Thanks, random green shell out of nowhere. You got rid of the monkey for me.

Yeah, which character are you? Waluigi?

I'm done for the night now.. I planned to play one or two and played for an hour.. woops!

Yup. On a Yoshi bike, fittingly.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Starting in first place gives a huge advantage. As long as you don't get coins off the start and generally get a good stream of defensive items, it'll probably only take a blue shell to stop you.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

landed on a damn green shell

 

[JCH!]

Hahaha Alf, that was an awesome finish!

 

[BGBW]

Damn this game really does look good.

 

[Seik]

That was awesome, I'm out though, I need to install that air conditioner before I sweat my life out. D:

 

[Incitemaybe]

Ok, changing my mii name to better reflect my Gaf name

 

[NotLiquid]

NOOOO TWO RED SHELLS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FINISH LINE COME ON

 

[Papercuts]

cheep cheep beach worst track in the game

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Two crazy 8s in a row

[jnWake]

Fun races now, I was Yoshi on the Jet Bike. Won Mario Circuit twice in a row lol, and both races were the same for me.

I got royally screwed in Mount Wario though, from 1st to like 10th after a combination of almost every item in the game. I'm checking MKTV to see what the hell got me lol.

I also landed a masterful green shell on daydream in Sunshine Airport, sorry haha.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

yep, i suck against GAF. 9th place 3 times in a row -.-

 

[Otakumegane]

Ahahaha 9th 1st race. Dang. GAF is fun.

 

[Katzenjammer]

Whoever you are, Pira-tan, well played on Mount Wario!

 

[Gattuso]

oh wow just one hit after another

 

[Saint Gregory]

Ok I'm done. No more for me.

But I'm still at work :'(

Who will finish six places ahead of me when I get home now?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

[Nyteshade517]

yep, i suck against GAF. 9th place 3 times in a row -.-

I'm usually last or next to last with the occasional good race thrown in...still having fun though

 

[Smashkirby]

Come on JC, did you not notice the 2 mins I had that blue shell in 2nd?

 

[Papercuts]

Did Medley get that blue shell in 2nd place cuz holy hell.

[K' Dash]

I find it fun when you're just giving the best of you so you can finish in those last positions and not actually last, like, fuck you!, I'm 11th!!! YESSS!!

 

[Deleted member 1235]

yep, i suck against GAF. 9th place 3 times in a row -.-

Don't worry the diff between 9 and 3 can be seconds in gaf race time.

 

[NotLiquid]

Whoever you are, Pira-tan, well played on Mount Wario!

Likewise!

 

[Otakumegane]

Cloudtop cruise has to be the one of the most easiest courses to slip on by people knocking on you

 

[Kinsei]

I find it fun when you're just giving the best of you so you can finish in those last positions and not actually last, like, fuck you!, I'm 11th!!! YESSS!!

Yeah that is great. The battle for 11th is just as fun as the battle for 1st.

 

[Smashkirby]

Did Medley get that blue shell in 2nd place cuz holy hell.

I had it in 5'th and then held it for awhile.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Come on JC, did you not notice the 2 mins I had that blue shell in 2nd?

You've got so much more patience than me. I'd always be afraid of being thwarted by lightning in that situation.

Although lightning does appear to be my natural enemy :/

People picking Rainbow Road:

lol @ this

Anyways, haven't read up details on joining GAF for races. Do I just join the Tourney lobby setup via the OP or what?

Yeah, sorry tl;dr for me...

YOU DARE TELL ME TO STOP?

 

[Kriken]

Finally got MK8 today, while I should probably practice on 100cc, I'm swallowing my pride and getting my ass handed to me at 150cc occasionally

Also, never thought I'd see the day where green shells hit me more than red shells or blue shells, lol

 

[Not75Drops]

Yep...I think that's enough bullshit for today.

 

[Nyteshade517]

Yeah, sorry tl;dr for me...

yep...quote the OP to get the tournament code and enter it

 

[Otakumegane]

Who the hell crashed into the wall and gave me 3rd? Lol.

 

[Papercuts]

Sometimes the game just pauses in the lobby to fuck with you.

 

[daydream]

YOU DARE TELL ME TO STOP?

YES

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I hold my breath when that shit happens

I am having a hard time winning the Dolphin Shoals race on 150cc, is there any special vehicle or tips to consider here? I feel that even when I play more or less perfect, I still only end up in 3-4 place as there is no real place in the track to really outspeed the AI racers.

 

[1up]

I didn't want to like the heavy weights but bullying the lighter character set is way too much fun.

Mushroom past the last corners, I guess.

Yeah, leading is much easier that being mid-clusterfuck in the pack...

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

YES

RAINBOW TIME!

 

[llehuty]

Getting some podiums tonight, I'm actually improving?

Are you tricking off the back of the giant eel? You can pretty much do that endlessly back and forth.I always gain time on them there.

And make sure that you're always ready for that tricky final turn as sometimes even the AI mess it up. At least a mushroom saved to shortcut over the bend there could help a lot.

Edit: You probably know this but just in case; make sure you trick through all the water spouts for extra boosts.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

connection was kinda lol on that one...I hit one Rosalina with a Horn she just kept spinning and going like nothing happen

I am tricking over the eel all the time yeah A mushroom saved will usually win me the game, but that isnt always that easy to plan. What about which vehicles to use?

 

[daydream]

RAINBOW TIME!

You guys are assholes. ;_;

 

[ffdgh]

But I'm still at work :'(

Who will finish six places ahead of me when I get home now?

...Prinny?

Nah I'll be back. Got stuff to do at the moment.

 

[NotLiquid]

Yes hello Nintendo why is the first turn in the cave of Bone Dry Desert the worst thing ever

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

RAINBOW TIME!

well... that didn't end well....
