Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mario Kart 8 should show by how many items you got hitten

wouldnt that be awesome?

If you finish a race (special in online) i want to see which player was hitten by how many items. So i can justify all this bullshit always happen to me where like every single item in the game hits me and I just cant get a good place because of that, no matter how good im driving...

You can't remember how many times you were hit in a 2 minute race? Also MKTV exist. Not saying a hit counter would be bad, just unneeded.

its more like i want to see who got hitten by how many. So if somebody is 1st place and got 0 hits or somebody is 1st palce and got 6 hits it would say alot about their skill.



The word is hit not hitten. Just saying for future reference

 

But yeah I always feel like I get hit way more than everyone else online so would be useful.

Or luck, hence why just one race isn't enough to say how skilled one is, rather it's determined by how well one performs over a number of races. Also whether you get hit or not isn't always completely luck based either.

Your grammar makes me want to hit a kitten.

Anyway, there are several problems with this idea. One, if those numbers don't help determine who came in which place, there is no point in showing them, as it would only cause animosity. Two, how many times you were hit doesn't mean much, the game is chaotic, and getting hit often helps you,, like getting you better powerups as you fall back. Three, you can avoid getting hit, partly by luck, but more so by playing intelligently, so a high number wouldn't show you got a raw deal and someone who barely got hit and came first had all the luck. The game is well balanced and more skill based than it seems at first and you should just trust that, and try to improve your gameplay.



I love the word "hitten". It should be a real word, dammit!



I actually miss how you used to get race and lap times in the original game. I'd like if that was still there, a sense of accomplishment when you have a fast race or even just a really slick lap.

thanks im not a native english speaker though, maybe we should talk in my language and see how good you are?

 

Mostly you cant prevent to get hit. Like getting a coin as item + redshell, sb fire 3 red shells on you, bullet bill/star hits you, boomerang, piranha plant. You may have like ~30% influence but thats it. its mainly luck based. Even green shells getting from wall to wall...you cant do anythign against this.

It's not really luck based if it depends on the skill of other players. The luck is only in the type of item the opponent who hit you gets.

I'm not a native English speaker either, and I was just making a portmanteau joke. What is your native language? Maybe I indeed speak it. :)
