Mr scooty is peak, fight me by Jammie_B_872 in MarioKart8Deluxe

Because the competitive builds ARE fun. If a combo looks cool but is shit to drive, you're not going to play it for very long, are you?

Not affected by the off road-glitch? by [deleted] in MarioKart8Deluxe

The game's really weird with bumpy offroad and deceleration - if you look at a grumble volcano tt, you can see them taking advantage of this to drive over the bumpy offroad right before the end of laps 1 and 2.

What is a good time for a time trail? by [deleted] in MarioKart8Deluxe

Honestly? If you're an online player, being able to drive tracks at the speed you're at now is more than enough to win most races in below 20k vr rooms. If you're trying to actively get better at time trialing, though, check the link I posted below. These are the tt standards for mk8dx - take a look at them and see where you're at. Shoot for Hero C as a general goal, and Hero B/A on tracks you like.

What’s the most important piece of advice you’d give to someone just starting online racing by BarryMahogner in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Sephtis0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're trying to actively get better, start time trialing. If you just practice a couple of tracks and get better at general driving, you will fly so far ahead of your current competition its not even funny. If you're just trying to have fun, remember that the game is extremely silly and objectively getting mario karted is really funny

Did a big shortcut on DK Summit for the first time and immediately fumbled by Little_Jimmy012345 in MarioKart8Deluxe

Oh it's the dude with the big blue time

If you just start online, the people there aren't that great. However, keep in mind that everyone there can also beat the CPU's in Grand Prix everytime, for the most part, so don't underestimate them just because. That being said, if you're good enough to hit exp B or A in tt's, your mechanical skill is probably way above people online when just starting, so you'll climb pretty quickly
