I make my ride look colour-coordinated and sometimes I activate pimp mode with the Badwagon.
Which I can never find good combos with.

Re: Mario Kart 8
Heh, I'm the ultimative stats whore then.
Because if I can't drive it well enough it's out, meaning that every single quad and kart of mk8 is auto-eliminated for me.
BIKES FTW.

I like the Flame Rider, it looks so cool. When I go online, I use Circuit Special.

Re: Mario Kart 8
It's sad knowing that the Biddybuggy, Landship, and Mr. Scooty are often neglected, simply because of their lower ground speed stats. I try to at least give them some attention, though it doesn't exactly help when you've got faster combos trying to run you down.
On the other hand, I have seen some very good lightweight users, so it's more the player who's using the combo, instead of the combo itself.

Re: Mario Kart 8
I main Rosalina with acceleration and handling, because speed doesn't matter against acceleration.
Of course, I have some speed, but not as much as acceleration. I used to have this combo where speed and acceleration were tied, best thing ever.

Re: Mario Kart 8
I was using Biddybuggy before but I realize it's inferior to speedy karts. Having great acceleration is pointless because the bad item distribution won't let you recover. Plus you will be pushed by everyone, weight has been so much buffed.
You better take a speed kart to increase your chances to survive the beginning.

Re: Mario Kart 8
The thing with speedy karts is that they mostly don't have good handling. I need good handling to make inside drifts that help me stay in at least 3rd.
Of course, I mainly use Rosalina so weight is never a problem in anything I do...
I don't see it's inferiority. When I use acceleration, I often zip my way through everyone and just front-run for a while. In online mode, I have to be tricky so no one sees my place.Cirdec said:

Re: Mario Kart 8
The only problem with high speed combos is that if they get item spammed on, they can't recover as quickly as the high accelerators. They might be able to frontrun more easily, but that does require them to not take a hit at all.
Fortunately, you can have 4.75 speed and 3 acceleration at the same time, so you could always resort to average acceleration if you must.
In the end, however, item luck tends to be the deciding factor, as even the fastest combos do not guarantee victory; trust me when I say that there are some very good lightweight users out there.

Re: Mario Kart 8
Once I had the same amount of speed, acceleration, and weight, with a huge amount of handling.
Can't remember the combination, though.
Yeah!

Re: Mario Kart 8
I don't deny it, but heavyweights are just better than lightweights. Here is an example showing that.
Max speed Baby Mario:
Speed 3.25/6
Acceleration 3/6
Weight 2.5/6
Handling 4.75/6
Traction 2.5/6
Max acceleration Bowser:
Speed 3.5/6
Acceleration 4.25/6
Weight 3.75/6
Handling 3/6
Traction 2.75/6
Bowser is better than Baby Mario at every stat except handling, and you don't even need that much handling.

Re: Mario Kart 8
Well, inside drifting allows you to cut of most of the track. Don't you need more handling to stay as close as possible? That's just the way I see it.Cirdec said:

Re: Mario Kart 8
That doesn't change the fact that even if I use someone like Morton, I may still find myself losing to someone who's using Koopa Troopa. Heck, there were some races where I couldn't even outspeed a Yoshi user with Morton, and I was using a 4.75 speed combo; Yoshi can't even go higher than 4.25 speed.
To go even further, there have been times where I've used Rosalina, and yet some Lemmy users have given me a run for my money.

Re: Mario Kart 8
Is it true that people are only using heavy-weights now?
I don't have the game, and that's why I'm asking this.
