About Mario Kart 8 Deluxe #2

Are you further away ? If so, did you encounter problems ? In this case, I'll help you a little :

- Do you see the first letters, like U8#*name* for example ? That means he's in a team. If he's all alone, this can go. But when these companions will arrive, it could do very badly for you. If you don't want to lose points because of them, avoid continuing against them and wait a while or go to another server (but they may find you afterwards). Alternatively, have a friend (or several, it's you who decide you) and team up with him (or them).

- Some are extremely strong (shortcuts) and they know too few errors (out of track, errors in the turns). You'll have to have big talents to beat them. Otherwise, have a great chance to win the race.

- Attention to the 200cc ! Yeah, earning points is not obvious when 200cc is there. If you are not ready yet, practice this mode. You can also train in Mirror mode in case.

That's all for the moment.

Sorry for the delay.

I played a lot on MK8D and I learned a lot about it. However, I can't post here yet. Next week, I'll talk to you about the best players on this game I've met.

About Mario Kart 8 Deluxe #1

Do you know that if you start on Online with 1000 ? You meet the weakest or others who start too (only on Mondial and Regional). This is rather ideal to warm up before tackling in the big yard. I advice you to better prepare :

- If you're so bad when you start, there is the Automatic Mode which allows you to better roll, and without falling. On the other hand, there is no more powerful turbo (only purple) once activated this mode.
- If you've played MK8 Wii U, many but you're bad, try to be smarter on the run, or many items will fall on you.
- Keep both items when you're in the lead before passing items '?'.
- Sometimes players have the tendency to go on both items '?', which may or may not disappear for a moment. Be cunning and react faster to take at least one item '?'.
- Be careful if you hold a coin. Without an item that protects you, you'll fall on a red shell and they can catch up on you faster.
- Keep in mind that Boo can troll you. Holding a less useful item can troll a little the player who used that Boo.
- Thanks to Boo, not only you're invisible, but you're also invincible to everything, even to lightings. But avoid using the star when you're invisible, except to take shortcuts. And when you've three shells or three mushrooms, your opponents can notice you, so watch out with that.
- The more pieces you have (Max 10), the faster you go. Go to the safest places if you don't have coins on you.

That's all for now.

MARIO KART 8 DELUXE

(Sorry guys if I hadn't posted that yesterday, I was really sick.)

Since yesterday (or a little earlier for the lucky ones), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is released worldwide. A Mario Kart 8 brand new with a lot of interesting stuff. I'll explain some important details in comparison between the original and the Deluxe version :

- As we can hold two items maximum, we can keep them for later use or just before taking one or two items '?'. However, some are more likely to have a Lighting or a Boo (which didn't appear on the original) and they'll activate them to sow the mess, even the first one will suffer heavy consequences or not.

- It's better to be careful when you cross full of items or people who swing items. If you're so fastly, the chances of being hit will be less than the unlucky ones.

- In the arenas, each have their strong points and weak points. For beginners, it is important to protect yourself (and run away, but well not too huh). If you're not able to beat with the best, eliminate the weaker ones.

- The five modes are quite different. One can be better on one mode than another mode where one isn't good at all.

A lot of things have in this game, but I'll tell you that later, time to make a start, that of the ranking.

One week.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has just released a week before the game be out in the world. However, some are so early and they show us the gamplay of this game. Don't be too jealous when watching videos on YouTube (well, for me, I'm a bit jealous, but that's all). 

Go find them on YouTube by writing "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe". But I still show you a few videos :

I'll tell you more about the advanced techniques and the classification of the Tier List later.

Two weeks

In two weeks, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be released worldwide. Know that it's a Mario Kart 8, improved with adders, including the DLCs that were in the original. You'd have to have the Nintendo Switch console to play this game. Don't worry, returnings and new characters will come on this Deluxe. Even the Battle Mode will be modified for more interest, since on Mario Kart 8, it was a disappointment.

Otherwise, I changed the points and Tier rankings. I'll post it in a week with a little more information about tournaments (not the tournaments we see on Mario Kart 8 huh, Grand Prix tournaments or Battle Mode I mean). However, tournaments won't be available for the first two or three months. Patient.

One mouth.

Hi everybody. We have more than a month left before the world release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Know that there will be few novelties, but eight arenas (instead of four that appeared before the other four arenas) will be present on Battle Mode. What to spice up this mode which was so poor on Mario Kart 8.

DatPags on Mario Kart serie (and their tournament)

I love DatPags and his videos. This guy is really great... Aheu. I show you how he plays on Mario Kart :

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqCLzHIaqb3SEnCAnT9hMoDBJy7ImuwKl

Well okay. Maybe he plays pretty bad, but as he loves to play Mario Kart, I followed him to watch his videos. There is a lot of Mario Kart, but he also plays on Mario Kart 8, and he'll play on MK8 Deluxe, which will release April 28, 2017. Obviously, you have to buy Nintendo Switch. But he'll be delighted to play with us.

Many videos about their tournament are available on this playlist (see above). You can see the videos of other people, as well as mine. And you'll see how we play.

On this, see ya.

Why play I more on MK8 than on Smash ?

On Smash, I'm nil because I feel too aggressive and especially, I take combos in my face or powerful blows. And I can't make pretty combos because I play with my Wii U GamePad. That's why I'm no longer playing Smash.

So I play on Mario Kart, the only series where I can be better (maybe with Wii Serie).

This is my explanation for the fact that I hate to play on Smash, considering my level sucks and my bad luck (this is the same on MK8, but not my talent...).

MK8 DatPags Fan races !

(Sorry if I'm a little too busy, and be late.)

I guess you played well with the DatPags strip on the previous tournament, right ? Well, there will be another tournament, planned for now : https://twitter.com/datpags/status/834433421913030656

The code hasn't changed : It's 5106-2203-8243

Besides, a live is planned on his channel : https://t.co/h1Tojzzcrc

Oh and I'll post something special once this tournament is over. Stay tuned.

Meeting on MK8 and change

You know, I've met many players on Mario Kart 8. There are some who are excellent, others a lot less. And obviously, I'm not the best, see the bests (but my level remains very good despite my bad luck). Review them on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe won't be so simple though that the models of the Switch Gamepad are going to be different than you used the Wii U Gamepad. And above all, you can hold two items.

Otherwise, I changed my title. After all, even if Mario Kart 8 isn't yet dead, I have to change a little. Moreover, the questions and answers can be modified or added. So be patient.

RACE AGAINST US IN MARIO KART !

Meanwhile Deluxe, there will be a tournament on Mario Kart 8. Here is the code : 5106-2203-8243

- 150cc
- No Teams
- 16 Races, every 4th Match
- No COM
- All races, including DLCs

It's Saturday, 1/28, 3-5 PM (EST), 12-2 PM (PST), 8-10 PM (UK).

NEW MARIO KART... Uh, Mario Kart... 8 Deluxe ?

Two weeks ago (and sorry for the delay), Nintendo had announced a remake of Mario Kart 8, named MK8 Deluxe. Maybe Deluxe reminds you of something at Super Monkey Ball, right ?

It's Mario Kart 8, will be released on April 28, improved, but only on Nintendo Switch, the new console of Nintendo, which will be released on March 3 (along with the highly anticipated "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild").

If things have changed a bit (not new circuits), Splatoon's Inklings will be playable, as King Boo, Dry Bones and Bowser Jr (where the latter is missing in MK8, unlike the Koopalings, all present). By the way, Battle Mode will have their own arenas (the MK8 arenas are circuits), which changes a lot.

In addition, if 200cc is present, two objects can be held. Ideal when you have a Golden Mushroom and we touch a "?" just before the end of activation of this Mushroom, for example.

For my part, as if I'm busy, I"ll modify this site, with some improvements and modification. Also, I could do three Tier List at the same time (150cc, 200cc and Battle Mode). Finally, it's to be seen.

The blog will live soon !

Sorry for my absence on this blog, but I'll relive it.

Just to tell you that I'll change some things on these tournaments, as well as the Tier List, soon.

Soon a small tournament before maybe DLC 3 MK8.

A small tournament would be for Monday if possible. I will discuss with Lythero to see if it's possible. If this is the case, here are the rules of the tournament :

- Two GPs, all DLCs.
- 200cc, normal idem.
- Everyone can participate.
- The winner will win 10$. In case of equality, they'll be shared.

- The eight circuits must be different. Otherwise, it'll be a penalty for a person.

- You must remain in the server after the first GP ended.

I remind you that this is not taken account of the Tier List because the DLC 3 is still not out (his trailer too). Nevertheless, I wanted to do it as a test for my Discord (if possible). If you want to go in my Discord, let me know.

On that, see ya.

Ranking MK8 Players

 (WARNING : THIS IS A TEST ! This will be updated later.)

Welcome in the ranking of the best players on Mario Kart 8 in 200cc mode.

You'll find some Streams including that of Lythero. I only counts if they made a full Grand Prix 200cc (four races). Once finished four races, they'll appear on this ranking. There are many Third, a Tier where there are great players, and one where there are beginners or inexperienced players.
 
And you, what is your place ?

God Tier (0 ~ 3,99)

These are players who win a lot of races. They've the reputation of being the best players of the MK8 in 200cc mode. So they're very difficult to beat them.

 - SS : (0 ~ 1,99)

Very talented and very lucky, this sub-tier is the highest sub-tiers. They win a lot and are capable to do 60 points in a GP, in other words, a perfect ! We call "Monster Tier" in this sub-tier.

 - Kimo

 - S : (2 ~ 3,99)

Excellent players. We often see them on the podium and they're usually hard to beat them. Sure, they're slightly less good than the Monsters, but they can make a GP with 60 points. Not to underestimate them.

 - SonicStormCharles

 Top Tier (4 ~ 9,59)

This is the higher Tier after God Tier. In this tier, they've professional players, but weaker than the big players. We often see them on the podium. There are some great players, but they're unlucky. There are some good players (no more), but with much luck. In short, players where it's hard to beat them, but not impossible.

  - A+ : (4 ~ 4,79)

It's God Tier players on Top Tier. Ultimately, they're not as strong as God Tier players in general, but they're still excellent in most times. These are the most dangerous in one of the tournaments where God Tier players are forbidden to participate in this tournament.

 - Sparta_Dog

 - A : (4,8 ~ 7,99)

This sub-tier is where we find very good players. Generally, they're not unbeatable, but they are able to make a correction to the other players, like winning a race for example. Many players have their favorite circuits and are more difficult to beat them on these circuits. The sub-tier has the most players on this tier.

 - Lythero

 - A- : (8 ~ 9,59)

They're not as strong as professional players, but they are able to able to do better. Obviously, they can be very lucky or very unlucky (it depent their way that they play).

 - Phantom X

 Middle Tier (9,6 ~ 15,99)

This Tier where there is the most players. They're good (even very good), but they're not very strong. We usually see them in the middle of the rankings. Be careful, although this isn't a Top Tier, players are able to manage their race. So, the difficulty of beating them is located in the average.

  - B+ : (9,6 ~ 11,99)

Intermediate players. They're managing the race and they're good. It's rare to see them win a race (it's not impossible after all). It happens to see very good players but who have a very bad luck...

 - N1ntend0d0

 - B : (12 ~ 14,39)

Many players are in this sub-tier. They're quite good, but not great. You're able to beat them because they're average. If you're very good, you win more often against them.

 - Robert

 - B- : (14,4 ~ 15,99)

They're, ultimately, good, but sometimes they don't play very well. In short, novice players. They're easier to beat them that B rank players.

 - Emp.Duke

Low Tier (16 ~ 24)

This is the lowest Tier. We'll find beginners or inexperienced players. We often see them in the bottom of the rankings of the race. Obviously, there are players who play in other ways such as motion control Wii U.

 - C : (16 ~ 19,19)

More novice than novice players that we find them on the Middle Tier. They're quite easy to beat them. View them winning a race is something exceptional although very rare (I say this, I say nothing heh).

 - Dracos

 - D : (19,2 ~ 19,99)

Ultimately, they're less catastrophic than the Bottom tier players, but they can't do much better (a near impossible victory, a podium a little less). Anyway, they do what they really do.

 - AU

 - E : (20 ~ 24)

The lowest sub-tier. Either they finish the race, but in the last seats or they often have problems with the connection on the Wi-Fi... In short, players who play like that.

 - vashbell


That's it.

Tournaments on MK8

Hi everybody. I speak tournaments. There are three tournaments, plus a tournament for a training once a new DLC will be on Mario Kart 8.

Tournaments are almost the same, except that some rules aren't the same. I can change them if it's not really suitable.

Anyway, here are the four tournaments :

Best Tournament Ever !

- Two GPs, all DLCs.
- 200cc, normal idem.
- Only God Tier and Top Tier can participate. Middle Tier and Low Tier players are forbidden.
- The winner will win 50$. In case of equality, they'll be shared.
- The eight circuits must be different. Otherwise, it'll be a penalty for a person.

- You must remain in the server after the first GP ended.

No Monster Tier players here, it's too cool !

- Two GPs, all DLCs.
- 200cc, normal idem.
- Low Tier and Monster Tier player (sub-tier on God Tier) aren't allowed to participate in this tournament.
- The winner will win 25$. In case of equality, they'll be shared.

- The eight circuits must be different. Otherwise, it'll be a penalty for a person.

- You must remain in the server after the first GP ended.


It's better when God Tier players are forbidden.

- Two GPs, all DLCs.
- 200cc, normal idem.
- Only God Tier players are forbidden.
- The winner will win 20$. In case of equality, they'll be shared.

- The eight circuits must be different. Otherwise, it'll be a penalty for a person.

- You must remain in the server after the first GP ended.


Training tournament mode.

Tier List - Points on Ranking MK8 Player.

These are points where you'll reap on GPs, in the 200cc mode (remember it takes to finish the four races to be present in the ranking) :

Note that I take the races where there are six or more players who play in a race.

Questions & Responses

What is a MK8 player ?

These are players who play Mario Kart 8, a Wii U game. If you've this game and the console, you can play this game and maybe you will become the best MK8 player.

How to become the best MK8 player ?

That's easier said than done. Because you have to choose a character who suits you best and make the best combination of your vehicle. After, you need talent to win a race, see a GP. If you've favorite channels, you'll have more chance of winning a race.

There are some who are too good. I can't beat them...

It's normal. Many players have bought this game there are more than two years. So they are much better and very experienced. If you are beginner, try play alone or with friends. Be careful, if I'm present in a stream, I'll accept the races where six or more players are present.

Why put the flag of our nationality on MK8 ?

For everyone knows where the players come from. So, for example, if they're Japanese, they're very stronge, times.

In the world, do we play this game ?

In most countries, yes.

Is it normal that, the players who lag ? There are some who teleport. Others are affected by bananas but continue to roll...

Know that this isn't a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. There is no change during a race. Yes, often, it's normal. There are players who their connection has some problems or they've a connection who pass badly.

Do you take 60 points (people who have 60 points in a GP) ?
No. By cons, if they've 60 points, I'll put them a 0. In fact, there will be a ranking. The more you're above, you'll have less points in your average, in ranking Tier List. For example, with 60 points in a GP, you'll have 0. But with only 4 points, you'll have 96...

How it goes in the ranking Tier List ?

Your points that you'll have in a GP or in a few races will be added points that you got before. They'll be divided by the number of your race participation to have the average in the rankings. But know that I will take into account only when if I'm there. And no no and no for replays. Otherwise, it'll be a little cheating.

We want to know who are the best and bad players.

There are Tiers and sub-Tiers in this ranking Tier List. The Tier God is considered the highest Tier, unlike Low Tier. There are several sub-Tiers in each Tier. Their level depent what they did.

Is it possible that the best players aren't allowed to participate in a tournament ?

It would be unfair that they'll not participate. But don't worry. There will be 3 plus 1 tournament for a training whenever a new DLC will be present, who just arrives. The God Tier players can't participate in a tournament. The sub-tier, Monster Tier, two tournaments.

Why will you agree not to take races where there are fewer than six players ?

I'll not accept them because otherwise it would be less balanced for the ranking. Only six or more, and I'll accept them.

Are there various points if we're six or twelve in a race ?

Yes. The points table will be there soon.

Do you agree to take courses, though it's 150cc ?

No. Only 200cc.

I've a problem with my connection and I can't join you because it's full. Are you going to take the players who left the race because of a connection problem ?

Unfortunately yes. Fair, there are some rage-quited who lurk in the corner. So, I accept all the players who participated in this race, including all who left in the middle of the race. I know it seems unfair to you, but with rage-quited...

You'll not watched all the 200cc races, right ?

Of course, otherwise I would be too tired. *laugh*

Why Lythero ? Seriously, there are others who are better known than him.

Hey ! This guy is really a good person and he loves Mario Kart 8. Of course, there are some crazy times like "CRAZY $$$". I invite you on his Twitch. Otherwise, there are others who are very well known, AlpharadTV or Vinesauce.

Last question, who are you ?

I manage the ranking Tier List. My name Carby or Carby_Vin. I'm 25 and I live in France. I play on Wii U and SSB MK8. I'm a fan of Fire Emblem. You can add the Wii U with my NNID : Carby_Vin. But know that for tournaments, I'll be "Milly_Twitch" (unless the people who make them want to create their stream GP 200cc).

---

That's it.  If you've further questions, please send them to me. I'll be happy to answer them.

Welcome, MK8 player !

Welcome on my site !

Here, I'll set a Tier List who involve players having played on Mario Kart 8, ONLY ON 200CC. Indeed, the 200cc is rather more interesting than 150cc because playing with a character heavyweight category is different between two modes, for example.

This Tier List will soon be prepared once a new DLC (third, not yet confirmed but there are chance that this will happen) will be there. I tried to make a Tier List, but it's a little too late (I made a small mistake and I'm unable to fix it, I feel ashamed, sorry guys XD ).

Also, if another DLC, the fourth (if he'll not come out at the same time that the third), will be present one day after the third, I'm forced to remove the Tier List where the LDC 4 isn't present, to balance a little the Tier List, sorry.

That's all for now. I'll make a new section tomorrow for the rules and for tournaments. Hmm ? Tournaments ? Yes, but I'll speak on that one day, so please wait & see.
