(NOTE: Not all of these techniques are available at the start of the game)
Top: Other techniques
Bottom: Heel-toe braking
Top: Earlier braking (not sure about this one, but it does seem to be the slowest of the three)
Middle: Accel-off
Bottom: Normal braking
Top: Braking drift
Middle: Other techniques
Bottom: Zero-countersteer drift
Top: Normal braking (medium entry speed)
Middle: Early braking (low entry speed)
Bottom: Sudden braking (fastest entry speed of the three)
NOTE: The game will make you brake differently for fast and slow corners, so sudden braking will work for both tight hairpins and fast sweepers.
Top: Other techniques
Middle: E-brake drift
Bottom: Braking drift
The E-brake drift only shows up on hairpins. You can use it without problems even when entering a turn from the inside at high speeds since you slow down a lot during the drift, making it great for hairpin overtakes but nothing more than that. This is the first drift technique acquired in the game.
Top: Out-in-out
Middle: Late-apex line
Bottom: Inside cornering (inside-lane exit - don't use if you didn't slow down enough for the turn)
Top: Line cross (you make a lane-change and try to overtake)
Middle: Feint motion (think scandinavian flick - flicks your car to the outside lane before pointing it towards the upcoming turn)
Bottom: Other techniques
Top: Normal braking
Middle: Early braking
Bottom: Late braking (can be used to overtake on corner entry if the opponent's car isn't in your way, but remember that you'll be heading into the turn with a lot of speed and will likely not be taking it from the outside if you pull off the overtake)
Top: "Tsukawa nai" (or however you space it - same thing as "other techniques")
Middle: Outside-entry gutter run
Bottom: Inside-entry gutter run
If you can't read any Japanese characters, you'll have to rely on memory like I first did back when I couldn't read hiragana and katakana. Anyway, these aren't all the options, but I think they'll do for now. Hope this helps. Let me know if you didn't understand something, want a technique explained or need more help with the game.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the out-in-out line works best with normal braking.
