| tuoyo said: Mario Kart Wii involves no skill. In the GP on Friday on the Wario dirt track I was leading the whole race until the end of the last lap. Then I got hit by a blue shell. Before I could get going I was hit by two red shells. Then before I could move I was hit by someone with a start. From 1st I dropped to 8th and last when I could virtually see the finish line. Where is the skill in that with 7 people finishing ahead of me that did not deserve to based on skill? |
The skill was in the person behind you who managed to send a red shell at the right time after the blue shell, and indeed considering the person had 2 red shells, the skill in passing (presumably using the other red shell) whoever was in 2nd in the same manouver. The skill is also in the fact that overall you win more than most other people.
To win a race... yes luck is required, it is required in all games, but yes more so in Mario Kart than most, however it's not huge.... and it is certainly not more in MKWii than in past Mario karts, it's just more noticable due to online and the lack of the cop-out """"skill"""" of snaking from MK:DS
