I'd love for them to bring back the feather.
Really? I feel like I get such a good burst of speed to get past people just taking the boost pads.
I've been trying to perfect them on Rainbow Road (N64) and Bowsers Castle. I miss them sometimes on the flexible roads when they move like waves.
An advance technique from super smash bros 64 and melee.

An advanced technique from melee that reduced lag. It's been long debated as to whether or not it's worth having around, especially since it was removed from Brawl.
I was just messing around. <3

As someone who has just learned about this, and watching some videos, this seems more an advanced technique than cheating (for example, im of the opinion snaking WAS cheating). I dont think this hoping will help much if objects ar coming right your way during a normal match.
The only bad thing im seeing if im reading right is that this gives another disadvantage to the already difficult to use inner drifting bikes. Inner drifting bikes are awesome, but just commit a subtle change in the drift of a turn, and your bike will eb going on the dirt or to a hole.
Newman got it when going third place lol

ive seen my fair share of red shells in second place during the last lap

As far as I'm aware the game is meant to be played this way by the developers.

The only ones that can't have sharper turning than those who can.
My first upload! Hehe

Take a look at DKs ''let me take a selfie'' moment around ..0.07! The video is filled with minor fun looks and motions, pretty darn happy with it!

In regards to the hopping trick, it doesn't REALLY raise the skill ceiling since it's easy to do and, even worse, there's no real way to mess up. Worse case scenario isn't that you hop a few times more than usual and maintain a regular speed. Best case scenario, you boost a while longer.
It's basically a non choice. Everyone should just mash jump.
Again, this isn't as broken as snaking. It will shave maybe 3s off a race.

I really wish I had bought the Mario Kart console bundle for £200 when Tesco were doing it for that price. I can't find anyone offering a similar deal ATM.
Best princess indeed. Nice finish.
You should still take the boost pads; all three of them. But don't trick off of each. The third is probably fine to trick on, but the boost you get from the first two basically goes to waste since there's already another boost waiting for you before the trick's boost would come in use.
...I really suck at wording, sorry.
There are already 2 types of Kart players you know..."Causal" and "Competitive"
But seriously, it's nothing too serious to be overblown.

What time is it?
Does that create balance between the two types? Sorry for all of the questions.

You act like every match is a time trial. Spamming hop has consequences when you're racing others...

This was always my problem with L-cancelling. There was no reason NOT to do it. Whats the disadvantage of L-cancelling?
Point me to an official source. It's not described in the manual, CPUs never use it, Nintendo ghosts never use it, never seen it in media nor have I heard about it from an interview.
I'm specifically talking about artificially increasing the effect of drift boosting by hopping.

Probably not? That said, I win plenty in GAF rooms using the inferior type. Granted, as the new tech spreads I'll likely need to adapt. We'll see.
Yeah... after thinking it over a bit I'm sure Online MP will still be fine. It's really only beneficial for time trials and that's where you want all sorts of cool advanced techniques to shorten the time, especially if they lead to inventive shortcuts!
What consequences?
The worst I can think is maybe making yourself an easy target for being crashed into.

ghost doing first turn with the hops vs doing it without the hops
you can see how much the bunny hopping keeps the boost active
Considering heavies unlike other classes can reach a balanced 4 acceleration with 3.75/4.25 speed with the four main bikes. Yeah if atlease very slightly.

HUH HAAAEEEEUUUHH
I've been trying the voice out on the family
It hasn't been going over well, and the cats look at me like I'm an idiot
Wow...those highlights were really good.
Something is bothering me though...I have yet to see a Yoshi riding a Yoshi bike in the uploads...I have my video but can't upload due to my slow mobile internet.
What balance? Inward drift bikes were nerfed to hell and back in this game. This is just the nail in their coffin.
One of the first things I did when I unlocked that bike. Yoshi riding a Yoshi bike in Yoshi's Valley. That's as good as life gets right there.

The strategy in L canceling comes from the perspective of the other player. Depending on how they react to your attacks the timing from L canceling is changed. This leaves the options to defend in an unexpected way to try to throw off L canceling timing in hopes of a swift counterattack.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was referring to.
Is this not a problem for other people? I run with a fatty and I still get pushed around while hopping.
What he means is we don't know wheter it is intended or not by the developer to be played this way.
Could you provide evidence of your point?
Over the last few days, I've been having a lot of gamepad and pro controller sync issues. I'll be mid-race, in a slide, and my pro controller will go dead for a couple seconds, and then come right back. The gamepad can't keep sync for shit, it's constantly telling me its disconnected. I've been looking online about the issue, and it seems rather prevalent.
Anyone have similar issues, but found an actual fix?

Who plays video games on GAF? We're just here to argue about them.
I normally play more then i browse gaf last month has been exception thanks to an injury
I think it's just scheduled for another time.

How is it artificial if the increase is actual? Does the manual explain everything? Are the developers always the best at their own games? Should you not use combos in Street Fighter 4 that aren't in the training? Is the community never supposed to advance the game in a competitive scene?
This type of stuff happens in EVERY competitive game. You either get better or get left behind. There isn't anything wrong with that at all.
Honestly, having dealt with physics programming myself, I think this is just a programmed attribute associated with being airborne.
You remove friction / traction which means that you maintain your momentum. Since hopping does not reduce speed, you can maintain boost for a longer time.
Whether or not it's intentional is hard to answer if not impossible. If I were to guess, this is merely a side effect of hopping not using a physics exception / speed reduction.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
The greatest.
So after trying it out a bit... I'm not terribly bothered by it. It's not super useful in every track and in the chaos of a race you actually leave yourself open to get smacked in the face or knocked aside by someone.
I guess it'll depend on how effective people get at using it after practice, but it doesn't dramatically alter the way you play the game like snaking did and you have to give up inline drifting as a trade-off. Intentional or not it seems fine.

I still think we should ban users for ever not voting for Mount Wario.
No problem. I didn't really hate you...
I did save some red shells just for you in the following race though
