Thanks David for the fun matches, I didn't think I was going to win that one race when you hit me with the red shell at the finish line :lol Just sorta coasted through.
 
I have been adding a bunch of people and them pm'ing them. If you add me be sure to send me a pm to let me know.

Thanks!

After playing a while its much better to play people from GAF cause they actually finish the races win or lose!
 
I'm getting a lot of disconnections playing worldwide or regional, bloody annoying. Had a 4p race going and 2 dropped out after the first race, stuck with it and in the next one the other guy bailed. :(

Added Smiles and Advance. Still waiting on Harker and Mejilan.

Question: Sometimes in a race, for whatever reason, my or another racer will sorta "sparkle" and gain speed...even though we didn't get or use any items. Anyone know what that's all about?

It's a feature in the game. If you follow a players slipstream, you'll get less wind resistance. Do it long enough, you'll get a huge speed boost.

After a lot of play on Rainbow Road...I'm not quite sure I like it. It's awesome, it's fast, but it's not really Rainbow Road. The BTTF theme ripoff is now something you'd hear from an anime kiryogi would watch, and the track is way too forgiving.

On the upside, it's awesome fucking people over with banana peels on the turbo boosts. :lol
 
Regional and Worldwide isn't picking anyone up, so if anyone wants to play, let me know you are adding me. My friend code is:

429556
374325
 
Anyone know how it determines wins and losses? It seems like for me its only counting the wins. Right now I'm 40-17, but I'm 32-5 in my last 37 matches and I know for a fact that I've lost more races than 5. Does it only count as a loss if you don't finish in the top 2 or something? I'm pretty confused.

rainbow road on special cup is buggy... I was in first place on 150cc and got hit with a shell,stayed on course while flipping but then my car floated straight up into the air and the lifter guy came and put me back on course in 8th place.

That's not a bug. :lol

If you get hit on the loop, it reads as you being off the track on any cc.

if you played four player matches it breaks down like this
1st place gets 3 wins
2nd place gets 2 wins and 1 loss
3rd place gets 1 win and 2 losses
4th place gets 3 losses

He usually beats me 3-1. Though I haven't VSed him in 2 days. I'm looking forward to it. BTW, are you getting online now?

Agreed, Nintendo hasn't nailed a Rainbow Road that can compare to the original SMK version yet.
