Initial D by Sega Rosso

aight im a lil gone but lemme do this

alright, the dc2s have no respect in our books actually noone we know is carrying in a dc2 in their pocket. We know those cars aint got nothing but fully best cheat shit.

But the MR-2 did own. Actually I never had a problem with understeer It felt like oversteer other than understeer. Id hit the inside wall because of dat shi...

Anywho you people ready for the next shit??

Aiight here it goes

After comming through the soft right after the soft left you stick as close as you can to the right side of the road. It would be on the wrong side of the road in japan so yeah. You continue on that short straight lining up to the inside of the turn. On yo left side you notice a yellow sign with an arrow thats your que. I love the game for this. You can feint! You combo your feint by pulling to the outside of the turn and going fast enough your gonna have to hurry and pull back in takeing the strategy known as outside-in-outside. You follow that route and combo your feint to a brake drift causing the early sideways to take you around the turn at awesome speeds!! 135 exit should do good!

-to be continued-

Im like ryouske compared to takumi i got the knowledge but i aint got the skillz take got da skillz but no knowledge. Whos seen the current eps for stage four? Would have tak won if it wasnt for the amazingly car understanding expert like ryouske? Hell nah. With out him Takumi lost.

my bad i read my post then went back forgot to answer a question. Never ever ever ever ride the gutters! Its like standing to close to a black hole you get sucked in. Before you know it you got sparks,paint, and metal flying offa yo car. Losing major speeds. Ride the gutter at the apex maybe a lil before and maybe a lil after. Never ride it too long. You lose lotsa times.

Thanks toyota_trueno_03 you get mad props on yo knowledge people gotta know theres real life physics added to this shit.

I can fake the heel toe in it. Its great. Im the only person with a turbo in that game that makes it blow off everytime i let go of the gas...awesome stuff...its as close to real life as it gets

AkinaSpecialist word up to ya man!!!

yo i seen tha movies for stage for aye...but not seen it seen it, nah mean...da best i seen dem iz da covers of them...LOL!!!

but yeah i guess since there iz a 4th stage d thurr prolly gon' be a 4th stage arcade...should b interesting, coz it'll b whurr version 3 is and version 3 iz gon be at whurr i play version 2...sick!!!

thanks anyway man fo da gutter tip, the gutters feel sick when u hit em

if you don't take the gutter you lose two things stability and speed. you are a lot more stable taking the gutter at a high speed (for example S turn in cp2 on akina) otherwise you'll bash the wall. then lets say turns like RHOD (turn after the S-turn to the right) which is one of the most important turns on akina, taking it slow would mean sacraficing your cp2 and cp3 time.

and no, arcade stage has NOTHING to do with the movies/series that are out right now. tsuchizaka and shomaru are apart of the MANGA. they only really have two stages left that are already playable in id special stage for ps2, shin myogi and shin usui. if they follow their current rate they always add two stages. version1>2 (irohazaka and akagi) version2>3 (tsuchizaka and shomaru) version3>4 is probably gonna be the true myogi/usui. not to mention there isn't really any logic to that "fourth stage? fourth arcade version" they are probably gonna further the anime if the fan-base is good for stage 4 in japan.

edit: well i mean the series is based off the manga but i mean they are basing the arcade stage off of the manga and not really the series...

I didnt understand one thing you said...cp2? RHOD? Can you clear this stuff up for me? Im a little confused.

Man Initial D Fourth Stage is the shit. The next two episodes are out in japan sometime this week or sometime this month. Its awesome so far. The battles on Happo! Jesus christ its amazing. They show a crazy battle between the styles of grip driving and drifting. And oh man the battle between Takumi and Tohru! Jaw dropping. I'll wait a few more sends before I add the information for the next turn on Akinas Downhill

cp i think means checkpoint,
but dat duluth got me phased bout RHOD???
soz man no offense...

of course they would, initial d is fucking huge!!!!

they'd do it to have the end of all endings ver4. dat'd just b fuckin sick.

I HAVE TO SEE 4TH STAGE SUM HOW!!!! RRRGGHH

akina specialist if u say its as good as u say it iz...i'm intrigued...

I MUST SEE IT AT ALL COSTS, NO MATTER WHAT.

no wait....now that just seems desperate...its not lyke im gon' steal it from the shop that has it.....or will I?...........hhhmmmmm

RHOD = "Right Hand Of Death"

It's a turn on Akina, that's all I know.

From what I can tell, I'm practically the ONLY person in my town that still uses the 86, see below.

And unfortuneately, I still use some of the same techniques I learned back in V.1 but I'm not suer if I'm getting any better.

Sweet, nice times. My skills are still giving me finish times of 3'14" I mess up at the first set of hairpins and that messes me up at the S-turns. I once almost got my time really good on there. I was going 160 before the first S-turn I did it well but then I missed the gutter on the next S-turn and scrapped the wall. I jus stood at 158 throughout the whole way my times would've been incredible...At least three seconds shaved off

And even worse, I still have the 3' 14-15" times on Akina DH. I'm trying to find specific videos about how to take the best in the Version 3. I still have some vids of people playing Versions 1 and some of 2.

dc2 DO require skill just a lot of non-skilled (noobs) play them in version 2, which is fine. in version 3 its worse as far as battles with the no "invisible barrier" so you get right behind their bumper. ESPECIALLY on stages like shomaru. your opponent could eat the wall the WHOLE turn and still be in front, compared to dc2 noobs, this is a lot worse. especially against six-gear cars.

and 3'04 is not really that good (no offense)... full tune knocks down about 3-4 seconds off your stock time. which means you'd have to get rocket start to get under 3 minutes. unless you improve your technique.

there is only one way anyone is fast at akina and its the same in all the versions, feinting with 5-in-4 out. learn that, it'll knock off A LOT off your time hence you can use it on every turn and helps you come out a little bit faster than usual.

man dat sum deep shit that duluth dude sayin..
wish i knew what he sayin', i vaguely understand it but i think i know what he means.

anyways i'm gon play sum D 2morrow

and i'll report back asap

Man if the fastest time is 2'57'--- and he has 3'4 He's just seven seconds away from being just as good. He's like what ranked 12th in world? Thats fuckin good.

Wait 3'4 is ur version two time?? Wow..haha were in the same boat pulling 3'14...I mess up at the same parts sadly. S-turns and hairpins. The two most important parts...This blows

No, the 3' 4" time was in Version 1 with the full A tuned Trueno. I had 100K - 150k poiknts I think before I switched to Version 3.

The problem that I'm trying to correct is to try not to use the gutters as much as I used to.

Unlike Ver.1, it's VERY easy to grind against the wall and lose tones of speed when you use the gutters. I've been practicing to use them on the 5 hairpins to see if it would get me faster times, but it's proving to not be.

I'm just gonna abandon the gutters on the 5 hairpins since I seem to come out of the last one, right before the S-curces, at 110-115kph.

EDIT

the fastest time is 2'52 on version 1 on the internet rankings. i believe the internet rankings for version 3 are 2'55, therefor its harder to get lower on version 3.

and if the gutters aren't improving your time, you must be using them wrong. tell me what you do and i'll try to help you.

I've seen video of a guy taking Akina DH 2' 4X". The upper 40's in Ry's car, one of the RX's. I can send it to anybody if they want.

And I always practice to aim at the first curve at full speed on the outside at the 5 hairpins but I always seem to miss it every time.

Either I turn too late and understeer or turn too early and grind against the wall and along the gutter. That's how I lose precious time alot on Akina.

ok but the internet rankings say 2'52 as the top time... but use land markers to turn, like on the rhod i ALWAYS use the rumble strips on the ground, just before they end.. turn. same for the first hairpin, its a lot easier to feint too if you do this. for the hairpin consecutives after the first turn, turn EARLIER than you fell and accelerate once you hit the gutter. that helped me take the gutters quite well.

hhhmmm....man ya'll need to change the topic aye...ya'll and yo akina downhill and all dat

anyways thurrs utha courses.

lyke i said in my last reply, i said i was gon to talk bout my results of 2day when i played.
so....i did up my evo III (Emperor RULES!!!!) i did wataru(levin) and takumi on akina to clear it, then did da last 2 stooges in happo, den i 4got dat i didnt do tha mr2 stooge on irohazaka den i beat him, than i had to race tak on iro den bunta on akina.

so yeah i'm now full toppz that mah evoIII iz properly completed with misfiring system (FUCKING SICK SHIT)
and i'm so surprised dat mah Evo isn't slow anymore, it goes lyke stink on happo and iro now.
i showed of 3 dc2 stooges on dey on courses...LOL!!

aw and also....it even goes full more stink on Iro reverse...fuck i luv doin it reverse more than downhill now...coz stooges fuck up so bad its funny..

anyways does are my results of 2day playin D

i'll give my times for da courses on da evo sum utha time

Akina downhill is the hardest course to master. And my 86 can't even go anywhere near Iro. I cant go faster than 98 on that damn course. It blows. I think its cuz no matter what you tap the damn wall on that course. And thats the downfall of the 86.

Damn for those of you that seen Stage Four the first four episodes. You think they'll make that course Takumi raced Tohru on? That'd be awesome to take the game that far in realism to actually do weight shifting. Awesome stuff. Before you know it they're gonna add a clutch a E-brake. Tire meters. And your car can be damaged and you gotta spend points on fixing it. HAHAHA. Yeah right..

akina isn't the hardest course to master. that is why its hard. the three new stages definitely add something new into the mix. akina snow - speed balance, you can't go super fast nor can you go super slow for a turn. shomaru - its so narrow its quite easy to bump into walls and screw up your time, yes it is the narrowest course in the game. tsuch its LIKE akina but has more turns and more turns VITAL to your whole, sharp turns i should say.

What would you say are good speeds to exit turns on Akina snow? I blow at that stage.

Shomaru in the rain is frickin hard. Cuz its so narrow, SID is lucky he has his Capp.

My friend cant beat the last man in the EVO, hes the last guy in Tschu anytips?

r u serious ur 86 only goes 98k's???.

how many points have u got on it???
thats just weird, ya can at least reach 120k's or abit more than that even.

i think with that akina deal is that it just takes practice.
do the course a couple of times, then after that work out wat your doing wrong, then do it better.
all i can say is that practice makes perfect, dont always try and achieve a good time (tho ery1 lykes to) but be patient with it and work things out with it.

aiight, i need to ask a question?

does that stupid dc2 have a flaw on any of the levels?? apparently pplz tell me that its akagi up hill wet???.
i've done it it acouple times and it works but iz thurr any utha level?

Im talking about on Irohazaka. My hachi cant get out of 98ks' thats because hachis'=slow on Iro. Iro is the worse stage for an 86

yeah i know what your talkin' about but i really find that hard to believe, 1 of the guys that plays intial d, has an trueno, it goes lyke stink man...are shifting at the rite rpms?
and even my levin goes at 120 sumthin??....
man da machine u use must b fuct or sumtin'...LOL!!...soz no offense

uh, no. sid isn't lucky, capp isn't that good in the rain on shomaru its good on dry.

what man? i'm guessing the blonde haired one, even though he isn't the "last" guy on tsuchi since keisuke and takumi are. anyways, to beat him since its inbound take the consecutive turns in FOURTH gear and don't hit any walls. should be pretty simple. then he shouldn't have any problem the rest of the course, even though its slow, hitting the wall will screw him over for the whole race in the begining since the tunnel is at the start instead of the end.

good speeds on akina snow? they should never really exceed 120 exit speeds EXCEPT for the left hand turn on akina, you know after the rhod of death even then thats still around 123-5. lift off the accel on the S-turn before the rhod and don't be afraid to downshift and upshift really quickly to make your car sorta "drift" i do this only on the hairpins though. prepare for understeer on the left hand curve before the last right hand curve on akina too, hence there is TONS of understeer for the left curve.

dc2 sucks in version 3. in version 2 though its weakness is akagi wet, myogi, usui (not a high top speed) but it can EASILY beat rx7's since it has a faster start-up in the first two gears (just push your car into them before 3rd gear) and you can block the whole way. if we are talking about version 3, its sorta like... what level doesn't it suck at? and thats really only happougahara.

on iro just take most of the turns in 3rd i must emphasize CLEAN TURNS though so you can upshift to fourth and get that fourth gear acceleration for ya going.

and yes, he just doesn't know irohazaka that well, its not bad... probably just doesn't play it that much. it gets easier after time.

aiight thanx duluth dude ur a topz playa!
wat car do u use for initial d?

i mostly use mah evo III

aiight thanx duluth dude ur a topz playa!
wat car do u use for initial d?

i mostly use mah evo III

i drive anything i can. after i full tune a card i just start another one so i have quite a few that i play. my favorite is the evo's and trueno.

Aye, duluth do you have an AE85?

Aye, duluth do you have an AE85?

yeah but i don't getta play that much i live quite far away from initial-d version 3. but i have 1 full tuned trueno and a 120,000 point evo 3/5. i have tons of non-played cars like the 85 the only time i tried it is when i bought it. i just read a lot about how to play id, i still needa work on my times too! :grinno: i wanna buy special stage though....

Special Stage Eh? I heard you need a MOD chip to play that. Anywho, anyone hear any news about Special Stage comming to America?? I heard if Arcade Stage v.3 does really well they're gonna bring Special stage over seas.

its easier just to get a japanese ps2 + its legal to do it that way while mod chips aren't. special stage i doubt is coming to america, they've already had 1 gba game 1 ps game 1 ps2 game and i'm sure there might be more? while american games that one by valusoft is just utter shit. all of there games were a lot better than that valusoft one. if they do send it overseas, it'll be really stupid and have tokyopop translations and hardly be worth playing. if you don't know what i mean go buy that initial-d game thats out for pc.

They're selling the Japanese one the original copy and stuff. You just need the MOD chip to play Japanese games thats all. Dang, thats alot of Initial D games I didnt know about. You try that Initial D game for PC? That Mountain Racer or whatever.

thats the volusoft one. they are making some sorta online initial-d game though. but i prefer buying a japanese ps2 and keeping the warrant plus i don't have to soder anything. if i did the warrant would be void plus i'd be out 150 bucks.

Either way your gonna spend another 150$ if you think about it. Your gonna buy a japanese PS2 and whatever shipping and stuff or you can buy a MOD chip and lose the 150$ warranty same thing. But, I dunno the Japanese PS2 sounds alot better than the MOd chip. Online Initial D? Thats awesome. Can you give me any info on that?

i bought the valusoft version of initial d ya'll a while back ago...and man can i say...that game is fuct to tha max!!!!!!!!!!.....LOL!!!
what a waste of $20 aussie dollars i'm tellin ya!
when it first started it up..i knew it was shit to the max!!! and i think duluth knows what i'm talkin bout by what he said bout that valusoft shit.
so the next day i refunded it and played $20 bucks worth of initial d ver2 (i'm playin ver 2 rite now, but we also got ver3).
but i'd rather purchase a jap ps2, really wouldnt want to fuck up the warranty on ya good ps2, if ya get tha jap 1, u can use it for play special stage, and keep $150 on sumpin' else, dats da best idea i'm wit akinaspecialist on dat 1

aw fuck that sounds confusin in mah reply.
aw i get it now, ya dont get $150 bucks to keep..duh!
fuck thats slack
aw i'm feelin bit cheap rite now, i'm b playin d again 2moz and i gots ta race mah level 13 dc2 friend on iro reverse, and i really want the win, since dem cheap asses get home course boost i'ma pretend to press the brake...hehehe...dats so sly!!!
but i hate it when utha pplz do it on ya aswell!!!
rrggghh pisses me off

Hahaha. Well tell us if you win. So the valusoft version equals worthless? Why is that? I mean did it just suck that much. Was it the same thing in the arcade? I dont know much about the game.

i posted info about the initial-d online awhile back, might wanna search all my posts for the link 'cause i forgot it.

yes, the music sucked in it to. not to mention the wanna be "street talk". let alone game play made enough of us wanna puke. the game deserves a 0/10, reminds me of the japanese ps1 initial-d except that was a lot better than this crap.

AGHHHHHHHHH Damn that scares me from ever wanting that game. Lol Wanna be street talk like what? Yo foo wanna race?! I aint racin that Panda Trueno that foo is Janky!! Thats hilarious.

Well took on Akina DH with my S13. Beat my 86 time by two seconds. I wonder what it is about the S13 and my 86 but after three tries with my S13 I already beat my time with my 86. I've been using the hachi since version 1!!! Whats wrong with my doc?

i say you just don't understand the car yet. keep driving it, you'll eventualy get it.

I hope so. Im already feeling alot better with the S13. Haha The pssh when I shift is very motivating during a race. Its fun. But I'll try to keep at the 86. But who knows maybe it isnt the car for me

hhhmmm....i think i'm partially on the same boat as you....took me a while with my evo III, but i didnt really get the feel of it untill i reached at least over 300k points, but then again i feel lyke kyoichi sudou, lyke racin recklessly then finding the way of how the opponent races, then drive with a well tuned car...and even better the misfiring system comes in handy...acting all n/a on corners and fast on straits...i just luv it!!

so dont feel so bummed out akinaspecialist....it really does take time to feel out your car, ya prolly have to either tighten or losen your steering...but even that takes time to adjust to.

p.s has any of you tried that new game midnight R maximum tuned

aw and i lost to my fag friend cheap ass dc2 stooge on iro reverse if u wanted to know akina specialist i really tried to get away with the no foot break thing but he was checkin me so i had to

rrrgghhh..i wanted to verse him on akagi uphill wet but ran out of tokens to play him....rrrrgghhh
but i doubt the outcome would have changed..even if it is the flaw of that stupid car.

Wow, I was so frickin scared. I got banned. But, anywho I got let back in. :D Thank you, you know who. Anyways. We all lose every no and then. Try beating him on a course where the DC2 isnt so powerful. I mean even though he has an uber advantage dont take away his whole advantage and such.

Anyways that sucks. I guess I should stick with my 86. I figured out where I crap out on Akina. Its on those first two hairpins. After that the long straight its cuz im not exiting the final hairpin right. I'll fix that soon. Im starting to gutter the RHOD! Woo! My exit speed on that is getting better. Hopefully my S-turns speed will get better after the final haipin. Imma slowly get better now that I know what Im doing wrong.

cool cool!

has any ever seen that game midnight r maximum tuned

ACK! I HATE Shomaru Pass!

Not only did I barely manage to defeat the CPU's but I couldn't even get past one of the best people in town!

That track is so narrow, once you get the lead, you might as well have wasted your tokens.

Yeah Shomaru is gay. We don't believe in blocking at the arcade I goto. Well not complete blocking anyways. Theres always line blocking.

Line Blocking: Meaning you take the best line forcing you opponent to take the worse line.

Other than that we dont use those cheating Shingo tactics. Smashing someone at the start and forcing them into the railing. Blocking them on straightaways. Smashing them into a wall as they try to pass you. And there are certain parts where you can pass someone on Shomaru, so good luck. Don't hit any walls and pass them from the inside when they give you enough room during a turn.

iz dat rx-8 da cheap ass car for dat version utha than the evos....evos iz sick!!!

Eh, nah. RX-8 just has a really good start up. So I think thats what attract people other than that the RX-8 blows. The evo is a hard car to go up against. Especially in weather conditions someone in an FR is gonna have real problems.

its "god" car but both on dry and on wet certain cars can beat it pretty easily. 34 for wet/snow and gdb for dry. of course blocking is needed but its not like dc2 where it has endless home course stages and godly times. the evo is good but slow start-up.. same for the capp.

So, the RX-8 is mostly an all-around car? Yeah, the R34 got an upgrade and is actually somewhat good now. The R32 is the best car over here at my arcade on DH AK S. 4WD is superiority in the snow no matter what.

UPDATE:

At the arcade today, I've defeated people a total of 9 times and lost 2.

I've deated the WHOLE Legend Of The Streets mode including all the bosses (including Bunta), my Trueno is now up to 690,000+ points, my Battle Level is now 10, defeated Bunta on Irohazaka DH.

And since I've beaten Bunta, I think my time on Akina DH Dry is now 3' 10".

And it seems that I've made a reputation at the arcade because these guys were asking if I was "Jim". :biggrin:


Sorry, just real happy today.

Hahaha. Congratulations Keitaro man. Your alot faster than me still. But, who knows if we did race either of us could win. Racing another person is alot different than racing on time attack. You get nervous cuz they're right on your ass and sometimes you make more mistakes cuz of the pressure. The fastest vs. time for me was 3'12" on AK DH Dry

hhhhmmm.....congrats to ya keitaro!!!
props to ya
i played version 2 coz dats da version i'm playin
thurr this dude that i raced alot a fair while ago, with a automatic skyline(LOL!!!!). but its wack
he races heaps and he aint even finished all the levels....i raced him and all this...and i shit myself when i saw his battle level was 11 (while mine was only 4)....so i was worried and he was all lyke "aw i've got 400k points now on mah skyline"..and i was lyke "ok"....he raced me on irohazaka..LOL!!! (i gots evo III...LOL!! EMPERORS RULE!!)
we bout to start da race and yeah, i see his aura and all dis (raced speed boost off) and so we begin da race on iro, and just abit after the strait. hes all lyke "aw i think the speed boost is on" and i'm lyke "no"...i keep up with him till the third hairpin and over take him on the outside..and i was lyke "FUCK YEAH"...then i beat him by lyke 200+metres...anyways it was funny but i thought it was fuckt that i dint go up a level..but he battle leveled down...does that mean he loses his aura??
and mah couzin is already a lvl 5 and aint finished all da levels yet..i'm so cut but at the same time i'm happy coz i won....i thought i was gon' have to get mah back on iro reverse

Racing another person is alot different than racing on time attack. You get nervous cuz they're right on your ass and sometimes you make more mistakes cuz of the pressure.

People aren't my problem, well they are, but I'm more worried about defeating Bunta. That guy was totally on my ass at Iro DH, no more than 4.5 - 25 meters behind me on average, even with the jumps.


And about the people, I've seen people at my arcade with a LEVEL 10 on IRO DH. And I just defeated LV 1 Bunta. >_<

Bunta is an over-rated deuche bag. I said it. But, my problem is people. I went to a new arcade today! These guys block all day and night. They lost alot because I learned there tricks and braked so they crash and mess up there accel. Haha jackarases.
Anyways. We need to start up another talk about initial d. Wanna discuss the differences between all the EVO's besides the final upgrades? I believe the EVO iii is the best, anti-lag(miss-firing system)whatever you wanna call its is cool with me. But that is awesome. The fact that its a proffesional upgrade and he added it to his car. Thats just nuts. But like Takumi said, "That bang bang bang! From that car is annoying!" Anyone wanna make some imput on that?

I actually got a EVO 3 and EVO 5.

The 5 I got recently and it handles less than the EVO 3 and it doesn't have the acceleration 3 does.


BTW, how do you defeat Bunta? On any of the tracks?

Woo. Imma grab an EVOiii! Thanks for your input. Oh, you just gotta be good. Beating Bunta on Myogi=hard. You gotta keep your car at 201 the whole way through or you lose. Bunta is fast but not impossible to beat.

yeah oi akinaspecialist get an EvoIII coz i've got 1 and its really hot....i mean even ryouske said it himself in 2nd stage, when takumi races kyoichi sudou on akagi " you could say kouichi's turbo tuning is the best"
and i believe that it is true.
I LOVE MY MISFIRING SYSTEM!!!
but the flaw with getting 1 is that, u can't change the course of the EVO III once u choose the kyoichi course (course A) to get the misfiring system. you can only stay on course A and you cant change the muffler or else you lose the misfiring system...so there are benefits to be had but also things to be lost, you can still get rim changes and rear spoiler changes, just dont change ur exhaust.
a dude at my arcade did that and he lost his misfiring system for 60 plays...he cried (lol) but not really he just got upset...
so yeah...there you go akina specialist
play on dawg and represent !EMPEROR!

I didn't know that. My EVO 3 has the Course B parts.
