I meant that more in response to Mario kart. Snowboard Kids 1 while better than Mario Kart, its still lacking when compared to SBK2. I mean racing games in general are very rarely suited for this.

However why is SBK1 not as good: It's almost entirely because bombs can't be shot backwards so there is little to no point in leading the race, there are hardly any advantages to leading and as such the race feels a bit more artifical (rigged against the leader).

SBK+ would probably work though

.

Linda is right about dodging in 1, particularly with knowledge of where you are being attacked but its not always possible and some items are just terrible in accuracy in number 1. Snowmen in particular. Which results in 'please don't give me snowman or bombs'. Pans are also far nastier and ghosts cause falls more commonly.

You obviously haven't played me in Snowboard Kids 1, Peachy.

When I'm in the lead, I STAY in the lead.

That's especially true when you live half-way across the world.

Yup. Everyone is in their own communities, yet skill can be widely seperated between them

. Street Fighter 4 is a great example of this, there are so many nubs online in that game, yet I am far from good in the arcades.

I pre-ordered a DSi the other day. Anyone else getting one?

Did the same here, doesn't show up until April 5th here, but it'll do for me.

Don't even know what they are....

As fir Snowboard Kids...
Being in first is pretty good.
Rocks. Inconspicuous placement of rocks.

And the satisfaction when someome trips over them.
Priceless.
And I love how you can "tech" the frying pan.

Rocks are better in 2. SBK1 is not without its good points, and its not that's bad, I just feel SBK2 is better in terms of balance and overall gameplay.

Tripping over delibrately as so that you don't get hit.

9244

Could you do the same thing by doing by just doing grab tricks until you fall?

Peachrocks · Mar 16, 2009#7642009-03-16T18:28

Yeah that's what I mean

Snowboard Kids advanced tactics

@Rocks are better in 2?
Really?
They don't seem to slow you down as much and they seem noticeably smaller...

nicole couch · Mar 16, 2009#7662009-03-16T22:24

Ahhh, yeah, I know how to do that. I'll have to practice it though.

Rocks are smaller in two but they are more easily hidden in consequence

. Also the trip animation is shorter in 1, the character slides a fair distance while tripping in two and therefore takes longer to recover if only slightly. However above all they are vurnerable to attack the entire time, not so in SBK1.

Also you can place rocks in front of the lift as you get off in 2, this does not work in 1.

Not true! I have managed to pull a few rock traps in 1, they're not as helpful, because you need more distance for the rock to be effective.

Also, don't put it just in FRONT of the lift, put it in an area they can't help but have to hit the rock, usually the angle where they would turn works best.

Ya gotta love the overly obvious rock, and when people fall for that.

GeckoPwnz · Mar 17, 2009#7722009-03-17T18:50

I'd say, especially if they were actual people!

Peachrocks · Mar 17, 2009#7732009-03-17T20:44

9234

Wait what wasn't true?

Of course you can pull rock traps in SBK1, I think it's easier to do in 2. I'll give you that out in the open SBK1 rocks are better, but when hidden (both can be but there are more chances in SBK2) SBK2 rocks are superior, and there are more places you can hide them

DJCat · Mar 17, 2009#7742009-03-17T21:20

It didn't let me post, I had to quote...

9233.

I dunno, I rarely hit rocks in number 2, maybe I can see them too easy on my bigger TV.
I should play some more, although I'll wait to the weekend for multiplayer.
