i am very high sorry

um, hello? it's one of the memes of the decade

I'm going to respond to each of these paragraphs individually. Keep in mind, I've been on this site for nearly 2 and a half years, made 192 tracks to my main project, and got fairly good at the game. So I am "experienced" with the game. I also noticed you've been here for about a month, which means you probably don't have the hang of the game just yet?

As for my main point, which I'll start on this paragraph.
So I'll admit it. Calling it a skill issue? Is a pretty rude way of putting it, but it's quite honestly right. If you're gonna beat GP, you're gonna need to get better. Adding an easier difficulty would be cheesing it. And if you want to get better? Then just ask someone better that knows RD or good snaking. They can probably help you. Even me, though, I'm not too great in the grand scheme of things (mainly in item use though which is a lot less of an issue against CPUs as opposed to humans).

You're correct, it does happen frequently. But as you literally say, it's pretty much always from new players. New players, that don't really know what they're getting into. This game has a learning curve. It's essentially the same situation as MKDS snaking; you're gonna need to learn RD, else you don't really stand a chance unless your name is Andy

The thing here is that it isn't a case of failing to cater to new players, it's just them being, well, new. This is why I've been thinking about making a general "Getting into MKPC" tutorial, because it could help them to become better.

If you're going to add these difficulties (and, by the way, the second stage of difficulty is called Medium. Have you never played VS??????) then I don't see a reason why Extreme and Impossible wouldn't be added. Because, for many experienced players, Difficult is too easy. Even Extreme too, but that has tripped me up a few times. However there's still no point. You'd only be getting anything from Difficult. I've also not yet mentioned that you don't need to complete the main game's GP mode. All you'll get is bragging rights, since there's no point to getting all the characters - there's already copies of them made as custom ones, AND you never want to be playing as a character without Daisy's stats.

My point pretty much is:
You don't need to play GP unless it's on a multicup for a challenge. If you're still getting the hang of the game, play Easy or Medium in VS. Get help from better players.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to say something about people constantly denying the CPU's difficulties.

I notice there being a constant of people just saying that it's a skill issue when a player complains. It's true, but that was known every time that the player asks. It's not about the players not being good and trying to bring others down, it's about there needing to be more accessible difficulty options for new and old players alike.

Another note I had was that the fact that people complain about the difficulty so frequently should  be an indicator that there's a problem. I think that it's hindering the new players' experiences more than veterans see, just since they complain so often.

This doesn't mean that the entire game has to cater to the new players, but I also don't think that it should cater to great ones either.

How about there being 2 difficulties, Easy and Regular? And only being able to earn cups and new characters when on Regular difficulty? (Although, unlocking characters doesn't mean much when the cups that give it to you for free exist.)

Anyway, I just feel like the overall experience could be better if
1. New players weren't shoved off for being not good.
2. It was more accessible for new players by adding an easy mode with less rewards.

Thanks!
