Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion

[Jinglefruit]

Twitch is working now, so I'll be streaming at 8:30PM EST.

Stream will be here: http://www.twitch.tv/shiirahime

I guess the timing works out, since the WiiU wants to perform a system update right now anyway. lol

By the way, anyone here who wants me to add you to friends list so you can play on the stream, please lend me your Nintendo Network IDs! Mine is right there in the sidebar.

Cool, I sent you a request. (Jinglefruit NNID aswell)

Am glad I decided to practice before anything, I am awful after playing MK Wii and 7 over the weekend.

Thanks for coming, Jingle and Zigzag! : )

Fanks for streaming. Was a duckload of fun.

 

[Cress]

I would be if it was later, maybe Friday. I'd like to try out the courses in single player first, get a feel for them.

I am fine with this.
So can we all agree that Link will be the new Rosalina?

 

[Zigzag991]

Thanks! Was lots of fun!

Now I know all the names of the Koopalings:

Larry Larry, Ugly Larry, Kingrock Larry, Tranvestite Larry, Rainbow Larry, over-loader Larry, and Rocker Larry! (I messed up the names of the Larrys :X)

Thank you for that valuable life lesson, Jingle!

See you all on Thursday!!!! DD

If he is the same weight class and the Master Cycle acts like the Jet Bike then I'm so set

I know he is the same weight class and I know the Master Cycle has inside drifting. Since all of the inside drifting bikes have the same stats, I'd say they'll have the same stats as well. Now to see what stats the Triforce Tires have...

=D tbf, I mess them up myself in the panic of playing MB or driving. So long as the description roughly fits only 1 of the Larrys then it's good enough. But Ludwig is always ugly, Wendy is always something remotely genderbending, Morton is always Rock(er/star/god).

 

[JJarmon]

Whenever any of you are playing again, I'd love some piece of the action! I'm getting back into MK8 after just taking a break.

 

[violetneko]

When I finally get MK8 I'll finally be able to join

It drops everywhere on Thursday. :V
I'll be starting up my Wii U right after the eShop updates so I can download it. Gonna practise a whole bunch, and hopefully I'll be able to play a bit with you guys later on.

Er, mer, gerd. I need to learn to drive as a heavy character.
Gold Peach's, Rosalinas and Mortons keep bullying me. :c I've just had 2 races where I've gone from 1st to last being pushed off edges repeatedly. D:

Sorry m8

 

[Jinglefruit]

Sorry m8

Ha, like it was ever you pushing me off, you were always half a lap ahead.
I had a lot of awful endings to my races while you were playing, but the worst was after you left, 1st to 12th without moving being shoved off Rainbow road 4 times lead to me stopping.

TBH it's not really going to matter. You're going to be thrown around like a pinball regardless of your weight...

I've noticed when I play as Yoshi I get shoved less far, so I'm assuming Bowser in a kart won't go half the width of the track in an single collision like I get so often with Larry.

Simillarly, I find the bank of cloud on Cloudtop Cruise awful to navigate with lighter characters, the dips in the cloud will ~rarely, but enough to be annoying~ completely turn you 90 degrees into the walls sometimes, and I've not had this at all with medium and heavies.

 

[Zigzag991]

I'll be racing World Wide if anyone wants to join!
