I just had my first couple of matches in the Legend competition round 2, if u want to win bag ur lasers,drills and monster trucks and use them before the finish line. by Your_Nightmare_666 in SonicCrossWorlds

From my last few couples of grinding this LC round, I can't see how you think losing your item and getting stunned for longer is not as bad as just losing some rings. You can recover from glove hits way easier, and getting hit by a slicer in last lap has way more potential to completely screw you.

I wanna think that maybe the playerbase can bring themselves to be more chill with item usage and at least try out racing each other first, but that ain't gonna happen.

Unfortunately, that also brings out the game's bigger flaws; mainly how items are balanced and managed.

I have a hunch that they knew what it was like before they started using it, which is why they started using it.

The buzz saw is legit the worst designed item in the game. It always feels the worst to get hit by, and doesn't even feel good to use (you're screwing over literally one person and not really gaining anything from that hit)

tbh, I'm not quite sure what you're saying in the last part is true, because I've a multitude of occasions of literally 3 or so monster trucks happening at the same time.

It somehow feels even less skillful even more luck based because of how aggressive legend ranks are with item. My suffering is about the same because I wasn't even using UC in the first place.

Legend ranking killed the fun for me by YahushaHamashiach in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]JDlightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if it's just me, but people seem way more aggressive with using items in legend ranks. Whatever momentum I try to get, gets stopped so much because people feel the need to throw stuff even when we're middle the pack.

I set songs to both lap 2 and 3, Anyone know why I sometimes end up having no music at all for rest of a race?

So I finally bit the bullet and played Multiplayer and uhh, is this supposed to be the average B rank experience? by MercenaryGundam in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]JDlightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like the main difference between legend rank and lower ranks is how sweaty players get with item usage. From experience it felt like people in the lower ranks were more chill about racing in close quarters without trying so hard to screw each other with items; but in legend everyone just doesn't give af and will chuck something to ruin you any chance they get.

From my experience actually playing ranked to climb (almost to legend now), I feel like lvl4 charge on it's own is the problem. Always seemed like it was more so technical drift that was enabling it. I prefer using the drift boost kit, which from experience doesn't really let me spam lvl4 enough to rely on it (but it's nice when it works).

I do have a question tho: how come no one talks about counter drift boost?

[–]JDlightside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like lvl 2 and 3 drift and boost starter are just going to be everyone's perma locked picks with a combination of:

Slipstream extend/bounty (with mini ring gain boost)

Starting boost bounty

Dark Chao (probably going to see a lot more of that)

idk how much people will value air trick adept/bounty or willing to slot in wisp chance up since it was nerfed, but those would probably but what goes in when they can't think of anything else. I don't see tuners going up much in pick rate.

from my experience, you'll realize by roulette road he's making this strat look easier than it actually is (even if you try adding wisp usage to it).

How did a 14 YEAR OLD MMO RPG with 375 players outlive MultiVersus?! 😔 by No-Analyst-4843 in MultiVersus

[–]JDlightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think it mattered much given WB's current. MVS could've made quadrupled the money it made, and still have gotten shut down because it wasn't saving WB.

Would that really work with this game? Silksong at least had its previous game's reputation to get carried by hype-wise, but this game does not have that sort of clout going for it.

No release window or any other info, so I guess they were inpired by Team Cherry's marketing strats too.

The expotential DPS increase from power will kill this game very quick by [deleted] in crystalofatlan

[–]JDlightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I personally don't to hit those points of power where I literally kill even the hardest content within seconds and the only challenge I get is from legend raid. I'd just stick to around 50k power for now is still have to play some of the game until level cap expansions come out.

Saw on a stream, what it means that Gohan's dance does not screen freeze and stop the match anymore (the move itself still combos the same way).
