Title: MK8 Online Play
Post by Nicholas Joseph Renzetti III on 12/26/14 at 22:37:14

I didnt see a thread made for this yet.

I started playing yesterday and I already have 2.3k VR, im hooked to this game. I saw a guy named Flash who hit 19k VR while I was playing with him, is he on the players page? Also, do any of you guys on here have high VR?

I encountered Mick online once, and he made us all look like 5 year old girls who just got MK8 for Christmas.

My score thing is in the mid 2000s iirc.

What's high VR?
I have in the 6000s or so.
I play about once a week after work, more or less.

high VR is a 5 digit VR, I think
I have around 6000 VR too

Holy shit! Saw a japanese guy online with 98.8k VR!!! I hit 3k VR today and I think I'm pretty good. I was never able to beat that guy, but I was only 2-3 seconds behind him and got 2nd place each race. I think it's because the controls are so similar to MK7

Pretty much everyone with ridiculously high vr plays exclusively in 1k rooms so it doesn't say anything about their skill tbh, to put it into perspective last time I played (around a week or two ago) Alexony, who wws a lot and is very good, was on about 23k
I hit 19k but then stuff happened to the wifi where I live during uni time so I had to stop

Why would people play in 1K rooms, when 10K rooms give them more VR?

they want to be sure to never lose their vr

won't they gain 10 VR a win?

Title: Re: MK8 Online Play
Post by rue on 12/28/14 at 07:55:18

you gain that much anyways when you're at a much higher vr than everyone else, so
gain 10vr never lose
gain 10vr lose often and lose 30vr
your choice
im at 10.4k rn and i've gained around 2-3k in the past week
not playing in noob rooms for a while lmfao

Does anyone know the exact rate at which the number of points you get per win goes down as your VR goes up? I'm at 3.5k and I get 25 VR for getting 1st in a room with 12 people. That japanese guy with 99k VR only got 7 VR.

The least you can gain is 7 VR and the max is around 30-34, you gain less as your VR goes up (obviously) but you start to gain 7 only if you're in 1k rooms, I'm pretty sure in top level rooms regardless you'll gain 15-20VR if they all have 15k+ VR.

Thx rue. Also, there's 'world cups' in mk7 where 2 countries face off over wifi. Do we have that here yet?

the world cup for this year has ended, it'll probably start up again next year after this season of MKU is done

it'll be hosted here:
http://mkboards.com/forums/

or i dont know if your'e talking about the tournament form that doesn't actually include players from the specified countries and stuff, the one im talking about is the select few top players from each respective country battling it out in a tournament, the one online is a randy tournament in game

Thx. I have 1 last question: Let's say someone with max VR was in a room full of people with 2000 or less VR and got last. How much VR would he lose?

Matthias Rustemeyer and I are going to start playing in around a hour. If you are interested to join you should post here, because we will decide depending on the number of players if we start a private room or play regional. Just leave a post ;)

(optional: If you join later, you can also add me under the NNID Chraizy to join.)

I may chime in, have wanted to play with MR and you for a while. I also have you added already!

Edit: I won't be able to join initially, but I might come later on.

You are better off racing against people with true skill because unfortunately Flash uses 5k or lower rooms just to reach max... just weak for him to try such means.... i would not respect him even if he was a regular for such means!!! >:(

however for me i am doing fine... i actually have legit members for my anti-clan punching away at C.M and the public is taking notice... just to say...[/quote]

lol anti-clans...

Referring to the OP, I currently have around 16.5K VR and I normally play with my friends. If I was more active in WWs I could be a bit higher (Around 20K)

I'll be on later tonight (Probably around 10 PM Eastern Standard Time) after everyone goes home. Man, Thanksgiving is a crazy holiday! I'll post my friend code later, I don't know it by heart. Anyone wanna join in?

Is there a list of the people who earned max VR? I know that Nikash is the 50th person on the list from the video he uploaded, but I couldn't find any more info.
