I'm like a bug to a light with the banana peels today. lol

Last race, Arclaid. GGs!

That was my last race as well. GG Exentryk.

 

[Kouriozan]

Did the tournament code change?
There is nobody online.
Edit : nope :s
Oh well, back to worldwide.

 

[Fireblend]

Hey guys, I need Wii U friends to play with badly, and I figured this thread was the best place to find em. My NNID is Fireblend I've never actually added anyone, is that all someone would need to add me?

 

[Exentryk]

With these new changes, gaining VR is more difficult.

Added you Fireblend.

 

[Saint Gregory]

I can't wait to get home and see my stats

I know my win/loss ratio is going to be upside down though D:

Why am I not seeing more impressions on the changes?

 

[ffdgh]

With these new changes, gaining VR is more difficult.

Yeah I just noticed this myself. Makes using lighter weights even more of a risk. Ugh =/

 

[PadWarrior]

How do you turn the map on?

 

[69wpm]

How do you turn the map on?

Press Select (minus) on the GamePad.

 

[PadWarrior]

Press Select (minus) on the GamePad.

Thanks!

 

[Kouriozan]

Fireball -> Green shell -> Bob-omb.

Oh, Mario Kart, I missed you.

 

[Revven]

With these new changes, gaining VR is more difficult.

Added you Fireblend.

Hmmm? What changed that makes VR harder?

Edit: Nevermind, I read up on what else has changed. So... they raised total VR to 99999... I suppose I can see how that will make things harder.

 

[ffdgh]

Hmmm? What changed that makes VR harder?

You gain less for higher places and lose much more for getting lower spots.

 

[ohlawd]

stats say I've used tilt controls 100 times. seems really low lol.

nothing's changed, right? same code for vanilla and frantic lobbies?

 

[DaBoss]

Just cleared my favorite replays and saw this, so I uploaded it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2WziGaWxi4

Yea, but I think no one is in yet.

 

[Revven]

Really? That's a really strange change :\

 

[DooD1234]

You gain less for higher places and lose much more for getting lower spots.

What VR were your opponents? If your VR is that much higher than everybody else, you lose a lot more than you gain.

 

[ffdgh]

Everyone is 9500+

You can lose up to 30 for coming in last... =/

 

[ViewtifulJC]

well good thing Roo got his 9999VR for whatever reason already

 

[Exentryk]

Previously, you wouldn't lose any points if you were 6 or above in a 12 player room. Now, even at 4th you're losing points. And the negative numbers are quite severe, in comparison to how much you're gaining even in first.

Oh wow, that going to make the climb to 99999 VR even more painful.

 

[SM239]

So VR is more difficult to gain now. And right when I have time to get back into the game. Oh well, the grind starts this afternoon.

Edit: Is frantic the norm around here now?

 

[Azuran]

What? They raised VR to 99999 and they made it harder?

Damn, I finally reached 3000 last night and now it feels like nothing. Oh well, even more of a reason not to suck online.

 

[DaBoss]

After a couple of races...

- Netcode is still shit (false hits everywhere, some people rubberbanding)
- Item wheel taking forever glitch is still in (occurs more frequently now)
- Red shells are still dumb

EDIT: LMAO, apparently the leave before you vote comm error glitch is back...
- Regional Matchmaking is terrible still

 

[PadWarrior]

What gaf rooms do you guys play in the most?

fixed

 

[DooD1234]

I just realize when Link is released, everyone will be Link just like everyone is Rosalina right now. I will be one of them lol.

 

[spindashing]

I have work so I didn't test anything out properly but what are the interesting sets with these new mercedes karts? Real interested in trying them out, would give me some variety from the Gold Standard/Sports Coupe stuff I've been using.

 

[Exentryk]

What gaf rooms do you guys play in the most?

Frantic room.

 

[DaBoss]

Can we ask a mod to move the thread temporarily to Gaming side for like a week or 2?

And change the subtitle to "Update Available" or something?

 

[Mlatador]

That would be great. We need more people for KartGAF (especially from different time zones). Frantic is empty right now.

 

[PadWarrior]

Frantic room.

K thanks I will try to join if anyone on my friends list is playing this weekend

 

[Volotaire]

Is there even a point of the two rooms? I only see people in Frantic when I play.

 

[GAMERG0D]

You guys playing right now? I haven't played in a few months. Also we should move the thread for a little/make a new one.

 

[Mlatador]

I'm playing in some random frantic room right now, and damn, it's fun! Feels like the MK7 balancing somehow.

There are international people in the room and the connection is stable. Haven't noticed any unregistered hits yet. I think something has improved.

EDIT: nope, just encountered one. Well...

 

[Azuran]

Huh, it's actually better than I expected. My WW domination makes up for sucking in GAF rooms.

 

[Revven]

I won't be able to play until after lunch.

DLC downloaded and packs paid for. I'm back baby!

Oh, and here are my stats:

How is everyone getting their browser shots uploaded? Navigating minus.com on the game pad is a mess and the upload button is borked, imgur leaves my image in a "Pending" loop and every other suggestion either plain doesn't work because there's a flash element to it or wants a new subscription/account.

My guess is using the screenshot feature on Miiverse.

Edit: Or not? lmao

The upload button on minus works. just hold it for about 2 seconds.

Wait, seriously?

*tries it*

...well fuck. :lol

No way in hell is Mario Kart Stadium my favorite course. It's either Cloudtop Cruise, one of the two Rainbow Roads or Grumble Volcano for the hype/frustrating endings whenever Donkey Kong players are involved and I'm front running. :lol

 

[Roo]

Sadly, the favorite track stat is broken due to the course selection screen. I mean, everyone in here knows my favorite track is Grumble Volcano, however, according to the game, my favorite track is Royal Raceway.

If you're given 3 options to vote, you obviously are going to pick the one that sucks less/you like the most.
In my case from 30 races I play.. 16 of them have Royal Raceway up for voting while Grumble Volcano only shows up 2 or 3 times at most if I'm lucky.

 

[Azure J]

First two matches that I play after coming back from a month long hiatus:

- Lose on Rainbow Road 64 because my Gamepad dropped signal to the Wii U and gave me the black screen of "get closer pls"

- Front run an entire match on Mario Circuit with three banana peels surrounding me. On the beginning of the third lap, a green shell takes one of them down setting up for "Tom" to get miraculous second place red shells at the last bend and fire them one by one. The first banana peel does its job and stops the first shell, but then I go into the air off the glider ramp, the second one bypasses the last banana I have and smashes into me causing me to spin out. Then as if Tom aleady wasn't going to win, he throws the last one at me while I'm stuck in place "just cuz."

Mario. Kart. 8. ™.

I love frantic races with only two people in it.

Haha. You were racing against me. I thought I looked pretty pimpin' in my Merc and gold wheels. The two

Spoiler

lucky

wins were the icing on the cake.

 

[Oidisco]

I haven't had the chance to play online yet, has anybody noticed if lag is less of an issue?

 

[ohlawd]

stats say my favorite track is Mount Wario.

Good job, game. Right on the money.

 

[Kouriozan]

I haven't had the chance to play online yet, has anybody noticed if lag is less of an issue?

About the same.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Those trees on Mount Wario are the worst for karts.

 

[Enforced]

Hmm I'm curious about my stats. I have bit time now. So im going to update the game.
Edit: oh I already update it.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Is anything below #1 a loss? Cuz I played exclusively in GAF rooms and lol

 

[Arclaid]

Is anything below #1 a loss? Cuz I played exclusively in GAF rooms and lol

It's based on the number of players that finish ahead or behind you, I think. So if you come 3rd, it'll be 2 losses and 9 wins.

Edit: Oh great. Bottom of the page.
