I was small. I saw Timeaisis fall off the bridge. I pass. He comes back and squishes me. And then everyone runs a train on me and keeps squishing my tiny Kong.

I was immune to the lightning. Falling off really helped me out haha.

 

[Niraj]

He means Donkey under the lightning effect... (?)

It was a joke

 

[Fandangox]

I won that one for you Heath.

 

[Freezie KO]

If you only knew what you started after that. I felt violated.

 

[Timeaisis]

It's important that I get summarily knocked out right before I end the race. It would be weird not to.

 

[Roo]

It was a joke

I know

 

[Timeaisis]

That horn was so mean.

 

[Freezie KO]

Good night and good games to everyone. Fun lobby tonight.

Two firsts in a row means I'm leaving on a high note.

That horn was so mean.

You were dragging a red shell! It was the only way!

 

[PadWarrior]

GGs guys see you tomorrow night probably.

That horn was so mean.

Felt like the right thing to do at the time

 

[NateDrake]

Had a few good matches against AniHawk and DaSorcerer earlier tonight.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

Ok so had an awesome night if racing. Got my roommate to try it with the wiimote and we played all night. So I'm late to local multi but there's no option to have one person see the screen and one use the gamepad screen?

Correct. Split-screen only for local multiplayer.

This is classic "fuck, I've slowed down whilst holding a mushroom, better use it no matter what". I've done this so many times where I've pretty much just mushroomed from one wall to another to another zig-zagging across the circuit, haha.

Lmao this is even worse with the gold mushroom cuz you don't want to waste that timer and its ticking down

 

[III-V]

Has anyone dodged a blue shell using a drift speed boost? I have tried a few times with no luck, but I am not sure if it is just my timing.

I have used mushrooms and horns, and I thought it may be possible with a drift boost.

Some Gaffer race highlight reels from earlier tonight:
-

are you playing in another tournament or what? I've never seen these people in the gaf tournament.

 

[C-Sword]

I love the game, but I have a few complaints.

No horizontal splt-screen available. Why doesn't the GamePad have its own display? splitting the TV screen in 4 really sucks.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

are you playing in another tournament or what? I've never seen these people in the gaf tournament.

Yeah, these are private lobby/friends games with some NFL-GAF guys.

 

[Robdraggoo]

youve been playing to much mario kart if:

you attempted to drift while making a left turn at a light and imagined throwing a red shell at the person in front of you on the freeway.

 

[Finalow]

regarding the big jump in Shy Guy Falls near the end of the track, after which you starting flying and you can go up or down, how do you go up and make the jump there without ending in the grass? That was really an awful spot for me.

 

[Item Box]

Am I seeing this right? I'm certain that I crossed the finish line in 3rd place, but somehow got placed in 7th?

Just as I thought my luck couldn't get any worse in this game...

Glide to the right as you start and then glide leftward as you enter the area above.

When driving home from work I dream of using blue shells on slow traffic lol.

Lag/netcode is really bad in this game.

 

[ionitron]

So I need some info. on how to Kart, since I just got the game.

I've been playing online and I've been doing very well for myself, I guess, though I only played about 10 matches. I see lots and lots of bikes, are they generally better? I know they were in other games (Wii?), but I rock my ATV.

 

[Wickerbasket]

I seem to get nothing but coins as an item in this game.

I am truly cursed.

After yesterday's matches, we deserve a break

And I just fired up the game for some online matches.

You Europeans need a better timezone.

 

[Exentryk]

I can join for a few if people are around. Wanna try Frantic?

 

[Currygan]

You Europeans need a better timezone.

true, maybe. Lol


all is not lost, though, I just did a few WW races and fell in love with a French girl named Lorene, with a super cute blonde avatar and a bloodthirst for first place that rivals most of MKGaf

such mastery, such elegance. She even said "Hi!" when I said "Hi!"

 

[Item Box]

true, maybe. Lol

Here, have a replay from a few weeks back.

"Where is the R button on my steering wheel, dammit!"

 

[Finalow]

rip eu-gaf in mk8.

I could play now by the way if anyone's up.

Glide to the right as you start and then glide leftward as you enter the area above.

I should glide to the right before jumping, while I'm flying or as soon as I arrive in that spot?

true, maybe. Lol

I'm pretty sure that the 90% of the female miis you see there are just dudes using a female mii. sorry brah

 

[rekameohs]

I'll be ready to join up in this community this weekend! I'm getting shitted on in 150cc right now after one day of playing, so it may not be pretty, haha.

[Exentryk]

Aim is to dive left as you arrive in that upper area. So when you start gliding, go right and then come in left.

I see. I'll try that later, thanks.

 

[Freezie KO]

Speaking of gliding, I always have a hard time reaching the higher path at the end of Bone Dry Dunes. It's the glider section after the split paths, where one of the paths is an anti-grav section over bones. Any suggestions?

Bounce off the sand geyser that sometimes pops out.

You can do that?! Thanks!

 

[Jeff Vader]

I had to find the thread to say that I had probably the worst blooper experience ever. The damn thing covered so much of my screen right smack dab in the middle.

 

[Saint Gregory]

I'm working on a netcode theory but some feedback on how crazy/not crazy it is would be appreciated.

What if Nintendo, under a time constraint to launch the game on time, simply ported the net services of MK7 over to MK8 without significant changes? It would explain why the messages in the lobby are the same (even though several aren't applicable to MK8) and possibly why there have been so many errors.

MK7 lobbies were limited to 8 racers as opposed to the 12 in MK8 and I noticed last night that as soon as people started dropping out of the room that had been full for most of the evening the issues seemed to improve. Also, could it explain why the racers seem to get so many duplicate items at one time since the MK7 servers only needed to issue 8 items? I had assumed since launch that the issues have been caused by having a racer with a bad connection lagging the entire group but I can't remember if this has ever happened when I was in a room smaller than 8.

So I wanted to know how many people have experienced significant netcode issues while in full rooms and have you noticed the same issues while in smaller rooms? And for people that have never had issues how often have you participated in a full room?

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Took a break from the game yesterday to rest my index fingers (and play Shovel Knight). First game today I get blue shelled twice. Nintendo pls.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Considering how barebones a lot of the features of the game are, sometimes I think they took so long making the core experience really good and then said "fuck it, Iwata said we gotta ship this shit in May" to the rest of it.
