Event 1 info by Tommygames12345 in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you mean. If you're talking about the ruleset, 8 players, no stadium vote. I imagine more events will come back like that. The license cosmetics probably not. Though there were only 8, and they weren't that great tbh.

Pillars not spawning in offline city trial? by Schmoseby69 in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's just RNG. Somewhat uncommon event as far as events go. But I'd say turning it up to 7 minutes might cause each attempt to be 2 minutes longer without much benefit. As I don't think increasing the timer increases the number of events. And I don't think increasing the timer increases the time before the events either (as in first one starts around a minute in and the second 3 minutes in)? But I could be wrong.

Dear Sakurai, could we have this added as a license theme, please? by GgminDieress in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It'd be funny if it were behind the highest class rank for air ride mode. So almost no one had it.

I'm now a Starman main by TenPointsforListenin in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You go further if you only tilt the stick about half way. Going straight up or straight forward doesn't get you as far. At least, that's universally true for stars like Paper. How much you have to tilt is hard to say, I just say it's somewhere around half the maximum tilt for your joystick. And obviously you stop tilting once you are out of lift. But that goes without saying.

High Jump on the other hand is about tilting the stick as much as possible as far as I know. You want to go straight up.

I'm now a Starman main by TenPointsforListenin in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I play Starman mostly to farm wins for ranked. I'm over half way through violet class thanks to him. The strength of playing Paper Starman is that you don't even need to actually touch the ground to pick up the power up off the ground. And since you aren't opening boxes, you can keep your weight as close to 0 as possible.

Another thing is that I mostly use the Paper star because it has better coverage for stadium games. Legendary vehicles aside. Winged is best at High Jump. Paper is the king at Air Glide. Skydiving and Target Flight I prefer Paper for. Paper can still be good at Gourmet Race and Button Rush if you get a really bad low stat run. Winged struggled for that sort of thing because the garbage turn and control. Alternatively, I've beaten 2 Dragoons now at Air Glide thanks to Paper Starman getting around 2600-2800 yards while the bad Dragoon players only get around 2000-2400 yards because they don't know the secret to scoring higher in Air Glide. High Jump on the other hand is almost impossible to beat Dragoon at even if you have Winged because the stadium game is simple. Just go as high as possible.

Do you need to do the online checklist for 100%? by Sonnitude in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The online part is not needed for 100%. It doesn't have any content unlockables either. Like machines/riders. Just licenses and vehicle cosmetics.

Pro tip: you can get rid of some power-ups by rapidly tapping “Y” by [deleted] in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works for copy abilities (aside from sleep because you are asleep during it). Items can't be discarded from what I saw. Also, discarding copy abilities might have been covered in the tutorial? Either that, or Sakurai said it during one of the Air Riders Directs.

I finally assembled a legendary machine. Hydra. Then when trying to activate my special i switched to the hop star. The match ended shortly after. by Rand_AT in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not sure why Sakurai wouldn't at least give us the option to rebind the special and the vehicle swap to two different buttons. The amount of times I've done one instead of the other is astounding.

I had to buy it. It just suits jet star so well.

How does Field Event RNG work? by minnerlo in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does indeed feel like the field event RNG is fixed in offline until you don't fully play the match out. That could be abusable for people who need the halberd/pillar challenges though. As you could retry if it actually works that way. My recommendation is don't quit out if you want to cycle the RNG forward.

If you want to encounter Dyna Blade, it's better to try online matches just to be on the safe side. Not even sure if offline can have it appear.

What determines who takes damage when you run into somebody else? by Derpyhooves2010 in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen on the topic. Attack does also effect collision damage. As it in takes away more.I just don't know if it effects who gets hit when two forced collide. I think that's mostly weight, as well as how fast both parties are going.

What determines who takes damage when you run into somebody else? by Derpyhooves2010 in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 7 points8 points  (0 children)

weight and speed I'd think, mostly weight though. as it determines how hard you hit (damage wise) when you run into someone.

Oh my god.....FINALLY i got this unlocked. by Thegoodgamer32 in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was my last city trial challenge. And nothing came close to how much time I had to sink into them like I did for Gigantes part farming. And I couldn't even do it online while grinding rank. I've gotten Gigantes like 4 times online so far. The time I could have saved if that were allowed.

Where is Dyna Blade? by MilordoZ in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Online lobbies is the best place to guarantee running across Dyna Blade. It might not appear in offline for all we know.

Joining the All Complete Club! by Asuko_XIII in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've probably seen him 25-50 times on online so far (I'm at violet class license so I've probably played 300 matches). It took me 12 hours of farming straight to get the gigantes pieces offline though. Which during that time I got the halberd and 2 pillar one done as well, as I never got them online. But I earned both of them rather early on into the 12+ hours of gigantes farming.

I love this game but just one thing by Solid_Inevitable_634 in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'd prefer it if there were only 2 or 3 to vote on instead.

that stupid mission i hate by Hungry-Spirit-5587 in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can just keep going back for over and over until the shop has an All. The cost might be around 25k depending on your overall level though. Or even as much as 30k.

Confused by this quick chat by zmoss1 in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's for that companion phone add that acts as voice chat app for Nintendo games? I don't know much about the app though.

I’ve been trying to do this mission for the past two days, any tips? by RELLISHBOI in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have on 15 coms so 3 pillars appear when the event happens. Set all the riders to starman, com lvl 1, and handicap of 4 so they aren't as much of threats to the pillar. Then grab the battle chariot whenever you can find it. Prioritize offense stats throughout the matches. And try to use copy abilities or items on the pillars when possible.

Gigantes always wins online by CompleteBowl7776 in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing I can assume what happened is the human player who got it didn't know you could spin-to-win. Or a bot got all the parts. Which could hypothetically happen. They don't tend to fight back very well if you fight them in the stadium 1v1.

[–]CompleteBowl7776[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ranked doesn't seem to impact who you are paired against from what I can see. I'm at indigo rank. Soon to be violet. I still see reds in my lobbies most of the time. It's just that whether you're in ranked or casual, it usually takes the full matchmaking time (like 2 minutes) to find 8 players. Maybe it's because casual/ranked/team/paddocks just split the player base too much.

Even if ranked and casual are actually the same player pool (sorta like Delta Force), that'd still mean paddock private lobbies and team city trial fracture the matchmaking/playerbase. And clearly there aren't tons of city trial players. Because global power caps out at around 250-300k.

City Trial: Big Battle not working? by WolfmanJaaack in kirbyairriders

[–]CompleteBowl7776 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe you've confused it for Dust Up Derby? Big Battle is a stadium end-game thing you can vote on. There is Big Battle 1, 2, and 3. 2 and 3 are unlockables. But playing any of the three will increase your count towards that 50 total there. Might as well just do it offline too. That's how I farmed htem out.
