@F7F7jin@TSA_57 If I want to hop on Mario Kart, I want to play Mario Kart
Not aimlessly wandering in like the 5th fucking cozy game on the system
I swear it’s done out of laziness so they can be lax with actual game and level design
@F7F7jin@CrimsonSmasher Knockout Tour is great. The issue is that it makes base Mario Kart gameplay worse
And the open world isn’t really enough of an interesting campaign mode
Personally I’d prefer challenges like DS had instead of aimless wandering
@CrimsonSmasher@F7F7jin Arlo says that they felt the need to have a gimmick to make it different from 8
So they force the gimmick which bogs down the actual Mario Kart experience like 3 laps
@drxavie60848658@rigo_VGC@MeninoJardim It does, but people are used to bigger nukes with Heat Wave, EQ, Eruption, Expanding Force, Calyrex moves
Base 80 power is basically Rock Slide and that isn’t reliable damage, it’s more chip damage
@MeninoJardim 1 in 8 parahax doesn’t seem like something you can rely on as much
All speculation rn really doesn’t matter because it depends on what else will be legal
@Mr_EggSandwich@FryeFish@sodapone It’s $10 dude. It’s a game with $10 worth of content and has the Nintendo charm people complain doesn’t exist as much anymore
@iWillTheGamer Yeah man you gotta look at its entire moveset and not just what Showdown says is useable
Pokeaim even mentioned Alluring Voice having a niche
@nontpnonjo@GholstavoFring@glimmerfr I think that they mean is that they came up with a fantastic idea for the core gameplay mechanic but didn’t make a game where it realizes its full potential
@FryeFish@sodapone I have zero issue having paid $10 for it
You guys make a mountain out of a molehill and ignore the actual shit stuff this generation
@JoveGuy@TheYisusOne Raichu X needed an exclusive ability that fit its needs a bit more
It absolutely could see play, but obviously they went too hard on making sure it isn’t really good
@Dorriiaan@bimblor10@Huiddlefish Because elemental attacks were treated like Magic attacks in traditional rpgs
The monsters could use magic, but the normal bird only does normal bird things
@ItachiVgc Showdown is a completely different thing
I’d love more alt formats for random stuff like Showdown does
But Champions is good for what it is attempting to do, it’s just a lot it has to account for
