Newer Mario Kart games don't mesh well with competitive play because to them, they are nothing but fun games. Mario Kart should have never been in the competitive spotlight. All it did was cause drama most of the time, and people whining about ****.

Agreed.

I've seen lots of "competitive players" bash Mario Kart 8. Complaining because you can't store two items at the same time, the so-called "item balancing", amongst other things I can't name at the moment. You should check out MKBoards and see all the rage messages.
I don't need to, I experienced it first hand.

The Mario Kart community, at least the clanning scene, is one of the worst I have seen. Always drama and arguments. If one of your players lags, they accuse you of hacking and refuse to count it as a loss. And just always arguments.

Then there was the small group of "elite" clans who looked down on everyone else, and refused to acknowledge the lower clans. They could never do any wrong, and only cared about warring the other elite clans.

Clanning was fun when it was honest and just for the enjoyment, but that was rare compared to all of the drama and fighting and dishonesty that there was.

I honestly found the 900+ Funky Kong Clans in MKWii hilarious.

This, too. Some clans wouldn't even allow you to join or participate if you didn't choose Funky or Daisy.

For those who don't know, in Mario Kart Wii, Daisy and Funky had a slight speed boost, among other things, over other characters in their weight class.

Good day, everyone.
I pray you all life, love, and peace.
Thank you MonK. (: And how are you?

Don't forget about Skype calls! If you don't do what a clan member says, you're going to be the one to blame!
Skype is not even needed for ****ing clan "wars" lmao. If you want to have fun playing MK competitively, just do so, but not in such a hostile manner.

I forgot about that. I never had Skype for that, so if anything went wrong usually I was the one to blame, depending on who was with at the time...

Great! 100%, A+
This is a nice way to start the day, knowing there are pleasant people who wish you well.

Clans!
I had some similar experiences to in Starcraft: Brood War when I was a wee lad.
Being a lone wolf is funner in games anyways :D

Oh trust me, those were the times.... quite the amusing experience. There was this now deleted media of people *****ing at each other as if they didn't care, in the middle of the race.

I jumped straight to MKWii after MK64 so my thoughts on it were overall quite positive. Speaking of MK64, it actually did have a pretty swell competitive community(namedropped later in this paragraph)...but tbh, the recent MK games aren't as suitable for competitive play as the older ones so the toxicity makes sense...I don't go on MKBoards and my impressions and knowledge of the MK competitive community is pretty much based off of the mariokart64(.com) community.

And while it is also unlikely, I'd like to see some of Double Dash's features come back in a recent MK game as well...like that Bob Omb Battle mode and the general concept of having two characters in one character. But yeah, not gonna happen.
I just can't figure out how can you play Mario Kart "competitively" when it wasn't meant to be played that way. Sure, the same could go and apply to Smash Bros. (shots fired), a totally different type of game, but at least that one has a purpose. I may just be talking ****, having never been in an actual clan and all that stuff (plus the mariokart64 website).

Double Dash's trademark concept of 2-in-1 should be brought back, indeed.

Skype is boring.

I did, just the only person that played with me on the game ****ing sold it
You could do it with me sometime, I suppose... Not really a big fan of it and I don't have a wireless switch (lolol N3DS) so I can't help though.

Or I could give you all my cash since my town is probably going poof later. :estatic: Almost maxed out the ABD and I'm just sitting on a perfect peach farm.

To celebrate the official translation of Nichijou, I decided to make a "Duwang" translation myself.
For those who doesn't know what "Duwang" is, it's basically a poor translation of the 4th part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. it became a meme afterwards, and for a long time, it was the only translation of the part.

Wish me luck in my Duwang quest. This will feel like a picnic made by Speedbump in Chinatown.

Skype is bori-- *a certain contact removes me from the application*
Same with me, some games I just can't dig on a competitive level because it's not fun for me when played that way.

I mean, I care for my rating on MK8 online but other than that I'm not really interested in the way competitive Mario Kart players in real life.

Stars, blue shells, red shells and the like, I love it.

Smash I can do both, I prefer that I do competitive play since I find it to be the fighter of my suiting. Mario Kart just doesn't do it.

That reminds me, why doesn't the N3DS have a wireless switch?

I forgot my ranking even existed because I don't go on worldwide and only go on the 200cc tourney Nintendo made

Someone should write down everything that happens in the next hunger games simulation as if they were writing a fanfiction based on it.
