I'm just happy getting places higher than Azure at this point. That means I'm not THAT bad.

[Azuran]

Damn you whoever bumped right into me on that final lap. Learn how to drive!

Bullet Bill saving me from getting lapped by the #1.

 

[ChrisD]

First, last, sixth, fourth, what's the difference? It all elicits the same response for the youngest of the parks.

 

[Boney]

[Metaternal]

That brave soul as dry bowser

He's too cool man, I can't switch

 

[Boney]

Mario kart for me

Be second or third for one and a half lap

Then get murdered...

 

[Saint Gregory]

Hmm, not the best start -_-

 

[ChrisD]

Decided to take that grassy shortcut at the end of Wild Woods without a Shroom. Lightning hits me as I approach the grass. Must be for all the times I've been Star'd when Lightning strikes.

 

[Roo]

I was literally inches away from the platform when that blue shell hit me. I lost some precious seconds getting my ass on track again.

 

[neto]

That ending was so close

 

[Roo]

I was about to use MY lightning ;_;

 

[MrPanic]

That race was stolen from me. :/

 

[Metaternal]

Ew DNF

 

[Omnicent]

Wham slam right into that wall trying to avoid that blue shell >.<

Jesus Christ how horrifying

XD

 

[Azure J]

Jesus Christ how horrifying

 

[Saint Gregory]

I was about to use MY lightning ;_;

There can be more than one!!!! :O

I just spent who knows how long testing acceleration tiers in 200cc because some random guy on the internet said they were fixed for 200cc (and only 200cc).

Every test I did concluded that he was right.

I should really trust random guys on the internet more.

Also you guys should inform me of things like this D:

Fuck, seriously?

Wow, I'd better look into other builds then. That changes a lot.

 

[Azuran]

I hate you so much Azure.

Stupid bomb

 

[Metaternal]

Okay, Triple Shrooms for 2 laps straight is some nonsense

 

[Azure J]

yooooooooooooooooooo

That last second crazy 8 almost took my life if I didn't draw star when I did.

 

[Boney]

Who threw that boomerang at the end!!!!!

Man I'm starting to really feel 200cc, I get murdered but I'm doing the drifts so good

 

[Roo]

There can be more than one!!!! :O

/highlander

Yup.
2 blue shells and 3 bullet bills.
Isn't this game the best? /s

Also, screwing over Chris in that jump was awesome lol

 

[MrPanic]

Waiting for the patch that deletes the piranha plant....

 

[Saint Gregory]

Squid in 2nd? RNGesus pls -_-

 

[Metaternal]

Ew DNF

.

 

[Boney]

Got hit by the fire spike ball combo in the first and third lap damn
Also didn't even catch you when the blue hit roo, stop haxing

 

[Azure J]

I hate you so much Azure.

Stupid bomb

That's what you get for shit talking someone down on his luck. I don't say shit to anyone and then I have to put up with being both Mario Kart 8's bitch and the community's chew toy... FOH. :lol

Also, you guys SURE this isn't Frantic?

 

[ChrisD]

Also, screwing over Chris in that jump was awesome lol

;-;

with those two poor showings in a row, it's time I take my leave. Got to get ready for work tomorrow.

Good games! Not so sure on Normal mode yet. It has it's pros and cons.

 

[Roo]

Got hit by the fire spike ball combo in the first and third lap damn

Tip;
Don't do tricks in that section. You'll have more control over what happens there.

 

[ChrisD]

Oh hey, but really quick, what's a good Bike build? I'd like to give them a fair shake since I've... actually, I've never used Bikes in MK8. Maybe experimenting with them in 200cc isn't the best idea.

 

[PreyingShark]

Fuck, seriously?

Wow, I'd better look into other builds then. That changes a lot.

They did do something smart though. The difference between 1.5 and 1.75 isn't that big, but still appreciable. But the difference between 1.75 and 2.0 is pretty big. So 5.75 speed with workable accel for Normal items is still a pipe dream.

There doesn't seem to be a linear formula or anything from my observations. I think that what they did was just take the accel tier system and make a new tier for each value. Which is why the difference between 4.0 and 4.25 is small enough for me to do be like "lolwut" but most of the differences below that are like "Yep, every point counts."

And guys, please keep in mind that heavyweights are still capped at 3.0 handling for outerdrift and 3.25 for innerdrift and cruisers are only 0.5 better. And handling really matters now. And the tiers benefited the fastest characters more than anybody else come on guys.

 

[Saint Gregory]

I got knocked off the track like four times. I hope than red shell I threw back hit everyone!!!

 

[Azure J]

So based on your findings PreyingShark, I'm probably using the fastest, highest acceleration combination possible for this character.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Welp, Roo just drove better. What can I say

 

[Azure J]

Wow, that was almost heartbreaking.

 

[Boney]

Getting hit by bulletshits is really starting to annoy me

 

[PreyingShark]

So based on your findings PreyingShark, I'm probably using the fastest, highest acceleration combination possible for this character.

For inner drift and Rosalina, probably. The one thing I can conclude is that if you're choosing between 4.25 accel w/ accel glider and 4.0 with the super glider you should go probably go with the super glider. But if it's 3.75 and 4.0, for example, use the accel glider.

This new system was seriously pulled out of somebody's ass lol

 

[Enforced]

I'll be on frantic 150cc in about 20 minutes

 

[Roo]

Welp, Roo just drove better. What can I say

Fun fact: that's the second time I play that track using this mode

 

[Papercuts]

That's what you get for shit talking someone down on his luck. I don't say shit to anyone and then I have to put up with being both Mario Kart 8's bitch and the community's chew toy... FOH. :lol

Also, you guys SURE this isn't Frantic?

I think they tweaked the normal items a little. I wasn't getting nearly as many coins and even got red shells in first semi often, and it seemed to have more bullet bills and shit.

 

[Azure J]

And that actually was heartbreaking.
