/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

It is going to be a wonderfully good time

>>15785036
That simply means that the strongest Wiggluigi will reign supreme.

>>15785036
>>nearly everybody is switching to Waluigi + Wild Wiggler
Wait how is this a bad thing? This goes against your narrative completely. They are picking a good combo that is easy to control so that they don't have too many embarrassing fuck ups. Also, everyone being Waluigi is pretty funny really.

>>15785036
Is haachama playing or nah?
I feel for her

I don't understand why Hololive doesn't have everyone playing as their Mii? Isn't that way better?

>>15785881
How viable are Miis?

>>15785036
>nearly everybody is switching to Waluigi + Wild Wiggler
Only more new players use Waluigi, not a person switched to him if they participated in the last tournament

>>15785525
If anything, blame Nintendo for have such an unbalanced game for everyone to gravitate towards one setup

>>15785970
I just looked it up and it seems good.

>>15785970
Depends on the Mii I think, but I just dislike having everyone play the same character

>>15786111
It's not a nintendo thing. Every single competitive game in existence is going to have a meta/fotm one way or another and there's not a single game out there that is perfectly balanced.

>>15785036
>Anya streaming
>Seeing Ollie has MK practice on schedule
>Remember that reine is has similar mk practice stream before
>"Look .... Haha"
>Laughing her genmate that doing their practice reps

Why she's so based

>>15785986
Shuba did. She was a Koopa Kid chad before.

Disgusting. Praying at least one of the girls picks metal peach or bowser (any heavy really) and shits on these waluigoids

>>15788557
I recall
>Aqua - Roy
>Towa - Morton
>Marine - Dry Bowser
>Kanata - DK
>Okayu - Wario
>Watame - Boo

>>15787981
Kart aesthetics being tied to stats so you can't even use the parts you want is still a trash concept to begin with. Limits creativity greatly. Crash Team Racing did it better with its cosmetics, even allowed you the pick the driving style of your character so you could play as whomever you wanted to.

>>15788901
it's too hard for the holos unfortunately, and the randomness of marika is liked by them

>>15788726
>Aqua - Roy
Isn't Roy in the meta too?

>>15789585
most heavies are, walugi is just the best among them due to his hurtbox being tinier

Has anyone shown any sort of improvement in the recent practice streams?

>>15790083
watame
gura
kanata her skill but composure is similar to last time

>>15785986
From what I've seen it has been very few JP players that still stick to their original non-Waluigi/Roy mains. Okayu still uses Wario, Kanata still uses Donkey Kong, Watame still uses King Boo, Marine still uses Dry Bowser, and Towa still uses Morton. Unfortunately, Subaru switched from Bowser Jr to Waluigi because Aqua told her to.

>>15788901
MK8D's lack of balanced customization really kills the customization system and potential uniqueness a person can have. It's super redundant to have a large roster of 40+ characters and karts when only 2 or 3 of them are equally useful.

why the fuck is there difference between characters lol

>Get disconnected which is beyond your control
>Disqualified
Retarded.

>>15788901
Yeah but everyone in Nitro Fueled picks the speed engine unless they're racing Turbo Track.

>>15793006
Seethe

>>15788557
>>15788726
Kanata playing as her soul brother

>>15793263
>Implying I'm gonna waste my time watching this trash.
SUISEI WINS LOL

>>15790356
Is there any gameplay utility to those characters over Waluigi? Or are they just playing them for fun?

>>15793519
Think it has to do with size, wailuigi being lanky means his kart is smaller, whereas as someone like wario or king big boo are wider, as a result waluigi using the smallest vehicle in the game can corner better than a wider character.

>>15785036
w-was Sora not invited

>>15793436
This is why EN cucks are a waste of oxygen ^o^

I'm not a nintendofag, what function do coins have in Mario Kart?

>>15785036
>They don’t know that Mr scooty with roller wheels is better

>>15795993
You go faster the more coin you have. This is the easiest way to know if someone is a bit "competitive" at the game. Not aggressively going for coins is like not knowing what the Roshan/Nashor does in LoL/Dota.
This is why it makes me laugh when people say Pekora is good at the game, she just learned about the importance of coins a few weeks ago.
95% of the members don't prioritize coins, only a few are good at the game, the rest is trash tier

>>15796431
>only a few are good at the game
Yeah the driving into walls and "not knowing the track" when there's always a view ahead of turns kinda tipped me off.

>>15790083
Aki, she would always place 12th or 11th if she was lucky. Her practice stream yesterday she place 3rd a couple of times but she stayed between 5th and 7th most of the time.

>>15785036
>fucks your oshi

>>15796841
I wasn't talking about the obvious ones, I'm talking about those the average anon think are good. Ina, Pekora, Luis, Sana and Subaru are shit at the game

>>15798274
>obvious ones
I was talking about all of them.

Aqua wins. Why does it matter?

>>15793345
she's lucky that here meme is top tier here, smash bros not so much

>>15793436
>>15799097
They say as they enter the year of TOWA

>>15799652
Taiga, actually
https://twitter.com/ookamimio/status/1477890547293761539

>>15791764

SMaller characters accelerate faster but have lower top speeds than heavier characters. Of course acceleration matters less hen you arent wiping out and slamming into walls and spend most of the race going at the highest speed possible

>>15798274
>luis
Is that someone from holobr?

>>15800242
Lui from HoloX

>>15800242
Obviously he meant the Mahjong girl from nijisanji

>>15799097

>>15785036
>MK8 was made almost 8 years ago

>>15799097
Are you sure about that?

>>15799097
You spelled Marine wrong

https://twitter.com/tokoyamitowa/status/1478252669915779075

Pre-raceday warm up.

>>15799097
About her. Has she been playing? Or will she be rusty as fuck?

>>15809153
She said she hasn't touched the game, trust it or not is really on you choice

holy fucking based

>>15787247
The fuck, i didn't know mario kart has meta shit. So that's why everyone is playing waluigi.

>>15810042
theres hidden stats on all the pieces that are covered in the wiki, that dont show in the actual game
things like anti-gravity and water speed and turn radius etc

>>15810031

I'm going to feel bad if Watame doesn't make it to the finals, she's actually taking her training seriously

>>15797348
Wouldn’t mind

>>15793519
There are gameplay differences, but it's all really imbalanced. Acceleration also affects how much of a speed boost you get after drifting, so the theoretical idea is that a super light character like Isabelle on Mr. Scooty can try to drift as much as possible and overtake the heavies who have a higher overall speed by using constant strong speed boosts. In practice, this isn't significant enough to overtake heavies, as the difference between the light and heavy drift boost isn't massive enough to compensate for heavies having substantially higher max speed at all other times.

>>15811993
Sounds pointless

>>15785036
This should have stayed a JP only event. Hell, Choco could somehow win the Zak cup due to disconnects

>>15814030
You know that not every ID/EN live in burger country right? And look how smooth the ID/EN MK collab was

>>15790083
Mumei went from "how tf do i play this oh you have to HOLD the A button" to getting in top 3 frequently vs bots
Shes gonna lose but wins most improved

>>15810031
Sheep with the best mentality, now I wanna see her place really high

>>15809153
We only know she played with NASS around Christmas, and then she also played together with nikisei during their offcollab at Subaru's house. Other than that zero lead.

>>15810031
This so cute and autistic with her thinking she can win now

>>15788726
Sana's playing Villager because playing as Waluigi lacks soul.

>>15816136
She's in Group C so the possibility of her making it out to finals does still exist.

All girls are bad at Mario Kart.

>>15810031

>>15816389
All girls aren’t funny

>>15785036
Most Holos will pick Waluigi + Wiggler because chat or other holos told them so. The truth is that just having the best combination is not going to make you automatically better. And while it is true that WaluigiWiggler is the most balanced combination for online play, almost none of the holos are anywhere good enough to really bring out the most out of the combination. Which is why it makes me mad whenever i see a holo who is mediocre at the game pick the combination. At their level of play they are usually much better off playing the thing they are most comfortable on, as there are plenty of other combinations which are also viable or where the difference is barely noticeable for the average player. Instead they all pick the same combination or switch off of the things they like because chat told them so despite having no clue themselves or because other holos do it when those other holos just copied it from each other without even considering if the thing that works for others also works for them.

Why does Waluigi always say Ahoy? Is he an Ichimi?

>>15816389
Ahem

more like waluigi kart

>>15816136
>>15810031
She was always likely to make it to the finals ever since she was assigned to Group C but it's become guaranteed because of the practice and studying she's put in.

>>15826577
But she will also have to remember to steer and not sit on items until they get taken away by lightning.

>>15785036
minato aqua is washed now

suisei's got another shot at this

>>15787247
>cyber slick bottom tier
Why? I've been picking that one for years because it gives the most speed

> I'm wario when I'm in Mario Kart

>>15787247
How come this shitty ass game has two metal Marios but no Funky Kong?

>>15826926
Because Nintendo wanted to have the bigger and more varied roster on their mobile MK to make money off of microtransactions.

>>15810511
Most of the company isn't playing at the level where you absolutely have to play meta to win, she'll be fine

>Aqua switching to Waluigi + Wiggler because she stands out too much when playing Roy and gets targeted
I don't know why I found this so funny

>>15810031
If I didn't feel obligated to root for my oshi, Watame would definitely be my next pick. Best underdog

>>15814973
There were multiple disconnects anon from the ID side and the non NA side of EN. Point is, both branches internet sucks if they aren't in Japan.

>>15828581
>this much tryharding
Literally why? Most of the girls can barely play and the streams will be less interesting if you can't tell who the opponents are.

>>15828581
Does Miko use Roy because he's the top meta or does she use him because he's pink and has sunglasses?

are people overrating luna?

>>15786111
I can not believe how autistic this board is

>>15799097
Not so fast.

>>15810031
>watamates

>>15830033
you answered your own question

>>15785036
As wise Ame would say:
"Well, not my problem"
Expecting a lot of mess on this.

>>15828581
>La+ using the most meta waluigi
>still sucks in the game

I love this brat

>>15830046
Luna is the best gamer of 4th gen.
so ofc people always have rated her high in every game.
But, she needs to be focus and not tired to unleashed the gamer energy

I’ve been watching many holos and I’ve concluded that Suisei is going to win.

Aqua gonna win this

>>15828581
SO CALLED FREE THINKERS

>>15828581
Fuck, too much waluigi whores
I will be rooting for watame and marine this time

>>15828581
>19 using Waluigi
>only 5 of them are actually skilled enough to have even a chance of making it to the finals

>>15788409
don't post here again until you learn to speak english

>>15832320
kek

>>15800623
That's why it's called Mario Kart 8

>>15835007

>>15832056
I am just starting up Aqua Mario Kart vod. Are the chances realistic?

>>15828581
Based Kiara

>>15830133
What? If a game's meta is gravitating towards one or a few strategies, then it is a game design problem.

>>15835342
Case in point: Everyone turning to Roy/Waluigi to win.

>>15820023
I mean, one of the reason they are mediocre at the game is because they don't look up what's a good combination so they automatically pick the most popular one.
You only know there are other good combinations because you are good at the game and did your research.

>>15835385
After one race, ok, Aqua's still got it.

>>15785970
It's decent you can continue to use your blue Mii Gura

>>15828581
>Waluigi
I'm rooting against everyone using Waluigi now. Even Aqua dropped Roy for Waluigi now too. C'mon Okayu, win this shit for Sasaki.

>>15785970
Sasaki won the Niji cup using a Mii.

>>15836188
Everyone had to use a Mii in the Nijisanji Cup. It was in the rules. Of course the winner used a Mii since everyone used one

>>15835793
When I watched the entire thing earlier, Aqua seemed really rusty. Pretty worrying and I heard she's getting another wisdom tooth removed the day before.

>>15832056
I fear she gonna throw the game. Sololive is dead

>>15785036
I dont play childrens games
What makes everyone using the same shit a problem

>>15785036
Ina uses Waluigi because of WAH tho, and most of Waligi players are purple based aren't they?

>>15787247
wtf mario kart has different stats for cars?? never knew that. do holomen know about this?

>>15788726
aqua doesnt play roy anymore she switched to waluigi

>>15828581
>Ina
>Migo
>Kanata
>Okayu
>Mori
>Noel
>Choco
>Mio?
>Marine
>Kiara
Am I missing any other lore picks?

>>15828581
>Kanata as DK
Dangerous levels of based and playing along with the joke at her own expense
>Okayu as Wario
Uncharted levels of based
>Calli as Dry Bones and sometimes Black Shy Guy
Actually following her lore combined with her love of short guys. Somehow the most based choice here as a result
>Nene as Bowser
Understands that Bowser being a protective single father doing his best makes him the best husband
>Sheep as King Boo
Aesthetic as fuck
>Noel as Link
Charmingly in character
>Choco as Peach
Lewd
>Knife ears as Knife ears
lol
>Marine as Dry Bowser
Horny daddy with big bone
>Kiara as Daisy
“She’s the one who looks like ME ME ME”
>Animal crossing girls
Would rather be playing AC but will still go hard as fuck to ruin tryhards day
>Mii girls
Just there to have fun, not sure why everyone isn’t using a Mii
>Yoshi girls
Mumei might be due to egg reasons, but are just typical girls who think he’s cute
>Waluigi girls
Trash tryhards
>Roy girls
The cooler trash tryharfs

>>15826926
Nevermind Funky, the game doesn’t even have Diddy

>>15836786
>wtf mario kart has different stats for cars??
At least since MK Double Dash. Earlier MK iterations only had weight classes (light / medium / heavy) I think.

>>15828581
Ina should be the only lorepick for Waluigi, Shion, Towa, luna, Aqua, Laplus get a purple pass, IRyS kinda does kinda doesn't? Sakamata could take any villain i'd say, but the rest are in it for the meta (Ina included)

>>15799097
I keep telling y'all niggers
AQUA IS RUSTY !
She won't win and i say this as an Aquacrew she my oshi I root for her of course but we gotta be realistic here
unless she has been practicing off-stream i secret and hiding her power levels she won't win

>>15837027
If Ina was true lore she would pick the squid girl

>>15837246
I'll be looking forward to the fapping session I will be having when she cries again

>>15785036
>Everyone picks Wigger
That’s because they all think Kari-Chan is kakkoi

>>15837471
she already said she's gonna cry if she disconnects but why will you fap to this? weirdo

>>15837880
I love emotional and psychological abuse. Its the reason why Suisei is my oshi

>>15826926
Blame Miyamoto

>>15837919
get help

Suisei will win unless Marine, Towa, Luna or FBK sneaks out and wins on points. Aqua is not even going to be on the top 3 and only Sana will be the one EN/ID to be in winners cup just for sheer luck.

>>15839335
Swap FBK with Watame.

>>15837246
Aqua was in contention for top 6 in each of her races, where the difference involves item fuckery. Regarding racing tactics, she's fine. As for a tournament favorite, I'm putting that on Suisei or Marine.

How good is Nene right now? I checked in for one race this morning, before going to sleep. And I seem to recall her getting 2nd fairly easily.

These four are good at Mario Kart. Coincidence?

>>15836270
Exactly, literally every Niji picked the Mii character. Character is OP.

>>15835494
>What? If a game's meta is gravitating towards one or a few strategies, then it is a game design problem.
You are talking about the game where Mario drives a car. The Mario cars game that has auto steering and acceleration options, no less

>>15830033
Mate, you're talking about the girl who said the girls need to stop taking the competitions so seriously, and if they keep tryharding over the sports festival and seethe about the results she's not going to do them anymore.

>>15842546
Said while crying.

>>15842546
>and if they keep tryharding over the sports festival and seethe about the results she's not going to do them anymore.
Based, fuck that stupid festival.

>>15796431
Pekora's shit luck and inconsistent recovery skill means she won't make it past Group B even with knowing about coins.
https://youtu.be/4Mo-eXuUWAI?t=3450
If she's been practicing off-stream it could be a different story though.

>>15828581
Towa has always used Morton Jr. though

People forget that the competition is at 1 pm JST, meaning Suisei will be heavily nerfed since that's the equivalent of 4 in the morning for her

JP is a Metalive with shamelessness
EN/ID can do whatever they want.

First of all, I'd like to apologize to EOP-niki, Towa's program sucks.

>>15846579
Watame, too. She was barely awake in the Bakatare collab on a jst afternoon awhile back.

Reject Funky Bike
Embrace Wigger Wednesday

>>15843148
>???
She said that while building the sports festival. Miko wasn't even competing so it's not like she gave a shit.

>>15828581
Towa is still using Morton and Ame was using Isabelle on Ina's practice stream today.

>>15828581
the craziest part with this is that with the rebalancing in the deluxe version, they could still probably have a decent kart combination with their favorite characters instead of waluwiggler

the big brain idea would be to make their miis large enough to hit the heavy cap then choose a good kart

>>15850511
in fact, I'll link a couple of these for all the guys who were astonished they have tiers in mario kart
https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/mario-kart-8-deluxe-fastest-kart-how-to-build-the-best-kart
https://towardsdatascience.com/the-best-mario-kart-8-character-according-to-data-science-d300dd7a645a
not to mention that each cc tier has it's own level of top speed and acceleration balances, iirc mirror and below is speed prio while 200 is accel handling and brake tech prio

>>15836734
i love my barney duck, but she has no chance just switching to waluigi this close to the tourney

>>15837880
he has to make his penis cry alongside aqua

>>15832056
*AHEM* WE HAVE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

>>15815089
No way after watching how bad she is on Raindow Road. She still noob tier and primer candidate to win the Zako cup.

>>15857064
She didn't know the item button today

>>15828581
>look at the Kart stats
>so many of them detract from handling and mini turbos
What the fuck, Nintendo? It's no wonder people would stick to the two best bikes.

>>15799652
