Exentryk what happened?

Just some bad driving plus everyone taking a bite out of me as they went lol.

 

[SM239]

Which room do you guys primarily play in?

I have checked the Frantic one but I never see anyone

We're currently in the normal non-frantic room

Every time I use triple reds in 2nd I feel like a jerk

Spoiler

 

[Exentryk]

God damn coins and 2nd place reds.

 

[chaosblade]

That's the kind of stuff that just hurts. Throw a green shell and it hits you 3 corners later.

They last a bit too long in this game I think.


I think I collected 30 coins that race. Soooo many coin items in 2-4th place.

 

[Exentryk]

Greens should not home after they ricochet. Period.

 

[neoemonk]

I played my first online match this morning against random worldwide folks. There were five of us and I was in third for the whole race. Admittedly I'm not a Mario Kart expert or anything but the two people in front of me were out of sight within fifteen seconds. I got a red shell early on and hoped to close the distance but they were just gone.

 

[SM239]

Ouch... That blue shell Chaos.

 

[Exentryk]

All coins upto half of second lap there. Of course got reded >_>

 

[chaosblade]

Ouch... That blue shell Chaos.

Considering how much I came back to get to the point I could even have a blue hit me, I'll take it. That was an awful first lap.

 

[SM239]

Bah... Accidentally threw my last boomerang backwards.

 

[Exentryk]

That was a comfortable Moo Moo Meadows for a change.

 

[Zemm]

Being in 2nd place and catching up with 1st then getting hit by a red shell, letting 1st run off with it really easily is starting to piss me off.

Mario Kart 8 racing for you. You could try playing in Frantic to change it up a little.

 

[chaosblade]

Waluigi really should have a horn that sounds more like "WAAAH."

And another Dry Desert? Think I'm going to eat after this one.

 

[SM239]

Why Dry Dry Desert? It's so... meh...

 

[CassSept]

It's much better than DD Dry Dry Desert though.

Third today, nice start Edit: I need to practice RR8 though...

 

[SM239]

Rainbow Road. If you don't take corners with half of your kart hanging over the edge of the stage you're doing it wrong

 

[Exentryk]

I hate the start in RR. One nudge and you're boosted into oblivion.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I hate the start in RR. One nudge and you're boosted into oblivion.

its worse in the beginning where you accidently boost past somebody due to bumping into them or slipstreaming, and you go flying off that mothafucka

enjoy 9th-12th place fucker

 

[Exentryk]

Lol, I got a super 8 and Gomer stole the star, exploded the bomb and left like nothing happened XD

Meanwhile the game keeps going "lol here's some mushrooms good fuckin' luck".

 

[SM239]

Taking the safe route almost cost me. Luckily you slide a bit when hit by the boomerang.

 

[Exentryk]

Got ahead of you there SM but who knew reds win against coins >_>

 

[SM239]

I should have waited on the crazy 8 that was a huge waste of a star

 

[Currygan]

jumpin in in a few mins. Missed you bastards

 

[CassSept]

I'm not doing too well but damn, this game is so much fun

Edit: My best race yet and then bam, 7th ;_;

Edit: Wow this game is brutal, I choked and fell from 2nd to 11th within span of few seconds

 

[Taichu]

My only issue with the game so far is they took out the star rankings appearing by your name online. They kept the golden wii wheel icon though.

 

[Terrible_Majesty]

i dont get what im using tilt controls means? is it anger or an insult?

 

[chaosblade]

It's funny seeing how many people use basically the same parts.

 

[Regiruler]

It's funny seeing how many people use basically the same parts.

More like highly disappointing and depressing.

 

[SM239]

Sooo many Warios and Waluigis!

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I'm using tilt controls! *does chicken dance*

 

[HawthorneKitty]

It's a joke because it's the most interesting phrase that you can use.

 

[Regiruler]

Hmm, good to know. Next time that happens, and IT WILL, I'll try hitting the spinaroonie thing and confirm.

On the subject of the coin item: The fake item box as it existed in MKW should be in its place. Didn't stop incoming projectiles, so you'd still be powerless against reds and super-special homing greens, but it could be used to trap and harass the people behind you. At least it gave you something to work with. Coins are the worst.

I actually like coins early on though.
It should add on coins to your overall total if you get it with full coins as a compensation.

 

[SM239]

I guess I deserve that blue after that lucky green shell toss

 

[Exentryk]

What they should have done is made coins an additional item along with another one.

Also, close race there, SM. Homing greens...

 

[chaosblade]

Top 3 were Waluigis? Nice.

 

[Exentryk]

Lol, 10th. Got wrecked.

 

[SM239]

Waluigi... WALUIGI EVERYWHERE!

 

[mktrOOp]

This was a close finish, Chaosblade

 

[CassSept]

Oh god this finish in that last race

 

[chaosblade]

This was a close finish, Chaosblade

Boosted too late, or I would have won.

And man, that race became a disaster after the blue + red.

 

[SM239]

HOW many reds was that? Holy crap

EDIT: Comm error

 

[Exentryk]

Got a comm error. Be back soon.

 

[Grizzo]

I've unlocked the gold kart yesterday, I'm just missing the gold glider to have the whole "golden package" (even though I will most likely never use it because it's gonna be slow as hell).

 

[SweetDonuts]

Gonna join!

 

[Currygan]

fuck that last turn

FUCK THAT

 

[chaosblade]

I can't even use the gold glider if I get it because I need a parachute to keep my acceleration at 3.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

keep giving me coins game

 

[chaosblade]

That lightning. Every single lap.
