BTW who put a banana at the end of RR.

I mushroom'ed myself into it and fell into the abyss...

Edit: Everybody left?

 

[ffdgh]

oh darn a communication error.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Edit: If you play with some guys named 'Greg' or 'Gospel' in the GAF community, feel free to spam items on them.

Your persecution of GAF members with holy nics is only adding to the mounting evidence that you are the devil.

 

[Prinny]

Lobby re-opened, we were only 2 instead of 5 so I left. Sorry for disconnecting Stick Boy.

5 in the lobby right now.

 

[ffdgh]

alright time to reclaim my win

 

[Prinny]

What did you do at the end Greg? Rock in the face?

 

[Saint Gregory]

What did you do at the end Greg? Rock in the face?

Yes

 

[ffdgh]

.....oh for ffs

 

[Prinny]

I'll kill you Greg. I'll make you eat one of your bomb.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Not going to ask who threw that bomb Prinny?

Edit: Sorry if you got caught up int that ffdgh, all of those bombs were meant just for Prinny

 

[ffdgh]

its annoying to play with distractions..

 

[Risgroo]

Holy shit I'm getting crushed

 

[Saint Gregory]

Holy shit I'm getting crushed

Who are you?

 

[Prinny]

Oh it's you penguin, sorry I didn't know.

Let's team up against these humans!

 

[ffdgh]

that's nothing, im getting out lucked....

 

[Saint Gregory]

I'm getting hit by more blue shells while in 2nd place than in first

Edit: Linsanity is killing me right now

Edit2: What in the world happened on RR?

 

[Prinny]

I gave him back what he gave me (3 red shells)

 

[ffdgh]

...
no that was not logically possible

 

[Saint Gregory]

...
no that was not logically possible

What's your side of the story?

....i got trippled....and fell of the track 5 times afterwards >_>

Oh lord, sorry. I thought my best hope was 3rd on that one and next thing I knew I was in 2nd. My mind was kind of blown...

 

[ffdgh]

....i got trippled....and fell of the track 5 times afterwards >_>

 

[Risgroo]

Communication error Oh well, I'll just go to bed before I snap my 3ds in two, haha. Frustration aside, it was fun playing with you guys, and with some practice I should be able to be somewhat competitive. Still, my confidence is shattered, as I thought I was pretty good at Mario Kart :/

 

[Saint Gregory]

...I thought I was pretty good at Mario Kart :/

We all did once :'(

 

[ffdgh]

eh that's enough for meh. ggs
and my confidence is not deterred by cheap items.

Prinny is a dark wizard. The last time we played head to head he got nothing but stars and lucky 7s. I thought I was going to lose my mind

 

[Prinny]

So I'm a demon dark wizard now?

 

[Saint Gregory]

So I'm a demon dark wizard now?

Or the devil... or a penguin... shape shifting is part of your dark powers.

But Prinnies are supposed to be demon penguins!

I rest my case...

 

[Prinny]

But Prinnies are supposed to be demon penguins!

The next MK should have playable penguin (the one from mario 64).

Edit: I'll go eat, I'll come back later.

So I had a conversation about MK7 with my friends recently. They said that the game mechanics are flawed, because now each race is all based on luck. They said they should put snaking back into Mario Kart. Personally while I had fun playing MKDS in the past, I did not find snaking make the game more enjoyable. I did not use it much due to fear of damaging my dpad. What are your thoughts?

 

[Saint Gregory]

I'm still hanging around if anyone up for a round. I'm infinitely easier to beat than Prinny if it helps...

If all racers are equal skill then items will determine the winner and even that balances out if you play enough cups. Every item is defendable and I really haven't found that they help low level players beat high level players. Just the fact that you can get mushrooms while in first fairly often makes the game a lot more balanced than MKWii.

We got a tie last time. We are equals in skill!

Whatever. If you actually raced all the time instead of playing around so much I would never beat you and we both know that

You just have to use your dark side!

Give it up. I may falter from time to time but you won't turn me!

I agree. I'm ~4200 VR, and whenever I see a 12000+VR player come along he finishes 1st most of the time. Would you guys want snaking to return though?

I thought snaking is in MK7 but it's just nerfed so it's not as overpowered as in MKDS. That was the issue that most people had with it before was that it just overwhelmed every other strategy.

 

[Prinny]

Snaking prevent jumping in straight line, that's not fun.

Edit: I can't join you Greg, full room 3 races in a row! 4 now...

Ah yes, you're correct. Are there actual strategies for this game that requires skill, other than drfiting, shortcuts, etc?

 

[Saint Gregory]

I never thought that it was fun and I always wondered why people thought it was worth doing it to win in MKDS. People have issues.

Ah yes, you're correct. Are there actual strategies for this game that requires skill, other than drfiting, shortcuts, etc?

Aside from shortcuts the tracks have different surfaces that play into strategies. There's know when and where to use certain items and the gliders bring in a whole new way to approach some of the tracks too. If snaking existed just like in MKDS no one would both with any of that stuff.

Edit: How could I forget about the coins. People love's beating them out of you which is another great strategy.

 

[SecretMoblin]

Ah yes, you're correct. Are there actual strategies for this game that requires skill, other than drfiting, shortcuts, etc?

Coins are the most notable skill-based addition other than drifting and shortcuts, but knowing how and when to drift, how and when to use items, and how and when to take shortcuts is still the bread and butter of Mario Kart 7.

 

[Prinny]

You see Greg, you won vs a 11k VR.

 

[Saint Gregory]

I didn't even notice you in there. Let me know if you want to jump back out into community.

 

[Prinny]

I'm really sorry about that star, that was because of lag, I tried to not hit you (for once).

 

[Saint Gregory]

You see Greg, you won vs a 11k VR.

Did you see when I bombed myself out of second place near the end of RR? I'm sure that you enjoyed that

I'm really sorry about that star, that was because of lag, I tried to not hit you (for once).

I didn't know that was you.

Spoiler

bastard

 

[Prinny]

After next race.

I hate mirror mode so much. I don't know how I won (twice).

 

[Saint Gregory]

I'm getting used to them now, it's pretty much all you see once you get into the 3500-4000 VR range.

I need to do something about my defense though, one item hit and I go from 1st or 2nd to last. I just can't get the timing on the recovery boost even after all this time (and all those hits).

 

[Prinny]

I'll do my best to push you off track!

Edit: I kept my word! Hahahahahahahahaha lol!

 

[Saint Gregory]

Not very helpful.

 

[Prinny]

As soon as you touch the ground you hold gas.

I try but I'm not doing it at the right time. It'll come to me eventually.

 

[Prinny]

I'll need to bring your dark side out again!

It'll come to me eventually.

Yes... Yes...

 

[Saint Gregory]

I'll need to bring your dark side out again!

Let's not.

Yes... Yes...

My Knicks, fueled by Linsanity, beat the world champion Mavericks today. Nothing you do to me today is going to ruin my mood

Edit: I fall off RR in the weirdest places

 

[Prinny]

Aren't you the one that pushed me at the start? (RR)

That was incidental contact (lies)

Mwhahaha it's working!

I have no idea what you're talking about. I haven't even run over anyone with a star today and I've had several opportunities.
