Chocobo Dash needs a nerf

[Aphel]

There's multiple way/builds to win a match after all.

That's what I thought as well. At first I refused to believe that Dash is the IWIN ability. Pedigree after pedigree, trust me I've gone through Steal III/Cure III/Shock III/Dash I on my Chocobos and went through so many races. There is only so much you can do when your opponent is 4-5 seconds ahead of the pack while the rest have to deal with in-cluster fighting + Briars. A few of these guys I've met don't even bother about picking up powerups.

In a short courses like Sagolii, these guys just plain ignore powerups and laugh all the way to the finishing line while you have to crack your brains remembering who has Briar, who to steal, who to reflect from, etc. Even in Costa where the initial 1/3 of the racecourse is a bottleneck, getting ahead of the cluster means you don't have to deal with all those nonsense that the jockeys throw at each other.

Yes there's so many ways to win a match. It just so happens that the one with Dash + Headstart wins it the easiest.
