Mario Kart 7 (3DS)

There was three of us not abusing the glitch and we kind of completley item trolled him since he was last to use it. And then someone got him with a blue shell and he came last. It was pretty funny.

Ooh, awesome.

What character and wheels go well with the Blue Seven? I tried Shy Guy and Slim but I seem to come near last so I need some other good combo's including the Blue Seven.

If you dont mind bad handling then use the slicks, but i tried Geekachu's combo of blue seven and sponge wheels and they seem to work.

[PokeTrainerJay]

I don't have the Sponge

[The Joker.]

Ok... try the mushroom tyres.

[PokeTrainerJay]

What character? Heavy? Light?

[Aveil]

....


Does it really matter?

[The Joker.]

light, im not sure about heavy. ATM im trying out MM with the bruiser and roller tyres.

[PokeTrainerJay]

Uhm yes because they make an effect on the stats.

EDIT: I won't be on for the rest of today probably but I'll keep checking in the community if anyone is racing.

[Aveil]

My combo is Daisy + Bumble-V + Mushroom Tires + Peach Parasol.

It's quite good in Speed, Acceleration and Handling.

[The Joker.]

Unless we get more than 3 people online, i think ill pass, im gonna try and improve my VR. Two races in a row, i got blue shelled on the final straight. I call item trolling.

I was racing with a load of guys yesterday who had amazing VR's, the highest being 18,000. So I played a few races with them and on three of the courses I was hit by a flipping blue shell and a general barrage of items- just when I was on the brink of winning. Not good, not good. -__-

Anyway, I'm just saying that I've got absolutely no respect for someone in first place who brakes to avoid a blue shell. It's quite the annoyance, if I were to understate it.

Oh, you would love to race me then.

So like a few minutes ago I passed all the cups things with 1 star and got a star next to my name and I got golden wheels.

I also brake if I'm in first and someone tries to blue shell me. If I seem them get the item pull outta first, if it's too late I pull next to the second place driver.

Had my title change to Bob-omb Ace, so I feel like a boss B)

Just to let you know, the Blue Seven is almost like the Gherkin but with less acceleration and more weight (only a bit). But here are wheels anyway for your Blue Seven:

Feather weight- Mushroom, sponge, wooden, normal.

Medium weight- Red monster, slim, sponge, wooden.

Crusader weight- Roller, slim, wooden, red monster.

Heavy weight- Roller, wooden, red monster.

These are in order from best to worst in my opinion.

Okay, I still believe there are hackers and these 3 reasons are why:

1- I was coming first in Melody Motorway and someone behind me fell off the piano, making me come first by FAR. Suddenly the person that fell off the piano came right in front of me with no falling from the sky, no recovery and out of the blue ahead of me. They even randomly came in front of me on the map on the bottom screen as well.

2- I came first in Melody Motorway and then I came up second on the results with the person who came second on first place on the results page. I quit after that.

3- I was watching a race before mine (where you watch someone race and it says live on the top left corner) and the person I was watching boosted into the grass and suddenly appeared at the entrance of the mansion.

I swear there is no buffering involved here because these people come out of nowhere.

Mighty Arceus, you might want to edit your posts. Plus, I'm sorry to say that your evidence, whilst nicely compiled, is hard to believe considering that you are the lone preacher in this hacking conspiracy.

A driver with true skill needn't be feel so threatened by the blue shell, as items shouldn't play such a huge dynamic in their success, non?

Take for example, I was just on Dino Dino Jungle (Wi-Fi) and I was hit by a Blue Shell twice, yet both times my position wasn't affected. A driver who can't take a Blue Shell is basically confirming that they lack the skill to retain or retake their position. Or they're simply a pussy, so to speak.

Anyway, I hate to seem like a VR elitist but based on two full races I've been in on the Wuhu Mountain Loop...

Average VR's around 5000-6000: 6 people used the glitch
VR's are 8000+ : 3 people used the glitch

Let me put you at ease.

This game has a special kind of lag that doesn't force anybody to stop for a brief second. In fact, what you're witnessing is people racing on their tracks with their characters being close to ghosts in your perspective, since the lag you and they are going through is information trying hard to update with the environment (almost nobody mind this, mind you). This can be a bit maddening when the character next to you isn't getting hit with the Tanooki Tail you're using since they're not really there. You need to time your hits for that. You can only hit them if they do get an item box and break it right in front of you. If they passed through one and yet the box is there, that means lag was at play. FURTHERMORE, it's completely impractical and suicidal to just fall down and appear on the track in a split second.

Stop saying everyone is a hacker. The damn system it's incredibly impossible to hack.
