For anyone wondering I said the word cup 96 times in this video...Also excel spreadsheet with the info is in the description If you guys enjoyed please do consider liking the video means a lot! 😘
-
Most beginner doesn't know this, but you can adjust your height when gliding, and most of the jump you mentioned were hard can be solved by landing early
-
It might have been a better idea to race on 150cc since that’s the standard as far as I’m aware.
-
My soul ascended when he finally learned how to break drift around yoshi circuit 💀 (Great video still!)
-
Tip - Brake drift more. Most of the mistakes you made were go too wide during turns.
-
This entire project must have taken so much dedication from start to finish. Massive respect to you for completing it
-
This man literally played 2,400 tracks for one video, from that effort alone, you’ve earned my subscription
-
You can hold B while drifting to brake drift, letting you slow down and tighten the turn. Additionally, you can hold left or right on the stick while drifting to tighten or widen your drift angle as needed. Most of the turns you mentioned having difficult (particularly the one on Music Park / Melody Motorway) can just be taken as is like this.
-
the one thing I've noticed is you don't seem to go towards the ground in the gliding sections, you often want to get back on the track as soon as possible in the parts where they force you to glide because that's where you're most vulnerable and you can turn more effectively sooner than if you stayed in the air
-
It baffles me that you never figured out you can steer the glider up and down. Just hold the stick forward, and you'll land much faster. On cheeze land, the first chain chomp literally can not hit you if you land early and drive on the ground. On wild woods, you are supposed to land much earlier, so that you can drift through the turn.
-
I'd be interested to see a graph for each track, showing all 50 times with its own points for each run, to see if there's a certain number of runs where you suddenly improve or worsen
-
Holy crap your dedication is insane. Replaying each cup 50 times, in a row, on 200cc??? You’re a beast dude nice job. And great video!
-
Most of these rankings can be explained by skill issue
-
Something that would help based on what I’ve seen is the fact that you can end the glider sections early by holding forward. This brings your kart downwards quicker and makes it easier to start the next turn on Cheeseland or Wild Woods for example.
-
I think this video would've benefitted from the criteria of playing the tracks on time trial to determine their own difficulty, away from the CPUs who mostly have RNG behavior. also I have to inform you about brake drifting, it's very powerful in 200cc.
-
I immediately thought of neo bowser city as the hardest track in the game. It's been my favorite track since mk7 because it's a bowser track that isn't his castle, and the whole cyberpunk dystopia aesthetic is really cool. I've probably played it way more than any other track in mk8, and I have those turns down to a science, but once in a while, even I screw it up and go over the edge.
-
I think the worst thing about those musical notes is that stupid smile on their faces. It's like they were smirking at you after they just flattened both you and your vehicle. While your character can't be killed I can't imagine they'd be feeling too good after that.
-
i did a double take when you said Melody Motorway instead of Music Park 😭 are there regional differences with the names of the courses?
-
One of my favorite 200cc shortcuts is on Yoshi circuit that little spine; you want to drift through that last turn towards the piranha plant and aim behind it. Once you're almost on the grass, you can hop over or mushroom through it! Cuts a good chunk out of the part of the track and if it lands just right all you have to do is drift into the turn with the ramp!
-
Seeing the Special Cup gave me flashbacks from back when I played MK8 on the Wii U. Bone Dry Dunes is a nightmare. Thanks for doing this experiment in the name of science to prove the cup's difficulty Also, 13:00 is peak Mario Kart!
