Are you guys full in Frantic? Getting errors when I try to join up with a recent player, and I get placed in a room alone if I go in via tourneys.

 

[Roo]

Guys gimme 15 minutes. I need to do something.

We're in WW. The room may be full now.

Edit:This room started out decent but it's just overflowing with assholes now :/

 

[Dereck]

Why is no one in Frantic or Race?

 

[Roo]

I'm back
Go Greg and Crimson go!! Kick their asses!!
Edit: oh

 

[Saint Gregory]

I'm not driving very well right now :/

 

[Dereck]

You guys playing in Worldwide?

 

[Roo]

What? Where did you come from? D:

You guys playing in Worldwide?

Yup

 

[Saint Gregory]

Too much caffeine today :{

 

[Roo]

Since all those assholes left the room
*firehopper mode off*

Edit: 5005VR! Aw yiss!

 

[Lexxon]

I spun out to two straight invisible hazards there on RR64. Lag much?

 

[Saint Gregory]

This has been a baaaad night. I can't even blame the spammers, I'm just driving off the track left and right.

Edit: The girl in front of me got a bullet bill in 3rd :/

And 2 lightnings? Is this Frantic?

Do you want to change to GAFcc?

That's not going to help anything, LOL

At least here we have a full room.

Streaming some Mario Kart for a little. http://www.twitch.tv/mtorchia

 

[Saint Gregory]

Oh god, really?

 

[Roo]

Brotherhood means nothing to Crimson lol

 

[Saint Gregory]

What happened? Did the room die?

Edit: And now I can't join either :/

Looks like it died lol
Edit: Greg let's do some GAFcc

OK, lead the way

 

[Roo]

Looks like it died lol
Edit: Greg let's do some GAFcc

 

[Saint Gregory]

I knew that was going to happen :/

Edit: This is just comedy LOL

 

[Roo]

What the fuck! Dat banana!
Also, I'll change my combo to spice things up a little

 

[Saint Gregory]

Chad I'm sorry, I didn't think you would actually hit that banana LOL

Edit: Roo Stahp!!! My heart LOL!!!

 

[n8]

lets see how well I fair currently...

 

[Roo]

lmao what a fail

 

[chadboban]

Chad I'm sorry, I didn't think you would actually hit that banana LOL

I actually didn't hit anything. I just fell off like a moron lol.
The Mario Kart gods are simply not with me tonight. I keep getting stars which do jack shit when you're as far behind as I am lol

 

[Saint Gregory]

That was some crazy netcode madness. My triple reds just chased you forever until they destroyed themselves :/

I actually didn't hit anything. I just fell off like a moron lol.
The Mario Kart gods are simply not with me tonight. I keep getting stars which do jack shit when you're as far behind as I am lol

It was gone the next lap tho :/

Edit: Got hit by like 6 reds!

 

[Roo]

I like this bike... Wonder why I don't use it more often.

Edit: now I see why... Meh

 

[Saint Gregory]

LOL, the blue shell went the wrong path and never came back

 

[DooD1234]

I wish there was more racers with us right now

 

[Exentryk]

Using inward drifting? How you finding them compared to outward?

 

[Saint Gregory]

Wow at that ending O_O

Edit: Mortons!!!!

 

[chadboban]

roo, that was a brilliant use of that horn in that tunnel on Sweet Canyon, killed my red shells and sent me off the edge. Was really impressed.

 

[Roo]

Yeah, I'm using the one that looks like the mach bike from MKW.
I like it. I need to practice a little more but so far it can be a hit or miss thing.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Oh god, SFIV Evo is about to start!

Edit: Why does that blue hit me more when I'm not the target >_<

 

[Roo]

roo, that was a brilliant use of that horn in that tunnel on Sweet Canyon, killed my red shells and sent me off the edge. Was really impressed.

I knew you would hit me eventually with them so why not?

Oh god, SFIV Evo is about to start!

Really? I think it will be my last races

 

[Draper]

So does everyone use the Pro controller?

 

[chadboban]

I fucked up so bad on that last race, ran off the course 3 times. Got 0 item boxes on the 3nd lap. Did get a sweet banana peel use on the waterfall though.

 

[DooD1234]

Whew, back at shy guys fall, just had a fierce battle for first against Roo. Also got mario karted the subsequent races

 

[Kodaman]

Man how I hate Dolphin Shoals

 

[Saint Gregory]

Really? I think it will be my last races

Why did you hold that horn so long???

It's on now and distracting the hell out of me. This is my last one.

 

[Exentryk]

Yeah, I'm using the one that looks like the mach bike from MKW.
I like it. I need to practice a little more but so far it can be a hit or miss thing.

I am really surprised how you can switch between both styles. I can't do outward at all.

So does everyone use the Pro controller?

I do, even when I'm using the gamepad screen to play lol. Light and has a REALLY long battery life.

 

[Burning Justice]

So does everyone use the Pro controller?

I do. Think there are some people here who use the GamePad, but I vastly prefer how the Pro Controller feels. Tried using the GamePad once for MK8, but after using the Pro Controller for so long, it took a while for me to get used to it. Just didn't feel right.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Good games everybody!

Evo!!!

 

[Roo]

I didn't want to use it against you lol
Didn't work tho because when I got Chad, you were hit too.

 

[ohlawd]

lmao and I was just about to go on.

I did nothing but EVO yesterday and most of today but I'm done now that it's SF.

my gawd, out of everything(and I mean everything; Blazblue, Tekken, MAHVEL, Melee, Killer Instinct), SF is batshit boring.

 

[chadboban]

You bastard! lol

 

[Saint Gregory]

LOL, I appreciate it. I shot my red to get another item and failed on the backwards shot. I was surprised when you didn't use the horn to cancel it. I couldn't figure out what was going on :/

Crazy talk! All the Fei Longs and Sagats are a bit much though. It should let Capcom know how bad their balancing is.

 

[Roo]

You bastard! lol

Consider it my way to say thanks for that horn in the WW race

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Who said that? Tons of us use and slay with inside drift bikes.

It's only an issue in time trials if you want to aim for the top of the global leaderboards. That's where everyone uses heavy characters with top speed karts.

You can't fire hop (or whatever people are calling it), so that puts you at a disadvantage against people in karts that are doing it.

If you're good enough at the game it's not a deal breaker. Honestly, as an inside drift bike user, I feel like I have more trouble with godawful luck and some annoying bugs than other people hopping.

This game is too funny:

Downside is that you're slightly slower overall than a kart. Slower still if the kart hops, but it doesn't really matter in multiplayer where there are items and nonsense flying around everywhere. In fact, bikes actually have some advantages online. So unless you plan on doing no item 1v1s or trying to set a world record or something, go forth and use your disgusting pleb vehicle w/no worries!

This makes me very happy. I went to sleep right before all the replies, so I'm just now catching up. Thanks, everyone. The one thing I'll say about using the bikes is the line you take when drifting is far more predictable when compared to outside drifting karts. Probably a little easier to target with shells. But other than that, i love the bikes.

 

[Exentryk]

Anyone around for some frantic races?

 

[chaosblade]

?? Electrodrome is one of the easiest tracks for a bike. Rainbow Road on the other hand is complete suck tho.

Sometimes I feel like the only person who like the new Rainbow Road. Or at least doesn't hate it.


And I jumped in a worldwide room and am off to a bad start. Got double teamed by a pair of metal Marios.
