I was thinking, I would like a way for those of us playing MKDS online to talk about our races and be positive and encourage more play and increase the over all fun level. I've found that positive feedback can greatly enhance the gameplay so lets keep it positivie in here ^^.
I just want to say that S360, you really wailed on me that match we had, flawless victoryo ^^ great job!
Johnnyd2, awesome match. 2 of those races were neck and neck the whole way! although I did get a little frustrated during Baby park when you kept getting those red shells O_O. The Figure 8 match was fantastic!
Also, in this thread I want to share some info I don't know how many of you know, but it will help take away any unfair advantages some may have, and increase your overall performance.
1) to get the boost at start, unlike other MK games, instead of right before the timer stops, you want to rev your engine right as the "2" is about to disappear. It's hard to get at first, jhonnyd2 say me both fail to get it and succeed.
2) "draft" boost, I mentioned this previously but want to again. if you follow someone closely from directly behind, after a short time you'll see what look like wind line around the front of your car that build up. after a certain point you'll get a boost from this and shoot past the person at about the equivilent to a mushroom boost. this can turn a loss into a win if timed, especially with my next piece of advice
3) which bring us to drift boost! also called the power slide. mastering this is crucial to succeeding in most of the single player beyond 50cc. to do this, tap the "R" button to hop into a turn, they hit side to side on the D-pad, they smoke behind your car will change if you do it right to blue then reddish orange. when you release "R" you'll get a nice little speed boost, if you do this after a draft boost, you can secure a victory even as all hope seems lost.
I hope this helps you guys, I look forward to more fun races! Feel free to share other online experiances, but remember to keep it positive!
