MK8 is cool and all (love playing as link and villager lol and I like what they did with most courses) but I can’t stand 200cc (it shaped the meta from having a really decent spread of cars to looking literally like a monkey kindergarten cuz the kiddy stuff handles extreme speeds the best) and the fact that you can’t pick your own course to put up on vote.

Ah, I mostly played MK8 on the Wii U before the small characters became popular. I still play a big heavy kart now, it's harder to control but it goes a lot faster if you stay on the right lines. Also, since when can you not pick your own courses? I'm convinced that it was possible back in the day 🤔

MK8 on the Wii U did have the firehopping though. Now that was a broken, hated mechanic. Like most people I knew how to do it and I did, but it just felt wrong.
 
Yeah, 64 is my fave and they destroyed those tracks soooo hard in 8/8d lol
It’s funny cuz I actually kinda liked what they did with rainbow road and toads turnpike at the very least...I admit that if they keep adding gimmick upon gimmick and INSIST on adding those gimmicks to retro tracks it’s going to butcher them.

No it’s literally all Wario, waluigi, donkey Kong, Morton and heavy miis on little bug bumper cars, teddy bears and kiddy scooters with the appropriate roller wheels. Those are the only kart styles that can handle 200cc. I came from the Wii U days where a good chunk of the meta (not all of it, mind you) was on inside drifting bikes, which I love. I have to stick to tournament style play where the speed is set to 150 or 100 because of it

You get a pool of 3 courses to choose from (or random). You’d think with how big a spread they have they’d allow a LOT more...

at the very least I think Renegade Roundup is the best battle mode they’ve come up with! Cops and robbers works surprisingly well on MK.

Admittedly Wii was just as bad with the Funky Kong, Daisy and Baby Daisy on inside turning bikes being the only viable meta...

I think the kart setup in MK8 isn't really as important as the way you drive it but that's how these things go, people decide that something is the best and everyone starts doing the same even if that particular playstyle doesn't even it them.

And lol yeah, literally everyone on Wii was always playing Funky Kong on a bike. And since I hated bikes, and didn't like Funky Kong, that took a lot of the fun out of it for me. 😂

For the most part it doesn’t matter much anyways and I’ve got more than one race where I’ve beaten those guys but when the game picks 200cc it’s like just give me the loss 😓

I admit I love bikes cuz of MKW (inside turning feels more organic to me now :p) but I always played as Yoshi or Rosalina.

from past mk8d comp experience the meta was like standard bike with the roller tires on a heavy character, they're the best suited for comp situations with their speed

Back when I played a lot it was a pipe frame kart on slick tires with a heavy character. It's funny how the trend changes over time, really shows how there isn't a perfect, best setup!

i think that was more suited for when fire hopping was still a thing, blue falcon was the go to back then, but now (2017-2018 is when i was active in comp) its all about how much acceleration you get off drifts and making the right cuts

I want to complain about falling off my bike and hurting myself :mad: right after I spend a week off working because I was sick. Then I have to end the day early cause I fell off my bike during my first delivery.
Life is pain

Yeah lucky just cuts/grazed my hands and knees. Makes it very difficult to cycle with holding the handlebars and peddling tho lol. I have to go out tomorrow to work so just hope I feel a bit better then :)
