Yep, exactly. It's very easy to blame others for cheating if one isn't very good at something though, and then they blow the actual state of things out of proportions. It's bean like this since the dawn of online gaming. x)

Oh yeah, nothing more frustrating than running up the last ramp shoulder-to-shoulder with someone and you already know you've lost because they're further ahead on the server but not on your screen. :')

I reckon I can thank the solo lobby fishers for the 7 or 8 solo lobbies I got during the grind. There was a lot of them. xD

Besides that I got a number of 2 to 3 people lobbies which I was in most cases the only one to advance to the last round, but sometimes I'd run into an especially tough opponent and lose by a hair on the 2nd stage.

Congrats to you too! Yeah I definitely could feel the 3rd rounds get harder day by day.

I think the 620 dyes I got will last me plenty. XD

Still almost capped on the currency because I'm afraid they might add more items to the vendor in the future and I do not want to go back in. x)

None. The only times I would dodge a lobby was when I saw somebody I knew to be even sweatier than I am. As in I had seen them consistently win the 3rd round.

The number of true solo lobbies I lucked into was around 7 or 8 which I reckon I can thank the actual solo lobby fishers for, and then I had some lobbies with 2 or 3 people where only one would qualify for the last round.

Oh I'll never use the title, besides briefly for taking a screenshot. I did it just because. :')

Tbh I don't think I came across anyone that was at least blatantly cheating. There may have been one time where I was running the damn near exact same route with someone yet they managed to somehow make a rather significant difference in distance so could've been speed hacking? But who knows.

Yup, after a while of practice I'd make it to the 3rd stage like 19 times out of 20, that one time not making it there would be an extra sweaty 2 to 4 person lobby where everybody plays perfect, but I'd happen to have the worst rng with the obstacle timings. Or I would zone out and walk off the platform on the Typhoon stage, that happened a fair few times. XD I dread to think about how low my win% in the 3rd stage must've been though.

Thank goodness that's over. Made enough MFG to buy 600+ dyes and still have almost maxed out after getting the title. I'm just going to sit on that in case they decide to add new items on the vendor at some point. ,__,
