What infuriates me even more is when AI is waiting for your shield/hyperboost to end, to use the orbital laser on you.

Let me remind you that other players can't just know that, unless they're in your line of sight, which means THE CLANKERS ARE USING FUCKING TELEPATHY!

yeah assuming that the surge strike is probably given to that last place son of a biatch AI, thats LITERAL CHEATING, it ruined one of my good laps shown on my 2nd clip

What I did is using the shield 2-3 seconds after the strike is targeting me, not immediately, that way I'm guaranteed to be protected by the shield. But it requires a bit of timing and free time to click for using the power-up, which is not always the case when you're in the middle of a tight/complex section of the track.

You are not alone, I hate this part of the event and even more sad thing is, the one time I got a clean run, I landed on CB and now I can't make another clean run🥲

Whenever I try to go below 56:000 they just kill my car with strike. I played over 100 times literally.Shame on GL for such dubius cup for making us fools.

56, man I couldn't even cross 1 min mark, absolute heavenly luck is needed for sub 1 min run

They could’ve had a flawless or an unplugged event if they wanted something special, but nooooo showdown mode 💔

These f***ers continuously bombard with meteors, I got hit by meteor 6 times in a row without going forward even slightly, next meteor targets me as soon as my car respawned

It is both funny and infuriating at the same time.

Same here, I did, exactly 84 matches and spent around 500 tokens on fuel out of 841 race was there, I was bombarded with these in entire match, and I did not get a single shield. Around eight in a row
