>>375771930
I mentioned 100cc because it's forced on you if you play in regular online.

If chaos is fun to u then sure, more power to you
But why lock the only unlockable character behind a mode that will just make 99% of people hate the game?

>>375771553
>How is it normal that you have to brake to almost a full stop to turn

I dunno OP why don't you test that with a car in real life and tell us how that goes.

150cc is too slow and boring. I'll grant that it would be better if the courses were designed with 200cc in mind but it's still the most fun way to play the game.

I've been obsessed with 200 since it came out 2 years ago. I don't know why anyone says you need to break. Whenever my friends and I play 200, we always have a mix of bikes and karts and I never see anyone breaking. You guys really need to learn how to drift, for a bunch of those sharp turns where you'd normally break you should just start drifting earlier.
Once you get the hang of it there's no going back.

I dunno the break being maybe needed instead of completely useless is nice

>>375771553
git gud
Also 200cc is a meme mode. 150cc is standard speed, as >>375771930 said. Not saying 200cc is bad, it just shouldn't be your default speed, especially if you haven't played mk8 before

but wasn't 200c shit in the wii u version too

>>375771932
holy shit you're retarded if you are stopping full before a turn. You do know you can brake mid drift allowing your car to make sharper turns and your line should be starting from the outside and ending in?

>>375772210
Courses with nice wide turns, spaced far enough apart work very well with 200CC. I had fun in those.

>>375772282
How are you not gonna brake in Yoshi's circuit? Not wide enough. You'll get off track.

>>375772325
I'm obviously drift braking man. It's just shit when you have to do it constantly over and over when the course has 5 sharp turns one after the other.

>Using brake
>Not perpetually drifting and changing directions

Enjoy slowing down

>>375772529
We just never play maps like that, music park, and others with really tight corners. Our group just unanimously hates those maps anyway.

>>375772529
Sorry anon but it sounds like you just suck at the game

>>375772648
Not every map allows you to achieve this.

I like 200cc since it gives you a completely different experience after you clear everything, having to take different approaches to tracks you had mastered was fun. Dragon track cup was a pain to 3star though.

>>375771553

Mario Kart has been mobile game tier for a while bud.

are retards like OP actually trying to play mariokart competitively? it's just a silly party game to play with friends, nothing more nothing less.

>>375771553
I haven't played a mario kart since 64 and find 200cc the most fun by far. I got gold in all the cups and went to play 150cc but now it's just too slow, it feels like easy mode.

>I have to use the break button!
yeah, that's what it's there for. you can easily do the whole course without hitting a wall or falling off by managing break, acceleration and sliding.

>>375771553
I'm on the fence with buying this game. Didn't get it when it was on Wii U. Are the items really bad about punishing players for being good?

drift + brake

>>375773391
No, in fact its item balance is far better than the average mariokart game.

>>375773391
After playing MK Wii it almost feels like the items are off.

>>375773391
It's fine online. A.I. are cheap as shit though.

>>375772786
im at 5k points online right now. I am just mad because I want to unlock gold mario and I have to put up with this shit mode.

>>375773391
Buy it, it's fun. Items are the worst part of it, triple red shells are way more common than they're supposed to be. 2nd and 3rd place get them often, it should be a 7th place and below item.
Also, there is no way to avoid red shells by using the terrain/walls like you could in MK Wii. If you see a red shell coming, you will 100% get hit by it.

>>375773891
>Also, there is no way to avoid red shells by using the terrain/walls like you could in MK Wii. If you see a red shell coming, you will 100% get hit by it.
This is false, the red shells can hit obstacles on the track, resulting in a miss. They'll also miss you if you go off a ramp or gliding section or similar.

>>375772747
>we're so good at 200cc we never even have to brake
>oh we also never pick tracks where you have to brake

>>375773391
Double-items in MK8D has singlehandedly fixed this, it's easy to get a CYA item or even a horn now.

>>375771553

200cc is actually a mode that makes you think about how you take turns. They added in the ability to brake and continue a drift for a reason

>>375774137
that is
>IF
there are obstacles on the track. More often than not, there are no obstacles.

You can't just do a sharp turn and hug the wall to make the red shell break on the wall behind you, or go in front of a pillar and have the red shell break like you could on MK Wii.

>>375771828
agreed

>>375773891
As a kind of salty f-zero fan that doesn't like items, you are not making a good sales pitch.

>>375774137
Also, nope. Red shells will follow you and hit you mid-air and make you fall to the bottomless pit.

>>375774285
It's 4 or 5 maps tops.
Music park

I can easily complete wario stadium and snes rainbow road on 200cc.

>>375771553
I played and triple gold starred all 200CC cups on the Wii U version, and did some with a top speed build, WITHOUT braking ONCE the whole time. I suggest you git gud. Or do better. Or stop being a cowardly scrub and learn the tracks.

I don't even have a switch, but I remember baiting shells on Wii U into walls by drifting near the edges. Your fucked near a dropoff though. Regardless, there's like a 70% chance you have an item to block it with if you aren't leading the pack. If you are leading the pack, that's life nigga.

If you don't have good emotional control, forget about this game. You'll be in 2nd place and have to hold on to your red shell because the guy in 3rd will have triple red shell. Your only hope to stay in second place is that the guy in 3rd gets fucked by the OP items. This is the usual situation:

>Guy in 1st is very far ahead because he got lucky with the RNG in the first wave of items, he did not get hit.
>Guys in 2nd and 3rd competing until one of them gets hit; 2nd guy gets far ahead of the pack as well
>3rd-12th place = a big pack of chaos with non stop item fights

>>375772282
This guy gets it. 200CC is my favorite mode, because I love drifting, and 200CC is drift early or die mode.

>not specializing your car build so that you don't need to brake and just drift through everything
Sounds like someone needs to git gud

But I get what you're saying, the tracks aren't designed for that kind of FAST, and the AI knows it, and that's why they're so shit at it

Mario Kart 8 was a family come together thing for me and my brothers, so we always competed in 200cc. And I can tell you this, builds that were viable in 150cc may not be viable in 200cc. You can't min/max speed to win anymore and lightweights move too slow, you need to start looking alternatives.

Personally, I go for light heavyweight (DK, Roy or Waluigi) with the city tripper and an accel parachute. Can't remember my wheels though.

Also, learn to NOT boost with a drift and also learn to double drift, as in drift to another drift without boosting. Drift boosts are still needed to get ahead, but 200cc needs much more concentration and control from the players

>>375773231
MK Wii was a good competitive game. FUCK you.

>>375774364
>You can't just do a sharp turn and hug the wall to make the red shell break on the wall behind you
You actually can, if you do a sharp inside turn the shell can break on the inside of the turn and miss, I've done it before.
>>375774452
no, they don't. They may hit you at the edge, but they won't follow you into the air, they fall down.

Half the cups in 200CC I beat with Morton top speed build, and only the other half I had to use a acceleration build. And no I didn't hit walls, get good scrub. I can't fucking believe there are people on /v/ so bad that they feel they can't beat 200CC without braking. That's pathetic, even I had to switch to a better build on some cups, but even then I never had to brake.

especially with blue shells fucking you right up the ass, 200cc is impossible to win

>>375776725
Just remember, the tracks weren't made for 200cc, so you'll end up jumping a lot higher than you did at 150cc.

>>375775846
whats so bad about baby park

200cc actually makes the game challenging. 150cc is literally 'see turn, start drift'. 200cc you have to know the tracks, drift early, and actually have to use the break on occasion in case something goes awry.

If you prefer 150cc over 200cc you are a literal casual.

Items are balanced better in MK8D. Front runners have double the chance of defense. Nintendo placed double boxes in strategic locations so you'll have to make a trade off between speed and defense.

>Toward the end of the GameCube era, Nintendo lost confidence in their own fans. Nintendo was losing market share with each new console launched.

Pride turned to arrogance. Ugly arrogance. Nintendo started to develop contempt for the gaming community. They felt as if they were being betrayed by the gamers they created. The marketing teams started to look at gamer focused strategies with ire and spite. says Mercury. The hardcore Nintendo audience was equally cast aside. Why bother? Theyre going to buy anything we put out anyway.

Almost every GCN sequel was a major departure from series form in some way. Wind Waker's major theme is literally letting go of the past and moving on to new things.

How did fans respond? By throwing a fit, and demanding what they already had. The next Zelda was a reskinned Ocarina and Mario Kart went back to "normal." It's around this time Nintendo started to hardcore nostalgia pander as well.

Items are unfair as they currently are because they don't work as intended. When you get hit by a red shell, you should be punished an amount equal to that.

But the density of items and severity of how much they slow you down in MK8 means it's not as simple as that. Being in 2nd and getting hit by a red shell doesn't just mean falling back to 4th or 5th. It means being stopped and then hit by another three more items before you actually leave hitstun, dropping you all the way back to 10th.

>But it's a party game, the items equalize players, it's not competitive.
Except items fail to do this because anyone who has spent any reasonable amount of time with online MK8 can tell you many races are decided on the very first set of item boxes. Whoever makes it out of that RNG roll in first and with a protective item is extremely likely to win the race because the player in first only has to protect from red shells at most, while the players second through fourth are fighting off the clusterfuck of items the folks in fifth through seventh are throwing at them.

I've literally just stopped playing an online race where exactly this happened. I took first on the first turn, and got a banana as an item. Thanks to its protection I maintained momentum while the guy in second couldn't get anywhere fucking near me because he kept getting hit by red shells. The race ended with my a quarter of a lap ahead of the fuckfest that was 2nd through 7th.

As they are in MK8, items punish way too much while also failing to equalize the playing board like they're intended to, ultimately resulting in a mechanic that only serves to weaken the core racing by making it a game of "Who gets a good roll of RNG out of the first set of item boxes".

Right on point, upvoted

>>375779314
I agree that the items aren't aggressive enough for first place. MK8/D is awful about letting you take an early lead and keep it. Part of the problem is that penalties have been nerfed due to complaints about item spam but the game needs the harsh penalties. Lakitu recovers you instantly instead of letting you free fall for several seconds. You recover from shells almost instantly. There are boost pads fucking everywhere so you can always instantly get back to top speed (This also breaks balance to favor heavily speed over acceleration).

There need to be more items specifically designed to bork first place. Maybe a Dizzy from Yoshis island that shows up in places 2-5 and only affects players in front of you and reverses your controls, or an item that halves 1st players speed, etc

>>375774787

If I weren't in an MK8 thread, I would have believed you were discussing Sonic All Star Racing since it suffers from the exact same issues. Except that game has no real Blue Shell

You are pretty bad if you can't beat 200cc. It even shows you how to break while drifting in the info secrion AND it tells you that breaking properly is important on the description for 200cc. If you EVER have to stop entirely, you fucked up hard.

The only advice I can give for 200cc is go lightweight and get as much handling/traction as possible. 200cc is so goddamn fast that it doesn't matter how much you tank your speed stat you will still fly around like sanic.

If /v/eekend is anything to go by, lot of players in 150cc games were taking routes (like the walls on N64 Toad Turnpike, the wall on Toad Harbor, not doing the jump off route on RR8, not taking the left most route on N64 Yoshi Valley, the water route in GCN Sherbet, the 'secret left exit' at the end of Wii Wario Gold Mine, etc.) and then wonder why they constantly never win.
They don't win, and they'll just always complain until they fucking get some skill.
They'll never win, much less win in a mode that demands a little bit more track knowledge and car handling skill.

200cc is fun as fuck really but I never expect to win

>>375784823
Fair enough. Most people shat all over his inclusion in the recent Mario and Luigi game, and I don't really care a lot for him. Rosalina and Dry Bones are my "must haves". Toadette, Bowser Junior, and the Koopalings are a good selection as well.

>Metal Mario and Gold Mario fags starting to appear more frequently

SHUT THEM DOWN

>>375784986
People weren't specifically shitting on him in paper jam. They were angry because it was extremely lazy of Nintendo to not introduce a single new character or enemy when the mario rpg games are known for being creative and weird

There's nothing wrong with including him in a kart racer where nintendo is known for using past characters from all their games as part of the roster. Plus, he was already playable in double dash and other mario spinoffs so i dont see the problem

>>375784239

>you have to brake to almost a full stop
You are doing it wrong, you have to tap the brake button to reduce your speed at turns, not full stop. Take into account that you still need to be accelerating while tapping the brake button so you don't lose your momentum.

my character went so fast, i clipped through the ferris wheel in waterpark, and in toad harbor, taking the boost jump next to the bridge always put me in the water
they really implemented this mode like shit

>>375785774
It's not.

Neither in 200 or 150.

>>375786278
Depends on your style and skill.

Do you use items as you get them? Do you usually only remember 50% or less of each course you go, or have some courses you don't remember the outlay of at all? You should go for acceleration and handling, the safest option. You can have more mistakes because you can recover from them more quickly.

Do you use items depending on what place you are in, or even save them for specific spots on the course? Do you have every course in the game memorized, to exactly what kind of drift boost is the best to use on each specific turn? Do you prepare so far ahead while in first, that it would take three blue shells for everyone else to catch up to you? If this is you, you can probably go with low handling and low acceleration for the best top speed possible, as the higher this is, the further away from the pack you can get while in first, so long as you play the course flawlessly and always guard yourself.

If you practiced 200 cc enough you wouldn't have to "come to almost a full stop" plus you can mini turbo out of your break. Quit being a fucking baby, you're begging for a "git good" comment. And you're acting as if 150 cc still isn't the standard.

Good, I hate casual eliteists like you, who act like they know shit when they clearly have no clue. The only requirement to getting 3 stars it to win against the brain dead AI. Come again when you can show mw goot tt records.

OP is still a fag though.

>You recover from shells almost instantly.
As I recall, green/red shells in MK8 stop you for far longer than shells in MKWii, both in the hit animation department and in terms of accelerating your way back into the race (remember revving up miniturbos in place?). Meanwhile blue shells only spin you out instead of making a big show of flying into the air and coming to a complete stop, they're not only more rare than in past games, but less destructive as well.

>>375796889
Yeah no...no they don't. Revisit any mkw video.

I don't think Double Dash looks bad at all but Mario Kart 8 is probably the most beautiful cartoon style game I've seen in a long time.

>Play racing sims where brakes are an essential part of controlling your car

It makes the race interesting. It's not just about who can power slide the closest to the edge now, it's about who truly has the best control going into all these turns. Who thought ahead as to their approach and what is an isn't possible.

>>375780715
Except you're dead wrong about Sonic Allstars

Because that game is heavily skill based, literally everything in it can be avoided with skill. There's almost nothing in it that fucks you over that can't be avoided or mitigated.

This, in the tracks that could be done this way of course. I loved the tournament in mkWii that made you race Mushroom gorge backwards

MKWii 150cc is the real 200cc, and the tracks are made for that speed.
Best Mario Kart in every way except artstyle and track variety.

200cc just was thrown in to make F-zero fags shut up
>we want FAST
>alright, here's your fast mode and some F-zero stuff now shut up new F-zero never ever you better buy MK8 DX when it comes out

200cc is amazing, I love the new way with which you have to approach every track. I actually had to time-trail a few just so I'd get the hang of them cause you really have to git gud. Cheese Land is insane. After you played a while going back to 150cc feels shit.

>>375771553
