[SweetDonuts]

Couldn't post because this place is wacky today, but yeah, GGs. GGs to everyone but Benny. He's gonna feel the wrath!

Pshhh I aint scared of you

Spoiler

what did i do tho

 

[Seik]

Yeah, I've yet to place better then 3rd myself.

Same, I played more than 50 races with you guys.

One day, I'll be first...hnnnnnng!

 

[Freezie KO]

What tactic do people have for the crazy-8? I can't be the only one that just spams the Z button the second I get it.

Same. It's too much effort to look at each individual weapon circling you while avoiding bumping into other racers. I'd rather spam the button and get my eyes back on the road. I basically treat it like a Star with some bonuses.

I always make sure that I use the star before I throw a bomb. I hate it when I don't because the green shell will usually trigger it, I'll spin out, then someone will steal my star.

 

[DaBoss]

I got lucky there. It gave me non-coin items when a red shell was coming my way.

 

[Kouichi]

Just had one of those item magnet races.

i cri evertiem

 

[LProtag]

Is it worth picking up a Pro controller for this?

 

[Riposte]

I don't like the gamepad features for this game. I kind of wish they just stuck with the horn and put the important shit on the main screen. I ruined a few races because my dumb brain suddenly thought up the idea to check what was going on the map and fucked myself over.

 

[DaBoss]

Please stop giving me the coin item game.

There's always that one who picks dry dry desert and then it gets picked

People jokingly picking Toads Turnpike are the worst, because we still have to play Toads Turnpike.

Good. I hope you fall in that quicksand thing!

 

[DaBoss]

Everyone just started leaving.

 

[SweetDonuts]

That aint nice! (I got 1st), though you'll be pleased to know I'm getting a lot of communication errors now.

 

[octopiggy]

Just hit exactly 5000 VR. Still don't have 10,000 coins despite having put in 76 hours. I'm done for tonight but will dip into RaceGAF again next time - see if I fair any better.

 

[Exentryk]

Tried racing with the gold kart last night and now I know that I suck at outside drifting. So much harder to take the corners sharp

 

[DaBoss]

You can't be having a tougher night with her than I have had so far.

Woo, first time in the GAF server. Watching Wario Stadium and getting ready to race!

She's waiting

 

[checkeredknight]

Good luck...

Thanks! I'll take second. Sorry for the last minute overtake, Mario!

 

[DaBoss]

I really have to question the developer's idea of balance. Do they not play the game the same way as us?

 

[ffdgh]

She's waiting

That's ok. Enough people online use her too much as is.

 

[Roo]

What do you mean?

BumperKarts?

Doubtful.

Da Boss, your backwards green shell stings.

HeAvy weight's benifits outweigh their flaws while the reverse is true for light weights.

Time for Rosalina to shine your way.

 

[SUPERJEM94]

New to the thread, did a few races earlier today. Gonna join right now, hope to get a good challenge from you guys!

 

[Saint Gregory]

He got me with that once after he got blue shelled, never again.

 

[CarlieCaplin]

Who bumped me into the egg???

Best of luck...you're going to need it lol.

 

[Ghazi]

THAT FUCKING COMEBACK, THOUGH!

 

[Saint Gregory]

Hmm, I may have found that fabled lightning box in Toad harbor.

 

[DaBoss]

What do you mean?

There are things that are just so apparent.

Heavy characters outclass other classes with the same combination. Maybe they saw that and made 3 Heavy classes because of that? I don't know. EDIT: And we've got Double Dash (punch) levels bumping lol. Even bikes can bump off karts. It seems more character dependent now.

Acceleration stat again is nearly pointless. Not only does it not matter unless it is within certain ranges, but the difference is miniscule.

But there are things like super horn in the first item box. I'm pretty sure you can't get triple shells in the first item box. No indicator for a piranha plant which is arguably more deadly than a star lol.

That's not all of it, but I may list everything one day. I was pretty happy with Mario Kart 7, but I never played it a lot (I probably have more hours in MK8 than MK7 lol), so I wouldn't be able to say its mechanic flaws well.

EDIT2: And then the netcode lol. Some how worse than MKWii's and MK7's.

 

[neoemonk]

1. Are you using a heavy? Cuz you should
2. Do you have slick wheels? Well, why not!?

1. No

and

2. No, because I don't think I've unlocked them.

I never liked the heavy guys in the older games but I guess I should give them a try. I always liked Toad and Koopa Troopa.

 

[ffdgh]

Random stolen star lol.

 

[kiryogi]

Lol, I've heard the stories about GAF but wow. Time to step it up, and also change to slick wheels XD

 

[checkeredknight]

Good racing with you guys. Certainly was a challenge - never managed as high as second again past that first race.

 

[Burning Justice]

Have to use middleweights sometimes, just to shut up the people who think I'm only winning because I use heavies.

But fuck that. Switching back to Bowser now.

 

[Number_6]

madness in the middle of that third lap in Yoshi's

 

[SUPERJEM94]

MAJOR COMEBACK. 12th to 1st place in the last lap. YES.

 

[SmithnCo]

Whose idea was it to make that stupid egg pause and take forever to get past the bridge

I'm enjoying MK8, and I haven't run into any netcode issues. That said, MK7 felt like the more balanced game to me. I love MK7, and put tons of hours into it.

The heavy characters are still too good though. I feel like the acceleration stat should have a significant effect on the mini-turbos. So if you're heavy, your drifting isn't as strong. And if you're light, you want to stay away from straightaways and try to squeeze in drifts wherever you can. This would also make sense because smaller characters would take up less space on wider tracks, so they might be able to fake snake a little better.

LOL I saw that when I went pass with the Golden Mushroom
