Room opening in the next 5 minutes or so. Anyone voice chatting the Discord general voice chat will be used,

I had a 182 small spike last night so made a nice little sum back.

As with the base GP's I found that 150cc is actually the hardest in terms of the CPU actually keeping up with you. 200cc they just can't seem to handle the speed like they should be able to. Also as with the base tracks, you can easily take surtouts that require mushrooms and hop over corners with ease in 200cc. I think the Tour tracks seem wider and do help in 200cc but I still had to take some breaking actions. I\m sure the tracks will get harder as we get more and I can't wait.

Yep. Well I did turn it off first time, but after all that weirdness in the middle when it started picking the flat versions of the stage, I had gone back into the rule settings to se if I did something. Guess I left all stages on. However I do wonder if RedShell had something on for levels as as soon as he had finished we were back to the normal levels and random was back to normal. I can see the view of it being a bad large stage, but I think we did a good job of not running away from each other and keeping it close.

I know it was only the first race, but that was such an amazing finish. You really cant't write anything off till they all cross the line. Ferrari look great, Marc seems to be getting there, RedBull weren't as dominant as most thought (and that was just too funny what happened) but still right up there. Hope this is another good season.

@Glen-i did say take that out of the random list, but to be honest I kinda liked that fight.

Thanks for the games @Ike and @RedShell. Not sure what happened in the middle there when all the stages started being the plain ones. It seemed to reset after RedShell went though. Some great close games there too, and a few one siders. We had our random same character match and it was fitting for ZSS to beat Ridley in that last match,

Cool, we'll go for 8 as normal and will go with Stock if that's OK

But where's the fun in that? Yeah I'm sure I read that somewhere before, I think I've just always preferred to actually be able to say I actually completed them the real way.

Right, with the easy two out the way time for some initial views from me. I'm loving the new tracks. There seems to be something for everyone in them. from a mild drive to a bonkers multi route track. If this is the way the rest of the tracks come at us going forward this is going to be one of the best DLC's from Nintendo. Favourite Track I know everyone is saying Ninja Hideaway, but I'm going to give it to Paris Promenade. I love NH and the multiple route, but the topper that gave it to PP was the fact that if you are leading when you enter lap three, you are most certainly going to be coming head on to other racers still on the end of lap 2, and this just leads to some bonkers mayhem to come. Least Favourite As with the others in here it does go to Toad Circuit. It's not a bad track, it's just I guess they couldn't improve on it or add any new elements to the track to bring it up to date. A fine addition and easy first track of the new DLC, just not on the level of some of these others. Special Mentions OK, Choco Mountain. Nintendo, this is how you add to an already existing track and make it new again. A fine underground section, a jump that doesn't seem out of place, and still a great hilly track. Only think I wish it did was when the rocks fall on lap three the floor finally gives way and you have to navigate holes where they kept hitting, or they leave giant holes that will let you trick jump. Music also deserve a mention here. Some great sounds and music to an already great soundtrack. I'm sure 200cc will be giving us some unexpected shortcuts on some tracks that probably were not intended. Will be interesting to see what people find.

This is what I like though there seems to be a mix for everyone. I do like the mixture of both, and with you on the MC GBA. There wasn't much they could do but just that little section as a sloped anti-gravity worked.

@RedShell You have the trial again, fancy a return to Smash?

NOOOOOOO. @Ike, @Dcubed you guys in? I know Ike and me had some great 1v1 matches so I'm up for those again. I know DCubed sometimes makes it too.

I think this too, sure I mentioned it to @Dcubed on voice chat at the time. I saw at least three people who I didn't recognise from here that had (I think) Denmark, as their flag. No worries, it messed up up a little but I think we managed it.

Bonkers. Loved it, thanks to everyone that joined in, I hope you all come back next week, I know we aren't going to keep 12 up all through though. Ninja Hideaway is bonkers, and loving the multiple routes on the new courses. As well as Paris and its change of route on lap three. Choco Mountain is such an upgrade over the original track, nicely done Nintendo. I hope the rest of the tracks that get added are just as good. Also, for MK9 or what ever it's called, I want more tracks with multiple routes and changing routes as normal. It adds so much to the course.

Opening up the room. Come one come all. I'm Excited, Hooray, One more time!

That's cool, I should have every one here from previous years, but if not please add me. Though you can join via Glen if he is in the room.

@darksnowman Celeste is here, if you need any DIY's now a good time to come over, there's also another meteor Shower here.

I'll definitely be on for voice chat, games are so much more fun when you can laugh at others stupidness with each other.

I know we can't force it, but how many people are going to go in blind, as in not playing before we start on Friday? I probably will end up doing it as may not get a chance to play before.

Thanks, yeah mine was mid 140s on a roller coaster week so I'm not doing better than 155.

I'll risk the wait till tomorrow then, I'm on a random week with a top of mid 140's.

I'll probably join again, but did anyone get the results of our last years one? I forgot to look at the end of the season.

Nice. The thing is the way they were picked is a true definition of random. Random means anything, so the same stages and characters have as much chance as a different one. It was just so different from all other nights when we do get a good spread of both.
