Why does the MKS WR seriously use Wild Wiggler?


Same stats as pipe frame
I think the pipe frame feels better but the Wiggler looks unwieldy so maybe it's a psychological difference

There is an outside drifting bike with the same stats but the handling feels quite bad
I think hop tech seemed a bit weaker when I tried it as well

Wiggler makes the 4 coin strat at the end easier.

This is me on MKWii a few years ago. XD

There is no way to quickly get better and drop those seconds. Just keep practicing, and look at each part one by one.
Unless there is something specific you need help with, there is no way for people to help. Without a video or description, we can't even know what you're doing wrong.

Perhaps search Google and these forums for already posted guides and such, as a start.

You just gotta play the track (and the game in general) more and more and more and more (and more) and a little bit more and some more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more.......

Sounds intimidating, redundant, frustrating, and it might even sound like bad advice, but honestly, it's the main thing you can do to get better.

You can play for years and still not be a high end player, if you never think about what you're doing.
Much of the necessary learning does require lots of playing, but lots of playing doesn't guarantee it.

I don't get the new sliding that's just been discovered. Downhill sliding is easy, but everytime I do the sliding at a normal path I seem to slow down a lot. Is it kinda like downhill?

I'm the same
I need to practice more but I can't get the timing right and unless I'm really near another ghost it's hard to know if I've done it properly

After you get 10 coins do any coins picked up after that count towards you vehicle unlock total?

Quick Q on 'demon drifts'.

Are they delayed drifted? And are they exactly left/right steer, or is there any quick soft turning?

Dunno what a "Demon drift" it but I think you are referring to sliding after some sort of boost runs out.  Kiss


Nothing to do with softdrifting specifically, you just have to noticeably begin the drift. They must be brief though, otherwise you will slow down quicker and lose utility from further slides. It's better to do them as a delayed drift so that you turn less and keep the kart straighter.




Edit: I have a question. If I delete all wiiu data will it remove my times from the leaderboards? (Thinking of selling wiiu).

It's a possibility. Since when Thurmos deleted his 1:48.150 MW WR ghost, all that was left was his 1:48.266 ghost that he probably resubmitted with this Miiverse post. https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAAABUaW_PutdzA

I haven't time trialed as much as I would like, but the strategies have been evolving it seems like every other week. So got a couple questions on hopping.

Is it prevalent to hop basically all the time? At what points is it not beneficial to do some variation of hopping. Is it track specific? Or can it be generalized into something like say don't hop while going up stairs(that's just an example I don't actually know if it applies)?

What's the difference between neutral hopping and doing the little sway left to right hopping? Is there any difference at all?

^The last thing would interest me too. The "Demon Sliding" or whatever the fuck you want to call it, how the hell does it work?! It makes me slower like 90% of the time, and I can't figure out why.

Also, what is wrong with Electrodrome. This course is absolute pain, I can't get faster laps than 41"2 openers and 39"5 lap 2/3s... is there a point where you can lose extremely much time? I cannot connect my Wii U to the internet at home, that's why I don't have any ghosts to compare... help?

I've been told that to do slides properly you have to press right/left at the last possible moment (a bit like a drift in mk7), but honestly even doing that I struggle to save time with them :/

^ That's not true. Sliding is just initiating a drift, it doesn't necessarily have to be delayed. The reason to delay drift is to keep the kart straighter; it's faster in this sense. If you aren't seeing benefit from momentum slides then you're either:

a) not drifting for long enough i.e. not fully initiating a slide (more akin to a hop and you won't get the same benefit - this is pretty impossible to do though unless you aren't aware that you have to even initiate a drift)
b) drifting for too long on each slide (speed only carries in the initial stage of the drift)
c) not hopping fast enough on your set of five fire-hops, thus the first hop that you go into a momentum slide will already be at a lower speed so there is less momentum to carry.

I need some help with Cloudtop Cruise... I have two questions:

First I'd like to know how to get this boost that peeps get on the first bouncy bit (I guess it's the same strat as in DKJ where I'm also struggling). I've tried to understand this on my own, but I seldom get a really good one. Sometimes I am super slow while tricking on it.
How I do it: I start out the lap by getting a mini turbo by drifting to the right. Then I drift before leaving the ramp and trick as fast as possible when I land. Is this somewhat close to what you're supposed to be doing?

Also, in the end of each lap, I sometimes get a really nice, fast and high glide past the abyss. I don't quite get how I get them, though, I mostly get them by luck at this point. I think I have to drift on the last boostpad before gliding?

1. You have to charge a MT before tricking (softdrift needed)

2. I think you have to hop left or right before glider with very high speed and hold down.

^ Not saying it doesn't help, but since the drift is mainly in the air, you don't have to softdrift. Just make sure you're charging as fast as possible while your angle is locked in the air.

^ This is true. It's a common misconception, you're either charging the MT or not so the question of whether a softdrift is needed is only to do with angles, i.e. the first part of the drift before you leave the edge.

As for the glider section, you just have to hop onto the far end of the blue ramp. The higher your speed (from firehopping on the boost panels) the higher the initial speed is when you leave the ramp, and the better your trajectory.

I'm not well known with this game yet and starting to race on he tt mode. now tell me how do you get the advances cars? fI'm using the standard race cars right now?

And what is best combination?

In other words do you need to start racing any cup and get all 3 stars? or can you get advances cars by just startin tt mode races?

VAJ
