Online bullshit aside, does it have the highest skill ceiling among Mario Karts?

anal with daisy

>>714498330 (OP)
It looks fun but I'm not buying a switch for it

I don't really know but I think so. People call me competitive sweatfag when I criticize World, but I could memorize easy to execute shortcuts in 8dx and most of shortcuts in World require much more precision and harder to do.

daisy cute

>>714498330 (OP)
It's way easier. There is almost no need to drift whereas in 8DX it was all about drifting

>>714498330 (OP)
Just got the game. The last one of these I played was Wii. Drifting feels so bad and out of my control, I can't hug corners like I used to. Was drifting analogue previously and now it's a binary on/off thing? I don't know why I'm doing so bad at this. Also motion controls suck now the gyros are way too sensitive

>>714501076
You shouldn't be playing with motion controls.

OH N-

>>714501287
But it gave me way more precision on MK Wii. It was way better than tapping the d-pad or using the nunchuk's analog stick. I always assumed the pros had to be using tilt controls

The time trials have some of the sickest shortcuts in the series
Rally routes require zero skill
It's a confused kinda game

>>714498330 (OP)
why is it online bullshit aside?
Mkw is easily the most sweaty mario kart yet with the players.

>>714501076
You probably used an inside drifting bike.
They don't exist anymore.

>>714502795
lack of options is funnelling everyone into a single mode, so people aren't playing on tournaments like in MK8DX for example.

>>714502669
First half for itemization skill 2nd half for the tech skill.
I like it.

>>714502974
What single mode?
Outside of the dedicated mk tubers tou should know knock out tour is more popular than world wides.

>>714502669
I use plenty of the time trial shortcuts in world wides

>>714499721
what an odd thing to say

>>714498330 (OP)
in terms of depth based on the driving itself yeah the wall riding, rail grinding, etc are really good.
everything else is traditional mario kart experience except you get punished alot harder being in first with the only way to maintain it to be smuggling a mushrooms or powerups you got from the back

>peach and daisy get road speed.
> rosalina gets water speed.
Fucking why?

>>714504656
personally I thought the original reason was that water speed is actually water/air speed. it'd make sense why rosalina is water speed and cloud 9/flying carpet are also water speed. but I guess no one has confirmed it through tests so its probably not true

>>714498330 (OP)
It has the exact same racing dynamics as MKWii, MK7 and MK8. It's 2½ laps of victory and ½ a lap of getting hit by a single BlueShell that can't be avoided, and watching 5 other racers enter the goal.

Mario Kart DS was still good because it was usually a private race between front-runners good at snaking, and trading places for who gets the Blue Shell. But it was even better before, where you could outsmart Red Shells and outright destroy BlueShells before getting hit.

>>714506420
Snaking sucked mechanically.

>>714505593
Apparently air speed is the exact same for everyone.

>>714504656
While water speed is still the worst.
The hidden stats are deffinitly designed with intermissions in mind are there's much more dirt roads and water there.

>>714498330 (OP)
>does it have the highest skill ceiling among Mario Karts?
Absolutely. It's filtering a lot of /v/ which is why they're so mad at it.

>>714500929
Then why can't you get 1st place online consistently?

>>714506971
Snaking was great. The only people who didn't like it sucked at it.

>>714501631
>Pushed by bullet bill
>Shrugs shoulders and starts grinding on the wall
not sure why that made me laugh so hard

>>714498330 (OP)
What's the point of VR if this game doesn't have a leaderboard?

>>714510189
Pairing you with other high vr players

>>714510012
Nah it was dogshit.

>>714498330 (OP)
sitting at the last place every lap is not skill

>>714510372
I dont want to race sweats unless my worthless internet points are documented

>>714510841
It's documented when you show up with other sweats and see thier vr

>>714510012
>Snaking was great.

Dead game.

Wario and daisy are the best
