Mario Kart 8 Races - PC style! (General/Tournaments)

Well I got back from the movies; anyone who hasn't raced yet can join me in the room now.
 
If anybody feels like playing, I'll be around. Bear with me though because I'll be racing 100CC Prixs in the meantime :P
 
I was so close to the finish line at Toad's Turnpike until a blue shell hit me and got hit by Dragon's red shell. Then I struggled a bit at Cloudtop Cruise by constantly getting hit by Dragon's items. Both courses got me on 2nd place, but at least I did end up victorious at the rest of my 8 courses.
 
Racing starts in 1hr, so, stop by if you have the time!

Also, I just wanna say, from this month on, I'm going to start talling up the points that you all get in each racing day session, in which at the end of the month, the one who has the most collective points will win the tournament for this month!

So, my advice is to race often, and I'll do my best to start races with more of a bunch of people at once. :3
 
Well, I'll be there then. This is going to be fun.

EDIT:

Well, I'm seriously done with this. I had no fun at all today, really. It wasn't the group I was playing with either. You all are fine and great, it was the game in general today. I tried to join not once, nor twice but three times and got 'Server Unavailable Errors' on launch. I also when into spectate mode to watch Dragon and Pinkie-Dawn race only to be kicked afterwords from the server again. When we did get into racing, I had encountered something I've never seen in a Mario Kart game before. Pure LAG. Ungodly LAG. Sure, some races on Mario Kart Wii were problematic, but not like this. This was TERRIBLE LAG. I double-checked my wireless connection and had no issues on my end so it must of been the servers again at Nintendo Online. The final straw that broke this camel's back was being blue shelled twice before a finish line and then SERVER KICKED. Normally blue shells are okay. I do not mind them, even before the finish line. That is justified, its Mario Kart. But the server lag and then the kick AFTER the blue shell, un-allowing me to finish the race? That is damnable right there, so til this sorts out (or I calm down) from this, I'm withdrawing my hat from the tourney ring.

Good day.

I agree, I had a rough start in the first few courses, and then my gamepad needed charging. But I was able to pick up the pace after that. I knew we should've waited for CureYoshiDarkness for the final race after he told me he got kicked out of the server. I doubt I won 1st place for my overall scores for the past races I participated and missed out.

It's okay - the lag haaas been sorta off and on for me too. @__@ I guess it's the general traffic of the nintendo network, but, ugh, hope it's fixed soon~

Well he did said that this may have something to do with the Mercedes DLC coming up this month. Do you happen to know what day we'll have the results?

Can we try and do at least one reasonably set time a week? Not everyone needs to be there, but something people can plan and aim for somewhat

This. I've got on to play at times and it's either already over or starting after. Maybe figure out a good, central time for everyone to be able to participate (or at least a majority of people desiring to play). :)
