Well, you could have...

By the way, it's funny to see like the only guy firehopping in the room routinely end up in bottom 6.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

2 times Star in hand and then lightning is used.

 

[ffdgh]

oh whats that? I'll have to to look that up

 

[Omnicent]

Think I'll end on a good note. picked mario race way since its da best

 

[Jagsrock]

jeeeez I got destroyed on that last lap and it all started with a banana.

Edit: ANd it happened again. got nailed by a Banana, two red shells and someone with star power back to back.

 

[Shizzlee]

The game would give me a coin at that moment.

So I've glanced through a bunch of the two OT, at 100pp, looking for people's experiences with off-TV game pad play of MK8. Is it any good? I only ask cos the WiiU is going on some pretty decent sales right now in Australia (basic with Skylanders pack for $179), and I'm mighty tempted to jump in. Most google results are people whining about the implementations of the gamepad during normal use, not so much about it as the primary output. Which I kind of read as to be a good thing.

What say you guys? Thanks

You just squeaked by me on that last one. Damn you! I'm Rudeboy by the way.

Off TV MK8 is great! More often than not that's how I play, unless the kids want to watch me race then I'll put it up on the big screen.

 

[ffdgh]

Err...error?

 

[Jagsrock]

YESSSS my first 1st place on gaf!!!!! Even survived getting hit by a blue shell.

Congrats! Savor this moment.

Basically hopping left and right during a super mini-turbo to extend its duration.

 

[mmxzero]

And with finally getting a first place I'll call it a night, good games everyone!

^ yeah just looked it up and remembered a time trial ghost doing that.

 

[Vylash]

I tried using my secondary waifu Peach and was knocked off of the track by waifu number 1 Rosalina, no more cheating for me, message received

 

[bon]

got hit by lightning after crossing the finish line
jus another day in the life of DK

Not peach's fault everyone else is so fat.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Sorry, this must have been discussed many times already, but...

I notice a phenomenon playing online where sometimes I will hit someone...be it with a shell, Piranha plant, whatever, and they flip over and then are almost instantly driving at full speed again. Whereas when I am hit I always flip over, sit there unable to move, and then slowly begin accelerating.

I thought perhaps it was some kind of timing trick where maybe using a mushroom cancels stopping after the flip over animation, but I've tried spamming mushrooms while flipping over to no avail.

Is this a technique? Or just a latency issue perhaps?

Excellent, that's kind of what I thought (and is also how I expect to use one, if I had one). In that case, I might splurge a tiny bit next week and pick one up.

Cheers!

The latter, based Nintendo

 

[Wired All Wrong]

How that fuck did I come in second on that race. Screw you incite or whatever the hell that symbol garbage is!

 

[Jagsrock]

haha yea. All hail the gold mushroom!

Congrats! Savor this moment.

Thanks. I will forever and always.

 

[Timeaisis]

That blue ;_;

 

[blue_phazon]

Hooray for Pink Gold Peach!

 

[Niraj]

That second place was totally stolen

 

[bon]

Bloopers screw me up way more than they should.
Lost my 1st place lead because the ink made me panic and miss a simple turn.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Bah, storming here so I'm done for a bit. GGs everyone.

 

[ffdgh]

The constant reds is becoming unbearable.

 

[Timeaisis]

I love how someone always decides to blooper during the tree section of mount wario.

 

[Niraj]

I hate mushrooms on that course

 

[Choppasmith]

I'll never figure out how that shortcut works on Music Park.

 

[Gattuso]

I was worried I wasn't going to make it in time

 

[Shizzlee]

How the hell did that red shell hit both of us?

 

[Timeaisis]

That was freaking close, Merrick.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Suck at inside drifting.

 

[jnWake]

A few old races, winning with not heavy characters!

Lemmy stylin'!

Yoshi stealing a win in the last turn!

 

[Exentryk]

Suck at inside drifting.

Are you trying inside drifting bikes?

 

[DooD1234]

I feel like I'm cheating if I'm using heavies like Morton. Anyone feel the same way? Accel seems useless this game compared to 7.

 

[BuzzJive]

Finally! I've had a pretty brutal night.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

I fell off 2 times on Electrodrome.

Useless...well not as good for every weight that's not heavy...

 

[Exentryk]

I fell off 2 times on Electrodeome.

Haha. Yeah, I've done that too. The retro Rainbow Road is extremely bad for this. Good luck learning.

I think I'll try an outside drift combo going forward just to change it up a bit.

I'll probably stick to outside drifting, but it's better to learn both I guess.

 

[Timeaisis]

Do heavies accelerate faster or something?

 

[Gattuso]

landed right on top of ffdgh's green shell and had nothing to defend against that red shell at the end

 

[CO_Andy]

Got my first 1st place finish in a packed GAF race! Sorry Jaime, better luck next time.

I've had my fair share. Nice job

 

[Tripon]

What the hell? You can fly durkng Mario Cercuit?

 

[DooD1234]

I think it more like light character don't move fast enough.
