I remember much vitriol against it in the first month. When did it change?

Holy crap Benny! So close.
A few months ago, can't remember the exact date.

The best heavy combos for worldwide are Pipe Frame + Slicks and Speed Kart + rollers. Both have good handling. So does cruiser + Speed Kart + slicks, another perfectly viable combo.
You mean the one near the beginning? You want to drift into it. Start a drift, shroom, release the MT, trick, and land into a left-facing drift so you have enough time to charge up an orange MT. You might need to softdrift though (if you don't know how, try holding diagonals while drifting. Congrats, you now know how to softdrift).
And just in case you have trouble while going down the neck, you just do a wide drift to the right. This works because there's a bit of grass you can just glide over if you're drifting.

F-Zero track is AMAZING
Uhhhh so the track won't ever come to an end... I've crossed the finish line and the track is still going endlessly... I guess it's a bug and I'll have to reset the game.
Wait what did I do exactly? hahaha
I always get thrown off track by other people if that's what you meant! I don't get why, Wario is supposed to be heavy but he just goes flying whenever somebody crashes into him haha. But as for firehopping I usually don't use it

Did people make it past the loading lobby in frantic?

I seemingly got stuck in the track select screen after picking excitebike arena and left after a minute or so.

It wasn't allowed in GAF lobbies when the game released. But past few months, only a few dedicated people have been in these lobbies, and most of those people don't really care if people fire hop. So it was allowed.
Are there are a lot of people that have issues with allowing fire hopping?

Haha what's your NNID?
Yeah the one at the beginning. I always overshoot, and the one time I nearly had it, I got steamrolled by other racers lol.

Yeah, the angle's misleading. You gotta aim yourself way more to the right then you'd think.

Holy crap I just unlocked a Wiggler Bike.
It's a bike. That's a Wiggler.
Let's see if I can wiggle my way to first place.

It's actually an All Terrain
Those are the best combos? Ive been having a ton of luck in the past with Mach Bike + Morton + Triforce Tires.

I would imagine so yes. Unless the lobby is already full?

I just left, there was people here earlier but it still seems there's problems with the game connection-wise.
Does it have the electric thwomps? CUZ IF NOT... jk i'm buying this regardless

They are the best kart combos, yes.
As for bikes, Heavy + Master Cycle + Slicks/Slims + Accel Glider will probably wind up being the best one. This does mean that Heavy + Master Cycle + Triforce Wheels + Hyrule Glider is optimized. It's actually pretty amusing that it works out that way.
Your combo's pretty good though.

Just joined Normal DLC, spectating now.
lol, it it truly was a glitch, don't you think Nintendo would have patched it out of the game in the last two updates?

Why am I the only one with a beard?!
What about Heavy/Cruiser + Sport Bike + Slicks? I've been using that or a variation (white Slims previously) since Mario Kart 8 released and it's been pretty damn competitive even when weirdos like Roo and Papercuts actually mastered exotic things like Gold Standard karts for the sake of max speed.
