Okey doke. What was the last race/snowboard related thing you did Ms. Maltinie?

9431...

Went and practiced on an old favorite course of mine, surely you remember Sunset Rock? I like getting my bearings there because it forces myself to maintain balance and control while still focusing on my skills.

Any of the other kids still meet up with you?

Hmm if we started at 999 we'd be over half done.

Gecko: That is why we didn't... besides talking about random stuff is fun. Such as... uh... donuts!

GeckoPwnz · Feb 18, 2009#5812009-02-18T01:57

... And timbits which are probably made of donut holes!

Yes, Snowboard Kids fever has hit Queensland, and in a big way!

Peachrocks · Feb 21, 2009#5852009-02-21T19:01

9422

Yup

. I certainly hope we can get some real SBK just for fun play session stuff happening here.

Theres a good chance it will happen today.
Maybe 7 hours from now...I should get some sleep...sometime.

Peachrocks · Feb 21, 2009#5872009-02-21T19:40

9420

Yup you probably should...

DJCat · Feb 21, 2009#5882009-02-21T20:20

I'd say, I just wish something would start up in Canada. I mean in the story thats where it all happened!

And DJ welcome to the forums!

Well... I think the thing about SBK is that many people know about it, its just they are scattered all over the place

Had time to play just a few races yesterday in Snowboard Kids 2, was great fun!
Wendy's House was a most enjoyable race.
And everyone watching was also quite interested.
Several people throughout the day proclaimed they're strong like for the game

AND, one was VERY interested in competitive SBK (Number 2 that is) taking off.
One suggested straight off the bat, having it as a side-tourney at our Smash Brawl tourny in a couple of weeks.

Okey doke... should be interesting to see how it goes and which characters get used

nicole couch · Feb 23, 2009#5952009-02-23T22:28

An SBK tourney? Cool. I also live in QLD, so maybe I will attend it. Where is it being held?

Also checking out results of a competition and the win ratios for the characters would help immensly for my tier list project. You could contribute to it, Cat, considering you actually have competitive SBK experience.

Did you just try and SKIP 100 NUMBERS!

Good thing I'm on the ball!
And I just came off a 12 hour night shift, but I'm still paying attention see!

We need to make up a rule-set of sorts, although it will be very basic.
Just what boards/characters are banned and then work out the best way to do tournaments.

Having said that I really love the laid-back, casual, but super fun styling of the game/s
We'll see what happens.

EDIT: OMG, same time posting, will edit my number!
Its just thoughts for now. Brisbane/Gold Coast area.

Doesn't look like I'm going to Australia anytime soon (or... ever) but some people in my school are going to perform there this March break. I think they're going to Sydney so I'm not sure if you guys are going to see them.

Oops. I guess we all make mistakes.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, Damien and all of the special boards should be banned. Perhaps even just limit it to Lv.1 Boards so it comes down to the player's skill and the character they chose. As for the tournament layout, if all the races were 4 player, then we'd need at least 16 players. The course would be slected at random (wouldn't know how we'd do that though). And the two players who finish in 1st and 2nd would move to the next round.

Well, tell me what you think of that idea. I'd appriciate it.

Although you might get some opposition in banning Damien and the boards, I guess its for the best. When going for tournaments like this I think the format should be different somehow, give the players a chance to do several races. But that might take alot of N64s, cartridges, and controllers so that option might be ruled out. Overall the idea is pretty good, best of luck doing it.

Sorry guys, I was too busy replying to DJ's message rather than actually playing the game... *looks nervously and giggles and everyone else facepalms*

Anyway, Damien has to be banned, its a no brainer. He's faster than Linda and turns better than Nancy and has the best jump height for defense, literally there's no reason to choose anyone else.

Special boards are out too, even you exclude the obvious Dragon and High tech boards, Charm Boards break the balance of the game because they allow a player to zip off into the lead with little to stop them. Aside from Star Boards the other choices are not too good and do we really want everyone picking star boards over and over?

Perhaps we should take this to another thread
