Please clarify, what is corner bombing

[Potwizz「ポトーリズ」]

So I was playing on a server and it seems there was some different kind of definitions of corner bombing, so I just want to be 100% sure, what is corner bombing exactly?

Thank you.

going full power in to a turn that you can't make at that speed

So it doesn't matter if you hit someone or not? Because accidents happen and sometimes you just break to late, not intentionally, is that still 'bad'?

late breaking is still corner bombing

I don't consider accidental as corner bombing, everyone does that now and then at least while learning. When someone goes full speed into a turn without even trying to turn in order to take you out or goes into a turn way too fast and uses you as a bumper in order to make the turn while simultaneously taking you out, that's what I consider corner bombing.

I totally agree with this, sadly a lot of mods see it the other way.

Its near impossible to brake to late currently, the brakes are so good

As true as it might be, I feel like a game called WRECKfest racers sometimes want to take a risk trying to overtake that will end in disaster. Which (to me at least) is the fun part.

But why do people hate cornerbombing in the first? Geniuly curious.

This is really funny.

So not braking into a corner is corner bombing.

And braking into a corner but not quite enough is corner bombing.

So basically if I hit someone when cornering I've corner bombed them?

It's a weird logic, but yes.

Intentionally slamming into someone in a corner to take them out = corner bombing. Bump and grind during hard racing = not corner bombing. Lots of grey area in between and can be hard to tell if intentional. I try to give the benefit of the doubt unless repeatedly done by the same person. Just my opinion...

Some mods disagree with this, it is literally even if it unintionally. Bump and grind was also bombing.

not really, if you brake but not enough. Then the impact speed isnt gonna be nearly as high as someone who comes flatout straight into the corner (or cuts across the infield),makes no effort to take the turn and hits you in the side.
Thats a corner bomb.

People dont like it because its a easy move imo, anyone can do it and its near impossible to defend against. Especially where people cut the track to do it.

Id much rather see follow ins, where you catch up with someone,draft behind them, then when it comes to the braking zone keep pushing and run them into the wall head first. Takes a bit of skill then to keep up with the guy in front.

I feel that they changed their definition several times... I just wanted it clarified. Like once he just said to me "Lol what do you think". But yea, I started this thread just to be completely sure. Is that wrong?
