Mario Kart Wii - May 16 08 C

[lukasdoorknob]

anyone want to share their freind code with me

[thingman111111]

who is that in the first race in koopa cape?

[Overhazard]

I was using a Mii of Thomas Jefferson in the Daytripper.

[MrTheOldManGuy]

just because he doesnt both to block reds doesnt mean hes a TTer, the best TTers ( tt - time trail) have 9999vr and 3 stars like me adn he isnt that good for his vr he doesnt know how to SMT

[Overhazard]

So then what would you call him then? He seems pretty inexperienced at items yet a lot more experienced at driving.

[MrTheOldManGuy]

well id call him a skilled learner like u, he has alot of skills but can learn alot more

[Overhazard]

Yeah, I've gotten better since I recorded that video as well. I still can't get my VR above 8500 though. People attack me a lot.

[Azurekate]

W33D killing is such tedious work.

[SecretAgent917]

um how did your points go from 6997 to 7041...

[Overhazard]

They're not consecutive races.

[RainbowDragonkid1000]

I hate Blue Shells when they are used against me. In the old games, human players would get hit by Blue Shells only when playing 150cc or Mirror mode. From "Mario Kart DS" and on, you will get hit by a Blue Shell no matter the engine class. That Stinks!! :(

[Rinsting]

Snes Ghost Valley 2 don't look some hot on your video capture device.

[4514nj35u5]

It doesn't really look hot anyway.

[Rinsting]

I meant, you can't see much.

[Overhazard]

Ah, it's like that playing the actual game too. There's a weird black fog in SNES Ghost Valley 2 that prevents you from seeing too far. As I never had Super Mario Kart, I had to rely on the map to know where I was going for the first week or so I had this game. Mirror Mode still trips me up.

[TMW001]

Man at the begging of the race that player you were racing against held onto the lead for a long time lucky you caught up.

[Overhazard]

I get the feeling that Blue Shells become more common the wider the lead is between 1st and 2nd, since this W33D guy zoomed away in nearly every race and I saw multiple Blue Shells hapen nearly every time.

[qazqazdabest]

LOL this W33D guy plays similarly to me. I'm not really that good with items, but have beaten like 25 of the expert staff ghosts on time trial... Daisy with the Mach Bike, best combo ever!

[Overhazard]

I've traditionally been the other way around. I'm an average driver with Mario Kart, but I can slow people down with items very well.

[SecretAgent917]

i'm really good at throwing bombs... as in throw it forward and it hits and blows up on other people!!!

[GeneralSecura]

Hey Overhazard, have you already unlocked Dry Bowser? My friend is having real problems with it and would like some tips, if possible.

[Overhazard]

Actually, I haven't unlocked Dry Boser yet. That was my next thing to do for Mario Kart Wii.

I have gotten at least a 1-Star ranking on every Mirror Mode cup though, and I think that if I can 1-star those, I can 1-star 150cc.

[bobby56781]

yeah, i managed it (no tips i can think of right now, sorry, it was ages since i did it) and i found it fairly difficult and i only have a VR of 5500 so you shouldnt find it too hard

[Overhazard]

Sometimes. The game sometimes puts you in a room with people who have similar VRs as you, sometimes slightly higher, and sometimes they just mix everything up and put in everything.

Say, I have a question to ask you: Can you see your comment that originally asked what VR stands for? I can't see it. it's disappeared for me.

[dalandb4time]

Actually, not now...

Weird huh?

[Overhazard]

VR stands for Versus Ranking. It's not a dumb question; it's explained in one tiny portion of the instruction manual and never anywhere else, and I only picked it up on my second read-through.

[Kryptoburn257]

AHAHAHAHA!! Your opening on that video's description just cracked me up!

[UndyingSupremacy31]

Is this on Mirror Mode? If so, how can you do online Mirror Mode?

[Overhazard]

I don't know what the conditions are, but I didn't see it until I unlocked Mirror Mode. Thus, I think the condition is that every player in the race has to have unlocked Mirror Mode for it to appear online.

[Rinsting]

Um, are Expert Staff Ghosts also called Fast Staff Ghosts?

[LLAMALOVER657657657]

Yes.

[Rinsting]

Lol, yeah, I kinda realized that the Moment I got Funky Kong. Thanks.

[dembonez19]

I've discovered that I race like a time trialer. If there's enough space for me to do so, I take lots of risks, especially on tracks like Rainbow Road, DK Summit, and Wario's Gold Mine.

SNES Ghost Valley 2 is another one. I always take the shortcut, and I pray that no one behind me has lightning. It's a Mach Bike friendly shortcut too.

Ugh...disconnections. I DC'd twice this morning and dropped to around 6980, and you know I was pissed. I wish DC's didn't count toward the VR, but whatever.

[Overhazard]

I wish the game could distinguish a purposeful disconnection from one caused by interference. Metroid Prime Hunters could distinguish them, and that was an early Wi-Fi game by a 3rd-party company, so Mario Kart Wii has no excuse.

[Magicmenez]

way too many blue shells for anyones liking. you almost have to pity the guy

[Caniki]

Damn, hit by a blue shell right before the finish line. I bet he was furious.
