| RolStoppable said: Okay, you have a point there. If you make your way forward for a while after getting the item and then use it when you are already close to the leader, it still lasts while you are in first place in offline races. But if you are leading a race for nearly three laps, like the guy who I responded to claimed, how big are the chances that someone behind you is able to pull off a similar strategy so late in the race? |
Supposing you are racing against someone good? About 0%. The problem is most people take being in first to mean they are doing great. Turth is though, you get so hammered in the middle of the pack you should be miles behind first if they are any good.
If the race was that tight, you were only about as good as your competition and then items can become a major factor, yes. This is not a bad player beating a good player. This is two players of similar skill using items to get the edge. I have been hit by 3 blue turtle shells plus a host of other items in the last lap and still gotten first by a wide margin. You don't find luck worse than that.
