Blue shell would have been helpful about 10 seconds earlier.

good night Sky

 

[SmithnCo]

Both are important, that's why you pick a heavy character with good acceleration.

I feel you get enough opportunities between items, backdraft, and bumps to mitigate bad acceleration, from there your speed will matter most.

 

[AdanVC]

Literally me

Spoiler

Not really, I need more practice, I'm still finishing most races on 4th. Dem Gaf tourneys.

 

[Borman]

Getting ready to stream the GAF room for a few races, until I get frustrated because I am terrible

[Beelzebufo]

My issue is, every time I get hit out of first, I get hit about a million more times, lol. Don't think more acceleration will help me take back first.

Ah, I gotcha. No accounting for bad luck I guess haha

Eh, not in my experience. Getting too far ahead increases chances of blue shells, and high accel helps you get to those boost pads after being hit.

 

[Papercuts]

I'm going to the bar and coming back in a few hours for online drunken mario kart.

PREPARE THYSELVES

 

[Beaniedude]

It seems that other people tend to recover faster from getting hit than I do.

Is it just me justifying my horrible placements or is there some magical technique that lets you recover faster?

 

[Burning Justice]

Fucked up the boat path TWICE that race. I'm having a great day.

 

[SCReuter]

Surprised I didn't choke on that sky stage.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Hitting someone with a red shell in midair and seeing them slowly plummet to the ground is so amazing

I know right? Was it you who hit me in the Thwomp Ruins right before the finish line mid-air and gave me a heart-attack? And am I imagining things or did your Mii change?

good night Sky

Good night it was fun I added you by the way!

It seems that the thread is in 150cc mode, so I'll probably be left behind, but how do I go about adding my name to the GAF community? Is it a google doc type thing or what?

Yeah, quote the OT to see the Google Doc link.

[Beelzebufo]

Ugh, that was a bad run. But I reset my score! Anyway, I'm out. Good games!

 

[crops55]

Lg'ed right off fucking rainbow road before the finish. Fuck.

 

[kuppy]

Hii there!

 

[gotoadgo]

Cannot catch a break today. Every time I get hit it follows immediately with something else. Only time I looked like winning I got hit with 2red shells at once and then as soon as I recovered a blue one nailed me too. About ready to give up for the day.

 

[blame space]

(I'm not using tilt controls)

 

[kuppy]

Wow, I didn't expect at all to start off this well, nice.

 

[Azuran]

Damn, this room is brutal. You guys are too aggressive tonight D:

 

[Vylash]

Nah that wasn't me, and everyone else was using their actual likeness as their Mii and I felt left out

 

[victreeb3l]

LMAO

This poor soul used all 3 of this mushrooms to boost into me while I had the star

3 times he got blasted off

 

[crops55]

(I'm not using tilt controls)

(Hooray!)

 

[Toad.T]

Yeah, quote the OT to see the Google Doc link.

Cheers on that. There seems to be 1500+ listed on there, i'm assuming you don't need to add them all to play against GAF at anytime? Because I think the friend limit is like 100 or so?

 

[Timeaisis]

Everyone is Rosie.

 

[Burning Justice]

Trying to hit Azuran with my bananas when he had a shell totally backfired on me.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Nah that wasn't me, and everyone else was using their actual likeness as their Mii and I felt left out

Ah okay must have been someone else then with a liking for mid-air hits And I see Now you remind me I should probably update my Mii, it's somewhat my likeness still but I haven't updated it since I got my almost launch day Wii back in 2006... which was 8 years ago... now I feel so very old...

Just enter the GAF Racing Tournament Code ingame and you can race with us in no time

Same here. This is probably the worst night I've ever had with online. So many terrible placements in a row it's insane.

 

[HeySeuss]

I played a little bit in the GAF tourney earlier before coming to work and the highest I placed was 9th. Man I can't wait for my days off so I van practice more. You guys are so good I'm embarrassed to play some of you...lol.

So much fun though.

 

[SmithnCo]

The no items racing room is so relaxing after the GAF room.

 

[gotoadgo]

Finally. Holy shit.

 

[SCReuter]

Jeez, I don't think enough people got star power that race.

 

[Ainaurdur]

I am beginning to think it might be nice to set up a GAF room that isn't so prone to utter item stupidity. Would be nice if even the smallest amount of racing skill was worth anything.

I have fun, but constantly getting screwed by the item rng... not as fun as it could be.

 

[exfatal]

wow i chocked soo bad on last turn of bowser castle.. so mad atmyself

 

[Revven]

You guys are proving more and more to me I need to stick to my DK combo. ;~;

 

[gotoadgo]

Coming first. Second place gets three red, then as I recover from red shell passing piranha plant hits me. Gg

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

I really want to star all Grand Prix before I start playing more online again, but I'm thiiiiiiiis close to snapping my pro controller in half on these mirror Grand Prix.

 

[Marlowe89]

Whoo, first time playing in the GAF tournament and I'm already placing 1st!

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

You guys are bomb crazy

 

[wilflare]

need more MK8 <3

 

[NamikazeBurst]

So how does Mario Kart TV work? I try to add slow motion but it doesn't save into the uploaded clip. Also, it takes forever to upload a 1 minute clip.

 

[SCReuter]

I can't get over how pretty this game is. It's such a big leap over Mario Kart Wii.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Damn, xtortion tryna keep me down

 

[Azuran]

Bowser coming right at you at full speed with a star is now the most terrifying thing ever.

 

[Vylash]

>2 green shells

>throw one, hits the guy in front of me as he's drifting

>throw the other

>bounces off a wall and hits another guy in front of me

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Motherf--!
How the hell did I screw that up?

 

[gotoadgo]

First to last in one lap. Come the fuck on.

 

[exfatal]

wow the fuck. i hate dolphin shores.

 

[Burning Justice]

Damn. Couldn't quite pass Sanos at the end.

Bowser coming right at you at full speed with a star is now the most terrifying thing ever.

lol

 

[Brofield]

Finally have online, let's go Red Jaguars!

(Added my name to the Google Docs)

 

[Tripon]

I'm not doing so well...
