Not sure if anyone is interested in this, but I am, and I like making graphs and watching patterns occur so I did this.
In a legit profile I started back in early August, I decided to track my VR as it stood at the beginning of every race I would play on Wiimmfi (Worldwide). Starting from 5000 VR (of course), I kept my laptop nearby and a notepad document logging my VR after it was calculated and saved at the end of every race. This includes all times I was disconnected from a race and lost VR (which was very rare). This line graph contains how my VR progressed through 476 races, showing all my winning streaks (rare) and losing streaks (far more common). Despite having owned and played MKW for almost 6 years now, I'm not quite an expert at it. Before the Nintendo WFC shutdown, I managed to get my VR all the way up to 9999, but the last 1300 of that was mainly due to dumb luck - I ended up in a room with a 4TL hacker that gave away hundreds of VR, and we both stayed in that room forever. Without the aid of 4TL hackers, I went from 5000 VR to about 8600 VR by myself. I could never get higher than that, I would always have some really bad losing streak that would set me back up to 2000 VR in one night.
But now, on the Wiimmfi servers, I wanted to do it again - see if I could reach my goal of 9999 VR. I haven't even come close. The first 50 races or so was very easy, winning nearly every consecutive race in 1st place. But then, the inevitable struggles popped up and made things more difficult. But still nothing too bad. Reaching 7000 VR and actually staying there, now THAT was a challenge. This is when I started having losing streaks and stagnant VR periods, where I just couldn't get my VR above 7000 but I managed to keep it above 6300 for the most part. I even fell to 5988 VR very briefly, falling below 6000 VR for the first time in a long time. Much later, I got really lucky and surpassed the 7000 VR milestone and skyrocketed up to 7633 VR - just when I thought things were finally going swell - then a horrible losing streak hit. For a while then, losing streaks began to outnumber my winnings. I dipped back below 7000 VR a few times, much to my disappointment. Things seem to be getting a little better as of late.....I'll do another one of these soon.
I would have waited until 500 races to post this, but something else came up (one of my other profiles I used to do the occasional 4TL, and got banned).
Tell me what you think about the graph, and possibly keep this idea to start keeping track of your own VR and post it if you're interested in that sort of stuff.
