Dang, getting shut down hard tonight. I'll be back at it soon though.


Gotta love those matches where you have a time trial for 2 2/3rds laps... then stuff goes to shit and you end up in sixth or worse.

Triple reds or a blue shell. Every freaking time.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Morton let me down

Solution: pick Pink G Peach and play like shit

 

[DeceitDecide]

Started playing the game last night. I love it, it's gorgeous. There isn't a single stinker among the new tracks.

I'm still having a really hard time getting used to the one item thing. Really? I wonder what lead Nintendo to that decision. Finally going back on a change to the core items mechanic that they made for MK64. Weird.

 

[Timeaisis]

Holy shit two in a row.


Edit three in a row!

 

[Acerac]

But you just got 1st.

Yeah, but I ended up in sixth a whole bunch of matches. I should be able compete with the top names, it makes me sad to get shut down by those who aren't.

Joe feels the need to make our new tv purty tho. I'll be back for vengeance soon enough!

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Too tired to do the actual math but considering the probability of someone getting a lightning (roughly seems to be 2 per race) and the time of an average race (about 2 and a half minutes on the generous side), the chances of you being hit in that window is incredibly small.
Then you take into account the probability that a track you hit doesn't have any mandatory glider sections or any sections it has is less than a second long.

Also take into account that since punishment for falling is less strict now, you can pretty much get back in anyway.

It really doesn't matter to me how often it happens. It's just a pointless and potentially extremely punishing frustration in a game that can be frustrating enough as is.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

2nd disconnect tonight. Gonna call it. Back tomorrow for more humiliation

 

[K' Dash]

Was playing son online matches and this happened:

 

[j-wood]

Does anyone else have trouble drifting using the gamepad? Idk what it is but I can drift left then quick switch to drift right without slamming into walls.

Is the Wii u pro controlled the best option?

 

[Papercuts]

Always the third lap.

 

[ffdgh]

Uhhhhhh

Does the Gold Standard handle differently than the Mach 8? I thought they had the same stats. I'm fucking up left and right.

Gotta take into consideration that gold is somewhat smaller so the handling may be a tad different.

 

[ChrisD]

Was that... Two Lightnings in a row? Like in the same moment haha. Lost six coins all at once. Better than them being spread out!

 

[Data West]

Did anyone really ask for all these fucking babies? I want Petey Pirahna, Boo, and Diddy back.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Always the third lap.

fucking lightning in the early game put me out for good

 

[one_kill]

Always the third lap.

Yeah! Seriously! Next OT title should be "Always the third lap."

 

[Acerac]

Did anyone really ask for all these fucking babies? I want Petey Pirahna, Boo, and Diddy back.

Personally I can't wait for Baby Wario and Waluigi. Those would be the only characters that could get me off my koopa kid addiction.

*edit*

Also Booster. That'll never happen, but I'd instalock him every time.

 

[foxuzamaki]

WOO, FINALLY GOT ROSALINA

 

[meitantei_conan]

Well that's it for today. My thumb hurts from pressing the button so hard. haha.

 

[The Xtortionist]

WHY DID I GO FOR THAT

 

[Acerac]

Always the third lap.

Why don't you just get 3 miles ahead with neo-snaking?

 

[ffdgh]

Was playing son online matches and discovered and this happened:

Nice. Same thing could be done in mario kart wii and 7 if you were lucky.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

3rd! Starting out decent!

 

[ChrisD]

Well that's it for today. My thumb hurts from pressing the button so hard. haha.

My right thumb is forming a callous where I hold the button down...

But it's totally okay.

 

[Papercuts]

Why don't you just get 3 miles ahead with neo-snaking?

I get 3 miles ahead without it.

 

[ChaosAngel]

2 red shells, then a communication error. I got blasted off the network.

 

[NetMapel]

Another angry Luigi video

So good !!!

 

[Vylash]

Fun times at Super Mario Highway

 

[Timeaisis]

Same.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Yeah! Seriously! Next OT title should be "Always the third lap."

Yeah im voting for this.

 

[polyh3dron]

Whoever laid down that banana peel right on the launch pad is an evil person.

EVIL.

 

[javac]

HEY HEY HEY accept the power of the Circuit Special

That thing handles like hot garbage for me. It swerves out way too much. Anything other than the Sports Bike doesn't work for me.

 

[K' Dash]

Nice. Same thing could be done in mario kart wii and 7 if you were lucky.

You were there man, Oric too

 

[Acerac]

I get 3 miles ahead without it.

I have to assume since you're succeeding without methods that are established as cheating then you must be super-cheating. I insist that you stop at once and hand me free wins whenever we match up. Thanks in advance.

 

[chrono01]

WOO, FINALLY GOT ROSALINA

I unlocked her today, too. She's my current main.

It's not even for the stats, since DK, Roy, etc. are the same, I just like her character.

 

[FleenerW]

The only thing better than horning a blue shell is having a star when lightning hits.

I've managed to have a star when a blue shell hit me. Absolute euphoria.

INTENTIONAL BRAKE INTO SUPER HORN

PAPERCUTS!!!!!!

 

[Vylash]

How do you guys make gifs from your highlight reels?

 

[ZSaberLink]

Btw, does anyone know if you can get replays of matches you played online? Like through MK8 itself?

 

[K' Dash]

I took a video with my phone, uploaded to youtube and giffed it.

 

[Feltrol]

You know what to do!

INTENTIONAL BRAKE INTO SUPER HORN

PAPERCUTS!!!!!!

He's (Or maybe a she?) annoying as his/her username: Papercuts.

 

[polyh3dron]

Yes, you can save a highlight reel

HEY, FUCK YOU COMMUNICATION ERROR

 

[jmizzal]

Btw, does anyone know if you can get replays of matches you played online? Like through MK8 itself?

All your replays are added to Mario Kart tv, it would be most recent ones, you can also fav replays after matches to find them in Mario Kart tv if you dont know which one it is

 

[The Xtortionist]

I did it lol

it wasn't worth it

 

[Poltergust]

Dodged that Super Horn to get 2nd.

And I just barely missed with the Boomerang. =(

 

[kuppy]

Hahahha, finish line duel with both having golden mushroom, that was funny.

 

[Feltrol]

I did it lol

it wasn't worth it

I'm not trying to be rude, though.

Garbage

Is the only definition for my play

In Pirahna Plant Slide

I fell three times, Gaf.

And then boosted into a wall.

Do it after a win.

It feels like everyone in class is watching you do a presentation in your underwear. ;_;
