Today’s game is Mario Kart 8. Today’s been a bit busy (hence the lateness). There’s been a bit of a celebratory event today I won’t get into. For the first time in a while though I didn’t have the time to sit down and pick something to play. Thankfully, I’m me. And even when I’m playing other games I still take screenshots.
Anyways. I mostly wanted to use today to thank everyone who provided me pointers and tips for 200cc the last time I played.
I would like to let you know the fruits of your labor have not gone to waste. I have even beaten my group’s reigning 200 CC champion (the gold Mario player). I even did it on Rainbow Road, which according to our Gold Mario Player is “the worst on 200cc”. Though I think he’s just been dramatic as honestly Rainbow road is easy on 200cc.
I mainly stuck to brake drifting around corners and it was easy.
200cc honestly has completely changed the game for me. 150 feels to slow and I take completely new routes now to accommodate for the added speed. It’s honestly awesome. I can’t believe I was so put off by it before.
Anyways, one last thing I was going to share is this awesome bomb throw I got. I was going to do it as a clip but I couldn’t censor my friend’s names. So here’s a screenshot. I ricocheted it off the canyon wall twice and managed to nail my friend with it.
Anyways. I just wanted to take it easy today and relax, so i went with this. Tomorrow it’s back to the currently regularly scheduled Twilight Princess.
Mk8 is still the “new” one in my head. I forgot entirely about Mk world
MK World just feels… off to me. I’m not sure what it is but I think it’s a little too experimental for me to consider it my go to. Plus all my friends have 8 so that kind of gets it priority in my head too
World is really good honestly. It’s not without flaws, but it’s really fun and the new techniques like wallriding, grinding etc. make for lots of cool tech in the hands of a skilled player (which I’m not).
Love the wall riding honestly. It really is what won me over with it
I wish GP mode had a classic mode option, though, instead of “get to the track and then do a single lap”.
I just hate that it’s a bag and sprint game.
What does this comment even mean?
The only way to win is to intentionally be in last place for the first half of the race, get good items, race to the front and avoid lightning.
Ah. Thank you! I’ve never heard that term before
Sorry it’s short for sandbagging, lol.
Yeah, it made sense after you explained it. I just hadn’t heard it called what you wrote originally. I appreciate you clearing it up
