yeah, but running them, they're totally different...

i still cant get into the 29's...

hmm.
have to go get my times next time i'm out.

Not too different - but IMO, OB seems a bit more difficult than IB, coz I started learning Hakone on IB. So that when you play OB, it's a bit confusing coz u found some of the turns that you tackle easily on IB is harder on OB...

Actually, u might wanna try using another "smaller" car for TAing in Hakone...
I tried SUPRA already.. And I feel that the car's body is a bit too wide..
But that's only my opinion, coz I usually drive EVO.. So I don't really know how to handle a SUPRA.

I do have smaller cars... i just cant be bothered...
lol

if anything, i'll only go with the Supra... for battle practice...

Mastering the SUPRA on Hakone should be cool..
Not much ppl attacking Hakone with a Supra..
Actually, just tried the SUPRA once in Inbound, and the result was.. 2'32"4xx, if I'm not mistaken..

I'm just not used to a SUPRA.. >,<

I think coz u've played with the SUPRA for quite a long time.. U should be able to do it ^o^ Go Go Dare !! LoL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, might wanna get some more tips on Hakone OB. Still no good at that course..

wow how can u do 2'32"xxx on Hakone with a supra! I cant even do 2'40"xxx on my s30z. I guess I need more lining practice. But wow that is quite good marbleberry. I wish I can do 2'32"xxx on Hakone. Then I can beat the top hakone time, his time is only 2'36"xxx.

Can't rmb my Hakone times.. =/

Its not easy... but thats the price I pay..
lol

gotta break your record. heh

=P

Here in Sydney (Timezone @ George St, to be specific..)

Hakone OB : 2'28"xxx by pillz
Hakone IB : 2'27"7xx (if i'm correct..) by MARK! -> DoriKid in this forum, if I'm not mistaken..

My friend EVE got 2'27"9xx with an EVOLUTION VIII on Inbound..
and his OB time was 2'29"775 with an FD..

My time using S30 was 2'30"0xx.. Which should be 2'29, but I tapped the wall on the last turn, so that I couldn't get 2'29.. and I was like OMGWTF?

@Dare

LOL yeaaa I really wanna go into 29s for IB and 30s for OB >,<
that 29 before was just pure luck man.. I can't even get 29s again now man.. >,<

o kool. I am aimin at ur time now for IB marbleberry. *determined face* I am goin to try out your setup for it. What HP did you go for on your run? 760? 780?

maybe i should try more extreme car in hakone, BCNR33

I remember when i got the MR2... first time i ran it i got 31' i on IB if i'm nt mistaken...

but hated the feeling... feels so weird after driving a supra to go to the MR2...

i dont wanna TA it too much, for fear of loosing feel for my supra...

lol

gotta check up on my times though.. hvent ta'ed hakone in ages... when i wanted to practice it i'd just go battle ghosts... same difference. lol

@Dare

Yeah. But in ghost battle u can't really tell which part of the course that you're bad in.. In TAs, they could tell u by checkpoints.. >,<

@furanz

BCNR33 is not too bad in Hakone. Tried TAing OB using that car, achieved 2'33"xxx in OB.. Which is.. somewhat.. SLOW... =_="

It's not really extreme IMO, just.. The car is HUGE.. So that it's quite hard to drive.
R33s got almost the same feeling with the R34. But it's just a bit slimmer than the R34, but not really much difference.

Anyways, if you're still struggling with the course, like before, I recommend you the R32 first, then moving on to the "harder" cars. But, starting off with a "harder" car is not a bad idea as well, coz when you use the "easier" car, you won't get any troubles with that.

I started practicing Hakone IB using my R34, in where I got 2'43"xxx for my first try.

@Death_B2KSJ

Come on man, there are heaps of players that is better than me. You might wanna ask their tips for playing Hakone.. I'm still learning how to be faster on Hakone though. Still can't beat eve, mark and pillz here in sydney >,<

LOL if all you guys/gals came to my arcade, you will smash all the times and everything!!! LOL! But yer.... what is the HP u went on for the 2'29"xxx time. I really want to know please!!!

I always TA using 760. Might be the best setting for me..

mann....wanna play again XDDD
but stuck @ home doin assigns n shit XD
....n end up procrastinating @ forums XD

@marbleberry - thanks, that is what I do on Hakone as well. Sometimes 780, if I know my car can handle it. I wonder if you can get a really grippy car if you can try Hakone on 800HP though.

@pillz - you too! XD yer Im also stuck @ home doin assignments and work. But Im in uni, so I dun hav to go if I dun want to. Also wen I am doin my work, I procrastinate on here. XD

@Death_B2KSJ

Tried my R34 on OB using 800hp.. I wonder how pillz could get good times using 800hp..

Anyways, if you're running IB, these checkpoints might help you to know which part of the course that you should improve.



That car was using these settings when getting this time :
- Stock Aero
- Carbon-Fiber Hood (Original)
- Stock Wing
- Watanabe EightSpoke Rims
- Stock Mirrors

@pillz

COME ON PHIL.. Gimme some hot choc & hakone OB lessons >,<

o kool. An evo9. Not a bad setup for it either. Good work and thanks for the recommendation times.

shoot, hakone is such a monster.....i don't even want to talk about outbound and even inbound, i am merely at low 29 right now -.-

i get osaka and yokohane but hakone just seems to be out of it ;/

blah i suck at this course. T_T '38"099 lol. i still remmembered cause i hit that effing time two times in a row. >_< using FD btw. I suck. i wanna get atleast a '34.

~.~ just achived 36 on OB,and...never tried IB...
2 seconds from the current machine record holder

@marbleberry
i will man...i'll video ur run next time n i'll show u pointers

mann.....tried gc8 on this track...n its insane >.<"
precision tool this car is....

gahhh.....
burnt 10 bucks on mt =(

onli got 2.35.xxx in IB with r32
and try OB soon

Wah. So pro.. You said that all indo guys suck @ Hakone.. U'r so slow urself.. >,< can't believe that there is someone like this =_="

@pillz

LAWL.. GC8 was such a monster on Hakone.. Tried that car yesterday, could easily achieve 32s on OB with such a dirty run.. Taps and crashes everywhere... Should've got 30 if I didn't try wall-tapping...

Anyways, GC8 is MAGICAL.. My 1st try on OB using this car gave me 34'567 for my 1st CP LAWL..

I'm going to TA on OB again.. Might be this weekend.. Got no more money for playing MT for this week.. Should wait for the next payroll XD~

@Death_B2KSJ

Nope. That wasn't an EVOLUTION IX. That was an EVOLUTION VIII...
I don't really like how the EVOLUTION IX handles.. EVOLUTION VIII is better IMO.

@devilcm3
maybe next time i'll will show u that indo is good @ hakone, beating ur record

and i too will push myself to the higher level...
well anyways thanks for the very good comments..you two both...~.~

ah...lets try IB sometimes...
