I agree with the geneal sentiment. I know how to snake jsut fine but I do not do it unless I am trying a time trial or something.
IMO advance technique makes a game deep. You need to learn a track, master the best lines on every corner, and use drifting. I love drifting in fact because it really rewards skilled players. Best use of items, learning to drop back and dodge items trown by others. Holding shells behind you for protection. Taking shortcuts. Planned collisions for turns. etc etc etc.
All of those are racing techniques that anyone can master and you may occasionally do by accident as you try to learn the game, thereby teaching you the best techniques.
One way to deal with snaking is to increase recovery time. They made it quicker in double dash so that jerk out front could easily stay out front even with 3 people pounding him.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
*naznatips is exempt
