Was about to make a Crossworld thread. Update live in 4 hours
>4 hoursBUT I WANT TO PLAY IT NOW
>>750905272Supposedly judging from how there's always a maintenance after an update drops, we're getting the update itself in 1 hour and then maintenance.
>>750905235>>750905272Should be 3 hours. Daylight savings
>>750905272https://youtu.be/FnW5lkk8SOQ
Since it's a big update, make sure to disable your mods before going in.Specially UE4SS and UI mods!
>>750905235I have a VPN now so I can host Europe-region games during the festival to avoid Shittens.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I67Bv1Axhs>likes cap increased>free match for online>can hold you streaks even when coming in 2nd (thank fuck, screw losing your streak because of stacked lobbies)>AI CPU rival teams online lolI can't WAIT
I will only buy the year 2 pass if accel cars are properly buffed.
What're you fellas doing to past the time till the updoot?For me, I'm finally playing Mania after putting it off for so long, its pretty fun

>>750907527>giant item kiti wonder if you can stack gadgets for some gigantic spiky balls
>>750907527About the Gigaton Kit.It supposedly gives you big rocket punch, big spikes and big magnet.
>>750907082doubt characters will change, but if speed machines become usable, i am 100% maining them
>>750905078Holy Kino Ref
Patch Notes going live When?
>>750907828When the update dropsWhich is gonna be either when maintenance starts (in a few minutes) or the usual new content drop hours.
It's over...
>>750906984donny i swear if in 2.0 my car continues to bunny hop on sharp curves i will strangle you
>>750906984Thanks for sweatless world match, donny.
>>750908130I hope they fix the bug on colorful mall where you can still air trick when landing on the final gap.
>>7509078812 more hours then.
Its over for minecarts
>>750907212Warranted, but I don't know my dash panel combos so if we get ring grab this festival kiss your win streaks goodbye
>>750907082I am a certified Pawn Star
>>750908832>goes to special event>new shit to test first hand before anyone else in the world>decides to metafag same as always insteadThat's one hell of an illness. Damn.
Bayonetta is in this update?
TODAY'S THE FUCKIN' DAYPATCH NOTES WAITING ROOM.
>>750907082My stats have remained insanely consistent for some time now.
>>750905235>McLaren festival the same day as GTA VIWhat the fuck where they thinking? Nobody is going to devote precious time to this dogshit tie-in. At least Top 100 will be easy
>>750909518Imagine caring about GTA.
>>750909518>At least Top 100 will be easylol
>>750909518>intentionally dropping a dogshit tie-in festival at the worst timemakes perfect sense actually
>>750909060Yes, unlocked in offline Duel Mode
>>750908832GENESIS BROS WE'RE COMING HOME
>>750909653lol good point
>>750909394Forgot Joker was in the game I've has Sonic Man over him for so long
>>750909518If any content drop had to be sacrificed for GTA IV. It had to be McLaren, man.
>>750909518As a GTA guy, I'll find a way to play both probably after a 20 hour GTA sesh lol (thank god for the extended festivals)
>>750909879I love this ridiculous piece of shit>Sega CD>Genesis>32X>Sonic and Knuckles>and Sonic 1 in the slot, because fuck younow we really are tower with power
Anyone playing the Dream Team PC port?I'm just about to finish getting all the orbs I need to unlock the last post-game level, but I still haven't gotten enough exp to unlock the fourth set of skills. I wish I could've unlocked faster flying before doing all those Tails/Cream challenges.It would also require a lot of farming to unlock Shadow's levels, but I got the first one and didn't even like the structure. Shadow's moveset is also very janky.Given that there's already some modifiers for things like having the spin dash and stomp without equipping the skill, I think a modifier for exp gain would be a great option to include in a future update.
>>750909518Would you rather it be a ghost town for Bayonetta?
Btw guys, Bayo Fest is happening on December.
>>750910219I need to hop on that. So many games coming out this month. Playing Frickbears, playing this update, want to try WOW Forever. Glad I'm not playing OOT or GTA or I'd be really fucked
>>750909879For me it's the Dreamcast Mobile, but that one is also Kino
>>750910348BASED
>>750910219I've beaten the game and I agree. Honestly I really like the game overall but the XP system is absolute AIDS and brings the whole thing down. Before I grind like a dumbass I'm gonna wait a week and see if there's an XP boost mod/update.
>>750910121>>and Sonic 1 in the slot, because fuck youI know they're autistic about 3 but why the fuck didn't they put 2 in the slot to reference knuckles in sonic 2 at least
>>750908832>>750909879GENESISDOES>>750910121>and Sonic 1 in the slot, because fuck youThis guy doesn't even Blue Spheres
>>750905078How soulless can you possibly get as a logo?
>>750910348Nice
>>750909879We're blast processing with this one.https://youtu.be/bun8tA_ksZw
>>750910354I just got floored by the sudden release of the Kenzan English patch (the last Yakuza game unavailable in English). Right after the Dead Souls 60fps patch, too.I need to get back to playing MGS4, too. Which I'll do once I've put down Dream Team.
>>750910506
>>750910458at least it's going to be the easiest texture mod of all time to make it 3 or 2
>>750909518The turbo normalfaggots that play GTA never played Crossworlds, thoughbeit.
>>750910721Only thing i don't like about the MKW logo is the font used in "World". I know it's trying to evoque ghe feeling of adventure but the font they used for it looks cheap.
>>750910710maybe i'll give it a go later this week
>>750910348oh ok.I was slightly worried but of course they'd have a festival for her.
>whole album of fighting game music tracks addedBro where the fuck is Akira or Sarah?
I'm so excited for year 2 content finally. I know I'm ultimately gonna get disappointed and angry again but I just yearn to see the end of this fucking Minecart in every race.>>750907082Here's mine.>>750908460Based Blazebro. Looking forward to playing with you in the Festival.>>750909394>>750909671Holy based AccelGODS
>>750910721MK8 Deluxe's logo mogs this
>>750907212Holy shit, Sega's actually fixing the game.Now we just need a Minecart nerf and we'll be set.>>750907560This update will be fun. Until people find the new meta™ and that becomes the only loadout for the next year
>>750908832>Get to test new content far ahead of everyone else>Still run metaJesus Christ someone knock some fucking sense into these mindless slaves, this shit is ridiculous.
>>750911139personally, i have no issues with a meta being present, as long as off-meta builds are able to compete against it (something that wasn't possible agaisnt UC/DRE/HRE)
>>750911139>Now we just need a Minecart nerf"Minecart? I never liked that ugly piece of shit, but *current meta machine* I always loved it since day 1."
>>750910931It's going to be VF CrossRoads Sex Symbol character as the rep
>>750908832so glad I won't be seeing these meta faggots online now
>>750911220Slipstream builds could ever so slightly compete with UC, but were highly dependent upon items and luck to actually secure the win. Nothing competes with either of the Ring Engine metas we've had.
I can see myself playing the game a lot more frequently now that they added Free Match and the sweats will be at least reduced there and i can just use whatever gadget build ideas i have without the stress of gaining/losing points, genuinely a great addition.
>>750910219S ranked everything except two Shadow stages, which I should be able to unlock after the next set of Tails' Challenges tomorrow. Dunno if I'll bother finding all the blue coin or music collectibles, I'm definitely not grinding XP or skills.I can't believe they put a 3D Sonic with seven playables - all of which keep the fast gameplay with their own flavor - and mostly-competent level design (grind rails are overused and literally on-rails most of the time, but the platforming and sandbox segments are great) in fucking iPhone jail.I agree Shadow's levels kind of suck and he's my least favorite to play, but he grew on me with time. Once you realize you don't need to come to a full stop for Chaos Control and get used to aiming Chaos Shift quickly he's not too bad.
creamapi status?
I actually haven't played much post-launch.I was waiting on a sale for the year one DLC pass to really get back in, but that never came.
>>750911345this, I basically only play offline outside of festivals because I'm too old to give a shit about needing to go full tryhard every race just to stay afloat in rankedit's just too much bother
>>750911298FEET
>>750911540Funny thing about that. The sales on the deluxe edition effectively discounted the season pass!
>>750911540>EspioKino pick. I should play him some more.
https://asia.sega.com/SonicRacingCrossWorlds/en/update/c'monnn..... where is it...
>>750907082Arle, Blaze and Sage seem to be the most frequent played characters around here so far.
>>750911298So Virtua Fighter is getting their own Juri?
I hated having to metaslave to keep up with other Metaslaves. Free Match will allow me to experiment more considering there's no points on the line.Though admittedly I'll probably still metafag in Legend Comps or if we're dealing with two teams of no-sleepers (tentative, can't really call them top 10 fags anymore) during Festivals.
>>750911710
>>750911782well, this *is* 4chan.
>>750911782>ArleHighly popular mascot of a very beloved franchise, cute, sexy>BlazeOne of the most popular Sonic characters, period.>SageLolicons, based.
>>750911710mmmm>>750911782yup! I have Sage on all 3 slots.
>>750907082Just started playing last week on Switch 2.
>>750911915I like Blaze because she's cute and flat. And Sage because she's cute and funny not in that way, but I do like lolicon so....
1 HOUR LEFT
>>750911782>ArleCunny, plus there was the whole push to get her in the game, especially since both Sonic and Puyo Puyo were celebrating their 35th Anniversaries.>BlazeProbably the best female character in the series. (Amy is a close second, but with recent character assassinations reaching Japanese shores, expect a lot more tarot cards.)>SageActually cunny. I still swear people gaslit themselves into liking Frontiers.
I unlocked the special challenges last week. Why are they like this.
>>750907082It's been a fun year.
>>750912087It's because you max out the tickets the Rival teams give after beating them 240 times. After that, they give you 70 every 3 races. Not the fastest ticket grinding method, but it works if you don't wanna play online.
>>750912087that's easier than the globe one wtf are you on
>>750912087Way better than the 100 grand prix (400 races + cutscenes) one, but those were my last two too and I hated every second of going for them.
>>750907082Seeing Espio in third is a little funny cause the vast majority of my time playing him was in the first 3-4 months, barely touch him anymore. Metal Sonic and Proto Man are close behind him I know.That little bit of Acceleration usage is fairly recent, finally started feeling less awkward to drive I think. Here's hoping the machine type balance is decent enough that everything has legit use cases
>>750911710BOOBA, the next hour for sure
>>750912230The distance one will just happen eventually if you play enough, while the rival teams one requires you to play an offline game mode over and over for an insignificant gain in tickets. the GP one is also annoying.
>>750912427I DID the GP and race park ones and I'm not even halfway to the globe one. Maybe the casual WM will help.
Where's the bupping bupdate??
>>750911710It'd be great if we could have some patch notes before it actually comes out.Cause the moment the patch goes live and I'm physically able to I'm going for the fucking jugular.1 hour, 40 minutes...
>>750907082I honestly only really ever play the game whenever Festivals come around.
>>750911782this is a flat-chest zone, no balloon boobs allowed
>>750911053Looking forward to racing with you as well as all the /v/ros. We have a reason to throw likes at each other again outside of the final goodbye at the end of the festival now that the cap is increased.
wavebros...
>>750913050do you think she swallows?
>can't leave to do things between matches anymore or the /v/ros will think I was unhappy with them when they don't receive likesthis update sucks
>>750913016Yeah!
>>750911595Fat fuck of a lot of good that does me as someone who already owns the game.
>>750913175Exactly. It's so stupid.
One last victory before spending the night or part of it because I need that fucking token racing some. Can't wait to check everything new in this update.
>>750906984Thanks King Donny
Can't wait to use Super Shadow one time and then never even look at him in the character select screen again because he and Super Sonic don't appear while you're online.
>>750911782>shy>princess>cat>cool fire powers>strong and independent but doesn't come off as a total bitch >debut game is a solid outing both story and gameplay wise with a banger soundtrack>gets a super form for powerlevelfags to gush over>most importantly flatProbably the most waifucore cooked character Sonic Team ever brewed so it makes sense that even /v/ would like her.
As always, she's in.>>750913308Good luck token hunting bro, this event is a doozy.
Oh yeah he's fucking in
>>750914039You think it's hot inside one of these mascot costumes?
>>750914134costumes?
>>750905078>still over 50 leaf bucksNaa, that's still too much for Chores: The Racing Game.
can't wait for my mods to break again
>>750914145hotel?
>>750914183I imagine worst case, AI mods break. And of course any text editing mods.
I wanna play as Roger Craig Smith
>>750907082Almost forgot to report in. Anyhow I'll probably be replacing Metal with Asuka if I can get around to it. That or maybe Arle. If Kuromi turns out to be a Power type character definitely her.
>>750914010>Good luck token hunting broThanks, anon. Good luck to you too. If you don't have the Dark Kawaii style from gifting the pass, I'm available to be gifted :3
>>750914310Boy do I have the mod for you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBOGdN-6HCM
Was there any sign or mention that they added more custom machine slots?
Do you guys have any characters that you'll never play as? I tend to play everyone except>Omega>AI Omega>Pac Man>All 4 Ghosts>Leonardo>Donatello>Michelangelo>AangEveryone else is on the table at least once in a while.
>>750914567no one plays Omega even storm has a higher pick rate I think Omega is a boring character wasn't even added in sonic fumble
final minutes before a new era of crossworlds begins.gentleman, it's been a pleasure racing with you guys in year one. now, let's hope for the best in year two.
>>750914379>spoilerSorry anon, I gifted it frame one to another friend because I really needed that KTL style. I'm not spending more right now but if you still need it in a week or two I'll hook you up.
>>750914632I like Storm a lot, with him being in the higher end of my played characters, but I just don't like Omega. He's just not interesting. His Rival interactions are funny once in a while but he's not a character I'll ever intentionally pick to play as is.
I just want to spin to win baby
>>750914567I'm afraid I have to diagnose you with a terminal case of gay.
>>750914668>I gifted it frame one to another friend because I really needed that KTL styleNTA obviously but you're just like me. I immediately gifted my nephew because I desperately wanted that KTL style. Tim can still choke on a brick for locking styles like that.
>>750914648Isn't there one more hour of maintenance?>>750914774That's fine. There were better picks than Pac Man but I like that other people enjoy him and the Ghosts. They're just not for me.
>>750914668That's cool, bro. I do have the vbucks to buy it but I'm holding it to see if I find someone to gift me for the style, and if they want I can buy them something back with the 800. Having no real friends is painful.
So is someone hosting a free match lobby now that we're free from losing our points on WM or are you gonna host a full separate lobby to fuck around in?
>>750914538I so fuckin wish. But there has been no info on it so far until we get the update.
SOON
>>750914567Omega, the Avatar characters, and the turtles because I really don't care for their new design at all. The old turtles looked better
>>750914889Free match sounds fun after I download the update on my switch and unlock Bayonetta. I'm sure a decent chunk of the player base is ready to be free from playing for points.
>>750915027I agree with you that the nu-Turtles look like shit, but Raph's Speak DLC! lines get a small laugh out of me every so often so I can't help myself but to play him once in a while.
it's up
>>750915087ISREALGO GO GO
>>750914567>Charmy>Joker>Red>Aiai>Amigo>all of Minecraft>all of Prime>>750914632I like Omega, but I like a lot of other characters more. Even when we Team Dark for festivals I never get to pick him.
>>750914889i'll first check the patches and test all the new shit on my own, but i'd be down for /v/ lobbies
>>750915027>>750914718>>750914632>>750914567>nobody likes OmegaDamn shame. I think he's a cool angry robot. Used to be in my top 3 for a time.
>update after maintenance is overFuck you SEGA. Why not let me update BEFORE it's over.

IT'S DOWNLOADING!!!
Huh? I'm not getting the update...nyo...I wanted to set up an ambush, am I being cucked out of even that???
IT'S HERE
>>750915203>We'll be updating the store lineup over timeFinally Sage in a skimpy bikini
>>750914794>Tim can still choke on a brick for locking styles like that.Facts.>>750914852Give me your ID? That way I can have it when I'm able to gift you.
>>750914567I don't think I play Silver much, I don't know why. I don't play Big because he takes up so much space that I can't see shit. I also don't really care about Joker.I actually play as Omega pretty frequently, I've liked him since Heroes and I even made a custom variant of his kart.I don't even have own any of the Viacom characters because fuck that shit, stay out of my vidya.
WHERE IS IT
>>750915264Oh here it is :DOk gotta get in my boss encounter spot...
>servers still downtime to play new track offline!
guys I think I may have eaten some rotten salmon>>750915346restart steam, that usually works for me
>>750915207>mfw looking minecart and truck nerfs
>Alongside the extended Festivals, win streaks will now determine Festival Rankings rather than Festival PointsTIME TO RUIN SOME STREAKS
I NEED HER!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG!!
LETS SEE YOU GAP NOW YOU PIECES OF SHIT
>>750915290>Give me your ID?I don't usually share my user but sometimes I'm that desperate and I really want that dark style not to mention being a poorfag sucks. Let me know if you want something from the shop gifted after. And if you want to hunt for the token or play for fun you can invite me if you see me online too. Thanks.
>>750915454>still gives flat speedSo still required to keep up. Sigh.
>Perfect Charge Bounty >Lowered the Rings awarded by performing a Perfect Charge from 3/6/9 to 2/4/6.Huh, I called this one a few weeks ago.
>>750915454so just use one of them and use the rest of the gadget slots for ring boosts
>buffing Acceleration Type Machines>nerfed Power machinesSpeed bros...Power bros...
>FOMO content in a Sonic gamebig YIKES!
lolfuck
>nerfed Crash Padsgame is saved
>>750915364>servers down>that mod text glitch I thought I prepared for this timeShit, my killing intent's gonna be gone by the time we can play. Oh well
Wasn't there supposed to be an Air Trick Evolution? Where is it? Can't find it.
>Accel cars buffedThanks Donny.>Power car slipstream cap nerfed>Didn't give it to Speed cars, which get nothing at alllol, lmao
ACKbros....
>>750911405Still werks. Make sure you add Godzilla and the console pack.
>>750915203These changes all seem really good... What's gonna be the lame shit? Boundless Charge?
>Game Opening is now the Sonic Crossworlds Animation HOLY WTFFFF
>>750915669danks
>>750915510Cool, will add you in about 40 minutes since I can't open Fortnite right now.
>Homing Punch, Slicer>The user is now immune to their own attacksI mean I wasn't the only dumbass that got hit with their own glove, right?
Huge
>>750915730I got hit by my own KBB. Where's the love, SEGA?
>>750915682It's perfect for showing off Duel Mode
>>750915753Nice!
>all the shit you used to get for free now requires donpa tickets
>power cars got their hidden speed bonus removed>handling cars kept their speed boost while drifting>speed cars got jackshit>speed stat still the samei have a bad feeling about this
>>750915701>/v/ros being based like alwaysThanks, anon. I love this little group we managed to build here by playing together this year.
>Frenzy events on 2nd lap main courses>Frenzy can now occur when racing on a Main Course during the 2nd lapNice. Always thought it was kind of weird there was never one in those tracks
>>750915454That's worse than I was hoping really...HRE is only getting 1 less flat speed at 100+ rings and even with PCB nerfed that's not hard to keep up.A bit harder to gap from the very start but still
kek Rouge you cunt
Accel cars having baked-in Mini(?) Quick Recovery would've been a great change if the accel stat worked correctly, the gear shift mechanic didn't exist, and we didn't literally get a Mini Quick Recovery gadget in the same patch. Happy accelbros were thrown a bone regardless.
>>750915682which is funny since I had a mod that did that
>Adjusted the placement of Rings and Item Boxes to improve the risk-reward balance of certain paths on the following courses>Urban Canyon, Aqua Forest, Eggman Expo, Wily Castle, Lion Turtle IslandGod I hope this change makes Aqua Forest less ass
SKINS INCOMING!
>Grand Prix CPUS now use random vehicles like Race Park and Online>Even the RivalsBased as fuck for us offline grinders.
>fixed Urban Canyon's car->plane transformation ringholy FUCK FINALLY
>>750915951I guess they're just worried about the HRE fags crying when they can't fall back on their crutch anymore. Hope it gets slammed more as time goes on.
lol
>>750916032give my daughterwife some cute and funny costumes or I boycott year 2
>patch changed all my set controlswell fuck you too
>THE ANIMATION AS INTROFUCKING YES THEY HEARD ME!Now to waste a few minutes every time I open the game watching it.
>CPU adjustments>Reduced the number of Tap Boosts that CPU-only groups perform, as they were performing too strongly under the Tap Boost rulesI guess no more getting fucked out of first by the CPU team in festivals
>>750915912I got the feeling Power cars have absolutely no redeeming qualities atp besides not losing rings on collision. The drift stat on them is way too dogshit.
>>750916120Needs long hair
>>750916031Hopefully no more respawn AFTER the item boxes at Aqua Forest. That was always retarded.>oh you failed? lol fuck you, have a depressing drive to the finish lineNot sure what they'll do to Urban Canyon. That one was admittedly alright.
>none of my mods broke>perfect charge bounty is still giving me 3/6/9 rings?>accel cars feel like you have mini quick recovery and don't feel like trying to drift a brick anymore
>>750915912I blame the retards pre-maturing celebrating the end of minecart reign
>ACK got nerf and buff to compensate>.6 seconds for a ring instead of .5>ring boost buffed from 15 to 17km/hI hope this doesn't kill the slipstream build and keeps it good
>>750915753>mfw I've been playing since day 1 and don't even have 400
>godzilla track music isn't playing>just ambient noise with the sounds of cars and godzillaeerie.
Sega Consoles Festival incoming!
>enable horns during racesTime to show everyone how hard I'm pushing my stick.
Who else is playing StormSpeed while we wait?
>Collision Boost/Power Machine Kit/Power Character Kit >Increased boost duration from 0.5 to 1.7 secondsThat's one hell of a buff
>all the other non-dlc chat stamps are decalsActually neat.>the new silver ai skin at the moment is the piss colored onekek even sega doesn't like the guy
>ultimate lifeform>same stats
>frenzy can now occur on any trackgroovy
>can now deactivate blur on Switch 2Okay, I'll test that later and see if it looks any better.
>750916530Samir... that's not a meme. That... that's just porn.
>Conquer all 24 races in Duel Mode for a new Extreme GearI need that shit. Time to grind.
>>750916032So that basically confirms that at least all the AI colors will be selectable for the characters?This gives me an idea for a Sage mod... I just have to learn how modding Unreal Engine works.
>Speed Item Chance UP>Now needs 2 slots instead of 3Now I'm hard
Guys I realize what color palette you can recreate!
Thoughts?
>>750916824>counter drift buffing gadgets>counter drift is still 3 fucking slots
>>750916683Duel Mode isn't hard, I got Bayonetta in 15 minutes with no real challenge.
>>750916683Time to get to work.
>gadgets that lower highest stat for a massive stat boost elsewhereshe is now meta
>>750916824I'm excited to try out the counter drifts and boundless charge. I wonder how useful brake charger will actually be
>>750916909Are you playing on rival level 10 though? I am.
>Sage and Rei have the same statsFockin brilliant
>>750916824I thought there was a gadget to give boost gauge while colliding, but I guess that's later
>>750917007Oh, I assumed it increased automatically and the difficulty was fixed. Is that not how it works?
>some of the characters I like to use debut in the shop with the AI color scheme as Team RoseFitting.
Now that power is dead can I finally drive an accel vehicle?
>>750917091You can manually change it.
>Horn during race option>Duel onlyWe were SO CLOSE
Yeah, Duel Mode's UI is ridiculously cluttered.>>750916983>99 boost with Arle on HRE Type-J IotaI think that's pretty funny.>>750917102The biggest winners were Team Eggman, cause now those who want to use AI skins are no longer forced to use the piss colored ones.
now that the dust has settled what's the meta
I just got the game and played it for my first 4 hours, I like it a lot, the different character/vehicles really feel quite different. Drifting feels a little odd still, like sometimes I don't go as deep into turns as I expect and I havent nailed down why yet
1 race in and I promise boundless charge will be meta
>>750917180That red Eggman looks so damn good. I hope they add a matching color scheme for Sage and Metal.>Egg Pawn got itI kneel
>>750917164>duel onlythis update SUCKS
>have to get all the red star rings in duel mode again
>>750917180Isn't boost capped at 88 dough?
>>750917248Oh god we're really returning back to the UC meta, aren't we.
Is it me or they fucked with the control settings?I have R1 acceleration which also makes R2 accelerate and it doesn't work anymore.
All this fighting game music makes me want Kazuya or Jin so we can have some Tekken music.
>Duel mode lock to Sonic Speedffs
>The new AI skins are just reskins of the base AI modelIts fucking over
>>750917348Nevermind they defaulted R2 for duel boost that fucking sucks.
>>750917205Glad you're liking it anon.>sometimes I don't go as deep into turns as I expect and I havent nailed down why yetUnless you've got a maxed handling stat, the game expects you to decelerate for many turns.
>duel mode had red star ringsfuck, I have no idea where they all are, I haven't thought about them in a year
>duel mode>glorified 1v1 mode with ui clutter waste of dev time
>Communication with title server failed.
I'm loving Duel Mode
>>750916983>slap the boost one on wave with a handling car>literally the same or better than mini level 1 boostlol
>>750917498wow who would have guessed the mode that was advertised as a 1v1 mode would be a 1v1 mode
Where's the other Sonic Fighters music SEGA? Don't tell me you retards only added Advertise.
city escape fucking blows literally can't beat the ai here
>>750915923Added now!>spoilerSame, I wouldn't do this normally but you guys are my bros.
>homing item immediately veers off course and hits a wall>opponent gets points for "defending"
what are you guys running(im not liking duel mode)
the new red rings satisfy my autism
>>750917775Accepted. Thanks.I see you're also one of the Surge posters. Based.

>>750917938Absolutely, she's in after all.
>>750917973this was known since tgsit's genuinely the only reason asuka might not make my top 3 and because kuromi's in
Are acceleration and speed cars finally good?
>>750917973They can serve Rebuild to me on a plate as much as they want I'll always flip off the waiter and cook. Fuck Rebuild.
Anyone got a fast gadget build I can use? I'm still just running my Ultimate Air Trick Build but it's not cutting it on this slow ass speed.
>Announcer starts speaking a different language despite having everything set to english>Remove mods>Still happens>Check steam game launch settings, also english
FUCK
>>750917986>open patch notes>control + F "tornado">only result is a fix that AI rivals weren't using tornado for defenseFUCK THIS DOGSHIT ITEM
>>750917910You can see when I use it to beat you up! not that I've been subtle at all
Did they say WHAT the accel machine buff is? Not seeing the specifics.If I had to guess, probably adjusted the gear shift on them to...accelerate better
>>750918101Well that's unfortunate. Just curious to see how long it'll take before one of the Top 10 fags will actually die from this. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
>>750918119>>only result is a fix that AI rivals weren't using tornado for defenseBullshit. I play offline regularly and those bots would use it the same as the faggots online, as soon as you're on their range and about to steal their position, or as soon as an item is about to hit. Bots even cheat a bit with lightspeed reaction times when you shoot them point blank and they just use any item to protect themselves no problem.
I like the counter drift keeper gadget
>You can't adjust the colors or add decals to the McLaren car
>i love decal was added upon servers coming back onlineOh god, this just gave the "I heart Guys" or tranny chasers fags more ammunition.
glad to know AI 9 and 10 are rubber banding machines
Online's back on!I...crashed as soon as I set up a duel lobby. Please be a fluke
>added more gadget slots>didn't add more vehicle customization slotsI want to make more extreme gear boards but my old ones...
He’s in
>>750918352Nope, crashed in the same place, when I try to adjust the rules in a duel mode friend lobby
>No voiced BayonettaThis feels so wrong

>>750917536Same
>decide to test duel>start race>wait why can't I drift>WHY CAN'T I DRIFT>my controls got remapped What the fuck SEGA
Godzilla Escape is my favorite track now
>1 duel online>running hyper ring engine and 150 ring hold, spam lv 2 drifts>lead by half a lap, even with him getting endless duel boostsmeta is still going to be stupid minecart drift spam
on the modding discord, one of the guys thinks he can separate the ai skin models since they have different IDsmight not be so hopeless.
>>750918562FIRST BLOOD NIGGER DIE DIE DIE HAHAHAbtw SSS mod breaks the game now,
>>750918310lolI feel the same way about this that I do with the decals that can't be adjusted, that the company in question is run by prissy-ass bitches who need absolute brand control at all times
>>750918681Pretty much all mods break the game atm.
>on jp dub>voice says frenzy instead of feverDid they fuck up something or is this intentional?
>>750918645I'm gonna try that here offline cause this Level 10 Classic Sonic on Metal Harbor is kicking my ass. Lap 3 he just tears off and I can't catch him.
>>750918673he said it can be donebut he also said tomorowmods are back in the menu
>retrying the ai rival duel lowers its levelreeeee
>>750918681GOJIRA NOOO I FUCKED UPPPPP
>first race>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pumpkin Mansion>loseFUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF REMOVE THIS DOGSHIT RACK FROM THE GAME
>just tearing ass in duels since duel boost can negate stupid last stretch item kikery and running front running buildduel mode in single player was a terrible first impression
>>750918879I liked the second match, felt more like a fighting game.This one's gonna be the last one Megabro.
>test duel mode>max diff bayo>bad gadget choice for just one opponent>button choice makes it uncomfortable to use boost>still manage to win at the end even if thanks to a red gloveOk it isn't as hard as I thought but at least it's fun to play. I can see myself using this mode to waste time playing alone.>catbox not workingFuck.
>>750919075Duel boost in general is very strong, I'm curious how the best way to use it's gonna be.>>750919126Yeah this is fun. GGs (I actually won that one?)Let's kill some other anons now!
>>750919138Bayo wasn't that hard on max level, though she did put up a strong fight on Rainbow Garden for me, but dude this Classic Sonic is just way too fast.
>>750919250Yeah, like one anon said earlier, solo duel match was a bad first impression, it's actually very fun with real people. Thanks for the matches Megabro, GG.
>queue up duel match>get matched Exponso>wdyd

>>750919605ain't top 1
>>750916326Oh, PCB is simply not nerfed in race park. That's real annoying. Ring evo feels even shittier now that it has to hog the upgrade slot and is harder to build...
>godzilla track>haven't played it>last stretch fucks me up really hard>fall downWhat a lame way to lose my first duel online.
>>750919351>nope.avi
>>750919708It's awful.
>>750919708Played it a few times and kinda figured by the end, there's a lot of shortcuts there so you need to know where to boostCan call that one a practice match if you want
>>750919678>nerfs arbitrarily different in Race Park>gadgets arbitrarily different in dumb ways in Time TrialsI hate the mode inconsistency

>no lobbies posted for anything but duel slopDisappointing
>I have no music on lap 2 and 3it's a mod compatibility issue or they just fuck up?
Item Buster Kit feels mad op for duels.Also, slime in first place is interesting. They really want you to save those duel boosts
>>750919890>wtf why is everyone interested in the brand new mode?!
Don't know if it's just duel mode, but I feel my machine extremely heavy and weird to drift.
Dunno if you meant to leave Sagebro, but I'll say we're 1-0 rn
>>750919924probably a mod thing, all my DLC characters have no victory music, but that bug is tied to the mod that stops the menu from dramatically singing at me so fuck 'em
>>750919885based mimicGOD
>>750915973>>750916109that was good lol>>750917045perfect>>750905078SAGEBROS did we finally win?
>>750919856Seems like they've still got ranked based match making, but it really is already a vast improvement.
>3rd time someone left Am I really that intimidating?
>>750905078I'll give them credit for finally fixing half of the problems I have had with the game since launch. But there is a 0% chance I am ever buying any of their shit day 1 again lmfao
>>750919979I'll leave if you want to race with other anons. i'm having fun with you tho.
LOL collision boost on duel mode is a baaaad idea>>750920124We can keep going a while then. Can kill another anon later
>>750919537>First try>Sonic Heroes blasting
>>750920065Yeah i noticed, that sucks. Still, i'm just gonna stick to this mode whenever i want to play online now.
>>750920186It has to be my build. I mentioned this a while back but I just don't know how to make gadget builds because I was conditioned to never experiment.
Ult air trick strong. Forgot to put perfect landing on it too, been wanting to try that one
>>750920161Ok last one. You're raping me too hard. I need to check if my other accel machines behave the same as this one. I really feel them heavier. Must be something about duel.
>>750920364>host comm errorOk I guess that's it. GGs Megabro, it was fun.
Just played my first rival race on Godzilla escapeholy shit that was awesome.
>>750920364Errord, and another anon invited at the same time...GGs Sagebro. I think I like this mode
>the bot can be your rival racer>happened three times in a row because everyone else is below 8000
>>750920458>timed outI guess it's to be expected with the way these servers are at the best of times
>>750919942God damn, I did the shoot-out build with Item Attack Bounty in the Super Slot, with Item Hit Evolution and it's fucking crazy against the AI. 25 rings given to you on hit, so you can immediately reroll for more items.Shame it'll be next to useless once I try this out online, because I'm assuming desync is still a thing.
New frenzy
Oooh new AI Skins? More mod slots?
>>750920570oh that's fun.
>>750920570dafuq?
>>750920573They're apparently separated in the game code. if anybody's willing to mod blue archive chibis over sage's ai slots i will suck your dick
Aigis drops on February
>>750920543Actually it's even stronger online I think. If you throw your item close to the opponent, it doesn't matter if they block it on their screen cause it registers for you
>>750920635might want to post something on the Gamebanana
>>750920645I like Aegis, I'll probably play as her...
>>750920573not quite... yet. modder will tackle it tomorow.
>>750920635you got a link to the chibi models? specifically the green one with the minigun
I want to like boundless charge but I still hate getting to level 4...
Brake charge plus level 4 invincible charge might be retarded. It's basically almost an on demand invincibility
>>750920016 jannies share in that anger too, apparently.
>first duel online>against sage in truck>leading all race>end up winning no problem with a bit of extra leadOk, I don't suck as much as I thought. After those races against Megabro I was starting to doubt myself.
>>750920914I just lost my first random match online against a HRE130 Sonic.I was actually leading, I just failed to block his attacks at the worst moments lol
>Godzilla Escape lap 3truly spectacular
>final DLC packs are more FF7wank and a THIRD Persona packI guess it's not exactly shocking since FF7 will cross over with anything that moves and Sega has a new Persona game to push, but I can't be excitedI guess it's better than more Nickslop
1v1s are kinda mid
So why didn't Godzilla get a character rep?
>>750920635>>750920665Actually I just remembered, I know Claude banned video game recomps, but if it hasn't banned modding assistance yet I may have a chance... though using AI would kill any chance of people actually wanting it.
>one on one races>the other person likes you>now feel pressured to like backI don't like it.
>>750920985>more FF7wankNigga where's the initial FF7wank?
>front run entire race>last stretch get comboed by multiple teaming faggots>end in like 8th>no sense of anger since losing results in losing nothingwill just stick with this mode for my racing fix
Hiding the opponent's gadgets before the race is evil. These poor bastard just trying to race don't know the spam they're about to be flooded in
>>750920985I'm fucking ecstatic for Cloud
Tested my VPN, it works but it's a bit unstable. Dunno if that's worth it or not to avoid Shittens.
>>750921125in everything else for the last ten years
>>750921076I knew it would be, I played a lot of those in pic related.
Duel Mode is fucking awesome wtff
>>750921092>AI would kill any chance of people actually wanting ittrue. whenever i do Gamebanana to request I just offer money. Got it done in the same day last time. Might try it again for a mod for Frickbears but the mod creator turned out to be a creep so I'm not sure if I can do that one.
>first blind play of godzilla trackholy shit the entire year 2 budget went into this one track
>Aigis and Asuka are both boost

Anybody interested in running some free match?
>racing for my life against DRE Minecart fucker at Sand Road>suddenly invite pops upHEYI won
Speaking of, it seems getting duel coins outside of the best-of-10 events will be agonizingly slow
slipstream + ring boost ain't gonna cut it anymore, I gotta branch out, I gotta try other gadgets out.
>>750921484start a room, i really dont know what to do with these new builds just going to try things>>750921565FUCK.
>>750921484Count me in
Having fun spamming items?
>>750921526YOU ARE THE LASAGNA OF SON OF BITCH, GET PUNCHEDAt least day one, my build feels absolutely dirty, I'm starting to feel bad LOL
>>750921704if anything, duel mode's making me hyper aware of how much I just waste items by throwing them behind me without a plan
>Shadow isn't the rival for Radical HighwaySega pls
>ring engine faggot as second opponent online>slows down at race start (same as last opponent)>spend the rest of the race activating boost after boost trying to reach me>never does>second win online in a rowI guess sometimes gadgets can't do all the job. Also, they're slowing down at race start to stay behind on purpose to attack and charge boost I guess? I love frontrunning so you can stay behind if you want.
>>750921704...yesI'll do a different build after this, I'm starting to think the item buster plate should be for rando opponents, this is mean
>>750921608>>7509216417511-7392, let's fuck around
>>750921841>lobby is fullthats insane, have a good time anon. glad the threads are back again
Godzilla escape is so FUCKING cool, it's like playing city escape for the first time again...
>>750921758Its her highway
Haha never play chicken with Godzilla or you'll misread its hitbox.
>>750921565Duels definitely demand a different kind of plate.
>>750921779Ok, using air trick build now, should be less cancerAlso, Route Planner Bounty is banned in duel mode. Makes sense but I wanted to abuse it...
>>750920570man, air trick evo would've gone insane here
>leading all race in kronos>last shortcut to finish line>use shield before taking it>red glove hits me without a warning right before activating>lose raceAnd there goes my streak. What a stupid way to lose that race.
>>750922036what happened to that? wasn't that supposed to be a gadget that got added this patch? i was looking forward to that.
I'm sad you don't get duel coins just for free duelling, cause rn everyone's just running Ring Engine meta, and that doesn't work when you're blowing their assholes out with gloves
Mm yes is like to speen
>>750921779Man without bagging my ankles are kinda shattered here. Guess you live and you learn.
>>750920985I like Persona so I'm not complaining.Doesn't really matter who they add as characters, I'm moreso hyped for the track.
>>750905915Don't forget that having the widescreen mod WILL crash during the duel mode intro.
>monster truck spam in the last stretch every single racenothing was fixed with this update
I crave VIOLENCE
>>750922213Duel Boost and the new gadgets make offroad a non-issue when frontrunning.Really bagging might be a lot weaker now even in regular races cause of the gadgets, we'll see

rival 10 still cheating as usual
man, i'm sad that power cars are now dogshit. they weren't even meta through the entire game's lifespan.
Alright last one Megabro and then you can find yourself a new rag doll.
>>750922379 (me)at least, maybe, it seems like accel will take their place with the (apparent) built-in mini-qr
Where are the Sonic R ost?I did all time trial with A rank available.
Accel actually doing something makes this such a good fucking update.
>>750922328Ye, sad to replace Arle but oh wellLast one for now Arlebro, should do some regular races after this
>meta looking to be more of ring engine minecartswill most likely only cut this on for festivals and daily duel quests
>>750922468There's another mod that swaps her with Protoman instead of Arle.

I'll check everything else tomorrow or later tonight. That race didn't mean anything point wise, but it was tiring all the same.

Doing some world match, haven't played it yet51352094 if anyone wants to see what I expect to be minecart HREs
>>750922890Ah okay. I did think it was odd I was only seeing DLC characters. Not that I'm complaining, they need more of an official presence in the single player content.
>>750922895This'll be our warm up before the festival in a few days. Just with friendly fire on.
>>750922825It's been a couple of weeks days since I last try to draw something so I don't have anything else right now. Was thinking about trying to draw a cute Sage for that decal event but I still don't know if I'll do it with Fortnite sucking all my free time right now.You can have my last Amy though. Thanks for liking my Sage.
managed to get S rank on both speeds on the new trial and things don't feel that much different, it seems that if you want to ace time trials you still need to use the old reliable meta which is lame
Guess I'll die.
>>750923006your amy works as compensation, thanks artfriend

>>750922981Pac man was my rival, was very winnable, but he hired bloody basterdz to RAPE ME FROM BEHINDWhat did I do to deserve this attack spam!?!?Having rivals now is cool though

>>750922379>>750922450>>750922780What's the meta now?
>>750923179Only allowed in Grand Prix lol thanks for buying Season Pass 2.
>>750923026They refuse to give time trials the same rebalance as other modes for whatever reason. The bizarre part is they even did tweak some things for it this time, but the changes made next to no sense compared to what other modes got.
>>750923240well damn. maybe set them up at the lowest difficulty
>>750923284coward

Are the godzilla cars any good? They look cool but I haven't bought any dlc for this game, am only hearing good things about the godzilla track so I might drop the money

Level 10 duels are some straight up bullshit.
>>750923509
>>750923508Well that stinks. Funny outcome for the race on my end at least.

Is it just me or they heavily buffed perfect landing?I didn't even put it on the extra gadget slow and managed to get absurd speeds.

Gonna bake the next bread while someone makes another free match lobby
Free match is fun
>>750923502Guess that explains why I wasn't as impressed with Mini Quick Recovery as I expected to be. Gadget spreadsheet way overexaggerated how good it was. Accel cars having half hitstun baked in is pretty cool.
>>750923803>>750923847Even before the proportionate buff I was looking forward to putting that in the GM slot.Still track dependent but it feels like the last piece to make air trick builds actually decent

>>7509218412/4 free match, still yet to get the new tracklet me know if you're waiting so I can back out
Sorry for the many bombs i (non-intentionally) threw at you Bayobro.Those matches we're really fun. I'm definitely sticking mainly with Free Match from now own.Gg's
>>750923914At least I beat m-mine
>>750924056>>750924056>>750924056
