Initial D by Sega Rosso

it has all the names chosen by Tokyo pop but that doesn't bother me.
Anyone played it

i got a 125000 point Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R purple flip option B with Volk TE37 rims

its soooooo cool but i can't beat bunta he's too fast

yeah the name change is annoying but that wont detour me from playing the game. i got an FC RX-7, i dont remember how many points i got but i know i still suck. im stuck at Keisuke, came really close to beating him but would always mess up on the high speed sharp turns and hit the wall. im thinking about choosing a different car maybe an ITR or some 4WD, any suggestion.

Version 1 or 2?
I know that the S15 in the game is very hard to control.. argh.
I am currently using a FD Spirit R with only 85k points.. Because the game over here is expensive..
1 game is SG$1.50 or SG$2.. with means.. US$0.85 or US$1.15
I don't have much money since I am a student and not working.

In Version 2, each car has it own advantages and disadvantages.
In my country, there are many FD users.. don't know why though...
But now a trend is starting up that everyone try using Bunta's Car!~ The WRX. And you can get the WRX with some steps from the start of the game.

This game really burns your pocket. Beware!!:D
I've burn mine during Version 1..
Now controlling not to burn anymore. ;)

Oh yeah, do you guys have long queues to play Initial D?

NOT TO GO O/T BUT BEEN TRYING FOR TTHE LAST FEW DAYS TO GET MY SKYLINE R34 GTR V-SPEC TO DRIFT PERFECTLY IN GRAND TURISMO 3


WAS TRYING TO DOWNLOAD EPISODES OF INITIAL D OFF KAZAA...BUT HAVN'T MANAGED IT SO FAR

just leave you comp on all night .......


as for queues for Initial D are usually large.

Damn those little kids

Ha!:rolleyes:

the lines arent too bad here, they just added another machine a few weeks ago. even then no one hogs the machine, win or loose you only play once then to the end of the line. i try to get to the machines during off-peak though, you know during school hours. its kinda scary during the peak times, there are like a bunch of kids setting up camp next to the machines. and yes this game will burn a hole in your wallet, i usually spend no more than $5 but i can easily plop out $20 and play for hours.

LoLz, so I guess Sega Rosso has earn quite an amount of money from us. :D
I guess wherever you are in the world playing Initial D arcade stage, the situation is the same. Kids gathering the machines hogging, bragging how good they are.. blahz.

I too try to play during off peak hours :) Just hate queues.

i finish work at 10pm fri sat and sun and i spend the next half hour hogging the Initial D arcades across the road.

this game is a RIP OFF... 2 bucks for one race!!

and i thought $1 a game was pretty expensive, $2 is a total rip off

it really does depend where you go

i pay 50p a game

well the game is addivctive... but two bucks is just a rip....
i seen ppl spend like 75 bucks on a card...crazy rich bastards!

i give up its too hard to beat bunta even with the ultra cars - RX7

its just too fast i nearly beat him i was like on his rear bumper when i hit the finish line every single time i raced him after that it got worse.

I SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY = £5 last night

*note to self, don't burn your own pocket. :D *

I hate the u.s. ! i just heard about thisgme and my friend told me played but the place to play is a hour from house if not more.. I HATE THE U.S.!

Intitial D is soo awesome i wish i could play the game

p.s endless: thats ur g.f.?! DAMN she is fine as hell!

well im still using an AT but i noticed that people who use MT always jump to 3rd gear off the starting line. is it suppose to accelerate faster off the line, that doesnt make sense though. wouldnt it be ideal to redline every gear instead.

in the version one there is a rocket start that you can do which involves shifting to third of the line

i've tried and done it - it gives a massive boost. doesn't work in Version 2 tho

I only play ver.2 now. I love my altezza. And my EVO III. Which hasnt got the misfire system yet, but only like 90000 points to go.:rolleyes:

Yupz.
Though FD have a fast start if you rev to 4500 to start ( If I don't remember wrongly.. :D )
And also.. the rims does affect the performance for the car ;)
I love the Misfiring system !!

this guy showed up yesterday at the Bowlplex (where the arcade is situated and opposite my work) with a 1,500,000 point white RX7

I managed to get my Silvia S15 into some course records but i still can't beat bunta with it ..............its soooo slow


the guy with the RX7 didn't shift at the red line either he first went to like 4500 then 5000 then something else then redlined it to shift to fifth

1500000 is nothing in ver. 2. I asw a guy with a 9 million point EVO 7. And damn he knew how to use it. He was really fast.
I wanted to get teh S15, but everyone advised me against it cos its just so slow. The only good 6 speed car is the Altezza followed by the GDB, which is wierd cos the GDB has a 6th going about 140 kms compared to the altezzas 170. People only use the GDB cos its got really good grip and fast accel in 3rd and 4th. So its really good for Iro.

this is version one!

If you get a Hachi Roku and take the Takumi route

when you get the engine it becomes the fastest car in the game :o

hey ya'll wasup!!!!

i'm a big fan of initial d!!!!!!!....its heaps mad

i use the toyota trueno.
i was just wandering if any1 knew the points order that u have to get time after time to get upgrades on the cars...i really need to know....i really hate having to blow alot of money on the game of knowing when i get my next up grade.

ive got the new wheels and exhaust and stuff...i was wandering what points i have to earn to get the next upgrades.......see i guess the main point of it is that i really want my car to become fast and i get so pissed off when my friend thinks he's all that with his gay skyline gtr -r32...he heaps gives me the shits..so could ya'll be able to help out in letting me know

thanx...

pz

oh.....this is for all about version 1.....really. really need to know the points..

ok

pz

oh and 1 more thing....can u get the misfireing system for the LanEvo 3 in the 1st version of initial d.....i'm thinking of getting 1.

ok

thanx

pz

as far as i know the EVO's dont get the misfiring system, and you need 60,000 points to get the car fully customized. after that comes the maintenance and dont bother wasting your points on the rims they do nothing.

The trueno's not the fastest car in the game, the FD is. The Trueno is a close second and about even on akina.

Also, the upgrades don't help all that much. A 465,000 point car is only about 4-5 seconds faster than a 0 points car. A 60,000 is about 2-3 seconds faster.

The main thing is to just drive well and don't hit the walls because that stops your acceleration. It's a very unrealistic game but for the arcade it's quite good. And as for bunta, just do time trials on akina DH at night. I've got my time down to about 3:08. You need just a second or two faster than that to beat Bunta.

thanx pplz for da info and stuff.......


ummm....how long since the second version of initial d came out from wherever ya'll r from.....

me from aus and we only just got initial d.......


do u guys ever try the 'heel and toe' technique?????

i've tried it on mah car but it's heaps hard to control after the hairpins...

any ideas run them by me...


aiight

pz

still havent gotten ver. 2 over here yet, as for heel toe isnt it pointless if you can shift to neutral :confused:. and what do you mean by hard to control, is it fish tailing. if so countersteer very quickly and only for a split second, it should stabalize the car.

Um, I'm more interested in just how the hell he's doing it seeing as how theres no clutch on the Initial D game:confused:

post your Akina times


Trueno: 3:03:255 (i dunno the smaller numbers)


Yea the RX7 seems faster a little

my Usui Clockwise is 2:52:200 something like that

yeh i know it's weird but i kinda figured mah own style of doing the drifting.....i know theres no clutch...

it goes lyke this......eg:

the 1 hairpin in myogi:

ur go down nearly just about say an approx estimate distance lyke 5 0r 6 meters b4 the hairpin u in it at 5 gear then go down to 4 gear, lightly hit the brake with the heel of ur right foot and at the same time hit the acceleration with the toes or ur right foot as much as u can...if u cant seem to redline it....take it down to the next anutha gear, then b4 exiting the turn take it up a gear and countersteer at the exit of the turn...

yeh i know it's alot to do......but it's not to bad...i dont know why i'm giving mah self a hard time...i just lyke the whole drifting feel and i dont know how to drive but just been doing it


eh....


ok thanx for all da feedback

what youre doing is called "left foot braking" my son, its a very useful technique and very hard to learn in real life. most people are use to controling the speed with only their right foot, and when you throw the clutch in the mix it gets a little confusing.

as for me i dont really have time to practice much, like only once a week and i dont spend alot on the game either so my fastest time is only '3.11.xxx on my FC3S.

Version 2 was out pretty long ago. When you get Evo 3 as your car in Version 2, there is Misfiring System.. ;)

I have stopped playing as it really burns pocket!!

For Myogi, that corner can be usually cleared at 190- 200 ++.
Of course, you must know how to control.

Actually, does your car really drift when you play Initial D? IMO, it only drift at Myogi and Usui. The other tracks, they just turn but not drifting.

i'm managing to drift at Akina but its damn hard
Happogahara is god damn hard and those tight hairpins are annoying as hell i usually take em in 3rd

YAY!!!!!!



me just got myself a new car for initial d 1st version......the FC :D

i'm full heaps happy coz this car has actually got sum speed compared to the trueno

i've updated it as far as ive upgraded the trueno....

i told my brother to race the trueno with my FC and my brother is really exceptional to the game.....he has already finished the game with his FD......neways.......we raced on akina and it was so unexpected that i had beaten the trueno with the FC and my brother is more experienced than i am in the game......

ok neways

just lettin' ya'll know

my time for akina is 3:03:255, the same as NSX-R-SSJ20K and that was with my FC.......i love it now

ok

pz

i can't get my FC to go anywhere near as fast without more mods

My Usui lap of 2:52 is something i can't match with other cars

yeh true

ya really actually gotta get all da FCs' upgrades....it really actually helps.

i dont really know if it makes any sense but i think if u get more upgrades it prolly affects the tires

i think the tires on the FC are really slippy

it turns real sharply on some of the weak turns even

ok

pz

The rims does affect the cars handling :)

yeh but i already got the rims upgrade at the begining and its all good...
but they only get crapper sorta when they give u the option of getting new rims

I drive the R34, but this was before the whole 2F2F thing, i was NEVER influenced by that movie. i hate it most when people drive the 86 or FDs just because theyre the best cars. then theres the pussies who drive a DC2 and "forget" to turn handicap off and ctach up to you on happo gahara

I've got a silver FD3s RX-7 with 35,000 points.. just ran 3'12'985 on Akina Downhill time attack but every time I race Tak he sideswipes me off the road on this one corner and I fall so far behind. I have another card with an R32 with about 90,000 but I can run faster with the RX-7 and still lose to him. I guess I've got to get some more money and keep trying. That game is so addicting, haha.

with takumi u have to actually get a fair distance away from him....the only reason why he catches up to u is that he probably comes close to the corners.... u can usually see him do it on the hairpins when ur just comming out of 1 in ur rear view mirror....try it.....it healps just alittle to come close to the turns/corners stuff.

since u've got the FD3S u've got major turbo....if u've scene the cartoon of INITIAL D 2nd Stage....on chapter 11 or 12.....it shows the levin turbo 86 he joggs the steering wheel from left to right to gain back turbo from turbo lag when comming out of the turns...and gainning speeds on the straights.

uuuummmmm......pretty much every1 knows that turbo cars come out slower out of the hairpins than a natural aspiration (NA) car which is takumi's car.

the main thing pretty much in akina is too keep up ur speed wit tha turbo and just comming pretty close of the hairpins.

it takes awhile tryna perfect the commnig close on the hairpins (took me a bout 15 tries) untill i could perfect it

ok good luck

you're wrong

you practise something called Anti Lag

there's a system and a way of driving

You hit the accelerator before you exit the turn so when you exit the turn you're on full boost.

aye man just chill


i'm just giving him sum tips that i use


u just trippin' man....


no offense

explain ur tactics

i think i could use sum tips from u

since ur so sure of ur tactic

i'm just helping the guy out


i didnt mean to offend ne1

i heard apparently from my friend thats got the R-32

he's played this taiwanese version of initial d coz this mandarin dude has got lyke 6 machines of initial d.

(i reckon he'z just yankin' mah chain) MUthaFUckA

and he says apperently that it has 5-6 gears depending on what car u have.....it blocks out the 6th gear if u get a 5 gear car....and it has a clutch and handbrake.....

now i dont know if i can blieve him but i dont know...

do ya'll know nething about this...or heard of it
