[Exentryk]

Looked like the MK Gods were against me on that one, but come good at the end.

 

[Exentryk]

LMAO! Bullet Bill into 1st

 

[Gattuso]

[Exentryk]

Lol, poor Roo

 

[Exentryk]

You guys need to start getting the max boost at the start. I can't stress how important that is to winning races.

 

[Gattuso]

Don't worry, it will be back in Gaming in May 2015.

Spoiler

..a week before Splatoon releases.

Timing was completely atrocious for this thing.
People were playing Bayonetta two weeks prior to release and Smash and Pokémon killed any potential legs it could have a week after.
Not to mention any high profile release at the time for PS4/XONE.

[Enforced]

Anyone up to play? I'll be in frantic.

 

[Exentryk]

I can join. Anyone still around?

 

[Burning Justice]

I'll join for a little while.

 

[Enforced]

Sorry about that ExentryK. Im back in.

 

[Burning Justice]

Well, that bomb stopped me cold.

 

[Burning Justice]

Ahaha, that bank-shot banana at the beginning... Beautiful.

 

[Enforced]

Well, that bomb stopped me cold.

Sorry

 

[nicoga3000]

Is it worth playing online if I haven't 3* all the 150cc stuff yet? I feel like if I can't do that, I won't stand a chance online...

 

[Exentryk]

Ahaha, that bank-shot banana at the beginning... Beautiful.

Wtf was that >_>

 

[Exentryk]

Play online. You'll be fine.

The more you play, the better you'll get.

 

[Dusk Soldier]

yay! something other than last place

 

[Exentryk]

Lol, driving in first holding a blue shell

 

[Roo]

All of us where right there at the beginning.
You only will get better

 

[Burning Justice]

Good timing with that horn... Nice to see the MK gods look out for me for once.

 

[Exentryk]

Haha, let Justice go ahead to take the blue... perfect

 

[Enforced]

Lol ExentryK. You saw that coming, didn't you?
Edit: lol nevermind.

 

[Enforced]

Yay first!

 

[Gattuso]

heading on

 

[Gattuso]

lol

 

[Exentryk]

LOL. Fell off that last jump in Wario mine. -.-

 

[Burning Justice]

Well, I totally fucked that one up.

Bullet Billing through Exentryk right at the finish line almost made up for that, though. Almost.

 

[Dusk Soldier]

I seem to be allergic to first place.

 

[nicoga3000]

Decided to just dive in and play some random matches. I haven't played a Mario Kart game since MK64, so this has been a crazy adjustment. Cornering takes time to get used to. Some tracks feel like you simply cannot drift the turn - having to brake in a kart racer feels weird, but a bit more real. Nothing is more frustrating that taking a corner and falling off the edge because it was too tight to make.

Also, when playing online, I feel like it's 75% racing skill and 25% items. I'm assuming that's normal?

Crazy to think that it's been over 17 years since I've touched a Mario Kart game. Holy shit.

 

[Gattuso]

huh? I don't even know what just happened most of that race. let me reset my router or something.

 

[Enforced]

Good games guys.

 

[Exentryk]

Dales, if I have triple reds behind you while you have shrooms, you don't keep shrooming ahead of me when you get hit.

I NEVER brake in Mario Kart. You just have to figure out how your chosen kart/bike handles (inward or outward drift) and chose the best angle to make those tight turns. The only time I fall down while drifting are in certain spots in Rainbow Road and when trying to use those fiendish shortcuts that are pretty much designed to make you fail.

And yes, it feels like racing skill plays a big role when playing online.

 

[Exentryk]

I don't know why I even bother with that last sc.

Also, GGs Enforced.

 

[Gattuso]

Love getting those triple shrooms from that box

 

[Dusk Soldier]

I didn't even look. behind me.

urg, just destroyed a blue shell

 

[Burning Justice]

Last one.

EDIT: GGs guys! That was fun.

 

[Exentryk]

GGs all.

 

[Gattuso]

that green shell really ruined me that race
