even among 9999ers theres a difference in SKILL that will turn the odds of winning ON average to the highest skilled players.In an average of 10 races, if all are 9900-9999(it has happened sometimes), luck will indeed help here and then.But if one of those 9999s wins 4 or 5 times(and all others none or 1).Well ,there you go.Luck couldnt stop that player from proving that among his "peers" ,he or she is the most skilled.Or..blessed by the gods of luck if you preffer to look at it that way. A luck that will show every time that player takes the control on mario kart.
