I'm just happy we don't have to play Mario Kart 8D anymore. What a fucking shit house game

I'm just happy we don't have to play Mario Kart 8D anymore. What a fucking shit house game

what should i be seeing

wtf? I sear I could hear this webm for a sec

Cant wait for some comfy times in free roam, and some crazy times with online knockout tour

Cant wait for some comfy times in free roam, and some crazy times with online knockout tour

The knock out tournament looks amazing. Looking forward to more comfy Friday night Mario Kart with you fags.

this game looks so boring compared to CTR. why is every single track just a straight road?

driving in straight lines and doing one lap

this game looks so boring compared to CTR. why is every single track just a straight road?

Well that's just complete bull shit. Also, looking at the diagram for the road in no way accounts for the actual gameplay within - shortcuts, obstacles, multiple levels of play, grinding rails, walls and ceilings to constantly bounce and flip around on.

Go play CTR and pretend it's even remotely comparable to Mario Kart World.

Are the big characters going to be meta because of all the straight line segments? I guess it depends if there's a hidden mini boost stat like 8 but the people who tested the game said just driving in a straight line was faster than trying to do fancy shit.

Are you that retard who keeps posting clips of Ace Combat being played in the most ineptly boring fashion possible in an effort to prove its inferiority?

Worse graphic style than 8 Deluxe

Everything looks greyish

Empty lifeless open world

Intersection tracks gonna be a pain in ass

Small amount of "real" tracks

Mario Kart is such an easy formula. There is lots of potential in creative, fun race tracks. But instead they decided to go open world... jesus christ

Not confirmed iirc, Im skeptical cause maybe thay person was behind the lighting user

What a fucking shit house game

rude, it's great fun
but yes I'm glad we'll have something new it's been a fucking decade

Let's get this thread on track.

Again, havent seen much but retro tracks, which are ok, a little weak, but Im excited for the new courses

Peach touring is such an improvement over the bike suit

WHO ARE YOU MAINING

depends on the meta, i will intentionally pick the opposite of what's good. probably swoop, dolphin, or pokey
haven't seen any of the other things you mentioned

rosa

this one

dont know any courses in the game yet saving the surprise for release

this one

I feel like this woulda been spammed left and right if this was in the game.....

I hate bimbo Rosa art like you wouldn't believe.

everything past DS is shit
8 is extra shitty because it stole F-Zero's gimmick

Where is he

Goes to show how dead f zero is when it's gimmick is so easily stolen

maybe

These games look so slow and boring, do people actually play this?

you are going insane and you need to take your medication

It's like 50cc on the left and 100cc on the right.
150cc is usually the baseline and 200cc exists as well

How the fuck does anything that terrible even ship in a game

why are you on this board if you've never even played mario kart? serious question

You can't have the broadest appeal possible without some baby modes anon.

Why would you play this shit? Why play it over say, Outrun 2006 c2c? Are you being pressured to play it?

This new generation prefers their games to be on-rails. If a modern Mario Kart were to give the player actual control over their vehicle they'd call it "clunky", "slippery", etc.

True, these games are basically fake. Glorified cutscenes you act your role in.

The WiiU CPU was shit at physics, due not having SIMD processing.
Zelda had to cheat and use GPU compute to do things the fucking 3DS would be able to do on the CPU.

F Zero gimmick

Ah, yes. I love the side and spin attacks in Mario kart

nostalgia
I love 7 but if I dont miss having to play the entire lighting cup just to play airship fortress. Each cup had that one track that sucked, like the wii sports ones or rosa ice world

I'm being held hostage.
I have to buys a switch 2 and mkw to get out and also play 200 hours

CTR perfected the genre

Lol no

it died

Because it in fact did not perfect the genre

do people actually play this?

No, because it isnt out yet you moron

200cc exists as well

We dont know yet if its a thing in world, I really really REALLY hope it is, and my wet dream is a 250cc or so. You would also think it will be a thing because it was well received in 8D, but who knows

WHO ARE YOU MAINING

Chucksterman

WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE COSTUME

Mariachi Waluigi, with Touring Peach a close second

FAVOURITE COURSE (so far)

DK Spaceport

Lmao. There is so much giant cuts in this game and you chose the one you can't.

I wasnt excited at first, just cared about Bananza. But each day I get more excited about World, I already replayed Super Circuit and DS, and I cant stop watching Mario kart retrospectives on youtube

I have never even heard of this specific game before you typed that dumb shit, old man. Everybody knows mario kart

I don't think 250cc needs to be a thing.
Most tracks barely work in 200cc.

right here

8 does the job. Tours tracks ruined the random rotation. All of them are shit.

Am I going crazy? I cannot understand why anyone would be excited for MKW, let alone buy a new console to play it. Everything about the game looks off and lame, and all the novelties seem like they would make the classic mode worse. Why is everyone losing their minds over it?

le Wii U CPU is to blame!

just ignore the 6 Mario Karts with better physics on weaker consoles

I like most of them.
But Tokyo blur and and like one other one I saw are super terrible.

What's different about classic mode?

I feel the exact opposite. I dislike most of them but there's like 2 that I enjoy.

dunno what you're on about, looks like it has more depth than any mario kart game thus far
charge jumps, grinding, and wall riding will add a lot of options and strategy
best character roster yet too, and they got rid of the lame vehicle building shit that plagued the last 14 years

These tracks are wider (24 racers) and intermissions seem even better for a fast mode

That's not an explanation of why you would play it you sissy faggot. Answer the question.

Its a new Mario Kart, with Tony Hawk-esque mechanica, more racers and a comfy free roam mode which fullfills many anons dream (most of us played a MK game and messed around in the tracks, wanting to explore the world). If you dont care its fine, but dont act as if it was incomprehensible

On the contrary I think 200cc will actually be good for once in this game

Nobody thinks this, 7 is the 'that guy' of MK.

Wuhu island and make wuhu are amazing though.
I wish.they came back

Thats my point...

Wii Sports is a relic of a dead and forgotten past now. They aren't bringing them back.

It has cute princess costumes

Well the major difference I guess is that I dont think 200cc is great in mk8 but I think the wider track will make it better in world.
So I think 250cc will be too much

Since the CCs in Mario Kart don't make sense anyway they should just make them all faster.

I liked the battle stage, never cared for the race tracks. I never played wii sports resort so that prob plays into it. I loved 7s star cup but thought ending on Maka Wuhu was so lame

I already played them, and haven't played them in a long time, Im not gonna play the new one. Im not gonna play outrun either cause its just a straight line and im not a big fan of racing games anyway

why do they keep bringing back lakitu? i think i've seen 2 lakitu players in all my time playing mk7 through mk8d

The ccs to make sense though.
They are consistent

Because people make believe that people actually like to play anything but the main cast mario characters

people actually like to play anything but the main cast mario characters

did you miss mkwii where everyone plays a side character from donkey kong and mk8d where everyone played the epitome of side characters, waluigi

Waluigi is main cast for mario side games.
Funky was broken

We obviously aren't talking about meta fags.

Better overall tracks.

Seriously, the retros in MK7 were GOATed.

Waluigi is main cast for mario side games

didn't even make it to mk7

Funky was broken

so was daisy, but the vast majority went funky

we aren't talking about the playerbase

ok then who are we talking about? little timmy down the street?

WHO ARE YOU MAINING

Luigi. Probably King Boo and Goomba as well. Mii if they're in.

WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE COSTUME

Mechanic Luigi looks nice.

Acorn Heights or Bowser's Castle thus far.

WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE COSTUME

Deltarune

FAVOURITE COURSE (so far)

Deltarune

Once I'm done with Deltarune I'll hear from you fags whether World is actually worth dropping a shit load for.

Yes we are talking about little timmie.
Not 0.5 percent of the playerbase that also knows what bagging is

little timmy exclusively plays bowser and gets last place every race, so i don't know why he'd be in consideration for roster picks

Because thiers more little Timmy's than meta fags.

then why did they remove dry bowser

To sell to little Timmy's

Everyone plays yoshi now.

mr. timmy is not giving up his credit card so his son can buy wacky skins in fortnite

Anything other than double dash is ass

Free Roam looks GOATed.
All of the default characters can get costumes.
Intermissions actually look hella fun to race through due to all the shit they added to the roads.
All the Kamek unlocks look neat + Goomba is finally playable in Mario Kart after so long.
Missions are back.
No anti-gravity.
Charge Jump and Wall Grinding are really good new techniques.
Feather is back in the item roster, which means freeer track design based on alternate pathways and shortcuts.

You'd be surprised at what neglectful parents would do

Because
They
Added
COSTUMES

double ass is the most overrated shit imaginable
haha wacky triple shell spam!

Should MKW go the MK8 route of regular 'ol individually-priced DLC packs, the MK8 Deluxe route of Booster Course Pass which you pay one set price for and then get access to all content as it rolls out, or the CTRNF route of a free monthly battle pass? (actually they could take the every 3 months battle pass like Splatoon 3)

They seem very reticent to talk about post-launch support even though it seems like the most obvious thing in the world.

Also forgot:
No Baby Park. (Only GOATed in Double Dash.)

classic Anon Babbleeenager mindset

what is the difference, it's the same game?

deez nuts lmao gotem

they're in

Who are they?

Rosalina and all her outfits. Looking forward to Boo Cinema.

youtube.com/watch?v=ALY_eOFupgU
No other Crash game before Nitro Fueled referenced this

Is this going to be best racing game of all time?

How do I emulate this?

I'd preffer the booster course

or the CTRNF route

fuck no

Who are they though? I only see one guy, the twit screen even says "one guy" so who are the they that are in?

You emulate it in 1p years

its too different, they ruined it

its just the same, they fumbled it

Zzzzzz

love burnout

hate burnout paradise

love mario kart

im going to hate this one

it is quite literally a gestalt entity of amalgamated characters that refers to itself as 'us', so referring to it as a plurality is appropriate.

You dont HAVE to play free roam, just play regular GP if thats all you want. But keep in mind you couldnt wall ride or grind in Burnout

For me it's daisy

great theme too
youtube.com/watch?v=TT3l3g1Tj58

NTA but that's the thing. People are really banking on wall riding being all that. I'm already writing off rail grinding because its inherently linear.

That's an element of "will this be faster than driving normally? if not, why bother? If it's faster, then what's keeping everyone from just doing it?". Needing an item would work, hence the feather, but from what we're seeing so much of this doesn't require it.

Rail grinding can be used to avoid shells

It's risky, is the thing. Charging up a jump slows you down, and similar to wheelies in MKWii, getting bumped during it messes you up. So you need to be aware of your surroundings and decide if it's worth the risk going for it, especially with so many players.

It will not by itself, just like drifting in itself isnt really effective, the idea is to chain tricks efficiently, thats why the charge jump is the foundation of the new mechanics, its like the ollie in skateboarding.

Unironically blame BotW. Its sheer success deluded nNintendo into thinking EVERYTHING must be open world now.

WHO ARE YOU MAINING

King Boo, but Cataquack is my pick among the new meme characters.

WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE COSTUME

Need to see more, but the casual princess outfits are pretty cute.

FAVOURITE COURSE (so far)

Dino Dino Jungle, no contest

play as peach, or daisy

use the biker suit

immediately turn off the game and boot up my computer and goon to the princesses instead of playing this dogshit game

MK8 mods have BBW Princesses

MKW doesn't

Simple. As.

But does it have Daisy as an elephant?

What do you think about many generic enemies joining the playable roster?

Why would you buy the game, then?

To goon to Donkey Kong.

Whatever, I just wish they used some of the more iconic bosses and whatnot, instead of focusing on normal enemies. Cant see why they wouldnr add both, unless they are unlockable or paid DLC

It's good outside of no king bomb omb

It's pretty good. Goomba has been a sleeper hope for me.

Honestly it took to long for Goomba to become playable.

Wasn't it shown that shells can go on rails? They be pretty broken otherwise because they also charge a mini turbo AND have inner turn rails so it would be faster to boot.

I mean yeah its cool, kind of. Characters like Goomba are ridiuclously overdue but some of them like this ladybug looking ass and the fishbones are literal whos

Its kinda obvious that they intend to work on a LOT of DLC for this game after the success of 8's season pass, so they've added COSTUMES, but more importantly they rounded out the launch roster with a fuckton of literal whos so they can sell the cool characters to us later on

the series is dead because Nintendo is too retarded to release an F-Zero game for consoles people actually own
also Sega making GX so good basically mindbroke Miyamoto

If a shell is thrown on. A rail then it follows the rail.
If you jump onto a rail the shell will naturally collide with the side of the rail.
They shown this in the direct.

big fan, i've always wanted shit like goomba to be playable, it's not fair that koopas got all the spotlight all these years
gonna have a blast playing my boys swoop and pokey

Goomba is iconic, tho

since so much of the world is not an track specifically and intermission tracks are in-betweens and specific tracks either.

Alot of the music in the game are cool mario kart remixes of classic mario series tunes.
I look forward to listening to the ost.

no brand food.

They shoulda made the meals iconic brand food for the memes.

So people just don't throw shells if there's a nearby rail?

What kind of Dash Food would you want to eat?
mariowiki.com/Dash_Food
I want to eat the pancakes, the pizza, the sushi, the curry & rice, and the cakes.

Yes? There will be conter play if that's what your asking.

I realized after many attempts that I only really like mc donalds pancakes.
Heart butter milk pancakes make me get sick of them really quick

Open world

has tons of new mechanics for the first time in forever

Based canon fodder drivers instead of super special favorites

Seems pretty based to me.

All of them. Im already thinking what I'll eat when I play for the first time. Is either burgers (first choice but a little hard to eat while playing), pizza (easier but still a little harder), a simple homemade dinner, or nothing and just buy a taro frozen or somethibg like that. After working out of course, so I can eat junk food without remorse

Well, for me:

Princess bros are eating so good.

Your picks actually all make sense since I like almost everything you listed, NBC in particular I like because how fun it is to drive and drift through the rainy neon city setting, Sky Garden I remember being one of my favorite tracks to drive in DS and having that drive through the gates mission where you had to use one of the mushroom cuts
Pipeline is fun but still not my favorite Tour nitro, and if I had to pick specific Tour variants(s) that are the best I’d say all the Madrid T and RT variants in general, they were all very fun and showed off what makes T and RTs interesting, really a shame they all only ever appear once per year and none are ranked

I'll be maining my girl Rosalina.
Favorite costume is either Aurora or pic related
Favorite course is probably Starview Peak for the Galaxy vibes

MARIO GETS TO HAVE SEX WITH THAT? DAYUMMMMMM!!!!

I'd imagine someone who'd played both Mario Kart and Outrun would be able to feel how little overlap in appeal they have pretty quickly

Neo Bowser City is probably my actual favorite Mario Kart track of all time simply because of how fun it is to drive with all the sharp turns and slippery road due to the rain coupled with the cyberpunk neon city aesthetic and one of the most banging themes of all time.

mario kart has appeal? To who? Retarded sales faggots and children?

Imagine banging gaming's most desirable and iconic woman.

Oh no we got big mature man over here

This. As far as quality goes, MK7 had some of the greatest tracks in the entire series. Not all were great, but its highs supersede all else

I just think people aren't thinking about how much is going to get stamped out by basic meta play. I know it's easy to look down your nose at idea of metafaggotry in mario kart. But there's some really basic stuff that people will learn to do simply because they aren't retarded.

Yeah, Neo Bowser City is one of the best tracks in both 7 and 8 thanks to the atmosphere + being difficult, yet importantly, still fun
Ironically, because a lot of the fun of it comes from the driving and turns (and with bowser tour still fresh in my mind) it’s one of those tracks that ended up being significantly worse in Tour, compared to the GBA Bowser Castles in that same tour

You actually play this fagot shit?

I just hope the character balance is not too shit.
It really drains the fun when everyone plays the same kart and character combo

This may sound weird to most of you guys but the reason I loved playing ctr as a kid is because of the story mode. Never played any challenges. It was very fun to play each racetrack in every world and then beat the boss.

Do you have to unlock them by being hit by a Magikoopa shapeshifting spell

Yeah

Nah, I get it. I played Diddy Kong Racing for the same reason.
Agreed. Also, I think it's funny, but Neo Bowser City is probably the closest thing we're ever going to get to a Bowser Circuit track.

no they're just friends

who fuck

MK8 looks better

Tendies

the last time he got any action from her was a kiss on the nose nearly 3 decades ago

Neo Bowser City is probably the closest thing we're ever going to get to a Bowser Circuit track

Actually fun fact, NBC is internally called “AdvancedCircuit” in 7, and some stuff in Tour calls it “AC” (abbreviation); the music for it also remixes the opening and 2nd half of the MK7 circuit theme
So while it’s not officially named a circuit, during development it could’ve been considered a circuit. If it was considered a circuit it’d be the best circuit in the series without a doubt (screw you SNES MC3 and Daisy Circuits)

As a compfag and time trialer I’m excited but also nervous that the game might not be that deep mechanically. The new drifting mechanics made snaking slower than just driving straight and soft drifting is also gone. Obviously new stuff will be found and hopefully that stuff is cooler and has a higher skill ceiling than what we lost.

I only started playing CTR seriously very recently. I played it as a kid but just before the remakes came out I had the chance to study it a little bit and uncovered the whole boosting and drifting system and how it interacts with slopes and it completely changed my perspective on the game. It's one thing to complete it by going for all the goodies it feels good to see a big old 100% save but the real appeal of the game is it's allowance for mastery and you could do some truly insane shit in that game and it plays incredibly. A Mario kart game will never reach those sites and for some reason Nintendo seemed incapable of this.

I'm sure it does

Snaking was always shit

Yeah, and it adds Bowser to the list of characters who've had a circuit track:

Mario

Luigi

Peach

Toad

Yoshi

Which means that all the main Mario members have gotten a circuit track.

Also, I just find it funny but everytime they add rain to a Circuit track, it somehow becomes GOATed as fuck. Luigi Circuit? GOATed. Neo Bowser City? GOATed.

I wonder what the emulation scene will be like for the switch 2. I doubt it'll take off as quickly as the switch 1 scene did.

??? snaking is faster when you have low to medium speed and high mini turbo, which is the meta rn in 8DX. it adds a lot of skill to sections that would otherwise be just holding A

WHO ARE YOU MAINING

Pic related

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE COSTUME

It's between pic related and his pink variant which to me looks like an ice cream parlor outfit.

FAVOURITE COURSE (so far)

Dino Dino Jungle is going to be an S-tier course. Everything from the visuals to the alternate paths in the lab portion look like they'll be a blast.

I wonder what a Rosalina Circuit or Pauline Circuit would be like, huh
Oh, and another “unofficial” circuit in the series is Tokyo Blur, because Mario’s logo is on the start line, the music sounds like circuit music and also uses the MK7 circuit leitmotif, the track seems designed like a standard circuit, and the Mario Tour in 2021 used Tokyo as the main track
Tokyo kind of sucks in all 17 of its versions, though

WHO ARE YOU MAINING

Wario, but i'll also try out Peepa, Sidestepper, DK and Monty

WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE COSTUME

There are a lot of great ones but Sultan Wario looks amazing

FAVOURITE COURSE (so far)

Hard to say without playing any of them yet but Great ? block ruins looks really cool

I ment as a concept snaking was shit

Why

Because drifting shouldn't not be a means of going faster in a straight

You can literally do that shortcut in the SNES version. What a shitload of fuck.

Different games have different shortcuts.

Hot take.
I actually hate tracks that have ginormous cuts in them.
Dk pass and that ice track really shit imo for it.

Shy Guy
Green
Mario Circuit

Pauline Circuit would probably take place in a standard metro city. I don't think Rosalina's usual themes (space and snow) lend themselves well to a circuit, though maybe a circuit with ice on the road up in the mountains where you would have both offroad cuts and treacherous ravines to fall off and also could watch northern lights could work.

focusing on faces in a kart racer

8 is legitimately looking at better at times.
youtube.com/watch?v=g-A_IB_XXl4&t=456s

Nah it's really not.
Wario ship yard would melt a normal switch

Precisely, you're having to shift focus away from the comparison I've pointed you to.

Uh oh here comes the tykes!

Most people I guess

unironically prefer this over smashkartfaggotry

I'm not shifting anything. Moomoo meadows looks better too. And has shifting day and night cycles.

Why doesn’t World have Baby Pauline?

Is a karting game that you can play with both your grandma and your niece

I do hope that they focus less on circuits and more on unique tracks in the future, Starview Peak looks better than what a hypothetical Rosalina Circuit might be like

I sort of want to play one of them and I fear I’m falling down a horrifying slope by considering it.

I'm not shifting anything. Moomoo meadows looks better too.

You literally just did it again. The fact that you need to bring other tracks instead of the comparison I just pointed you to via the video shows you're acknowledge the instance where 8 does look better.

I admit to these three being absolutely adorable.
But I still think it's rather strange that the babies seem to have become main stay racers.
It almost feels like they aren't even actual baby versions of there respective characters and just thier own thing.

tracks with big cuts promote the scummiest playstyle (bagging)

It's a spoiler.

no these " two completely different looking tracks should the the comparison.

Not the exact same track like moomoo.
Yeah okay fag

and for some reason Nintendo seemed incapable of this.

Because adapting CTR completely to Mario Kart would turn off the majority of the audience, they have been adding small stuff from there since Doubling Dash, but it will never reach the insane shit like being able to be next to the 8th while being the first one on the race

i really don't like how the kart tilts when you drift, feels like you're gonna flip over

no these " two completely different looking tracks should the the comparison.

Yes? The claim I made was that 8 looks better at times. I pointed to one of the times it looks better. You shifting to a different comparison isn't disproving at it looks better at that time.

Besides, the two tracks do have some similarities (both at night, very metallic/futuristic tracks) they were included in the comparison for a reason.

Yeah you win I guess 8 looks better at times. With its specifically curated shadowing

Generally speaking, a new Mario Kart always includes 2-3 new Circuit tracks because they are akin to most normal of racing tracks and having easy and advanced versions of normal racing tracks is good to give all tracks a couple standard tracks to compare to.

Elephant princess DLC when?

They won't have cute breaststroke and curvy legs so I have no interest.

I never really realized how passionate people are about tracks when I see these tier list videos on tracks.
I mostly like everything in mk8. And just allocate it to different experiences.
I think the only track I don't like is toads turnpike and Tokyo blur
As the optimal lines are super boring.

if you're talking boring how can you not mention "this is literally just an oval with tricks" excitebike arena and sky-high sundae

Tricks fire neurons in my brain.
Very satisfying.
I can't play mario karts before wii anymore because of this.

what is satisfying about pressing the R button 15 times

But if you're not passionate about what tracks you like, how are you going to put together them together into your very own Mario Kart cup?

I don't know. I have no comprehensive explanation.
I enjoy them

I have favorites.
I simply don't have many tracks I "dislike"
Basically most thing In my theoretical tier list would be B and A and S
With only 2 D tiers.

MK8D Booster Course Pass again. Also want to see them add stuff to the open world as islands/continents like

Big House

Ribbon Road

Squeaky Clean Sprint

Sweet Sweet Canyon

Waluigi Pinball

Delfino Isle

Coconut Mall

Delfino Square

Sunshine Airport

Daisy Cruiser

Theme Park

Baby Park

Water Park

Music Park

?

Music Park is all the way up in space though.

If this was an "everyone is here" situation like people originally thought and it had all of the regular cast PLUS the extras it'd be cool. The fact that they removed a lot of actual characters to make room for them makes the whole thing just seem weird to me.

You can put coconut mall in the theme park while delfino Harbour can go in the isle.
Though preferably they would have a new track in each of these placeses

City Cup

GCN Mushroom City

Wii Moonview Highway

WiiU Electrodrome

?

So? We take a canon to space like other high verticality tracks.

Nobody on these threads is good enough to actually encounter bagging in worldwides

Electrodome

Damnit, knew I was forgetting something with the theme park cup. Then again, it would be the only course without "park" in it and that's triggering my tism.

Bimbo

Breast are visibly saggy and not plastic

Lips aren't full of gunk

Anon, that is a milf. Not a bimbom

It's shit SHIT

That’s why they added all the costumes!
So there can be some variety in the one character everyone uses.
They got the idea from the Yoshi meta

can’t see items people have unless it’s a protection item

no soft drifting

no snaking

reduced item counterplay

intermission tracks are straight lines

rail grinding takes no skill

no more glider vectoring

inward drift is gone

scoring system is broken

yeah I think all the competitive players will go back to mk8dx and mkwii within a year

Medieval region

3DS Rock Rock Mountain

SNES Donut Plains

N64 Banshee Boardwalk

Luigi's Woods (drive through a medieval village and the nearby woods)

Imagine criticizing a man who likes some meat in their women while you chase after bone dry bitches.

CTR is so great it died twice and the only way they could keep it on life support was with fortnite battle pass skins

im really sad about the scoring system because it means lounge will probably be run with 12 instead of 24. having such a huge difference between lounge and worldwides is going to make getting better at either of them harder and less satisfying

Where is he.

You forgot the active step to remove bagging.
It's already better for that alone

can’t see items people have unless it’s a protection item

good, needing to break my neck and strain my eyes to figure out if the guy behind me is holding a super horn or a red shell was retarded. the information i have to work with is now equal without needing to discern such minute details

no soft drifting

no idea what that is so it can't be that important

no snaking

good

reduced item counterplay

such as?

intermission tracks are straight lines

intermission tracks are gimmicks that won't be used in competitive play

rail grinding takes no skill

blatantly false. you need to trick off of the rail in a good spot to bounce and trick off of other shit in the terrain for ideal speed boosts. this takes more skill than anything in any previous mario kart

no more glider vectoring

oh noo they removed a glitch!

inward drift is gone

as if anyone used that shit past wii

scoring system is broken

easily fixable

stop acting like you play comp

bagging is a necessary evil, otherwise every track is just mindless frontrunning while praying you don’t get unlucky and get sent to the back with no way to catch up.

if you don’t know what soft drifting is then you should be the last person telling other people they don’t play comp you fucking retard.

get glasses bro, you shouldn’t need to strain your eyes to see that shit

stuck on PS4 in locked 30 fps and loading times and matchmaking so bad it could take up to 10 minutes from launching the game to starting a race

gee I wonder why it died

he doesn't know every single one of my epic gamer terms? he must be bad!

The intermissions account for like 2/3rds of the gameplay. They required the same amount of efforts as regular tracks. So simply opting to ignore them is like opting to ignore 2/3rds of the game's tracks.

soft drifting is like a stepping stone you learn way before you can even get close to playing comp. it’s REQUIRED to making 99% of the optimal lines in 8dx work. if you don’t know what it is, you aren’t good.

i don't need to know what something is called to know how to do it, retard

Nah front running tracks a fine in 8.
All the bagging track are giant shit show.

Electrodrome is more of a nightclub setting than any sort of theme park

Good to know the 1/3 thats left are 30+ full tracks

i just hate faggots clipping through walls and shit fuck off with that

honestly just post your best time trial or your lounge profile or kill yourself. if you don’t know what soft drifting is of all things, you won’t know shit about anything else.

no thanks, it's fun watching you have a breakdown

time trial keks losing thier minds at not being able to snake.

Good. Drifting should never be the faster movement in straights.

Yeah I too like holding down the A button fellow A button chad. We are so much better than those freaks haha.

Was Mario Kart always this slow?
After playing tons of SRB2K and DRRR, this just seems painful.

yeah let's just pretend charge jumps, chain tricks, and wall riding don't exist

that's 100cc dummy
also nobody knows your stupid abbreviations

Charge jumps are slower on straightaways too.

hence the chain tricks
you're supposed to use them to bounce off of shit in the terrain and get a big boost from double tricking

Pretty sure the mario kart 8 part is 50cc.

That won’t be fun or skillful in time trials

if your idea of fun / skillful is snaking i'm glad you're suffering

Inside drift is the best feature in Mario Kart Wii.

inside drift is a retardedly unbalanced feature in mario kart wii that makes 95% of the vehicles a non-option if you want to win

Yes snaking has and always will be shit.

Anon Babble defending the skill ceiling of the game getting reduced

2 months later

”this mario kart is for babies, it sucks!!!”

NTA but probably because tricks give you a speed boost so you can feel yourself going faster by chaining tricks together.

I dunno I like Excitebike arena as well. Baby Park is the oval I hate and I hate it for the reason most people love it.

I don’t like that people better than me can go faster than me in a racing game

you’re playing the wrong genre

Mario kart is for babies!!!

You aren't shocking anyone with that statement.

5 years later

damn Mario Kart X is soulless

now Mario Kart World, THAT was a fucking game

people better than me.

No I don't like the idea of a DRIFT for turning being better for STRAIGHTS

Too true fellow A button holder.

Ain't mario kart wii considered the most technical mario kart?
They didn't use snaking in that game

Anything that you can do to make you go faster in a race should be situational. If there's something that can do be done at all times to the point that you have no reason to not ever do it then that's going to just get tedious as you're expected to do it over and over.

Anon Babble is always full of super bad players for any multiplayer game. if you join any of the fighting game lobbies you’d see people with hundreds of hours who aren’t much better than beginners.

So true. Holding the A button is way cooler and less tedious.

ctr fags

"pro" time trialers

x game is better than y game.

Yup this a pre release thread alright.

that game has a speed meta and wheelies which are their own thing. mk world has literally nothing going on in straightaways which is also like 2/3rds of the tracks in the game.

the timer fag is having a melty about simple game mechanics

I'm totally sure that's the case future anon

people claim to hate bagging but simultaneously really want Mario Kart to be an item casino with no racing skill involved

you don't have to play anything ever

wheelies are brain dead and easy as fuck to preform.
They just don't count because???????
The game succeeded in being technical without a need to for nonsensical snaking.

the cost of open world slop

Yes it is nice to just hold the A button and then look for more interesting ways to be optimal via the layout of the track. That has more depth than doing literally the same thing over and over.

I think you can find a balance between exceptionally powerful items and 100% pure skill.
The skilled player should win most of the time for thier driving but it shouldn't be impossible to knock em down a peg with items with balanced items.

They really needed to do that or else 8 would look way better on movement alone.

I just want items to not be so powerful that they decide the outcome most of the time.
When nintendo has to nerf bagging, you know shit is bad.

items are too OP, nerf them nitnendo!!!!!

also remove snaking, it’s stupid

also get rid of short cuts, they are just a knowledge check and too cheesy

also get rid of soft drifting please, it’s too hard to do

also get rid of motion glider, it’s literal big abuse!!!!

They didn't have to, it's a criticism of 8 Deluxe that gets completely blown out of proportion. It's not even meta in the majority of the game's tracks.

You people need to play a real racing game like F-zero GX and RRT4 if you are bitching about turns and fastness. Use the brake retards.

finally bagging is nerfed

time to drive in a straight line and pray I don’t get mario karted

i love how nintendo lowered the skill and made tracks straight lines, it’s perfect!!

BEST GAME EVARRRRR

Nah some of the top players I watch will fucking bag for coins my guy. It's that bad.

I want giant short cuts gone because what's the point in cutting out a third of the track?
It's the same reason I think yoshis island is a trash map. Because 50% of it is pointless.

bagging for coins will be even more important, you need to get to 20 now and all the new items that give coins benefit the people behind the one who used it

Coin shell litterally benefits you.

Thats only if the assumption that coins yield an equal speed boost to mk8.
If every coin is half the value of mk8 it would make bagging for coins much weaker.

use coin shell

guy ahead of me dodges the shell and picks up all the coins

can’t pick them up because i’m behind and he picked them up already

Yup, just as intended

Yes

Only if you get to follow its trail. If I see someone in front of me throw a coin shell then I’m targeting them and stealing their money.

"its too easy, game will be shit"

same anon shocked months/years later that he gets sistematically beaten by more technical players

Could you point to an example? Any video of competitive Mario Kart I can find has everyone racing properly as long as it isn't a bagging track.

They aren't. The roads between tracks are largely straight, but the actual tracks are not

all these people talking shit better post some impressive time trials or mogi results. not the a button schizo anon but we have people in this thread pretending to be high level comp players without know what soft drifting is. that’s not even subtle levels of larping.

I think they'll make it so you can pick anyone and do well to attract more normies instead of meta whores but we'll see

That's literally every game ever made. The devs always TRY to make everyone as balanced as possible, but in a game where there's differences between characters there's always going to be options that work better. That isn't something you can iron out without just removing character differences entirely.

same anon shocked months/years later

Yeah but he's grow right back to normal size a second later so who gives a fuck.
