I-D-3 Q on points & more

[ZigRoxi]

ok in initial D ver 3
i have only playing for a week on a card i made & i was wondering how far in points do i have to get before i get like better turbo or more boost something as i choose a SLOW car in comparison to everyone else i got the GT-Four Celica {ST205} mainly b/c no one around here drives it & i have set most if not all the celiica model records where i play. but i'm way better w/ IMPREZA WRX STi Version VI [GC8] proven by 8sec diff on akina w/o mods vs my celica w/ 115k points all earned yesterday & 6sec diff on Usui, i'm going off actual overall times from time attack

the celica is slow, but i beat Myog, Usui, Akagi & i got to but can't beat RY on Akina. i tried a bunta lvl on myog & got beat badly, a guy told me if i stay above 200km/hr i can beat bunta, but the celica barly can do 201km & takes forever to get there!

my fav track is Tsuchisaka
any thoughts?

I have an Evo III and a whole lot of other cars and on Akina, RY on any straight seems be faster even if you pull out of a curve 10km faster than him, but my advice is to block him. If you are hittin the curves right you should pull away on the 5 consecutive harpins

[duluth2006]

wrong again my friend. no matter how fast you come outta the turn ry will always be behind you. you will not be able to beat him more than 100-5m. certain characters, like ry, keep up with you no matter what. unlike certain characters like k.t. you can beat him by however fast you really go from anywhere 100-1000 (i doubt 1000 though). just the way the game was designed. just don't hit walls + break down to an appropriate speed. that beats everyone in lots.

[AkinaSpecialist]

Yep. AK DH is hard. And the GT four is actually a good car. Especially cuz of its 4WD ability it shouldnt do too bad on AK DH S.(Akina Downhill Snow)

I noticed that. I was wondering why I couldnt beat Ry badly. Now I know.

You should an 86 V.3 newbie, awesome car. Then i can teach you can techniques and duluth can too. He knows way more than i do.

ok cool not feeling like a total loser now, i am gonna keep trying with my celica

i love speedzone in dallas on tuesday $10 all i can play!

but you do have to trade off every race & let others go, but still way better than $2 a shot. i got like 25 turns in 5hr thats like 40 cents a game! i play untill happy hour & then i really suck as i'm a bit buzzed

[AkinaSpecialist]

Hahaha. Drinking=bad. But yeah we switch off, but not everyrace. See the thing about it is. We realized were saving money. But, to save even more money you dont want to renew your card fast. So what we do all the time is to let the person in front go two or three times. Then everyone else goes two or three times. We got that 10$ all day thing over here. Its at an arcade called Boomers. Only problem is, the left steering wheel is jacked to the point where it doesnt lock and it just keeps spinning and spinning, plus its so loose your wheel stiffness setting is like -1. The right wheel is uber stiff like level 7 stiffness. Other than that it doesnt turn to the right all the way you lose a good cm's in turning cuz of that so, yeah its really hard to beat anybody including the CPU's at times.

i gotta get my car to do those kinda things....

[JefferyCE9A]

Did you say that i was wrong i played ry on akina with my stock Evo VII and at the curve after the part that is not that curvy enough to brake you know the long part where you can hit fifth(Or sixth depending on the car) right after we came out of that curve i was beating him by 89 meters then he pulled with in 70 by the time we got to the next corner, and if you are tryin to say that the computer is using boost then you are right.

[AkinaSpecialist]

Yep, computer uses boost at certain meters. Its only so you dont make a complete ass of the 'best' characters in Initial D. We all could decimate Ry if the game would let us. But, fact is that it automatically gets really good at the current course depending on how far behind it is.
