In IDAS2/3 if you hit the yellow button it would alternate between accepting/refusing challengers. Does the same mechanic exist in IDAS8 for offline battles? |

You can't reject them so it does have a bit of luck if your opponent is better than you or not. |

You'll be exposed for one race but you'll be fine after that. This post has been edited by SonicSP on Apr 6 2016, 06:19 AM |

But if you do happen to enter one and win it, I guess it comes naturally that you will need to be prepared for other players to enter. Just show them what you're made of, as simple as that. This system has been here since D4 and sadly there's no way to turn it off after each in-store battles like D2/D3 eras. |

Normally I would be open to accepting challenges. The problem is the difference in car performance made the battle heavily one-sided. One thing I noticed was my opponent's car didn't even lose speed through corners while I had to downshift at least once to take the hairpin. I guess I'll just deal with it for now since I'm about halfway to full spec. |

Before you reach Ex Spec/Full Spec, you have almost no chance of winning againts another car that is if the can drive straight and turn the wheel at the corners. What Spec are you though? The real hard part in thning comes at Spec 5, where the parts are really expensive and will take a long long time. But once you reach ExSpec/Full Spec you will be fine. |

It's too bad that arcades in the US are all offline, otherwise the Project D missions would help significantly with the tuning (both 1a and 1b missions are almost done, only thing missing is the online battle). RIP 8000 and 10000 points. Maybe I should take a vacation back to Malaysia so I can finish those missions or get some D coins. Anyone knows if the cabinets in Malaysia are JPN or EXP? |

Upon full tune, your car would not lose speed during turning, hence comes a new method to play. Your journey should start by then. Before full tune is slightly harder to learn the physics of the game. But as long as you follow up how japs play the game, you should do fine. Malaysia's are EXP, you need to make sure if your side is JPN or EXP. This post has been edited by -=SHINN=- on Apr 6 2016, 10:33 PM |

Gonna try BC next time I go to the arcades. Probably won't be very practical but it's fun to try out the techniques and familiarize myself with them. Can't wait till I reach full tune so I can fully utilize them. I have a JPN card. Will I be able to use it on an EXP cabinet? This post has been edited by holnivek on Apr 6 2016, 10:43 PM |

From what we understood generally, EXP card won't work on JPN machines and vice versa. | ||

Recently, I have been playing a Spec 5 car and I think BA is generally quite usable at that level. But it's probabaly hard to learn when playing a Spec 5 car for the first time. Irozahaka is a fun place to practice BA for Spec 5 car since the slowdown there actually helps make it easier to corner. At the very least, the slowdown never feels like an impediment in that course at that Spec, so it feels fun playing (though you'll still be slower than a Full Tune car, even if you don't feel very slow) Still not as useful as a Full Tune car but the effectiveness will start to show up. I haven't played a Spec 5 car in a long time so I enjoyed revising the physics. This post has been edited by SonicSP on Apr 15 2016, 09:40 AM | ||
