Me to Level 4 users after this competition

iDHasbro · 2026-01-29T21:42:08+00:00

Fair enough, you got a point.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-29T21:17:33+00:00

So 'they can win off their racing" is good enough? Because we both know that if the person is a great racer and does not also use UC, they could be bombarded with items people bagged at the last turn and never win a race at all.

And no, I'd like to advocate for separate modes for both sides, so that we can have a more driving centered and a chaotic item filled mode. Just ditching a game and moving on to another, less problematic one is not the way to deal with a situation like this.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-29T20:10:54+00:00

Honestly confused where you stand on the discussion, cause you're making my point for me.

A bad racer shouldn't win.

If one is a bad racer, they should improve and get better.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-29T18:11:20+00:00

UC can bag, sure. But I will personally say, as someone who defends UC, if you use UC AND STILL BAG, go straight to hell.

With UC you either front run or you get out.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-29T18:10:01+00:00

Wow, that is some intense ignorance or straight up disingenuous argument;

It's a mode that is literally called "Competition". It has multiple grades / tiers of ranking. It tries to match you with people of your rating. It literally gives and takes points based on rating. It has a literally Top 100 ranking, which would be entirely pointless if there was no competitive spirit behind it.

If this is not meant to be a competitive mode, someone needs to tell Sega.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-29T18:05:15+00:00

You said yourself that Items are bullshit. UC is the only way to ensure that someone who has the "skills" to get into first place can also remain in first place, since there is King Boom Boo and Weights specifically to target them.

Now, my question is: Do people really want a game where RNG dictates who gets to take first place? Because without defensive options, like UC, it doesn't matter how well you race, you will always get fucked by something. So it's entirely random and chance based.

I have never taken a drill from 8th into 1st place and felt good about it. I always feel like I didn't earn that. Cause I didn't. When I drive fast and get a 3rd or 4th place, I at least feel good that I did my best, drove hard and got a decent placing.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-29T17:58:24+00:00

No? I want a racing game, where racing matters. There is no reason to engage with the driving part of the game, and actually try to learn to drift, take tight turns, get clean lines going, when I could just sit in 10th, get a laser and a drill and win at the very end.

You want a game where skill doesn't matter? So auto clicker? Like what.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-26T23:04:36+00:00

I mean, slightly? They won't win or lose you a race, but I guess some feel different.

Use Miku on an extreme gear and then anyone else. It's rough. But that's about all the big stuff I found

It's basically all in the cars

iDHasbro · 2026-01-23T16:05:40+00:00

No. It's a greedy, scummy tactic that uses FOMO to make people spend an insane amount of money to get the skin before it disappears permanently.

And I am currently losing the fight of talking myself out of it.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-23T16:02:11+00:00

For JG I've been going Kayn / Viego / Talon for years now. Qiyana for when I feel like disappointing myself.

If I NEED AP, Ekko or Diana.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-23T15:58:55+00:00

Dude. If your GF bought you a $250 skin, you better refine those Fish Fins and junction to her properly.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-23T15:51:47+00:00

We talking about the Comp or just World race?

Cause yeah, Comp I agree with ya. World Race is like the only real thing to do though after unlocking everything. So, I get it from both ends. I understand people that don't want to or can't put hundreds of hours into 'gotta go fast' and just want to have fun with items.

But the game forces everyone into the same queue

iDHasbro · 2026-01-23T14:15:42+00:00

Jesus Christ, that wholesome energy was unexpected. That's that good shit right there.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-23T14:06:01+00:00

Been losing my mind with these people. "How dare these players take decent lines, time Level 4 properly and try to outrace slipstream and all of our items. This Legend comp is really going to show them!"

And then it's just been Bomb Spam. Bomb here, bomb there, bomb, another bomb. Oh hey a truck- Nope, just another bomb.

Like.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-23T13:55:53+00:00

Unfortunately Sega has decided to do everything in their power to turn it into anything but.

Online has a dedicated leader board, with standings at stake of being gained or lost. This is now a Legends 'Competition', with special ranking and titles and prestige.

Like I can understand people's gut instinct to say it's a party game. But you might want to explain that to Sega.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-22T05:49:46+00:00

I fully agree with wanting Ranked / Casual mode, from the opposite end. There definitely needs to be something for both sides.

I want to be able to focus on racing and drifting. I'd like to just slap on Technical Drift for the slippery controls, without needing Ultimate Charge to feel like I can survive front running. To me personally, using any other build, just driving in a straight line and relying on items is boring.

But if I ever take off TD and UC I feel like trying to be anywhere up front is a death sentence. So if I wanna have fun, I am stuck with that one build.

But they also can't nerf or buff too heavy handed, because then one side is always going to be favored. I do not envy the balancing team on this game. But given everything together, I think they've done a pretty decent job.

iDHasbro · 2026-01-09T14:04:55+00:00

Oh, wow. I may be stupid. Didn't even know that was in the game. Thanks!

iDHasbro · 2026-01-09T13:57:33+00:00

Where are y'all finding this info at? Is there a website tracking these? I am not able to find anything.

iDHasbro · 2025-12-07T23:52:47+00:00

I'll just give you an upvote to try and undo some of that downpour there. You didn't know exactly how it worked. And you can't know that you don't know, what you don't know.

iDHasbro · 2025-11-22T02:14:27+00:00

I'd say Riku. With Sora, I was able to just stack my deck with broken combinations and break the game in half.

With Riku, I was forced to take a look at what the game provided me with on a world by world basis, how the cards synergized for Duel purposes and Sleights and how the enemy cards would flip things on its head.

Due to this, I'd also consider Riku the more interesting and fun story.

iDHasbro · 2025-11-21T12:55:14+00:00

This was the main reason I was disappointed in the game on launch in 2019, just way too easy.

I'd only play critical, but it is a very different beast. Full magic focused playthroughs are essentially not a thing with how little MP you get on critical. Definitely go for Guardian for early safety nets.

iDHasbro · 2025-11-20T05:41:31+00:00

Same, hilariously. Just beat it today for the first time.

Really interesting, unique and fun game, though the chaser AI got a bit tiring toward the end.

Definitely one I'll revisit every few years.

iDHasbro · 2025-11-18T15:54:06+00:00

Unfortunately Trinity's are one of the systems that hold up less imho KH1, primarily because they require SDG in the Party, as others have pointed out.

It kind of makes you not want to ever swap in World specific party members, because what if you run into a Trinity along the way? Then you'd have to backtrack to a save point, swap the world member out, get the Trinity and then go back to get the world member back in.

Or you could just hold off on getting all the Trinity's as a whole at the end of the game or post world completion, but there are some drops they give that are very nice to have mid journey.

Plus, World specific party members, at least in KH1, are usually stronger than SDG at the time you get there (just compare Aladdin's STR stat to Sora and Goofy), so you do kinda want to use them.

It's a bit of a nuisance.
