what is a ghoster/spacebarrer

soz boys im a bit old not up to date with the youngin' lingo

 

• Ghoster - someone who primarily plays tracks, might do speedruns or trick ghosts
• Spacebarrer - same as above, but cheats

 

well, im bad at both

 

if ur bad im pathetic

 

im ok at drawing, terrible at ghosting

 

so ur a surfer if so do u live in US cause i know a great place or two to catch huge waves - right beside the green stuff

 

ya, there actualy not great right next to the storm. No consistancy. there gonna be great where i am tho!

 

but there consisted inconsistency

 

a choppy mess tho
lol

 

where do u surf

 

where the waves are good

 

no like what state

 

exactly

 

if a ghoster is someone who primarily plays tracks, doesn't that make everyone a ghoster

 

You tell me.

 

The community is split into two groups. There ARE some people who are known for both creating and ghosting (mr..a and mudkip), but normally you're gonna have creators who aren't so good at ghosting (deadrising2 and max007x) and ghosters aren't so good at creating (like me).
To make it clear, creators generally have high numbers of subs and likes, and their track detail and layout is brilliant, whereas ghosters have high numbers of points, leaderboard positions and perhaps official ghosts if they're real ace. That's putting it in very ROUGH terms, because there are quite a few sub-divisions between the two parties that people will argue over who's better (creators have detailers, grid-users, auto-makers)(ghosters have point collectors, trick ghosters, speedrunners), and of course there will be people who are in both categories, as I mentioned earlier.
What I meant by someone who 'primarily plays tracks' is someone who is best known for their times and/or trick ghosts rather than tracks, of which they might have none in some cases.
A spacebarrer is the exact same as a ghoster, i.e. they have the same goals (fast ghosts, trick ghosts) but to anyone who doesn't spacebar, it's regarded as cheating. Spacebar pauses the game, pressing it again unpauses it. Repeatedly pressing spacebar slows down the game, giving people more time to figure out their next move than normal.

 

yo tysm for the explanation, I understand it now
feel bad for asking all these questions lol but another quick one - what is trick ghosting

 

trick ghosting's when you do sick wheelies and flips and other cool stuff, rather than trying to complete a track bog standard normal
Here's the official ghost thread by mr..a where you view some

 

yeah thats what i initially thought but didnt want to assume. cheers bruv

 

i mean spacebarring isnt cheating might as well call every good ghoster a cheater then
