I know of a test that I can do to see if Japanese can read it or not, I'll try it out

Forgot to say a couple weeks ago, but google translate is indeed bad. However, I'm gonna get an English-Japanese translator book and a Japanese keyboard. There should be real Japanese in an actual translator book, right?

This is just an example of a different layout of the timesheet that I drafted up earlier for the heck of it:



I'd like to have some feedback:
1. What do you think of this layout? Do you prefer to have 3lap and flap times on separate tables and pages, or would you instead have no glitch 3lap and flap on one page and glitch on another?

2. What do you think of glitch times on the Players' Page? NB they won't affect your no glitch AF, PRSR etc. Would you like glitch standards or would you abolish them completely?

3. What colour scheme would you propose, or is the current one fine?

The more feedback the better.  

The links to sorting out the tables in order of PRSR, ARR and Rank will still be there. That's not present in this screenshot.

I'd have to of course consult the admin and see if all this is possible if a proposed change should go ahead, but I'd like as much feedback as possible before going into such a decision.

Also, what else needs to be done (besides what I'm pointing out)?
Add the MK7 WR's link on the side.
Thoughts on Women vs Women?
Modify the Joining Info page because of current confusion.

Oh, and feel free to suggest rivalries!!!

I don't mind having glitch charts as long as they don't impact on af or anything like that.

As for rivalries, the best ones would perhaps be clan based imo, though I'm not sure how many players can be in a rivalry...

1) The layout is fine.
2) I think the site should have glitch rankings, even though they're not that popular and the game is pretty much dead. I don't think standards are necessary and they'd be hard to make.
3) The color scheme looks great.

I definitely think we should add the glitch charts, but not red...green maybe? I don't think we should bother with standards either, it would take a lot of time to make them for very few people. It may also help with activity. Oh, and I'm all for getting rid of the flaps on the charts, they don't count for anything anyway  

Just saying that I would totally support having glitch charts added to the page. Also Supy, the great thing about having extra glitch charts is that people that don't want to play glitches don't have to feel obliged to do so. I see it more as a plus for people that already are competing in/already have competed in the glitch category of certain tracks.

I approve of adding these glitch charts just because I don't see why they shouldn't be. This may lead to a bit more activity on this game, which is something good.

If there is a possibility of doing a glitch chart why not show where the glitches occur on a map like Mario Kart Wii does.

The section "General Tips and Hints for Newcomers" of the very first covers the basic mechanics that you need to know about for time trialing. You will need to combine different parts of karts to get the fastest times on all of the courses. These parts are unlocked randomly by collecting coins. To find the fastest combination on each track, you should check out the Wr history site (mkwrs.com/mk7).

The difference between this game and a lot of the older games is that the basic techniques are very easy. This makes that a lot of the tracks have specific parts of racing that you need to master if you want to become good at them. For example, Toad Circuit will need quickly charged MTs and tight race lines, while Cheep Cheep Lagoon demands great underwater driving and Rock Rock Mountains contains a lot of gliding. To master these techniques, I'd recommend watching videos of the current WRs and especially of past WRs on the Wr history site.

I second what Drybones said. We should get glitch charts!

There is a lot of information to be found on this board, too.

I'm not sure what you mean by "get it together". Some members have contributed a lot to the community by writing many guides and publishing them here. If it bothers you a lot that most of it is on the board rather than on the site, I'll be more than happy to have guides added to the site if somebody has enough time and patience to rewrite them in a nice format.
