Mario Kart 8 |OT3| Green is mean; Red, you're dead; Blue...#%&@ you.

Alright GAF, here I come, let's see if I can make anything happen tonight.

 

[Zing]

Ok not playing team GAF vs GAF anymore. "Robusto" or someone on my own team just blasted me with the horn when I was second to last place and no other racers around.

I'll come back to regular tournament.

Haha that was totally accidental, the tag didn't show above your name and instinct took over. Come back!

 

[Thoraxes]

One red shell to go from 3rd to 9th.

Fuck

 

[-PXG-]

Three in a row, lol

 

[Doorman]

Daaamn Papercuts, I should have seen that coming!

 

[Papercuts]

That blooper made me totally screw up the shortcut.

 

[Rubixcuba]

First place Sherbet Land Yaaaay

 

[Burning Justice]

...Since when do the cars come at you in Toad's Turnpike?

 

[Azuran]

Time to jump into action again and this time I'll be rocking Mario since people were crapping on him on the other thread.

 

[devious.one]

It never fails that in the first 15 seconds of a race, I'll usually always slipstream boost into someones banana or shell that they are lugging behind them during one of those first turns.

 

[Fbh]

LOL at your Mii Prinny xD

 

[1up]

Right off the side lol

 

[Papercuts]

One of the layouts has the one lane going against you like that.

 

[-PXG-]

Good. I'll gladly take you with me.

 

[Pitmonkey]

Not sure if posted, but i'm dying.

And that essentially is the game. Lose there and get caught up in the pack.

Where were the rest of you guys? It's lonely way up here

 

[Papercuts]

TILTING COMMUNICATION ERROR

 

[NewVegasDog]

Fucking hell I got a comm error.

 

[Burning Justice]

Communication error

Didn't realize there was more than one, haha.

 

[Timeaisis]

Tilt controls disconnect.

 

[esmith08734]

Wow, this feels totally different from Mario Kart 7. Do you guys have any pointers for a newcomer? I don't think using the gamepad will work for me. Also, should I start getting used to fire hopping? I understand I need to beat the cups to unlock stuff and play some time trials to find short cuts and whatnot. I am just seeing if there's anything you guys can share with me. Thanks.

 

[Kangi]

Too much tilt controls.

 

[I3rand0]

Those tilt controls lol

 

[Doorman]

I like to think of communication errors as Nintendo's way of urging us to get out and meet new people, instead of staying in the same little groups all night.

 

[Draconian]

No party system for this game is a stroke of genius. I tried to join a friend online and have been forced to spectate three straight races. Are you joking me Nintendo?

 

[devious.one]

dat star at the end.

 

[lt519]

Come play GAF vs GAF now that you've been booted (;

 

[1up]

Oh so that's why regulars have low points. Mine just reset.

 

[Papercuts]

Communication error


Didn't realize there was more than one, haha.

Yeah there's a few, I mainly tell by the location of the boost ramp truck and if you can jump the bridge on lap 1 or not.

I do wish this had one like the n64 mirror mode where all the traffic was against you, because the track is way too easy to just drift the sides(and I cannot keep up with that inside drift here). But it's semi scary to do that when it's opposing traffic.

 

[Doorman]

YES!

Holy shit that last lap was all-clench. Nailed by a red shell right off the final jump, fell into the water, got carted to the landing pad and still managed first.

 

[Brannon]

Oh hell, got a disconnect right before I crossed the finish line.

Ah well, guess I'm out for the night!

 

[Exentryk]

Comm error. Good time for a little break. Good games guys.

 

[1up]

Comm error.

 

[Fbh]

If screwing up in the last lap gave you point I'd be leading this thing

 

[Omnicent]

Comm error.

=\ yeah this is getting annoying

 

[Timeaisis]

If screwing up in the last lap gave you point I'd be leading this thing

You and me both.

 

[johnsavage]

Just joined the race |OT| found out I suck. Thanks everyone.

 

[Papercuts]

Guess I'll just go into randoms online because these errors are terrible.

 

[Burning Justice]

That lightning RUINED me.

 

[Deku Tree]

Is there any way to view which stamps you already have?

 

[Papercuts]

I lapped a random. That's a first.

 

[lt519]

I lapped a random. That's a first.

GAFcc. I'm upset when I don't come in first in random rooms, I'm happy if I get 4th on GAF

 

[Timeaisis]

Holy shit rainbow road was intense. How did I manage first...

 

[Burning Justice]

I just Super Horned a blue shell, only to get hit by a red shell afterward, then... communication error.

Think I'm done for now.

 

[Azure J]

Synota needs Jesus and a good woosah. What the fuck was that? Triple red shell to keep me pinned on the ramp section of Royal Raceway only for you to use triple green shells (two fired forward and a complimentary "fuck you" one fired backwards as I regained momentum)? Do you think you could have been any more overkill?

That's getting replayed.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Got the coin six times in a row on Rainbow Road. Clearly the game does not want me to play tonight.
