Re: Mario Kart 8

---- you Nintendo and your stupid character specific stat bonuses

Technically, they're NOT stat bonuses. If you look closely, the stat boosts are off-set by stat drops, keeping the stat totals exactly alike.

You say that but I barely ever came across Funky Kongs when I played online. Or Metal Mario's in MK7.

I don't consider one of them for every match on average as a lot, but I didn't even get that.

You're lucky, every online match I played usually had at least 5 Funky Kongs.

Yeah, how dare they actually use a good character and try to win.

Maybe but it makes the game boring if the same character is overused.

Especially if it's like Mii Tennis Open.

No one's forcing you to play as them. The point of the game is to win the race. If those characters are gonna give them a better shot at winning, why not play as that character?

Fine then let's make a game with only one character so everything is balanced....
Not everyone play for winning.

But some people are. Can you blame them for that?

Re: Mario Kart 8

But considering the way the items operate in this game, neglecting acceleration may be a bad move. It's always possible to make a combo with manageable speed and acceleration, though that would mean using combos such as the Sport Bike and Roller wheels, along with a glider that boosts acceleration. Of course, the grip stat is going to take a plummet.

Much like if you're using Slick tires/tyres/wheels. I tried using it in Kalamari Desert and the grip is bad.

Grip is always bad on Kalimari Desert.

So apparently Mirror Mode is unlocked from the very start of the game, according to GX.

GX are not Nintendo. Therefore potentially lying.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Yeah and all the other MK8 news is also potentially just Nintendo trolling us, and the real game hasn't even been revealed yet.

Re: Mario Kart 8

I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't lie to us.
