Mario Kart 8 Deluxe League 2018 (Final results now in)

[Glen-i]

Remember guys.

Smart Steering is mandatory! Make sure it's on!

oooo guy infront of me on the grid didn't have an antenna

 

Do the antennas even show on the back of the clown cars?

Trying to avoid bananas with smart steering is not easy.

Other people's antennas don't show up in online gameplay.

I can tell through MKTV though, So don't try it.

I suddenly realise the reasoning behind the GP2 tracks. Damn you, yellow tracks!

[BowserBasher]

Fun games but the problem with bananas and bobombs only games is that if you get behind you probably won’t finish the race as the guy in front has no competition and can run away with it forcing the rest to fight it out. When he crosses the line it seems there is only a set amount of time before the game says tats it, I’m calling it now. Takes some of the fun away from stealing places at the end. 

[Glen-i]

Well, that was... Something. Time to check MKTV.

Also, I completely derped and deleted the GP3 results screen on my Switch. Did anyone else get it?

[martinist]

well all in all was a pretty good week. Really tanked on the 3rd GP though. Especially on Rainbow Road >_<

I got it.

BTW, doesn’t look like MKTV displays smart steering for other players, as I’ve just been checking some replays and it only shows up on my Wario.  

Anyway, fun session tonight. Looking forward to doing some highlights.

I thought my Wavebird controller was broken for half of those races...

...then I remembered about the smart steering.

[DazzeL]

Smart steering on Toad’s Turnpike is interesting... turns out you can’t really go anywhere quickly!

 

Enjoyed tonight though I agree with Bowser Basher that the bananas and bobombs does put the pressure on having a good start as it’s a lot easier at the front than at the back.

I can still tell. Sudden sideway shifts that would be completely impossible, (Especially in that setup) other weird movements, sudden slowing down when approaching the edge of a track, stuff like that. It involves a hell of a lot of watching the same race over and over. But trust me when I say I can tell.

Go ahead and PM that results screen to me then, ta.

Highlights from me. Well not many highs to be fair. Lol

While I wait for the GP3 Results, here's some moments from @Dcubed (Left Screen) and me (Right Screen). Most of the funny happens on his screen, except for the last highlight.

Spoiler

Its hard to tell because of the video quality, but first place bounced a bomb off of the Mario Kart sign and nailed the shot perfectly. Amazingly enough, it wasn't @RedShell, even though he probably influenced that move.

Here are the results of the Smart Steering Wario Banana Explosion Extravaganza.

GP1

GP2

GP3

And here's the table.

Last week, I forgot to document the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placings. I fixed that now. Go me! Way to fix dopey me's fudge up! A proper League welcome to @DazzeL, who makes a respectable entrance, plonking himself in the 0.7 point gap between @viceview51 and @Nintendo Fan. The averages are starting to stable for the Perfect Attendance 5 now, so barring any new entrants, the table shouldn't have drastic shifts in the future.

It's the last Thursday of the month next week, so it'll be a Player's Choice night. Usual niceties with the track selection apply.

If you took part in last week's league night, don't forget to turn off Smart Steering. Although, you don't have to. You're free to keep it on if you like, your funeral.

Still time to Sign Up!
