I'm not a fan of the terrible visibility on SNES RR.

And why is it everyone else's triple items can hit me, but mine don't even phase them.

At least you get offensive triple items.

Why hello there 6th batch of triple mushrooms while everyone else unleashes Armageddon around me.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

8 of us are in normal.

Joining. Daisy is hungry!

 

[Griss]

Gah! I hit Nick with the best side-on green shell ever right at the death, only to drive into the back of him and hit his trailing banana! What a finish!

 

[PreyingShark]

What about Heavy/Cruiser + Sport Bike + Slicks? I've been using that or a variation (white Slims previously) since Mario Kart 8 released and it's been pretty damn competitive even when weirdos like Roo and Papercuts actually mastered exotic things like Gold Standard karts for the sake of max speed.

Cruiser + Sport Bike + slicks + accel glider is optimized at 3.0 accel. It's a good combo

A Heavy with that combo, though, has 2.75 accel, which functions the same as 2 accel, so going for the Master Cycle is preferred. It's basically, Master Cycle if Heavy, Sport Bike if Cruiser.

I got 3rd on SNES RR instead of last like I've been doing most of tonigt. I believe in the Wiggler ATV.
Tonight's been fun thoygh; it's my first time playing MK8 with GAF, my first Frantic races, and my first time playing since early September.
I'll probably use Iggy with Circuit Special, Slick, and Bowser Kite, and now Lakitu with Wiggler, Crimson Slim, and the round rainbow parachute.

 

[jorgejjvr]

I'll be down for normal at around 9:30 pm EST

 

[SalvaPot]

Does it have the electric thwomps? CUZ IF NOT... jk i'm buying this regardless

They are star thwops this time. As in powered by rainbow.

 

[Timeaisis]

So how long does this take to download?

 

[Azuran]

So how long does this take to download?

Took me 8 mins to download and 3 to install.

 

[demonturkey]

Bullet Billing and rematerialising into a hazard #FranticProblems

 

[jorgejjvr]

So how long does this take to download?

Couple of minutes

 

[ffdgh]

So how long does this take to download?

Took 15 minutes for the patch and DLC for me.

How do these freaking shortcuts work on ice ice outpost?! >_<

Good to know. I've been Playing Rosalina so long that I forgot about the 2.75 thing for true heavies.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Link tried, but could only place fourth. I guess he got a Tryfourth.

 

[Diprosalic]

i won a race!!

Link in Blue Falcon 4TW

 

[Werewolf Jones]

So which one is everyone in? Jumping around lobbies atm.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

2nd and hit myself with a banana. That was the turning point... D:

 

[Timeaisis]

Damn, that's a quick download. Thanks, all. Will download while I eat dinner.

 

[?oe?oe]

Gah! I hit Nick with the best side-on green shell ever right at the death, only to drive into the back of him and hit his trailing banana! What a finish!

That it twas. haha

 

[SweetDonuts]

Damn that one corner on the dragon course I missed and fell each lap.

 

[Jonke]

I really like what i've tried so far from the first DLC. The new tracks are and feel amazing. ^-^

I'll try to join the tournaments here some day. Getting late over here now, so probably have to be another day.

(New here, sort of)

 

[Grizzo]

6 Link out of 12 people in this room

whoa

 

[DaBoss]

That Toad Harbor race was like pre-DLC frantic.

 

[Diprosalic]

communication error :/

 

[Delio]

They are the best kart combos, yes.

As for bikes, Heavy + Master Cycle + Slicks/Slims + Accel Glider will probably wind up being the best one. This does mean that Heavy + Master Cycle + Triforce Wheels + Hyrule Glider is optimized. It's actually pretty amusing that it works out that way.

Your combo's pretty good though.

That's good to know for the future. Will probably try out the Master Cycle more now.

 

[PreyingShark]

How do these freaking shortcuts work on ice ice outpost?! >_<

First one you just gotta take wide.

As you land from that one, start a right-facing drift, hold left, release, and then you should be aligned for the next one.

For the final one you also just gotta take it wide.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

I forgot how much fun this game with GAF is!
Sorry Tanooki Mario player for the star :/

 

[SalvaPot]

Excite Bike its like a Crazier Baby Park. Also lol, Yoshi Circuit.

 

[Dr Prob]

Ok Yoshi Circuit shortcut is gonna be the death of me.

If you're talking about the jump near the start--yeah, I failed that in spectacular fashion the first few times lol. It helps to drift into it. Quick & dirty gif of the ghost I was losing to last night:

 

[Nicktendo86]

Very fun dlc, managed to win a race k line and did respectable in the others, I seem to have the knack with mk8 even if I'm not great!

One thing this dlc does is make me want is some amiibo, seeing the logo there and empty suits, the completionist in me wants them all!

 

[balgajo]

Does anyone know if people with dlcs maps can't play with other people?

I can't find any room with more than 5 people.

 

[Exentryk]

Aren't two tournaments for DLC only a bad idea? Not only are fewer people going to have the DLC, but there a few people on the lobbies on normal times on the GAF tournaments anyway.

We have 4 tournaments (2 DLC, 2 without DLC). Check the OP and the 2nd post.

 

[Crazy_maniac]

I'm coming in.

 

[Teknoman]

Anyone else getting communication errors when trying to upload to youtube?

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Holy SHIT! Mute City is GOOD!

 

[DaBoss]

I'm laughing so hard here Oidisco.

 

[PreyingShark]

Yeah, that is exactly what I was trying to say! Except the strat now seems to involve tricking there.

I really recommend watching that ghost because it shows how to navigate various parts of this track quickly and efficiently. For example, it shows how to make the neck, the part that usually kills newer players, a joke.

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

Fantastic time playing with you folks in the Normal DLC lobby today—my first long session of online multiplayer since I picked up the game this summer. (I was the Bowser in the Blue Falcon.)

 

[Crazy_maniac]

Can there be an Excite bike only tournament, with 6 laps each? Pretty please?

 

[Saint Gregory]

Um.. where is everyone? I have like 60 people in my FL and only one is online?

 

[Zomba13]

Hopping into DLC Normal in a mo.

 

[Teknoman]

The Error Code im getting is 104-1852 when trying to upload highlights. It'll go through the whole process and then bam.

 

[Vylash]

i really don't like SNES Rainbow Road, it's honestly just as boring as all pre N64 tracks

 

[Grizzo]

Um.. where is everyone? I have like 60 people in my FL and only one is online?

That's weird, you don't see me online? You still have me right? What's your name again?

 

[Saint Gregory]

That's weird, you don't see me online? You still have me right? What's your name again?

You're the one

I tried and it says I can join you though D:

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

HAHAHA Dead Tanookis everywhere!

 

[GWX]

so many red shells (I'm Guilherme by the way)

 

[Roo]

i really don't like SNES Rainbow Road, it's honestly just as boring as all pre N64 tracks

Boring? SNES RR is everything but boring.

 

[Crazy_maniac]

Get bullet billed to the front and then fall off twice. Nice.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Not really much you can do with them in remaking them really otherwise they just wouldn't be the SNES tracks at all.
