Yeah, thats what I mean. I didnt read the rest of the post, though sorry.

Please don't be so presumptuous.   You have joined with a 1337 nickname and made your first post which implied that this board is full of children.  Let me guess, you are Superman, who has arrived to take care of all the children?  

What you said is 100% wrong anyway.  It actually becomes harder to adapt to change as you get into old age but hopefully nobody on these boards is that old yet!

Welcome. I think remember racing against you or seeing you in one of the regional top 10s. Name sounds familiar.

i was kinda dislike the bikes at the beginning, but after a while i seemed to like them very much it's a different kind of mario kart game. and i think this will rule

Wow...all those people who cried when they heard bikes would be in the game should be revoking those statements after reading this quote.

That's why MKDD/MK64 have the upper hand forever!

I don't like bikes, but if using one means winning competitions, then I guess I'll have to train with those.

I kind of agree with the tracks thing. I dont mind the tracks in general, but I dont think the corners are designed with the kart/bike handling in mind... Some are wayy to tight and you have to completley miss a jump as well as going wide and taking the corner tightly so you dont end up in the dirt... RWS comes to mind. It works well with the bikes/karts with high drift that can take the corners, but other veichels simply dont have enough handling and high drift to take a corner without having the put the brakes on before hand, and thats not what mario karts about.
Obviously theres no problem when your driving somthing with high drift.

Wow, you guys sure are weird :/
Some people whine about bikes in this game because it's something new, some whine because bikes are better than karts, some whine because there's so little variety in the usable vechiles, some whine because the usable vechiles have different drift mechanics, some whine because most of the vechiles don't look the same as the MK64 karts, but no one seems to care about random moving obtacles, way too good items or wheelie angles screwing up when the angle of the road changes..

Mach Bike also works

But you're talking about VS/Wifi, where "preparation" makes sense. I'm talking about time trials, where by definition you're already wasting a lot of hour perfecting your practice. It's no good if you lose more time just to re-adjust to using the different vehicle as well.

I typically do, but it's fun to mix it up. If I use a kart against a funky kong bike expert, I know I'll lose. The challenge isn't to get first place. It's hoping I can get enough good items to keep that guy close. It's not good or much fun to know the outcome of a race before you start.

I hate Karts, they can't drift worth crap, they're slow, and most of them are ugly.
