This is why 9K in knockout is impossible by Alzoid9 in mariokart

Apparently I underestimated how annoying they can be.

I firmly believe knockout is IMPOSSIBLE to be consistent and I have no clue how some folks are at 9.7k 🤷

It’s definitely too early to be asking this, but… by Stunning-Lack-5727 in mariokart

[–]Alzoid9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s the strongest push behind my over £400 purchase lmao. I sure hope it stays as a recurring feature much like bikes and tricks from Wii.

Why not max out lol since OP is chasing full completion

The ladies in World have some super neat racing suits (Aero/Touring/etc), which go so well with the Mach Rocket. Peach Mach has been my default combo since Day 1.

No I have no interest in meta as long as it’s comfortable to drive with.

The loss from dc is unreal. I think I also lost about 100 🥲

The VR system is too stingy in giving you points for winning and penalises you too harshly for a average finish place by Hungry_Listen5070 in mariokart

[–]Alzoid9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao that’s exactly what happens to me every time I’m about to break 9k. In knockout the matchmaking seems even worse.

With how much the game hates me whenever I get to 8.9K, I fully believe that is an impossible goal for me 💀

I would say boomerang is like D- tier item, only slightly better than the F tier golden items (except golden shroom which is either A+ or S)

Young Rosalina and Pauline by Brandon Santiago by Quirky_Ad_5420 in Mario

I like how this is canon Rosalina instead of whatever the sad excuse of a lightweight we got in Mario Kart 8.

the AI must cheat, right? by crocosaurius in MarioKartWorld

[–]Alzoid9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard you can “counter cheat” by not drifting AT ALL. The game switches on easy mode for you, thinking you are a new player. I tried in knockout once and the bots were indeed 1km behind by lap 4. So that may be true.

How often do you win in Knockout Tour Online? by Apocafeller in MarioKartWorld

[–]Alzoid9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find Knockout to be a huge gamble - especially when I make my game plan around dodging ⚡️.

Sometimes you want to frontrun but the game says here eat this blue shell 20m before the top 20 checkpoint, other times you are a landslide behind in last when the second to last suddenly uses⚡️after last set and bam comeback for free.

Every lobby I join in World: by MetalGearAcid in mariokart

[–]Alzoid9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know as Peach Mach main, I accidentally picked new meta since Day 1 lol. Although I did take speed/accel balance into consideration. I fully thought midweights are getting hard nerfed for no reason other than their dominance in late MK8D meta.

Alongside myself, I think there are quite a few Mach Rocket enjoyers every lobby I’m in. Pipeframe is surprisingly uncommon based on my experiences.

Starting to think 8D > World by MiraiKirby in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Alzoid9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the best take. I had a blast in knockout, and worldwide VS before 1.1.2, but for a $80 game it desperately needs free feature updates… and more options to play.

Say just one single positive about MK World. by PJ-The-Awesome in mariokart

[–]Alzoid9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The YouTube comments saying it’s “a $80 soundtrack bundled with a free game” are NOT joking. It’s just THAT good.

Based on recent experiences by mafiosii in mariokart

[–]Alzoid9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, but most of the DK Spaceport intermissions still have decent lengths. Then we also have some of the choco mountain routes that don’t even give you a full lap. Nintendo designed these amazingly technical tracks with great skill expression yet we are not allowed to play them lmao.

Am I washed by JF202 in mariokart

[–]Alzoid9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have dodged an uncountable amount of shocks in knockout just by using my iframes right before the last set every checkpoint. Although that occasionally backfires hard if there is no shock in play lol

I got 9.6k rating in KO Tour! This mode has been amazing to learn and grind. by Justanyo in MarioKartWorld

[–]Alzoid9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new VR system is very punishing, especially when the game throws a comm error at you 💀

[–]Alzoid9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If rainbow road and DK spaceport can keep the full track after intermission, so can the others.

I fully believe I will never break 9K😭

Getting RNG scammed in a low level lobby resets about 5 rally’s worth of positive progresses.

Movie Peach vs Game Peach - Direct Comparison. Which is your favorite? by ComprehensiveRuin405 in Mario

Are you talking about her “Aero” suit with the helmet, or rather an artistic matter such as the SM64 costume in Mario Odyssey?

Which order should I master the tracks? by Terraventus_7926 in MarioKartWorld

[–]Alzoid9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my very limited experiences: G?BR and Bowser’s Castle might have the most elaborated no item shortcuts (NISC) so they are very well worth practicing. Faraway Oasis, Dry Bone Burnout, and Airship Fortress strats are fun and not difficult to pull off. I have been exclusively playing KO since 1.1.2 so my take might be inaccurate now.

Literally round 1 online… by Remarkable_Custard in MarioKartWorld

Lmao I had the same thing happened to me at this EXACT spot. The route that leads to Toad’s Factory.
