This would be specifically in the context of Mario Kart Wii online, where players using bikes (so most players) are often wheelying for extra speed on straight roads. Staying right behind another to get a draft for extra speed is fairly common too. However, if you bump into someone or something while in a wheelie, you get significantly slowed down for a few seconds.
People usually just wheelie bump people from the side but on occasion when someone is behind me trying to get a draft, I’ve had the thought to suddenly drop my wheelie and slightly brake, causing them to lose a lot of speed, and then I can just start another wheelie.
Am I onto something or is there a reason nobody’s doing it?
By no means, am I an expert on Mario Kart, but what’s stopping you from trying it? I agree with other commenters that there’s probably a reason why others aren’t doing it, but the stakes seem pretty low, and you won’t know for sure until you try it. Sometimes, doing something abnormal in a game works
ive never thought to do it quickly enough, and im tryna not lose any VR
Ah, fair enough
