Is he like the most optimized character and only Japanese people learned this? I see some different karts, but it's mostly the caterpillar.

Just had a lobby where I was the only non-Japanese player and the only non-Waluigi player.

Felt very tryhard >_>

waluigi, roller wheels, wiggler is the "best" stat spread, it is indeed tryhard meta bullshit and it ruined the game.

the same thing happened in 7 with metal mario, monster wheels, and b-dasher, but it wasn't a guaranteed win.

It's not just Japan, I've been watching a bunch of MK8D content over the past few months and Waluigi Wild Wiggler combo is popular everywhere. It's the meta because of the acceleration.

I hate using meta in games so I prefer Luigi myself. I hate even using Fox in Melee.

Waluigi Wigglers proliferate online matches because that combination, along with Rollers/Azure Rollers, have a high Mini-Boost stat AND a very good Max Speed stat.

FWIW, Roy has the same stats as Waluigi.

Waluigi is just superior.

Even I will admit Waluigi is superior to fucking Roy.

But I see. So that's what it is.

I think it's mostly a speedrunning thing. I'm only aware of it because some of the Yogscast have gotten really into it and keep trying to beat each other's times.

That has been the Meta in MK8 since at least 2020, if not longer. It's not unbeatable though.

At least with mario kart 8 deluxe you don't have flame hopping to worry about so the meta stuff is still beatable if you wanted to chill with a lightweight like lemmy or something. Its all about item knowledge and good drifting to get that W.

Now mario kart wii with funky kongs on flame runners poppin' wheelies goin' YEAH every second and then will burn the absolute hell out of you if you ain't using him or two of the other characters who has the stat spread to kinda' sorta' hang with him (rosaline on the flame runner and daisy on the mach bike if my memory is right atm) was annoying as shit. Don't even get me started on mario kart DS snaking.

I actually do like Waluigi though, he's been my go to ever since Mario Tennis on the n64 and his killer net play.

Couldn't tell you why he's apparently so popular in Mario kart 8 tho.

Because the single most baller way to Mario Kart is the Dubillac and Japan knows what's up.

i haven't even tried playing in a long time. the player amount and bringing back 2 items at a time fucked up the balance, imo. Normal MK8 on Wii U was balanced for players having 1 item at a time, and since everyone can hold 2 in DX, you can really get fucked hard and never be able to leave item-heavy areas of the player trail. i might just matchmake in regional from now on and see if the sweatlords are stretched thinner there
