JJ Johnson Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 Argh, why is it so damn hard to find people online? Takes forever, it seems, and I've got a fast connection. We should race, Downhome.
Downhome Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 I'm going to go through and add everyone's information posted in this thread so far.
devo Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 You'd have to actually try to be last if I was racing. Most of the guys online try to use the snaking method, and I just can't stand doing it myself. What's snaking? Basically using a drift to get the power boost during a straightaway.
JJ Johnson Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 More accurately, constant drifts that move you from one side of the track to the other. Like a snake.
Downhome Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 It's taking advantage of a move that was programmed into the game, meant to be used, where you get a boost when doing a sharp turn. People found a way to do this while going straight by doing the move over and over again, left to right to left to right over and over again.
JJ Johnson Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 My challenge still stands, Downhome.
claydude14 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 My DS is charging right now then I'll go through and add everyone who's posted their friend code. I use a Smackdown! logo for my decal actually, I found it on some old AC site.
Thoth Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 I'm worried that my router won't allow P2P connections through the DS, and thus my DS would give me an 86420 when connecting with friends. Would love to test this out.
JJ Johnson Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 So, what does everybody's record online look like? I'm a lowly 16-24.
Guest Smues Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 I think I was 7-5 last I looked.
Downhome Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 I'll get online soon. How do you check your own record?
JJ Johnson Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 Where it says Records on the main menu.
Hoff Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 I'm going to check Best Buy either tomorrow, if I get up in time to do it before work, or Friday. So, Friday.
Downhome Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 Go ahead and make me feel stupid why don't ya. My record is a horrible 5-12, oh yeah.
Hoff Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 So, before you all played online, how would you have rated yourselves? Because I think I'm pretty good, but I have a feeling I'm in for a rude awakening.
JJ Johnson Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 Playing online's a pretty humbling experience, but I've gone on a bit of a winning streak lately - up to 20-24 - so I'm not complaining. Hell, I wasn't complaining when I was getting my ass whipped. It takes an awesome game to keep me playing even if I'm getting destroyed. Oh, and you're in for a VERY rude awakening if you play as Toad. Just a heads-up. Also, I wish the game told you if your friends were online, instead of making you guess and look foolish as you sit there looking for what isn't there.
Hoff Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 Oh, and you're in for a VERY rude awakening if you play as Toad. Just a heads-up. .....
claydude14 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 23-66 right now... been more on the winning side lately.
Guest The Spike Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 12-33 Not very good, but I'm starting to get better. Also, I added all the friend codes that were posted in this thread.
Guest Smues Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 I wish in addition to wins/loses the game kept track of disconnects. I'm getting sick of people dropping after 2 races because they're way behind.
devo Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 Name: Devo 180450 923897 Added everyone in the thread.
Hoff Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 I'm not on much of a connection, but... Name: Hoff (duh) FC: 163271 065814
Ced Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 Added ELM and Hoff. Went 6-10 in my WFC debut. Stole three wins by stopping the would-be winner at the line with an item. I'm also finally getting the hang of the mini-turbo which is quite great in the right situations.
Hoff Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 I got the WiFi USB Connector and it ISN'T WORKING. Clearly, I am fated never to be online. The worst is that it installed perfectly...the program just won't run.
treble Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) I just had that same problem, so I had to download the newest version from nintendowifi.com and it seems to be working now. So, Tim 146091 276556 I think I've got everyone in here's friendcodes added to mine, too. Edited December 31, 2005 by treble
Hoff Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 I downloaded the new software, and now I get an "Internet Connection Sharing Error." It won't even install. Somehow, I've moved backwards. Furthermore, NOA said they'd call me yesterday, but did no such thing. This is not going well...
Renegade Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) I'm waiting for my wifi usb thing to arrive then I'll add the people here. Until then I'm trying to figure out this snaking thing. I mean it's doable on long corners, but on a straight I just keep crashing into the walls. Edited January 2, 2006 by Renegade
JJ Johnson Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 Use a small kart, like Yoshi's Egg 1.
