Thread 723716949

MK is a game where you baisically always move at top speed without items' interference, so acceleration is just a "how bad you are against items" stat. Which would be appropriate if heavies were appropriately faster in a vaccuum of Time Trial, but the last time a heavyweight was definitively faster than anything else was in Super Circuit, every other game they are either largely balanced with the rest or outright bad. How about we standardize acceleration? Nothing good comes from low accel, it just makes playing big guys frustrating.

>>723716949 (OP)
I think the coin system fucked with the stat

>>723716949 (OP)
Big guys can knock people off the stage can't they? There has to be some downside.

>>723719298
I think that’d make the game more interesting

what are you talking about heavies always mog time trials?

Is rosalina still a heavy?

Haven't big guys been the meta since Wii because of how unimportant acceleration is, for you?

>>723720651
is this baneposting?

imagine caring about meta stats in fucking Mario Kart
really any game for that matter but especially MK

I really hope they add k rool to mario kart world soon

>>723719298
The tracks are WAY too wide for weight stat to matter for battering.

Anyone in here have mario kart world?

>>723720532
There need to more female heavies

>>723716949 (OP)
its kinda funny that power characters are opposites in sonic. they recover faster but are slower, which in hindsight makes more sense. like why would a giant turtle get more fucked up by items than a baby?

>>723721528
*be more

>>723716949 (OP)
If Mario Kart actually encouraged interesting and aggressive but interactive item play, heavies having that advantage would be fun. Unfortunately, Mario Kart sucks ass.
Ring Racers does the concept of heavies way better.

>>723720774
People just want to have fun with their preferred character and they can’t if their stats suck

>>723721557
The kart has a lot more weight to move

Daisy should be a heavy

>>723721253
Yeah but I couldn't get into it. Not even kidding, I like sonic racing cross worlds better. Maybe I just liked 8 better and SR is more like it

>>723723379
Funnily enough, I’m the opposite, loving mario kart world but find crossworlds pretty boring

>>723721253
Yeah, I’m enjoying it a ton but hoping we get some dlc soon

>>723719196
Why did they just randomly bring back the coin system after not using it since the original game?

How would you rank the mario karts?

>>723722010
>Ring racers
lol, lmao even

>>723724538
I'm not laughing, I'm serious. At least after 2.4, anyways. Heavies are dogshit in 2.3.

>>723720532
She’s a big gal

>>723716949 (OP)
You know, despite him not even being my favorite character, I always seem inclined to main bowser in Mario kart and smash

>>723720909
>>723723901
They gotta be doing some dk dlc

>>723719298
The only time weight ever actually did anything cool was mario kart wii

>>723725893
I forget, what did it do there?

>>723720532
God, I love wamu

>>723723503
He’s just cool like that

>>723716949 (OP)
Maybe just make acceleration faster all around?

>>723720375
Not OP but it’d be nice if they could do well in modes other than time trials

>>723724528
My Favorite > The Rest (in any particular order) > Super Circuit

Is anyone else confused as to why they’ve never done double karts again?

>>723727659
Funny how everyone just agrees super circuit is the worst

>>723728163
Just more super Mario kart without the benefit of being super Mario kart

>>723727659
>>723728163
But Super Circuit is the best. It's the most racing-focused MK, and has the best Rainbow Road. And the best Rainbow Road theme. And instead of "here's your light, here's your fat", every character actually has unique stats not shared with anyone- for example, Mario and Luigi are the same speed and weight but M is grippy and L is drifty, like they should be.

>>723728893
>the best Rainbow Road
You mean 7?

>>723728958
any rainbow road you can't fall off of is shit

>>723728893
I will give it this, it was the first portable mario kart and the first mario kart in general to include retro tracks

I like pauline more than rosa or peach, I wish there was more art of her

>>723729439
Same here

>>723729439
Have some pauline, then

I wonder if there’s a way to mod mkw’s parkour into previous titles

>>723724940
for you

>>723730590
Kek

Why stop at acceleration? Lets just remove stats from characters so people can pick based on their favorites without worrying if it will hurt them or make them look like a try hard. Stats can be tied to vehicles, which makes more sense anyway.

>>723727828
Being able to carry two items is bad enough, but being able to switch them when swapping drivers would make bagging way worse. You can get your power item and then use the other item slot to catch back up. At least with current bagging you have to make a strong come back all at once at the end or hope there is enough chaos in the pack to let you smuggle your items forward without using them.

>>723731547
I can't believe they removed item dragging in 8 to make it more interactive, and then not only brought it back in DX but also added a second item to completely wreck the item game.

>>723731547
>Stats can be tied to vehicles
This also sucks though, there'll always be vehicles that you like the look of but then have awful stats that don't match your gameplay style
Stats should just be a custom point distribution, you have a small limited amount of points, and spend points increasing stats and decreasing stats gives you more points back

>>723735106
Good point. It might look a bit awkward if you make one of the larger vehicles have really high handling and acceleration, but I'd still be ok going with your suggestion.

>>723735106
but then why have stats at all, just give everyone the same stats, everyone will pick the meta build anyway
