@@Paperboy01234 All of them, but mostly the dry bones class. Speed still matters a _little_ - and there's no real downside, since any handling past level 15 is basically useless. Lemmy class would be second place, and baby peach class third place. Acceleration has a small breakpoint at level 20, and the baby peach class is missing one level of acceleration compared to the other baby classes. Acceleration matters more in some game modes than others, but on average it's still better than the negligable handling and _litterally_ useless traction stat (only slippery terrain is the rainy section on the top of the mansion stage lol)

@jaryngillick4494 22 күн бұрын

Apart from one or two needless nitpicks, this list is solid, IMO! The only amendment I really think needs to be made is that the 'Cat Peach' class should be moved into the 'Good' tier with the 'Rosilna' class (and debatable in which order between the two), and the 'Mario' and 'Luigi' classes moved into the 'Borderline Meta' tier (or frankly just put at the bottom of 'Meta'). Short explanation: You've basically insisted that the 'Mario/Luigi' classes can only function on 'Mr. Scooty', robbing them of their natural higher Speed, rather than on 'Teddy Buggy'. Putting 'Mario/Luigi' on 'Teddy Buggy' means they trade off one point in Mini-Turbo for one in Speed whereas the 'Cat Peach' class trades off TWO points in Speed for only ONE in Mini-turbo (due to a naturally lower Speed/Mini-turbo ratio overall). But even if you insist on putting the 'Mario/Luigi' classes on 'Mr. Scooty' they still beat out the 'Cat Peach' class on 'Teddy Buggy' in a side-by-side comparison in every Stat except a minor one in either Handling OR Traction (depending on whether you pick the Mario or Luigi class) and a minor one in Invincibility (which you yourself, said was basically irrelevant). Check for yourselves on mk8dxbuilder.com/ if you are interested. DL;DR - 'Mario/Luigi' classes > 'Cat Peach' class.

@jmagicd9831 26 күн бұрын

I'm surprised Yoshi and Birdo didn't get their own tier since there is a difference taking them into competitive vs Peach, Daisy, or Peachette. The latter three will stand out on the minimap for things like target shocks if, suppose that the MVP is on one of those characters. Yoshi and Birdo by comparison blend in to the crowd so your teammate has to track which color you are using, but you don't immediately standout as someone who is safe to hit.

@dravendfr 16 күн бұрын

They really need to include the background stats in the visual comparison in game, especially one as important as mini turbo. This list would almost flip on its head if mini turbo didn’t exist, or, like me, you didn’t know it existed and you were going off of the game stats to make build decisions.

@mkwpatsfan 26 күн бұрын

I think that the superheavies (Bowser class) and the Funky class were left severely underrated because if you are at an anti-gravity section, for some reason, Mini Turbo isn't always the way to go. There happen to be quite a bit of anti gravity sections in the game and some tracks don't have a single area without anti-gravity physics. This type of track also has quite a lot of boost panels.

in my personal opinion, peachette should have NEVER been a part of the yoshi class, and EVERYONE knows diddy does not belong in his class either. what nintendo SHOULD have done is place peachette in the cat peach class and put diddy in the tanooki mario class, that way the characters with them make more sense, and peachette wont be meta and diddy will. Win-Win

@Paperboy01234 26 күн бұрын

Nah, I think it does fine, after all Peachette is a very underappreciated and disliked character, and putting her in the Yoshi class was her only chance at getting used often, sure enough it worked. I do agree with Diddy Kong being in the Cat Peach class, as he would have fit the Tanooki Mario Class much better.

@h3r01cviii5 26 күн бұрын

@@Paperboy01234 yeah but thats the thing, why would you put a character in a certain class just to be used more, like you wouldn't put funky kong in the yoshi class cause he's universally beloved cause that would make no sense, and of any character to make more use of, why peachette? shes bland and boring, has no actual character in the mario universe LITERALLY just being the global image of a power up, and her voice lines are annoying as hell, normal peach and daisy are much better choices to play as then her and the only reason she DOES get used is cause the best mario kart player Kusaan uses her and japanese ppl always have been fanboys of him (also the reason excitebike gets picked so much) i could write multiple essays about why i hate peachette, but i wont do it here cause ik ppl dont take THIS much time to read comments so yeah

@Paperboy01234 26 күн бұрын

@@h3r01cviii5 Peachette has been commonly used a lot when she was released when Wave 6 came out, but it since died down, but she still is used here and there. And having Japanese people follow the “best” 8DX player in the game by doing whatever he does (Except for racing lines and item management) is kind of silly. It should always be noted that anything aside from Yoshi Teddy/Scooty will lower your chances of winning (If not in a lounge setting), and there has been times where he used off meta picks and still wins, but that’s just because he knows what he’s doing. As for Excitebike, so what if it’s his favorite track or something, it’s a very hard track to master, whether you’re bagging or running. Some may say it’s this game’s Russian Roulette track of 8DX for that reason alone. Baby Park and Sky High Sundae have similar layouts but the way the 3 tracks are designed makes the play-style of each track different. One’s a bagger, one’s a runner and one is both. To end this comment off, I get you don’t like Peachette at all, but sometimes you have to accept the reality of other people’s choices.

@Paperboy01234 26 күн бұрын

I should also mention that Kusaan is how Japanese players get their information to being better players, just like how everyone else gets their top information from JPG, Shortcat, Gyrodos, L1am and sometimes even Kusaan himself. I bet even Japanese players even follow the western side of top players provided of course they understand English.
