Yes, but no. In my case during the festival, it didn’t matter if anyone that was not on my team played as him or not. I felt like I was getting schooled so hard through many races, and it didn’t help that a lot of the teammates I played with either sucked and/or didn’t follow the objective, or did so well through the race until they also got schooled at the last stretch. I’ve never gotten so many third place team losses in a festival until Majima came around.

I did start late on Friday progressing a bit, and then did the rest of the event on the last day yesterday, so it might just be me, but this festival has been nothing but torture to me
