According to this thread, I need to train hard to win the lottery... :P

lol good one, but seriously though, i disagree, MK doesnt really involve too much skill....and there is nothing wrong with that


And how many times have you actually played the game?

a good number of times, i used to be a huge fan of the 64 version, and ive played the wii version quite a bit, i love it, but i wish it was pushed farther, but either way its a great game, but what is the problem with it not relying on skill? why does it have to rely on skill anyways?...its a good game none the less and its easily accessible to anyone that likes fun racing games

Have you read a single thing that I wrote?  The game relies heavily on skill.

Is it accessible?  Yes, but in order to excel at the game it takes hours upon hours of practice.  It is easy to play but it takes a borerline maniac to master.  This is true with most good Nintendo games.

i have read what you posted, but you just cannot prove the game takes skill just like i cant prove that it doesnt take skill...and you didnt answer my question...so i will ask again...what is the problem with the game not relying on skill?

It could easily be proven that the game involves skill.  If you played any of the people that I mentioned, you would lose unless you have logged at least 100 hours in the game.   I didn't answer your question since I don't have to answer it.  The game does rely on skill.  If it didn't, it would be a completely different game like Mario Party, Rock Paper Scissors, or the latest Prince of Persia game.

Yes.  One question:

Did you know that people that have tempaccounts are cowards?

I have the guts to say whatever I have to say on my one and only account.

yeah there is a lot of skill that goes into mario kart.......that is not to say that sometime luck doesn't play a role because it certainly can, but for the most part the drivers with the better skills are going to win

overall, i would say 80% skill, 20% luck

You should congratulate me. I destroyed the vile red falcon and saved the universe. I consider myself a hero.

it takes very little skill the only part that does take skill is nailing someone in front of you with a green shell...idk how many times I've been winning the race only to get hit with 1000 lightning bolts and 1000 blue shells 2 yards from the finish line and lose...saying this game takes skill is a joke



I was annoyed by the fact that MKWii has a huge focus on doing tricks on motorbikes on huge ramps on corners, that's not even racing.



in the MKWii league we race for 3 GP's thats 12 races, out those 12 races, about 8 of them are usually won by 2 guys brawl4life and JWS, this has been going for months now, they must be the luckiest suckers i have ever seen.
