Coin counter added to the menu.

Coin counter added to the menu.

A full on stats screen would be nice. I'd like to know my win/loss ratio, among other things...

 

[Exentryk]

Only 3 players in the lobby here. Anyone lurking?

 

[Forkball]

Exentryk you ass get out of this world lobby I CAME HERE TO ESCAPE GAF

Lol, sorry. You were in the top of the list in my recents and I thought you were in a GAF race XD

 

[Forkball]

Doesn't matter really, any Rosalina will win every race.

 

[chaosblade]

My Waluigi is a Rosalina hunter. He just isn't very good at it.

Hopping online, hopefully it isn't dead this morning.



Edit: One person?

And they left after one race.

Practiced the shortcut on DK Jungle a little in Time Trial. Beat the staff ghost on my first time trial...

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

I'm hyped for baby wario, baby waluigi, orange diamond daisy and cranky kong.

I see no problems with Baby Waluigi (with a fake moustache) and Cranky Kong. Better than Shiddy Kong by a long shot.

What's the consensus on gliding vs driving? Glide as long as possible or hit the ground as soon as you can? I figured once I finish 3 starring everything I'll do some tests in time trials but wondering if you guys have figured that out already.

Yep.

Hate I've got to go to the Stamps and wait for Miiverse to load every time I wanna figure out which character I've yet to beat GP with.

I guess it depends on your air speed vs ground speed, which are both hidden stats. Personally, I pull back as soon as the glider comes out to glide for as long as possible - feels good overtaking someone on the ground while you're in the air.

 

[jts]

I want Baby Baby Mario... we have to go deeper.

 

[DaBoss]

Is there really no one playing right now?

I too would like the things that should've been in the game at release. The amount of missing content in mystifying.

 

[Rikkun]

Raced a couple times tonight, gonna jump in again now, pls be gud gaf

 

[BGBW]

Tiny bit of DLC I'd actually want, the ability to remove the helmet from the Mii much like the hat in NSMBU.

 

[ohlawd]

I'll play until Nintendo's DE.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

3 Warios in your room Ohlawd?

 

[ohlawd]

3 Warios in your room Ohlawd?

lmao yeah don't remind me

 

[DaBoss]

Alright, joining you guys.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

lmao yeah don't remind me

At least there aren't any Rosalinas....yet.

 

[Twinguistics]

Finally, my account has been approved and I can race against GAF!

I've been lurking for a couple of months now and the lure of the GAF tournament code prompted me to finally register.

After reading in this thread about how great you all are, I fully expect to come last but I'm hoping that it'll be good training to then dominate the Global rooms.

Anyway, I have a question: Is anyone finding the staff ghosts even easier than they usually are? I'm sure in previous Kart incarnations they used to take a fair bit of practice but I'm finding I can beat these after only a few tries. Are there any harder ones to unlock after completing all the default staff ghosts? Please let it be so.

 

[DaBoss]

Having a golden mushroom on RR8 is death.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

You can fire hop with karts... or is it just lag?

 

[DaBoss]

What hit me the second time?

Yes.

[Rikkun]

[ohlawd]

[HypnoDarkrai]

Yes.

With any outside drift vehicle.

Oh thanks, I thought only outside drift bikes could.

[batbeg]

Why is it so difficult to get into a game with you guys, is it a full room when this happens? Wish I hadn't left after a few races earlier now >.<

It's best to join someone who you raced with before through Friends.

EDIT: The boomerang hit me freaking twice.

EDIT2: I don't know how, but I'll take that first, and holy shit there was a 3rd blue shell. We MKWii in here.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Wow, Prob went out of his way just to hit me with a red shell.

 

[DaBoss]

That bomb placement by Hypno...bravo. Even though I got hit lol.

 

[ffdgh]

One hour to go!

 

[daripad]

Is anyone plying before hype time?

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Now I want to check MKTV and see what happened. o_o

 

[ffdgh]

Is anyone plying before hype time?

We're in a 9 person room

 

[Jeff Vader]

Is anyone plying before hype time?

I'll probably get on after the bombs drop.

 

[Azure J]

Is anyone plying before hype time?

I feel like I'll jump on for a bit because after this I'm probably going to be in a hype coma.

STAR. FOX. MY. NIGGAS.

[Razzorn34]

I find all of the heavy class complaining hilarious. This is the first Mario Kart where the heavy class actually shines for once. Lights/Mediums were better in every other iteration. Can't let the heavies have any fun eh?

 

[DaBoss]

Red shell goes after me despite me being in 1st and there being people behind me. >_>

Heavy characters were never unfairly bounced around like pinballs so i don't really know what you're getting at

 

[batbeg]

Got lapped by a blue shell in last place

 

[ffdgh]

Doesn't help that heavies can make better combos than the lower weights.

 

[DaBoss]

OMG, that banana bounced off and hit the other Mario. XD

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

What's going on daripad?
I keep seeing you go around the track like a mad man.

How about letting all the weight classes have fun?
