So I'm reposting this here to see how very specific game topic do here and cause the Mario Kart community is basically dead and I'm interested in seeing posts about very specific stuff in other game like Mario 64 parallel universes as a example so sorry if this isn't what the community want's to see.

Which buff do you think had the most impact in wave 4 the Character Buffs, the Kart/Bike/ATV buffs or the Tires buff.

For competitive I think the Character buff had the most impact cause if the parts didn’t get buffed i still think the meta would still be Yoshi but would be a more balanced mix of Inkstriker, Wiggler, Biddy Buggy cause i think the Inkstriker was always good and just doesn't have good synergy with the heavies.

I think a medium weight character being the best is better then a heavy or light character being the best cause if balanced right it’s cause they’re all around good to use (which i don’t think is the case here with the light characters being worse then the dino princess group (Peach, Daisy (HI), Yoshi and Birdo but at least characters lighter than Waluigi are viable now)

While I don’t think the tires buff had any impact on the meta it did stop me from only using rollers as I’ve been using the Standard and GLA tires a lot more then the rollers now.

I honestly feel like some of the parts didn’t need a buff like the Teddy Buggy, Inkstriker or Standard Kart which happen to be some of the new meta and close to them cause they were already good and if characters were balanced properly they would of been seen more often well the Inkstriker at least.
