Any Way the Wind Blows is a terrible event

[TeraRamis]

And I don't say that because I'm 'bad at it' - there's no way to be bad or good at AWtWB.

I say it because it's most thoroughly disengaging, disappointing, and boring GATE event. You can literally do NOTHING and perform just as well as if you mashed the sprint button down and pirouetted your way around the stage. It's utterly non-user-dependent content, and it's over in <60 seconds.

This is also coming from someone who really enjoys The Slice is Right, and wishes we saw more of it (or more GATE content in general, rather than the almost endless repetition of a cycle of Air Force One [horrid] and Leap of Faith [tolerable]). Unlike AWtWB, Slice is largely (though not entirely) skill-based, lasts a decent amount of time, and is actually pretty fun to watch even if you didn't get there in time. Critically, it's thoroughly interactive, asking for user interaction and attention during all the phases. AWtWB isn't. Ever. And that's why it's dumb.

Rather enjoy any way the winds blows. You set up shop and pray! It’s nice and different.

It's a game of chance. You pick a spot and hope for the best. It's nothing more than that

When they added The Slice is Right, they should have removed Any Way the Wind Blows, and kept Skin Change We Can Believe In.

I feel that they shouldn't have removed anything and just kept adding games to the roster.

Yeah, I only really go to the saucer for challenge log and sometimes to goof around, and 8/10 times it's Leap of Faith or Air Force One. If I didn't know better, I'd think those 2 are the only gates left.

Before I started taking choco racing seriously, every time I ported to the saucer it was either of those two. GS really needs more Gates.

There is no safe spot, but these are the areas that are statistically hit the least (have the least moves that hit these spaces).
Since using these I've begun actually winning this event.
Good luck.

This. I personally enjoyed the mini-game with mimicing emotes, as easy as it was, but they decided to remove it due to the fact that races couldn't be squeeshed on the arena anymore.
