Seriously, what the fuck were they thinking? Your placement is totally irrelevant for 95% of the race

Did it really take you 12 games to realize mario kart has catch up mechanics?

dude it's kids party game. have you never played mario kart before

Isn't this normal for Mario Kart? The game is made for kids under 10.

exactly what percentage of people who buy games do you think participate in "the discourse" surrounding them?

>>714673272 (OP)
Yes, everyone knows what Mario Kart is you retarded faggot. They know and they buy it.

>>714673337
No but you'd expect after 12 games and the previous game being infamous for the level and effectiveness of sandbagging that they would address it instead of doubling down.

>>714673272 (OP)
People say the game is "for kids", but even children want to experience a level of progression for their skill level. They actively enjoy games like Fortnite after all.
You want to say the game is "for toddlers" if you're implying otherwise.

>>714673696
Address what? This is feature of Mario Kart. Go back to gay Turismo or fagza.

lmao

I too have to handicap myself to give plebs a chance.

>>714673272 (OP)
based, baggers should get the rope

>>714673272 (OP)
Of course kids are going to ignore the objective and fuck around. Just ignore them and take the free wins

>>714673696
Sorta like nintendo doesn’t give a rat’s ass about ‘competitive’ mario kart.

"competitive" Mario Kart lol

It's as if bagging actually takes skill or something...

>>714673272 (OP)
Yeah it's a karts game. Go play something else if you want serious racing

>>714673865
Are you fucking retarded? If you don't even know what the context of the thread is you shouldn't be here. This shit isn't hard to understand.

>>714674095
They don't give a rat's ass period. They see people fucking around at the starting line to try and get overpowered items to cut through 90% of their crappy intermissions and the first thing they "fix" is destroying the random button.

Nobody cares about competitive Mario Kart... and it's because of SHIT LIKE THIS

Make the game GOOD for EVERYONE

This is why gaming will never be in the Olympics.

No, just killed any dignity that tendies had left for autistically min max a game for 5 year old

>>714674345
>autistically min max
I fucking hate that this sort of shit is the standard for anything and everything. I wonder where it all came from.

>No but I expected them to address a feature they intentionally put in place so everyone can have a balanced fun time

Soulsfags with their build autism, especially in their joke of a PvP system

That doesn't work in knockout tour
>green shell
kek

>>714674443
Yeah I remember a lot of that happening with giant dad and shit like that, but now it's permeating everything. Even fucking wargames like Warhammer or Bolt Action have these meta slaves who optimize the fun out of what's supposed to be a fun hobby. It's bad all around.

Put a fresh kid to play against a crash team racing average online autist and call me when the kid will be able to win a single race

Mario Kart was never intended to be played "professionally"

>People are pretending getting Mario Kart'd is new
That Daisy gif is older than you

>>714673272 (OP)
which devs left nintendo between the gamecube and wii that made them antifun? i will never forgive them for brawl and every game since then.

>>714674649
>fresh kid
Of course a fresh kid wouldn't. But a kid who plays every hour after school would be able to beat the average wagie adult easily.

>Your placement is totally irrelevant for 95% of the race
>here's a video showing you can win based on your placement

>>714673272 (OP)
I played the demo in a store. You can just press B without touching analog stick and the game will steer for you. That's quite dumb.

>>714674423
The intention of the feature was giving people that are behind stronger items to gain ground.

Do you think the intention of the feature is that good players do poorly on purpose for crucial points in the race to gain more ground than you ever could just driving well?

>>714674558
>can run on low end laptops
At like 10 frames per second. I don't know what the did, but for some reason it runs like crap. SRB2Kart ran fine, so I don't know how did they fuck this up.

No one said you had to keep holding A the entire time. That's your own preconception of a race. If you lose to this, it's your own midwit way of thinking that held you back.

>>714674846
You have the assist turned on, has been there since 7 I think

>>714673272 (OP)
Seems they're having fun. That means they won.

>tryharding mario kart
worse than smashfags

>>714673272 (OP)
What's this supposed to prove? The players are acing like retards and they don't even get rewarded for it.

>>714674846
Turn off assisted steering retard

>>714675624
It's a KIOSK DEMO. I can't.

>>714675726
Can you select your character? Because all you have to do is push X on the character select screen

>>714675976
Huh, I didn't know that.

>>714676237
It literally tells you on screen "X Setting/Controller" while selecting a kart, so unfortunately you are indeed a retard
