I was wondering what that was that someone was doing against me. How fucking gay. Anyone here that does that in a match with me is off my list. Seriously lame shit.

This is why I'll only compete in Rival matches.

Im on for anybody who wants to play.

Also what is the rival option? opponents with similar win to lose ratios?

Wow... I just randomly tried a "Friend" search before shutting down and heading to bed, and surprisingly enough, I got a match against Soniku.

Only played a couple rounds before my eyelids got a hundred pounds heavier (tack on another hundred pounds from typing this up real quick.)

Damn fun though, and I hope I can get all my crap done early tomorrow so I can play some more and maybe even get a full 4 on 4 MKDS NG.com race going on.

Yea ran into some shithead that looked like he was just lagging like crazy, but would just take off. Lame shit.

What does the rivals option mean?

Im playing a few matches here and there.. although im noticing the style of play from a few races. There basically all over the road and they are leaving me in there dust. I cant explain why.. ive even had the same car as them.. and this tecnique only seems to work when there isnt alot of turns.. just straight track.. I mean are they using the slide tecnique to somehow gain boosts of speed on straight tracks? Or is it a ping glitch? I dont know... all i know is that there wheels are not on fire so it isnt that. There records reflect it too.. 112 and 8. Im just like wtf is going on. Some sort of cheating going on here. Anybody else know what this is?

EDIT: Its called snaking. Gay.. works though.. practicing now

Yeah, snaking is retarded. A lot of people find it a legitiment strategy because it takes skill and such, I suppose that is true, but I wouldn't think that a legitiment strategy would be so breaking to the game. You can utterly crush the Staff Ghost using the technique, which tells me that it is just a cheap exploit. Just be weary of people choosing carts with low drifts, as they are ideal for snaking. Another way to help try to avoid it is to pick tracks that don't have a lot in terms of straight-aways. Yoshi's Curcuit is a good one, as well as stages with a lot of mud, since sliding in mud doesn't work all that well.

I played some 4 player real DS (non wifi) linkup yesterday

it works great on single cart link - the load times are very minimal


and UK -> US communication works on multi cart link too , and vice versa


we had more fun playing band brothers 4 player though :kekeke:

Rival options mean people who have records similar to yours are matched up to you.

Note: I'll try to get on at Panera around 11 a.m. EST, GMT-5 hours, I give up on the Public Library option until Monday, so if anyone wants to get some games on, get on the WFC.

Its just not true though.. Ive been playing rival option.. and im 55 and 19

I get people with 20 and 40, 2 and 8, 35 and 32, all the way up to 86 and 10 <--these people snack btw.. and i disconnect right away now as it is like cheating really.. i dont do it and expect others not to do it.

And it happens more often then not. I really see no difference in regional and rival. Ill tell you one thing though.. i get more people lagging in rival then i do in regional. And have ended up losing twice now when i clearly won but lost because of lag.

Yeah that was pretty cool, I just got my new router yesterday, so I decided to play from my room instead of the pooper... I saw a blue and white icon on the bottom right-hand corner of my screen, I forgot exactly what the image is of, but apparently it means a friend is scanning since I found Average Joe when doing so.

They really need a better system, but for now I guess it works.

I'm going to go online in a few minutes to own up some n00bz (I'll probably just lose)...
