*claps* Thanks Hyperlist, that sums up how I feel for the most part. A certain someone needs to stop associating snakers and snaking to cheating, and maybe they should stop "throwing their rattle out of their pram" so to speak.Hyperlisk_ said:That's a common misconception. Haven't you ever noticed how on Wikipedia they have to CITE REFERENCES? Obviously you (Along with MANY other people) just believe what you are told. Not to mention that they have moderators to make sure that only valid content is posted on Wikipedia's pages.jalaneme said:wikipedia can be edited by any individual therefore your sources are void.
Here is a link to the archived article by NOA_Andy from Nintendo.com that was cited on Wikipedia.

I'm not so tired of hearing people complain about the concept of snaking as I am tired of people saying it is cheating. It is a technique, as other people have stated. Simple thing about it is that it is not that hard! How hard is it to hit left-right-left-right real fast? The thing that really pisses me off is that I would not for the most part take complete advantage of the technique, but I would easily pull off a couple of boosts in a turn or coming out of a turn. Now its just going to be as easy as sliding through the turn and doing absolutely nothing to earn that boost (and in turn most likely not allowing me to get the most boost potential I could with the power slide boost method in N64, GC and DS versions.)
But seriously, to me it is like people complaining about the AWP in Counter-Strike or even the Farsight XR-20 in Perfect Dark.
