A few questions D:
06/14/12 at 08:20:28

How do I exactly know what Hz I'm playing on? Does it just depend on what I choose at the beginning?

I wrote a joining email to the site but it doesnt show up. It's even in my Sent Emails so idk, is the email thing down or something?

I plan on getting better at the game cause my times suck atm. I know I dont really have potential to get near top 100 anytime this year but Im 45th AF in MKW so I know what to do. (My AF in MKDD is probably like 500 or something lol) Any tips on getting better other then just playing and watching vids? Any secret tricks?

Your email sent, the group is only updated once a week. Check the mkdd page titled MKDD for noobs, there's a link to it on the main site. It details all the techniques and strats you might need. Happy karting!

As for finding out what hertz you play (if this screen doesnt show up) just use a stop watch and activate it as soon as the timer of the game starts. If the time is running slower in the game than on the stopwatch, then you're definitely 50hz. 60hz is running with 30 frames, 50hz is running with only ~25 frames per second, so it does show up slower.

I think I'm gonna send them in now. I just feel sorry for the updater who sees my first post and then the second one where I change hz and have 16 different times xD

Working on Flaps atm.

Btw. so are the times always updated once per week on a friday? So it would make sense to send in all my up to date times on thursday instead of always posting them when I get the new time?

Or are the times updated sometimes although the email doesnt show up yet?

Just asking cause I think I'll be improving some times again and again over the next week.

You can be sure that there will be at least 4 updates a month, spaced about a week apart, but they won't necessarily be the day you expect. A good rule of thumb is to send one message per day containing all your prs from that day.

It would be kinda hard to play with the index finger behind or in front of the L Button, as you would always have a weird hand position (hurts after a while)

I really don't know much about this track because I haven't played it extensively yet (although I will soon), but I would think it's mainly about releasing the MT before the corner at the right time and then doing another quick MT to pick up your speed. From what I know this course can be pretty random, and I would think the distance you cover is pretty random Undecided

Nevertheless I wouldn't try it at your level; I'm aiming for at least Hero/high Expert and probably won't try it at all Roll Eyes
