Yeah we had a string of these last night where this one guy managed to (easily) get first like 5-6 times in a row while 2nd-6th kept loving each other giving 1st place even more space.

This is Mario Kart in a nutshell

200cc is still so stupid. Even gimping my speed as much as I can with a baby character and tons of braking, it's just too fast for these course layouts. At least full cups are over in like under 5 minutes so I can keep replaying them and hope I don't get spamfucked by items the next time.

My Wii U MK8 experience was generally that, if somebody else came in First, then they were like practically a lap ahead of the rest of us, but if I came in first place it was by milliseconds.

So despite rumors and claims Nintendo is purposely creating artificial scarcity for the Switch it turns out that have been using much more expensive air fright from China to try and get as many as they can to people who want one. I'm sure now that this news is out the goal posts from nerds on why the Switch launch is bad won't move at a-

To be fair, 150cc and under teaches you to play in a way that explicitly DOES NOT WORK for 200cc.

If you're a halfway decent Nintendo fan you can close your eyes and play through all of Super Metroid in your memory.

If you mean Metroidvanias, then Blaster Master Zero, kinda. There's also at least one other one coming this year under the nindies lineup.

If you mean those games, specifically, then no.

200cc Baby Park is utter loving insanity and I love it. You have no clue if the guy overtaking you is in second place or just lapped far behind and trying to catch up, and there is no margin of safety behind your rear end, because it is seven laps of pure chaos against everyone :allears:.

lol at some of the voice acting in zelda. Am I way too early at the zora place to get the shock arrows with only 5 hearts because the monster keeps one shotting me or am I supposed to run around collecting arrows and jumping off?

I've been finding that i'll be travelling somewhere fine and then all of a sudden a basic enemy one shots me because its weapons are a far higher level

No that's how the game is, I'm at endgame and monsters will either do chip damage, half damage, or 99% of my health even with fully upgraded armor

Oh I misread, you're supposed to sneak around then jump off or you can be an idiot like me and try to kill it while learning how to perfect dodge in the process

You're supposed to run around picking up his trash arrows and then jump off, yeah. It took me a few trips. Lynels can't be fought unless:
You're later in the game and have a really powerful bow and the upgraded Stasis Rune, or you're like a supernatural prodigy at dodging attacks. Uh, and even then in the latter case you're likely to break all your weapons before he runs out of HP.

Try sneaking instead and grab the arrows off the trees and grass.

Ok thought as much. Is there an actual order you're expected to do the great beasts? I'm doing this one since its the first I've come to

Do not fight that Lynel but also do not fight Lynels at a distance it is a bad idea.

Keep doing Zora Divine Beast first because you'll get something that's insanely useful for newer/bad players

I don't think there's a set order, but it definitely feels like the Rito Divine Beast is the easiest and the Gerudo the hardest, relatively speaking.

There's no mandated order, but to make traveling as carefree as possible, Vah Ruta (Zora) and Vah Medoh (Rito) are the best to hit first.

You can actually kill that first lynel with him not seeing you by climbing one of the rocks and popping him in the back of the head with arrows and hiding when he turns your way

I would say Zora first simply because nearby shrines are where you find all the pieces of climbing gear
