News Report 8/28/03

Only a few days after the US release and we already have 8 new players joining the GX rankings bringing the total to 12.
Welcome to Jamie Thompson, Mat Allen, Charley Dingboom , Dave Crawford , Chris Rayola , Ryan Jenning , J.T McNally and David Phaneuf. Good luck with the racing guys !
New Champion !! Germany's Christian Fengler storms into first place and grabs a firm hold of the top spot getting no less than 21 course records ! Gut gemacht !
Also active again was David Van Moer but he has to settle for 2nd place in spite of his best (non-snake) efforts.
Be sure to check in again next week as loads more players are certain to heat up the competition.

Poo. I thought you were doing this on Fridays. Guess I should pay more attention. Oh well, I only had my times for the first cup anyway.

Cheers for the intro... I've actually been playing since the Japanese version came out (and I was the reviewer for the NTSC-UK website) but I've not had a huge amount of time to play timetrial sadly. I'm more a GP man, which explains why I had all cups licked on all difficulties within a few days 
Oh and I don't snake and never will... call it "morals"

David: You just HAD to put that "in spite of his best (non-snaking) efforts" in there didn't you I too have high standards, and while I don't know that snaking is in itself BAD, for the time being I will be a non-snaker, I have my honour to look after! I'll try to join next week, but if neither of us snakes, we'll both be happy at the bottom of the rankings won't we?
I'm a very honourable gamer, I don't like Mario Kart because you can be so MEAN to your fellow racers! It's fun to race, but when you start shrinking and then squishing them, it gets dirty.
Same goes for Smash Bros. I detest rolling and shielding, but I'm a decent player in spite of my refusal to resort to such methods!

You detest rolling and shielding? Why? SSB is a fighting game, and like all fighting games (or at least all the good ones), it needs a guard. The shield is SSB's guard.
You'd hate playing Capcom vs. SNK 2 against me; I'm constantly rolling or guarding.

Likewise... I'm a major shielder in SSB DX (got the Japanese version, Melee just doesn't sound right heh) and quite often roll. It's a much needed tactics in 4 human player competition...
