>the better you are the less fun it is
huh?

skill issue

mariokart is about strategy, not speed

>>713032572
>>713032561
skill and strategy mean nothing when you can get chain fucked by 5 items with nothing but a coin and banana to protect yourself

Nah, that's total cope. You can avoid 99% of all of the items if you play optimally; utilizing shortcuts, managing your items, and not being a fucking retard. The fag that said "bro just hang in the back until the end" is a retarded low skill player that can't even grind on rails.

>>713032730
you are supposed to stay near the back of the pack, HODL at least 1 good item, then shortcut your way to victory in the last third of the race. That's the winning mariokart strat.

>>713032572
I'm just too smart for Mario Kart World

>>713032810
retard spotted

>>713032572
>sit in 2nd-4th for majority of race
>pray for super horn
>tryhard on last lap
Now THATS strategy!

>>713032869
You should go pro

>>713032982
it's called bagging nigga

>stay towards back
>have good items
>go to first place
>immediately get lightninged, blue shelled, and red shelled
>now in last place
no skill can protect from that

>>713033003
That's bad play, see >>713032810
>>713033051
You went to first too early

>>713033109
So its not about strategy, its about ONE strategy.

Melee and its consequences have been a disaster for the skilled Nintendo gamer

mariokart online MP isn't about getting 1st every time it's about consistently placing high
There's a reason racers don't actually race like Ricky Bobby and it's because you don't score good that way.

>winning race
>that means you're bad at the game
MK is 90% RNG

>>713033287
No, that's just the best overall strat it ain't the only one

>>713033348
OK then, what are some other winning strategies?

>>713033414
the only winning move is to not play

>>713033414
focus weapons (like shells, fireflower, etc.) on the racers behind you, rather than those in front, while trying to maintain around 2nd-5th place.

Its a party game nigga

>>713032502 (OP)
"Better" is a relative term. In Knockout you generally want to hang around the middle of the pack so you get better item roles and then save those items for the stretch before the finish line, unless you're an absolute beast. Now that the courses and tech are getting figured out I have played knockout tours where first place is like almost an entire course ahead of everyone else and no one ever catches them, it's crazy. Anyone else have this?

>>713033697
its a party game for like 2% of people

>>713033562
> 2nd-5th place
Like I said >>713033003 here, which is supposedly bad play? Nah I don't buy it. The game is too random to strategise and for it to work consistently. Game is very much luck based.

>>713033857
unironic skill issue, you got to be more aggressive when sniping green shells at people behind you

>>713033927
You're full of shit

>>713032502 (OP)
>>the better you are the less fun it is
That's the way it is with all multiplayer games nowadays.
For Mario Kart it's 'equitable' item distribution, and for shooters it's SBMM. There's no reason to improve at the game if all that results in is an unending struggle fest where your skill makes little to no difference and you're unable to ever experiment or have fun without getting curbstomped.

>>713033960
you're a shitter at a babby game

>>713033997
And you're supposedly a master tactician at one you fucking nonce

>>713034060
you can pretend high level play isn't a think if it helps you cope

>>713034119
*thing

>play well and utilize intended mechanics
>game punishes you for trying

>>713034119
>high level play
>at what you yourself call a babby game
Way to dab on yourself, dumbass

>>713033562
>while trying to maintain around 2nd-5th place.
and then you get lightninged or chain red shelled or the guy right behind you has a bullet bill and theres nothing you can do about it

>mind your own business enjoying a race
>RNGod decides to smite you for no particular reason

>>713034313
bullet bills don't do anything in world, they've been nerfed into the fucking ground.
lightning affects the people behind you at that position, and isn't as impactful as you think it is
you can dodge red shells even without an item in world, if you understand wall jumping tech

>put honest effort into engaging with intended mechanics
>get punished with completely unreactable and uncounterable bullshit

>>713034340
why didn't he drive through the fence?

>establish a comfortable lead by playing well
>game decides fuck you
>money stolen

>>713034232
He played well enough a blue shell hit cost him one placement instead of dead last.

>>713034446
>isn't as impactful as you think it is
it literally freezes you and destroys your item. it completely destroys your retarded "stay back and use an item to win" strategy

same with bullet bill, which is an instant first place if RNG gifts you with it (or if you get lightninged before you can use it)

>>713034760
>he can't predict an upcoming lightning roll
skill issue

mario kart is a fundamentally broken game and anybody defending this trash should an hero

>>713034340
>people cry that the lightning is nerfed from 8
>not realizing it not being unnerfed would make world even more chaotic

>>713034875
>knockout wins today: 0

>>713032502 (OP)
That's pretty much everything in life, even sex

>>713034760
>it completely destroys your retarded "stay back and use an item to win" strategy
lightning only affects players ahead of the person that used lightning.

>>713034875
8800 VR and 9000 on knockout without fagbagging, werkz on my machine

All these webms are very funny, but who didn't know mario kart was pretty much luck atp? This game should be played with homies locally and with a couple of beers. Then it becomes peak.

>>713034875
>>713034735
>drives in the exact middle of the road like a grandpa
>does not even check his rear once
Your issue is that you don't know how to play Mario Kart, git gud nigga

>>713035228
>stay in 2nd-5th place
>somebody in 6-8th place uses lightning
???

>>713035381
shouldn't be a big issue if you created enough of a gap behind you

>>713035338
How would either of those things help in >>713034735 with no items? How does that help in >>713034875 with only a mushroom and getting hit by a shell from in FRONT of you? Quit trollin'.

>>713035501
>5th issue create a big gap from 6-8
this is weak bait

>>713035338
>Check rear
>Oh good now I can see the unavoidable homing shells

>>713035625
>at least I'm aware that I'm being fucked in the ass!

>>713035618
use your items on the racers behind you. It's easier than you think, now that you can aim with the stick in any direction.

>>713034875
>yes ill drive DIRECTLY BEHIND THE GUY WITH 3 GREEN SHELLS

>>713035625
>unavoidable
actual skill issue

>>713032502 (OP)
This game died fast kek

At least no waluwiggers

>random zoomers and jaded 35+ year old milleniboomers are seething about the fact that fucking MARIOKART has RNG and bullshit items

>>713033003
casual located, its the mega mushroom thats broken as shit

>>713032502 (OP)
The game has wicked rubberbanding, you're punished for being in first place. But who really cares? The game doesn't have stat tracking, it's meant to be fun.

they nerfed like 90% of the items this time around, the actual issue is that shortcuts with mushrooms are way too good this time so getting triple mushrooms takes you from like 18th to 3rd instantly

>just hold an item guys
>maintain place and hold item
>hold an item
>stay back and hold an item
>just hold item
*niggers you*

>>713032502 (OP)
So I've got about 70 hours on this game since release with the majority of it being online. I place top 12 in knockout pretty regularly, and I'd say 3/4 of races I'm top 8 minimum.

I've noticed:
Rails are OP. Shells can't hit you there and they are free boost
Wall riding for shortcuts is OP
first two sections (top 20 into top 16) are where the most chaos happens and it benefits you to stay in the middle of the pack. Once you get to top 12 it is basically the exact same as Mario Kart 8, go figure since that game had 12 racers. Once you get to top 12 I have found you can start racing 'normally' and go for first, and a few times I have gotten so far ahead that even if I get blue shelled I remain in 1st until the end of the race

Now I know /v/ and 4chan in general is filled with shut-in, man baby cuck children who complain about everything. But if you aren't of this variety and are complaining about Kart World, I think it's because you are not yet familiar with how the game is balanced and the new tech. Once you are you'll see it is a really great, fun game.

>>713039362
This. I could understand the frustration if there were a ranked queue but there isn't and will never be. It's always been an RNG based party game for F U N and it is extremely fun, especially if you're shitfaced drunk on the weekend playing with friends or /v/ bros

>>713032730
why do gamers insist games must always be fair? for a gambling on wheels simulator that has always clearly loved griefing, i would say it’s actually way more fair than anyone gives it credit for.

>get blue shell
>climb to 2nd place
outplayed.

>>713034232
if he went for the svper vltimate cvt through the dirt i think he would have boosted right after getting hit and managed to still get first

has anyone decompiled this for pc yet?

>>713034232
He could have done the cut faster

>>713034735
>Rosalinas Ravaging

>>713034875
Bruh are we STILL posting the SAME webm even though EVERYONE has pointed out that this is legit LOW SKILL gameplay. Mushroom is the most OP item in MK and always has been and in this clip:

He drives DIRECTLY behind a player with triple green and you ALWAYS ditch your items before Knockout checkpoint because you're going to get new ones (in other words skill diff)
And he doesn't save his mushroom in CASE he is knocked out before the finish for the immediate recovery

you posted the DEFINITION of 'skill issue' and yet you're bitching about the GAMES balance?!? lmao! That's like complaining someone in Street Fighter beat you because he punched you too much. Get fucking real.

>>713034875
streamers and their orbiters are so cringe bro

I like Mario Kart, but it is an absolute tragedy that this never came to PC, along with the Switch port being dogshit. I wish I could force every nintendo only fanboy to play an 8 hour session of this so they could finally understand how great a kart racing game can be.

>>713041963
Nitro is ass. You can 'figure it out' in like 5 races and get 1st every time.
