Confused????

[leet240sx]

I was just wondering what you guys were talkin bout, about the misfiring system? What is that and what does it do? And i was just wondering what kinda car is a pretty decent car to start playin with, I just started playing ID.

[duluth2006]

anti-lag system or misfiring system elimnates turbo lag. in the game it gives you a faster start-up plus it looks cool 'cause the evoIII is the only car that has it. decent car to start out with? i'd go with an evo.

I already talked to him on AIM. He's getting a GC8V, since it doesn't get its ass handed to it on Akina as easily, and that's a pretty common course.

[duluth2006]

its not anymore common than any of the other stages. truly more people in version 3 play the new stages compared to anything.

[kman10587]

Not in his area they don't. Besides, the GC8V will keep up with any car just fine on Shomaru or Tsuchizaka.

[duluth2006]

ok... so if he is versed on akina a lot why does it matter about shomaru and tsuchi? not to mention like i've stated before gc8v start-up sucks, it'll get owned on shomaru. if he's playing shomaru he should definitely go for a gdb or rx-8, but if he's getting versed on the older stages gc8v is just as good as the evo (meaning its a good choice). but if its just to get better and not actually battle he might wanna try a(n) underpowered car.

Whatever, it seems that your view of "start-up = everything" isn't very popular around here.

[AkinaSpecialist]

wow you two are at it again? Id say the GC8V is a better nooby car than the RX-8. I thought the 86 was a nooby car but later on realized how badly its penalized by wall tapping.

[kman10587]

No, we're not. I'm leavin' this thread right now. :P

[duluth2006]

it is the most important factor in a battle. i don't want to explain it again but unless boost is on the person in back is at a huge disadvantage, more-so than version 2. no glitching + different block system, even you noticed it akinaspecialist.

kman, you never answered my question either... how do you pass if the person in front hits the apex on everyturn so you cannot pass through the inside?


yet another reason why a slow start-up sucks in battle.

Ok, Dilip discovered the reason why it is easier to block now, and why it is harder to pass someone. It's not because of the slower speeds, nor is it because there is no presence of a god car now. The reason is pretty simple...

When watching vids of some version 2 battles, i notice something....somehow the car behind will never get VERY close to the car in front (bumper to ass)..there is a force (a bouncing effect) pushing it away from the car in front....now, because of this, the car behind will always have full vision of the road, with no big ass to block him (or less frequently) because of this invisible 'force'..

In version 3, that bouncing effect is gone...if you are right behind him and can smell his ass, there is no force to push you slightly away from him...because of that, you are more often into situations where you'll be right on the opponent's butt...AND because of this, behold, your view of the road is often not the best...

So that is why it is harder for an opponent to pass now, the chaser will often be in situations where he can't see the road well. Thus, more mistakes are made, the chaser is more likely to be smashed into walls by the blocker, and therefore the blocker is the one that calls the shots.

If anyone has doubts about this, go back and watch version 2 battle vids again. That bouncing effect when the car behind gets close to the front car on straights, is unmistakable if you observe. I think no one really noticed it..

Re-read the other thread carefully; the answer is in there. If you still aren't seeing it, then you are missing my entire point. There is no need to do this all over again. Bye.

[duluth2006]

i guess i am missing your point because i don't see it. start-up is important and if your gonna say it isn't, that's fine. i can prove more-so why its important but you just tell me skill will win, but that obviously isn't true. hitting an apex is a very basic technique, blocking is also a basic technique... the other person could be doing 5-4 and still lose skill - 0, basic - 1.
