This has happened to me too many times. I just want 1st you jap fags.

Forza is down the street buddy, I think it might be more your speed

*gets hit with own green-shell*

Just wait for F-Zero to come out so you can play competitively and no items faggot.

Aside from a blue shell in 1st place you literally have nothing to worry about, why are people so fucking bad at this game when it has such a low skill ceiling

>not being able to spend most of your time countering all the bullshit the game throws at you
Video games are supposed to be fun.

>getting blue shelled in MK8

scrub

8 Deluxe ruins the balance of race mode by allowing everyone to queue up items and fucking with everyone's stats from 8 for zero good reason (on top of throwing in a useless drift tier). Standard 8 was straight up better unless you REALLY like battle mode.

...

>Sony mascot Ricky Bobby

Forgot this meme existed

I dunno why but these kinds of people piss me off for some reason. You can bet at least one of them is one of those fucks waiting for the stage select timer to run out every time as well.

Did the first red shell really matter if you got blue-shelled after it anyway? Why mention it?

If it's autism to not want a 60 dollar rerelease of the same game to at the very least not play worse than sure I'm autistic.

There's literally only one way to counter that and the droprate of that particular weapon is like 5%
Of course you could deliberately spend your time not being 1st but what then what would be the point of three laps? Why call it a racing game in the first place?

just get good

It's still good, you're just autistic for giving a shit about stats in a fuckin Mario Kart game

Uh yeah it’s a mario kart game.
Is this the first one you played?

>Have a character and car you like to use
>They don't control remotely the same even though it's still Mario kart 8
This isn't a defensible change, it was just some lazy tweaks the devs did in place of actual good new content. It's so awful.

Best Mario Kart game is DS. Not even underage, my first one was 64. DS has the widest breadth of content and the best tracks.

And this is why I hate Blue shells.

I have more than a hundred hours in both versions and literally have never noticed a difference, go get some tendies user.

You see, the main issue is that you get better tools to take out those ahead of you when you're in position 6+

Which means position 4-12 is just people fucking over each other with triple reds and the ilk. Where as position 1 gets comfy until the game dishes out blue shells towards the end. Meaning if you can get in position 2 early, you're pretty much certain to win on lap 3 as position 3 is only getting green shells to deal with you.

Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake As in you're automatically wrong

Stop making this thread.

>neckbeards complain about items in Mario Kart but will support the GOP's tax plan

At least he tried to be clever this time

It's ok when 8/8D does it

Man, wii is the WORST

The lack of recovery time after getting hit makes it so trash, that and the item roulette. Oh boy I'm in 12th place because I got steamrolled by everyone, and I get just one mushroom? sweet!

>fucking with everyone's stats from 8 for zero good reason
like half the characters had the exact same stats in vanilla you fucking troglodyte. it was stupid as fuck and they were right to change it.

Best I can do is 3 coins

All these happened in every game since 64 fucko

You can't point the finger at Deluxe

mario kart was better when they all drove the same standard go kart

But there was still always the weight difference

Customization barely makes a difference, the factor is still in your weight class, your just able to alter how much of your weight class you are. Otherwise a heavy character isnt going to reach the acceleration of a Lightweight

TIL people take a casual, social, chill racing game based on characters from kids games this seriously

Neat.

I think you'd need to be a kid to enjoy it, of the ones I've played, the only one I've enjoyed is DS back in high school, Wii and Wii u/switch sucked.

We had this thread yesterday

Second place is WAY worse than first. Once first pulls away the rest of the pack always fight each other for scraps because they get much better items. First place is actually the safest place to be even with blue shells.

i wish Sup Forums would play MK8D tee bee ache

Is someone going to make a room or what

discord fags killed it

>git gud in a party ga-
You know what, he's right. You can at least be better than this.
Not that it'll help you, the result is decided by RNG favouribg last places anyway.

Why did it have to die? It was supposed to become the king!

Because they're kids. About 99% of people that use that mii are kids.

This. Unless you are playing against the CPU then you had better take a car with the highest top speed and get out in front as early and often as you can. All the Mario Kart Sup Forumseekends have taught me this. The winner is usually decided after a single lap because every other driver will go full bucket of crabs.

They need to put that shit on steam

It was there. Right until the studio was closed, when it just disappeared.

I assumed this would be the case when I heard about double item slots.
MKW was enough of a clusterfuck and that only let you have a second item if you held a banana or shell.
They should really go back to 8 racers on the track.

Because people are retarded and think no one can make a good kart racer except Nintendo. Even though Mario Kart is the same shit every time because Nintenbros can't handle any new ideas being introduced.

how the fuck is diddy not in this ffs even mario party has diddy now

Um... sweetie... are you trying to say that Diddy Kong is more important than Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, Pink Gold Peach and Cat Peach because if so.... wow... just wow.

>Nintendo wants you to buy the same $60 game again just to experience a proper Battle mode

AAAH FUCK YOU JEWTENDO

I REGRET EVER BUYING A WII U

There really should have been some kind of My Nintendo exchange.
>Oh, you registered Mario Kart 8 for Wii U?
>Here's a Just for You offer to get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch eShop for only $20!
Or something like that.

If they brought back 4 player balloon battles in N64 block fort this would be the perfect Mario kart

>have the wii u version of MK8
>let uncle borrow wii u and this game plus a few other games
>buy paper mario while borrowing console and accidently swaps the mario kart 8 and paper mario disks and cases
>get wii u back
>open up mario kart 8 to find paper mario
>uncle sells mario kart 8 in the paper mario case on accident on amazon but dude never returns product.
now i dont feel bad for owning the switch version.

This is the ideal male body. You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

>not going wario machine with purple tires on 200 cc

you might not win but by god will you go fast, also use auto steering.

So it's like any other MK

>he doesn't drift 70% of the time
This is the key to winning literally every time.

>fucking with everyone's stats from 8 for zero good reason

Heavier characters were OP. I haven't played the Switch version so I don't know what the changes actually are, but there was definitely some reasoning to fuck with stats.

>Heavier characters were OP.
Heavier characters were unforgiving and gave some semblance of challenge. Light characters were for small kids to tolerate every mistake. They just made the completely braindead portion of the cast faster because this game needs an even lower skill ceiling.

Sure is totally not a trash game.

I bet you scrub drift on straights.

They should steal swarm from Sonic Tranformed.

>avoidable but still slows you down
>also catches any players just trailing behind first
>can be shot down
>nowhere near as frustrating and unfair.

You make this thread every day. Use that time to get good at the game instead.

How does getting good let you avoid getting hit by red shells? You can only have 2 defensive items at most, so you can't protect yourself against triple reds.

I've never had a problem with going for a full acceleration build.

It's fun to zoom past everyone with the first boost and grab all the coins along the way.

I play MK8 often with a friend who is actually good at racing games and he beats me regularly, at least 9 out of 10 times.
Getting good doesn't save you from bullshit but a good player will still always win over a lesser player.
Get good or stop taking fucking Mario Kart as a serious game.

you deserve all of it for playing bowser jr.

I was the Wario that slammed him with all the shells

I hope you feel bad

Why the fuck won't Nintendo develop a way to avoid Blue Shells that doesn't require an item?

Oh? well then good job user. You deserve all of my praise.

It isn't even a proper battle mode. You STILL can't play 3-balloon elimination.

The worst part is that nobody even plays battle mode.They should have revamped some of the god awful the tracks instead.

Triple reds are rare. And it's rare that you'll be behind the boi with trip reds.

Mario Kart is like golf. With the exception of Tiger Woods during a certain stretch of time, no one golfer dominates every time. But a good golfer is in the hunt for every tournament.

Mario Kart is about maximizing your performance in several different, small ways. If you,

-powerslide in and out of every turn flawlessly
-prioritize getting to ten coins
-use items defensively
-take shortcuts
-draft when drafting is available to you
-target your green shells
-bomb/banana the competition right at ramps

Then you're probably finishing in the top 3 or 4 and winning a lot of the time.

If you're losing a lot, it's easy to blame getting shell-fucked, but you're probably doing a lot of the above wrong.

i got 4 red shells from an item box how could i not use them

>They should really go back to 8 racers on the track.

>Triple reds are rare
They would be if it wasn't for the distance based items meme. The more you pull away in fist the better items the guy in 2nd gets.
