Playing with Mario Kart 8 Data
06/05/2015
We've got a bit of a Mario Kart 8 league going at Buffalo. We almost exclusively play 200cc Mushrooms Only, and it's getting pretty competitive. We decided to keep an Elo-powered leaderboard going to see who's doing the best, but we capture a lot of data such as track, weapons, engine ratings so over time we should be able to see who's best at 200cc, who's best at Frantic (fuck Frantic) et cetera.
Apropos of almost nothing, these are the current position averages for each track in the game.
