Kirby Rally- Turn Four

1st      2nd       3rd       4th       5th     6th      7th      8th

Action Phase

"Good, now that I'm in first place the other are the ones that have to take risks, I'll concetrate on dodging the apples"

Drive defensively and don't try to get items

Meta Knight Drives Defensively, holding position and deliberately avoiding the Item Boxes and the risk of hitting the Fake!

Draft behind Meta Knight!

Because...meta.  :P


Shy Guy sticks closely behind Meta Knight, looking for an opportunity to pass him! [3]+3 vs [4]+4+1 The cagey Meta Knight gives him no openings, however, defending his position!

Aggressive Driving and head for another item box

Conker rips up behind Shy Guy, [1] but as he attempts a move on the outside he skids off the road! He quickly regains the pavement, but not before losing ONE Momentum and taking a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Pikachu was frustrated. He had finally made it past the turtle, only to be passed by the fox-like thing. He probably would need at least a third place finish to qualify for the last race, so time for him to get it.drive aggressively, aim for an item box

(thanks for explaining that rule-my comprehension can be awful at times)

Pikachu closely follows Conker, and as the fox squirrel blunders into the dirt [6] Pikachu toes the pavement, taking an excellent path through the segment! He gains THREE Momentum and takes a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

"Bzzzzt. More loot detected"

Ah yes, the 'friendly' forest. Inviting, peaceful. Olimar knew better. Forests harbored life, and life meant hostility. He saw those trees, how they lowered their boughs upon the arrival of the racers, filled to the stem with heavy apples. There was ill intent to be had.

Olimar decided to drive defensively through the haunted forest.

Olimar is leery of the apples and Fake Item beneath the leaves of the Dreamland Apple Orchard, and Drives Defensively, hoping to minimize his risk!

Action: Aggressive Driving!

Oomph digs deep as he falls through the rankings, [5] following up his poor fortune with a devilish display of driving acumen! His sleek maneuvers net him TWO Momentum, while he suffers a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Leading into the tree filled area, the bounty hunter saw the item boxes ahead and aimed for the weapons in a box, deciding that those would be safer than trying to speed up unprotected. Of course with Oomph ahead of him, the captain couldn't help himself as he hit the pedal and aimed for the koopa's rear bumper.

RAM!

Captain Falcon carefully lines up a Ram, but is distraught to see Oomph speed away! With any luck, another target will present itself!

Quote from: Scelly9
...reconnecting...

Link Drives Defensively, not wanting to fall further behind!



1st      2nd       3rd       4th       5th     6th      7th      8th
Movement Phase

Meta Knight leads the way beneath the boughs of the Apple Orchard, [6]+2+1 easily dodging the continually-falling fruits!

Shy Guy [1]+2 however, is too busy tailgating to pay attention to the plummeting apples, and a large one falls right on his head! He is temporarily stunned, Spinning Out and losing ONE Momentum, falling further behind Meta Knight!

Conker laughs at Shy Guy's misfortune [1]+2-1 before another apple splatters on his windshield, temporarily obstructing his view! He Spins Out, losing ONE Momentum as he once again rumbles off-road!

Pikachu [6]+2-1 has no problem avoiding the round red orbs, and he speeds forward, looking to climb the Leaderboard! [3]+5vs[3]+0 Conker is in no position to challenge Pikachu, desperately trying to regain the road as the Pokemon claims Third Place, losing ONE Momentum! Pikachu quickly presses his advantage, moving to pass Shy Guy as the masked racer recovers from his fruit-related mishap, [1]+4vs[6]+2 but Shy Guy reacts quickly, cutting off Pikachu's line and forcing the bright yellow rodent to back off!

Olimar keeps a wary eye out for pestilent produce, [6]+2+1 effortlessly weaving between the bouncing apples! Although Driving Defensively, he finds he has more than twice the Momentum of Conker, and has the chance to pass! [4]+2vs[4]+0 He squeaks by before the squirrel has a chance to get back on the road, losing ONE Momentum as he takes Fourth Place!

Oomph, high on his recent success, [1]+2-1 fails to pay proper heed to the bad apples, and his wheel catches on one of the fallen fruits, squishing it to sauce! He Spins Out, losing ONE Momentum before regaining control of his Kart! He races toward where Conker is desperately trying to regain the track, [4]+2vs[3]+0 vrooming into Fifth Place and losing ONE Momentum as he out-sprints the squirrel!

Captain Falcon [6]+2 keeps the feast or famine nature of the hazard going, handily dodging falling apples and lining up a Ram on Conker! [4]+1vs[5]+0 Amazingly, the agile squirrel swerves out of the way much like a matador, leaving Captain Falcon to veer off into the dirt! He loses ONE Momentum as he returns to the road, [1]+0vs[6]+0 well behind the elusive Conker!

Link is Driving Defensively, and does not attempt to Pull Ahead!

Cleanup Phase

Meta Knight deliberately avoids the Item boxes, knowing a Fake lurks amongst them!

Shy Guy takes the risk, [4] picking up an Item! [9]+2 He begins dragging a GREEN SHELL behind his Kart!

Pikachu also hopes for an Item, [2]-1 but nails the Fake instead! He flips, losing TWO Momentum!

Olimar is pleased to have the risk removed by the rodent, [5]+1 easily taking an Item Box [10]+6+2 picking up a valuable MUSHROOM!

Oomph skids through the line of Item Boxes, [1]-1 failing to hit even a single one!

Conker comes up on the Items, [1]-1 but is too busy getting back up to speed to snag one! His Momentum is set to ONE!

Captain Falcon [4] clips one of the Item Boxes, [9]+12 and begins dragging a deadly RED SHELL behind his Kart! His Momentum is set to ONE!

Sorry for the... crap, has it been a week already? Sorry for the 8 day delay, it's the result of an unfortunate convergence of several unrelated things. I think I'm back, and I'm certainly gonna try for daily updates once again (so keep your actions timely,) but it might be a bit spotty for the next week here.

Oh well looky here. A red shell. Unfortunately Falcon has very little targets ahead of him that would be worth the shot, So he deiced to hang on to the shell until something more interesting got in the way

"I hope you're not thinking of smoking that shroom"

Olimar rolled his eyes. Another set of item boxes bobbed on the horizon. He fed the mushroom into his kart's input valve, hoping the extra fuel would allow a pass. He then swung into a power slide.


((I'd like to use a mushroom, attempt a free pass, then do a power slide and attempt another free pass. That works, right?))

Oh well looky here. A red shell. Unfortunately Falcon has very little targets ahead of him that would be worth the shot, but with more item boxes ahead of him he wouldn't want to waste a chance for even more damage.

Drive aggressively, fire red shell

I will note that dragged items do not count towards your inventory, as in the game- you do have to use the dragged item before you can use the new item, but you can have one item in Inventory and one item dragged behind your Kart.

"Aaaaaahhhhhhhh...

"Oh what is this?"


Shy Guy was glad.

That shell, the blue one? It was still with him.

But it was green.

So he fired it at Meta Knight.

Decided to Powerslide.

Powerslide at an item box.

And probably to pass the fight.

Kirby Rally- Turn Five

1st      2nd       3rd       4th       5th     6th      7th      8th

Action Phase

"Now that he has a green shell I should try to put distance between him and me, because even driving defensively I can't guarantee I'll dodge it."

Drive agressively and aim for an item box

Meta Knight leads the charge into the shallow ford at the western edge of Zephyr Lake, aggressively skirting the deeper eastern edge of the path! [6] He expertly skips and splashes over the deeper dips in the uneven lake bottom, staying above water and maintaining his breakneck pace as he gains THREE Momentum and takes a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

So he fired it at Meta Knight.

Decided to Powerslide.

Powerslide at an item box.

And probably to pass the fight.


Shy Guy isn't about to let Meta Knight get away that easily, however, and fires his Green Shell at the escaping warrior! [4]-1+1vs[1]-1 The Green Shell slams into the side of Meta Knight's Halberd, sending it flipping! He loses TWO Momentum as he lands atop a partially submerged boulder, the jagged rock scraping the underside of his chassis! [3] Various metal bits of Kart that are probably important begin dragging behind the Halberd, Slowing the Kart as Meta Knight struggles back on track!

With Meta Knight struggling, Shy Guy swings into a Powerslide, [5]+1 surging through the shallow surf with ONE Momentum and a +1 bonus to Pass Checks!

powerslide through the turn, shoot for an item box.

Seeing Shy Guy's excellent example, Pikachu also goes into a Powerslide, [2]+1 but sadly cannot quite get a spark! His cheeks crackle with angry energy!

"I hope you're not thinking of smoking that shroom"

Olimar rolled his eyes. Another set of item boxes bobbed on the horizon. He fed the mushroom into his kart's input valve, hoping the extra fuel would allow a pass. He then swung into a power slide.


((I'd like to use a mushroom, attempt a free pass, then do a power slide and attempt another free pass. That works, right?))

Olimar uses his Mushroom, immediately gaining TWO Momentum as he blasts into the breakwater and moves to squeeze past the sliding Pikachu! [3]+3vs[6]+2 The alert Pokemon abandons his futile slide to cut off Olimar's pass attempt, however. Reacting quickly, Olimar goes into a Powerslide of his own, [6]+1 his engines crackling with another burst of speed that sends him back at Pikachu with TWO Momentum and a +1 bonus to Pass Checks! [4]+5+1vs[4]+2 Pikachu simply does not have the speed to get back outside to block Olimar, and the spaceman blitzes by, taking THIRD PLACE and losing ONE Momentum!

Power Slide into the item boxes!

Oomph goes into a Powerslide as he enters the water, [5]+1 surging ahead with ONE Momentum and a +1 bonus on Pass Checks! He does not quite have the Momentum to try and pass Pikachu, however!

(.... Well only one thing left to do the exact same thing I tried to do earlier.)
Drive aggressively and try to snag an item box.

Conker hopes to duplicate the earlier success Meta Knight had on the inside of the curve (ideally without the Green Shell Hiccup that followed!) [1] Unfortunately, he almost immediately blunders into one of the deeper pools peppering that side of the track, losing ONE Momentum as he struggles back to shallow water!

Oh well looky here. A red shell. Unfortunately Falcon has very little targets ahead of him that would be worth the shot, So he deiced to hang on to the shell until something more interesting got in the way

Drive aggressively

Seeing that Conker is already out of Momentum, Captain Falcon elects to hold his Shell until he gets a better target! [6] He blazes into the inner curve, perfectly following the trail that Meta Knight blazed as he recklessly pushes forward, gaining THREE Momentum and suffering a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Aggressive driving, try and get an item box.

Back in RED, Link is desperately trying to make up lost ground! [5] He clips forward with TWO Momentum and a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks, heedless of the threatening apples ahead!



1st      2nd       3rd       4th       5th     6th      7th      8th
Movement Phase

Meta Knight screeches out of the lake, his broken Kart sending sparks flying as he takes off down the asphalt! He attempts to Pull Ahead, [2]-6+5 but remains too shaken from his aquatic encounter!

Shy Guy follows Meta Knight onto dry land, lacking the Momentum to Pass!

Olimar breaks out of the water immediately after Shy Guy, looking to pass the masked racer! [4]+4+1vs[2]+3+1 His aggressive maneuvers easily take him into Second Place as he loses ONE Momentum!

Pikachu lacks the Momentum to pass Shy Guy!

Oomph exits the water right on Pikachu's bumper!

Conker has no Momentum, struggling his way out of the water!

Captain Falcon looks to begin climbing back up the Leaderboard, [2]+4vs[2]+0 effortlessly passing Conker and taking Sixth Place! He loses ONE Momentum as he looks to pass Oomph, [5]+3vs[6]+2+1 but the canny Koopa remains just out of reach!

Link swerves wildly to dodge the falling apples in RED, [5]+2-1 veering between the plummeting produce as he looks to catch up with the others! [5]-6+5 HE SUCCEEDS, quickly traversing the BLUE shallows and coming up fast behind Conker, losing FOUR Momentum!

Cleanup Phase

Meta Knight takes aim at the Item Boxes at the end of BLUE, [3]+1-1 but just misses them! The Damage he suffered Slows the Halberd down to FOUR Momentum!

Olimar is next in line, [6]+1 absolutely crushing his Item Box [1]+2+2 and picking up a Banana, dragging it behind the Rocketeer!

Shy Guy lines up on his Item Box, [6]+1 taking it with ease [9]+4 and picking up another Green Shell!

Pikachu hopes for an Item to improve his fortune, [6]+1 smashing through the leftmost Item Box [3]+6 and deploying a Triple Banana behind his Kart!

Oomph [6]+1 wonders why Meta Knight had so much trouble up ahead- these Items are really easy to hit! [9]+8 The Koopa picks up a Mushroom!

Captain Falcon [5]+1-1 has no difficulty grabbing his new Item, [4]+10 and adds a Bob-omb to his inventory, ready to be deployed once his Red Shell is fired! (No, you can't use them both in the same turn)

Conker [3]+1-1 just misses an Item in his haste to get back up to speed, accelerating toward the next segment and setting his Momentum to ONE!

Link blazes toward the Items in RED on his way through, [3]-1 but is going way too fast to care about a little thing like Items! As his frantic dash concludes, he has another shot at an Item Box [3]+1-1 but wiffs by the narrowest of margins!

As always, it amuses me to look at how people are doing at the new lap start compared to the beginning of the race. Notably, Oomph and Conker have slid a few places while Olimar has jumped right up into contention with the leaders- half of that was just this turn, but hey, who's counting?

...I am. I am the one who is counting  O.O
