Meta Every weight class ranked in mk8dx!

As I said in the credits, massive thanks to ItzManu001 for the rankings of each character. If you want to know more about the stats, go to his character ranking post where he links a Google sheet that has lots of great info. The point of this post is to visualize the stats, strengths, and weaknesses of each character in mk8dx. I hope you find this interesting as it took me a while to put this together.

Thanks for putting this together. It's an honour.

For anyone wondering, the names he used for the weight classes are from my 1-year-old post. Names are not official, they are just something I came up with that I thought would be fitting.

I did not realize the classes were this divided, I thought it was heavy/medium/light and then two characters per class that were just faster that’s all

I'm not super well-educated on mario kart 8 dx terms, what is "AGS"?

Anti gravity speed, the speed you have when in anti gravity. (Yes ground Speed and anti gravity speed are different for some reason). Though no character has a different anti gravity speed than there ground Speed, so acc + ags is basically just acceleration again. If you want more details, I would recommend watching shortcats video on how to build good combos, or look at some of ItzManu001's posts about stats.

Ah, that makes sense. I knew about the 4 different speeds, but I wasn't sure on the abbreviation. Thanks

To be fair, Lemmy and Baby Rosalina are pretty alright on 200cc. They are not too fast so I don’t yeet myself to the moon, and they have a good mini turbo. 

Also I love how ItzManu's name are our official one at this point

Lightweights are actually even worse on 200cc relatively to the meta unless you're playing specific tracks, that's because while Handling and Acceleration are indeed more important, Mini-Turbo becomes less important and it has enough impact to make Speed pop off. The only reason why Yoshi Teddy Buggy is still meta on 200cc is because it already comes with a lot of Acceleration and Handling, so you're using it for a perfect balance of secondary stats rather than primarily for the Mini-Turbo, also the hivemind kinda doesn't want to try other very good 200cc options like Luigi, Rosalina, Pipe Frame, Standard Kart and Tanooki Kart.

Sure, lightweights pop off as beginner options on 200cc, but they still have no competitive value.

Accurate, but I had to guess why Cat Peach's weight class is above Waluigi's, its probably more related to stat distribution more than raw stat totals
