Hey, I have a quick question guys. I've added about five roster pages worth of buddies so far, but only five people from GFF have actually been confirmed. Of course, the most obvious answer is that these people have yet to confirm me, but does anyone know if the buddy system is like Brawl, where even after both people confirmed each other, they have to be online at the same time in order to be added to each other's rosters?

Yeah, it's like Brawl. I added the entire wiki a few nights ago and only maybe 6 people are confirmed. At least there's less lag than Brawl and a meeting room, but it would be nice to be able to actually type things to friends instead of being limited to "GO BLUE TEAM!"

Oof, 10PM EST coincides with OLDK Time. I can probably join in after about an hour, but there's no guarantee that's how long the session would last. If you guys would still have room around 11-12PM EST, then I'd like to join. If not, that's fine. No sense in trying to save a slot if you already have the twelve player maximum.

I just tried to log onto WiFi multiple times, but it won't let me connect. Hopefully this problem will be fixed before 10pm. Then again, it's my little brother's Birthday and he might be playing it then. Despite the game being mine, the Wii is him, and it's his birthday. Bleh, we'll see what happens.

Just found out about the Worldwide tournament going on right now (I've been out of the Mario Kart news)...I guess I like the fact that it is GP style since you can get items to help your time (i.e. you can't completely skill your way to the best score like in TT) but it is really damn annoying when those blue shells/lightning/POWs come your way when you're trying to finish that perfect race =/

In any case, I don't know if anyone else had a chance to try their hand at the tourney, but it apparently ends today (5/9). A good warmup to some Wifi fun tonight hopefully.

EDIT: Also, the tourney race right after I posted this, a blue shell came at me and I somehow managed to mushroom away from it O_O I thought that was the stuff of Youtube videos only. Too bad no one will believe me =/

But the rest of the race was a wash and I had to restart...bah!

Currently trying out Tournament Mode. I'm wondering how some of you guys, or especially the top ten got their records. The only thing I can possibly think of is people trying over and over to get the three mushrooms, using that shortcut each time, and never getting hit by a POW block, lightning, or Blue shell. I can't possibly see how staying in 1st the entire match will result in a good record, or even doing all of those requirements.

I also suck at the ghost trial thing. I think I accidently sent Kairyu a ghost while trying to get one for myself.

Yo, I won't be able to make it on until about 10:30 PM EST tonight. Waiting for a friend who's coming back from college. I plan to chill with her, but I'm gonna bring my Wii also. I just need some transportation time and some time to set up.

Well hopefully you'll come on sooner before everybody start getting tired and leave. :p

Rollins and I just started a room. Hopefully people will come.

Ugh... My internet is totally crapping out on me. Sorry guys, I can't maintain a connection long enough to stay on. I gotta fix it up. ;_;

I feel bad about asking everyone to race and I can't even get on myself. Hopefully, I could get this working a lot better tomorrow.

I like how I got home after everyone is done playing Mario Kart. Anyway, if anyone is up for some racing I will be online within the next 20 minutes!

I'm still on and room is open so join in NAO! XD

Well that sucked. I kept getting up in last place. I'm a total newbie. I quit to play Okami since I wasn't getting any better.

Wow, so much fun tonight. Too bad you couldn't join Chaotic. Lots of people showed up... to bad it wasn't all at once! 7 people was great and perhaps next time we can pass it and fill up the whole room. :)

Yeah, my family switched from DSL to Cable the other day. For some odd reason the connection through the wireless router isn't as strong with cable as it was with DSL.

I'll probably move my Wii down to my room just so I could get online. Until next time. :mad:

Sorry about that BigCN, got diconnected right after overtaking you in Grumble Volcano :(.
At least we got one good series of races. I still can't believe I fell off that many times in Ghost Valley =p

Mehhh stupid tournament. I can usually get through Mario Circuit in 1:42-1:47ish and that's with one spinout and no mushrooms (I uh...hit the chain chomp and lost the three you usually get in Time Trial/Ghost) and just boosting/doing wheelies everywhere. But I do the exact same thing on the tournament version without even getting hit by anything at all and the best I can manage is 1:53. I don't get what makes that difference. I was trying to beat my friend's rank of 1:47, nothing I do seems to work. Too late now since it's over but that annoyed me.

I assumed it's harder to get times less than 1:55 because the race is done in 100cc and not in 150cc. Like in the time trails.
One time I actually got 3 mushrooms, ran two laps without ANYTHING happening to me and then got raped with a blue shell, followed by two red shells. To add insult to injury I also got Lightning Bolted right before the last turn. What could've been a time of 1:39 turned into 2:00 or so *cries*

Shit the cc level is probably it. Seems so obvious now. It's been irritating me the past 3 days. But the items are a bitch, too...the few "perfect" runs I did were sprinkled between 20 or 30 tries where a lightning bolt or blue shell just screwed me hugely. CPU is so mean :(

Oh yeah, I know I don't really know anyone here but if you happen to see someone named "kuppy" online racing (or even on SSBB) it's me. My code is 2879 0034 7832. I've only really played Worldwide VS, I have yet to try Battle. I'm trying to get two stars in every cup since three stars is basically impossible for me right now. I did managed to get two three star 50cc retro cups at least..I think it was banana and lightning. Whichever one had N64 Bowser's Castle, that's my favorite course ever...mostly for the music.

Got hit by my own red shell the other day on 150cc. When the player in first was clearly in front of me.

Ugh.

SUICIDE BY RED SHELL I DO NOT WANT, DONKEY KONG. I KNOW YOU SUCK BUT GOD DAMN

HIIIIIIII...

I played some single-player today and unlocked two characters and some bikes. All that playing improved my skills somewhat...although the AI don't pose much of a challenge. I've gotten the Gold in all classes so far.

As for the Time Trials, in order to unlock things, do you need to beat the ghost? Even when I don't beat the ghost, I still get a "NEW RECORD!"

I wish Brawl had 2 player random online like MK has. Now my sister and I can play online without waiting for friends.

By the way, I switched to Channel 9 on my router and it's far more stable than 1 and 11 so far. I played quite a few matches before I even got a disconnect error.

You'll need to beat the staff ghost by a few seconds, the amount depends on the course. Basically if you have a comfortable 3-4 second lead on a staff ghost, then you'll get a "fast staff ghost" which counts towards unlocking things. You don't have to beat the fast ghost though.

I believe it's just saying you got a new record because it's looking at your own times, so if it's the first time you're playing a course, of course you'll get a new record.

But, even if you lose to the ghost...

Ah cool. Thanks for the info.

P.S. Anyone wanna play a bit later? I'm having chicken soup now, but I should be finished soon.

I can join in a bit... but what's your FC again? I deleted your FC by mistake and you deleted your FC on the wiki page. XD;

My FC is on the 8th page, but I'll be nice and repost it. It's 3866 8712 1330.

By the way, I added everyone on Wiki so like, you guys add me too, just 'cause.

BTW, what's your definition of 'a bit.'
