A lot of people I know are getting into Mario Kart, and an idea occurred to me as I was getting my ass kicked by Bowser in KF. Why don't we have a tournament?
Here's my idea for how it would work:
Each applicant should reply to this thread, leaving their screenname (for Mario Kart, of course), Time Zone, preferred character, decal description (or image), friend code (if you'd like it to be public), and estimated skill level (this can be expressed as what speed of racing you most enjoy, 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, etc…). Once the tournament roster has been decided, applicants in each branch can PM each other and determine an appropriate time of play, or to exchange friend codes if the person in question has not made his or hers public. Anyone who cannot be contacted for a certain period of time (say a day) will be disqualified.
Arlong Park Mario Kart Tournament!

Here is my application, as an example:
Screenname: RoboBlue
Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time
Racer of Choice: Donkey Kong
Decal: Battletoads Logo
Skill Level: 150cc -
I don't have a DS yet, yeah I know what's the point in posting to say I don't have a DS, but I was just wondering when this was going to be done. If it's after Christmas then I most likely can join in. Also is there going to be a maximum number of participants in this tournament?
-
Mario Kart aint even out over here so I can't join u.u
-
Allow me to be the second applicant.
Screenname: Himizujin
Timezone: Mountain Standard
Preferred Character: Daisy
Decal: Blue Circle with a Flame inside
Skill Level: 150cc (Although I haven't played up into 150cc yet, I'm confident enough in my skills from past Mario Karts to be able to play it)
Friend Code: 085959 000303 -
I probably won't have the time or skills to be in any sort of tournament, but if anybody here would like to get a video game ego boost by completely destroying me, feel free to PM me sometime and we could have a go at it sometime.
-
im a little confused…. is this not really arlong park at all and some form of other online thing. like an online ds attachment

I haven't gone on WiFi yet (but I plan to eventually), so I'll leave my info here:
Name: Carter?!
Time Zone: Eastern
Racer of Choice: Waluigi
Decal: El Steveo (an old doodle of mine; a poorly drawn and low detailed man with a mustache and a sombrero). If I could get that decal converter to work right it'd be a lot cooler..
Skill Level: I guess inbetween 100cc and 150cc. I beat everything on 100cc and some on 150cc, but it's mostly a pain.I'll post my friend code when I get the damn WiFi to work.

Nah, I don't see any need to limit the number of people.

Friend Code: 270642 578303my nintendo usb connector is currently in backorder
so might take a few more days for it to arrive : x -
Damn, I tried the WiFi at McDonald's today and couldn't get it to work. Then again, maybe it's because I tried it from my car without actually going inside…. but the DS could detect MccyD's WiFi, so I dunno.
-
do you need anything else? I already got a wireless router so…
-
How does the DS Wifi stuff work anyway? Don't have a DS, but curious.
-
finally got sorted around, so if anyone would like to race me then PM me. I'll post my friend code and other details once I feel I'm good to compete.
-
This may be off topic, and, if it is, I'm sorry. I have a request for a decal. I was wondering if anyone could make me one of Kaku from the Water 7 Arc of One Piece. Or, does anyone know where I can find some anime decals? Any help would be appreciated. Also, I'm getting a new wireless router in the next week, so, hopefully, I'll be good to race some time soon.

you can get them off the net!?
I didn't know that -

It'll convert the image into the decal grid and color selection in the game, so you can just copy what you see on the screen.

Yeah, half the time I tried something in the decal maker it looks really.. discolored.

Will snaking be allowed? I feel for the most part that I'm playing by myself when others snake…
-
snaking?
Explain more
-
snaking is when you do consequetive do quick drift boosts right and left
this'll carry you across the lap very quickly (when done properly)
however, this is a pretty difficult skill to master
and many ppl are complaining about it and claiming snaking to be abusing a glitch…(my opinion is...the people who complain about snaking are those who can't do it >__>;; )
I don't usually snake on wifi except when my competitors keep choosing the same tracks over and over again (because all they want is to win...not to have fun...asses..) or when my competitor has an offensive emblem >_>
so ya, anyway, does anyone wanna play already??
I got my usb connector and can play wifi now : D~ -
I can somewhat snake, but what's the point of items, if you can't even see any opponents…
-
NOOOOOOOOO!!!
sorroy this is kind of irrevelent but I saw this thread a few weeks ago. The next day I coundn't remember if it was a dream or not. I haunted me so much I couldn't brush my teeth. I then couldn't find this thread so I assumed it didn't exist. But now…now...
:wacko: -
Nintendo Wi-Fi is set up if you have some DSL connection of some sort, and a Nintendo wireless USB connector (or something like that). I think it should be sometime after christmas, that way we can have more people playing since a lot of people are gonna get the game and DS at christmas

I got my usb connector and can play wifi now : D~I just got the game today, and Snaking isn't that difficult. I'm pretty sure anyone at Arlongpark can do it.

Hey were do you guys get your display pics? I can't seem to find any, or do you guys make them? I'm not the best at making my own, but I can still try.
-
I got the game (and DS) now too and I neither can't yet participate. Besides, Meteos is just too addictive.
But what's up with snaking hate all around the Internet? I can't snake but to me it does appear fare and square. If anything, it's impressive.
-

It's rather annoying. can't do it It makes the races less fun and less unpredictable.
-
Snaking gets on my nerves. The races get boring if you are racing someone and then they start snaking and all of the sudden, they are on the other side of the course.
I find it a cheap way to play the game just for the sake of winning. It's as annoying as people disconnecting after they lose one race. Don't give me that "You just find it annoying because you can't do it, you n00b" garbage. I can do a crude version of it, I choose not to because if I have to snake to win a race, then it's not a clean and fair win for me.

Can you chat with others somehow during mario kart or something?
-
@Mr.:

Nope. It's a pity though, since you can't hear little kids cussin' up a storm when they're losing. =/
One more thingI'm going to start taking requests for emblems if anybody wants one. Just PM me for what you want (if it's a picture, include it). Try to keep it simple though, m'kay? Also, I don't use that converter thingie.
-
Just a little update. See my avatar, that is my decal. Looks like crap, but when trying to use that thing that changes an image to a decal so you can copy, it kept screwing up; so I eyeballed it.
-
@Solar:
It's rather annoying. can't do it It makes the races less fun and less unpredictable.
But I still don't get it. For instance I can't do some stuff in Tekken neither but yet I'm cool if my friend put me under a siege of moves-I-haven't-bothered-to-learn. I lose. Always. Modern fighting games aren't all that fun anyway…
The whole jumble reminds me how people treat rushing in strategy games but I guess I should save my words untill I have actually played online. Is it worth of purchasing an USB Connector? I'm kind of picky on where I put my money.
-
You don't actually have to get a USB connector for it. As long as you have a wireless router, you're set (some are instant access, some require inputting the WEP key, and others won't work with it at all). You just need to actually register it on the DS (which is on the wifi settings menu).
Man do I feel slow. They apparently had something at this years E3 (I didn't bother to watch the coverage though) called a DSpeak. I'm not sure if it's out, but it can let you talk to other people online via DS wifi.
