I'm miles above everyone else on the board, but I figured I'd post this question here anyway, since this seems like the best place. Here goes-ies.
I can't seem to decide what kart is better - the Egg 1, or the Dry Bomber. Certainly, these two karts are far and away the best, but... Eh. The Dry Bomber's advantage is obvious - the acceleration is better, and thus it recovers from items more easily, it recieves longer boosts from miniturbos, and thus it is much, much better for PRBing. The Egg 1 can still PRB, and it's faster, it can dodge blue shells much easier, and when not PRBing it recieves less of a penalty for going off-course. Hmm. They really are about even... |

I hope this isn't considered a bump, it's only 5 days old... 
Anyway, this is a great game. I already sent you (Sukasa) a PM, but I wanted to post to show others my code. It's 339378-624196. I'm no pro or anything, but I'm definitely not mediocre. Heck, I don't even have a start by my name, though that's because I wasn't good when I beat all the prix's. I retried the leaf cup today and got 3 starts first try, though. Anyway, just like Sukasa, if anyone wants to race me, send me a PM. I snake, but if you don't and think I shouldn't, just let me know in your PM. I do love this game! Though it ticks me off when people have bad emblems. Anyway, I like the Wi-Fi portion alot. My closest race ever that I won was against "Yumi", with 580+ wins, 600+ losses. As of now, my wins/losses are 66:19, though, and I wouldn't mind a few more, or at least a challenge. Reading this back over, the elements in my post seem to tie in together less and less.  I'm just tired, I guess. |

I was in the middle of a little Wi-Fi story, so I thought I'd include that event. It's loosely related to Wi-Fi, so I thought, "Bah, what the hell, I'll put it in there." |

Well, it USED to be called SSMTing (straight stretch mini-turbo), but snaking caught on with the newbies, and there are just so many more of them, and it just won out through being seen more often. |

I just find it funny that "snaking" is the accepted term for a technique that doesn't really look much like a snake at all; it's just powersliding at every available opportunity.
F-Zero GX...now THAT'S snaking. I'm not well-versed in MK beyond that, so I'll take my leave now. |

You guys don't know what I'm talking about, but you think you do.
And that's sad. |

Oh. I've done that type of thing before... But if I ever tried it on Rainbow Road, chances are I'll fall off or a head-on collision into the wall. I liked how the Rainbow Road in MK: Super Circuit worked; the ramps on the sides of the course helped me skip about half of it; shaving off about an extra 30 seconds or so on the total time. I just watched the replay yesterday, and I just couldn't believe how I managed to do that.
If I can pull off that PRB, I might be able to be about 20 seconds in front of my sister. I already can get ahead of her by 10 with minimal snaking. She doesn't play much...
I remember when I was playing Wi-Fi, I had to eat since the food was ready. I hit Start, thinking I could pause it. (I had no idea what I hell I was thinking.) I put the DS down for about a minute, and I realized what happened. The guy just finished. There was this other time when my cellphone died, so I had to use the payphone outside to get my sister's friend code. As I got up, I hit my leg on a metallic chair bolted to the floor. It made a loud "CLANG" noise. I looked around, and saw that everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me. |

Perpetual Rocket Boost. It's a trick to drastically extend the length of boosts from a rocket start and boost panels through snaking. |

PRB? I've never heard that one... |
| Alastor Posts: 6705/8204 |
Originally posted by Sukasa +At least, that's how it works until someone like me rolls around, who uses the weaving track and the constant boosts to PRB 3/4 of the course. |

I snake only when my opponent snakes like KATW does.
However, if I'm playing in a tournament, I'll snake whether my opponent does or not.  |

I nearly beat a snaker on Delfino Square: I got lucky enough to get two sets of triple mushrooms and took the small cut-through near the end of the course both times. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a third set of mushrooms to keep up on the final lap. |
| Sukasa Posts: 1422/2068 |
Yeah, Rainbow Road is a good anti-snaking course... I've played snakers on it; they couldn't snake. |
| HyperHacker Posts: 2779/5072 |
Yeah, you basically need to get lucky with items or the snaking bastard falling off the track. |
| Kattwah Posts: 2571/3349 |
Near impossible...
My friends, in 200 races, only beat me once (I snake). Thats because they all got blue shells and fired them off in perfect timing... Then there were red shells...
Not to mention the banana the made me slide off the edge. Im not going to get into the "OMG SNAKRZ GO DEI" argument again. All I know is that if you snake, Ill snake. If you dont, Ill try my hardest to go easier on you. |
| Sukasa Posts: 1417/2068 |
Managed it a couple of times... mostly on Rainbow Road though  If I can get you on that, you aren't snaking (unless you want to fall off )... and as long as I don't fall off or get blue shelled on the last section, I've got a pretty good chance at winning... at least, that's how it's played out for me... |
