I second this.
When can we expect the dlc? Tonight at 12:01 am Es?
Also we are going to have to relearn allows the tracks again and get used to the new mechanics, B button!!! Haha I expect those from gaf that go straight to the gaf tourney with no practice will be super chaotic and we will all be at a lost lol

Why only 9 new Mii Costumes? That'll leave one annoying empty space on the Amiibo Menu...
A Doctor Mario costume could have been fun. A Mii racing in a lab coat.

Maybe 10th character isn't announced yet. (aka Ryu (rumored to be in Smash 4))
Oh, didn't know that.
Missed opportunity to make a bowser jr and or diddy costume to pour salt in the wound.

You only get those characters in supposedly Diddy Kong Racing U.
At least, people can look at Bowser Jr in background in Baby Park if they want to! IntelliHeath

At least, he didn't make a wanted poster of you being IntelliHeath Wannabe. Since your combo is exactly same as mine, I think.

How active is gaf frantic I tried several times last night to join the room and it was empty every time. Seems to happen a lot with me.

If there isn't anyone posting in these threads, the rooms are empty.

You must've came really late then because I had to wait for close to a fucking hour to get into the room because it was full and nobody was leaving. It just suddenly became packed after I left a much smaller room to go eat dinner, too.

Man I remember this community was so busy we had two rooms at times going. I tried at around 9ish PST
Yep, thank you for noticing!At least, he didn't make a wanted poster of you being IntelliHeath Wannabe. Since your combo is exactly same as mine, I think.

What time you try to join? In my experience Kart Gaf tends to clear out around 12-1 EST.

Upon encountering this person: Brake and hit them with all three of your triple red shells. They deserve it.

Did Rebel use Waluigi in session?

Enforced is a competent racer. The thing about him is that he's very short-sighted when it comes to item management. He's the kind of guy who throws his green shells, bananas and boomerangs backwards to mess with someone in specific rather than use them on other random and viable players in front of him.
That strategy backfires 90% of the time so it's a running joke at this point.
Same as Azure posting salty comments every race or me haxing the game, etc,etc.
Nothing personal, just twisted fun lol

So according to GAF, I'm best known for being the Takamaru guy and getting drunk on rageahol during Mario Kart... Neat. :lol
Edit: Curious to hear from top level KartGAF where I stand after seeing Roo's breakdown of Enforced. Poor dude really does play like that only to catch "worst luck ever" syndrome.

Basically, pretty much.
Yeah, I sometime felt that enforced playing it too personal in mario kart, but I have seen some people did same thing.

I prefer my own personal strategy of going, "Could the guy behind me have reds? NAH!", blowing all my defensive items, and then getting nailed by red shells. It's a very solid strategy. I highly recommend it.

Looking forward to seeing this stream since I can never get any races in due to my time/schedule
Congrats on becoming a member, MrPanic.
Now for the real reason I quoted these two. They both use Waluigi, so everyone should hit them with everything.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
There is one more Waluigi user but I can't remember third persons' name. I agreed with you there. Waluigis should be destroyed!
I'm guilty too.Basically, pretty much.

Sometimes I make it personal lol
Nothing a "lol" or "

I only have two or three real strategies that I stick to:
- Whatever everyone does at the first turn or close quarters stretch of a race (especially in Frantic mode), do the opposite. Stay the fuck away from everyone because the item hell is REAL.
- Hang on to crazy items and stars for as long as possible. In the case of stars, the chances of someone having lightning increase exponentially as you hold them. Otherwise just use them to harass people from moving forward.
- Abuse drifts. Seriously, I get "good bullshit" items pretty rarely versus most of KartGAF so all I can rely on is really defensive driving and trying to gain ranks based on cutting corners sharp. It helps especially when you can get the drop on multiple people with someone behind you shooting red shells. Diverting those shells into people lining up behind you is a pretty good thing to learn.

That's not a strategy. That's just not sucking.
Seriously. Mario Strikers U is long overdue.

Alright kart gaf enjoy the new dlc gonna be sticking to playing with randoms. Maybe one day I'll be able to join a frantic room with people in it. Later!
FWIW: The only Waluigi is Papercuts. Dude embodies the character completely. Haven't seen him in the rooms forever though.
Actually, that'd make for a neat thing, who do you all associate with each character in the Kart 8 roster?
Luigi: Roo
Baby Daisy: Hypno
Omnicient: Morton Jr.
Waluigi: Papercuts
Donkey Kong: ViewtifulJC
Rosalina: Enforced
Peach: ffdgh
Bowser: Justice
Link: CoasterFreak
Yoshi: Oidisco
Pink Gold Peach: Kade
Heath: Captain Falcon (Mii)
etc. etc.
Mii: Merrick
Morton: Exentryk
Mario: boutdown/Derek
Royal Raceway says hi! lol
I'm kind of boring
I'm still so upset I never picked up Strikers Charged, especially after hearing that it was really good.
Oh yeah, I get this is done all n good fun. Although I'm sure there is also a bit of actual anger in there lol.
