Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion

[Amissapanda]

Yes, fire-hopping works. But I assume that anyone I see doing it is a filthy cheater who needs a special edges to win without skill/luck, basically.

 

[n64king]

Bleck. Thanks for confirming though.

Everytime it happens they're like 100 miles ahead of everyone else and it's always super suspicious when that happens. Not that it's impossible to get that far ahead, but usually it's because of other reasons and not as common.

I want Super Circuit on my WiiU right now Damn Donkey Kong is gonna take up the next 2 VC buys. I just cannot go without those.

Mario Kart online is getting really boring. Everyone picks the same tracks over and over there's no point in voting cause you know its going to pick Rainbow Road for SNES again or Hyrule Circuit cause it never picks the others

You can chose to play online with the DLC turned off. Then they can't come up as options. ;D

Useless to solve the problem. People will just end up picking Mario Circuit or Royal Raceway a million times.

It must be kids who keep picking Rainbow Road only because only kids think that track is hard and they're trying to meme everyone out

 

[n64king]

Yeah kinda agree that everyone keeps picking the same crap over and over. People are too picky and only like the courses where everyone screws up or it's overly easy like Mario Circuit.
Everyone overplayed Sunshine Airport & Electrodrome, so barely anyone votes for those now, I do though, the entire Star Cup is my favorite still.

Well considering there is nearly always 1 DLC track with DLC turned on (and then 2 of the other 32 tracks), SNES RR or Hyrule will turn up almost 1 in 4 track selections.
With it off, it's just 3 of 32 tracks each time, so a bit less likely to spam the same options.

I would say you could always join Mandas Monday MK friends streams, as we usually get a good mix of tracks, but we've also had SNES RR picked 5 times in a row before. ~ Albeit 2 or 3 of those were the selection landing on random and happening to pick it again.

 

[Zigzag991]

What was even weirder was that it landed on the same guy 6 times in a row.


But, hope you like Yoshi Circuit~

 

[Amissapanda]

As Jingle said, we generally play through (almost) every course in a stream. Some things do get picked more than once, but it's pretty rare that we get the same course over 3 times in one night. UNLESS YOUR NAME IS ZIGS OR STEVE AND YOU'RE TROLLING ME WITH THAT STUPID YOSHI CIRCUIT COURSE. But yeah. If someone picks things multiple times, it's usually an accident. Plus playing in a room with friends lets you pick ANY course you want instead of being limited to a choice of three for each person.

No pressure, though. I know some people don't like to play in streams/friends rooms and that's fine. But if you ever feel you want to jump in, add my NNID and let me know who you are. We usually have anywhere from 7-12 people racing (aside from just starting/near the end of the night when there's less).

Hahah that's happened in a group I've been in before too. We played Hyrule Circuit 5 times in a row and after that everyone rage quit, but the next one was something else so they shoulda just stayed lol

I should play with tbt people sometime, I may blow turds or do overly good. Idk. But when I see you guys talking here about it I be quiet and lurk. Lol Doesn't seem like my business.

It was five times, actually. I have the stream on YouTube. But random kept picking that guy over and over and over... insane.

Also, Yoshi Circuit can die in a fire. And there's no need to pick that crap multiple times after we've already played it.

You're more than welcome to join. I invite anyone here who wants to play when I stream and instruct how to join for whoever is interested. I didn't think it felt that exclusive.

Yeah I like me some Yoshi Circuit but that is too damn much. At least when the next DLC comes out there will be more for it to choose from.

LOL Oh it's probably just me feeling weird like I can't join in. *doesn't make friends on tbt*

 

[Zigzag991]

Okay I give you my word that next time I won't pick it. (But if by chance someone else picks it then )

Though I do enjoy it because all the turns make it super tight and face paced because of all the drifts so it gives me more of a super speed feel, plus there's that one section where you can fly through the piranha plants with mushrooms.

 

[Jinglefruit]

I do love the way you can seamlessly drift the first half a lap of yoshi circuit, but then you hit that final S bend on lap 3 and then 10 people overtake because everyone mushrooms over the grass and rams you into the wall and a bullet bill gets all up in your panties and by this point your fingers are so encrusted in salt you can't even hold A long enough to maintain your new found 11th place.

 

[Javocado]

Anyone want to vroom vroom tonight?
It's been years since I last played MK8

I'd be up to play in a bit, haven't in a while.

UNLESS YOUR NAME IS ZIGS OR STEVE AND YOU'RE TROLLING ME WITH THAT STUPID YOSHI CIRCUIT COURSE.

I'll try to not pick it next week then. I'll just stick to my BDD and maybe SSC, if I can remember. :3

IMO there's nothing wrong with firehopping, just about as bad as TTing in Animal Crossing to me, albeit I did play at a higher level at one point so my views are much different. You can't get a frontrun just by firehopping either, that comes from lines.

The stream is hectic fun and I recommend that everyone join. Silently cursing at a Baby Luigi computer is no fun.

 

[Javocado]

Alrighty, I'm gonna start playing in a little over 10 minutes.

If you are interested in playing with me, let me know.
We can do 1v1's or more if other people or just follow online.

I don't remember the last time I didn't mushroom over that grass even even if I'm in a higher place in the race, it seems like it happens everytime.

 

[Zigzag991]

I'm up to play!

As for fire hopping, I guess the main problem people have with it is that not every vehicle can do it, so it gives those who can an "unfair" advantage, and those who want to use other vehicles like a bike or something are out of luck. Although I'm not exactly sure how it works so I could way off.
