I watched MKwii and that game is really bad by comparison. DS is a pure expression of skill while wii is a bunch of dumb gimmicks most of which were so bad they didn't even make the cut in Mk8 delux. Oh and everyone plays the same kart and character because the stats are so unbalanced. Even in the upper echelons of DS you have dry bones yoshi egg, bowser tank, waluigi standard, and ROB gyro kart to keep it fresh. Mk8 does a good job balancing each of the series into one package. It's always a good time no matter which MK is your go to.

Essentially, it’s a shroomless time trial* mindset. The asterisk was intentional. I agree acceleration is pretty crucial if you’re taking hits a lot for doing a challenge like this. I can tell you wanted to use items so badly at certain points, even on the high placement races. It’s hard not to do certain habits when you’re playing a game for so long. Good job!

I had an idea! Similar to your cute combos video, what if you did a video about the *best color-coordinated combos?* Mine is Waluigi/Circuit Special/Cyber Slick/Wario Wing, same as the fastest combo but with Waluigi instead of Dry Bowser. Only 1 point less speed, which is only a 10% decrease from Dry Bowser, but with +1 handling which is a 100% increase, and it goes from 0 to 1 in both acceleration and mini-turbo which math says is an infinite% increase, so according to my very real very smart math Waluigi should be way better on this combo! I'm definitely not biased because he's my favorite character under the entire Nintendo brand! Also purple is just an awesome color

One thing I think these matches highlight is the value of intentionally going for sub-optimal mix-ups with your lines when there are lots of enemies around. Taking only the best lines has 2 negatives that can work against you: 1. it tells opponents exactly where you will be and when, which allows them to time their item usage for a perfect hit at the perfect time. 2. the most optimal route is usually the most *popular* route, which means A LOT of things, but in general, it means a higher chance of getting screwed over by one of the MANY players who already know the optimal path. So actually, sometimes choosing "sub-optimal" options can actually save you from a bigger mishap while screwing over another player instead.

I find at a low level you win from just being pretty efficient with items or racing pretty well. At a higher level you need something of both, then surprisingly at higher still levels racing lines can take you far because when everyone is effective with items the chaos of the pack takes a bigger mental load to process and people can get sloppier. Plus not worrying about item boxes is one fewer distraction from focusing on racing lines. (But obviously at the highest levels of try hard no mistakes, perfect with items and great racing lines are all necessary for a chance to win).

i think a true "just skill" lobby would be like, only single greens and single mushrooms, as i think those are the two most skill dependent and versatile items. theres a lot of items where the biggest skill needed is simply "when do i throw this"
@shybandit521
11 ай бұрын
I could also see an argument for coin, boomerang, and golden mushrooms. I say coin because the effect of coin only comes into play with good racing, but the usage of the item itself doesn't force the player to think all that much they just hit button have coins, so it's close to "very skill based" but not completely there. Boomerang is basically triple greens but even harder to properly utilize since no barrier around you to body check people with and no bounces for random lucky hits, as well as not causing a full flip but only a severe spin. Very skill based but still maybe not at the "just skill" level. Golden mush I'd say because while similar in general function of "long continuous burst of speed" like bullet bill or star, the fact that it doesn't provide invulnerability, increased steering, or a hitbox, means it much more relies on the driving skill of the user. I say Golden Mush over Triple Mushrooms because you cannot save the second and third boosts for later and take shortcuts throughout an entire track, you just get one long shortcut and a little bit more speed after that.

Imagine if they never added items to mario kart. It would definitely change into a pure skill game rather then a skill/luck game. It would be insane, as same characters would also be quite good, as they are nerferd from their large hit boxes, but without that, they could be used quite well. I think that a lot of tracks would be kinds dumb, as their shortcuts would be removed, which is another thing.

Based on this test and your other videos, you've shown that items are secondary to map & shortcut knowledge. In fact, I would say that the most important items is the mushroom as it typically opens up additional shortcuts and provides defence against blue shells.
