Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (+ Transformed) Is Better Than Mario Kart Franchise

It appears that opponent has officially lost this debate and I will be automatically be selected as the winner by the voters. Opponent has failed to refute my arguments except for my introduction, and after realizing that, opponent has simply chickened out and decided to not debate. Either they are a troll or seriously lack fundamental debating skills that are needed to talk in everyday, simple conversations. As opponent has forfeited not one, not two, but three consecutive rounds simply because they have nothing to refute after being successfully disciplined, then there is no point in attempting to debate any further. This debate was not only a waste of my time, but it also wasted one's energy and thinking that contributed to such strong arguments. Next time, if opponent wants to even attempt to debate (not even to debate effectively or win), they must follow these simple guide-lines in order to do so: -Attempt to refute the main arguments of their opponent. -Learn to not be disrespectful or personally attack opponent (and nothing else). -No forfeiture of debate or it will result in immediate loss. -Have correct spelling and grammar. -Create your own arguments to counter opponent's arguments. -Only join and participate in a debate if you are capable of doing so. As opponent has failed to do even one of these basic steps that are required (not optional) to even achieve the absolute fundamentals of debating, opponent will 100% lose this debate. Again, I will be making hypothetical rebuttals to opponent's hypothetical arguments as last round. I understand that I have contradicted myself when I have argued to not personally attack others, yet that is what the opponent has been only doing. At least I make the very effort to argue and refute alongside with personal attacks to opponent; opponent simply attacks and does not argue nor refute. Perhaps my opponent did not understand this debate, as they have said at the beginning that they will prove how the Mario Kart franchise is better than Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. This debate is about how one franchise is better than the other, not how one franchise is better than only one game. Learn to read my arguments before you make wild accusations of such absurd things. By failing to understand even the most basic of concepts, opponent not only has failed to argue but has also failed to even use the fundamental debating skills that can be used effectively even by young children in elementary school. Opponent has only refuted my introduction and states that I have claimed that Mario Kart is inferior yet have made exceptions to certain games. That is because that even I have to admit how great those hidden gems are and that they outshine the others within the Mario Kart franchise; I have never stated directly nor indirectly that such titles were superior to the Sonic racing franchise - rather, I have stated that all but those select games are bad. The Mario Kart games that aren't are simply better than those that are bad, but still are not able to surpass the quality of the two games in the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing franchise. Opponent may have at least tried to argue that their opponent is absurd and contradicting themselves, by stating that the Mario Kart franchise is bad yet makes exceptions to few games and therefore makes this debate complex and flawed. Unfortunately, that is not how things have turned out and opponent has failed to do even the most simplest of tasks. Though Mario Kart was never praised for having excellent graphics, it still does not let itself get away as it is a racing game. As said earlier, racing, shooting, and sports games must have high quality graphics in order to be played properly, due to them having faster physics, obstacles, and reflexes. As stated previously as well, though the older games may have been released on technologically limited systems, that does not make it acceptable to have terrible graphics as Nintendo has, time and time again, that they can push the hardware to its limits and make the games have gorgeous looking graphics. Simply improving the frame-rate will not help as the game will still look bad with low resolution textures and inaccurate character models. However, there has been some occurrences where shooter games having better graphics actually hinder the performance and gameplay. It creates lag and ironically makes it harder to see when trying to shoot down enemies. This may be true, but racing games tend to keep moving at fast speeds, whether or not the frame-rate/graphics are good or not. And also, the racers and items are not extremely small and/or located at far distances;thus, good graphics will not make this a problem. Shooter games are different from racing games as one does not need to have excellent eye-sight or be able to accurately separate a small object or person within a complex, clustered environment. Racing games are actually the opposite, with the race tracks being large and open-ended, and the racers being large. Even if it is like shooter games, racing games have maps to tell you the location of the racers. I have noticed that my last few arguments were short in quality and quantity. As opponent has failed to recognize this, I have recognized it and will refute them to hypothetically refute opponent's hypothetical discoveries. I cannot deny how revolutionary the Amiibo is. However, when it will be added as a feature in Mario Kart 8, only the Amiibo statues that one has purchased will have great AI; the other CPU opponents will still lack such high intelligence and will still continue to be dumber than the stupidest racers in Sega's rip-off counterpart. So not only does the Amiibo not make all CPU's smarter, but is also a waste of money, effort, and resources that could have been spent on more copies of Mario Kart 8 and Nintendo Wii U consoles (ouch). As with the gimmicks, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed may have based the transformation gimmicks off of Mario Kart 7, but they were implemented well and completely different to make it a new experience. Despite not copying the anti-gravity gimmick in any way, Sega still manages to make the racers go through anti-gravity segments on tracks without the use of such anti-gravity technology to do so. With the transformations, your vehicle actually changes into an entirely new vehicle and changes in both appearance and physics. When in boat mode, the player is riding a boat and is riding over the water, trying to use the waves and calm strides to their advantage, as well as attempting to drift and boost while on water. The boat propeller, though, only allows players to go under-water. Same with the plane mode, except even worse as the hand-glider only glides, while the hovercraft actually allows you to fly like in an aircraft. It also allows you to do barrel rolls to dodge, air drifts, and you must avoid obstacles as well. I hope that I will win ; vote for me as the obvious winner.
