JJ Johnson 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devo 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 More accurately, constant drifts that move you from one side of the track to the other. Like a snake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

claydude14 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thoth 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2005 Go ahead and make me feel stupid why don't ya. My record is a horrible 5-12, oh yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Johnson 0 Report post 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.

Guest Smues Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ced 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treble 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renegade 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
