not stay in first the entire race and not ever having a chance to catch up to them cuz they're so fast even on max speed stats

playing sonic racing transformed on elite and the AI just outclasses everything on 5 star speed with their 1 star speed character

Rubber banding is so fucking stupid, if youre good enough to lap the AI then you should be able to lap them.

some let you touch first place, games like sonic racing leave you straight in the dust with you in last place and never see like 3rd place at most. Only reason you win is cuz they sometimes hit walls.

Sometimes it also works the otherway. If you drive at a decent speed (not fast) they will slow down. Then you just speed up near the end to win.

It isn't rubberbanding if they're ahead, it's just difficult

It would technically be the opposite of rubber banding.

Unlocking all the characters in that game was one thing , but unlocking all the mods is whole new frustrating matter (I stopped trying).

Still fun though , in racing you need to keep doing tricks and boosting , and keep a glove ready for the final stretch to counter any surprises. The other modes like chase or traffic you need luck too I guess.

Same, I just played through Tooie back in December. Once I knew about her AI I beat her within five tries.

Because it isn't intended to be at your heels no matter what. It's just a flat increase in speed of the racers behind you. If you're still better, you can still overtake them. Rubberbanding is a general term, and SMK had a very simple implementation.

The funny thing is I really don't remember her being that hard. When I was a kid I had one hell of a tapping arm. Long story short that's why I had carpal tunnel surgery in both wrists, probably. Oops.

That must be it then. Because in SMK64, those dudes are on you like glue. Even as a kid I could tell they would spin out but be right on you again in seconds. It felt really different from the first game.

Also just to be clear: There's nothing inherently bad about rubberbanding. The AI aren't there to fight fairly, they're there to give you a challenge.

yeah i know how to do most maps really well except curien mansion

but in the boost race challenges where no items are involved at all but more boosts are on the track, the AI is just flatout faster than you and you have no way to catch up to them except when they decide to be dumb

the ai's pretty bad when it comes to routing and using items
it's insanely easy to gain an insurmountable lead on many tracks because the ai just doesn't have the ability to optimize it route
