How do you guys deal with fatigue--especially if you're coming straight from school or work and find that there's a queue at the cabs? Do you do weights to build your endurance, or Rubik's cube at the end of the day to hone your concentration, or something like that? |

As for fatigue, sacrifice some play money for a nice cold fruit smoothie. That usually does the trick for me. |

Souyu Family Amusement here in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, Japan isnt that packed most of the time. Initial D cabinets are usually not used. Most of the people who played ID are grown up and driving real cars through the real mountain passes here The younger generation are more into Wangan Midnight Ah well, it just means i dont have to wait, nor do i have to content with super low TA times. |

Which means I was awake already 2am, work for 9 hours then straight to arcade. If I have to wait, sleep will overcome me. What I do is that I make use of the runs of the guy who is playing. Meaning if he's running in Akina for example, even if he's a noob, I try to imagine I'M the one playing. Trying to see what I'll do in this turn here, what my speed should be in that turn there. This type of technique has been what I've been doing for 2 years since version 3. And it has never failed me. By the time I sitting at the seat, I'm raring to try things I visualized while watching the others play. And DIGIBUNNY, you from the Philippines too? Whats your card name? Have I battled you before? Hmm... |

I guess it was just bad luck that day And it's getting psychological too: brian_infinispirit
