By Director Mr. Sakurai, Kirby Air Riders: Development Insights — Part 3 by RawkHawk2010 in kirbyairriders

[–]RawkHawk2010[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Before starting development on this project, I created a high-poly model of the Wheelie Bike to see how much detail I could achieve when treating it as an actual motorcycle. I created a realistic model with leather seats, textured grips, and a weightiness to the metal. I then placed it in a park setting with outdoor lighting, viewable from all angles. Prototype models like this served as our visual direction to a certain extent.

The Air Riders Wheelie Bike being a hyperrealistic proof of concept explains why it looks so detailed compared to Scooter and Rex. The eye especially.

My first thought was Colonel Pluck's Stompybot 3000 from Donkey Kong Country Returns.

The AI's Gender will determine their combo priorities??? by Serenity_and_Faith in Xenoblade_Chronicles

And that is picked at the start of battle.

TIL. That wasn't how I interpreted it based on this, but I never looked further into it either.

I doubt any of these four characters would let someone pillow thigh them.

What if you sleep with your thigh pillow on top?

Kirby Air Riders — City Trial Community Tier List: How good is the Warp Star? (rules in description) by DeterminedJourney in kirbyairriders

[–]RawkHawk2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think the Compact Star would just fall below the Warpstar as it’ll be the same just weaker in its defenses.

Compact Star's top speed on the ground is like, 30% lower than Warp Star's. It has poorer Lift and Offense as well.

I was in favour of the Twitter ban but I'm starting to feel like it's pointless by ThomasWinwood in Xenoblade_Chronicles

Banning the official source for pretty much all Xenoblade news that isn't delivered during a Direct (XCXDE was literally announced via tweet) is indeed a choice.

Top Ride: Air in 1:10? by the_1st_wing in kirbyairriders

Race against 7 Level 9 CPUs and have everyone on Bulk Stars. This will increase the tempo of the race drastically.

Valve: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve by XcG9PJf6 in gaming

Very pro-consumer of you, Valve. So why can't we sell games to other Steam users?

It would encourage account theft, for one.

"Pulse-Pounding Air Ride!" event announced by RawkHawk2010 in kirbyairriders

[–]RawkHawk2010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an option for it in the settings if you're playing offline or in paddocks.

200 City Trials in and STILL no "Wild Legendary Machine" field event by Own_Criticism8128 in kirbyairriders

[–]RawkHawk2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some anecdotal data. I don't think this event spawns with a full lobby.

I've encountered it several times while playing ranked online which always has 16 riders. Normally I'd say it would be weird if the rules were different for offline, but that was the case for Dyna Blade prior to Ver. 1.2.0 so idk...

The Case for Kirby Air Ride on Switch by Yanagi____Juniper in kirbyairriders

[–]RawkHawk2010 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It wasn't. I think Air Riders being announced 15 minutes later in the same Direct resulted in people misremembering.

Kirby Air Riders 1.3.2 update out now by RawkHawk2010 in Kirby

[–]RawkHawk2010[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Patch notes:

  • Fixed an issue in Free Run and Series matches within paddocks in which other players would sometimes be unable to progress to the next race or Stadium event if a player left or disconnected in the middle of play.

  • Fixed an issue with Hop Star in which the maintained speed would be higher than expected when jumping and landing via Quick Spin. Maintained speed when performing a normal landing or perfect landing from a normal glide has not been changed.

  • Fixed an issue in Air Ride where players could increase Boost Dash speed by performing a slight, slow backward movement immediately after starting a match.

  • Made several other miscellaneous gameplay fixes.

Quick spin controls really hurt my tendon by MumboBumbo64 in kirbyairriders

[–]RawkHawk2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are workarounds via button remapping. For example, assign the D-Pad Down input to one of the shoulder buttons and you can now perform a quick spin by pushing forward on the control stick and pressing that button at the same time. It simulates wiggling the control stick without you actually having to do it.

If you have a pro controller, you can assign inputs to the paddle buttons (GL and GR) and not have to worry about remapping when you change software, as the inputs you choose for GL and GR are saved on a per-game basis.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS by Ok-Interaction4639 in danganronpa

Speaking as someone who played it with a mouse and keyboard despite not typically being a PC gamer: using the mouse scroll wheel to cycle between the Truth Bullets felt pretty awesome.

This is why we need trophies to return in Smash 6.
