For those of you who've known me for a while, I've only ever posted 2 topics on this forum. So you know if I make one, I'm getting serious about a certain subject. Here, it's more apparent than ever so why don't I just get to the matter at hand? THE CPUS ARE FAR FROM RIGGED, PEOPLE!
First off, what exactly am I talking about? Well simply put, I've been hearing complaints directed at Wargor and LT8 that the enemy racers are too good, and their item RNG is beyond dumb. I'm going to go through all the arguments people put forth and debunk them one by one.
1. The CPUs always catch up to you even if you're miles away. Now, as much as I agree with this, rubber band AI (where the AI gets better when losing to close the gap between it and you) has always been a part of Mario Kart and was probably added as a way of making it more like the older MK games, which this one is based off.
2. If you're in first, their item RNG becomes a lot better, meaning they'll most likely blue shell you multiple times. This happens in regular matches anyway, so if you're complaining about this you're probably not skilled enough to get 1st in online races and have never experienced this.
These 2 by themselves are the major arguments people put forward, but there are a couple of things you need to consider. The first being how the CPUs on Grand Prix are automatically on "Difficult" mode to begin with. You're facing these CPUs at their absolute best. Second, this was all intentional. They were designed to be extremely difficult, as a way of forcing improvement out of a player that online practice just can't provide at lower levels.
For all the old-school gamers here, think Wizpig from Diddy Kong Racing. A boss that was deliberately faster than you, forcing you to either drive perfectly, learn a hidden technique to go faster, or use a character you unlock for mastering every bit of the game.
While you don't have that last option (The best character is already in your reach before you even do GP), you have the first 2. Either use Daisy and learn to snake, master your item play (like hitting your items to get out of blue shell hitstun faster), or grind out time trials to improve your skill at each individual track. No matter what way of improving you choose, you have to learn something new, either about the game or each track.
If you want proof of what I'm saying, how many pro players do you see complaining, as opposed to newbies? Literally none. They all (myself included) defend it because they understand the game. If you see one of the top 5 worldwide complaining, then it's a problem. But people complaining with no knowledge of the game other than "kart go brrr" is just stupid. They have no base for their irritation other than their lack of experience with the game.
End of story, the CPUs were made to be difficult as a wake-up call for new players to get good. It's your fault if you choose to just try beating them over and over in vain or actually improve. I really, really hope this is the end of the madness, and that people finally understand.

Firsty, it'll never end bc ppl naturally complain about stuff.
Secondly, you said it was far from rigged but I think that it is just highly probable to get unlucky. The real problem imo is that the items are too frantic. You'll know that there is a problem when you are give Bob-ombs in 1st with 8 racers. Or when you're 1st on the final stretch with a big lead and still come last bc
item combo. (if you remember those races we had in Cheep Cheep Beach and Desert Hills when I used Yoshi, you'll get what I'm saying)
Third, I wouldn't call only the top 5 "evidence". There are other good people in the game. (ur not in top 5 vs mode rankings but still one of the best, if not, the best)
Finally, lack of experience doesn't mean you're bad at the game.
And ye, ppl won't stop complaining.

No. I had 32 pts, first place had 34.
Probably just a bug, but I think it's funny how I get gold and a new character and I flopped.

I'm sure this is just a big misunderstanding. Like I said in another topic, the best thing you can do is support them so that they can overcome their mistakes.

You don't really need to register, just put a track link under your name and that's it. I am assuming you are participating?
On 2020-06-06 at 11:18:57
You should send the rules first, it will draw more people in. ^^

If is based on quick tracks, let me introduce myself 
Actually, I was gonna make it only complete mode because tracks in quick mode can only get so special...
On 2020-06-06 at 02:03:57
i already have a track!
You don't know the rules yet (I'm not 100% sure either, I'm still working on it so it's fair)... It may not be eligible for the contest.
