with the current LC? I have no idea if I want to be humiliated by the same 4 gadgets again and again
I play spin dash kit
>>750232774I'm having fun playing other games instead of that shit so, pretty good I think.>>750233626
Have a writeup on all the shit I've tried at platinum/emerald. Maybe it inspires someone who does(n't) want to default to DRE minecart.
>>750235192This is what I decided on after testing before the LC began, but I usually tweak my builds a bit after actually playing in the competition. I'll get my quick emerald as usual and then I think I'll wrap up my climb through Legend 2.
Every time a new LC comes around, I remember why I hate everyone who plays this game except most of the anons here. Godzillafest cannot come soon enough, and with it, the Year 2 patch that will probably be a giant nothing burger, but at least I'll have anons to share in the suffering with.My throat hurts from yelling in rage.
>>750235192I'm just running DRE Minecart. I gave up trying to be creative or unique... 11 months ago? Give or take a week or two. It's not viable until the devs stop chasing the e-sports pipedream and actually balance the goddamn game.
>>750235503It'll be fine for emerald, but I was never a fan of drift kit outside of SSS personally. 2 slots for QC1 when it's the same speed as the other QCs is gross.
>>750236028It's a comfort thing for me, I've used it in a few other LCs already. Not that it matters though, they've kinda dumbed down the climb to Emerald a ton since the first LC so you can get there with pretty much anything. If I wasn't aiming to hit Legend 1 before the start of Year 2 I'd put in effort to climb higher since Emerald alone doesn't mean much to me anymore.
Ok, I plan to play a few LC on my switch acc. Any ideas for a nickname? Limited to 9 lettersFor now, I plan to be GetBagged.
I know you faggots play this, I recognize some of the names that I've raced against online that were also last played in this game. So who did you managed to pull with your freebie?
>>750237242name yourself MarioKart lol
>>750237384Awright. Here I go

>I Get trucked>I Get trucked again>Slipped away from another truck with laser and turned our top 2 got weighed right in front of me>3dhttps://files.catbox.moe/qewhan.mp4
>>750239360Ring Doubler with Less is More?Am I retarded or does that not make se- oh wait Summon Item Box yeah that makes more sense.I forget what half the gadget icons refer to most of the time.
>>750239547That's my special build to make everyone's life miserable
>>750239615Assuming you were playing earlier today, I wouldn't be shocked if you were one of the people that would just tear my ass apart with items as soon as we get to lap 3. Every time I'm closing in on Emerald, I get a race where I get obliterated by items and lose 30 minutes of work.Fair enough though, at least it's some fucking gadget variety, here I am being a hypocrite running DRE.
>>750221759>hate this faggot meta>in THE meta cart
>>750239729Gotta do what you gotta do. There's not much you can work with when LiM is forced upon you unless you wanna be an item spammer like >>750239360I don't like it, but what other option is there? Want me to swap back to an EG with my Air Trick build? I'm sure that'll compete.
>>750236164Only thing I remember them doing was extending queue time to ensure tighter rank grouping and less bots. I think a lot of LCs had worse (more random) climbs than LC1 despite that, and in recent LCs I've both seen usual top 10 suspects lose 200 points in an hourly update and been thrown into rooms where everyone is 2 ranks below me and one slicer is the difference between +8 and -30>since Emerald alone doesn't mean much to meAt risk of sounding shitty, the fact that they're adding a top 1000 title to LC suggests emerald was basically a participation prize. But I'll also go anywhere from 1750-2100 in an LC while frontrunning with the best, so from my pov top 100/10 seems more representative of time invested or item luck and isn't something I'm interested in pursuing either. I just play until I've had my fill of the ruleset and item CBT.
>>750239813>what do you want me to donot play a shitty kart game that was ruined by meta faggots like CTR was.
>>750240120And they are SOO PROUD of CTR meta.
>>750240120Okay well fair enough. I'm not happy with the state of the game either. I'm probably gonna take at least a few days break anyway before I try again, but I wouldn't blame you or anyone who doesn't wanna play the game as it is now.
>>750240120NTA but why stop playing the game? Just don't play the shitty LC. Problem solved. Want to torture yourself? There's WM right there, and if you want some mindless fun with a bit of a challenge you can go play against the CPU at max level (as long as you're not breaking it with meta gadgets). My favorite thing to do in this game outside playing Festivals with the /v/ros.
>>750239906>Only thing I remember them doing was extending queue time to ensure tighter rank grouping and less bots.They made point gain and loss a LOT more generous, especially below platinum. People complained about that a lot and now the climb is basically automatic.
>>750240217>>750240160i don't even understand how anyone could find that meta to even be fun at alllike lets look at CTRhow do you find holding drift fun you don't even engage with the track you just Drift and hope you did it at the right time to ignore everything>>750240405That's how i normally play kart racers CPU only and then wait for custom track mods or stuff like that like how Mario Kart DD had for a whileit just makes no since to me how anyone can find the boring no skilled "just copy this and only this build or you will lose" meta fun it's not even like you even accomplished anything you just followed a guide better then everyone else did wow congrats
>>750240405Well, for me, I like playing with /v/ros, I like Sonic music, I like Sonic characters and chillin in kart games. And the single-player experience doesn't provide much vibe
>>750220726I did my one race for the sticker and dipped. Also finally got the season pass since I just got a big bonus from my job
>>750240492>i don't even understand how anyone could find that meta to even be fun at allI don't. I've been very vocal about my hatred of it for months at this point. Like I said, I'm only using it right now because there's no functional alternative beyond abusing Summon Item Box to be a prick, but that still falters when compared to how stacked Ring Engines are fast they completely ignore Less is More, because Sonic Team doesn't playtest anything, otherwise they would've found out real quick that this LC ruleset doesn't make sense right now.
>>750240584>I like playing with /v/rosCan't do outside festivals, since we're opponents rest of the time.>I like Sonic musicMe too, and I use single player when I want some fun races and listening to my favorites.>I like Sonic characters and chillin in kart gamesDitto, and that I can also do in single player.Don't get me wrong, I have the most fun playing online WITH you guys, but single player is a better option when the only alternative outside festivals is slowly pulling out your teeth against the meta, no matter the flavor.That or just give up and go play something else while I wait for a new festival.
>>750240492The nerds and subhumans (like us) of society managed to find a place where they can abuse their "influence" and "power" among their kind. Look at Twitter or youtube videos: if you dare to stand against them, they insta-mob you and say "skill issue". The difference between them and us is that we are just retarded and want to have fun in a niche game with any possible gadget comboLike, Imagine HRE-tard complains about slipstream which works ONLY when someone is in front of them and they are always miles away from the packhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pFVA0IjY2I
>>750240584I like playing with you guys as well, but outside of Festivals we don't have much of a choice beyond SSS lobbies, but I don't like racing against you guys, only as a team.Single-Player is where I spend most of my time, especially with mods that allow DLC characters to appear, but I sometimes let my ego get challenged and then I play the Legend Comp and get pissed off. I feel the need to get Emerald to serve as some "Nuh uh, I'm not bad at the game" badge because people constantly claim I suck at the game because of things completely out of my control, or that I'd need a PHD in sucking fat nigger cocks to counter. I don't wanna play the LC anymore.
>>750240492CTR's drift and boost system is really engaging and fun, though.
>>750217548Needs Maria Robotnik
>>750237272
>>750241171>holding down the drift button and ignoring the rest of the game mechanics is fun bro
>>750241209It is fun.>the rest of the game mechanicsAll feed into and interact with the boost system. The game was built around it.
>>750241190November shop. Trust.
Never forget how Sega and Sonic Team are laughing at people like us who want the game to be fun.
>>750240904>spoilerThat's what I do, I'd be sick of the game by the time festivals came around otherwise.
https://files.catbox.moe/84kuil.mp4 Lmao. Someone was mad.
>Quick Recovery/Tech Drift/Damage Evolution>EG>Emerald in 1 hour 40 minutesYou have no excuse. If you can't get emerald would DRE, it's 100% a skill issue

>>750241804>Running DRE>Get hit>Climb back>Get hit>Climb back>Get hit>Get hit>Get hit>Climb ba->Get hit>This is somehow a skill issue and not the items being complete bullshit yet somehow not being adjusted over the span of this entire first year, issue
>>750241892Quick recovery is right there bro. A good enough player can get to emerald without relying on DRE as a crutch
God, I want this so badly as Coraline is one of my favorite movies, but I don't want to get rid of Arle, especially after spending so long begging for her.
>>750241987Okay but how do you expect me to keep up with all the DRE Minecarts myself when a perfect 0 Rings LiM is slower than DRE? That's why people are running DRE after all, it's that broken.
>>750242046By getting good. I literally just gave you an example of someone doing it without DRE. You have no excuse
>>750241804>You have no excuseOf course I do. I'm still waging. My seething will begin soon enough.
>>750242174I am good at the game, it doesn't change the fact that DRE is an insurmountable speed boost, especially when Extreme Gears are naturally slow, and you're running a build reliant upon getting hit and thus losing more and more ground. I would wager a fair bit of money that the 1st place seen here >>750241987 was solely due to item luck rather than any sort of skilled play in the face of such a broken meta.
>>750241051>be the best player in the world>spend two laps with a quarter second lead on the rest of the pack in your DRE minecart>some off-meta literally who catches up to you>speed up when he gets close>because desync means you're both slipstreaming now>immediate mile gapyeah slipstream does nothinggranted its biggest crimes wouldn't exist with better netcode eitherbut that's why anons have been calling this game's balance a tangled knot of problems for a year too, literally every aspect is fucked in some way
>>750242256Sounds like copious amounts of cope. He's running QR specifically to mitigate item fuckery
>>750242363>The horn constantly going off
>>750242363Stop death gripping your thumbstick
>>750242423And? QR isn't gonna magically win you the game. It wasn't a cure-all during the TD+UC meta, and it sure as hell isn't one here. You wanna prove this setup is worth a damn, post a video of you winning with it, without relying on items to slip through the whole pack on the last corner because you can't keep up.
>>750242363Good to know the build I was gonna go with seems to actually work. Maybe I'll try in a week if I feel better.The one nice thing about LC is that you don't have to rush
>>750242429I'd like to imagine he's giving him the old road rage with each honk>move you old bitch!
>>750242587It's a shame you can't hear each other's horns outside the lobby. I wanna be crushing people with a Monster Truck and just spamming the Miku horn going AH AH!!
>>750242429You have no idea how much it disappoints me that other players can't see your horn during a race.
>>750242503https://www.youtube.com/live/_bQJZKXa5UANot me obviously but feel free to study the footage. Even if he did have to rely on items, is that not a good thing? Proof that you can win without relying on the meta?
>>750242720>Even if he did have to rely on items, is that not a good thing? Proof that you can win without relying on the meta?>rely on itemsThe whole point to my argument is that this build cannot stand on it's own against the DRE build. Having to rely on items to secure the win just proves my point that it can't truly compete with DRE in this event.
>>750242363Yeah, and in the end, 3rd place with the same slipstream can't do shit, while 1st and 2nd kissing each other on the mouth and won't touch each other while having 2 defence items vs portals and Boo.I wish Goop was instant like MK Lighting
>>750242805The fact he can win consistently enough to reach emerald in under two hours begs to differ. A win's a win, and items are a tool used to win, and if you can win consistently enough to climb up to at least emerald rank in under two hours, it can't just be the items doing all the work.
>>750242805DRE lives and dies by items too. The only build that didn't was silver surfer, and that's long dead.
>>750242978>>750243024Reading comprehension retards, get some before you reply to me, thanks.
>>7502428893rd wasn't close enough for a slipstream. If he was, he wouldn't have missed the breakaway. Gotta be close enough to whoever enables the desync to not get left behind.I'd support instant slime if glove slicer and tornado were weaker.
>Someone DC after the race ends three times already
>can finally playLets see how this goes and if I can run into any /v/ros.
>>750244615I'm still playing and making ppl life miserable with item spam
>>750244615best of luck brother>>750244719based chadow
>>750244719I'm actually having a good time doing the same.I fear what's waiting for me at emerald. Timmys may be random but compfags are brutal.
>>750244615Send your suffering. I'm skipping that shit, but I enjoy hearing you guys suffer in my stead.
>a communication error has occurredNice to see this persist outside of festivals
>Wily Castle
Fuck it, I'll play just a bit to see if I run into /v/ros. That'd be worth it at least
>getting paddled at Museum>suddenly laser to 2nd>pop truck>1stSometimes it really is that easy. This slow starter shit is pretty nifty.

>I got hit, stuck, then fell off on THAT FAMOUS METAL HARBOR PART OF THE MAP

>>750245958awful innithigher handling/boost and lower power vehicles like Pink Cabriolet and Ancient Throne should technically be better for this LC, but I don't think any of the usual suspects care to adapt since they don't need to

>>750246448Weekend festivals have had a consistent 40-70k turnout since March depending on character popularity, and the compfag events have somehow had increasing turnout with time. I'm guessing activity's worse off those hours nowadays but there's an event every 1-2 weeks so there's typically something drawing people back.
>>750246976Come on, lets run into each other some more.
>>750246609>frequently>they don't last more than 20 posts>last one a few hours ago >>750225352Anon... at least in CW threads you can see anon's interacting and having fun/raging all day. I wouldn't want our threads to be like World's, where only the host post a message once in a while to keep the thread alive and then it dies anyway because no one seems to likes to chat about the fun, or lack of it, they're having playing the game.Not to mention the couple of sweats half map ahead of everyone else every race. At least here we can try to play on the same level with gadgetless lobbies
>>750246745>dk and pauline still have like only 1 costumeIt's criminal that they didn't update at all to shill HER game.
>>750246984Meanwhile, you can go to MK8/W any time, and you will see different people. If you got sweats, you just leave the lobby, and it requeues you into a different one.Honestly, I would prefer the same lobby feature in CW. In the end, hard sweats could just fuck each other, while others dodge them>>750247029I am trying, but no luck
>bagging on Mall this LCLesson learned.
>>750247121Anyway im in my Villain era. Gotta switch to Vector/Jett and color my car green
>>750247121The unfortunate truth is this isn't a Mario game. The Mario IP inherently brings in several million timmies to dilute the autist pool. Other kart racers will never have that benefit. Between both thread activity and my personal enjoyment I feel Crossworlds is better off despite that flaw, which is impressive in its own right.>>750247252>Jet>carYou're already on your villain arc.
>invincible finish Ah I'm reminded of bagging alongside Jokerbro during our legend 1 climb. Those were fun days when the drill was still good and silver surfers were an eyesore..
>>750247280Oh yes, I AM A VILLAIN
>>750247280>Between both thread activity and my personal enjoyment I feel Crossworlds is better off despite that flaw, which is impressive in its own right.Literally my exact thought. Impressive feat from SEGA this gen, making ME like this game more than its MK counterpart. No other Sonic Racing game did that before tbdesu. They're good and I had fun with them, but I would always go back to MK anyway.Riders/ZG don't count since that didn't really had a Mario version and nothing could compare anyway.
>bomb goes off in the hallway>of the 6 people there I'm the only one damaged>11thFUCK YOU IIZUKA
Just about to reach Platinum, probably not finding any anons before the fun officially ends. Already getting a tad more cardboard-ey even here.Oh well, was fun basically smurfing for a while either way
Got demoted back to Gold, ah, here we go again.
>>750247671I'm waiting for you in hell at the moment.t. being treated like a chew toy in plat
>>750247718>immediately followed up with a 1st at Donpa Factory of all tracksI'M NOT FOLDING I'M NOT TILTINGI'M FIGHTING

>>750247718Just got in a room of half emeralds as a gold lmao. Was wondering why there were THAT many minecarts so suddenly 4th ain't bad, especially since I tarded into a magnet last second
>>750247942>Crazy Taxi instead of Pac-Man0/10

>Coral TownOh n->communication errorIT WAS A JOKE
>>750248231I was fortunate enough to have it play for me a few times last festival
>>750248231I only have 100 tracks as my 3rd lap favorites, and I had it come up a total of TWO times the whole Avatar festival.Rest of them would repeat a lot of times, some even the very next race, but Live & Learn I only listened two times that whole weekend.
If you throw a bomb at it's second stage at someone right in front of you, does the explosion hit you too? I think that might have just happened, but it's equally likely some other bomb just got me...
>>750248350I have like, 10? lap 3 tracks and and 70 lap 1-2, so it's really surprising for me. I even confirmed I had it marked as a favorite for all laps today.>>750248356In festivals it won't do anything to you, but in standard races I'm pretty sure any level of bomb can friendly fire on yourself.

>>750248831No shit I reported him.Imagine how fucking pathetic you have to be to not only rely on Ring Engines, but cheat to have 3 of them.
>VS 8 emeralds>I'm still plat>Pumpkin Mansionwell this is gonna suck
>>750248891>12th>1810
>>750248891>>750248976It's really stupid as fuck how the game will throw a single Platinum against 11 Emeralds and then punish you for losing as if you're not fucked from the word go.
Meanwhile-How do I keep running into these?
>>750249194I started a game like a few times because I was in the middle of building a new plate and didn't finish in time.
>>750249194HIs goals are beyond your understanding.
>>750249045It is what it is.
>>750248976I feel you, anon. I won't tell you to stop, but I can recommend disconnecting from the pain. You'll keep losing, and demoting, and losing, and maybe winning, and demoting again. Embrace it. Just relax and play every race like you would do against the CPU, losing means nothing, if you lose then so be it and just go do next race the same way. Don't even check opponent's builds or names. Disconnect.It will come soon enough, or maybe not, but at least you'll still have your sanity mostly intact by the end of it.
>>750249280I'm running out of it is what it is with this game.
>>750249330Just made a sandwich and got back on the saddle. Some races will be rougher than others but I know I can get this emerald. Wont call it easy but it isn't too hard. And I'm having more fun than I am despairing.
>>750249330This is generally good advice for the game even outside of LC. Dumb shit out of your control's going to happen, it's not worth taking seriously.
>some twat throwing shit at me all race >still come in 4th by the endEat ass fag.
>>750249552>4th>+1 point
Got back to Plat. But its already 8 am.I am out for a nap and then will watch Nikke stream. Sadly, I got only Arlebro for a few games
>>750249475>Dumb shit out of your control's going to happen, it's not worth taking seriously.Exactly.If there's something I've learned from playing this whole year with a few anons here is that some of you faggots are REALLY good at this fucking game, but you all can still lose horribly to rng anyway. Let the metafaggots and their groupies kill themselves from stress and lack of food, hygiene, and sleep. You don't need these stupid titles to prove anything to anyone.
>12th>go through a cut and push to 11th>suddenly shuriken>guy passes me>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>shitverEvery fucking time with this loser and his dogshit fanbase>>750249608+10 actually. There were emeralds
>>750249702Damn. Don't worry it'll be balanced out with a -27 the next race through no fault of your own.
>>750249657See ya around brother. May you next session be a smooth one.>Nikke stream>tfw no BA stream until the end of the weekend
The climb to Plat is so boring. At least it's over now. Make some tweaks to my build as I went, so I think I'm doing the best I can at the moment. The ruleset at its core is really fun, it's a shame the Ring Engines are just strong enough to ignore it.
the fuck we just land in???
>>750249924Nvm I'll take it
>all these fuckers rotating tornados back to backHoly shit JUSTNice 1st Megabro. GG
>>750250054I'm doing another race, but I really REALLY should quit while I'm ahead, GG
>>750249846Eh, let them use it. Maybe it'll score an extra nerf for ring engines in the next update.Hell maybe I should play a game with DRE before the festival ends just to be another tally on the board for that purpose.
>>750250092Looks like we're dancing together again.
>>750250124GG again, got my Gemerald, DIPPING cause I already know what'll happen if I push my luck any more tonight. I'll go for 1900-1950 and get shat down to platinum in a few days :DHere's hoping you're almost done yourself
>>750250305>still minecart hell Hopefully you wont be left waiting too long at the winners circle. GGs my friend.
>>750235192Can confirm the third build, Perfect Charge Boost +Technical Drift is actually good here. Enough to get you to Emerald at least. Probably falls off in the 2000's sweathell, but you shouldn't subject yourself to that at the best of times anyways
>>750235192>Spin dash kit>Perfect charge boost would be a good gadgetHuh?????????
>4 points away from emerald>thrown into a gold lobby with fucking 5 bots>come in 5th>-10I just want to be free...
>>750251665It's "funny" how being lobbied with the weaker end of "strong" players is easier to deal with than legit casuals who'll prioritize fucking you over their own victories. It's not just the potential point loss that makes getting put into lower lobbies scary
>>750251619Before this LC I assumed Perfect Charge Boost's bonus speed wasn't tied to the boost itself, but apparently it does last the whole 17 seconds or whatever a spin dash boost lasts. There's nuances that make me suspect I'd prefer Inventory Plus if I stuck with it, but on paper it seems legit and I've seen people getting results with it.
>>750252002>apparently it does last the whole 17 secondsWell I'll be damned
>>750252002That's actually nuts. I wonder if the offroad-ignoring perk of that upcoming lv4 gadget will last the whole spindash duration too
I can finally rest.>got Emerald on fucking Pumpkin MansionVery funny game.
>>750217548I wish Rabbits were real
>>750252746Bery gud, back to sleep.Pumpkin Mansion is hell, but also top tier for bagging if you have triple wisps and ignore the ghost bridge
>>750252746>got Emerald on fucking Pumpkin MansionSame. It's usually an awful track for me too. Grats Arlebro.
I kinda forgot it started already. I'll probably do it to get whatever, but I usually don't bother with more than like gold.>>750221698It's been a week...
>>750221698Seething about LC just doesn't the same as festival night. But hey, good company while the thread last.
I didn't forget, she's in.
>>750255651Actually, she isn't in
KnucklesCHADS are emerald already, why aren't you?
Easter Bunny. Christ has risen
so Kit's coming with Surge, right
>>750260393None of them are coming
>>750261197just like Tangle and Whisper, right
>>750261197I'm coming, if you catch my meaning.
>>750262380
>>750224159I'm not even playing until they are Super Shadow since I'm hoping that's the real start and will have updates.
It took me 1 hour to climb from silver to gold, is that normal or am I bad?
>>750263316It is what it is.
>>750263316Even if you get first every time you're getting like 20 points per race and each race needs about 5 minutes between the lobby loading and race, so it's be about half an hour. So 1 hour is reasonable, especially with the way the lower ranks spam their items
>>750262924The 3rd is the real start yes, with duel mode, Bayonetta, and the City Escape/Godzilla track
>>750263873Who hurt you, sweety?
>6 friends at emerald
>>750241345Maria cute ToT
>thread still alive>>750265251>anons already in emeraldIs this a sign I should try to off-meta my way there too? Would you guys think less of me for skipping it while you've endured the pain? Should I choose suffering by my own hand, again?
>>750265615Love this art style
This is my most feast or famine LC. I flip flop between first and twelve place all the time
>>750266076We all have our reasons for getting emerald. Me? I just wanted to make sure I'm not washed and can still tango with whatever this game throws at me. If you feel you want to prove your own worth go for it but don't force yourself especially if you know exactly what this game is capable of.
>>750266413>especially if you know exactly what this game is capable ofOh I know all right. I just don't want to feel like the only coward who didn't even try. Downside of having you faggots in my friend list, can't hide the fact I'm skipping this shit.Guess I'll try for a bit later since I won't be using RE and I already know it's going to be mentally and physically painful.
>>750266750You don't have to do it off you don't want to
>>750266076I just wanted to have some fun with Perfect Charge Boost cause I realized this is the one time where it's actually really viable. I will say I think even DRE is a little weaker than usual here, gives me a touch of hope for the update, at least for a little while. Just play if you want to, you may be able to do it off-meta (not that i'd care you used meta)
>>750266180UOOOOOOOOH
>>750267315I want to play, I'm just not looking forward to playing in the current LC meta.>>750267472>(not that i'd care you used meta)That's just my own autism since I refuse to use any of the engines or anything where I need to drift like a retard all race. Bagging I hate, but I don't mind using if I have to, which I'll probably do for this LC. I'll try craft some weird frankenstein build later when I have the chance to play.
I wonder if being 10 days and likely no top-titles will be the only changes to festivals. I'd be sad if our tap boost wasn't the default mode anymore, but I won't be surprised if that changes too
>>750270009>Drift becomes the new default Festival mode
>>750270171Now you're just jinxing it. Hell I'M jinxing it
>>750270450Having any hope for the future of this game is a foolish move, anon.
Sonic girls are so fucking cute
>>750270896>tit with a nipple in yellow>butt in blue
>got to emerald in the first 2 hours with a UC/RE build>saw a bunch of top players trying out collision evolution, inv plus, tech drift, etc.>wake up the next day>DRE minecarts everywhere
>>750271247All roads lead to faggotry.
>>750271247>Believing Ring Engines wouldn't ruin this like they've ruined everything for the last 7 monthsBury your head in the sand more why don't you, retard?
>>750271089For one second you made me think I accidently posted porn
>>750271247>check rankings today>1/3 of the top 20 is running Inventory Plus>several flavors of Spin Dash and Perfect Charge Boost amidst the minecarts below thatGuess it's gonna yo-yo every other day while people settle on something. Nice to see some fleeting variety at least.
I wonder what the lowest possible score in LC is. I should've tested that during the monster truck one since I skipped it anyways
>Try out Perfect Charge Boost because everyone is praising this gadget like it's a gift from god>Half a lap behind going into lap 3 because of DRE Minecarts
>+7>-14>+7It never ends.
>>750274071At some point they capped it at 1401. Don't remember if there was a minimum for the earlier LCs, there was an anon going for it back then but I don't think he's still around.
Crossworlds made me realize I hate double items in kart racers. Made MK8DX too chaotic, made World a fucking shitshow, and it made Crossworlds bullshit when like 1/3 of the items are red shell equivalents. It worked in Double Dash, but that's really it.
>>750274859It works in Double Dash (and Gensou Skydrift) because you're forced to make a commitment in swapping characters to use both of your items.
>>750274751>there was an anon going for it back then but I don't think he's still aroundI was one of those who did that for the first LC (got to platinum then de-ranked all the way down) before they locked it to 1400 by the second one and I gave up after that since it wasn't as funny.
>>750274751>>750275952I think I remember that come to think. Sad we can't go for NAMBAH WANN
Got emerald finally. Not even looking at this game in my library again until the 3rd. See you guys for GodzillaFest.
>>750246251I’m at a loss of words
>>750247084Big shame
>>750266413Soulful advertisement poster
>>750217548I wanna touch the game again AFTER the new patch hits.I am a little too sick of the current balancing.
I bought the game right after lvl 4 drift charge stopped being meta. Ring engine is all I have ever know
>>750274859>>750274981What's the point of attack items anyways? 90% of the time you don't want it. It makes you go up one place at best. Everyone wants short cut items.Is throwing shit at each other the only way to make racing games feel like there is interaction between the players?
>>750274981Gensou Skydrift had the added layer of swapping also changing your "vehicle" as an extra tradeoff statwise. For a 2015 shitpost indie it had some surprisingly solid ideas.
>>750217548
>>750278026As simple as that game looks, it's surprisingly deep. I'll say though, Yukari's special spell is fucking useless.It's supposed to teleport you ahead of a few people, but 90% of the time you'll barely gain any ground at all, and might even lose some if you use it. That said I feel like this game's character-unique spells are a nice evolution on Transformed's All-Star moves, cause those were and still are pure cancer to play against.
>>750276248Yeah, I was doing it exactly for that, just go all the way to 0, but the minimum that time was exactly 1200. I reached that exact number but next race I didn't notice someone way behind me and it made me gain some points, then when I try losing them next race it didn't let me go back and just stopped at 1201, same with the 1400 limit now.Ok I'll be ready for some suffering in a while after Fortnite does whatever in a few minutes. Will probably change Quick Recovery for Wisp Hoarder Kit if I don't feel like it helps me that much.
>>750277787>Is throwing shit at each other the only way to make racing games feel like there is interaction between the players?Yes? Otherwise we'd just have a racing game where people are mashing the item button to use their guaranteed boosts every item box, and that's fucking boring.What we need is a complete overhaul of CrossWorlds' items to be more like Transformed's or (most of) TSR's fuck the earthquake though, that item has always been the most annoying shit ever because everything having some kind of homing or stealing your items or stunning you for eons makes the game feel like shit.
>start in silver first race>one slicer>10th and deranked to bronze alreadyExcellent start. Can't wait to suffer more.https://files.catbox.moe/ukabtj.mp4
>>750281030Based music at least. They have got to do something about this fucking item.

>>750281994Even as a shitpost I hate it.
>>750282171And you just know the compfags would be frothing at the mouth to claim it's not overpowered.
>>750282631But it's not? There's skills at play here. You need to keep those rings above 100 with PCB (really hard no joke), you also need to be careful and take all the good shortcuts (also really hard), then you have to manage all your items just in case your rings somehow drop below 100 (extremely important). The gadget is not OP and is a healthy meta. Everyone can equip the gadget so why don't everyone just use it too instead of whining? Also you're a scrub, get good.

>have emerald>shitposting jeet can't tell you to git gud
>>750283836NTA but I've been playing since the ONT and I still suck as well. Still got Emerald but I had to rely on meta shit. Don't let it get to you, this game is bullshit on the best of days and unplayable on the worst.
>>750284020I know he's trolling, I'm just feeding him. I do suck tho, but that's normal since I don't follow the meta and I'm not a basement dweller.
>>750284217>SpoilerAh okay, figured but still.>I do suck tho, but that's normal since I don't follow the meta and I'm not a basement dweller.Not following the meta doesn't mean you suck. You can absolutely git gud with your preferred off-meta build and still lose every race, that's just the nature of a game this unbalanced in the favor of compfags.
>use damage evolution>1 or no hits all race every race>don't use damage evolution>barrage of items all race every race
>>750278341Wish I hadn't been late to the party for it. Only played it offline since matchmaking was dead and I wasn't interested in joining a d*scord to get floored by 20 autists with a several year head start. But I'd written off kart racers after MKWii, so I can at least partly credit it for me getting into Crossworlds.>Yukari's specialIt's literally Warp Ring, isn't it? I figure that gadget's banned from online for being equally nonfunctional with Japanese netcode.
>>750286415It's supposed to be like Warp Ring, but it's really really shit since it says it's supposed to warp you ahead of a few people, but often times doesn't. You're much better off picking basically anyone else with good drift over Yukari.>Only played it offline since matchmaking was dead and I wasn't interested in joining a d*scord to get floored by 20 autists with a several year head start.I'd be down to play it with some of the anons from here if we had enough to get a full lobby going on.

burenyuu~
>>750288957I love this mod so much. Only reason I'll ever play Charmy.
>>750288735I heard it was getting buffed along with speed and accel cars
can't wait for a whole second year of desync robbing everyone
>>750289373Would but nice.>Speed and Accel buffWon't matter if snaking isn't nerfed in some way. Drift spamming is way too strong for anything but Handling and Boost to compete, and for Power to cope that it can compete, especially given the gadget meta.
>faggot tornado me while I'm in 12th already>see him get tornado'd a few seconds later>doesn't move for a moment>sudden black screen>...>"host dc'd"Kek. Don't you lose points anyway for disconnecting like that? I understand getting mad, but man...
>>750289607Don't see that happening sadly

>12th>use truck>make my way to 9th cutting all shortcuts>everyone else too far ahead to reach anyway>about to reach finish line still trucking>3 drills pass me by at mach fuck>12thI hate that these fucking items don't work when I use them but everyone else's fuck me every single time.
>>750289373Wonder what they'll do for those vehicle types. I think since accel has several flying characters and the lowest boost stat it'd be fitting to give it much stronger and longer air trick boosts. Speed should have some kind of speed cap increase, but I don't know how you implement that in a way that's meaningful but not broken; higher boost cap would be instantly meta, higher slipstream cap just makes it power 2. Maybe higher speed gain from rings so it isn't as reliant on slipstream?
>>750290541This game operates on a strong rule of thee not for me grindset. The only item that didn't operate that way was the drill because it was consistent in just fucking pushing your ass across the track like a bullet bill. Naturally some dipshit on the dev team said fuck, that isn't good and ganked it.

>>750292004Exactly why I don't bother frontrunning. I'd rather gamble getting something good and catching up over getting fucked sideways during the final stretch. >all those attacking items you have that end up meaning nothing in the end
>>750292445>>all those attacking items you have that end up meaning nothing in the endSadly I couldn't use them because that would've forced the creeper to use the truck, and me being trucked after (not like it mattered at the end anyway), so I was keeping them as mini shields for last second gloves and slicers.
>>750292004I hate that last turn of Mystic Jungle so much. I lose the coinflip on guessing where the truck or bomb is going to be every single time.

If I get a truck, I can and I will swerve into everyone I can because fuck everyone and fuck this gay earth. If I'm gonna lose, you're gonna lose with me.
I guess the real pain starts here. I'll take a short break before tackling this. Trying take it calmly but man, this game WANTS YOU to hate it.

I think Aiai is the most forgotten character in the game. Nobody plays this fucker at all. The Humans get played more. The AI Racers get played more. Charmy gets played more. NiGHTS and Amigo, the other returning Transformed characters get played more. Creeper and Alex get played more. Nobody gives a fuck about Aiai. Waste of a character slot.
>>750295647all the AIAI's got replaced with amigo (classic)
>>750296516>ClassicHell nah, new Amigo is where it's at. His new look is really good. Unironically has gotten me to play him a fair bit, despite not giving a fuck about any of the Transformed characters.

How many ppl are playing RN? Thinking to play a bit today as well
>>750294929Thanks. It wasn't as hard as other LCs until now, but the real grind starts here so I'll probably de-rank a couple of times before I get to emerald or give up completely.>>750297270I'm about to continue my grind to emerald.
>>750297543>spoilerNo shame in giving up. You're already at such an extreme disadvantage as is due to your vehicle, but I'll hold out hope for you.>>750297270I was playing earlier but stopped once I reached Emerald. I have no desire to play anymore of this game until the 3rd. >>750276569 Still hanging out in the thread though while I play some L4D.
>>750297895
>>750278973Platinum with this gadget set sounds tough enough, GGs anon. God-tier if you can hit emerald with that
think im going to play with thisgive everyone else a bad time
Should we make a lobby and play some casual races with no gadgets tonight?
>>750298298I think we won't get enough people here
>>750298032>6th>+1 pointOh yeah, pain time.>>750298032Changed it after the first race. Quick Recovery is ass since you never feel like it's helping you. If you're attacked at finish line you're probably dropping a couple of places anyway. Same with damage evolution, since sometimes you're not even attacked all fucking race. Collision boost I love, but I don't have space for it with this build.This one helps me greatly since I can keep the pressure in lap 3 when I already have a couple of items in my bag, leaving the last ones for last stretch and the first or/and second one as shields for slicers and gloves. Of course the real challenge is getting close to top 3 without burning my items firstLv2 Quick Charge does nothing for me but I don't have anything better to slot there.
>>750252776
>>750295647I like playing AiAi but he's not my all time favorite racer, and if they add Joe Musashi he'd likely get pushed further down a bit
>6th>+1>6th>+2>11th>-14Fuck that last race, man. Everyone grouped together but somehow I got the short end of the stick with desync.
soooo... which ones better?&which ones the worst?
>>750300035CrossWorlds is still the best kart racer on the market right now in spite of it's massive glaring issues.
>>750300035id still argue crash is the most high excecution out of all of them. havent played world but 8 was bullshit. crossworlds is a solid A.Speedstorm is the most solid B tier i have ever seen. it does nothing but its not offensively bad.
Ok I think I reached my limit. Can't keep up with the metafags at all anymore. Boosts, lasers, trucks, whatever, can't reach them. Not to mention the usual truck behind me flattening me right at the middle/end of lap 3. I think I'll do a couple more races and just give up for today.
>>750298437>Lv2 Quick Charge does nothing for meConsider Dark Chao, Ring Engine (for draining to 0 rings rather than using the engine), Air Trick Adept, Extended Slipstream, maybe even Item Hit Evolution since you've got bomb rate up from Wisp Hoarder.
>>750293594less is more just inverts the way the ring system works, so having two should make it work normally
>>750300035CTR is kino beyond kino, if only it had crossplay and a PC port. Transformed is a half-tier below it, really good. CrossWorlds can't compete with those but it's better than the current Mario Kart.
>>750300035CrossWorlds is the best one out right now
>>750300334>Ok I think I reached my limit. Can't keep up with the metafags at all anymore. Boosts, lasers, trucks, whatever, can't reach them.This is what I was saying. You can't keep up with these people without DRE because the Ring Engines are so stupidly powerful that they just ignore the whole Less is More gimmick.
Ah...classic.
>>750300628That's a tame gap compared to the good old days.
>>750300628That's nothing compared to prime UC gaps. I shudder at the sight of AI Knuckles nowadays because of what that character represented.
>e-stadium>1st and taking the 3rd lap portal shortcut no problem>I wasn't exactly at the middle of the ramp so fuck you>I miss the portal because the game thought it would be funny>10thI fucking hate that portal. Not even by myself I have a break from its faggotry.>>750300385I'm not using faggot engines. The other ones I can do but they fall in the same category as Quick Charge, I don't find them any useful in most circumstances.
Eugh...
>>750301262>That one Sage in an accel car.Bless her innocent soul, for she doesn't yet know the 12th place that awaits her.
>>750301262>accel sage
>>750300528The devs have to swallow their pride and realize HRE giving maximum stats relatively easily is not possible to balance. They either have to ban it from online or severely nerf its stat gain.
>>750301347Except they're not going to. Sega has gone on record saying they like and want to continue aiming the game towards the more competitive players, and the competitive players always use the Ring Engines, so they're going anywhere. They were banned in Festivals at one point, but they bitched and whined that they couldn't use them, so Sega unbanned them. They're supposedly getting nerfed on the 3rd, but the Grand Master Plate will just undo it. Nothing ever changes, and one the rare chance something does like when UC got deservedly nerfed, things get worse.
>>750301307I would like to use Accel Cars, but I use this power car front solely to have more space for decals
>>750300035>good gamesonic racing crossworldscrash team racing>mediocre gamemario kart world>blud thinks hes part of the team tierdi$ney greedslop
>>750301493Meant to type a "not" between they're and going.
>>750301347It's just a shit idea in general. There are so many tuners and shit meant to give you particular stats and none of them mean a damn thing in the face of HRE.Honestly, even though I like the evolution gadgets, they have the same issue. I know they have enough trouble balancing this shit, but if each stat had more effect, and were all viable to build around, it'd be more interesting to focus more builds focusing on pushing one or two stats as much as possible.Getting maximum in every stat for getting rings, which you want to do anyways, is boring
>>750301493>they want to continue aiming the game towards the more competitive playersWhen did they say this though? I've seen this claim before and when I asked for a source I was ignored.
>>750301552I guess the one upside to base stats not mattering is that, unless you're a total slave, you can pick whichever car parts you like for the vehicle category you're using
>>750301615It was some interview around the time of the World Championship livestream. If I can find it, I'll post it, but I'm not gonna dig through Sega's twitter and like an 8 hour livestream.
>>750301698>she makes us want to crydamn they were ahead of the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmD8I7Wd6LA
>>750301615i remember seeing a similar thing but this video is also a pretty good hint at who they want to appeal to:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf6iWCnfWng
>>750301828I remember this fucking video. The sheer backlash it got was hilarious.And it still took them another 3 months after this to cave in and finally nerf UC.
>Using item atk evo>Few atk item drops>Using hit evo>No one hits me for the entire game
What’s going to be the best 7th gadget for my build that consists of Boost Character Kit with the Acceleration Character Kit?
>>750302106>>750285440
>>750302165Ring Engine. Nothing else is going to be worth throwing in the 7th slot.
>>750301669I see, I'll take that bit with a grain of salt until I see some actual evidence then. The point still remains that HRE is going to be a dominant gadget until it's nerfed severely, making it a three-slot won't be enough. Reminder they thought Champion's Bounty was good enough to cost three slots, by the way.
>>750302165Mini Quick Recovery, Boost Starter, Ring Engine, Boost Mod, Handling Mod, Perfect Landing. Maybe in that order.Air Trick Adept for festival.
>>750302165the thing they are going to do with ring engine is that its going to loose its boost to max top speed and return it with the 7th slot yeah?
>>750302248Was Ring Engine banned from all festivals or was that just the Majima festival?
>>750302409It's going to get its +3 top speed back, yeah. Which is fine, but not completely gamebreaking on its own. It won't be causing any gaps at the very least.
>>750302445I can't remember. I know they were banned for a couple Fests, just not which ones.>>750302390>Sonic Team and Sega can't fucking balance for shitNo shit, it's almost like they're a bunch of dipshit Japanese boomers that keep listening to the turd world and troon compfags dominating the game who don't actually want things to change because that might involve them having to engage with more of the game than what they're comfortable with, and well... y'know. Can't have that.
>>750302165Don't do Ring Engine without 130 Ring Limit, the +3 speed from it isn't worth losing the +7 you get from having 100 rings.Idk how good it'll actually be, since air tricks are track dependent in general, but if you're using an air trick build anyways, grandmaster Perfect Landing sounds fun
>>750302726Thanks for the advice. I’ll try out grandmaster Perfect Landing when the update drops like you said.
>>750302726You can get away with no 130 limit with ACK since ring boost goes toward the same speed cap as 100 rings, and you get to leverage that a bunch between slipstream bounty and air trick bounty. I'd probably still pick something else, but it's an option.
ggs jetbroeverything that could've gone wrong went wrong lap 3
I'm stuck mid gold after demotion now
>>750303256I'm on the bagging kit right now so just got lucky that time
>>750303042Could get away with it, but I still think it'd hurt more than help. Being at 100 rings from air trick bounty won't help, cause you'd be airborne anyways, so you're basically getting a bit of extra speed in short bursts while slipstreaming, at the cost of being kneecapped while out of it.
Feeling pretty retarded right now, gonna play World Match.If any of you somehow have the same affliction, feel free to come get assraped with me 14751103
>>750303981Fuck no.
>>750301698C---- The Rabbit ToT.
>>750304042Don't you wanna see your 30k+ buddies who aren't in LC for some reason???
>>750304196No. As painful as playing L4D with brainless retard spics is, it's less of a pain than playing with CrossWorlds compfags. I wish I was making this up, but I'm not.
>>750304306It still surprises me that people are still playing L4D. I touched it like a year ago for a bit coz my friends were bored
>>750304575Game's timeless, just like TF2. Just isn't as popular because there's actually a skill barrier for entry to play the modes worth a damn.
>>750304805Just throw on 100+ goofy mods and run some campaigns, that's all you need
>>750304919I prefer Versus and Expert Realism but to each their own.
>>750301698Don't tempt me yet, we still have 80 posts to go.
Can't do Legends right now or any racing for that matter. I gotta rig the annual horse pageant. IYKYK
>+3 for a 5th against full metafaggots>still need almost the full 100 pts to emeraldIf I'm lucky this is only going to take forever.
>>750306109Make sure to not lose even a single race or you're losing the last 15 races worth of work btw!
>>750306195Come on, man. You could've told me that sooner.This is the first time laser takes me OUT of shortcut and make me lose so horribly here, fuck.
>100pts gone because there's always a truck lying in wait

>>750306682You want to suffer in platinum better?

>sliced by my own Arle brother during the final stretchCan't trust anyone on the track. I'd love to run defense item up but>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Void wisp
>>750306928Just came back from there. Either it's platinum lobbies where you have nothing to gain and everything to lose, or 3-6 bot emerald lobbies where one item hit or missed cut is -15.
>bad luck race after bad luck race>already down to 1724
I wonder if just sitting where I ended at 1853 will be enough to get the Top 1000 title. I have no intention to keep playing, but it would still be kinda cool to get what is supposedly one of the last Top Rank titles ever, at least according to what people have been saying about these being removed for Year 2.
>>750307664Yeah I'm learning that this shit is actually pretty miserable.I'm strangely having fun though. Last race some Werecunt decided to have a dick measuring contest with me. His own fault for throwing a shuriken on me in 11th, bitch you didn't think I'd single your ass out over that shit? Fuck no, enjoy getting trucked and drilled. Revenge > 1st
>>750307779Probably the same Werehog that trashed me three times in a row on Ocean View, thanks bro.And now we FIGHT
For a good minute there were relatively few minecartHRT fags in world match. They seem to be flowing out of somewhere now.Thanks for the bombs pointed at me alone, minecart scum. I didn't even have anything to attack with you two with, no more of this shit!
>longest water palace final stretch I've ever experienceEND THE RACE

Yup, going down down the drain. Sure I deserve -10 for placing 8th as the only platinum in an emerald lobby, thanks
>>750308692>bag and got emerald day 1>mfw being myself works just fine
>>750308850The first day had a variety of builds because people were freaking out thinking LiM was going to be impactful, which it wasn't by the way. You try that shit now, you're not reaching Emerald.

>losing this badly in fucking kronosYep, this is my cue my run this week is over. A day is enough for this whole LC, already did my best and I won't be lying to myself thinking this is magically going to get better. Like this anon said >>750308692 , I refuse to use meta gadgets or any other machine, so I'm not going to lose my sanity over an extra dumb title, I did the best I could, had a bit of fun doing it, lost almost 100pts in a row, and now it's over. Good luck to the anons still torturing themselves here.
Happy 35th birthday to the puyo franchise!Arle is one of the best inclusions to the game.
>>750308965Rooting for you to get that emerald back. >>750309187Tomorrow will be better
We are so barack. Thanks, Goop and Lasor, for carrying my ass
>>7503093262nd rep for year 2 doko
>>750309484Congrats Vectorchad
>>750309437>TomorrowOhoho anon, I'm not that crazy. I already did enough participating in this piece of shit event when I already had decided to never do that again. There's nothing here for me besides the fun, and that ended a few hours after I started. It's not going to get better, most people will realize that and start using full meta just to end their climb faster. See you in november tho.
>>750309437Idk, the rape is strong as hell tonight. I keep on and on and on almost getting a good spot, just for perfectly timed everything to come in, whatever I had going on last night really was luck it seems
>>750309674>1849Oh god, oh fuck, I just wanna end when I get back to Emerald, whyyyyyyy must you put me at THIS score help me
>>750226081This. Some items should be a 1 time use and after it gets used, it cannot be obtained again for the remainder of the race. For example if someone gets the slicer and gets used, that same person, plus everyone else can no longer get it for the rest of the race.>King Boom Boo>Slicer>WeightsThose items should be part of the 1 time use.

>>750300035Of all those, Sonic Racing Crossworlds. I never played Disney Speedway, CTR, and MK World. If you want to add another good racer, Star Wars Galactic Racer is pretty damn good too.
>>750310023>KBBThis is literally local blueshell and should be a part of the normal pool>SlicerRemove Red Glove, keep Slicer, but make hit power similar to Red Glove>WeightsIt's another alternative to Blue shell. Imo if both of them launched together, we should take a hit only from 1I would also prefer damage based on the distance between you and the target. A point-blank hit will be similar to an unactivated magnet or Green Glove with QR, and a long shot will be as powerful as the current slicer.Remove stunlock from trucks, but keep squish and MS reduction like with Big Shroom in MKMake Goop instacast. We have too much shit to dodge it, but targets behind you won't be affected (like in MKW)AlsoBRING BACK SWARM FROM TRANSFORMED
>>750278973How do you unlock the 7th slot for your gadget plate? Do the same as unlocking the plates before or did they do something new to get the 7th slot?
Ok after a dogshit race, placing 4th cause at least coral town doesn't bunch EVERYONE together thanks to it's shortcut, game gave me a pity +10.Tiem for a break before I break my spirit again
>>750310465Presumably it's automatically added next update.
>>750310465Nobody has it yet, but it will be added November 3rd so that site just put it in pre-emptively
>>750300035CTR is the eternal king, but of the current gen kart racers Crossworlds is probably the best
I wish that there was a festival this Halloween weekend to give me something to do. Zobio and Zobiko being brought back would have been based beyond belief.
Both number 2 and 4 right now use this. Kinda neat
so Amy is banned on /v/ apparently
How does Crossworlds compare to the eternal classic, Sonic R? Also, any good Vanilla mods?
>>750310814Considering you guys spam her a lot, it looks like someone reported it for fun and giggles.
>>750310758Bagging's strong this LC. I've seen at least five different types of Inventory Plus/Wisp Hoarder sets cycling through the top 20 the past few days. There's usually only one or two in the entire top 100 past day 1 in the other LCs.
>>750310814that IS a panty shot to be fair. i got banned for less (and yes it has to do with amy too)
>>750310814>how dare you come to my board and give me a boner lol
i wish the singleplayer portion had more meat to it>>750311086anything mogs Sonic R aside from the music>>750311698i don't know why the mods hate her so much

>>750312198>mfw when I totally forgot to try my usual build instead of trying something new just because the obligatory LiM
>>750312198Ring Evolution's the best, but you don't want to grab rings in this LC so Collision's the next choice.I've had rounds where I don't even get a yellow aura with just Collision so I'm not a believer in it standalone, but whatever.
>bump limitShall we meet again at the end of this LC or the next festival?
>>750312561I only browse 4chan / /v/ to look for CrossWorlds threads so I'll probably take a break from it and be back after this is over. Don't want to get tempted to play this shit again. See you by the time year 2 is about to hit so take care until then /v/ros. Good luck with your grind.
>>750312561Probably day 1 of year 2 to talk the new track and new builds. I actually cleared out all my plates so I could make brand new ones come November 3rd
>>750312561Up to you. I realized I peaked at #89 without DRE earlier tonight, so if this LC doesn't get crazy sweaty the next week I might keep playing. Don't wanna burn myself out before the next festival though so maybe not regardless.
>>750312760>>750312829>>750312847See ya for the update then. Stay safe until we meet again /v/ros.
Generals aren't allowed on /v/.This is your final warning!

>>750313126>you can't play video games in */v/ - videogames*Sure Mr. Mod. We'll keep it in mind.
have you guys bought Fortnite Sonic yet
>>750313282Yes, but I would've preferred Shadow.
>>750313282Yes and i got the Eggman bundle for free because i bought the game on the Epic store.Feel free to cry about it.
>>750313340he's in the shop right now if you want him
>>750313282Yeah but he had the unfortunate timing of debuting during the season with Sora, X, and the rerun of Jill.
>>750313376I'm a poorfag so I'm good with no-neck Sonic.
>>750313282I want robot Amy in.
>>750313394Oh wait, Zero is the one in my locker.Not looking forward to next season. Fuck you Tim, you know I can't resist the urge to buy a 4th Miku.
>>750313461eh, be lucky that unlike Sonic, Shadow, Knucks, and Eggman are actually able to regularly return to the shop, if you decided to not get Sonic now you'd have to wait fuckin, 16 months for him
>>750313536Technically 5th
>>750313536Teto is coming to the store, btw.
>>750313573>16 months excuse me
>>750313573Metal's going to hurt if he looks good, since he's one of the few male characters in this series I really like a lot.
>>750313282I got all of them
>>750313643yeah they've now made it to where Battle Pass items CAN return to shop, they just gotta go through a fucking 16 month exclusivity window though, and their return isn't even guaranteed
MKW lost so fucking hard, LMFAO!
>>750313632Right...the one bright spot is that Snow Miku was at least a Christmas gift from family instead of coming out of my pocket.>>750313636Wonder if they'll both be store or if one is BP. Either way I'm consuming. I'm waiting for this month to end before I subscribe to the crew so I can get the music pass stuff with OG and be covered for next month.
>>750306919No
>>750313738okay thank fucking god I bit the bullet and spent the 9 bucks then, if there's any anon who hasn't done so yet who's interested here, go do so IMMEDIATELY
>>750312829I already end up going through over 5 plates every time I open the game as is, I'm both excited and annoyed at the thought of everything there'll be to experiment with next update.
Jonesy is going to be one of the season 2 free racers, btw.
>>750314101I hope so, but that means we should get the Fortnite map in CW
>>750312561ACKSHUALLY, the festival will be November 5th, and it'd be crazy not to have a thread on the 3rd
>>750314270>the fortnite mapWhich one? There's a new one each season or whatever.
I hope they let me buy Perfect Charge Kit next update, I missed whatever festival that came from.
man this shit's exhaustinggood luck to any anons still climbing, I'm tapping out at 1900
>>750315575Making your fellow Blazechads proud

I'll miss you guys. Take care until next week.
Until next thread bros
>>750316080On some level I feel like it's been a year and I should know better than to be in the middle of the track ever. But drills still ruin me so often whether I'm thinking about them or distracted by a different threat. The nerf even makes them more annoying when you're in the back since you can be following a drill and it just slows down and rips off your face in 10th.>after being knocked into platinumyeah I've been back there three times today, it's rough out there
