Re: Mario Kart 8
Someone at the Mario Kart Wii forums did post this info. It seems that the acceleration tier rankings go as follows...
A: 5 - 5.75
B: 4 - 4.75
C: 3 - 3.75
D: 2 - 2.75
E: 1 - 1.75
However, there may have been reports of some acceleration differences between 1, 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75, along with 5, 5.25, 5.5, and 5.75.
Of course, the tier system can be rather questionable for certain combos, since the speed stat differences may play a factor if the acceleration stats are the same.
In fact, you might find that the Roller, Azure Roller, and Button wheels are more efficient than the Wood, Sponge, and Cushion wheels, especially once you look at the hidden stats. For an example...

Re: Mario Kart 8

for some reason i'm struggling to even get 1st in one race
i can't pass the cups anymore i just feel like i'm getting attacked by the ai and now matter how the race goes it always comes down to the last 5 seconds of it

Re: Mario Kart 8
This is 150cc and over right?
I don't really have a strategy of this other than get an early lead, get a good defensive item against red shells, and pray...honestly.

Re: Mario Kart 8
like, i really want to like this game, but the fact that its ai is so awful kills it for me. is it just as bad online?
i think a big problem is that the shells are faster and larger and the roads are smaller. so green shells cover a lot of ground in a short timespan. also, that there are 12 drivers in such a small lane, it's hard to stay ahead (especially with that piranha plant item... ugh)
yeah. the ai is basically absent in 50cc and isn't really too bad in 100ccBaby Luigi said:

Re: Mario Kart 8
Well once you pull ahead of everything, the AI doesn't rubberband too harshly. We and my sister conquered 150cc this way: we both got huge leads over the AI.

Re: Mario Kart 8
150cc is more like "can you take it up the ass before you've had enough mode" instead of actually trying to be a fun challenge. I swear the bananas and green shells have homing capabilities and it's the reason I got burned out of this game rather quickly. Even if you have a good lead, something retarded like getting lightninged over a pit, blue shelled, or red-shelled while you have a coin item happens too often. I've been fucked over too many times in the last rap of a race for it to be fun.

Re: Mario Kart 8
So that brings me to my other question, is online mode not as infuriating to play in? I haven't tried it yet, but if I can actually play it without feeling like the game is personally out to screw me over, there might be some redeeming value in this game.
Yeah, this is my problem. Especially with the number of flying portions and jumps in this game, plus the ability for red shells to travel in the air apparently, makes this really hard, because often i will be hit before/during a big jump and then lose a huge lead. I start playing and then just decided to play Wind Waker instead because it's too frustrating.Magolor said:

I'm glad this is out of the way because I'm willing not touching this crap again.
This *bleep* happens to me the most in the stupid Banana Cup.Magolor said:
