Racing for Fulcon Capital
|
I set up an N64Forever.com "Tournament" in the online menu of Mario Kart 8. It runs every night at 10:30 pm U.S Eastern Daylight Savings Time (New York City time). Code: 8073-6384-4485 So if you are karting at that time, check it out; you might be able to race against fellow members here for fun and MK8 excitement. UPDATE: We'll try to schedule races for Friday nights at 10:30 pm NYC time. |

That was great! Can't wait for next week! Instead of just crashing your Mario Kart 8 tournament every week from now on, I should introduce myself. My name is Brandon and I am from NSW. I am an avid Mario Kart fan (although anyone racing me just then would think differently ) |

Ha, I was wondering, lol. That was fun, thanks to all for joining: Boomdiers, Lualis, Kel and Amy (of KelamyAUS), Fistonik and Grizzmeister! Interesting note: Grizz and I happened to meet up on a worldwide race afterwards. Grumble Volcano. At one point, we were running 1 and 2, but items happen. We managed a 4/5 finish, which was not too shabby considering some of the allstars in the race. I will be away from my Wii U next Friday, but the tournament will open regardless to all who are interested. Edited by bluedogrulez, Jun 21 2014, 07:47 AM.

You've got some serious skills, Boomdiers! I'm looking forward to doing it again next week.
I think we got zapped by a Lighting Bolt within sight of the finish line. Had a lot of fun last night with our friends Down Under! I was amazed, quite honestly, how smoothly everything ran given the physical distance between contestants. |

I'm available tonight although I think Bluedog has other plans. Maybe we can still do a Friday race night but start a little earlier? Hey DarkLink, send me a friend request, my NNID is Grizzster. |

There was only 3 of us Grizz Brandon and me. We had fun but last race Brandon and I got disconnected for some reason, I've had so much experience online so I know it will be hard to catch up to me but all it matters that you guys had fun. Hopefully will get a full house

Mario Kart 8's item balance happened. Boomdiers was certainly the man to beat last night. His kart was tailored for top-end speed (Metal Mario, Circuit Special, Cyber Slick) and without me or Brandon able to cut his lead with Lighting or a Blue Shell, he was essentially just running time trials. Don't get me wrong, Boomdiers is VERY skilled but the dynamics of MK8 don't really allow for the come-from-behind wins that Mario Kart is traditionally known for. For example, whenever I was in second place I kept getting Coins as my item even though I already had reached the 10 coin mark. Maybe Andy will switch the N64Forever server over to Frantic Mode to make our races more like traditional Mario Kart outings. Regardless, I'm still down for additional races although I hope more people join next time.

Okay, it's mid-day Thursday here in the States, so time to ask who is in on MK8 Friday night races? I note that we are competing with Fireworks (myself included), though many displays have been cancelled here in NJ due to pending Hurricane Arthur. |

Hey guys, don't be intimidated by Boomdiers' mastery of Mario Kart 8. To become the best you have to race against the best. I'm down for Saturday, just let me what time in East Coast hours. Yep, today is Friday July 4th here in the United States. It's the day that we celebrate our Independence. Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday and if you must drink don't drive unless it's Mario Kart.

Saturday is very possible for me. We looking at the same time? Doesn't have to be a tournament for points or anything. Just be fun to race together. |

Saturday at 10:30 PM it is. The tournament will be live (I actually set it up to run every night at 10:30), so for the first 8 races or so, a tally will be kept. |

I may start a new Frantic Mode tournament and run it during the day here in the U.S. so more of our European members can join in.

Yes Darklink, I believe that is correct. As I stated when I set this up, it was intended for North American members without exclusion of a separate tourney being set up for the PAL region. This tourney time works for NA and some Aussie members, but regrettably not for our European friends. |

Good times! I was trying out a heavy character, and man I'm going to have to work on that. We got disconnected and tried to come back and couldn't get back in the same group. I was able to rejoin the main group though by going through the friends menu. I selected to join BDR and it put me back in the group. So FWIW, if anybody gets dropped in the future, make sure you have the NID of somebody else and try that. We had fun. Thanks guys! |

Thanks everyone for joining a Saturday edition of Friday night races! Kel, Amy, Grizz, Boomdiers, Kartmaster, Mrs. Kartmaster and yours truly. (Funny, afterward Boomdiers and I raced. He whipped me good but waited at the finish line with a little gift. We both blew up as I crossed the line "first"; I had a good laugh at that. Good one, B!) |

Heavy characters have great top end speed but they're unforgiving around corners. You really have to memorize every track and start sliding around the corners early if you're going to stick with a character like Bowser. Boomdiers is really good at Mario Kart 8. It felt like a major accomplishment on the rare occasions when I beat him. Kel also has some skills so it looks like the people Down Under take their kart racing seriously yet they still know how to have fun and keep MK8 in its proper perspective.
