In what universe are green shells the game changer? Do neither of these people drift? Hold a banana to intercept red shells? Use POW to interrupt blue shells?

Gosh I hope those are still a thing in the new one. Lol

sometimes you just gotta use what the game gives you, and use it well

All still things thankfully. As is dodging a blue shell with a perfectly timed mushroom. I was shocked when it worked first time because I'd never gotten it right in 8 lol.

MKWorld increased the blue shell mushroom dodge timing window from like 100ms to 1 second, so it's very easy now.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

It's tight timing either way I bet. It's always a surprise when someone thinks they gotcha though, haha.

Maybe theyre both at such a high level that the smallest things make the most differance

If you don't sandbag in the beginning, you deserve to lose.

MK8 gave green shells semi auto homing which completly ruined the fun because then you could just spam the shells at a wall to have it auto aim towards the next player.

Dunno if they changed it in MK World, but I really missed the item sniping shenanigans of MKWii

I hope it's not too cold where viking lives, because they'll have to sleep outside tonight.

This is all well and good, but have you tried multiplayer Overcooked or Plate Up? You may want a marriage counselor's contact info handy if you do.

Have you tried full contact Mario kart? We did it once.

Why are you babies still playing Mario Kart when Crash Team Racing is the superior game?

Real adults drive real cars with forward mounted machine guns in the headlights and try to blow each other off the freeway.

I mean... Minus the real part...

collapsed inline media

Yeah 😏

Super sacred fire is a cooler mechanic than anything in a Mario Kart game.
