Not having much luck, strike two with the comms errors.

More great racing tonight... albeit we lost Dragon and Celer :( .

Hypes grabbed second... using the patented "arrive late and race the computer" technique ;-).

Thanks for the karting, chaps!

I had a surprisingly good night :-) Won a race (I beat Matt!) almost won another, and came second in a few :)

I was having problems with my weapon selection though - most of the time I had to wait for it to cycle all the way through...it wasn't quickly selecting :x

:slol: :toot: :fp: What?!! Do you wait for the weapon to cycle through each time when you drive through a question mark block?!!

If you press the weapon button, it selects the weapon immediately... :)

Only tonight, for whatever reason, it wasn't working!

Honestly spamming the weapon button seems to make you get worse items anecdotally.

Funnily enough, I did get better items than usual last night by having to wait for it to cycle through...

I didn't know this. I always wait for it to cycle through and select :fp:

Thanks for the tip :)

I haven't played a lot of Mario Kart before the Wii U version (SNES for a few hours, N64 for an hour, DS not at all, Wii for an hour, 3DS not at all)... even though I have 'em :fp: :lol: .

Grum and I have obviously been playing it pro class right from the off :datass: .

Hypes (as he well knows) did not finish second. Only Staydead starts five races later than anyone and then claims it's legit. Hypes has more class than that.
