Oh, Mario Kart Wii takes skill. Its just not the right kind of skill that it should take. It takes tons of memorization and doing everything 'perfect' or else you get stuck in the 'pack'. Which basically is the same as losing in that game.
Claiming you have skill can only go so far. I have plenty of skill and I'm fine at the game. But 'having skill' and 'memorizing the game/all turns/all places to boost perfectly' are two different things. Its like saying you have 'skill' in Smash Bros Melee because you are yet another person who memorized all the timing for fox/falco/shiek and wavedashing. Sure, when you reach that level, you can boast that you've done it. But you've only gotten there through tons of memorization and playing beyond the level 95% of people would tollerate.
Also, like Smash Bros, certain racers are overpowered. And having to literally fight the AI opponents to unlock them is a major pain.
