Oh my god I'm laughing so hard
Because those tires don't have a good handling right? Never use those tires in 200cc.
that's why i love reserfvelevneid
Is it hard to to get three stars on 200cc?
I got 3 stars on 200cc only on the Mushroom Cup but couldn't get the job done on the Shell Cup. I don't know but it does sound pretty hard to me. I haven't played Mario Kart 8 a week after the second DLC pack came out.
When I got a Wii U and the game, I'll first try it in slow pace. From 50cc slowly to 200cc.
Wow
I might give it another shot sometime. It just that I'm so used to 150cc that I rarely used the brakes.
The Charizard ones, despite seemingly being the worst non-Mii character, are usually in always high spirits. As a Zard main, I don't think he's that bad. He's quite good in the right hands and has been given a lot of buffs lately. The other boards just lack a bit of ...optimism.

Me too, after I had played Mario Kart 7 for so long. That I might not want to use bikes if I got Mario Kart 8.
That's very good, I'm proud of the Charizard boards can have that kind of spirit.The Charizard ones, despite seemingly being the worst non-Mii character, are usually in always high spirits.

I don't use bikes in the game unless I play as Link, who's one of my two mains, since he looks pretty awkward when ridin' dirty on a kart. When I play as him on a bike, I just picture him ridin' like the wind on Epona.
To tell the truth, I have never use the drift when playing Mario Kart Wii when using bikes.
Actually, it more has to do with water speed being heavily hindered. The Slick and Cyber Slick do not affect any of the handling stats, but they do have among the worst water speed stats (tied alongside the Wood, Sponge, and Cushion), which can be a burden if you're ever racing at Dolphin Shoals.
I have accomplished that task myself.
Oh right, I do found myself lose steering when underwater.I don't know if I posted this image, but it's probably one that seems amusing to see.

But I guess that's something that shouldn't be too concerned about, since there aren't very many underwater tracks to begin with, and the heavy characters will often outspeed the light characters, regardless of the terrain.

Mostly a full day, though I was doing the GP cups for the second DLC pack as well at that time.
I think Zard is decent. Solid, if anything
What you really did played it for a full day? I think I'll take it slowly.
That's just for 200cc alone though.

I don't think so, as far as I can tell. Characters do have signature builds though. For example, the set up you see in Rosalina's official render for MK8 (Standard Quad and Monster wheels) is VERY often used by CPU Rosalinas in the game.I'm just curious, but is there any kind of 'rivalry' in Mario Kart 8 like in MK7? Example, Daisy would appear every. Single. Effing, time whenever you play as Luigi in Grand Prix. She also has improved AI over the rest of the characters and usually would end up pretty high. I believe there are 2 main rivals and one if one of the main rivals are yet to be unlocked (And it just feel great to have Rosalina's AI place higher than Daisy's. It happened before
Actually:
A) Individual characters DON'T have signature builts. It's divided in weight classes.
Heavy characters CPU often use ATVs , or ANY Standard vehicle with Monster Tires.
Like here:
![]()
![]()
However , this is not exclusive to Rosalina or individual characters as i said.
B) Medium characters prefer standard karts with normal tires or Outward drift bikes.
C) Lighter characters and Medium characters also have the preference for the PIPE FRAME , as seen above.
Finally , according to some research done by an user , MK8 does have a rival system HOWEVER , it only applies to the characters available in the first demo:
The unlockables such as Rosalina and the Koopalings don't have rivals.
I did it, but not for the DLC tracks yet since I don't have them. I can't remember what build I used - I think it involved the Tri-speeder vehicle body (I REFUSE to use bikes because they feel so weird). I did it a lot later than when I got all the stars for 50cc to mirror mode, after I had gotten pretty practiced in the game overall thanks to online (I think I was at 8000 VR). The brakes ("Braking is crucial!" - 200cc's description) weren't too hard to implement.
I'm at like 8,700 coins right now but I'm on vacation for a while so I can't be sure.
DLC characters are excluded in the general pack.
The other day I was literally fighting a "Roy Brigade" online. Seriously, 99% of my matches were against Roys.
That is my problem. Because of the fact the DLC is new, everyone's using him, and I can't win online a lot... Plus, I don't and won't have the DLC of Lucas, Ryu and Roy, so I can't train against him with the CPU level.
I sort of have that problem, as I have yet to get the DLC Collection #2, but I should have it on Friday. And really, the only one have any legit trouble with right now is Ryu (which is ironic, as Rosalina shuts him down). It's a mix of lag online (only way I can fight him right now), and because his hitboxes and all that seem different than at first glance.
I don't have any problem against Ryu. It's true his hitboxes were a bit problematic, but now I feel good against him.
I mean, do you have any problems fighting Marth and Lucina? I more or less approach the Roy MU similarly to how I approach them two, and it works out fairly well.
Last I've checked, a CPU Rosalina never "ever" uses the Landship. She does use the following combos though...I don't think so, as far as I can tell. Characters do have signature builds though. For example, the set up you see in Rosalina's official render for MK8 (Standard Quad and Monster wheels) is VERY often used by CPU Rosalinas in the game.
She also seems to like the Circuit Special and the Landship, I consistently notice CPU Rosalinas use those too.
Also some of the Rival match-ups in MK7 are funny. I love how Rosalina is one of Bowser's rivals. And why would Toad and Rosalina be rivals? Seems like a random choice.
Oddly, Link, Metal Mario, and Pink Gold Peach will never use the Monster tires, unless they're using the Standard ATV. Similarly, whenever Lakitu uses the Biddybuggy, it's always equipped with the Monster tires.Actually:

Not a lot in fact. I said it, I'm pretty good against them.
You just need to avoid them then. Rosalina has a noticeable advantage against all of the the swordwielders except for Shulk.
Well in Mario Kart 8 when I do Grand Prix's and I play as Donkey Kong, the two racers that always follow up close are Wario and Bowser, at this point I think there is some kind of rival characters for everyone but it might just be my luck and the game's random always give me those two guys. However in normal VS Races it's random.I'm just curious, but is there any kind of 'rivalry' in Mario Kart 8 like in MK7? Example, Daisy would appear every. Single.

And don't forget Roy's flame effect which are similar to Ike.
