@Snatcher Since Tanooki mario is a mid weight character, you may have a harder time winning against mid-heavy and heavy weight characters. If you want an edge, and get tempted to try another character, try bigger characters. I love love Luigi, but I can't win with him as often as with waluigi & donkey kong. And if I lose a lot with them, and get desperate, I'll grab roy, metal mario, bowser, wario.
No matter how good you are, though, you can't win all the time online, because sometimes blue shells or weapons will get you. But when you are good, you will win more often. than others Or win most of the time.
@WoomyNNYes I like waluigi and dry bowser should I start playing them, and do you think I should get all the kart parts and gold mario then join the tournament I want to try to get 25 bucks.
@Snatcher Dry bowser is good too. Gold parts don't have special stats. So, they don't give you an edge. The racing slicks are same stats as gold wheels. Gold glider stats are the same as super glider. And there's nothing special about gold kart stats.
@Snatcher The only thing that can give you an edge is skill, maximizing drift boosts, getting faster track times, and using defensive items to pretect from getting shot. ...and a decent kart setup that isn't weak.
@WoomyNNYes Thanks for all your help I think i'm going to go with Rosalina waluigi and the bowsers I will try to get better and who know I may get top 8 or get better trying.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside.
(My friend code is SW-7322-1645-6323, please ask me before you use it)
@Snatcher Waluigi is good. Like I said above, I usually use donkey kong or walugi (mid-heavy weight characters), and if I loose a bunch, and get desperate, I'll grab a heavy weight character. If you like a heavy weight character, and are good with them, and competing, stick with it, they are the fastest.
@Snatcher I'm assuming you know when to hit the gas to get the fastest rocket boost start? I watch the second light; You can't hit gas until the 2nd light is lit. (IGN watches the numbers count down for the cue) No need to respond to this, if you know already
@Snatcher If you're talking about Nintendo's mk8 online tournament, they only talk about the top 8 players winning Nintendo points. And you're competing against.... the world? Haha. They talked me right out of even trying. All I can think about is how brutal online can be on a normal day. I would think it'll be worse when gold points can be won, getting spammed with weapons. If you still have fun doing normal online races, try one day and see if you still get some points for participating. The chances of being one of the top eight players is too slim to get my attention. Lately, if I race online, I like mushrooms only, coins only, or no items races. But I'm pretty sure the tournament will only be normal, all-items races.
You asked if you should wait. Each day the tournament points reset (it says in the switch news tile). So each day is a stand alone competition. And each day the top eight players are rewarded (a person can only win once). Its up to you if you want to wait, or race each day of the comp.
good to see MK8 still active online for Wii U. It's definitely not cross platform because the Switch version allows you to use two items and has a few additional characters.
