I'll be playing on Thursday and should hopefully not have any interruptions. I'll probably make it to most of the weeks during Summer, except maybe one or two. It's not something very time consuming,

WTF was this?

Not only did some people already have a race before the tournament started but everyone left after the 4th race.
I definitely wasn't late. I checked the tournament every few seconds and immediately joined as soon as it didn't display the warning anymore.


I entered the first room to see a practice race going on between 3 players. I was still able to join the next race which was the first "official race"

 

I DID NOT LEAVE AFTER THE 4TH RACE! I was disconnected. I was also shocked to see very few people (only 2 other than me and my partner) when I rejoined. It seemed to be a hiccup on Nintendo's end?

 

I entered the second test. But it was only me, my partner and one other player.

Also, who is Roland and why did he kick so much ass?

So it turns out it really was my WiiU clock that was behind.(why doesn't this fucking thing synchronize with the internet?)

How do I join friend rooms? Do I see them automatically if a room is open?

game is a blast, the graphics are very disappointing though, we were playing on a 50 inch tv and the IQ and jaggies really take away from the beautiful art style.


weird. Playing on a 47" LG, zero jaggies. Maybe a crappy HDMI cable?

the game has no AA.  how can it have zero jaggies,  they are very visible even in motion, the flickering is even more annoying.

I seriously have no idea what you're talking about. Flickering? Maybe you're superman with super-human vision =)

Online>Friends, an open room should be displayed right at the top near the "Create a Room" option. Alternatively, you should be able to select the name of the host from your friends list. But I think that the name of the host will jump right to the top anyway.

Great. Looking forward to Thursday then. But first I need a new car.

Which one did you use?

So you were the US-American who brought a partner. Thanks for that, because it made me abandon the idea to use tournament rooms for good.

I am Roland.


Yes.

Though I must say, I'm not from the US. I only put my NNID and System settings to US so I can access the US E-eshop.

 

Also, I HAD YOU IN THAT 4TH RACE I HAD A RED SHELL I WOULD HAVE WON IF I HAD NOT DISCONNECTED! >:[

So your practice run didn't turn out so well either, Rol? I guess I will definitely have to re-think this for my Tourney and end up having to use Friend Rooms... ho hum.

I'm sorry about this but I will not be able to join the tournament this Thursday so I'm dropping out :(

Anyone else slightly annoyed that you are forced to use specific drivers just to have a competitive and balanced car?

You could also say that you are forced to use specific body parts and tires to have a balanced car.

Yes, but car parts aren't Toadette, so it doesn't hurt so much deep in your soul to replace them.
