Sorry Exentryk.
everyone stopped playing games to hear about games?
Peach with Gold Kart and Tires puts me at 4 speed and 2 accel.
Too goo-.... nah, I cant even say it. I fear getting hit so much. Most of the tire selection is garbage tier for Peach's weight class if I'm rocking the Gold Kart and its clones. The acceleration, even with a positive accel stat on the glider will fail to hit the higher whole number. And that fucking sucks. I use the combo though because my queen looks amazing riding in it.

Managed to get first despite screwing up on the shortcut at the end somehow...
Anyway, I need to get off now. Good games, guys.

I don't know but it was probably out of desperation D:

Oh man, I can't believe I hit you with a peel from so far away Marink. Nice comeback too.

I left because everyone flew away. :/So, who is still left playing?
I'll get you next time, Hyno
I want to use the complete gold set and it gives Babies 3 Speed and 2.5 Accel (Which is actually 2).
At least you're going for looks instead of the winning combo.
Both hate and amazement ran through my veins

Just had some guy who had 9500 points and was winning every race by miles. Skill...or something else?
Once E3 is over I'm sure the lobby would be back at full every night like the past week
I don't know, after almost 85 hours of gameplay, E3 helped me to realize I'm a little sick of Mario Kart.
The game is a gem but I think I'll stop for now before I start hating it.

Well, I'm done for the night. That was a lot of fun. Man hypnodarkrai, your setup must be killer, you were half a lap ahead most of the time.
I noticed on Toad's Turnpike that most people avoid driving on the walls, are they really lacking an advantage?

Good games!
It was the gold kart setup so I only had 3 Speed and 2 Accel, I was ahead because of no blue shells to hit me
I figured the GAF lobbies were all empty.
Yeah, that route is slower on TT. The fastest route is hugging the other side by the guardrail...which is really dull.

I usually go for 4 accel and 3 speed, or 5 accel and 2 speed. Gives you around 4,5 handling as well, which is really fun.
I don't know if it's necessarily the best build though. Most people seem to prefer speed to accel
Easy there Kak. All three reds?
Sorry, but with my current setup there's no way I'd be able to overtake you if you got ahead again. Didn't want to take chances :B
high accel is so freaking nice. to me, speed doesn't mean jack shit in a race where items slow you down. 2 accel is damn unacceptable. I think when everyone is basically going at similar speeds it's important that you're able to get to your max speed asap.
I go all in on speed. I'm at 5.25 with 2 accel, lol.
full gold on heavies is fucked up. they'll get 1 or 2 accel anyway with sky high speed.
Peach got shafted.

You have to play like you won't get hit.
I ain't Jesus, bro.
I also think it's worth considering there are multiple supplements to get around poor acceleration, as any glider segment shoots you up to speed, boost pads are pretty frequent, and in the middle of the pack smart mushroom management along with item checking on other players can make it so you boost back up right after a hit which you would do even with high acceleration(and this game hands out mushrooms like crazy). There's nothing to really help you with low speed or weight as you get bumped around. Trackion/handling becomes pretty much second nature even if it's poor.
The worst scenario speccing this way is generally getting hit by lightning while boosting through an area that will slow you down, or just getting knocked off the track.

Why did Nintendo decide to make the Worldwide races 100 cc?!
At least give separate lobbies because no one goes to Custom races.

Isn't the class based on the rankings of the players in the room? It was in MK Wii.

Finally back. Been playing online, but hooooly fuck I find it hard not to rage at leaste a little bit. Think it's more of an attitude thing than anything, but goddamn.

It's the same as holding first. You have to play like you won't get blue shell'd. With max speed, you'll get fucked by items occasionally (everyone does) but you'll dominate if you don't. With accel, you only benefit when getting pelted with items...which generally means you're probably losing anyway.

I don't remember what my stats are but I guess they should be the same as yours, since we both use cruiserweights, inward drift bikes, and slicks. I think it works out well though, very well rounded apart from the awful traction. That might be why I hate water tracks.

Tap the screen, and then tap one of the three panels on the right (map, full screen, or control toggle)

Lol no
I know that feel. When you get a coin powerup in 4th place and get slammed by 2 guys with triple red shells behind you, while the dudes in front of you get shells and bananas to cover their position is simply infuriating. I try to look introspectively at how upset I'm getting at a nintendo game and that usually makes me calm down haha.
