holy god. anyone played this? i realize i might be behind in times, but it happens. anyways, while my friend & i were in sioux falls (closest mitsu dealership) we stopped by this arcade after my car was finished. he was telling me all about this car game that wasnt like nascar. ok im in ...lets go.

i see initial d when we walk in and instantlly i was like ahhhhhhh. even though ive never seen any of the episodes. evoVII was the car to be ...just had to.

its a pretty fun game actually. my friend was saying the steering was a little tough but i was handling it better than he was. and i dunno how many times hes played it. but a few races in, i was racing on osui against some moron with a miata. and at the end of the first lap he caught me and passed on the front strait. so naturally i get all pissed ...but i havent lost my composure yet. so i was all over him in the last half of the track and we round the last corner and onto the front strait. and im siting forward in my seat smashing the gas pedal to the floor going cmon! cmon! CMON! GO GO GO! NO CMON DAMNIT GO! i lost by a wheel. i was so pissed i hit the machine.

my friends over there racing and just dying of laughter so hes losing now. then there were 2 little girls playing air hockey with mom&grams watching them. and some random other people too. one guy playing police 911 and some other little demons running around. after i lost & had my little show of anger i noticed in the glare on the screen that they were all staring at me like :-o my friends still laughing and he says, d00d ...everyone is staring at you. then i jumped out and said fk this shi ...im getting more tokens i need to beat this asshole.

anyone else experience the joy & anger this game has to offer? :2funny:

ya first time i played initial d arcade was about 6 months ago...so don't worry if you're late playing this game

the arcade game is a serious $$$ pit

to really compete in this game you have to spend money on getting a card that stores your records and pts you earn during each race...pts = upgrades to your car...really can't compete with the higher ranking cars in the game with the stock car of your choice >:(

also another tip about this game...bumping into walls really slows your car down...and it's almost instant game over since it takes forever to build up speed again...and by that time the AI would've blown by you

i've been playing the ps2 version "special stage" it's a great game with kick ass music...frustrating at times but it's all fun...like right now "F@$@ that cheap a$$ Integra Type-R on Happougahara" :buck2:

current race i'm on ...driving my Trueno (AE86) with 11K rpm engine 8)

you have to watch the anime...it's pimp and you'll enjoy the game more 8)

yah i know the arcades a $$$ pit ...dollar each race. its rediculous. fun ..but rediculous.

yah the damn wall is a killer. found that out the first couple of races i did. of course since i never played this game before in my life ...naturally i select some of the harder sprint stages. i have the card with my info saved on it ...blue evoVII. i wasnt aware there was a time limit to pick so i was just sitting there looking at the colors and then it saved that. NO I WANTED WHITE DAMNIT. oh well.

whats the anime like ...is it a 30min episode for 20bucks containing one race? thats the impression i got from the couple that were at best buy. both were of some guy with a black evoIII.

Currently Initial D is on its "fourth stage". You can download those here through bit torrent:

http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/402.html

You can probably find downloads to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd stage (movie) on some of the more popular torrent sites like mininova.org or torrentreactor.net. There's also a "Initial D Battle Stage" and "Initial D Extra Stage". Here's a torent link to Battle Stage:

http://a.scarywater.net/soldats/%5BSoldats%5D%20Initial%20D%20-%20Battle%20Stage.avi.torrent

There's also a movie with real actors called Initial D: Live Action, which you can also find on mininova or torrentreactor probably.* O0

on saturday @ the Asian Garden Mall in westminister & bolsa...saw a group of kids playing the game

kid in the evo IV loses to his buddy in the trueno on akina... big surprise...pretty decent players both of them :roll:

then this girl comes in challenges the trueno driver...she's i'm guessing maybe like 8 or something...she picks I believe USUI course...she also had like a 85% win ratio out of like 90 races

girl just tore up the trueno player...she built up like a 600m lead at one point :-o

is there any differences between the arcade ver and the special stage ps2 ver?

the way they were snapping the wheel left and right seemed unrealistic on the way the cars were taking the corners :idiot2:

Are you sure about this? As far as anime goes, Initial D is still on fourth stage. It's at episode 22 right now, and they release two episodes about every 3 months. Maybe you're talking about the manga (comic).. I'm not sure how far along that is, though.

no, im pretty sure they are done with the 4th stage anime-wise. i know exactly what you mean though how only a few episodes every few months but my friends stationed over there tell me the manga(written comic, for all who dont know) is almost done with the 5th stage and i might be wrong about starting the 6th but from what i know, and seen, they are definately past the 4th and ready to get done with the 5th stage in japan show-wise. if you want, i can tell you what happens...lol.

No offense to you or your friends, but I'm going to have to disagree with you on the existence of a 5th/6th stage anime (cartoon.. not comics). Find me a link to a Japanese site for a 5th/6th stage and then I'll believe you.

Anybody with internet can download the episodes that come out in Japan as soon as they air, so the rest of the world never gets left behind.

I just reread your post. I guess you meant the manga for fourth stage is done. Then yeah.. I agree with you there. Anime is always based on its respective manga.

hey which ID forum you visit?

that video is crazy can't believe driver took those 5 hairpins while staying in 4th gear for the trueno :-o

is it me or does it seem like the driver was bumping into the guard rails without losing speed?

he blew by 15 star bunta so early in the race was tits...yet again the trueno didn't lose any speed while bumping bunta from behind

wonder if the game physics from special stage(ps2) and street stage(psp) are different?


video seems like its from the acrade machine rather than a psp screen :?

awesome link :bow:

so is street stage graphics suppose to be better than the special stage?

to me special stage > street stage...also i notice the voices have been taken out during the cut scenes before the races :-o

i picked the evo III as my start car...think i'm liking it better than the trueno...much more forgiving when taking wall bumps

Evolution.VIII
09-05-2006, 11:33 AM
Not sure if anyone mentioned this since I skipped to page 5 after reading page 1.

The game has a boost feature to let the player behind catch up. Its totally annoying! Each player has to hold the brake and this mode will be disabled. Race the same person with that turned off and how well you drive will really pay off.

Man, don't be hitting the Initial D machines, they're a dying breed :knuppel2:

On a side note, Disneyland has 2 machines in great condition. Anyone have an Annual Passport?

mmm.. theres not that many great places to play in the IE.. the castle park machines were sort of messed up last time i went. tyler mall machines are in great condition but it just costs too much. $1 per play. brunswick bowling alley in moreno valley has 4 machines but i think two of them are broken now and the remaining two have something wrong with the shifters. brunswick is also a lot cheaper than other places because its .50 cents per play =D.

i drive a GDB and FC in the game

I don't like the fact that the card system is in street stage. It kinda kills the purpose of some cars. You have to get lucky to get the engine swap for the ae86. Out of the evos, the evo 4 is considered the best because you have to be lucky to get the anti-lag system for the evo 3.

ebevo
09-07-2006, 03:44 PM
i have street stage as well...the card system is utter crap...it's has always been about the pts

i have/currently drive the evo3...all you need to do is pick the right tune path...believe it was tune A...then acquire 5 upgrade cards

getting the right upgrade cards that is difficult...it's random...complete a race win or lose doesn't matter....you get 3 cards to pick...you pick one and hope it's the upgrade card :idiot2:

tip is to lose on purpose to the stage leader like takumi on akina...but you must finish the race...then the upgrade card becomes more likely to appear

well the thing is, he was black. and he prolly wouldve called the naacp and reported my ass for hate crimes. lol what made me laugh was that he, like EVERYONE else ive seen play this game, had the trueno. not saying theres anything wrong with that car ...it just seems like the 'way to go' if you want to be hardcore.

yah i couldnt believe how many people used the trueno. ive seen prolly 10different people and everyone uses it. one guy was using a sc00by ...so that i certainly appreciated.

lol and my friend has gone through so many damn different cars. hes had an evo6 tme, evo7, rx8, and i think another one ...but i honestly cant remember.

ebevo
09-20-2006, 09:50 AM
isn't the trueno the top end king in the game...read this in a game guide someone put together

if you can manage to not hit rails/walls then the trueno is a beast...catch is you ding something good luck on picking up speed

the scooby driver probably thought he was bunta himself LOL

09-20-2006, 07:02 PM
mm im not that knowledgeable about the trueno, but in version 3, many people are saying the rx-8 is the all around best car

this weeks trip to the arcade was kinda shtty. we played house of the dead 4 and just owned at it. we play both HoD and initial d...

well anyways, we start playing initial d and next thing you know ...like 6guys come up and start crowding the game. we've had 1 race. so we race again and i ask how many they wanna race, cuz we were gonna be there for at least 5more races. they say maybe 3, no more. little did we know, they meant 3 races per person. WTF. so we ended up leaving with a shtload of tokens still. effin teenagers. lol

*chris*
11-05-2006, 09:27 PM
whats everyone's suggestion for a car? ive been running the evo7 since the beginning and the last 2 times i havent had good luck. my friend with a skyline thats only have as upgraded as my evo can kick my ass. so we're thinking of starting new cars....

If you want an evo... go with the III or IV. The IIItends to drift and has one of the fastest take offs in the game. The IV is the most balanced evo. It can grip and drift. I went with the IV. If you wanna be good, ditch the evo VII. It is considered the worst of the evos. The RX-8 is known to have the fastest acceleration, but the handling is very awkward. Not to mention it has very quick recovery. Don't aim for the R34. It goes fast, but understeers like crazy. If you want a jack-of-all trades car, choose the bunta mobile. You have to use a cheat to get this car. Here is the cheat.
Unlock The GC8V(Bunta's Car) in Ver 3.
Cheat Effect
At the car selection screen press shift up 6X, shift down 2X, brake, view change The GC8V(Bunta's Car) in Ver 3

Also, if you want an analysis of all the rankings of cars, go here:

i wasnt planning on going skyline ...i hate skylines. i was kinda thinking of trying an evo3 or maybe a silvia.

Granny Shifter
11-05-2006, 10:05 PM
Yeah, I love the evo III. If you go with it, choose upgrade path A (Kyochi). It has the anti-lag system!

*chris*
11-05-2006, 10:17 PM
does path A make it look all crazy ...or is it very stock looking?

11-05-2006, 10:33 PM
its pretty stock looking: http://initiald.sega.jp/ac_ver3/english/ac_ver03/car_variation/mitsubishi_01.html

oh well ...ill still rock it. i saw the rankings. you were right about 'jack of trades'.

Granny Shifter
11-06-2006, 06:41 PM
yup, it's a good car to go with!

roy.jovero
11-11-2006, 09:51 AM
I started using Bunta's GC8 recently and noticed there aren't any upgrade paths. So does that mean the car stays the same all the time?

Granny Shifter
11-11-2006, 11:38 AM
It has upgrades, but not visual ones.

*chris*
11-12-2006, 09:07 PM
the game wouldnt take that cheat code for some reason ...so im rockin the evo3, ALS equipped. its pretty nice. O0

Good choice! Have fun with it. That's weird the cheat didn't work. Anyways, since the bunta mobile is the jack-of-all-trades, it is only average at everything at best.

*chris*
11-13-2006, 10:53 AM
yah my only guess is that 'maybe' i input it too fast or something.... oh well, ive been really pleased with the 3. much better than the 7. though the whores on usui were giving me a hella hard time until i had stage3 upgrade. i just blazed through akina, and irohozaka.

Granny Shifter
11-13-2006, 11:16 AM
yup, evo 3's are the fastest on irohazaka. Akina is actually considered the hardest course for that car.

*chris*
11-13-2006, 11:20 AM
really?! when i say i blazed through i mean blazed ...everyone took 1 try and then i was off to iro. 1 try on all those as well.

Granny Shifter
11-13-2006, 11:26 AM
Oh, i mean when you go against other people. If someone sees you have an evo 3 and chooses akina, they are trying to cheat you.

whats the boost off/on thing? why would you want to turn the boost off?

Granny Shifter
11-13-2006, 11:49 AM
When you go against people, you usually turn boost off. Boost is an advantage given to the car behind. It moves faster to catch up to the leader. To turn off boost, both people have to press the brake and hold it while the map is loading.

*chris*
11-13-2006, 01:02 PM
ohhhhh i thought it was like turning off the turbo. so its like 'catch up' in the NFS games?

anyone have the soundtrack?

*chris*
11-19-2006, 08:15 PM
i cant beat aki on shomaru. and then the last mtn ...tsuchiya or whatever the hell it is. those rx7s are just fast as fk. i did however manage to beat bunta on irohazaka. lol amazingly enough....

Granny Shifter
11-19-2006, 09:50 PM
Shomaru requires no braking on most of the corners. I hate that sharp one though. You just have to practice it. Tsuchisaka is very difficult with the evo 3. The rx-7's have quick recovery times from mistakes. The rx-8 clocked the fastest downhill for it. Keep on practicing :).

*chris*
11-20-2006, 07:26 AM
yah i dont usually brake on shomaru ...its just fkn rediculous cuz theres almost no room to pass and if he gets in front, its basically game over.

yah i beat the first chick, then took on ry ...and just got smoked the first half of the race and then finally starting catching up to him. but too little too late. :P

Granny Shifter
11-20-2006, 11:53 AM
Yeah, you have to be in front the whole race. I think it is rediculously hard.

12-03-2006, 01:27 PM
oh man i got so pissed yesterday. we played the game and i had started a new rx7. i had my evo3 and rx7 in my pocket and somewhere along the line after we left the arcade. they fell out. so we ended up going back ...we were just in a initial d mood i guess.

anyways, started the rx7 again and just frickin blew through most of the 'legends' mode. i was just in a zone. lol meanwhile my friend spent the whole time trying to beat the last few guys on tsuchisaka with his skyline. he finally did but then just go fkn annhilated when he took on bunta's subie. LOL like 600m behind bunta!

Granny Shifter
12-04-2006, 11:03 PM
That crazy bunta, lol. So hard...

*chris*
12-05-2006, 11:15 AM
oh it was hilarious, he kept up with him for the first section of the race. and then it was over after that. by checkpoint2, he was down 200m and i kept pointing at the screen going, 'whats happening?!' then by checkpoint3, 600m. LOL

Granny Shifter
12-05-2006, 11:35 AM
Where are you located? We have to play sometime. It's been a while and I wanna get back into it. My first time, I got up to 1000m away from Bunta. Funny thing is everyone was watching me get pissed over the machine.

*chris*
12-05-2006, 12:16 PM
nowhere near you currently ...hopefully ill be back in cali soon though. i hate this cold weather!

first time i played bunta, i think was akagi and i got handed by 250m. lol then i played him at irohazaka and beat him. not by much though, i think 50m.
