Title: Who's your Best Racer?
Post by: PaperLuigi on July 07, 2006, 12:58:37 PM
No, I'm not asking who the best racer is, but who your best with. For me, it's Donkey Kong, because of his drifting skills. I'm conducting this because I want to know who most people identify with. Like if Luigi gets the most votes, I might try him more often.

I use the ROB-LGS, but I drive it with Bowser.  After you unlock all the karts, is there any reason not to use Bowser all the time?  As far as I can tell, the only thing affected by the driver is weight, and I don't know of any reason to want a light cart.  So I always use Bowser, the heaviest driver.

SPOILARZ!!11!

Anyway, Luigi in his Poultergust 4000 is my favorite kart combo.

R.O.B. and Bowser both weigh the same. Bowser's karts are just slightly heavier.

Anyway, I prefer R.O.B. in the ROB-BLS.

I snake a lot, so my choice is Yoshi in his standard kart.

Like I said before, D.K is my best because I like to drift. Mostly in just the standard D.K.

I misunderstood the question, and I chose Luigi, but use Dry Bones' karts. They work surprisingly well for me.

Well Wario is almost the fastest racer but Luigi is what I voted because he had a good combination between Speed and Acceleration.

Luigi is the best overall I think, but I still rule with D.K.

I voted Yoshi. I usually use him in the Egg 1 because that's when I'm most successful at snaking.

I like using Mario in the Egg 1 because it's good for snaking.

Mario in Standard MR.

I always like to be belanced on all sides.

Yoshi's the only one I be, just because I'm always Yoshi when given a choice.

I played MKDS in a EB Games once, and I was Bowser.  Suffix was right in saying he was decently sized, not to big or small.  I won the race, it was on a very simple track, but I don't remember which track it was.  So Bowser worked for me that one time.

If I were to get the game, I'd probably start with Mario, since he's usually a balanced character.  How I'd switch would depend upon the variety of statistics of each player, which I don't know yet.

I'm with Lizard Dude on this one.
And here's hoping I'll never have to face you in a game like Mario Party.

I'm with LD and Fifth, but I do take stats into account and try out the different characters to get a feel for who I'm best with. With the Mario Karts games, though, I already have an idea of what stats I'm best with: karts with high acceleration. I value that higher than top speed, tracking, weight, etc. Since I can't have good "everything," I like decent tracking/drift (not Peach), not horrible top-speed (not Dry Bones), and decent items. Weight doesn't really play much of a factor in my decision, but I prefer to not have a really light weight. Yoshi in the Cucumber fits most with what I prefer, so that's who and what I choose--and am best with.

I've consistently been best with Yoshi in all the Mario Karts except Double Dash!!.

Pretty much, I'll compromise top-speed for acceleration and weight for items. The rest is fine in the middle.

I pick yoshi simply becasue he is the best.

I voted for Mario because he is usually the most well-balanced character and he's Player One, so it's easy for me to remember who I'm playing as.

I pick yoshi simply becasue he is the best.

Uh... define "best".

I think if it was bolied right down to it, Luigi is most likely the best. But I still like Donkey Kong.

Who's R.O.B?
Title: Re: Who's your Best Racer?
Post by: PaperLuigi on July 20, 2006, 03:08:01 PM
R.O.B the robot? He's an old toy that Nintendo created in the 80's to entertain children. Some people thought it sucked, but today, they're a collectors item. He's a secret character in MKDS, like Waluigi and Daisy.

"Cum" on Yoshi? I don't even wanna know...............
Title: Re: Who's your Best Racer?
Post by: Area 64 on July 21, 2006, 06:10:58 PM
I'm content with using R.O.B. in the Egg 1.
Title: Re: Who's your Best Racer?
Post by: GammaGal on July 22, 2006, 12:46:19 AM
While Dry Bone's Dry Bomber is my favorite cart, I always use Waluigi as my driver. Acctually, it's more like I use Waluigi 99.9% of the time, unless I feel compelled to try out another driver. Which ... obviously, that doesn't happen much. But I'm best with a cart that has supperb ecceleration, and so I sometimes use Yoshi's Egg 1 or Cucumber. And although I've used the Zipper now and then, I'm really not that good with it ... I just like how it looks. XD
