Something I noticed about the new VR system.

[GENIUS]

In Mario Kart Wii players had a VR stat for how they performed in races, that system was modified slightly when it came to Mario Kart 7. Aside from starting at 1,000VR, the system also rewards and detracts less points. In Mario Kart Wii, it wasn't uncommon for gains of more than 100 but in Mario Kart 7 I haven't gotten a boost that big even when I beat people with over 6000 more VR points than me. While VR never was a good indicator of skill the new system appears to be even less meaningful. I'm also unsatisfied how there is no BR for battle mode, now it is just factored into your VR.

This must be Nintendo promoting Play for Fun(casual) ,over Play for Win(competitive) even more.

Yeah. Gamestop's motto might changed to "Power to the noobs!" at this rate . Not saying casual play is bad but they can't expect everyone to be satisfied without competition.

To me every fanbase is unpleasable. I don't mind it, really, but I kind of find it more like most FPS games now where it tends to depend on how long you've played instead of how much effort you put into your matches. The seeking of competitive is still there, it's just not as powerful as it was in MKW.

I can't say anything technical since I don't have it yet (how is the game?) but just forget VR points, they'll see how good you are by coming in first place all the time.

I'm sorry i I came off as ungrateful. I love the game since it is back to karts only. I miss snaking but I can win without it if needed. I miss the wins/losses from Mario Kat DS since it told you: how long someone played, their overall dominance, and their consistency.
