Initial D: Ver3 - newbie

I've never played the previous versions, but am wondering if anyone else has played it. I'm from Australia and we get charged AU$3 a card & AU$3 a game. Works out to be US$4.75 a pop.

Currently using Bunta's WRX Type-R and noticed it doesn't actually upgrade aesthetically but upgrades other performance mods. Does anyone know how to get points more easier or if the arcade has been hacked or the card system hacked? I only got my first upgrade at 10000pts but still got thrashed by Zack but beat the 1st 3 easily. And its almost too real. You don't even bounce off barriers and retain speed, you just lose speed easily and the car tends to drift alot too.

I know different cars are best suited to different tracks but wondering which one is the best all-rounder. Buntas is excellent but I want one that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye as well as easy to handle. Also wondering, how come Veilside isn't included in the Course Parts?? I'm disappointed.

ok !!! to answer this i need full concentration !!! HMMM........

ok first where the hell are u playing, i sydney its onli $2 a game and $2 for a card.

the bunta wrx type r is a cheat to get, rite ? so there wouldn't be any part changes for it onli tuning and maintainence but its got good acceleration, especially if u dun crash. so if u are playing against zack try to use more brakes, dun jus let go of the gas and u should be smooth sailing.

For earier points it also challenge people win and then legends of the street (LOTS) more. HA double points with 1 play. but the LOTS is the fastest way to get points especially with harder characters.

Best all round dry is no doubt the capp, and wet i think is the r32

As of a few days ago, the RX-8 has taken the lead for both...but I prefer the Bunta Car as an all-rounder, the RX-8 is hard to use :(

yeah rx8 doesn't hold as many home course stages as the capp and in battle the gdb is still better... not bad cornering + very fast start-up + big, not as big as the 34 though but big enough to block on shomaru. rx8 is best overall in the game though... for a well rounded car.

when u say $2 a game do u mean $2 for just one race cuz over here in cali i pay 1.50 for the card and its only a .50 a race lasted time i played and thats on v.2 but i'm not sure if the prices changed for v.3

This arcade I goto charges 1$ admission. 1$ a card .75 cents a game and 50 cents to continue. Best Initial D prices ever.

All our damn Ver. 3 here in Vegas are $1.00 a game, $1.00 a card, $1.00 a continue. :(

Getting back on topic, I think the GC8V is the best starter car in the game. The RX-8 is better overall, but much more difficult to use. The eight-vee handles excellently and is pretty predictable.

Haha, dude what're you talking about? The car with the fastest start of in ver. 3 is my next car. The Roadster, Miatas earned my love when I seen Tohru rippin through the mountain passes in fourth stage.

That was the craziest thing in Initial D. I cant wait till the next two episodes are played in Japan. And when i get the chance and money Imma get my Miata Roadster and let you people know whats happening.

starter car = NOT the car with a fast start-up a good practice or learning car to drive in initial-d. even though i disagree, the best training car is the trueno. give someone an underpowered car, if they can make it go fast they can make ANY car in id go fast.

blah miata roadster, i'd rather have an rx.

Lol Dont hate on the roadster. The miata is alot more powerful then you think. The RX? Ew That car is the Integ of ver. 3
That and the EVO's

Whats up with this game!? Its unbalanced! I think they focused on the Legend of the Street mode. They were probably thinking we cant give this car all these advantages here and dissadvantages here. That would make the game too hard for crappy people!

well the rx7 i was talking about not the rx8. and they really focused on time attack this time around, if you hit one wall your acceleration is gone for almost the whole run.

Oh crap. I didnt even know that. See, Im learning something new everyday! Haha. So dont hit walls and I'll do better off. Gotcha. Only one way to hit a wall going to fast. So I just to slow down. Man I just realized Tak sucks. Haha I mean its koo they made him beatable but hes easy! So is Keisuke. They should make there times at least a couple seconds faster.

Even the makers of the game say that the RX8 is the best overall car on the game but not many people know how to drive one right, because of the 6 speed in it you have an awesome fifth gear that is unreal, with that car you have a weak enter speed in the curve and great exit speed. And anyway if you want to know the best cars in the game if you have the right driver it will be the Evo III Opition A and the MR2 G-Limited Opition A.

i'd like to see where the makers say the rx-8 is the best... as far as i'm concerned they really haven't released info about anything about the actual physics of the game. its really been on behalf of the initiald.org people who bring us the top ranked cars.

not to mention in battle rx8 has huge flaws, the gdb in my opinion, is better than the rx8. faster start up + tighter lines = death for rx8. and no, evo 3 and mr2 are definitely NOT the best cars in the game. you should head over to initiald.org if you think that's the case. not to mention options really don't make a huge difference.

Actually the RX-8 is obviously a really good car. But, like all god cars it has its limits. Even people that get really good with them cant get record breaking times all the time. Like today.

Raced an RX-8 on AK DH. He whooped me, but I was right behind him everystep of the way. It was crazy. Cuz i had raced him once before and he owned me from the start. I got an awesome start did everything right. Even f'in feinted at the right times on the first second and third turns. Then the second hairpin i messed up and slowed down a little too much against anyother v.3 driver it wouldnt have messed me up that much but this kid practically lives on the machine!! I was proud to lose by 50m It shows im getting better.

its not a god car, it can be easily beaten.

Fine, fine. Its not a good car. But the guy driving it made it a good car. Im not a initial D expert duluth. To me thats a good car. The guy that was driving it made it that way. My opinion stands.

Look some might like rx8s or DC2s or what ever i will take anybody on any course with my Evos (because i have all of them and i like Evo III the best) or my well beloved MR2 (I know all the weaknesses of my cars like and MR2 with any opition is gonna have a lagin 5th gear in it) But i will still whooop some ass.

yeah but since tons of people dropped their dc2 and rx7's your chances of finding someone who only drives the cars they love are small.

For all the Initial noobies, A DC2=Acura Integra. RX-7, well if you dont know its sad. But, a RX-7 is a model of Mazda. There are two RX-7's in the game. One is a FC3S. There other is a FD. I prefer the FD. I like DC2's they're good cars. They just require alot of skill to make good times on Ver.3

My friend has a DC2, he's slowly getting better, its yellow has one of the carbon fiber hood options. I drive a car I love. The AE86 Trueno. That and the S13(2000cc). Next is the Miata Roadster. Maybe after that a EVOiii? I like that car because of the anime dont know much about the sats.

man!!!
akina specialist and duluth
u 2 are always at it
u to should race or sum shit and prove each others theories rite or wrong

we agree most of the time after a few posts. and my posts aren't theories, they are the truth and have been proven.

the RX-8 is not the god car in version 3, there is no god car, like in V2 the DC2 was the god car. The car haveing the fastest start up does not make it the best car. given the RX-8 is a good car and on akina there are good car for ex. the RX-8, the 86, 85, GC8v, Evo IV, are some good cars for the course. Also the RX-8 is not easliy beaten or it can be easliy beaten if the driver sucks. you can be a fast driver with any car in the game if you have the skill, some may take more time that others.

well basically if its not a 6 speed its not meant for battling, (rx-8/skyline turbo) but they are kinda hard to really get used to. but if you want a decent car thats easy to use go with the evoIV/V. and this time around there is no actual all-arounder its just how well the friver uses the car.

aiight
i'll accept that
and i guess ya really gotta be able to do the courses real well coz when u hit sumthing u go hell slow as.
i'm from aus and in brisbane, any other ppl that play initial d
come and holla!

rx8 is considered the best car but by no means a god car. in battle though, if the player who drives it is very skilled... then it could be a god car. boost off + unblockable line = no chance of winning with their new block system.

The RX-8 is far from the god car that the DC2 was. Any noob could pick up a DC2 and play. The RX-8, on the other hand, has very strange handling and the confusion of a six-speed, so you have to be a skilled driver to use it properly. Otherwise, you're better off using a more predictable car, like the GC8V or Evo 4.

uh, my campus? i don't goto college yet. and why do i needa keep saying this, professionals use the tips i've given people. and akinaspecialist i've never seen him say shit about me?

well maybe you should quote it if professionals are saying it...dont try to get props if your taking it from the professionals....give the professional props by quoting it...it not from u, ok....next time use quotes(Ex. " ")...

i'm not trying to get props for what i'm saying. stop assuming too much, i'm informing people. unlike you who hasn't brought up anything for advice. omega has had a problem ever since i started posting on these boards being misinformed so i took it upon myself to tell people the RIGHT information. unlike you who just posts what they think instead of researching it.

yeah i know duluth2006 akina specialist aint said nuthin bout ya
i'm just playin...i got bored when i posted dat
or wait..i thnk i was wasted..LOL
soz duluth and akinaspecialist

I havent been here in a while. Saying people said things about them is wrong and mean. Anywho what was the last real subject on this thread? Haha, anyone got tips for taking the last hairpin before the S-turns. And after the S-turns whats the best way to take the RHOD? I heard the feint a little before the yellow sign and turn back as fast as you can but going so fast down to the RHOD woo. My friend did 135 around that thing he grabbed the gutter and almost touched the outside wall. It was awesome. Although he blew it on the Five-Harpins...for some strange reason theres four. Why is that? Haha. He scored a 3'9'--- Yep.

we play at my Ly's game store, maplewood mall, burnsville mall, MOA..all located in MN..


where is ly's game store? i've heard of all the others but not ly's game store... if its closer i probably will go there. how much does it cost a game? where is the machine located (like, inside the store)?

where is ly's game store? i've heard of all the others but not ly's game store... if its closer i probably will go there. how much does it cost a game? where is the machine located (like, inside the store)?

in St. Paul, close to the state capital....(don't know address)..its inside a building..cost the same as any other places..

ok... i meant is it apart of a mall or mini-mall of some sort? is it close to front of the store, back of the store? opening hours to closing hours? dark area or light area (i don't like mall of america 'cause its so dark)? do they use tokens or dollars? amount of players? that kinda info would be helpful. thanks.

hey in a week i'll probably go down to moa or ly's depending if you give me the info on it.

uumm...i'ma a lvl 6 now on ver2
5 more levels til' aura
yes!!
i beat a trueno guy on usui wit an aura and he aint even finished da game...ha ha ha
it was so funny coz speed boost was on and usui was his fav course...but i'm a cheap ass stayed behind him the whole time for most of the whole race den beat him in da last hard corner it was funy..but he dint battle lvl down...rrrgghh...ohwell..

if he's not 11+ he can't level down.

if he's not 11+ he can't level down.
