Slowpoke... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,605 Member No.: 18,773 Joined: Jul 5th 2006 Location: Philippines | Heh, I'm pretty sick of LotS atm. I'm on my second run of LOTS and really don't feel like finishing every battle. So I'm using it to help train a newbie friend. Last week I let him use my RX8. He just finished Myogi and is currently stuck on Mako and Saiyuki on Usui. He's actually helping me battle level up. We leave accept challengers on and whenever someone challenges, I drive. I got several wins the other day because of that. |

It's also pretty sad to see how serious ppl get about this game. I overheard two ppl arguing about why they picked Iro UH dry for a battle. The guy moaned about it the whole race. DC2 vs NB8C - Akagi DH dry - win (This match was really annoying cause the guy thinks he's a hotshot just cause he has an aura. But beat him pretty easily) vs GC8 - Usui CCW dry - win (It was just a friendly battle between my friend and I, no real competition) vs FD3SV1 - Iro DH dry - win (The first guy's little bro, more cocky than he is) vs FD3SV1 - Usui CCW wet - lose (Eww, wet, I raped the two hairpin corners a lot) Pretty ok day I must say. |

I think I can improve quite a bit, I messed up the turn before the tunnel. What's a good time on ob wet anyways? Like a 43? The other two TA's I tried to bring my pathetic 3:09 on Akina with the 32 up, but I failed. I just can't drive this course with this car, it just doesn't happen. LOlolololol. |

I actually struggled against Kyoko in LotS today! But after that I didn't have a hard time doing anything else... meaning after I got a feel for the car I didn't have a hard time. I tried full course wall-teching with this car... it's fun! Sadly, I only ran around 3'12"... but the car isn't even BT. Also did a few Happo OBD runs with the E4 and Capp. I can drop my E4 time of 23 to a lower 23, potentially a 22. With the Capp, my friend wanted a little more footage for my upcoming no-tech vid so he did some recording while I ran the car without techs again... 2'22"767" --> 2'22"637 Faster than my vid! Gah... it was weird. CP1 was -.011, and even with my crap hairpins I cleared CP2 with -.223. CP3 was bad so I came out with +.197... so in the end it only minused .130. So I can easily 22"4 or lower... maybe I can hit 21 on this course without techs? |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,294 Member No.: 13,958 Joined: Oct 22nd 2005 Location: Binghamton, New York | Jim and I did have in the works a Tokui meeting in Rochester for this afternoon/evening. All was well until I found out that the alternator blew on Ians Evo, so I was there alone pretty much. The shop was pretty much dead for the whole day except for a few kids and later some people my age decided to come in and take a look at the manga. The initial D cab was left alone pretty much until I decided to put my hands on it. All I did was TA and nothing else. It is rare that I find myself doing that because I usually see myself doing Bunta or LOTS to tune my cars, but I only brought the 8V. Nothing positive came out of the plethora of Time Attacks on Tsuchisaka Outbound. Once again, my problem of consistency arose and I found myself noobing it up on corners that are far too easy for me to mess up. I suppose it wasn't anxiety, but the excitement of knowing that I was breaking my time and if I just kept it all together, it would have ended well. I suppose next time I go and play, it will be better. This post has been edited by GC8Vdrifter on Aug 29 2006, 05:56 PM |

Too bad I messed up pretty much the rest of the course. Lowered Akina on the 32 from a 3:09 to a 3:08. Not much improvement, but I'll work on it eventually. |

How did your GTR got raped by a Cappuccino ? How was your opponent's skill ? How did you perform ? How did you feel before the race ? How did you feel after the race ? How intense was the battle ? Come on, give me some details. Or I'll give you something called warning. It's always best to read the first post of a pinned thread before posting in it. Write that down. | ||

Replies in this thread shouldn't be a simple 2 sentences. Woo... no real TA time changes, but I got a few races in! It's been a while. All these battles were Boost ON with my ST205: vs. FC3S Akagi UHD - win! -> Battle level UP! - A race with an old player. He hasn't played in months and it showed. I led most of the way then he passed me at the V-turn. After that I passed at the turn after. It was a fairly close race... but I didn't have to block him at the end. vs. R32 Happo OBW - loss -> Battle level DOWN - As you can see... I got fished. I led most of the way but he passed at the very last section. I didn't even shake the guy's hand. vs. R32 Akina UHD - win - Battle level UP! - Fished him back. For an R32... he kept up pretty well, then again... it was boost on. Lost him in CP4. vs. R32 Akagi DHW - loss - Battle level DOWN - "This course is about the same for our car"; WHAT?! His car is FAR better than mine on this course! Still... I just bit the bullet. I led until the very last section. Not bad, eh? vs. R32 Snow UH - win - Battle level UP! - As soon as I selected this course I said "A fair course for the both of us". It was clear he didn't know the course... but then again, it's fair for our cars, yeah? Hahah... led the whole way. He asked me... "So what courses are you good at?" "Most" "What was that?" "Most" "Ohhh..." "Yeah, but my weakest is Akina" "I see" vs. AE86M Akina DHD - loss - This other guy who's been training Akina DHD lately wanted to race me. I let him do Akina... I led most of the way and he passed just after CP4. I tried to pass at the very end but the car got so unstable I stalled after a massive hit. I didn't BL down... so I didn't mind the loss. I'll get him next time since he's there just as much as I am. XD Lastly... I'll list some small TA improvements I made with the Trueno: Tsuchi OBD 2'46"6 --> 2'45"3 - I did it because this other old racer showed up. He's pretty arrogant... talking about how fun TST is but he only has 3'01" Akina. I didn't wanna say anything. He used to do Tsu OBD with the 86 a lot... I beat his old model record right in front of him. He had 2'48". Happo OBD 2'24"3 --> 2'23"245 (no techs yet again) - After pushing the Capp so much I decided to try this car for a change. The tail slides out much more than the Capp! Maybe I need a shopping cart wing for this car. I could've pulled 22 but kept messing up every run after this one. Also... lots of failed R34 no-tech TA's on Akina. Oh well... my 205 is RL 22 now. This post has been edited by CoastalmixX on Aug 29 2006, 09:29 PM |

IDW Senior Member Group: Members Posts: 76 Member No.: 19,601 Joined: Aug 17th 2006 Location: <(*.*<) | touge ninja dun worry I got your back. Im the cappu driver. Today me and touge ninja made a ID team and were still brainstorming on one and I think the current name is the ALL STAR DISS TEAM. IF you want to know just PM me because I can't say it here. Let' just say you have to do a certain >>ThInG<< to get in. Anyway Im racing touge ninja and everybody kept saying "cappu is the best dry car". I didn't believe them so I bought one and made it red because you need the car to be red to be in the team and something else......Anyway I'm let's say....I'll rate myself as a 6/10. My skills are normal and I can keep up with some people but it depends on my mood so my consistancy is not really good. So I raced the GTR on MYO Dry boost and I beat him. Then I raced on MYO wet and on the grand curve the car slides itself to the wall. It's not stable but I manage. I lost that round. After playing some MT2 I played on IRO and beat the 3 guys. Then a guy with a subaru raced me. He drives a GC8. PRetty good but bumps the walls somtimes. So were racing on SHO and Im ahead because you guessed it MY SIZE! I had a wide road he had a samll road. I turn easy he turns badly. I lost SHO OB though. When I raced on SHO IB I beat him on the final turn. Then I raced the same GC8 on AKAGI uphill and almost got him if it wasn't for that straightaway. All the races with the GC8 were all dry. I gotta say the cappu is fun. I feel like I can take on the pros on my Arcade when I FT the car. Get ready pros because the story of the small legend will arise . hehehe Im just exxagerating. |

I went to go play ID thinking they still had the 12 dollar unlimited play promotion... It went away cause school started... So now its only 10 dollar unlimited tuesdays from 5pm - 10pm... I work during those times so no more wasting plays... anyways... I was able to light up 11 stars on BC with my AE86! I tried once more on 12 star and learned that i suck horribly on Akina Snow... I was able to also light up 5 stars on Irohazaka... my best run was a 3'06 with it... without Bunta pushing me! I learned something new because turning cleanly with minimal wall taps and shifting at the right time helped the AE86 accelerate nicely on Irohazaka! Thus, resulting in a whole second faster than my Personal Record TA! With these accomplishments... I know i need to brush up on Akina Snow... And clean up my runs on Irohazaka for better times! |

Slowpoke... Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,605 Member No.: 18,773 Joined: Jul 5th 2006 Location: Philippines | I had terrible luck today at the arcade. The silver lining is I didn't end up losing my card. I TA'd Akina. I was gunning for a 3'06 on my RX-7, (I got a 3'06 on LotS Bunta without him blocking so I just wanted to get it on a TA). I tried and failed 5 times, mostly due to botching the RHOD. So I gave up after a while and switched to my RX-8. I tried to break the 3'04 record held by a Capp on Sho OB. As if the bad luck in Akina wasn't enough... 1st run, ran a 3'07. Let's call it a warm up, since I had just come from my RX-7, I used this match to warm up. 2nd run, 3'06, but I red lit the CP1 of the course record by -'0'0'100. 3rd run, XXX I reached CP3 and had the course record red lit at -0'0'500. I was so excited I didn't notice the guy who was about to sit down in the next cab. Before I know it, he was taking me to Akina in his Trueno. He was a noob. I won by several hundred meters. He doesn't rechallenge. 4th run, XXX Some time in the middle of CP1 this chick sits down in the next cab and starts watching. I reach CP3, and red light the course record by -0'0'400. Then she suddenly drops a token in. I try to hit the start button, but it won't turn accept challengers off... X_X. She challenges and takes me to Myogi CCW Wet... Dammit. She didn't even know which pedal was the accelerator. I gave her a slight head start, but she didn't seem to know the first thing about driving. I ended up passing her 3 times because she got stuck on just about every turn (and maybe even on the straights as well). 5th run. 3'05. Here we go again. I enter the 4th section with the course record lit at -0'0'100. I was pretty excited as I was nearing the finish line, then somebody approaches the next cab. I hastily press the start button, but it messed up my timing a bit and I ended up understeering into a wall. Well, at least I beat my personal best by a few milliseconds. 6th run XXX. My last token. I have the course record red lit at -0'0'137 entering CP3 (yes it was exactly 137). Then the power in the arcade goes out. I walk up to one of the guys working there and tell him my card is still in the machine. He tells me he can't do anything and that I should wait for the power to come back on. So I waited half an hour for the power to come back on. And when it did, I got my card back. They gave me 1 free play. Phew, at least my card was still working. I go back to Shomaru and try again. I mess up in CP1, and get a +1'200 section time. So then I got annoyed and just FQed and left. What a sucky day... This post has been edited by icedagger on Aug 30 2006, 06:47 AM |
