Lmao, in the race, where, yeh, i guessed you dced me, charelle and Bray, Bray finished first by a corner, then me, then charelle, i remember, vaguely getting a mushroom, flying past you, then watching your character smash into a wall, Charelle was like, hes gone isn't he lol.
Some of those early GPs were absolute pissers, and i reckon that Battle mode was mad fun, Blue team nearly stole it from us Elo, or was it us who stole it from them lol.
Would LOVE to get more Balloon Battles, 6 player preferably, or 12 would be insane, going tonight. We got a pretty good bunch of people in our aussie group, so i see lots of good mario kart nights in the future, as well as the league of course.
@genX, right now man, i will put you down as one of the B-League players, which will be an 8 person league (including you, got 5 already). BUT, if one of the A-League players drops from the league in the coming weeks, you will take up their spot no worries. I might even need to extend B-League to 12/16 players closer to launch.
Brays right, talking on msn after we all got dced, and there was an earlier Grumble Volcano that Bray zoomed past me with a Mushroom and beat me by a second, but then, when the standings came up, i got the 15 points. I've seen this happen a few times online in a worldwide 12 player match, but thats understandable, 12 players from heaps of diff regions and i reckon the online code is time based.
So, for example, maybe every 5 seconds or so, it updates, so when i was nearly at the line, it might have updated that i wasnt gonna be caught, while Bray passed me just before the line, had the update happened just then, it would have counted it right. So that's my guess, every few seconds it updates whos in the lead and the path they are on, as both myself and Charelle have beaten people worldwide and seen the same thing happen, although, its not that often.
It could also be, slightest bit of lag, game wasn't in sync, but we didn't realize it.
The fixture is up for those who wanna look at it, i'll do the B-League fixture as soon as i got the league finalized. Ladder will go up tonight, and that topic will stay locked till the 28th, as we only want people reporting games and discuss said games in there.
After playing friends last night, we realized, the 3 games per round we play, will have to be by doing a GP against your opponent, you'll each HAVE to pick the 3 courses in order (both players pick one, it gets picked) and the fourth race, wont count to the league, so you can race whatever on that lol.
Finally, just gotta say, Nintendo really make it hard to set things up, although their MK friends room, is the best they've done, but thats not saying much lol. I do like that when setting a match up though, you have a choice of:
GP: Actual four race GP with points, much cooler than just continuously racing in worldwide or continental.
TEAM GP: This is sweet as, will do some of this tonight.
Balloon Battle: While all out free for all would be sweet, teams work damn well in this mode, great stuff indeed.
Coin Battle: Meh, hate this mode lol.
So yeh, friends matches, are much more in depth than worldwide or continental, which is good overall i reckon.
