The Mario Kart Thread

Yeah, I dare you to go to worldwide rooms where avg players are 8000VR with that garbage.

Thats cool you can win against random trash, but tiers are tiers and if you check all the top time trials look who is used.

Baby Daisy on bullet is good.

How the hell do you regain your speed SUPER fast after getting nailed by a POW Block?

You can trick out of the Pow block, when you see/hear the second pow sound, just mash the trick button.

I know you can trick outta it but I’ve seen people get hit by one and then continue speeding along like NOTHING happened…

Maybe like with the A+B boost? I haven’t tried it yet but I heard that if you press that when you get hit, you get a boost. (oh, wait, that was just above my last post)

Yeah when you trick out of it you maintain your speed, I dunno what you saw prolly a high acceleration vehicle or some lag. It is not the A+B boost because just like I said you maintain your speed when you trick out of it.

when you tech all you do is lose any items you had… your speed doesnt drop

Been there and done that. They usually quit when they start losing points.
And time trials do not equal Wi-Fi races. Time trials use short-cuts and flat out bugs that are often impossible to use on Wi-Fi races (Grumble Volcano comes to mind). Plus the randomness of items and other players makes a big difference.
I was on the dev staff, I know my stuff.

Wow, great example, one map with a bug. Yes I seen all the time trial crazy shortcuts, but still look at the one’s that do not have crazy shortcuts. You still see Funky/Daisy. Items randomness applies to everyone in the game, so that element is canceled out. Items don’t directly affect just top tiers, I dunno what you are thinking. Other players make a big difference? This sounds like “Tiers do not exist, only the player skills matter”. That’s GAMEFAQS talk.

I assure everyone in this thread that Funky with Bowser Bike and Daisy on Mach are the top two in this game.

meh… fuck the both of em… yoshi ftw!

Yoshi sucks tho =[ But I still use him[/fanboy]

say what??? my yoshi rapes nigga… you of all people should know lol

^ Huh? What?

Looking at that chart it seems only a few characters only get some kind of boost in stats.

i used the shortcut on GV in a race before. it wasnt online but there was 4 people playing and they all were mad at me :rofl:

also w3s would you say baby daisy on bb is third?

Yes not all characters have stat boosts

And yes baby daisy on bullet bike is 3rd

That A+B thingy is pretty damn useful. Unless you’re on a hill =/

more of a stat chart then a tier chart.

And you can’t infer from obvious stats what the tiers are? I gave a summary right under it too:wtf:

Nintendo is deleting Time Trial records that use the GV shortcut in the very beginning, but they never deleted the record with the shortcut mid way through the level. Thoughts?

So going by that chart, uterly useless characters are.

-Mario
-Luigi
-Yoshi =[
-Bowser jr.
-Baby Peach
-Bowser =[
-Rosalina =[
-Donkey Kong

When I mean useless I mean that thier higest boosted stats are uesless things like “Weight” or something or they have low numbers going for them.

I say random items kinda screw over tier charts also.

P.S baby peach on b.bike pwnz
