Wow, people weren't kidding when they said their Mii Plaza filled up after playing a little while. Just checked it this morning and it looks like everyone from the GAF community is in there, plus a bunch of randoms from worldwide matches. At least it's less lonely in there now since I never ever get Street Passes where I live.

Wait, wait, wait. Can I use these Miis in Streetpass Quest?
 
But the guys in second and third are having to deal with item spam from everyone behind them. And you shouldn't be dropping your banana in first unless you're about to hit an item box. Choosing to leave yourself with no defenses is all on you.

I just find it weird that people act like blue shell is the only way to get screwed. How about having three red shells fired at you at once? How about being in third, getting hit by a red shell then getting hit by someone with a star and then finally getting knocked off the side of the track by someone with a bullet bill before you can even recover? Is any of that fair? Happened to me a couple of times last night and I found it way more annoying than a single blue shell. It's Mario Kart, shit happens.
Yeah, removing the blue shell doesn't mean the most skilled racer wins. You can look at that Sega kart racer from last year for proof. Its items were pretty much identical to Mario Kart's, but there was no blue shell-esque item that fucked with players at the head of the pack. So what happened was whoever was lucky enough to escape the initial item clusterfuck unscathed would build a huge, insurmountable lead while everyone else was stuck in a miserable projectile gangbang for the remainder of the race. Battling for a minutes-behind, second place finish is even more unfun than losing your lead to a blue shell. It's just miserable.

At least now folks who wanna play some kinda weird mascot Gran Turismo can join item free communities.

Nope. :(

Makes me wonder if it's a glitch. I mean, no other online games addd Miis to the Plaza, right? What's the point?

No idea, I've never played my 3DS online. It's cool that my Mii Plaza will look a little busier but I really wish I could use them in the quest, I've only streetpassed with about 7 other people :(

Spend your coins dude. I have 300 just waiting for the software update!

I suppose the idea is to move them to the Mii Editor, but doing that removes it permanently from the Plaza.
Really?! That's...stupid.

The official Battle Bom-omb only community is pretty fun! It's like the ultimate skill based battle.

Never knew there was a "Lucky 7" of Bob-ombs, which looks really cool.

I've noticed more than a few times online that I've bumped into people with a star or bullet bill and it had zero effect on them. Netcode seems a lot more iffy vs MK Wii.
 
I hadn't even checked that! It'd be cool if the StreetPass Plaza update this month allowed you to use people you met in communities online... it probably won't though.

On the plus side, Graphics Horse's Horse Mii is yours to keep!

I had Miis added to the plaza from streetpass hits with the Sound Channel. Why those users weren't using Mii Plaza beats me. Guess if Miis are involved in the software they'll pop up in the plaza even if they aren't Mii Plaza hits.

Well I'm on the final boss of the quest game for the second time so I'll slowly beat it in time for the November (haha) update.

It probably means someones connection was shot but just good enough to stay in the race... what you saw was probably the 3DS guesstimating their position on last known data, but they weren't affected on their end, because that wasn't where they really were.

Isn't there an option to add a Mii to the Mii Channel already? Choose a Mii and select Mii Maker.

The Wii version did the same thing, but never to the extent that people could be directly in front of you for five seconds or more and when you finally make contact, nothing happens.
 
Checked my friends list through the game and for some reason amirox appears like 20 times. Anyone else get a similar glitch?

Nope, I did get a strange one though when I was experiencing communications problems -- some people appeared on the friends list as 'Player' -- clearly the placeholder text while it does some asynchronous calls to get the data

3-starring 150 cups is not good for my BP. I can finish races in 1st position just fine, but bullshit me with your magic item combination and I won't.

Are there any bonuses for this by the way, or is it a mix of bragging rights and OCD appeasement?

Also, need more Euro 3DS friends. Or anyone from the superior time zones. FC: 4725 - 7997 - 9310

You unlock a video of Konno deleting the Waluigi character file while laughing.
 
Heh, it can mess you up at times. My worst was driving straight off the edge of rainbow road because I was fixated on it trying to get the star.

Yeah, it can be a distraction.

Edit: Also, the 3DS needs a Community channel (not the show). Let me log in and check out what gaf's playing, then I can join in if that's available.

Would be awesome.

Can't wait for my copy (ordered from Amazon for $10 thanks to built up credit). My Mii's name is Volc on there, hopefully will have it no later than Wednesday.

I did it last night and got nothing. The star cup was the worst for me- I could maintain a huge lead on the first 3 races but I always accidentally a coma on the Wuhu track, I hate both of them so much... The three stars show up next to your name in the points table after the last race so you don't have to wait to see if you got the ranking.

Wow, people weren't kidding when they said their Mii Plaza filled up after playing a little while. Just checked it this morning and it looks like everyone from the GAF community is in there, plus a bunch of randoms from worldwide matches. At least it's less lonely in there now since I never ever get Street Passes where I live.

Had no clue that would happen. Checked mine and honestly I don't like it. I much rather that space was reserved for just people I street pass. Pointless having them there if I don't get puzzle pieces from them or can't use them in Find Mii. It's really annoying because I've only been able to get one additional puzzle from handful of street passes I have gotten. They've all been from store units as well. :(

Edit:

Didn't realize but there is a setting on by default I think (don't remember setting it myself) that invites Mii characters from other games to the plaza. It's in the Plaza Settings. Turned it off. Now to go through them all and get rid of the recent ones. Ugh. Going to take a while. Have about 60 in there now. Guess I'll do a few at a time.

Created two EuroGAF groups - for use while America works and Japan sleeps, hence 5pm to 9pm (GMT) in the title of the groups. Log on between those times tonight for some pinko commie socialist failing currency bailed out ownage:

EuroGAF racing - 150cc - all items


EuroGAF balloon battle - all items


Quote post for codes.
Also sharing on Google+:

Is a separate group for different time zones really necessary?
Surely if we just have one group per mode then everyone can just join that and play with whoever is on instead of splitting the players between multiple groups.

I don't understand the point of having region specific communities. If we all just use the one community, it doesn't matter if there is no NAgaf on at the time because EUgaf would be on and they'd play with other EUgaf.

Infact, I think it's POINTLESS.

Just had my first Neogaf game! I completely lost, partially because I was making coffee, but had a great time! :)

The community idea is great! I really wish the 3DS had some way to monitor communities from the dashboard, so I could look out for activity whilst playing other games.
 
Yeah I agree about not needing region specific communities. Was getting plenty of games on the main gaf one last night between 5 and 9 in the UK and there was quite a few people from regions outside of europe joining in. If we make them region specific it's just going to discourage those people from joining.

Thanks! I will try to add all of you later today.
 
I hear you all on the region thing... fair enough.

It'd be good if you could view a 'points divided by games' table, I agree that the rankings are pretty much useless.
 
My God, I love this game.

Little annoyances aside (bit of lag here and there, and limited customization of communities), I'm absolutely loving the online, especially since I opted out of Mario Kart Wii.

Added my code to the list. I'm based in the UK, please PM if you add me.

I'm guessing the Mii option is the last unlockable character? I am only missing one slot.

You get it for completing every cup in any CC, I believe.
