I Tried Competitive Mario Kart 8 Deluxe...

Classic lounge. We got major frontrunning tracks and bagging tracks, excitebike, and baby park. 😩😩 Watch me dominate with my favorite combo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJOcgZ97d7Gpj9U Or watch me join the yoshi hivemind: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaK2d2yHdsZ2kJY

Everyone using Yoshi is a vicious cycle of it being the best, but using the same character is also kind of a meme, and then rooms end up like this. I finally settled with Peach + Varmint.

THE KING BOO PREVAILS

[@PoloRaizen]

Hello ! Happy that you discovered lounge ! I hope you can have fun (while you can) playing it ! This video was fun to watch ! I love how you try to play for your teammate as well, it's lovely! Wish you the best man ! Keep your vids, they are fun bro ! Keep going !(Just under, I make comments on your plays, I know you didn't ask for it so that's why I will put in that "read more" case. Take care man !) Overall just try to do top 6 every track ! That's the most important, top 6 only is 84 points (+average) ! Just think positively like you do man ! In low tiers there is not that much bagging as people of this level don't really know how to bag so it's generally easier to just run and play smart. I just want to make some remarks on your plays (good, bad, better) : DEA : 1:12 Good bomb placement however you missed the double and it could have cost you the game. 1:25 Your bomb placing was good but you missed the item again, while it worked, in my opinion, you should have put it earlier, on the remp trick (with the two adjacent coins), unavoidable if you don't see it coming, and you take the double after. But good run ! LA : 2:25 Good spacing, taking lag into account ! However don't spam your horn as you die ! thats called ragespamming, and it can just put you in a worse situation than the current. It was okay, but try to not do that. 3:48 Nice comeback ! However if you wanted to be sure to have shrooms you should have gone to the glider and got items there ! Plant was a nice last item however, so it's nice ! NB : You didn't get hit bc of lag, he was actually next to you and not in front like it was shown. (you'll get used to play through lag, but you have a nice base of that already) Paris : 4:00 Imo, go left all the time in the beginning exceptt if you're bottom and you want to have that coin. The draft and the UMT at the beginning are really important. 5:18 Not your fault, you can think last has shock but it's not that obvious at that moment. 5:26 you're too middle :( Nice 8 BMG : 8:00 you could have actually passed the gap jump, your mt charged before the gap, you just "forgot" to jump. BMC3 : 9:10 You're kind of right, people just want to be sure to have a dodge (bot 4 items) 9:22 The trajectory you had to take this coin wasn't optimal at all, and you lost time. You didn't look back before using your star at the double too, you need to pay attention even more when bagging bc everyone can get so close in one second. Also, imo you were too close to pull another dodge, so it would have been better to stop at a single and trying to chain your items to get one dodge (like you did in 9:42). That's why you didn't dodge (but luckily it was played before your items) 9:57 Great placement ! You could have the double or the single ! Remember that placement for this track bc it's important for those cases. You got a single item (and a great one) and thanks to that item you pressured the 2nd, that played safe, and you got top 2 with your mate ! Nicely done ! BDKS : 13:00 You played very well, as you saw, no one runs well this track, and you managed to do 2nd that's great ! I know how stressful it is when things don't come exactly the way you want. But that's lounge in general, and that's its strong points : adaptation. If you did a better shortcut at the end, you wouldn't have trailed shanks and would've gotten 1st ! However 2nd is nice too. MW : 15:40 Shanks just too good, he was so far away, you kept getting stars and boo that's why it was easy for you to comeback. Also people can't do the tree section properly so you caught up to them very quickly. dBP : 17:30 You played very safe but in baby park it's really more safe to bag as shock is too punitive here (and everyonees bagging so) BDC : 19:22 Played safe ! Nice ! You could have plant earlier since the guy didn't red you and maybe you would have gotten 2, but 4th is nice already. SA : 19:50 It's great that you have this habit ! However, when you're in 1st you can spam the coin so you're faster and don't get drafted. On this track it doesn't matter that much to keep the coin, as normally, you would lose 1st anyway. 21:03 RIsky to try that snipe even if you have a shroom, you don't have any protect left and if you get redded you die dumbly. Let them 1st. Lucky end ! Nice blue dodge ! bATD : 23:33 That's a very important thing you just did ! Keep that habit (especially if you REALLY need a double) ! Not many players think of doing that as it's counter-intuitive but it's very important to brake to be sure to get an Item ! You didn't get more than 4 coins on the track however, that's really bad :( It's really important to have 5 at least constantly. dYC : 25:21 Yeah, it happens more often than we think (and it's tiring), but to be sure it doesn't happen, you just back one banana (or green) just before it hits you to be sure you're safe. 25:24 You're lucky because there is shock just after for your blue shell BUT you should have let him passed as soon as you saw his triple shrooms. You definitely don't wanna get blued with your current pool (and you should take this habit). Overall you play really safe and you run very well for this tier ! So I think you could rank up quite quickly (I don't know in which tier you've been placed ? probably in bronze 1 I would say ?) if you keep this safe habit and if you improve your running AND bagging because now you will be forced to bag a little bit so you can get stronger. Kusaan is the goat of 150cc lounge, and streams often, if you want to see his gameplay live (tier A and more). There are several other people that I can think of that stream high tier lounges, so if you want I can give you a list (if you're interested).

Makes sense. Imo I don't like that and I also don't like purely picking based on your starting position. It leads to less track variety and uninteresting tracks.

in lounge 2v2s people normally try to play the same character as their teammate, which is why yoshi is great because every team can use a different colour (not everyone has Birdo, Peach and Daisy are used rarely). in FFAs you will see a lot more Daisy, Peach, and other classes because people don’t have to match a teammate and can play what they want.
