In the "fixes or features" thread a while back, this sort of thing was much requested. Well, there you go. Firehopping, an exploit where you hop left and right to go faster during a boost, is confirmed by many to be nerfed hard, though how hard is up for debate until we get some video analysis or something. But, it's generally agreed to be nerfed so hard it's pretty much useless in most scenarios.
The OT is kind of crowded and I know a lot of people wanted this so I thought it would be best to make a thread so everyone's on the same page. And yes, this has been tested by numerous people, me included. If need be I can post some other people who tested it, though just how hard it's nerfed beyond "most of the time it's useless" isn't quite known yet.
As for how centralizing firehopping was... Basically, if I firehopped near the end and you didn't, even if we both had boost items and you were a decent ways ahead, I'm probably gonna pass you. Now whenever I try that shit out of instinct I gain no distance and feel bad. Just gonna have to get used to it.
EDIT: 200cc only by the way.
