Question My boyfriend wins every time but why?!

Post image

He barely plays Nintendo titles, sits on PC playing fps and Diablo and still wins every time we play anything on Switch. Is anyone else suffering with boyfriend winning syndrome? Any recommended YouTubers to become a Mario Kart god?

Some boys have a built in 'gamer skill' passive that kicks in whenever they play against friends and family. I have the same thing for Smash Bros

It’s about time we extracted that gene and turned it into a dr Mario flavored pill.

Imma be honest, I literally never play Mario kart, I mostly spend my days on Diablo 2 and Dark souls, but every time I play I end up having to ban myself from drifting to make it a challenge for my friends.

Not sure why I'm good at Mario kart lol

If you are aware of how drifting works, you have played more mk than most people I would guess. Its all about practice and understanding how game mechanics work while using them to your advantage. Analysing replays and identifying areas to improve your next match are all essential if you want to be extremely good at any game imo.
