Got to draw AiAi's outfit and 2D character portrait for CrossWorlds' Extreme Gear Edition modpack!

been playing penny's big breakaway and its awesome so far i like the feet guy with the balls

I FW Gemerl in IDW but I want to play the Advance series before I really get an idea of where he goes!

honestly no solid opinion of lunar. pretty cool design but didn't really do a lot for me during the previous arc

various animals tier list

It bothers me because they were VERY prompt about letting us know Legend Comp 2 was coming WEEKS ahead of time, and then they just tossed AiAi aside with no warning and have not provided any additional information since then

Like we're just not going to know for sure until the week it happens, days before he's actually supposed to hit. I just want to grind for Top 10 man I NEED TO KNOW WHAT WEEKEND IT'S HAPPENING. SAY SOMETHING, SONIC TEAM PLEASE 😭

This is a complete first-world issue but I think it's really absurd that CrossWorlds just has not put out ANY information with regards to February's event schedule. They are holding AiAi hostage and not providing any communication on when this fucker is actually dropping

Without spoiling ANYTHING I just want to say

I made the mistake of checking Twitter before being able to sit down and listen to the new Chaotix Casefiles. EVEN KNOWING WHAT I DID GOING INTO IT THOUGH??? I GOT CHILLS.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY

haha super monkey ball festival is totally this week guys right... haha...

...right :')

why hasn't the crossworlds account said anything

We didn't get to see too much of the face paint/makeup system but the one thing I hope gets brought back is the ability to have that stuff occupy the outer layer of Miis instead of just their head surface. This made a lot of the crazier stuff with floating face parts possible.

It does look like primitive shapes are back as well, to some capacity that wasn't made entirely clear. There's also a button for text LOL??? This is going to be an absolute game changer for Mii creation.

MAKEUP FEATURE WASN'T INTUITIVE ENOUGH THEY JUST SAID FUCK IT YOU DRAW EVERYTHING

oh my god. oh my god. OH MY GOD. O H MY GOD

I'VE HAD THIS VIDEO IN MY HEAD SINCE THE MOMENT I SAW THE MOD CREATOR POSTING IMAGES LOL

I love CrossWorlds modding

This GIF is both a blessing and a curse as it is one of the biggest boosts of mainstream awareness Super Monkey Ball has ever gotten with the long-term tradeoff that every single SMB post that leaves the community circle has at least 50 people only replying with this

And yes, there is also a config option for his classic fit! Both of these stamp packs will be released immediately when AiAi is added to the game officially.

These are in-game for real now btw :)

hell on earth

Conclusion:

- We did not need to delay AiAi's release for this
- UC is not the core issue
- Game feels worse w/o it
- AiAi should have released by now
- Item ecosystem needs to be looked at
- Slipstream overcentralizing is the reason packs never separate
- did I mention THEY DELAYED AIAI FOR THIS

Also I just hate to say it, this game just feels worse without UCTD. Technical Drift alone offers such silky smooth movement that compliments this game's track design and feels rewarding to master. That kind of movement expression being gone hurts the experience a lot.

CrossWorlds' flow without UCTD is extremely erratic and chaotic, moreso than other kart racers. UC is as dominant as it is because it creates a bubble that rewards players for skillful driving in an environment where items are extremely punishing.

Every. Single. Race. In this mode. Is the exact same thing.

Entire pack clumps up > Everyone rams each other with items because no one has any defensive options > Pack never separates because everyone is constantly slipstreaming off of each other to stay ahead > ???? > Race ends

Every issue that UC detractors pinned on UC is only compounded tenfold in this mode.
- Gameplay feels more linear than ever due to over-reliance on slipstream
- This, in turn, makes it so packs RARELY spread out, even more so than in UC meta.
- Skill is NOT rewarded with UC off.

🧵 My thoughts on Legend Comp 2:

This was awful. Getting rid of UC cold turkey and subjecting everyone to no-holds-barred item play is the worst possible thing they could have done to this game. UC is, in my eyes, a necessary evil in this game to even out how horribly unbalanced items are right now.
