Thread 49685098

This Friday 11th we'll hold the 5th edition of the official /jp/ Skydrift Cup at 9 pm EST.

Join in for total chaos, ultra competitive autism, and the ultimate racing fun to be crowned Champion of the jpsies.

In case you missed our last tournament (the 4th edition), check out this thread to see for yourself how it went:
https://warosu.org/jp/thread/49544319

>>49685098 (OP)
Should be fun! Have the details been decided on how we’ll handle the lobby not being big enough for all of us to join? I know some options were mentioned last thread.

>>49688084
Unfortunately it hasn't been decided yet since it seems most anons who compete show up for the tourney or race nights only and then ghost the thread so not much progress has been made there
So I guess it'd still have to be first come first served as it is rn since the potential qualis system that was proposed would require people showing up for 2 days (qualis on friday and tourney on saturday possibly)

>>49688495
i think we should test the system at the very least and see if it works.
ok, if you are planning to participate in the tournamet, reply to this post with the name you are using:

>>49688774
Yo. Fester here. I'll be there.

>>49688774
VD here, obviously

>>49688774
Dll, I'm there.

>>49688774
Guess I gotta say something then. Cherry here, I will more than likely be able to make it this Friday.
Genuine apologies for having not given my two cents over how to better organize this though, I just haven't been able to find a good moment to really think about it coherently (I'm bad at multitasking).

can a kind anon here do me a solid and insert a Skydrift image on the monitor screen pls? I am a retard with image editors

>>49688774
kaiser, i will have my revenge

>>49693482
Holy shit thanks anon, this is perfect

>>49693490
Kaiser be like

>>49688774
Retard here, I should be there

Okay so that's 7 racers by my count...
TFT, Cancermania, Strelok, Fudge are other anons who've raced so assuming we have more players this time around (hopefully someone gets the word out on Kissu too) we could actually do some qualis given that everyone shows up

Aight so as a test I'll make a quick lobby TOMORROW NIGHT (thursday) at 9 pm EST just to test out the qualis system so pls show up for a few racers
Here's how I think it ould go:
As another anon proposed last thread, we'll assign numbers to the racers that show up and then we'll draw them up against each other in two groups and have them compete in 3 races in random circuits.
Then using AI for convenience we'll sort out the best times and make a mock leaderboard in which the best times would qualify to the tournament

Remember this is a test, so let's see how it plays out. It can also be good practice for Friday lol.

I've never ever played this game before, but I might join you guys if you test tomorrow. Anything I should know as a newbie?

>>49693910
if you havent already, try the game and get a good feeling of the controls and mechanics, maybe complete the campaign so you dont go blind and most importantly, have fun and dont get frustated, this game can be very punishing sometimes and is based on a bit of luck

>>49694010
dammit! meant for >>49693975

>>49693975
Oh yeah in addition to what anon above me said, there's actually TWO campaigns, the second of which you unlock after finishing the first one.
It's important to finish both in order to unlock every track and character so you can join us. Shouldn't take more than an hour tops.

The tournament is tomorrow… I need to finish drawing the art from the last one.
I'll be there tonight for the test.

>>49696950
No rest for the fluffy.

>>49696950
nigga you had one month lmao

>>49696950
I think I've got you beat. The last tourney I joined was the 3rd one, and I still owe whoever the winner was the art for it...

>>49697216
Don't worry, I'm willing to wait an eternity for things if I must.

>>49697230
Appreciated.
...Who won the third tourney again? Was it Cherry?

>>49697253
Yeah, Reisen and Koishi was the duo specifically. I liked how creative people got with their submissions so you can really just do what you feel for it.

>>49697269
Alrighty, I'll get to it this weekend, along with the one for this weeks'.

>>49697216
>>49697253
>>49697277
Ayo, you're also missing Dll's (4th edition champ) art (Seija & Nue)

>>49697542
I wasn't here for that one, gomenasorry. I'll probably still try to knock something out too though.
This'll be a busy weekend for me for sure...

TEST QUALIS STARTING IN 30
Rev up those touhous
Once the lobby's full, please comment ITT who's left out in order to assign numbers and make 2 groups, which I'll post here
Then we'll split into the groups and the first group will race 3 times, followed by the second group
I'll post a screenshot of the times after each race in the group I'm in, so someone pls post the times of the other group to feed them into the AI and determine who the best 7 times were who would qualify to the tournament

Lobby and pass comin up in 20!!!!!

>>49697590
>>49697590
>>49697590

Lobby's up!!!

>lobby
/jp/ test qualis

>pass
suika

>>49697645
How do I join? Never done this before and just finished the two campaigns.

>>49697645
Oh yeah, we should stick with the same 2hus we'll use for the actual tourney, right?

>>49697655
Set server region to US in the setting, go to versus, then free match

>>49697662
Thanks. I'm "yoyo"

>>49697658
Not necessarily since this is a test
But maybe you wanna get some competitive practice in before tomorrow?
Or maybe you don't wanna show off your guns until the tourney? Up to you senpai

Full lobby!!!!!
Okay people, let's give it 5 to see if cherry or cancermania or fudge or someone else shows up.
Ideally if there's just 1 more person trying to join we would then split into 2 groups.
If no one else shows up, then we'll start the test by having us 7 race 3 random tracks and then simply ranking everybody by time, which I'll post after every round

>>49697674
>>49697674
Additionally, if no one else joins by 9:24, here's the course of the day (expanded it to 5 races if it's just us 7)

SEIJJJAAAAAAAAAAAA

Everyone's so much better than me that maybe I should make room for someone else... ^_^;

Gahhh, I lost first place right at the finish line! Danggit.

TEST 1 DONE

>>49697698
JUST HAVE FUN SENPAI!!!!!!!!!

>>49697698
Nah stay in, it would be more rude to drop out at this point
Just focus on learning the tracks

>>49697707
What I don't get is that Kasen is supposedly the fastest character, though it seems that even when taking the straights with full speed I never seem to catch up. ...It's the character on top whose stats matter, right?

>>49697705
>>49697705
>>49697705
TEST 2 DONE

>>49697713
No, confusingly it's the board that makes up the stats and the top that draws the spell card
When you switch characters you gain a speed boost which is probably what we're doing on straight aways to pull forward

>>49697698
A lot of it comes from learning how characters handle and their good and bad map matchups. Some are just cock and ball torture if your 2hus cant drift well. There's also some tricks like map shortcuts which you'd have to lookup how to use.
>>49697713
Yeah, most of those stats are for the "board" 2hu. Kasen is fast (the fastest actually) if you ride her but she cant drift for shit, where Suwako is slower (the slowest actually) but has superior drifting.

>>49697715
TEST 3 DONE

>>49697731
I see, thanks!

>>49697734
TEST 4 DONE

>>49697674
Oh boy. Cherry here but I accidentally fell asleep way earlier, forgot about this and now I'm having dinner. Is me not being able to help test the system right now going to be detrimental come tomorrow, or..?

I am… whatever you kids say when you're mad at video games.

Kaiser FAST

>>49697763
I'm partial to "malding"

I was almost 6th place this time, so I'll just be happy for the improvement

>>49697752
not really, we are only 7 so is not like we could make another proper server

>>49697748
>>49697748
>>49697748
TEST 5 DONE
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING!!!!!!!
This was tight and had we been divided in 2 groups it would've been even crazier

I propose we do another 5 random races before we call it a night and get ready for TOMORROW'S TOURNAMENT

I got to go take care of THINGS, was fun racing for a bit.

>>49697752
>>49697768
Had we been 8, some of us (in say, group B) would have had to quit the lobby while group A raced and so forth

Something weird happened with sanae's spell card there, it spawned in completely the wrong spot

Well I'll step out now. I had fun but the skill level is quite a bit less casual than I hoped. Thanks for the fun guys!

>>49697821
You had some pretty close races tho
Some people here that finished last when they first joined have gone to win the championship
Just keep racing!
Hope to see you tomorrow!!!!

>>49697835
Sure, I'll join in tomorrow if there's an open slot. I don't want to take the opportunity away from anyone who's a regular here.

Fun races as always lads. Tomorrow should be fun!

>>49697752
>Is me not being able to help test the system right now going to be detrimental come tomorrow, or..?
Well, we were a man short of splitting the racers into two groups to test the system properly. So I guess there will be no need of a quali tomorrow if there's no one left out.
But if there is, then we'll have to implement the untested 2 group dynamic and have a 3 race qualis for both groups, add them up and make up the best 7 times to go on and proceed to the tournament.

Not going to lie, I haven't been paying attention to the rules or scoring metric, I'm just going to race and hope for the best

I love this game and the fun we've had with it, but I won't deny that the hit detection can be real whack at times. Case in point:
https://files.catbox.moe/5rux0i.MP4
I also know a specific spot in the Bamboo Forest that'll also get me if I'm not careful. I can't even be mad at this, it's actually kinda funny.
>>49697875
That's pretty much what I do. Just race and have a good time and not worry about placing.

>>49697906
*collision detection, my bad.

>>49697875
>>49697906
>I haven't been paying attention to the rules or scoring metric
>not worry about placing.
Pathetic

>>49697906
yeah the last time that happened to me it cost me the first place, at that point i usually try to fall of the map as fast as i can

>>49697906
There's a "shortcut" in the youkai mountain map, specifically in the kappa warehouse type place where you have to boost up a flight of stairs
I have attempted it like 4 times across these sessions and have yet to do it without getting caught on some piece of terrain I can't even see
I would highly recommend everyone attempt the skip and see if they can actually do it properly

>>49697970
yeah, it works, you just need to time it

>>49697906
>>49697956
>>49697970
Funny, I've never had any hiccup like that in any track whatsoever
My only gripe is that sometimes I'll blast a bomb at someone and they shrug it off like it's nothing when I know they're not using that red protection cube thing, which I guess is due to varying connection speeds or something. But I've never run into an invisible wall or anything like that.

Tried to race against max-level CPUs and totally got my ass kicked.
So if I'm to understand, the idea is that you switch characters as often as possible for the speed boosts, and also hold drift shortly after every boost in order to conserve speed?

>>49697906
There's also a part in the lunar map where you just hard stop on seemingly nothing if you take the turn wrong.
>>49698038
>which I guess is due to varying connection speeds or something
I get this a. LOT. I'd guess about 70% of my amulet shots do nothing since the game on their end doesn't register the hits. Makes getting hit by them feel a lot worse since the slow down is significant.

>>49698170
A pro racer told me you don't actually have to switch as often as possible, that that is in fact a rookie mistake. Apparently it's all in the drifting and holding it but those pro cats are something else, the way they drift is insane and I simply can't grasp the mechanics of how they do it even tho I've analyzed gameplays and videos and the wiki and whatnot.

>>49698170
max level CPUs are a whole different beast, they are way faster and have better drifting, can tank and recover faster from attacks, are lucky when it comes to spell cards, got advanced aimbot AND will gang up on you, is totally unfair unless you are skilled and you have full map and mechanics knowledge, if i am begin honest, i think is easier to play with you guys, well sometimes... because other times you fuckers blow me up 4 times in a row and be dropping 2 consecutive sanae nukes

>>49698170
>>49698272
w-what do you guys mean by "max level CPUs"? I'm a baka with computer lingo

>>49699646
in the game, there is a versus mode that you can play with bots, the bots have 5 levels of difficulty starting from 1 to 5

>>49699825
Ah I see thanks, I didn't even know that was a thing lol

>>49697906
>>49697875
>not racing for glory
I love you all but when race time comes all bets are off and you become my enemies. I want to win and to own you all.

>>49700070
I still feel bad everytime I blast someone in the back with an amulet or bomb.

>>49700070
I was thinking of maybe skipping out on this one and leaving room for some newcomers actually but now I'm evil and also want to destroy you all.
See you all in a few hours!

>>49700454
If I'm in first and get an amulet I slow down to hit the guy behind me.

I've been practicing all morning. You jerks are going down

>>49700656
That is all cool and dandy til you get fucking Seija'd or Koishi'd and lose your spell card and several positions

>>49701029
I am literally destined to be crowned champion tho, a vision came to me in a drunken stupor

TOURNAMENT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Starting in ABOUT 2 (TWO) hours!!!!!!!!

Stay tuned for the lobby and password shortly.
When the lobby's full, I'll post the randomized track order of the day.

>IMPORTANT SHIT!!!!!
Today we'll have a 12 round tourney.
15 minute half time after the 6th round to cool down, strategize, piss and refill your drinks and snacks.

After each race, next race will start exactly 3 minutes after the last one was ended in order to give everybody time to post and rage ITT, and for me to update the results and standings.

As usual, the winner will be celebrated by having the rest of the racers draw the shittiest and not so shittiest artwork of the champ's characters.

>>49701594
Dang, 12 rounds?? Is that how many we usually do? I haven't done one of these in a bit, so I don't remember.

>>49701667
We expanded it to 12 starting last edition. It was awesome and added more drama and it gave us the choke of all chokes, which wouldn't have happened in 10.

I have to keep an eye on a dog for a few hours so I wont be participating this time. As much as I may wish, pause buttons don't exist for multiplayer.

>>49701716
were you at yesterday's test qualis

>>49701794
I was.

>>49701716
just give the dog some sleep meds. I'm sure he'll be fine!

>>49701716
Yeah I agree with >>49701864
If it's a small pooch just keep him in your room, ez

>>49685098 (OP)
Every time I start this game up it just says that it's not the latest patch and that online dosen't work. Feels like you need to fix that download you provided

LOBBY'S UP!!!!!!!!!

>lobby

>pass
unowen

>server
US

>A reminder of the rules:
We will only use the initial same 2 characters throughout the tournament. If there's any change the player will still be allowed to keep racing, but will be disqualified from the championship.

After each race, I'll post the points tally.

>point system:
1st place – 10 points
2nd place – 8 points
3rd place – 6 points
4th place – 4 points
5th place – 3 points

After the 6th race, we'l have a 15 minute break for piss and snacks.


Race track order of the day will be posted briefly before we start
Starting at 9:15 pm EST sharp!!!*

*Unless we have more people than the lobby can hold (7), we'll do QUALIFIERS for the first time, so stay sharp for any updates!!!
Please comment ITT if you're left out so we can arrange the qualis ASAP

AYO where cherry?

Oh hey the soku guy joined

>>49701963
>>49701987
Tried to hop in but looks like I was still too late...is one anon really enough to arrange some qualifier rounds though? I don't mind if it's too much of a hassle.

this game needs to support 20+ player races like the newest mario kart

so how could we do this? 4 and 4 on each server?

>>49701995
We should just play dr robotniks ring racers it's better and has touhou mods

>>49701963
LOBBY'S FULL!!!!!!!!
Since we are 8 people in queue for the tourney, we'll featuer qualis for the FIRST TIME EVER

WE'LL DIVIDE EVERY RACER IN 2 GROUPS:

GROUP A WILL RACE IN 3 RANDOM TRACKS
SAME FOR GROUP B

IF YOU'RE SORTED INTO GROUP B, PLEASE EXIT THE LOBBY SO GROUP A CAN RACE

WHOEVER IS MADE THE HOST IN WHICHEVER GROUP I'M (VAN DOUGH) NOT IN, PLEASE POST A SCREENCAP OF THE TIMES AFTER EACH RACE TO FEED IT INTO THE CALCULATOR

AFTER GROUP A IS DONE WITH THE QUALIS, GROUP B WILL PROCEED

THE BEST 7 TIMES WILL PROCEED TO THE TOURNAMENT

We'll start the QUALIS at the 9:15 pm EST scheduled time!!!!
Please stay posted for updates!!!

how do we know which group we're in?

>>49702010
flip a coin dingus

>>49702014
I got heads

>>49702015
Congratulations you're in Group C

>>49702003
random tracks? wouldn't it be better if we had the exact same tracks? because some are longer than others

>>49702017
I thought so, too.

>>49702003
>>49702003
>>49702003

Uhh, I think we can start now Kaiser.

group B's first race

I probably should learn the alternate paths on that map

My game keeps freezing so if you see really bad scores that's why

group B next race will start in 3 mins

>>49702091
Y-yeah, uh, mine too...Definitely...

GROUP A QUALIS DONE
AS SOON AS GROUP B'S TIMES ARE RECORDED I'LL POST THE 7 RACERS THAT WILL PROCEED TO THE TOURNEY

group B second race:

>>49702110
The online crack is broken on Linux so I tried to run the game on my old VN computer since it's the only one I've got with windows and it's just not up to the task for these fancy graphics

group B third race

>>49702110
I don't think it's a question who's not going to be moving on

Fester I'm going to fucking kill you for that

>>49702136
don't be rude :(

Since yesterday I have since found out that there are different levels to your spell cards and now I actually wait to get stronger ones instead of just using them as soon as I get one. I think it makes a good bit of difference. Don't know how I've managed up until now not know that lmao

>>49702136
Rudeposting begone

FINAL QUALIS TIMES!!!!

I got stuck in the moving bridge for like five seconds before it let me die. I wish the devs put more work into giving the maps proper collision.

>>49702368
Ah, I fell off the map because cirno ice just before the nuke hit, I wonder if that caused it to freak out

I was just conserving my energy this time. And also I didn't know the track very well...

isnt it exciting?!

STANDINGS AFTER R10!!!!!!

>>49702490
...and also, there may have been a nuke dropped on my head. But that's just the game!

dont let these crabs keep you down yoyo! shine on and fight hard!

Is going up the grand staircase the way to go in this map? It seems like no one bothers to do anything else after the first lap.

Only just noticed now you can take the shortcut on that track right before the finish line without a boost, I thought there was a lip or something you needed to boost over...

holy shit... i need to win this one, please hakurei god!

KAISER
GREET MY COMBAT

>>49702510
There's honestly so many shortcuts and crannies in the SDM that I can hardly keep up...

>>49702516
it will be different this time DII, i will show you!

STANDINGS AFTER ROUND 11!!!!!!!!!!!
THE FINAL ROUND 12 COMING UP!!!!!!!!!!

That was fun, guys! I ended up researching and practicing a whole lot after getting totally pwned yesterday, so I'm happy to see that my efforts got me a better ranking.
Thank you for hosting, Van Dough, and thank all you guys for playing!

cheers yoyo! you did good, really good! well raced!

Ayo Dll pick who we race as
Perks of being da champ

>>49702552
Hell yeah, give me some good Clownpieces too this time guys. All aliens next 3 races for UFO porno.
>>49702543
You fought well! After the slip ups I made in the previous rounds I for sure thought I woulda choked.

Great, I can't fucking win in the tournament but the match where I started 10 seconds late because I was pissing I win

>>49702565
lol seriously? maybe you need to start chugging water before the tournament then...

>>49702563
Was your pair Nue and Piece this time? Could've sworn it was Nue and Suika, even had a good idea for that

>>49702580
Yeah, Nue and Clownpiece this time. But now I'm curious what your idea was

fester you motherfucker... wanting to keep on dead last by all means

HOLY SHIT, Slowestretard dead fucking LAST on Old Capital???? Never thought I'd see the day

>>49702591
I keep overshooting all the turns, Nue's drift is so darn sensitive

This will be my last race!!!
Thank you all for coming as always!!! Super fun as always!!!!!!!

For this last race let's all race as characters we NEVER USE!!!!!

See you all on AUGUST 8TH FOR THE 6TH TOURNAMENT!!!!!!!

That was a ton of fun, thanks again everyone. I'll definitely be back next month to win on my second try!

one day... one day! i will have my revenge!

>>49702642
And I guess I'll post my drawing tomorrow or so, too

So what do we think of the qualis? I think they worked out pretty well especially considering how hastily they had to be implemented

Oh man, Suika and Orin were not a good combo. They're so floaty and drifty...
Anyways, I had fun lads! Got a lot of drawing to make up for this weekend, so bear with me and don't expect anything remotely good, but I'll try.
>>49702589
Eh, it kinda suits someone like me to be honest. I am not very competent lmao. I'm almost certainly gonna get kicked out in the qualifiers one of these days. I was actually expecting that to happen today desu.

>>49702646
They worked well enough. I can't think of any way to improve on the system off the top of my head.

>>49702646
yeah, i think it works pretty well, and now that we are done with that issue... should we start inviting kissu and wap to our next races?

>>49702563
Probably won't have a drawing done for a bit, tomorrow is the Morrowind game night and all
>>49702646
Bit awkward and time consuming but so long as the tournament feels fair to everyone then it's a worthy sacrifice
I also wouldn't mind having an extra race in the qualifiers to reduce the chance of someone failing to qualify from getting unlucky

If we start inviting other sites and getting a lot of racers, we'd probably have enough for multiple lobbies. Maybe if we get to the point at which we have +14 or +21 racers, we could have multiple leagues? Top 7 qualifier winners race in one league, the next 7 go into another, and so on.

>>49702643
Return when you've regained your full strength, shrine maiden. Come and strike me down!
>>49702646
Went a lot smoother than I expected. I think the framework is solid so far. Every multiple of 7 we'll have to add 1 lobby though, so it could get hectic at higher player counts.
>>49702648
The only reason you qualified is because fig had to use his potatOS, lol

>>49702667
>The only reason you qualified is because fig had to use his potatOS, lol
Hey now, I still came in 6th in qualifiers, give me some credit. There's still a tiny shred of possibility I could've still qualified. Maybe.

>>49702653
>should we start inviting kissu and wap to our next races?
Yes! The more the merrier!
Also I suggest we start the qualis at the same time for both (or more) groups, in order to save time. Kinda like we did today but a bit more organized.

>>49702150
HUH now that I see this I think it's funny how the first 4 places are exactly the same racers that ended in the first 4 places in the tourney

>>49702643
Guess this meme >>49693600 will have to wait....

I'd like to give big props to figamin for showing up and to Yoyo for managing to qualify and even win 2 races in his first tourney appearance!
It's always really cool to see more people join and see them progress and have a good time.
Kanpai!

Hey Van Dough, you're the one who manages the lobby and has been keeping track of placing and score and the threads, and all that, right? Props to you too friend. Thanks for doing what you do for these. These are a lot of fun and something to look forward to, and your efforts are appreciated.

>>49702657
>I also wouldn't mind having an extra race in the qualifiers to reduce the chance of someone failing to qualify from getting unlucky
I agree. Of the three qualifier tracks, two of them were my very worst tracks. If figamin hadn't had technical difficulties, I probably would have lost my chance to compete on that alone. Wouldn't mind an extra race to help smooth out the randomness.

>>49702759
Nvm, I forgot that it was only one of them. Still, I think adding an extra race wouldn't break the bank so long as we did it quick.

Bump.
Just about to start on the art I owe, and I won't let this thread die before then danggit.

>>49702754
Thanks, just doing my part of making the board a little better by doing something fun with frens that anyone can join. Someone's gotta manage it and I'm glad it's caught on and people look forward to it.

>>49702644
Done! Congratulations DLL!
Spent a million hours on this in paint but it was worth it.

Cherry, here's the art I owe you for the 3rd tourney from way back I-don't-even-know when.
One down, two to go!
>>49706553
lmao, that's great. Not him, but I love it.

I was about to finish my artwork and fucking ms paint decided to crash on me......... REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

4th tournament winner DLL's art! I wasn't there for this one, but well played!
Two down, one more to go. I'll have to get to it tomorrow, too sleepy right now.
>>49706722
Ooh, been there before. I've learned the hard way to save often.

>>49706622
I am him and currently LMAO at Nue
Excellent job!
>>49706972
Cute yet detailed, nice! Seija's face reminds me of western animation for some reason.

>>49706972
This one is very striking, I love Seija's face.

And here's my final 'Piece for this last tournament. Congrats again DLL for pulling off the back-to-back wins. Your team gave me the opportunity to draw Clownpiece, and I think she turned out pretty good! Pretty cute honestly.
>>49707114
>>49707256
Thx!

>>49710461
Also cute, thanks!

>>49702586
Well, I was thinking something very roughly along these lines. Suika would just be really big obvi, but I can probably think of a fun idea using Clownpiece too. It was just one of those ideas that came to me right away is all.
Since it's your second win, you'll get a digital picture from me either way but it just might take some time.
>>49702716
I second this, there's gotta be some good racers over there and it could encourage more game nights with other fun /jp/-esque racing games too.
4 qualifying races also sounds perfect to me. 3 maybe if we were ultra-competitive lol
>>49706553
QUALITY.
What a wonderful gift from the newcomer, love the little stylization you do with your pixel art.
>>49706622
Also great, sugoi even...Koish as just a giant eye is sorta horrifying but they both portray my emotions at the time well. Thank you very kindly. The others are adorable too of course, Winrar 4 has to be my favorite though. Adora-Nue my beloved...

Ay hol up, what characters did DLL use this time? I could've sworn it was Nue and Seija like last time but apparently it was Clownpiece instead of Seija? I might have been too drunk to recall properly

>>49714096
Nue and Clownpiece of course

>>49711898
Big Suika is cooool. Maybe I should play with her next time.
>>49714096
I've started taking a screenshot of the lobby beforehand to avoid this kind of situash. Retar was using Suika and VD was using Seija.

>>49715056
>I've started taking a screenshot of the lobby beforehand to avoid this kind of situash
Big smart

Damn I think this might be my masterpiece so far. Kind of a blessing that Paint crashed out on me yesterday.
Congrats DLL. I propose the winner gets to draw the promo for the next tourney, watchu think?

>>49715503
Epic clown feet!
>winner gets to draw the promo for the next tourney
Gah, and here I was thinking winning conveniently gets me out of having to do shitscribbles... I'll give it a try.

>>49715558
Slightly better version

>>49716021
Fuck okay final version I promise. I'll close paint and go to sleep because I get autistic over details.

>>49716021
Fuck okay final version I promise. I'll close paint now and go to sleep because I get autistic over details.

Haven't drawn anything conventionally in a while so this ended up being pretty sloppy

>>49716021
Fuck okay final version I promise. I'll close paint now and go to sleep because I get super autistic over details.

>>49716324
Also what the fuck DLL, you used fucking Nue instead of Seija? Whatever dude, you get stuck with Seija for your drawing

>>49716021
Fuck okay final version I promise. I'll close paint now and go to sleep because I get super autistic over details.

>>49716376
I regret nothing, it was worth it. My autism is soothed. G'night.

aw missed it?

>>49719189
yeah you really missed out. we even held qualis for the first time so in case you join us next tourney you're guaranteed to see some action.

Do people meet up to play at all between tournaments? Practicing against CPUs isn't all that fun.

>>49720800
That sometimes happens on the weekends, but if there are other overlapping gamenights elsewhere then it's likely a no for obvious reasons.
Really just depends if enough anons are around at the right time, or we purposefully schedule a fun race session ahead of time. Idk who usually opens those dialogues though, I'm no host.

>>49716324
Good slop! Almost the exact words in my head at that winning moment.
>>49716371
>you get stuck with Seija
I'll take either/or, man.

>>49720800
Yeah usually we race every Friday night and in between tourneys the lobby rarely fillus up to capacity, so you could join in this weekend and get some racing in with some of the regulars

>>49720920
Sweet.

you guys racing tomorrow?

>>49728554
I will if others are

>>49728554
>>49728798
Yeah same, plus it seems like we got some new racists so it should be fun

>>49728554
i will be there if there is a server open, though i might leave early for the Doom game night

>>49729307
oi anon I don't post on kissu, could you get the word out there about race nights and the tourney to bring in more players please

>>49728554
I'm always down.

>>49729360
Why don't you start then? Are you allergic to other sites or something?

>>49729360
sure, but i think is a bit too late to start advertising for tomorrow's race, add to that the current game night, so i will post about the next race night

>>49729585
yeah kinda, i am autistic and don't like change except when change comes to me

Nice, I'll make a lobby then so we start at the usual hours (9 pm est). Might race for an hour or a lil bit more.
Hope to see the newfrens we saw at the tourney and new newfrens that might join

>>49729856
Looking forward to it!

Starting in about an hour!!!
Stay posted for the lobby and password

Server's up!!!

/jp/ racing

>pass
dokidoki

lol

I can't seem to join. is it because you're in a race?

>>49733894
Yeah, try to join now.

>>49733894
nevermind.

Based Sanny giving me the W with her bullshit

LET ME IN

>>49733923
JOIN NOW

>>49733922
It's what I do best lel

I'm joining the /jp/ discord room. Suck it fags

fester...

>>49733936
wtf is that

how do you like them apples!?

>>49733942
...Yes?

Damn that was one of my clutchiest victories

fester... do you like hurting other people?

Let's take a 10 min break, I need to take a piss and replenish my drink!!

>>49733978
When you've been hurt as much as I have, I guess it only comes natural that I end up hurting those that come near me as well...
kek

I keep getting fucked by items, but I never can figure out how to do the fucking. why does the game never give me anything but tengu fans and sakuya knives? :(

>>49733991
Have you tried waiting for your meter to fill up to the second level to get the better items?

>>49733985
...i am TRYING to get as far away from you as i possibly can!

>>49734005
yeah, and some of those items are decent, but it's really hard to save up meter when you need to swap characters for speed. and sadly some of those items really aren't worth two whole bars

new racer? welcome and we are starting soon

This game has the most retarded server joining system I've ever seen. At least let me join the fucking thing and spectate

if you are brand new, i recommend finishing the campaign first, that way you can get used to the controls and mechanics, this game is quite punishing if you dont understand it...

>>49734052
Join now!

>>49734052
You can join now

I fucked with an item :3

Yoyo with the W!!!

>>49734072
no need to hype me up, I know how cool I am!

i need to change characters! wait!

you dumb mfers all you have to do is take kaiser out to have a shot at winning but NO, you take out everybody else

ok, wait another minute, i need to change chacs again

>>49734106
someone please let this guy change characters...!

Enough BULLSHIT. It's time to unleash the beast and stop letting you fagets win.

Yo, we got a full lobby!

>>49734118
We'll see about that

Ayo new racer! Hi faggot! I mean maggot!

come one guys! we have to beat that kaiser guy!

Who throws a fucking Koishi there. Fuck you in the ass with a cactus sideways. I fucking rage at this faggot ass game, fuck you.

What's the point of switching characters?

Seija can take those turns so tight that it's heavenly

>>49734143
makes you faster!

>>49734143
The character on the bottom determines your current stats like top speed, acceleration, and drifting. Also, switching gives a small speed boost in exchange for meter.

Wow, that level is shit

new promising racer?

First victory for faggot! Congrats!!

>>49734183
say his name!

wow I dc'd at the worst possible time

Gimme 5, I need another drink!!!!

you didn't respect maggot, and now he's gone...
you know, maybe we should make a guide for new racers, so they don't feel so far behind.

>>49734207
I'm learning no need to spoonfeed

>>49734207
I think he was just switching characters lol. I've been jebaited by that before.

>>49734198
FAGGOT!

>>49734207
maybe, would new racers even read it... or would their prideful racer heart get in the way?

>>49734211
say his name!

The drifting mechanic is pretty fun. I'm having a good time

>>49734233
I like how it inhibits acceleration but preserves speed. makes it interesting to try to time drifts perfectly right after boosts

DID YOU GUYS HAVE TO HIT ME WITH FIVE ITEMS IN A ROW RIGHT AT THE END

>>49734248
yes, gotta teach you a lesson

I WASN'T EVEN IN FIRST WHEN THE SECOND SANAE LW WAS USED

Stay mad

>>49734272
I WILL

>>49734272
My brother!

You guys never noticed how the in-game gallery doesn't let you look up the girls' skirts?

Damn, with all these new racists the next tourney and its qualis gonna be LIT AF FRFR

>>49734283
*ever

>>49734283
i do that mid race

>>49734283
I have. A shame really.

>>49734282
Now you cost me my victory, fuck you

>>49734290
yeah, cant wait, i think i can finally defeat him...

>>49734290
It'd be nice if we could figure out a way in which more than seven racers could compete in the proper tournament.

once wasnt enough?

>>49734306
DLL?

>>49734318
we do... we even had a test run of 8 racers in the last tournament

>>49734325
I wouldn't call the qualifiers the proper tournament

>>49734318
Idk, I think 7 keeps it elite for the tourney proper. We could expand the qualis however, something like 5 rounds so everybody gets some action.

fuck you sanae

Looks like everyone's done then?

i accidentally left the server

Thank you all for cumming!!!! Super fun as always
If you wanna race tomorrow or next weekend I suggest making a new thread

DON'T FORGET
Next tourney is Friday, August 8th
Let's race more till then, good racing gg kudos fist bump and kanpai!!!!!!!!

everyone left so quickly that it was like a hivemind

I left as soon as it made me the host. Don't want that responsibility lol. Fun races as always friends. I feel like these are getting better and better!
>>49734353
Love you too Anon~!

ggs everyone, thanks for a fun first time, I will def try to pull up for the next tourney

>>49734367
