Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

Some players don't have the skills to unlock the Expert Staff Ghosts though, but I guess that's a moot point, since if the player isn't skilled enough to unlock the Expert Staff Ghosts, he/she will have it very rough in the higher engine class GPs as well.

Still haven't unlocked Baby Luigi in MKW. Stupid expert staff ghosts.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I can beat the grand prix's and got gold/3-star rank easily.

The expert staff ghosts we're a huge pain in the ass and I only beat 1/4 of them IIRC

The unlocking criteria is fine as it is, it's not like it will make/break the game. I can still attempt the time trials when I feel like I want to test myself.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

It's still better than MK7's unlock system, with all of them in 150cc for each cup.

Okay, I have to agree with that. They gave absolutely no incentive to play 50cc or 100cc.

50cc is too slow and boring. 150cc is fast and active. Mirror is same as 150cc but mirrored.

Here's the new video footage of a Mii racing
Feel free to comment about Mii's voice

#Valid YouTube Link#

Good thing it's not the MK7 voice.
They reused the MKW voice but with a different pitch.

Not all too bad I guess, I have to hear other colors' voices still. Primarily red.

It sure is better than the jipjops from 7.

I wonder if there are any alternate Mii costumes though.

The purpose of 50cc and 100cc are for training the controls.

And unlocking characters (besides MK7), lower difficulties for not-so-good players, and getting 3 stars on everything.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

A user from Mariokartwii.com has confirmed that certain characters may have different stat distributions, regardless of their weight class. He used Wario and Roy Koopa as an example, but even with the stat differences, the stat total is exactly the same between them.

Looks like Wario isn't too good...
Roy is one of my favourites, so I'm glad he's better (for what I like). :D
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

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. But you're right about Metal Mario, I actually see Lakitu more than him online.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

By the way, I did spot an anomaly with the stat values. You know how in Mario Kart 7, the best possible stat value to get is 5.5/6? It seems that in Mario Kart 8, a single stat can go higher than that.

After looking at Wario's stats, if my stat inputs are right on the money, combining the Mach 8 with the Slick wheels would give Wario a 23/24 speed combo. In terms of the lowest possible stat values, it seems that Wario's Grip stat goes as low as 4/24, but I don't know if Grip can go as low as 3/24, or 0.75/6.

What's "grip"?
Click to expand...

I think that's the vehicle's traction. If it's anything like with Mario Kart 7's Off-Road, the Grip stat determines how well the vehicle sticks to the road. A higher Grip rating would mean that the vehicle hardly ever skids, but if it's too low, the combo will be prone to skidding a lot.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I see. In the direct, there was also a stat called "cornering". Is that just handling or a different stat altogether?

You mustn't have played much, or never got anywhere near the high rankings.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I haven't played in a year or so, ever since my Wii bricked and internet access stopped being an option.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I agree on the Funky Kong one, but I've always found I was faster using Lakitu in MK7 than Metal Mario.

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