Of course, the question of "snaking" came up, whether multiplayer games are going to boil down to what's happened with Mario Kart DS: players simply powerdrifting on every possible straightaway as rapidly as possible. Well, with the new powersliding mechanic it makes it difficult for quick fingers to get more boosts than the racers with slower fingers. So perhaps this is Nintendo's way of combating the awkward "love it/hate it" snaking mechanic

I'm kind of torn on the whole snaking/no snaking matter.

I think in racing, it shouldn't be included. Some people just can't do it, and that's like giving an infinite supply of speed-boost items to whoever can do it. Plus, the race is more fun when you're concentrating on RACING skills and not swerving side-to-side skills.

On the other hand, I don't have a problem in it in battle mode. It's a challenging way to dodge attacks, but the speed boost doesn't help as much as in race mode. Plus, when you realise you've got .5 seconds to "snake away" from a blue shell, it lowers the playing field a bit.

Hmm...

well hey if it's gone, that'd be nice. If it's still there, none of my friends do it so it's fine.

I used to think I was good when I didn't snake, but honestly, you're pretty much a noob if you don't snake. By saying noob I mean not close to being skilled as the top.

I plan to snake once again.

I love how you do this but hate all the stuff in SSB

There's a huge difference between snaking and ssb glitching. Snaking is using something in the game repeatedly. Glitching is well not using what was given repeatedly it's glitching things that were given (way different than snaking). You're trying to tell me that I think turbo boosting is glitching. Snaking = turbo boosting. L-cancel = ???uhh glitch, SHFFLL-UP = ???uh glitch.

Both give a upper hand, regardless.

One is special motion of your thumbs and using a technique in the game one is glitching the game's physics and moves that aren't even normal.

So technically I can call you noob at Melee because you don't use advanced techs. Sounds good.




But prefer to use a less derogatory name, such as non-snakers. Or in Melee's case, average smashers.

I am seriously offended someone called me a noob, I'm like, pwnt.

Hi SN.

I have a question for you.

If someone doesn't snake they are a 'n00b' in your logic?

Also, you refuse to play a course that is not snake-friendly?

You mean one is a carpal tunnel inducing movement of the thumbs.

Yeah snaking is technicaly taking advantage of the game's physics, just like the 'glitches' in Melee.
