Would 200CC really fix anything?

Could open up some shortcuts that didn't exist before without a mushroom. Could also break some of them though.

Remove hidden stats, make it so you keep your speed when charging a jump, make rails give you higher tiers of boost faster and remove the stupid fucking mechanic of mashing the item button to stop the item wheel in favor of the lower your placement in the race the faster the wheel stops.

There now the game feels better paced already.

If you don't use exclusively the Pipe Frame kart, you're playing the game wrong.

>>714436720 (OP)
It'd make the boring ass intermissions finish faster. So, kinda?

Off road can be more valueable in 200cc. It'll at least make intermissions go by faster. Assuming 200cc is possible.

>>714436720 (OP)
There will always be metafags, unfortunately. I just like going out of my way to use random stuff and focus on fucking over any baby blooper users.

>>714440254
It's definitely possible, go play Rainbow Road or Bowser's Castle, they already have it in the game.

you can achieve the same statline as it with all but -1 handling with 4 other cars
The problem is braindead meta slaves

>>714440969
Peach/Daisy with the Mach Rocket/ROB HOG isn't even -1 handling right? It's just the same stats isn't it?

>remove hidden stats
too late for that. The best thing to do would be make them visible ingame but ninteno won't do that.
>make it so you keep your speed when charging a jump
this i agree with. Otherwise there no point to charging them past blue.
>make rails give you higher tiers of boost faster
No I think rails are fine as they are. Everyone just hops on them anyway.
> remove the stupid fucking mechanic of mashing the item button to stop the item wheel in favor of the lower your placement in the race the faster the wheel stops.
this has been a thing for decades. like n64 or GCN.
>>714440969
need an upated version of this image. some of these stats are wrong. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t3BeXH3shj6Rh7x0ROFD81ZBxyumQFs9pebbnYcfWi4

>>714441278
Yeah these as well and Coin Coffer

>>714440675
I wonder if we'll get red P-Switches for 200cc missions in free roam.

Why do retards need to be meta in mario fart?

>>714441441
Because any other racing game would just tell you the truth about its stats/mechanics without making the player assume theyre playing inefficiently.

>>714441441
This comments are incredibly grating.
DS has Dry Bomber
Wii had Funky/Flame Runner and Daisy/Mach
7 had Metal Mario/Bdasher/Monsters
Wii U 8 had Heavies/Pipe Frame or Blue Falcon
Switch 8 had Teddy Buggy(Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Birdo, Peachette, Tanooki Mario, Male Villager, Inkling Boy)

This shit will always happen wether people want it to or not.

i chose that kart cause i love bloopers and it looks cute. now its just related to meta shit. this sucks

you here reefbro?

what the fuck am i looking at here

>>714441441
>>714441770
CTR Nitro Fueled solved this by separating characters/vehicles from stats, you're just given a few stat presets to use interchangeably. I was hoping it would be among the first changes Nintendo would make in this game, but keeping the old system was just one of its many retarded design choices.

>>714441770
It annoys me how prevalent it is despite race outcomes being totally random. If I'm in a Pipe Frame finishing 5th in a race with 16 Baby Bloopers, you may as well have some self respect and pick something you actually like.
>>714443134
Nintendo having absolutely no experience with games other than their own is frustrating, it's like they're in a cave and insist on discovering fire by themselves.

>>714442039
Use what you want, don't let metafags ruin it for you

Can any good players here offer any practical tips for improving? I've plateaued at ~8250 VR. I can get as high as 8500 but I lose it all again depending on the skill level of the players. I watch Shortcat on Youtube and try to emulate what he does but I can't understand the secret sauce that makes it work for him but not for me.

I pick characters & karts that look good toghter
koopa on da frog kart
shy guy on da lobster
chargin chuck on da chargin truck

>>714440969
>nerfing your handling by 1
Why would you do that?

>>714444327
lower handling can be a benefit at times because you can get higher levels of miniturbo on some turns

>>714444032
what mode

>>714445467
Worldwide. Specifically I struggle with item strategy/management. I can actually get pretty good at time trials but keeping up with the on-screen item havoc is tricky for me

>>714440969
Why would you use a vehicle that has identical stats to the best vehicle besides literally 1 less of arguably the most important stat?

>>714445620
you're gonna want to stay in the back, get a bunch of coins and good items, gradually crawl your way into the crowd as you're nearing the final lap, and try to win from there with your good items

>>714445628
handling is the second least important stat in this game wtf are you on about
acceleration >= speed > handling > weight

>>714445770
In previous Mario Karts, maybe, but here good handling is what allows you to perform those extreme shortcuts like on Bowser's Castle and Great ? Ruins. It's much harder to pull those shortcuts off when your turning is bad.

>make it so you keep your speed when charging a jump
You have to take away the speed boost in exchange, otherwise the game just becomes charging at all times which would be dumb as fuck. You lose speed when charging for a reason.
