It's not my fault, Stuntman summons that track! You weren't there last weekend when he made us race it 7 times in a row

Thanks for the run Prinny (I was SPOD). Only had time for one quick race, but i'd like to get into more GAF races.

You screwed yourself on that one Prinny, you would have had 1st if you hadn't knocked me down to 2nd on that last race

But... I can't let you finish 1st
It took me to long to type, I got dropped

Get to a PC, you just knocked yourself off again!

Thinking of getting a 3DS and this game before baseball season starts. Got my radio ordered, and one of my favorite time killers is to listen to baseball and play a mindless game that I don't have to listen and read things in the game and be distracted from what I'm doing in the game or listening to the game.
Anyone have any insight on how it compares to other Mario Karts? I actually haven't played one for a while, the last I had was Double Dash a couple years ago, which was okay, but nothing special IMO. Never played the Wii or DS one. Mario Kart 64 has been my favorite.
Also, how well does the online part do? Does the fact that one of the courses can be glitched to skip ahead now fuck you up completely if you ever want to play a fair game? Can you prevent others from picking that course if you don't want to play it? Just wondering how badly the online is nerfed now. Thanks.

I've only been playing for over a day now but I like the item selection alot more than past MKs. I feel like there's a lot less cheap shots and more skill involved. I'm not an expert in any way though.

Good game, it's almost 1 am here, I guess I should stop and sleep
I'm staying up a little longer to take my frustrations out on WW. See you next time

Ah okay. I've read various reviews, it seems some people are lukewarm on it because it's more of the same type of stuff, but I've literally played no recent Mario Kart. I got a Double Dash Gamecube bundle years ago on clearance and played that, but never played the Wii or DS courses which I understand are the "retro" courses in this one. So it would be all new to me.
How does the online work though, is it possible to avoid playing people on that glitched course?

I've been playing WW a lot and there's way less people spamming it now. Everybody knows about it and everyone knows how to do it so the advantage has kind of been lost.

Yeah but if someone does it and you don't aren't you kinda fucked? That's the thing with online game exploits, it basically comes down to either use the exploit or hope no one does.
Also looking at videos online, are all the races just one off races over and over again? There's no online aggregate scoring for a Cup racing event?
Saint Gregory

I've seen people exploit the glitch and still get beaten by someone who didn't but usually the guy that comes in first is someone who glitched. The best course of action unfortunately is to just do the glitch with everyone else. I do feel bad when someone in the group doesn't do it though.
For cup races you have to join communities. The GAF community isn't as active as others but there's (almost) no glitching and very few intentional dropouts.
TheNatural
My Member!
Ah cool. So the cup races are just like the typical Mario Kart ones? Like getting points for first, second, third, etc and then adding up for the winner after the races?
Saint Gregory

Exactly, They're a lot of fun but I've yet to find a community aside from GAFs where everyone in the bottom tier doesn't drop out after the first race. It really ruins things as there are no bots unless someone get disconnected during the current race and the points drop with fewer racers. Basically whoever wins the first race wins the cup.
We've prayed for Nintendo to patch some of this stuff but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Don't let me get you down though, the game is still tons of fun.

Well if I get in on it I'll join you guys. It might not be for a few weeks though, unless a really good deal pops up soon. Then again, I don't know if people here will even be interested in playing a month or so from now too.
What the hell. At least I won't be the only one who hate that track nowIt's not my fault, Stuntman summons that track! You weren't there last weekend when he made us race it 7 times in a row
yeah, I think I have to play single player a bit more to get better carts. I hadn't quite a chance in one on one against you Or I have just to practice lol. It couldn't be the chosen charakter.
But it was fun and your absolutely right about the amount of people. For me its quite hard to find opponents in the community at the moment, becaused based on the times of most race related posts in this thread, the majority of Mario Kart Gaffers (or Gaffers in general) lives in the united states ^^

Haha, nah you definitely had me on the ropes a couple of times but it seemed like the Slick tires you were using messed up your handling at the worst possible times during our races. ;Pyeah, I think I have to play single player a bit more to get better carts.

I don't think it's just you having trouble finding matches, just that overall activity is pretty low. Going by the 100 player number on the Community leaderboard-thing, it looks like there's a lot less people playing in the gaf community in general. When I last played the game, shortly after my file got corrupted, the number on the gaf community was at 500-ish.

Does information saved in Communities reset after a while?
I ask because, despite having played matches in the NeoGAF community back in December and scoring points, I now have 0 points.
Similarly, the community my close friends and I set up (there's only a few of us in it) still exists but nobody is on the leaderboard there at all and I, once again, have 0 points.

yea, it resets. They want you to keep on your game.
Oh. The thread is over here now. AHA!
Make it happen dude. No one is ever on when I check, and worldwides hurt my brain. It's either a glitch-fest or retro RR again and again with the Japanese Players. Why!?

I support having scheduled races, everytime I look at the community it's empty
this.
i'm on EST , weeknights and afternoons are good for me, though i sometimes play randomly in the morning haha
i've noticed that to lately, nice to see since that map is growing on me and without glitchers its fun.

While this thread belongs on the Community board the move has totally killed interest in the game.
No one on my friends list seems to be playing it online anymore.
But we are playing right now.

I need to stop looking at the minimap, I fell because of it
I saw that coming too, I kept creeping closer to the edge since I saw that you were following LOL

I think that's the first time I've ever been hit by a blue shell you threw. Shows you how one sided our races have been overall

I was glad just to be there after how many times I got hit. I ran right into that peel Prinny left on the glider launch even though I saw it.

Slipped on my own banana, of all things. I threw it ahead of myself after getting inked by someone's blooper!
Haha, yeah it happens. I know it too well!
