We're happy to accept any nationality in our kart parties. However, please join us in #videogames first so we know that you're an osu! member interested in joining us.
Thank you.
Also, someone should probably edit the OP with our standard time now. W/E
EDIT: Also, I think I'll use this combo again next time.

I said this in Skype but you didn't hear it... I think it was probably someone one of us faced in worldwide that found us in the rivals list and said "ooh, that mii looks neat, I'll race this person again".
At least I think you can join community via rivals.

New music park drum strat:
Hold your right drift into and out of the drum, release just before landing on the far side, land into a left slide. If done correctly, you should strafe to the right.

Best thing about these kartparties: the sudden drop from 1st to 8th /o/
Anyway, was fun- and rage-filled as always~ Too bad it ended shorter than usual...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Just covering all my bases. ~Soaprman wrote:

New music park drum strat:So practicing that for next time. Tired of bombing races due to screwing up the drums. Thanks!

I'm bored. Let's play, "Rank our players!"
1. Greg (I think we can all agree on that one. STOP WINNING)
2. Blaze
3. Soap
4. Yoshi
5. CNM
6. rust
7. Ekaru (D:)
8. Gloop
9. Remmy (If he's scared of Gloop then that is *not* a good sign. MWAHAHAHAHA!)
I probably forgot somebody. Oh, if I was to put Elly in then I'd put Elly in the top 3 somewhere. Elly doesn't come on often enough for me to give Elly a ranking, though.
Oh, I forgot jj! Oops. Oh well! \o/

This is why I wish the scores wouldn't keep dropping each month... but then again some people would play whenever others aren't and so on.Ekaru wrote:

I guess there's always the win/lose ratio screen, but until then... NINTENDO, MAKE A BETTER LEADERBOARD SYSTEM!
I'm not sure I'd rank you below me, but otherwise the list looks pretty good. MM is definitely the best of all of us.Ekaru wrote:

Also, I started playing on WW again. Is it just me, or do most of the people who pick Metal Mario with that overused combo not know what they are doing? It's like they just pick the combo they see used all the time in TT and copy it because they think this is Mario Kart Wii, completely forgetting that this game has different mechanics.
EDIT: Actually, I might be 4th, since I've never really seen Soap use a light character yet he still manages to have a pretty even W/L ratio with me.
I'm really strong.

Added Etiquette Rules just now, too, in hopes that we'll never have to suffer through somebody spamming Toad Circuit for like 2 hours straight again.Blazevoir wrote:

Ekaru: I find your play style very tenacious. I'd place you right up there with Blaze for sure.
Btw. Who is yoshi on this list o.o ?
An old friend of mine from across the cyberweb. His account name here and elsewhere is Yoshi348.
Uhh... Stupid question, but do the etiquette rules only apply to Community? (AKA clarify the OP, yo!)

I'll try and get into more of these now that I know what time it's at
Thing is, we've actually been getting 8 player kartparties recently, so there might be a chance you'll either have to wait till someone else leaves or join a separate group
Assuming the latter happens, we could probably still play with two groups:

- One Group would have to be full
- 9th or so person attempting to join would automatically make a 2nd group
- A few/Some people from the first group could tag the person in the 2nd group

My only point was that you shouldn't be picking the same course over and over and over the entire freaking time. Don't worry about it!Blazevoir wrote:

What I removed (read this first!)
So, this is probably gonna sound extremely silly, but I thought about a way to make things a bit more interesting for our next kartparty:
For testing purposes (and to see if I'll keep this up), you'll have to try and hit me with certain items/a certain amount of items as part of challenges I'll be setting (they'll be announced before each race or so; Community races only unless we somehow get a Worldwide party with only us osu! people). For example, if I say "Try and hit me with 5 green shells within one race before it ends" (you MUST be somewhere within my touchscreen/range for it to count) and you manage to do so, you get a point. (No, I'm not letting it stack AKA you hitting me with 10 green shells for 2 points, etc. Yes, more than one person can get a point for the same challenge. Also, since I'm sure we all have different internet speeds, I'll be judging things from my screen.) The challenges, of course, will vary. Also, if any challenges involve more than one race (ex.: Try and hit me with a Blue Shell 3 times within 3 races), you'd get a point for each successful attempt. Whoever has the most points from these challenges wins!
Now, like I said before, this is just something silly I came up with, and you don't HAVE to do this. I just wanted to try something that'll probably make things a bit more competitive (and possibly more fun) even though you don't really win anything out of this. That being said, if this manages to catch on, I WILL be posting a leaderboard after each kartparty session. To keep things fair (especially for those who either couldn't join in right away or decide to leave early), a person can only have a certain max amount of points per session (which will probably vary depending on the amount of people playing/who agree to do this).
So what do you guys think?

So what do you guys think?
After you've read the above
To be honest, I didn't think things through and will most likely scrap the above idea, and here's why:
- This will definitely requite a lot of concentration on my end, so I honestly don't know if I'll be able to track each hit properly.
- I suck at creativity, so the challenges will probably be generic (though if I try to add anything complex, it'll probably ruin what place you'll end up in).
- Since mm usually "does Time Trials" during most of the races, the challenges wouldn't be fair on his end.
- The above idea (first spoilerbox) was something I typed out of boredom.

Can we hit mm instead?

You MUST join us next kartparty Grab the codes you need (especially the osu! MK7 Community one) at the Nintendo 3DS Club thread.
EDIT: ...Even though I said all that, there's a chance I might not be able to join this weekend's kartparty, if there's gonna be one. Apparently my net's capped at the moment ._. I'll edit this post again/make another post if something changes.

I probably won't make tomorrow's party unless it goes on really long. I'm going to be heading to the fair to watch a friend's band play.
Yeah turns out I'm visiting my cousins over in Lake Tahoe so yeah. unless my uncle magically installed wifi in his car, I might not make it this saturday
It doesn't bother me either way. It's not like the kartparties are mandatory anyway (though I'd still like to race with new people as well).

Or we can storm worldwide and grind up to a million VR.
Sundays are sometimes bad for me, usually because that's when my family and I eat out (not that it's tradition or anything, but it seems like we hardly ever go anywhere till Sunday).Ekaru wrote:

After 4 weeks i realized that we suddenly have Etiquette Rules:

I might join today again ._.
I also noticed the last time that you guys highlight me often while we do kartparties ... that's funny, because you should ´know already that i cannot chatbecause my room sucks but it actually does not suck because i like my room just the internet connection sucks

Hnnnnng!! I haven't been regular in the Kartparties as much as I used to and probably won't be for a while! I'm so busy, because I wanna finish KH first XD, but in all seriousness I have been really busy lately so count me out of a few Kartparties for a while and I'll try and make a future one as soon as I can.

Well, *now* I learn that you can cancel bob-omb explosions with the Tanooki Tail. It would have helped a lot to have known that earlier. XP
Meh... They usually blow up on me before I get the chance ._.
Topic Starter
Are you trying to do it on reaction? You basically need to "feel out" when the bob-omb is going to explode for the correct timing. Even then it's only worth the risk if you're on like SNES RR or something where there isn't much else you can do other than stopping completely.Blazevoir wrote:

As if you'd ever have a tail at the right time.

I'm considering starting it one hour earlier, though, to make it easier for people to play longer.
10PM? Gonna need to hole up alone in my basement and sit beside my router to get a good connection there late at night. xD
How long does it usually go until?

It varies. Sometimes it can be as long as 3+ hours, sometimes as short as 1-2 hours. As far as any additional rules go, please add kartparty to your highlights so you'll know when we're starting or when you can join in (if there ends up being connection issues or if we're starting up a new set).Justykanna wrote:

More on the Skype thing: though it's completely optional, we'd love it if you could join us on there so we can rage at each other in real time
Oh yeah... The osu! Mario Kart 7 community code is over at the Nintendo 3DS Club thread, if you haven't grabbed it already. It'd also help to grab some of the friend codes there since we usually go on Worldwide if there's 4 players or less.
Uhh... Yeah... I think that's pretty much it. Everything else is usually discussed in-game. Hope to see ya there!
I dunno what you mean by adding 'kartparty' because I've never done this before. I'll have to look around the multiplayer stuff before tomorrow I guess.Justykanna wrote:

My computer's in my room on the top floor of the house and the router's in the basement. Chances are, if I want a good internet connection, I'll need to be in the basement but that's another thing I'll have to test out. How do you join rooms in Skype, never done that before either.
Whose friend code, yours?
I just colored the important parts ^^
One person (usually me or mm) starts a call and adds others on their friend list to it. If you want, you can go ahead and add me on there. (Skype name: soaprman)Justykanna wrote:

As for friend codes, you don't need to add everyone, just as long as you've added someone in the group if we play worldwide. I'll add you if you're playing with us tomorrow night.
I am amazed at myself at how long it took me to do all that...
I've 'favourited' the osu! community in Mario Kart 7 and added the kartparty to the osu! in game highlighter (thank you bomber).
Hopefully I'll be ready to go tomorrow.

I really hope I can find a way to get better internet, otherwise I probably won't be able to play in many more of these for a while T T

My Stars usually get Lightning'd when I try to save them ._.
I was hardly paying attention to the top screen to make sure I used the star in time, lol
Was a fun first time for me, regardless of being close to (if not) last every race.
Part of it is I dunno how the shortcuts and tricks that most other seem to know too though. =P
I'll probably come next week.

Also, some tips:* MT (mini-turbo) whenever it's relevant.
* When drifting, hug the inner part of the turn as much as possible, though be careful when doing this when there's no wall.
* (This was mentioned during the kartparty, but I'll repeat it here anyway.) When getting shot out of a cannon, hold Down to get a speed boost during flight.
* Not sure if you knew this already, but you can trick off of glider ramps to get a slight speed boost.
* Stay behind someone long enough to get a draft/slipstream (it's basically a huge speed boost that lasts for a short while). BE CAREFUL WHEN TRYING TO DO THIS WHEN SOMEONE'S HOLDING AN ITEM BEHIND THEM AS WELL AS DURING TURNS!
Too bad i couldn't join, because of the time :/

I dunno what you mean by mini-turbo.
I know to hug inner part of ramps but I usually don't do it if there's someone nearby who can push me off. I tend to use karts that are light with high acceleration so bumping me off isn't exactly difficult.
Never knew about the holding down part. Someone said to hold something but I didn't hear em.
I do trick off of any sort of ramp when I can. Stages like Rainbow Roar when the bumps are sorta random I tend to miss them all.
I didn't actually tend to stick behind people because they can just move, unlike computer players.
