Mario Kart 8 |OT2| I'm using tilt controls!

that was me and the other guy as we both had triple peels.
Also you guys bodied me at the second item box area. red shell, I mushroom, then red shell, pirahana, etc =\
You tried to throw a green shell at me man. I MAKE A MENTAL LIST
I see people are not a fan of me driving straight. I will stop then.
Also, a useful tip. Hitting someone who has stopped with a red shell that you will definitely pass without using the red shell is a waste you know.
So true

A lot of people just spam their items right after the item boxes. That's how I got hit at least 6 times without moving and rage quit earlier

I swear Omni hit a dude with a sick reflected green and kept going
and then he slipped on a banana peel at the end

Just about everyone plays in the regular race tournament. If you're not finding many people there, it's probably because the room everyone's in is full.
That's worse than that time I knocked another person using luigi off rainbow road 64 near the end. That was accidental. I was using rosalina in that race. .

TT's are all about speed, so go for the highest speed setup that you can handle. But the staff ghosts are quite weak, so lower speed setups can win easily too.
I did all mine with my normal race set up, which is Rosalina, Comet, Slicks, and Acc Glider.

It feels like I already forgot everything I learned yesterday about inside drift :{

Laugh at my misery. Nearly the whole 30 sec is about that last stretch.
I did my patented rage losing after I got squished. I guarantee you if the game had good netcode I wouldn't have landed on that red shell someone was dragging.
And there was already a blue shell used before on someone else, so this is just getting Mario Kart Wii in here.

Generally Bowser/Gold Standard/Slick/Gold Glider. Slim instead of Slick on certain courses where I need a bit more traction or underwater speed.
There are two courses where I use a totally different setup, though--Dolphin Shoals, in which underwater speed is much more important than land speed, and Sherbet Land, where good traction is absolutely essential.
Inside drift, basically I always thought of as "hug the corner", where external drift is to treat a corner like a slingshot.
Hope that helps.
I really like playing racing games with inside drift, I'm playing Sonic All Stars randomly here and there and I hate the drifting in that game

the only hype thing about toad's turdpike is flying over the highway like a G
besides fuck that track

Gotta love the acceleration/handling boost inside drift gives. Makes it hard to go back to faster karts lol.

grizzo you star using SOB I thought we had a truce when I spared you on music park ;_;
It's pretty much this + the fact that my favorite current setup (Sports Bike/Slicks/MKTV Parafoil) looks (kinda) like an orange version of Kaneda's Bike™ why I just can't do karts anymore. :lol

I kept wondering what Merrick was saving those triple greens for. Thank god I had a star.
it's like you said man, it's every man for himself in these streets
...although I gotta say you got me real good once again on Yoshi's Valley
My only problem? Heavy midweights and above are the only ones who don't have wasted acceleration from them =/
Oh and the babies too.

Item selection is trolling harder than usual tonight LOL

The heaviest class can only reach 2.5 or 2.75 accel, so that excess is getting wasted. But 2 accel is still pretty good.
That's one of the many reasons why I hate desert tracks.
