hey just wondering when ur racing if u like the people in the background watching u , does it get u mad, or get u nervous,,,
sometimes its alright but other than that they bug...

haha naw not really cuz im usually with mah newbie friends but if im by myself i kinda get freaked out or intimidated when the person im racing has like a but load o ppl standn' round waiting for him/her to wupp mah ass on some stage in the game..........

plus if im alone and there are noobs there and ther racing me o sumthing and they get all critical of the things that u do like when i gutter on akina in battles when im behind which i think im not sopposed to do but yea noobs think that im juss f'n up and hitting the inside of the turn or think that im turn'n' to early i dunno but when dudes that are around judge me like that i get distracted an wanna play baseball with there faces................

I just zone them out when I race so they really don't bother me.

ppl in the background dont bother me, unless they r talkin about me while im racin or if 1 of ma friends take ma jacket or somethin of mine then i get bothered..... other then that nothin bothers me

depends, sometimes I don't even notice...like when I was losing to Bunta (LotS...blocking Bunta with FC isnt fun...), then a buntamobile challenged me to Akina Up Dry...he gets startup, and is ranked 200 (meaning he has the best car, not that he's ranked that) on the course, so im thinking atleast i get to race longer...but i end up beating him...when the screen turns black i see a bunch of reflections, i turn around and see about 10 people who just came in outta nowhere. normally i woulda been really nervous but i didnt even notice em.

It's always nice to have alittle crowd.

depends on race...like me vs. paul(best guy at cade) in a tourny on akina snow uphill(his weakest course) and the last hairpin is coming up and im touching the back of his car...yes i would be very nervous...

Don't really care, unless I win and then they shy away from me b/c they think that i am really good. I go now for battles b/c they are fun. so a crowd can be rewarding to me or not, but overall I dont mind.

it is but not a big crowd... lolz

i really don't mind having a crowd watching when i play. i used to go during $10 tuesdays at boomers so there was always a crowd of people around the machines. i haven't battled a whole lot in ver. 3 so i do get a bit apprehensive once in a while... after a couple of corners the feeling disappears though

meh doesn't matter to me, when i turn off my lights, they're like zOMG~!
i like to show off once in a while by challenging ppl and using one hand

when i read the topic i thought u ment the people standing at each hairpin LOL....those freak me out.......but as i read on.................. i dont care whos behind me if i lose who cares ...if i win i win......i love making LVL 11 people go lvl 10 after i beat them but im still at battle level 7 ..... and the people behind me dont bother me

i dont care if theres people behind me..i like a crowd behind me unless they start touching me..then ill get pissed and screw up and crap..

I like when they start talking to me while I am in a battle. My opponent gets mad and I play better.

Its Always Good To Have a crowd, But i hate it when The Crowd is supporting the Other Guy 'cause there all his friends, but its funny to see there expression when i beat him

i like small crowds, just enough people to talk/show off to, and not too big where i have to wait forever just to get one game in...

It's always good to have a crowd because in my arcade I'm known as "the Myogi wonder" so everyone that plays there knows me.

some crowds are orite but others they like trying to tell u how to drive which pisses me off

Everyone crowds to watch me drive Akina now, it can get kind of annoying because you're trying to beat a record, and they keep laughing or start talking about what their plans are for the weekend REALLY loud. Other than that, I'm fine with it.

heh, people in the background don't phase me at all. they make me play better.

UNLESS, it's one of those stupid annoying kids that climb on the chair and are breathing into your ear, makes me wanna sock one in the face. but i just say "get off" with a real deep voice.

ahhh..... i kinda like ppl watching me play especially when im battling coz it simply ... gives me the urge to win. and i swear ... if there is a girl watching. HAHAHAHAHA i'll kick my opponent's ass!!!! i've actually done this before but you can say it was a fluke... this guy was a level 16 and i was at my SECOND race with the altezza ... I WON by a hair.... but what the heck . its always fun when ppl like ... clap their hands after a match and even better when the opponent shakes hand and such . I always shake the hands of my opponent's before and after race just to show sportsmanship. (and THIS helps get the crowd's attention!!!!)

heh, i always shake the opponent's hand after races only.

If it's a race between two people are reasonably skilled in the game, there's actually a crowd behind the machines since it's placed at the Arcade's front entrance. What happens is that you get people walking by just stop and watch the "intense" races

It's scary considering how big the crowd can get in a matter of "seconds" once the race that. It's not even expected. Sometimes, people would look around and see no one then all of a sudden once it hits "3...2...1...GO!!!", the crowd starts building up.

The scariest and biggest crowd that I got with my friend was at Playdium Version 2, Cappuccino [Level 14 aura] vs DC2 [Level 18 Aura] on Akagi Downhill dry. Extremely close battle and I won when he understeered the LAST turn. The screen goes blank and you can see a thick arc of people around the machine. People of ALL ages including people in their 40's to 60's...scary...

XD that's hilarious...yea that's happened to me too...when the screen goes black you see all kinds of new people you never saw before....or you like hear clapping or "oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" when the race is over..

I always shake the hands of my opponents after the race but I they fish me then it is a different story. I get the same urge to win as u do tezza when there is a big crowd.
