Mario Kart PC Forum - Advanced search

I'm not saying you leave the site. You just wouldn't be able to talk until the site thinks you're old enough to be responsible.

I know the majority of youth in this game are fine but I haven't seen drama caused by anyone 13+ in over a year.

I wholeheartedly agree, this has gone on for too long. This is supposed to be a kid's racing game, not a fight club. I think there should be a different approach, however.

Age restrictions for the forum.

In case it wasn't obvious at this point, the majority of full-blown drama is caused by the younger members of the community. Having a minimum age for talking on the forum would decrease it significantly. However, let them view it, because I don't want them completely locked out of the community. Only stopping them from stirring up anything that could ruin this place.

I didn't say it's good, I'm just saying that it at least has a positive.

TC is high risk vs high reward, you may end up getting unlucky but because of the speed boost you can not only pass it to other people easier but also gain a few positions in the process.

Blooper however, literally no reward to using it.

No, not even that. If you can remember the track layout, no track in this game is a problem, and as I said, ice tracks like Ice Ice Outpost and Sherbet Land are the only ones that might give you trouble.

No, the coin has its use. It actually makes you slightly faster, there's a noticeable difference between 0 and 10 coin speed.

The blooper on the other hand? Its only use is against CPUs, as it actually slows them down. Sure, it reduces traction a bit but you're only gonna notice it on MK8DX 200cc on a track with ice physics.

there's no reason to lock the topic we're all giving advice

Everybody saying that Bowser's Castle's the hardest track in this cup, but hello? Rainbow Road? If you end up falling off and you're stuck behind a couple of racers good luck not getting bumped off the track.

Same advice can be given as for all of the cups. Practise Time Trials, play Daisy to give yourself an easier time and most of all, play safe as any mistake will cost you greatly

Having such a bad laptop that I get recommended to try out lag-dependent strats

Super easy raceway: 21.429
Broken Bridge: 19.832
I'll do the others sometime

1. Ganon (Old Manondorf alt) - I don't know why, but something just clicked with me and Ganondorf. Despite being utter garbage in Brawl I still used him and even racked up a 30-40 game win streak at a public gaming event last year. I first tried him in smash 4 and after just one game I knew this was the character for me. And when I got ultimate and saw that his damage, mobility and move safety all got buffed, I knew I couldn't drop him.

Oh and by the way, I can't play Falcon to save my life outside of Super Smash Flash 2 where he's my main. Don't ask.

2. King Dedede (Blue/WiFi alt, as I call it) - Dedede was my main in smash 4 until I played Ganondorf, due to his surprising combo breakers, powerful hammer, good recovery and useful projectile in the form of the Gordo.

3. Joker (Akechi alt) - Does this one need explaining? Tier lists aside, Joker is extremely fun to play. All of his moves and combos just have an unrivalled level of style, and the MKLeo special (First hit of forward air, drag down up air, Up/Down smash) is probably the most satisfying combo to land in the game. And Arsene just makes the whole experience even better. Love the character, love the game, love the details put into him, I just wish I was better as him.

4. Hero (Purple Goku alt) - As a Pokémon player, I have put up with my fair share of RNG, mainly against me. So I was a little sceptical of Hero being so luck-dependent, but once I played him he was just so much fun.

5. Rosalina and Luma (Black alt) - This one surprised me. I used to despise playing Rosa, mainly due to her cheap nature. Luma would always save you, you had an aerial that killed heavyweights at 40%, etc. RosaLuma was broken, to say the least. But I pick up her worse version in Ultimate, and she's actually really fun. Positioning Luma's a good test of your spacing and read abilities, and the ability to cover more ground than usual is a helpful tool.

Honourable mentions:
King K. Rool - Fun, used to be one of my mains but fell over the months.
Shulk - Extremely cool concept, but the most unfair character in the game imo, playing him feels like you're cheating.
Lucario - As someone who's learnt to play at high %, Lucario works perfectly for me. Another character I wish I could play better.
Bowser Jr. - No real reason, I just like this dude. Bowser's cool too but his playstyle's too barebones for me (says the Ganon main lol)

Try doing speedruns of the cups

Locking this topic, me simply telling a player to be respectful of Andy's choices went too far, I'm sorry.

He's the one being disrespectful, now can we move on?

Mind actually contributing instead of just saying "first"? Andy's being serious and you just want to flex that you were the fastest to read this? No respect man...

I have to once again take responsibility. I've been told that as moderator, I should be taking action without the admins' input. I haven't been doing that and I should've done what needed to be done when it was first an issue. I'm sorry Andy, and I hope everything else gets fixed soon.

Yes, planning on doing a Pokémon Y Nuzlocke challenge once I get the game.

I wasn't that bad when I got my first Pokémon game, actually. My first was gen 4 but I didn't play much and idk which one, so let's go with the one I played properly - Alpha Sapphire.

Chose Torchic my first time because I was a Blaziken fan. However, it made Roxanne such a pain. One Rock Tomb and my main Pokémon was down. Luckily I was dumb and forgot to save, so all the times I lost to her were gone.

Restarted the game, picked Treecko instead and wiped out Roxanne's entire team; I was very happy with myself then . I remember having a Zigzagoon and Taillow throughout the whole game, got a Lotad as my HM slave (however I didn't know how to evolve it so I was stuck with a Lombre for the whole game instead of a Ludicolo, big mistake), and a Machop/Machoke. Then I picked up my free Latias and my team was all set from there.

Gym Leaders were really easy tbh, I beat them all first try other than Wattson, who I lost to once. I know I should've picked Mudkip for this but I don't care.

Elite Four however...well I was stupid there. I didn't know that you could heal inbetween the 2 fights, so I got most of my team annihilated by the first battle and prayed I got past Phoebe, that's it. So sadly I never got to fight Steven on my save file, but I played with a friend who let me take him down.

Oh and I lost to Archie for the exact same reason.

So tl;dr I didn't finish a Pokémon game until Sun came out, and that was a lot harder.

Favourite game: Ultra Sun and Moon, really love how different it was from the previous games, and the additions it made to the original just make it even better.

Favourite Pokémon: Decidueye. Grass and Ghost are some of my favourite types (3rd and 2nd respectively), the design is amazing and it was such a good partner to have during my Alola adventures.

Favourite music: No lie, Pokémon music slaps in general but my favourite is Vs. Champion Steven. Other good ones include Ultra Necrozma, Hoenn Gym Leader battle, Cynthia's themes before and during the fight and Pokémon Trainer Red.

It's because you're trying to be one of those people who are only cared about because of their achievements. People care about you, not what you've done.
