I's the optimal time trial route. The reason it looks like it barely did anything for the player is because the players below got speed items. You can see one of them pulling ahead with a star. If the player wouldn't have used that route they would have fallen behind.

He did place well, but said placement was due to the shock dodge and the shortcut probably made no difference. Nta btw so this is not me moving the goalpost to win the argument or whatever, just making an observation.

The shortcut facilitated the item smuggle of the mega mushroom which allowed the shock dodge.

One thing bothers me is that those rail/wall tricks rarely give you a big lead because speed is fixed on rails. It’s pretty comparable to regular jumping and drifting

The driver fucks up and goes perpendicular to the track where a jump is. Without the new mechanics they would be far worse than 12th.
This is also ignoring that every other player has access to the same tricks, doing their own thing and making their own line instead of following the exact same line or following some arrows

Nintendo got rid of that in World, it's impossible to dodge the blue shell through iframes
Nintendo made it so that the explosion of the blue shell is unique in that it always hits you no matter what previous state you're in, so if you get hit by a banana or hit by a shell and get blue'd while you're still in the hurt animation, you'll get hurt again and be double fucked

Yes anon, World has tracks where there are tons of different routes you can take. The reality is grinding on rails has its own drawbacks. You're far more likely to be targeted and have no where to run. If you take the most popular shortcuts, you're going to get blown the fuck out because people are going to punish you for going the same route as them. So you need to mix the routes you take and realize grinding that rail is not a ticket to victory. It has its own risks that aren't always worth the fraction of a second it might shave off from your overall time.

Wasn't bagging overly strong in MK8 as well? So much so that they had to outright nerf it, and yet it was still the winning strategy?

The problem being in second is you're a red shield sponge for 1st place. 3rd and 4th frequently get reds, and 2nd is getting fucked by those super hard.

The best place to be is in the back in any game with strong shortcuts. Middle packers get raped by items, front place gets raped by blue shells, high placers get raped by red shells, and back placers get all the strong items.

light chars get more boosts from rails and tricks so they're preferred on tracks with those. otherwise you use bowser who's just the fastest ground speed, and try avoiding doing trick spam on those
in online you want a bit of everything which is why the blooper kart is the best. bowsers good in knock out tour if you can frontrun safetly, but no acceleration sucks with item spam recovery

Skill expression means the extent to which a person that is good at the game can actually capitalize on that skill. So for instance, in a Mario Kart track that was just a straight line, you wouldn't have much skill expression because the optimal way to drive it would be just to hold A in a straight line better than other people. Once you introduce twists and turns you're going to have to start thinking about optimal race lines. Once you add more complexity to the tracks and give players more mechanics that can aid them, if performed correctly, or fuck them over, if performed incorrectly, you've introduced a higher degree of skill expression. The argument presented in the OP is that bing bing wahoo rail jumping is a form of skill expression.
Anonymous No.714631253 >>714631305

Skill expression is when you have multiple ways, if you're skilled, of winning. Some games/characters/etc have very straightforward wincons where you have just one or two ways to play successfully and everything else is a failure. Games with high skill expression give you multiple ways to skin a cat.

Rail jumping is a form of skill expression. If you've played World, you'd understand how volatile rail grinding and jumps can be. You don't just immediately magnetize to the rails like a Smash 4/Ultimate characters does to the ledge. It's more like Smash 64 where if you don't precisely hit that ledge you just miss it and die.

Not only that, but the rails do add a large degree of skill expression since they're often times faster than taking tight turns on the road, but you can't get back on when you fall off, you can be bumped off by anyone else who takes the rails, and items will follow the rails basically turning them into shell magnets. They add a large degree of risk/reward to racing and are fairly difficult themselves (depending on the stage of course).

Yeah, that's the point of multiplayer. Optimal paths are fine and all, but you've got to weigh the risks of taking them and getting hit by items leaving you in a worse spot than before. You also don't get item boxes on optimal paths leading to you getting being at a huge disadvantage.

There are times when its faster, but mainly when it doubles as a shortcut. Which ties into the big complaint about intermissions, the track doesn't turn enough for there to be cuts like this. While still having massive cuts that use golden mushrooms that enable bagging.

That's why it's important to know track layouts. A lot of times the rails/walls are actually faster. It all depends on your gameplan. Sometimes even the slower rails end up being faster if you avoid the pack and still get items.

Unfortunate but expected. I genuinely think Nintendo wanted MKW to hard-carry Switch 2's dogshit launch and speculate they were banking hard off 8's good will (sales).
