Correction, you have to hold it right when it disappears.

Spoiler

I'm on to you Azure, trying to get revenge on Y2Kev by making him do false starts every time thinking he could trust your advice.

 

[EloquentM]

Who was peach? Sorry peach lol

 

[bon]

That was me. I knew Crazy 8 was too good to be true.

?

I actually always hold it right as two flashes. It gets me those huge boosts all the staff ghosts get.

 

[jetjevons]

Second, Precious?

Second?

 

[EloquentM]

Fuck rainbow road smh

 

[chadboban]

Screw you guys, was just about to take in a movie, but then I came in this thread, read the comments and now I can't control my urge to play. Seriously, fuck this thread.

One of us one of us

God dammit koodo

 

[Gattuso]

fish got right in the way

 

[Dr Prob]

...you've watched me drive so why do you constantly add to my problems?

Sorry man, but you know how it is. Start out relaxed, going to have a little fun. Then ffdgh gets triple reds in second twice. Then final decides that knocking me off the track is more important than passing. Then a hundred other things and EVERYONE IS GOING DOWN.

how do you get a fast start off the starting line

The numbers kind of drop down as they appear. Try holding the accelerator right after the 2 settles into place and starts to fade. Too early and you'll stall, so it's better to be late than early. Lookie lookie senator.

 

[EloquentM]

Finalow your ass is grass!

 

[Dr Prob]

Grass him!

 

[SweetDonuts]

How many players in the other room? only me and Chad in this one.

 

[Papercuts]

That's really weird. I do it a lot earlier in the 2 for the best start.

Azure L is a fucking amazing nickname

 

[Jeff Vader]

>.> I said I was done but I can't help myself.

 

[Exentryk]

I look at the lights that turn on rather than the number. The timing is right after the 2nd light comes on.

 

[Jeff Vader]

I must be lagging cause I had 5th but then it said I was 6th. No thanks to somebody who fired their red shells backwards >_>

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Those last two races are the worst I've seen in this game in terms of items. Constant stunlock.

 

[EloquentM]

I don't even...

 

[Jeff Vader]

Com error on lap 3 D:

 

[Dereck]

Can someone explain the empty room problem?

 

[chadboban]

Damn com problem

 

[Esque7]

how do you get a fast start off the starting line

Press and hold accelerate as soon as the number 2 completely solidifies on screen. Alternatively, as soon as you hear the second beep. However there are (at least?) 2 different boosts you can get. The earlier you hold it, the longer your boost will be. However this runs the risk of you spinning out.

 

[EloquentM]

My first second placing, yay!

 

[Ysiadmihi]

The online seems super broken right now. I just had 3 red shells fly past me at light speed.

 

[Currygan]

Regulating the track earlier:

Bowser finishing strong!

I was one of them Bills. didnt notice two of you were up my arse

Yea. I was racing with just 4 people and was in first. A green shell hits me somehow and then bowser runs into my red shell breaking it without slowing down and then I get hit by another bouncing green shell and quit. I'm coming right back once this WC match is over and I eat though

oh shut up Commie, you rake in points like a plonker gets dicks on a friday night
/jk

we're not so different you and I

I swear nothing makes me as salty as fuckin' Mario Kart

indeed. I have to rely on playing against mofos around the world just to get some of my self esteem back. But GAF ruins everything again, it's like a rollercoaster of shit

Those were mine :/

I'm K-Dawg

 

[EloquentM]

My first time in first place. The crack is too strong. Gotta keep playing.

 

[Dereck]

It's almost like if you're in any place from 3rd-8th, you're gonna be stuck in an endless loop of getting bumped off the road/getting hit by items.

 

[EloquentM]

First to eleventh. Bye guys. Gg

 

[CrimsonCommie]

The lag is pretty bad right now for me. Took two reds to destroy one banana.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Ok!

 

[SM239]

I need to remember to not drag my item unless there's a threat incoming

 

[chadboban]

Dammit Jeff, first you sen back a green shell and then fireballs. WTH MAN lol

 

[CrimsonCommie]

People warping everywhere! Is the lag that bad for anybody else?

 

[Gattuso]

what an incredible last second drop in places

 

[Ysiadmihi]

People warping everywhere! Is the lag that bad for anybody else?

It's horrible right now. Can't take the sound of the item wheel anymore.
