Is anyone able to explaion me the new point system in the online matches? I didn't really notice a difference but everybody is talking about it.

From what I can surmise, it's been changed to be more representative of skill rather than time played. If you're always at the back of the pack, you just won't have a high VR, unlike before where you could still get points in the second half of the pack and eventually climb in VR.

That sounds good and is an improvement. The points should tell you who is good and shoudn't tell you who has a lot of time.

Apparently there's a glitch with the DLC character icons where this can happen:

In my experience the VR rating formula hasn't really changed that much (if at all...) i still get up to 20+ points if i beat racers with high VR and lose 8 or 10 points if i end in last place with lower ranked players. The trick is to find a group where almost everyone is higher ranked and your VR will shoot up

This online race I was just in proves that the preorder DLC packs are a huge success

Finally a reason for people to try a character other than Rosalina

I always seemed to think Mii was the overused character.

A quick question - when playing online, I sometimes see people that have no country name under their nick name?
How's it possible to hide your country?
