Mario Kart 8 DLC |OT2| You Got Boost Power!

Wow a heavyweight makes Hyrule Circuit so much easier somehow!

But yeah I like this combo, unlike the Bone Rattler + Buttons, this one can actually turn.
 

Papercuts

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
Also after the last session I still say the lightning rng is totally rigged, I star right before one hits way too much for it to be a coincidence.

Mash out star and bullet bill every time.

What the fuck? There's a glider ramp on Mario Circuit GBA? How did I not know that, after almost a year?

You are KIDDING ME.

Any chance I get I try to go for it. It leads to some pretty amazing views of everyone getting plastered on the last stretch while sailing over it all. :lol

Really? >.>
You can actually see it unlike the one on Sherbert

...

Wait, there's a glider section on Sherbet?

I swear Mute City appears after every Big Blue as a vote option.

Yea, it definitely is. Getting a star or a bullet bill is pretty much a warning that someone will get a lightning.

More like there are fifty lightnings a race in Frantic and most people here are incompetent boobs who use their lightnings right away without checking the minimap first.

Same thing I guess in the end
 
Can we nerf bikes again? I need my unfair advantage over Justice now that firehopping was nerfed so hard. (Still there but only useful in a select few scenarios and only for a small, very small boost)

I've noticed it even in normal. They drop in pairs all the time.

But yeah nobody ever waits to lightning. I did once and someone else got a lightning, so I am terrified to try again.

My rule of thumb is to use my lightning sometime before the next item box. I find that if someone else gets a lightning on the same item line I'll get zapped anyways because I'm too slow, though that's really rare.

EDIT: But yeah I do think the item system is rigged in some ways. In Frantic, if I get a mushroom in 1st, I anticipate a blue shell.

Finally got around to trying 200cc, my usual Bowser setup does not handle this speed well in turns. Gonna need to mess around with the setup, until then I think I found a decent setup with Daisy. Need to relearn all my drift timing at this speed though, as well as learn how to brake drift when needed.

Holy shit, if I were to have won that, that would have been amazing.

I was just spamming the item button hard hoping for the horn, but instead, got a mushroom, dodged the blue shell, and careened off the course cause I didn't expect that lol.

EDIT: 3rd time I drifted the wrong way.

Good luck, you'll need it. I tried Dry Bowser in 200cc and it did not end well for me.
So yeah, when I used Dry Bowser earlier I did just fine. Even got a couple wins. Usually placed in the top half IIRC.

Three of were using him, too, along with a regular Bowser. I would like to say we all did relatively fine but I wasn't paying too much attention.

even though I'm tempted to run femvillager, I can't leave #teamRosalina (morton is dead and buried though, though justice and DaBoss give me hope. What kart buikds you use?)

I finally get the brake drifts now, yay!

Also, kinda sad I messed up Rainbow Road 64 earlier. Someone hit me and I just wasn't able to recover before getting tossed offstage.
