Yeah, thought it would do something special since we were friends. Was disapointed there was nothing different really. Didn't even recognize that we were friends really or make note of it in game.

But yeah was able to play one, then I got error code for first time. We were pretty even, knocking each other around. Helped you out at the end blue shelling person ahead of you I think. Put a solid 10 hours into the game in first day, done for the day.

Drakul 04-28-2008 01:13 AM

At the end of the race after you left it came up saying "Friend list :)" or something and it glowed orange. I clicked it and it said you where in a Worldwide Battle. Tried to join in but it wouldn't let me.

BTW does your Mii resemble you at all?

PapaGeorgio 04-28-2008 01:23 AM

My mii does resemble me to an extent. My mii looks older than I am. But I usually sport a beard, shaved head (not to skin but like buzzed all around), plus glasses.

Drakul 04-28-2008 01:25 AM

Oh, thought so. My Mii reembles me enough for people to get the idea how I look.

PapaGeorgio 04-28-2008 01:37 AM

overall though online people suck, hardly ever have a huge challenge. Currently at like 6300 rating I think for vs and for battle like 5700. Overall more fun than playing the computer. Currently just finished 50cc, starting 100cc. Not huge on the bikes. Do like the WiiMote/Nunchuck combo best though. Controls are easier plus you can do moves during jumps and wheelies with bikes. Plus playing with GameCube controller is weird as they changed buttons around from DoubleDash. Overall very good game for the Wii, got to get some friends over soon to play with me.

Drakul 04-28-2008 05:17 AM

Well, I'm undefeated by anyone on my friend list so if you fancy a challenge, keep an eye out for me and we can race 1-on-1

G 04-28-2008 08:09 AM

How do you race one on one?

Dave Youell 04-28-2008 09:45 AM

When you see your friends online, just go to create a room and I think that sends an invite to them

G 04-28-2008 05:31 PM

Yeah so this you add me, i'll add you is bullshit. should just let 1 person add, other accepts. I've added the other 2 in here with codes, but no one has done the same. :rant:



Played with you yesterday papa georgio, but it was battle races, and I wanted to do race races. You had 1 point, I had 6. :cool:

PapaGeorgio 04-28-2008 06:21 PM

See that is gay, I didn't even realize I was playing you yesterday. And same with Drakul today. He randomly joined and I barely noticed. Then we did a Mirror Cup. Was close, but I ended up fucking up. Should have been 2 wins to 2 wins, but he ended up getting 3. Last one I beat him just at the finish line, was intense.

But yeah, that is stupid how it doesn't like pop up a message saying a friend joined.

Also G, you must have only played one battle with me as I whop ass in Battle, especially coin.

Finally, Online VS still needs more talent. Up to like 6700 ranking now, don't get first all the time but usually do some damage on the people. But I'm lucky to be racing against one other person above 6000.

Drakul 04-29-2008 01:36 AM

Sorry I got disconnected halfway through DS Dry Dry Desert. Someone in my house decided to turn off the wireless connection for a while.

There was one thing that happened on our final race on the SNES Mario Circuit 3. My game showed me just make the finish before you yet ranked me as finishing 2nd. I've had it happen in Worldwide races when I came in 5th but got ranked as 6th etc. Dunno why. Probably when people cross the line almost simultaneously the game gets confused, maybe? Anyway, it was fun, we need more TPWWers though. 12 man, all TPWW Grand Prix.

Vietnamese Crippler 04-29-2008 02:12 AM

I'm starting to want to buy this game. Just give me a couple weeks :o

PapaGeorgio 04-29-2008 10:22 AM

Yeah I have had close finishes lie before. Either I get ranked higher or lower then I'm supposed to. Sometimes it is really bad and wasn't even all that close, but I survive.

Vietnamese Crippler 04-29-2008 01:40 PM

The reason that happens is because of the prediction system they use, like in Mario Kart DS, if you didn't know.

G 04-29-2008 01:51 PM

For some reason, everytime I play online I want to watch Harry Potter. :wtf:

Dave Youell 04-30-2008 11:25 AM

There's a guy called Chuck Norris who has 10000 points! Be aware

I haven't been online with it for over a week, I'll try to add everyone to mine tonight, I have the highly original name of Dave

G 04-30-2008 11:45 AM

I thought the max was 9999? The highest I've seen was 6000 I think.

G 04-30-2008 11:46 AM

Also, how do you see how many wins you have?

Drakul 04-30-2008 12:55 PM

On the main menu where it says "Single player" "Multiplayer" etc, there's a shot of your Miis head in the upper right corner. Select that, then "Records".

The highest score I've seen online is about 7500.

G 04-30-2008 01:13 PM

Oh, I just know of the thing that lets you switch your license.

PapaGeorgio 04-30-2008 03:08 PM

I'm at about 6500-6700 keep floating in that area.

Also for the online wins system incase people don't know how it is recorded I shall explain.

A Win is classified as the total amount of people you beat in a race. And a loss is total amount who beat you. So say you place 3rd in a 10 man race. You earn 2 losses and 7 Wins.

But yeah, I have seen maybe one person at 7000. Most are in the 5000's that I play. I get a couple 6000-6500 more now though.

G 04-30-2008 03:20 PM

Just played 2 guys in the 6ks who have golden wheels. They were good, we even did Rainbow Road a few times. God knows how they manage so well using that damn wheel. Fuck that.


We played the same god damn level 3 times in a row. GBA Bowser castle 3. Fucking hate it with 12 people. I was a little over 6k, then for some reason I got disconnected from the race and it put me back to 5800. :mad:

G 04-30-2008 05:23 PM

Gonna be online for the next 2 hours or so. Look me up.

Dave Youell 04-30-2008 05:27 PM

You guys have seriously not seen anyone over 7000?

Anyway, going online now

G 04-30-2008 05:41 PM

I can't get on. Happens every other time I try to go online. Always get an error code. This is stupid.

bollocks, not going on line then

Our experience shows that error messages within this range are typically caused by temporary network issues with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. If there is a problem with the network, our technician's will work to get the service back up as soon as possible. Please retry your connection later.

Dave Youell 04-30-2008 06:00 PM

teh gay

G 04-30-2008 06:01 PM

Well I'm at least happy I know it's not me.

G 05-01-2008 01:55 PM

Wanted to post my setup. $4.99, and it's fucking amazing.

Wow this is hands-down the best iteration of the MK franchise yet. Nintendo finally got online right. Been playing this nonnnnnnnnnnnnstopppppp. wtf is Brawl?


Since I use 100 replies/page and can't be fucked to swim through the needless thousands of images in page 1, I refuse to read prior replies to this thread. As such, what's everyone's favourite char/kart?? I like to mix it up between Bowser Jr. and Toadette, using the Mach Bike or Magikart. I really want to use karts instead of bikes but the drifting on bikes is just so much more fun...
crossrine

Vietnamese Crippler 05-05-2008 01:55 PM

I don't have a favorite character, yet, but I'm becoming really partial to the bikes.

BTW, post your damn friend code

road doggy dogg 05-05-2008 02:47 PM

I like the bikes a lot too, but I hate to be another min/max whore who just uses whatever works best. I like style over practicality. :(


Sec playing some online then I'll get mineeeeeeeeeeee

SuperSlim 05-06-2008 08:23 AM

those of you that claim to not have seen a 7000 before... weird. I see one everytime I race... oh yeah...

I'm one of those.

currently standing at a rating of 7320
345 wins and 50 losses

road doggy dogg 05-06-2008 01:51 PM

I see 8000+ people all the time. My rating's only about 6800 or so, I have no idea how to get my win/loss record lol

Go to your license on the main page, it's there

My fav right now is using Koopa and that bike that looks like a Magikoopa, I'm all about the high acceleration, but i'm light, so I struggle at the start as I get knocked about, but once I have a lead I'm gone, as long as it's not Luigi circuit, that's not very good for a bike with a low top speed

road doggy dogg 05-07-2008 12:09 PM

Yeah I love the Magikoopa bike as well, whenever I play a lightweight I use it.

I generally go for an "acceleration > speed" mindset as well when I play online. It's inevitable you're going to get knocked around a few times anyway, so you can't exactly treat it like a time trial, so the high speed isn't as useful imo...... Dave let's play sometime :D My FC is above, I added yours (as well as everybody else's that VC listed above my post)
crossrine

road doggy dogg 05-07-2008 08:58 PM

So I found my records haha... not as good as I was hoping for. 800-272 atm -_- What counts as a "win" anyway? Placing 1st? Top 3? Or just any match where you get + points?? Dunno. 182 first place finishes, IT IS DESTINY THAT I MARRY TOM DELONGE

road doggy dogg 05-07-2008 08:58 PM

Also rofl, 1337 item hits received. If I had a digital cam handy I would totally screenshot that.

Sexytime. I pretty much ignored the first 90% of this thread. You bastards need to add my FC, I added all yours and none of you are on my friend list yet.
crossrine

PapaGeorgio 05-07-2008 10:31 PM

Yeah I know you ignored the thread cause I read the thread and your post where you said that. But yeah, gonna shower and then I'll add you I suppose. But when Animal Crossing Wii comes out, me and RDD gonna run that shit.

road doggy dogg 05-07-2008 10:40 PM

I will plant many exotic fruit trees in your garden :love:
