Is this a CHEAP Strategy?? | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

is bagging luck or skill? bagging (sandbagging) involves the bullet bill, star, golden mushroom, mushrooms, or shock (lightning) to make a comeback

Bagging is terrible. Doing it at a supermarket is the worst because everyone is like "no you bag it like this no you bag it like that" I JUST WORK HERE

[theskeletons]

Literal definition of "yeah, I'm a Bitch, but a professional at it"

[UltraDucc]

bagging is not "no skill" but if you show up to my house and we're playing mario kart and youre bagging then youre outta here

[AldenPilling]

Me: getting hit with 8 reds in a row
This guy: you’re just not that good

[Or_is_it_spelled_Charlie]

I don't think it takes no skill but it really takes the spirit out of the game

[BagBagBagBagBagBagBagBag]

i feel like i should have the ultimate say on this issue.

Bro was the kid who said he wasn’t playing when he got found in hide and seek

Bagging is like jumpscaring your opponents. Ideally, it's not going to be cheap.
Edit: dear god I started a war

[HamLover]

I don't think it takes no skill but I do think the fact that purposely losing for several laps in a game that's about racing is a good or in some cases optimal strategy is bad game design.

You seem like the kind of guy to open your eyes during the hide and seek countdown as a kid

[thomasbrouns]

The difference between racing games and Mario Kart is that in Mario Kart you have items. So the items are the main aspect of the game.

[claytondavis]

I think the real issue is that this kind of feels like a design issue.

In a race you’re well supposed to go fast and finish the race in as little time as possible.

Rewarding going slow feels counter intuitive.

"You are not good at this game cuz you got hit"
Blu shell:literally a 100% accurate homing projectile

[genericname_]

Nintendo should implement a penalty for staying behind in a race on purpose or something, or make a cool down between collecting items

[Just_A_Nobody]

This right here is why I still go back to double dash, wii, and ds. It took *FUN* strategies to win

[dibby]

The game would fall apart if everybody bagged

[johndamilkman]

getting hit by multiple red shells doesn't make you bad. you're just being targeted.

[ethandwatts]

I see your point but for me it’s not an enjoyable experience. I see multiple players who race well the entire game then lose out because the track is rigged on the last lap. Almost every race dissolves to who can shock dodge and get a bullet/G mushroom/star combo. No thank you!

[Uggnog]

Bro said "skill issue" in the calmest and most respectful way possible

[VendettaX]

I guarantee you that if you were to speak with the developers of Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe), they'd tell you that this is exploiting a mechanic made to help a struggling player not to be cheesed due to the powerful nature of the item (and the fact Deluxe let's you stack 2 of them.)
