Nice try Prinny, we all know that's just one of your alts. If I see both of you on at the same time though I'll be kind of scared :/

Or maybe YOU are one of my alts and I'v been talking to myself all this time...!

[spoiler] I think last night made me lose the little sanity I had left. [/spoiler]

Looks like I'll have to prove my superior (penguin)skills online :D

EDIT: And here's my friend code, if anyone's interested: 5198 - 2517 - 3264. Do I get a notification if someone adds me?

Added you, mine is 0130-1903-3950.

[QUOTE=KaizorPenguin;35256184]Do I get a notification if someone adds me?[/QUOTE]
I don't think you get one, but maybe I'm wrong.

Edit: If you play with some guys named 'Greg' or 'Gospel' in the GAF community, feel free to spam items on them.

Nice, I'll add you once I finish this cup...oh my. The damn eel from Mario 64 is hanging out on Daisy Cruiser :/ Never going back in the water again.

-closed-

I just finished getting 3 stars in every cup, and I checked how to unlock the remaining parts. 20,000 coins for the Gold body... WTF!?

Oh and beating the Staff Ghosts is impossible, I beat them all in Double Dash and DS but without a manual mini turbo system it's just too hard. Unless the parts I have yet to unlock are better, but yeah.

20000 coins OR 10000 vr for the body

100 street passes or 10000 coins for the glider

Can't find my cartridge. Bloody physical media...

Open lobby with 1 player! [14:15 EST]

Tie, just as planned.

The next time I see you and I get a star, you'll pay ffdgh!

Edit: Open lobby with 3 people! [14:18 EST]

Edit2: I thought you needed a mushroom for the shortcut in dino.

just as planned...
and nope, just use any glider except standard and beast and hold back.

BTW who put a banana at the end of RR.

I mushroom'ed myself into it and fell into the abyss...

Edit: Everybody left?

oh darn a communication error.

Your persecution of GAF members with holy nics is only adding to the mounting evidence that you are the devil.

Lobby re-opened, we were only 2 instead of 5 so I left. Sorry for disconnecting Stick Boy.

5 in the lobby right now.

alright time to reclaim my win

What did you do at the end Greg? Rock in the face?

[QUOTE=Prinny;35279290]What did you do at the end Greg? Rock in the face?[/QUOTE]

Yes :(

.....oh for ffs

I'll kill you Greg. I'll make you eat one of your bomb.

Not going to ask who threw that bomb Prinny?

Edit: Sorry if you got caught up int that ffdgh, all of those bombs were meant just for Prinny :)

its annoying to play with distractions..

Holy shit I'm getting crushed :(

[QUOTE=KaizorPenguin;35280049]Holy shit I'm getting crushed :([/QUOTE]

Who are you?

Oh it's you penguin, sorry I didn't know.

Let's team up against these [I]humans[/I]!

that's nothing, im getting out lucked....

I'm getting hit by more blue shells while in 2nd place than in first :(

Edit: Linsanity is killing me right now :)

Edit2: What in the world happened on RR?

I gave him back what he gave me (3 red shells) :P

...
no that was not logically possible

[QUOTE=ffdgh;35280611]...

What's your side of the story?
[QUOTE=ffdgh;35280657]....i got trippled....and fell of the track 5 times afterwards >_>[/QUOTE]

Oh lord, sorry. I thought my best hope was 3rd on that one and next thing I knew I was in 2nd. My mind was kind of blown...

....i got trippled....and fell of the track 5 times afterwards >_>

Communication error :( Oh well, I'll just go to bed before I snap my 3ds in two, haha. Frustration aside, it was fun playing with you guys, and with some practice I should be able to be somewhat competitive. Still, my confidence is shattered, as I thought I was pretty good at Mario Kart :/

[QUOTE=KaizorPenguin;35280704]...I thought I was pretty good at Mario Kart :/[/QUOTE]
We all did once :'(

eh that's enough for meh. ggs
and my confidence is not deterred by cheap items.

Prinny is a dark wizard. The last time we played head to head he got nothing but stars and lucky 7s. I thought I was going to lose my mind :(

So I'm a demon dark wizard now?

[QUOTE=Prinny;35281267]So I'm a demon dark wizard now?[/QUOTE]

Or the devil... or a penguin... shape shifting is part of your dark powers.
[QUOTE=Prinny;35281449]But Prinnies are supposed to be demon penguins![/QUOTE]
I rest my case...

But Prinnies are supposed to be demon penguins!

The next MK should have playable penguin (the one from mario 64).

Edit: I'll go eat, I'll come back later.

So I had a conversation about MK7 with my friends recently. They said that the game mechanics are flawed, because now each race is all based on luck. They said they should put snaking back into Mario Kart. Personally while I had fun playing MKDS in the past, I did not find snaking make the game more enjoyable. I did not use it much due to fear of damaging my dpad. What are your thoughts?

I'm still hanging around if anyone up for a round. I'm infinitely easier to beat than Prinny if it helps...

If all racers are equal skill then items will determine the winner and even that balances out if you play enough cups. Every item is defendable and I really haven't found that they help low level players beat high level players. Just the fact that you can get mushrooms while in first fairly often makes the game a lot more balanced than MKWii.
[QUOTE=Prinny;35282005]We got a tie last time. We are equals in skill![/QUOTE]
Whatever. If you actually raced all the time instead of playing around so much I would never beat you and we both know that :P
[QUOTE=Prinny;35282005]You just have to use your dark side![/QUOTE]
Give it up. I may falter from time to time but you won't turn me!

I agree. I'm ~4200 VR, and whenever I see a 12000+VR player come along he finishes 1st most of the time. Would you guys want snaking to return though?

I thought snaking is in MK7 but it's just nerfed so it's not as overpowered as in MKDS. That was the issue that most people had with it before was that it just overwhelmed every other strategy.

Snaking prevent jumping in straight line, that's not fun.

Edit: I can't join you Greg, full room 3 races in a row! 4 now...

Ah yes, you're correct. Are there actual strategies for this game that requires skill, other than drfiting, shortcuts, etc?

I never thought that it was fun and I always wondered why people thought it was worth doing it to win in MKDS. People have issues.
[QUOTE=Bullza2o;35282508]Ah yes, you're correct. Are there actual strategies for this game that requires skill, other than drfiting, shortcuts, etc?[/QUOTE]
Aside from shortcuts the tracks have different surfaces that play into strategies. There's know when and where to use certain items and the gliders bring in a whole new way to approach some of the tracks too. If snaking existed just like in MKDS no one would both with any of that stuff.

Edit: How could I forget about the coins. People love's beating them out of you which is another great strategy.

[QUOTE=Bullza2o;35282508]Ah yes, you're correct. Are there actual strategies for this game that requires skill, other than drfiting, shortcuts, etc?[/QUOTE]

Coins are the most notable skill-based addition other than drifting and shortcuts, but knowing how and when to drift, how and when to use items, and how and when to take shortcuts is still the bread and butter of Mario Kart 7.
