Tourney of Racism HYPE!!
I'm glad it's this week, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make it if it was next. I'll be at a local con all three days, so I won't be able to join the casual racism then.

newbie guide:>Basic Game Mechanics:
- Your current stats are those of the character who is currently the "board". Switching characters consumes a bit of spell meter, but it will switch the stats you are currently using, which can be very useful on different parts of the track. Learn the best places to switch characters to improve performance.
- The importance of all the stats is explained here: https://gensou-skydrift.fandom.com/wiki/Stats, but just know that they're all fairly important. It's recommended to choose two characters whose strengths complement each other. A good starting combination would be Reimu and Marisa: one is good at turning, the other is really fast, they're both fast in the air, and they're both relatively easy to use.
- Drifting helps conserve speed while changing direction and going around corners. Many characters slow down when turning normally, so drifting is highly useful in most cases.
- You gain spell meter quickly by passing through boost rings. You also gain it passively over time. Racers who are behind in the race get more spell meter than those in front.
- Pressing the spell button while the meter is full (green) will consume the meter and roll for a level 1 spellcard. Pressing the spell button while the meter is filled twice (blue) will consume the entire meter to roll for a level 2 spellcard (which is typically more potent). Generally, the racers in 1st-3rd place receive mostly offensive spellcards, racers in 4th-5th place receive both offensive and boosting spellcards, and the racers in 6th-7th place receive boosting spellcards. Spellcards can be seen here: https://gensou-skydrift.fandom.com/wiki/Spell_Cards
- When your LW meter (yellow) is full and your spell meter is also filled twice (it will appear yellow, too), you can press the spell button to consume both to get your LW. These spellcards are powerful and can change the course of a race. You typically can only use one, as most tracks aren't long enough to obtain a second.>Advanced Knowledge and Tricks:
- Switching characters gives you a small boost. This will let you gain speed even on sections with no boost rings, and it's very important for speeding up after getting hurt.
- Jumping spellcards can be used on some parts of the tracks to hop over short fences, sizable gaps, or onto higher ledges for the sake of shortcuts that can help you get way ahead. It's recommended to save those spellcards for these shortcuts. When using them, be sure to activate them early enough to gain the height you need (or else you will run into the wall).
- Pressing down while in the air can give you a small vertical boost, sometimes called an "elevator" by people on the wiki. Use this to gain a little bit more height while flying or to help you cross small gaps without falling in. This can help with cutting really tight corners over ledges, like on Embers of Blazing Hell or Underworld City Depths, or when taking big flying shortcuts, like on Sea of Tranquility and Redevelopment Area B. Just keep in mind that you can only do this a single time before you have to touch the ground again. Also, pressing up while in the air will speed your descent.
- Break Drifting is probably the most important technique if you want to go faster. Normally, drifting helps conserve the speed you already have while also lessening the amount of speed you gain from boosts. So if you start a drift at the exact moment a boost ends (and not too much sooner, or else will you miss out on some acceleration), you can keep your heightened speed for longer. This is called "break drifting": https://gensou-skydrift.fandom.com/wiki/Break_Drift. If you start break drifting after every single boost, you can stay at top speed constantly. Break drifting is more effective for characters with high Speed+Boost and low Drift, as they go faster and lose less speed from drifting..>General Advice:
- Some tracks have big hidden shortcuts that don't require items. Some of them just require you to fly fast enough and far enough to skip a section of track or land somewhere high up. Try exploring the tracks on your own, watching other people while racing, or saving replays to review later (CPU players don't bother with shortcuts, so you won't learn those from them).
- Racers often save their spellcards and LWs for the final lap to help secure victory at the last minute. Prepare for that with your own spellcards to take shortcuts and give yourself immunity to offensive LWs.
- Don't let it get to you when you get fucked up by spells and bad luck or just can't seem to get ahead of the other racers. We've all been there, and managing it is just part of the game. Just keep racing with us and keep learning more and trying new things, and you will get better with time and effort. Everyone here was also new once, after all.

1st place – 10 points
2nd – 8 points
3rd – 6 points
4th – 4 points
5th – 3 points
6th – 2 points
7th – 1 pointTOP 2 from each lobby qualify directly to the playoffs.
3rd and 4th placed racists advance to the WILD CARD RACE>PLAYOFFS
The player that finishes in LAST PLACE is automatically ELIMINATED. The rest of the players go on to the next race until ONLY 3 RACISTS ARE LEFT. They will then race in a single FINAL RACE, in which the one that finishes 1st becomes the Champ.(2 FULL LOBBIES)
12 regular rounds > Top 4 from each Lobby go through, however... > Best 2 from each Lobby automatically advance to the Playoffs (A1, A2, B1, B2) > A3, A4, B3 and B4 will race in a single WILD CARD RACE in which 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will go through to complete the final 7 player lobby > 5 playoff races in five different tracks until only 3 players remain > Final raceIf we don't get a full lobby we will just do points without eliminations.

I think last week someone complained about flan lw not working online, may aswell reply now to whoever that was... Flans lw online is weird due to lag of course, you need to be several character lengths ahead of someone just for it to register properly on their end, and even then flans lw has an anti griefing mechanism added to it and you can only hit each player once with it making it essentially completely useless except for using its high recharge rate to spam level 2 items sokner

That'll do it for me too, GGs! We ended up with a nicely stacked lobby and I'm glad I was able to rank up with you all.

I was thinking about giving this game a shot because I like racing games and see this thread pop up every once in a while in the catalog, but reading through your thread your interactions seem extremely homosexual. Shan't be playing + you need to go back to your holonigger or jphu threads

damn you aki, how the hell do you throw the mushroom on the ground like that, could never figure out on how to do that

Wait you can parry amulets with spirit strikes. Interesting.

Anon03/15/26, 06:11No.50761899
im absolutely garbage at throwing those amulets, pretty sure the hit and miss ratio is horrible lol

I'm curious, what are your guys' playtimes look like?
Though I dunno if you can even properly see that with the pirated version.

I’m not exactly sure, since I’ve fallen asleep with it still running, but I think I’ve played for about 200 hours.
