It is because we are already in a race. I'll let oh know when the lobby is open again.

Nintendo Wi-Fi officially hates my 3DS.

Any time I'm going to race you guys from now on, I'm going to sit within 15 feet of my router.

And since I can't do that right now, I'm going to have to quit for tonight. Sorry Inazuma. Maybe next time I won't get to take a shortcut on every lap.

I would have beat you if I didn't miss the shortcut two times. It was my own fault. Shortcut aside, I was much faster than you. I really wanted to race you a lot and show you how much better I've gotten.

Go and sit on your router and race me again. I play 4 feet from my router btw.

I can't go down there right now; I'm working on other stuff on my computer so I'm a bit stuck here. Hopefully I'll be able to play tomorrow.

And yeah, I was really surprised to see that you weren't like half a lap behind. I'm going to have to master the tires with better top speed but worse handling. I was trying them yesterday but was having a bit of trouble at times. I'd like to be able to beat you on courses that don't depend on my getting a Triple Mushroom at the start of the race. :P

You didn't notice because you were ahead of me the whole time but, I changed my kart setup for more acceleration and handling. Having more top speed is great but the slick tires are just plain bad for certain courses. What ends up happening is people would notice the slick tires and then purposely pick courses that I was bad at. I eventually decided to change, and I've been winning like crazy ever since.

So basically, the only way to be faster than me is to sacrifice handling. But if you do that, I will pick courses like Neo Koopa City and Kara Kara Sabaku (Dry Dry Desert) all the time, and have a massive advantage over you. (^_^)

And it's not like my kart setup has low top speed. It actually is still very high. The slick tires would only make you a little faster than me, but you have to sacrifice a ton of handling to do it.
