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.

It does depend on your opponents. At times, online racing can be even more annoying than racing against mere CPUs.

I will warn you that you should never race 1-on-1, since if you're the one who's losing, you'll almost never get anything that can offer you a comeback.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

If you use a lightweight, you won't stand a chance against the higher VRs in online

Such a freaking pity.............but I don't use online so ---- that.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I finally got gold on all cups!

And I figured out my problem with anyone except Wario and such. I wasn't drifting. :-[

That being said, I now race effectively with everyone, so I can't pick a main.

Adding on to what MnSG said, at least you know that item luck is probably messing half of your opponents up too.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I got the game, and I must say, I don't get the coin item as often as other people do. In fact, I only got it, like, twice so far while in first place, and I've played each cup twice.

Also, Pink Gold Peach is fantastic. I'm not even kidding. She's one of my mains now.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Don't worry. Play the game more and you'll realize how ----ing common this stupid coin is. I got this damn item like 5 times in a row, the only item I received even in all items mode.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Overall, this game is more acceleration reliant, because of the Coin item. However, not everyone totally agrees with this, as you'll still encounter players who use low accelerating combos to win.

Item luck tends to heavily determine if your combo will succeed or not, and if you're using any low accelerators, you pretty much need to have a flawless race to win (something that's usually impossible to accomplish). Higher accelerators tend to recover more easily, but you'd have to use the heavier characters if you want average speed, and a tolerable acceleration stat.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

My experience with online is either staying in 1st for the entire race, or getting a bunch of items up the ass and getting like 7th.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Good combinations, guys? I use Rosalina and Daisy quite often, and Pink Gold Peach as well. None of my combinations seem to be the best combinations to being out the best in these characters.

Oh yeah, and 150cc can go to hell. Peach and Luigi want me dead.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

It's quite amazing how this game can make Rosalina's crown look so shiny at certain tracks.
