and !mma_N00B, to ease up on the car line-up, the cars can be found here on this FB album. Once I get the console back for the last few days, I'll update the list of other required ones:

YES; We're gonna do that too BUT...

Hmm...

How to sell Bana Passport duplica- (for unwanted dupe discussion for potential new series that doesn't even have an international cab yet)

We'll see how it goes. I did wish that the 86 was out on DX instead of 4 tho... :/

Oh, wait... there's the complicated present card system... but that form of business can only be done on-site; not on international-shipping-like standards.

So that means until things are there with more options for us international players; we're partially screwed at the moment, huh?

Ah well...

only for Tsubasa's case; Kujira's and the rest's are 3DX/+ copy/dupe pote-

Haha...figures. xD

Anyway...here's Kuroi's request for SSS Tsubasa's magazine shot from Kazuhiko's amazing photography on his magazine (forgot the name). xD



I'd do the background shots...expect dawn scenery with lots and lots of birds and white feathers~~

Oh, and I'd leave Gunma to decide on what the headlines and featured article titles be for this issue magazine if it ever gets published after 1 year of Hachioji's progress.

I'd explain what will be changed throughout Tsubasa once his cycle of SSS is finally complete once the Hachioji story came to a full conclusion after his final race between two of his strongest rival and Jintei himself in a 4 way battle on the Wangan Line later.

BTW: I think Tomogashi is one year older than Tsubasa; right?

Here Tsubasa will be 22 years old since he's currently 21.

!mma_N00B, YOU NEED A NEW REPLAY SET NAO!
Seiji Evo IX
Kujira BNR32
Tsubasa AE86 S. Shigeno ed.
Jintei Calsonic GT-R

*condition; extremely close battle. Side-by-side if possible* XD


[ Post merged on Jan 19 2012, 05:51 AM ]
and Tsubasa looks...

BADASS!

Haha...I think Jintei's gonna be blown completely into bits since the Dead Zone might blew him off before Tsubasa even killed him off completely... xDD

The last battle is gonna be the most shocking one from Tsubasa's development since from this point; his SSS is already 99.95% complete. Seiji will also improve dramatically since he's already got everything he learned from Chiaki.

ALSO; Chiaki will tune Seiji's EVO on some parts to make it fit Seiji's personality; simply to replicate the similar feeling of Tsubasa's "Ghost" feel.

This is a good chance for Seiji to fully understand what it really means to drive a machine strong enough for it to act with a will; the DRIVER's Will.

Noted.

Currently practicing drag tuning... I'm definitely gonna rock out Seiji's Evo right after I get the hang of it with my Z32

YAY! Rin, you finally done it!!!

Tsubasa looks spot on from my description!! You really made him stand out as a totally different person after a 1 year time-skip.

Anyway; on answering your question about Tomo's age...I think Tsubasa and Tomogashi is the same age...

Remember; everything on original SL is AFTER Akiyama Chronicles and Tsuchiya Chronicles...so chances are; they're one at the SAME!

Correct me if I am wrong though, Gunma...

Here's the timeline of the series:

Oh...really?

Come to think of it...I did notice that Tomogashi said he was 22 years old back at the prologue video...so...perhaps so. :S

Anyway...the full SSS cycle of Tsubasa will change him into this type of individual:

Embodiment of the SSS: Carrying the SSS symbol with him; he will continue to remind himself that the Self-Speed-Society is a phenomenon that has endless cycles and is infinitely vast, believing that throughout his life as a racer; his SSS phenomenon will not end simply by racing 3 of the greatest rivals he met on the Wangan. He will continue on to charge forward; forever more so than before with his Ghost 86.

Hoping someday someone else could also come to understand the concept of SSS like Seiji, Kujira and himself did along with Raymond, M.C and Naoko as well as Ryugu and Shino; he wishes to convey his experience to anyone he deems worthy and wanted to continue racing faster and faster; not yearning for the result of losing or winning. Just like how Chiaki shared her experience throughout her life; he wished to do the same; even if it means using different methods to do so.

Stand Alone Individual: After racing with all 3 tremendous racers; he wished to cast off everyone's link momentarily and delve deep into the meaning of what it really means to be fast and "one with machine" as well as the definition of "one with speed"...which requires more than just technical intelligence to do so.

Not wanting to burden his friends' lives with his goals; he denied every assistance from all those who have once helped him; believing that if others could do it; so can he if he try to learn slowly by himself while using his friends' guide intelligence from his memory when they tune his AE86 for the battle against Jintei, Kujira and Seiji.

Of course; that doesn't mean he will cut off relationships with everyone he knows; for he believed that there are always something that can be achieved without any sacrifices at all. And he is currently doing that; where he WILL ask for friends' advices still on certain parts that he finds questionable in regarding of his own driving or how much he understands the machine that has his "Ghost".

Gathering intelligence and wisdom alone through experience; he stands off as a lone mysterious figure that appear only on certain highway roads while looking for opponents that might have something new that he can learn.

Of Man and Machine: "If machines were made and forced to the point of having similar feelings of human himself; then who are to judge what is really being alive?"

One of the question that is currently stuck on Tsubasa's head after he realized that his "Ghost" 86 has fully manifested into himself; making a somewhat perfect double of his "machine" self everytime when he drives his car; the minds between himself and the car's engine were beautifully synchronized.

For this is not something that science or psychics or even mathematics can explain; Tsubasa continued to race and continued to learn more on how a machine act upon a human's natural instinct other than psychical contact with it.

Long has he since cared less for supremacy; only yearning to go further and further into understanding the concept between the relation of a car and the driver; Tsubasa has been conducting countless tests on his AE86's settings to suit his current mood and emotion and see how much it relates to his machine in comparison with his own human emotion.

Of course; a part of him continued to tell him that machines are still machines no matter how much relationship or link they have with the driver himself; yet his mind spoke otherwise, urging him to keep experiencing different changes; believing that something new could be born from the car itself as he continues to seek the answer to this one question.

and Rin, Kazuhiko's Journalism company is:

JTTed: Japan Tuning Tokyo Edition.

Seiji works at the same Company only he covers Kanagawa, thus JTKed. That's his Weekday Job. During weekends (casually), he's a casual test driver for various tuning shops and gets paid for it (Raymond's is an exception due to gratitude for details in Akiyama Chronicles)

Oh, and !mma_N00B,

just to note on my tuning characteristics:
"best of both worlds"
^ Able to withstand high speeds and full control PLUS superb cornering capabilities... In WM terms: BlackBird tuning.

Ah....I see...

Then again; I wonder what will the headlines and highlights be for SSS Tsubasa's magazine issue?

I bet Kazuhiko's gonna make some incredible one-line quote about him; just like the interview session on Episode 2: "The Gods of the Wangan"...

And will probably mention a bit of what I mentioned on the "changes" that has occured to Tsubasa.

Hmmm... gonna get a circuit suspension setup for that.

I give up on this drag tuning business for now; I got a really good tranny setup then I ruined it out of experimentation -.-'

This post has been edited by +-!mma_N00B-+ on Jan 19 2012, 06:33 AM

Please tell me you backed up your tunings on Sets B and C before messing with them? T.T if not, then unless you have good memory of your tuning... it'll be hard to redo them, eh?

I was just practicing on my Z32 before I'll get my hands on Seiji's Evo so yeah.

I'd scrap that anyway, I'll tune Seiji's Evo and take most of my drag tuning time there. Though I got priorities; have to make a review for a certain Lamborghini tune off at GTP and stuff.

sigh... if only I had more time today >.>

Anyway; progress on Day 2 Script: 40%

Also; do tell me how you like the effects SSS had on Tsubasa, Gunma.

And tell me what you'd like to suggest for the SSS cycle that made Seiji into what he is on the future.

There'll be no better way to ask for the change of your character than asking you since you're the original creator.

Reading the description of SSS Tsubasa...

I wonder; will he ever get to meet Tomogashi...at all...both of them are completely opposites of a racers' portrayal and even their character are almost completely different...

Speaking of GTP, any updates on the Akiyama Chronicles thread there?

@Rin,

I was speechless on the impact it had on Tsubasa... and you're able to recreate Seiji on SL-V. Oh... if that wasn't your intention; do have his final persona resemble on SL-V. Though on the series his pure personal is vague (acts like his past self in a more calm manner when with M.C.; jokes around with Kazuhiko as 2 examples...) our planning & development would truly make Seiji's pure persona shine.

and I was thinking of having this OST for the final battle. It spells epicness:

Not in the mood today because of Nazi-ran parents listening to news all the time while I'm playing GT5.

Oi Gunma, can you give the year of each story arc?

Manly tears have been shed...the BGM is just beautiful...oh, and if I may suggest, have everyone else to follow these 4 into spectating!

(except Takumi...since I've a feeling he wouldn't even care anymore after Seiji left him and at some point Tsubasa dusted him and made him eat his words; or worse; Kujira's Dead Zone "killed" him...)

The spectators:

M.C in her RX-8
Naoko in her MR2
Raymond in his Demo car R35
Ryugu in her JZA70
Chizuru in her XJ220
Mion and Rei in Mion's HI ACE!! XD
Chiaki in her CTR2
and finally...

from afar;

Oniko's Sprinter Trueno AE86 Coupe!

That will be a memorable battle...

Kuroi... YOU WON 12000 INTERNETZ WITH THAT REQUEST. I APPROVE!

Takumi doesn't die... he just ragequits after some time when Seiji can't take it anymore and loses badly to Midnight Cinderella on an ambush race he instigated *spoiler! XD*


[ Post merged on Jan 19 2012, 07:03 AM ]
for the record:

Emiya (name of soundtrack) a.k.a. Unlimited Blade Works' Theme is best defined for Hachioji as:

SH*T JUST GOT REAL!

Still...Takumi's too much on an annoying asshole...I really feel like killing him off. xD

But I won't do that since killing someone off like that sounded a bit...tasteless. LOL

So his final victim is Midnight Cinderella...haha...knowing this; I don't think he'd stand a chance when he raced Tsubasa EVEN after Day 2's repair events afterwards...let alone Seiji, Kujira or M.C on that matter...

and I have my doubts...how the hell does a freaking HIACE follow those 4 cars!?? D:

Mion's really gonna have a hard time driving that thing at high speed just to keep up with other spectators; let alone the racers...

This post has been edited by Rin on Jan 19 2012, 07:05 AM

not only that. Seeing as a full tuned Turbocharged RX8 can easily maintain 330 km/k compared to an Evo which is a class higher.

and NO MAKE MION A STAGE 27 GATCHAN!

Haha...and to think that replay of yours shows Tsubasa managed to stick glued to Jintei...

Just imagine the humiliation Takumi's gonna suffer at that point if it were HIM instead of Jintei...

Sadly; Mion doesn't have a car yet... D: But where will she get a car to drive if her home's HiACE doesn't cut it!?

oh, I didn't add this info yet about Takumi...

He loves to make false accusations and fake stories.

Example (par to RL Takumi)
He says Midnight Cinderella is a well respected Wangan Racer who loves to push her opponent hard and talks a lot and dominates Yokohane most of all.

Pfft... the True M.C. in TXR zero & 3 races at Wangan Line & on my story races from Wangan to C1 & New Belt line / Shinkanjyo.

All I could say was:
