locked to style/distance are 2x as good as unlocked
gold skills are 3x better than basic versions
for example, Super Creek's Swinging Maestro is worth 3 skills. It can make or break your run.
FineMotion can give Speed Star, a Pace locked Gold skill. It's absurd as it sounds if you get it.
green skills are +40 stat at Lv1, +60 at Lv2. the image on the icon is the stat. these can surpass the 1200 stat limit
acceleration is OP
final spurt/late race > mid race > early race
debuffs aren't worth it over an actual skill, but you absolutely should make a dedicated debuffer for each role
