What's your VR total?
I raced two Japanese players yesterday who were both over 10,000. The races were super tight, lots of fun.

4916 VR, but I spend a lot of time on GAF and competitive tournaments. The game puts me up against 6000-9000 VR and I still get first pretty consistently.

Edit: Yeah in my original post I forgot to mention I do other tournaments and clan wars.

Justice did one earlier:

I dunno why but that recovery looks incredibly fast compared to any of my characters. Why is that?

Got a small boost from using the coin

Garrett Hawke · May 18, 2017

Is there a new exploit a la firehopping or something?

In most of the games I've played tonight there's been a person who manages to get so far ahead that me and my boyfriend in 2nd and 3rd are getting blue shells and invincibility stars.

When I first saw it I figured there was just someone insanely good, but were now in a new lobby and there's someone doing it again. They get sooo far ahead.

goldenpp72 · May 18, 2017

Fun, hard as fuck though.

Not that we're aware of.
They're probably that good.

Anyone playing 150 cc?

Bronetta · May 19, 2017

I just discovered you can bounce off trolleys on Toad Harbor.

Ive been playing MK8 since it launched. Holy shit

perfectchaos007 · May 19, 2017

I just want to say the 200cc Nintendo Employee ghosts in time trial mode really add to the replay value. Some of theses 200cc ghosts took a while for me to beat like the one in Toads Turnpike and Mario Circuit

Wait, how would you even land on one? When tricking off ramps on the hill?

Altered Juice · May 19, 2017

Game sold a shitload of copies, and yet I keep running into the same players for the past few days?

At least you get players. Most of the time I get 2 players and the rest is CPU.

Exactly. The kart bounced off the trolley and got a lil boost.

Maybe no one bought the game except you, and everyone online is just Reggie and Reggie's extended family

Atouba · May 19, 2017

Weird, I have finished all 200cc cups, all mirror cups (with at least 1 star) and now finished the first 2 cups of 150cc - and unlocked the gold kart. This can't be right.

You only needed to do Mirror Mode for the golden kart.

Forkball · May 19, 2017

My VR is now about 2600 and I'm getting creamed. The rooms have a larger diversity of rankings, including guys who have 7000+. I got fourth on Moo Moo Farms just now and I'm elated.

atom519 · May 19, 2017

I'm sure this has already been asked - but pressing the left trigger speeds up the item box right? This works 80% of the time but then others it does nothing and you are forced to wait the entire duration before finding out which item you have.

Maybe you can't when in the top 3 or something, or is mine just broken?

Are you a higher VR? If so, that would be why; most players are at a pretty low VR still.

It's called lag. And usually when that happens, you either get only coins or mushrooms.

Any games happening now?

kiri · May 20, 2017

Hey guys and gals....I'm taking part in a MK competition tomorrow. Details are scarce but seems to be a time trial, with the quickest time of the day winning a 3DS/Switch.

So my question is, assuming its a 'default' track like Mario Stadium and assuming I only have access to the starting parts and all characters - whats my best loadout?

I'm currently hitting 1:48:00 so far with Rosalina/Bowser, any ideas on shaving some more seconds off?

Dry Bowser Splat Buggy Slim wheels for that course

For majority go Streetle rollers.

About to start the 200 cc cups as that's the last thing I need to do. What is the best character/kart set up for 200 cc?

Orbis Tabula · May 20, 2017

I'm playing 200cc for the first time. Man alive, it's like a completely different game! It's gonna take forever for me to get all these stars! Can't wait!

I love King Boo and refuse to race anyone else. What's a good loadout for him?

Trying to unlock the Gold Kart, I read you need to get Star Rank from each cup in Mirror Grand Prix, I managed to get 3 Stars in few cups but got none for some even though I won the cups, how do you get the stars?

I think it's based on points. For three stars, win every race.

Zedark · May 20, 2017

Is there a way to view the whole rankings list for time trials? When I click "see more ghosts" it only shows the top 10 and 9 scores surroundings my best score.

Comet, rollers, cloud glider. It's essentially the only thing I roll with.

Kudo · May 20, 2017

Might aswell ask for good loadouts too, I mainly play Rosalina, Baby Rosalina and Inkling Girl, what's considered best for them?
Been using the Scooter for a while.

For Rosalina, see my King Boo set up above since they're the same. Baby Rosalina I believe is best with the biddybuggy, rollers, and an accel glider.

I'm not too sure about the Inkling Girl.

For Inkling I roll with the Sport Bike, Blue Standard, and Hylian Kite. It feels like a good combination to me. Stats are pretty even with some extra speed when using the glider.

Quick question: Can you race through the "campaign" cups with two players and unlock stuff? If this is possible I would buy it to play it with a friend during a long flight.

I really feel Mario Kart 8 lacks something to keep me playing.

I think it lacks a good single player mode. Completing all cups is quite challenging on 150cc and above but there is no meaningfull reward at all. I still play it often for time challenges. I love the ghost races. Multiplayer is where its at anyway.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
