Those worldwide races are a breeze compared to GAFcc

This is kinda OT - but maybe someone had the same problem.

So PAL user here, i bought a WiiU two days ago. Today i bought a MK8 download code from game.co.uk, got the code redeemed it and am downloading MK8 right now. They also showed me the Club Nintendo Code for redeeming the extra game when i checked out from the eShop .... problem is, the Club Nintendo code tells me it already had been used ? Wut ?

How is that even possible, when i just got the code a minute ago. Is this a known problem ?

Edit:

Logged in again and it suddenly worked...weird...really weird.

Did you just try to drop a fucking bomb in my face?

 

[Roo]

Would have been awesome.

That room is godawful though. In a better one if you want to join.

Yeah it sucks but since my VR is so low I guess I'm stuck in those rooms for a while lol
Anyway, I tried to join you but the lobby is full so I'll take a break now. I've been playing for a few hours trying to collect as many coins as possible to unlock the gold glider but no luck so far.. meh.

 

[Laws00]

Got the game yesterday unlocked everyone.

It got easier once I realized I shouldn't use my favorite character and use a HEAVY character

My god I used Toad and barely won everything through on 100cc switched vehicles and stuff didnt work out. Looked at Waluigi saw his stats, used him I mauled everyone

Sad thing was I really wanted to get Rosalina got her like 2nd to last.

Welcome to mario kart 8 where heavies are better than everyone else lol. Goodluck with 150cc and Mirror. The cpu will put up a serious fight.

 

[malingenie]

I got first place with Randoms for the first time ever! It felt so good, maybe one day I will be brave enough to play gaf.

 

[The Real Napsta]

What's the best character for completing 150cc? I've been using koopa troops on the standard bike.

 

[TheSpoiler]

I'm coming for you.

I'm coming for all of you.

Hell might even stream it if I get it tonight.

 

[Roo]

For Grand Prix I would recommed a combo with high accel.
So.. Bowser+Biddy body+button wheels+cloud glider.

 

[blue_phazon]

Rosalina is my waifu

Does regional / worldwide ever go to 150cc?

 

[Rebel Leader]

I don't think so, it stays at 100cc

Does any one know why the GAf tourny is empty alot?

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I always pick custom and select 150cc. Someone on Reddit said if the average VR of a group is 3k+ it switches to 150cc, but I have no idea if that's bullshit or not.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Does regional / worldwide ever go to 150cc?

Apparently if your rating goes high enough, yes.

 

[1up]

Good, I can't stand 100cc. Way too slow.

 

[Kouriozan]

Dunno but that's kinda depressing

 

[Fandangox]

The GAF room used to always have lots of people in the first week. but after E3 its just sort of died.

It's also a weekday right now...
But I get your point, there used to be 1000+ participants at one point and now only 200+

 

[OricWindstar]

Alright, I've had a week off thanks to E3. I hope you guys haven't gotten too good in my absence!

 

[Fandangox]

It's also a weekday right now...

Dunno if you mean this mean there should be more or left players (I myself work on weekends and some weekdays) But before E3 the GAF room hovered around 1500 players, it is at a constant 200 now.

 

[1up]

Let's not vote and wait for more people if there is only 2 of us in the room.

 

[Ryan242004]

Ugh I can't get gold on the last two 150cc cups... Any tips?

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Beat the staff time trials on all the maps, it will help you greatly in 150cc. Knowing all the shortcuts is invaluable.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Use a low Speed high Accel character/kart combo.

 

[Fandangox]

That said, this room is quite lively.

 

[Bumhat]

Yeah, the room's picking up. Get in here! I'm Tom by the way.

 

[SweetDonuts]

If I can get past these errors, I will join online

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Full already?
Wanted to see if my bad luck persisted.

Edit: Hey I was just in this room.

 

[Bumhat]

Oidisco, those backwards boomerangs nearly effed me at the finish line!

 

[Fandangox]

There are 3 things I really dislike.

Getting shoved off the way by a heavy weight.

Getting lighting'd right after I get an item.

and getting hit in a row by multiple people.


SO TELL ME JET.

WHY DID ALL OF THOSE 3 HAPPEN IN

Spoiler

MY SHIP

THIS RACE?

 

[Deleted member 325805]

and getting hit in a row by multiple people.

Honestly I would be all for a very short immunity after being hit, going from 1st to 9th because you get blue shell, red shell, green shell etc in the space of 5 seconds is just infuriating.

 

[Fandangox]

There is already a very short immunity after being hit, it just keeps happening :c.

Also something came up, gotta go for the moment.

 

[Bumhat]

Bloody hell, I think that's my worst Mario Circuit 3 performance ever :/

 

[Roo]

3? e_e

 

[Bumhat]

Isn't it Mario Circuit 3 from the original Mario Kart? I'm probably wrong :/

 

[SmithnCo]

[Incitemaybe]

[SweetDonuts]

[Bumhat]

Oh yeah! Of course, bleh. Anyway that was the cheekiest place steal ever, sorry to whoever was in third!

 

[Incitemaybe]

Well that was a good first race for me

 

[HypnoDarkrai]
