All that's left to type is Tomo's description.

I had to read Akiyama Chronicles Epilogue all over again to reunderstand Keisuke's character. Rin, I highly suggest reading it. It's not that long. Just 7 short parts full of emotion. You'll get a good grasp of Keisuke's character here:

Note: Keisuke Mamoru = Kogure Seishiro. The story will explain why the change in names.

And finally the profiles is done. 10 pages... or 9 I think.


http://www.4shared.com/file/VA9uqY8t/Supid...eroes_prof.html

Thanks for the profiles.

Now I have to make use of these characters' overall descriptions to see the difference in myself.

Personally...I think I am slowly starting to understand what's so different between Tsubasa and Tomo, as Kuroi keep saying that Tsubasa and Tomo are total opposites in many aspects.

Now if only I can share my short profile in the same way you did with your characters... (not the character sheet type)

I may do it if you're curious enough. xD (Or you might have already know it since you understand why is Tsubasa so different more compared to Kuroi since you both have discussed it before on MSN, no?)

Oh...and speaking of which...I wonder how should I start with Chizuru's encounters...?

And how will 13 Devils make their debut...? (and considering whether Jacknife and Dejected Angel will ever make it as cameo or not...)

This post has been edited by Rin on Jan 26 2012, 04:28 AM

Jacknife and Dejected Angel, as discussed before and forementioned on the OVA, appear when the V-series is over; Hachioji is long done by this time. Their planned conquest at the OVA was more like a take-2 or retry; it'll be an eyesore though to feature them again.

Jintei and 2 others are more than enough to give people the idea of a TXR cameo. I don't want to bombard the cast with the full 13Devils group; we have to keep it at a minimum; as they just special guest appearances, and not definite cast members.

If you need the game replay, Rin, I can upload it and send the link to you so you could plan out how the replay goes. Note, there's a Z06 C6 that was with us during the race but you might get an idea at the end of the replay. It's length is 6 minutes, and that's just 1 lap of Special Stage Route X.

You could post Tsubasa's personality backstory if you may do so yourself.

and !mma_N00B, how is the photoshoot going along?

Meh, school's bothering me. I'd get to it when I have the free time.

Ah...alright then.

Say...Jintei is a must...since him being a leader and all...but as for other 2...I wonder...Midnight Rose and one more...but I wonder who should it be...? *thinks badly...LOL*

Anyway, do share your video...as I'd like to see everything for myself and see how things goes.

And I'd do Tsubasa's personality backstory then.

Gimme a few minutes.

Probably Jintei... and... here are other choices (from the entire list of TXR's original 13 Devils):

Dying Star (Z16A GTO Twinturbo)
Sitar Kaneyama (Soarer SC430)
Steal Heart (JZA80 Supra)
Dreamy Ghost / Dream Fiend (NA2 NSX)
Shadow Eyes (JZA70)
Midnight Rose (Z16A GTO Twinturbo) <- She's originally part of the 12 Zodiacs
Hard Weapon (JZX100 Chaser - x040 TRD Variand would fit well)
Tailgunner (FC3S rx-7)
Fallen Blade (Nissan Celsior; but it isn't on GT5; maybe the updated G35 sedan could replace it unless someone knows of any Nissan V6 sedan that the game has)
Jacknife (S13 / Sileighty) <- can't choose as he debuts on the OVA
Dejected Angel (S15) <- can't choose as she debuts on the OVA
Bloodhound (Aristo V300)
True Slide (GCZ32 Fairlady Z)

I'll ask a question. Why is Chiaki's car a CTR2, instead of an RWB-style BTR?

I'm asking because I was able to make one. Black with Type B GT wing. BBS RE-MG. Modded with removable mods only; can reach 340 km/h.

This post has been edited by +-!mma_N00B-+ on Jan 26 2012, 05:40 AM

reasons:
1. Balancing Purposes. A stock CTR2 is well enough to be considered a monster in itself. The BTR can still be beaten in its stock form. Even when modded, there's just a small change in the performance (other than it can maintain 350++ km/h)
2. The CTR2 is easier to control and if ever we are to record the races live or make a replay of it, the CTR2 would allow us to do it with the least amount of retakes. Unless we use soft tires; the BTR would be an unstable little brat that loves to oversteer even at the slowest of corners (It's like the CTR Yellowbird minus the overwhelming turbine and endless turbo lag / excessive spooling & wheelspin)
3. The CTR2 has a more balance power-weight ratio where weight balance > weight reduction.
4. People will mistake it for another BlackBird pun with the GT wing equipped.
5. CTR2s are rare online. a BTR/CTR yellowbird is the most unstable yet whored RUF online.
6. We could've gone for the 996 RGT but the drivetrain may give us some problems or so and it was Rin's choice to choose the 993 CTR2.

This post has been edited by Gunma's 34 on Jan 26 2012, 05:43 AM

With a good setup, you wouldn't have problems with the RGT. I have this friend who also tunes stuff and I've heard that his RGT doesn't even slide like mad. But if it's Rin's choice, then so be it.

what's the overall power of the RGT when fully tuned? I haven't checked it out yet. Just the CTR Yellowbird (713hp), BTR (664hp), and CTR2 (653hp)

Here's Tsubasa's personality backstory~

Tsubasa Aramaki

Debut: Tsuchiya Chronicles Hachioji Day 1
Personality/Motivation:

Before SSS took place (During Seiji's encounter): Tsubasa Aramaki was a very skilled driver that once dominated the entire Kanagawa Mountain Pass area (Nagao and Tsubaki Line), experiencing countless skill development as he races countless racers that were obsessed with being number one at mountain races; whether they're racing for fun or for greater heights.

Racing against even professionals (Such as the unintroduced pro-racer; Asuka Minamoto), his perception towards street racing and mountain racing changed dramatically; from just driving fast to the point of driving without shackled by any doubts of losing or self-pressure (Thinking that somehow he's racing a losing a battle...and wanting to give up)

One of the greatest motivation of him racing during this timeline before he's active at Wangan and Shutoku Area; he always race with all his willpower, regardless of how tough his opponents may be, because his induction of Impreza complex thanks to her sister Shino Aramaki made him realize that unless he give his all and keep himself on greatest condition of racing mood; then no matter how tuned a car is; they won't run as they could without a strong driver using it.

He had never truly cared about winning or losing; only wished to unleash all of his potential in someday hoping that he can breakthrough one boundary after another in surpassing his AE86's limits as he drove harder and sharpen his skills every night whenever he got a chance to do so after his working hours.

His motivation remained clear to him: Which is to keep driving further and further until he broke one of his limits that shackled him or his machine on the Ghost 86, and through this breakthrough; he will learn something new within at understanding of his machine as well as his own sense of driving. He wished to keep using his AE86 and break through every limits that the people keep mentioning; someday to share his experience as to how he managed to go faster using such an old model and remained under top driving condition without any other dooubts and negative feelings hindering him.

Through his driving career remained undefeated; he found one driver that piqued his interest after the Dead Zone R32 driver made his debut on the Tsubaki Line and they both battled it out time after time and was amazed that Kujira Kuroyama, the Dead Zone R Driver; managed to end his winning streak at last after winning over 50 battles undefeated.

Kujira stated that driving an AE86 wouldn't bring him much bright future; yet his resolve remained clear and unwavered; for Kujira's opinion might change as well; after he learn that the Ghost 86 will never give up on its opponent cars once he set his sights on it. And from that point forth; just about anywhere they encountered each other; they will at least race one time before talk casually like normal friends for Tsubasa knew that Kujira was never truly a person that has asocial values, despite those rumors of him being a cursed man that bring doom to his opponents.

Miraculously; Tsubasa seemed to be the only person unaffected by Kujira's Dead Zone curse; probably due to his strong willpower and the ability of never being outrun by Kujira before (which leads to disaster of the opponents' cars if they lost), and this has given Tsubasa another reason to get motivated even more to break through Kujira's Dead Zone area, and someday defeat him and break through one more of the boundaries that lie before him.

After SSS started (Seiji's encounter): Tsubasa realized that running on highway is completely different than mountain passes for there are little to no sharp corners at all and a car with less power output like his Ghost 86 will surely be disadvantageous. And he knew that he does not stand a chance against Seiji's overwhelming power of his Lancer Evolution as well as his totally different driving skill compared to other 4WD drivers other than her own sister and Kujira.

This however; does not cripple Tsubasa's resolve one bit as he has a very clear idea of what he should do to shorten the gap between him and Seiji, and also realizing that it's been too long since he last repaired his own car while pushing it so hard all the time with his own willpower alone.

He quickly realize that in order to go faster; he will surely have to change a bit of his own car without being too obsessed with the mountain settings that has given him the confidence to remain undefeated on the mountains, for his stage right now is on highway roads, the Shutoku Area and Wangan.

With this; he continued to race with all his might in hopes of learning something new eventually once his Ghost 86 is revived once more by the hands of Raymond and Chiaki.

Not being shackled by other drivers' desire and goals; he only wished to fuffill his own by driving as fast as he could and keep going forward; regardless of what might happen to him in the future once he race Seiji and Kujira as many times as he could; for he realize that racing those 2 as well as other racers, he can learn countless things of himself and his machine's limits as well as its "feelings", much like an endless process of his own "self-awakening".

After SSS Completed (his final race with Kujira, Seiji and Jintei): After his final race on the stage of the entire Metropolitan Tokyo Area, his driving perception has finally been made clear to how he should race and he's no longer bound by any other minor doubts that once troubled him from time to time. His motivation remained unchanged and it's still crystal clear in his head; and that is to keep pushing forward and keep driving endlessly on the road and experience countless changes within himself and his machine's behavior.

Hoping to truly experience what being "forever faster" really means and how "human" exactly a machine that has now manifisted a perfect double image of himself driving it far beyond the car's limits, he continued on to search for more opponents and experience new world horizons at the infinitely vast universe of Racing realm under the Road of No Return.

He has now become a very philosophical figure; thanks to Chiaki and Oniko's influence on him during his lifetime on the Hachioji Days, viewing his racing life and appreciation of racing in a very scientific yet somewhat haunting manner as to how much of a "machine" he himself might have become for he has already understand his AE86 as much as to act like a machine himself at some part...creating some sort of incomprehensible level of synchronization between man and machine.

Remained unshackled by the desires of winning and losing; he only choose to drive further and keep going on experiencing new people and appreciating new ways of driving a car. Throughout his entire life of a year during his Hachioji Days, has he never forgotten anyone that taught him many things about life and of appreciating race and his own machines as well as his rivals' skills and strength...showing his utmost respect towards Seiji and Kujira as well as his other cherished friends that has been with him all these times supporting him.

Overall being: Tsubasa Aramaki seems to be a very opposite of Tomogashi Kitsumoro in terms of personality. Unlike Tomogashi whom sometimes has trouble in what he wants or lack confidence in his own doubts; Tsubasa has complete trust in his own powers and will and has a very clear idea of what he desired. Not being held back by any people mocking him of his choice of car or his goals using such a machine; he just wished to go faster and faster; surpassing anyone that he thinks he could and will do everything in his willpower alone to try and catch those that he has yet to do so.

Tsubasa also hold something similar to Tomogashi; for he too will never leave anything unfinished and he will make sure one thing is finished before another comes in his mind. And when he came face to face with obstacles; he will think fast and react quickly to either avoid or break through that obstacle; depending on how hard it might be. Tsubasa never let his negative thoughts get the better of him and will continued to be both optimistic and confident in his decisions.

Tsubasa has a very rational mindset and will usually decide fast on what he consider as better for everyone without upsetting the other party in a conflict. And if anything bad happens, he will take full responsibility of what might involve him alone, hence making him a very thoughtful individual, but his impulsive and often too-fast thinking could sometimes spark worries on his beloved friends whom cherished him just as much as a loving family member, especially his school female friends.

Tsubasa also has his own issue of emotion stability; but compared to Tomo who often lost himself more often; Tsubasa keep everything on his actions and emotions in check and never resort to violence unless it's completely necessary. Tsubasa never felt that he hated anyone for shunning his friends off sometimes; despite them caring for him; but one thing for sure is that Tsubasa loved everyone that cherished him as a friend; and the best way to thank them would be not allowing them to get involved in some of his own bad situations and wanting to sort them out by himself; seeing as he never liked the trait of using his friends for convinience under his own personal problems.

Lastly; he appreciates every cherished memories and little things that were given to him by others; just like his lucky blue star charm that was shared by his childhood friend; Chiaki and the fond memories of being with Oniko as well as the cherished school life moments with Rei, Ryugu and Mion. He also strongly respects everyone that has defeated him countless times; for every opponent he raced and lost to; he always feel content and satisfied for he had already given his all and still lost; giving him a refreshed feel and new experience on every battle.

For 13 Devils...

I think I'd take Midnight Rose and Bloodhound then....is that alright with you?

This post has been edited by Rin on Jan 26 2012, 05:57 AM

Let's inquire with !mma_N00B if his peers have the said cars (Red Z16A and Yellow Aristo V300)

As for Tsubasa & Tomo... there was a race that came into my mind with the fitting soundtrack if ever they'd meet. I'll leave it as a special video for the DVD disc for those who purchase cards from me:

Tsubasa's encounter with Tomogashi (who chases Keisuke's shadow / a black R35 Proto) at SSR7.

Soundtrack: Taillight

*having read Akiyama Chronicles Epilogue again; I feel that Tomo's attachment to Keisuke is so deep that despite the lack of lost memories he had of them together as a 'family', he yearns to retrace his steps and know Keisuke more without the shadows he is concealed in before. This is why I used the OST Taillight. If there would be an analogy in comparison to other characters in my series:

Tomogashi & Keisuke = Adrianna & Marcelo

(only difference is Keisuke's alive but is better of thought as dead and forgotten by Tomo, who wished for the opposite)

That track was just downright emotional...I wonder what type of massive impact it will bring upon SSS Tsubasa and Tomogashi's meeting? (ish somewhat touched at the impact that might happen...)

I also wonder if Tsubasa could ever learn something new from such an individual as Tomo himself...

and what were the things you discovered about Tomo, Keisuke, Seiji & Daiki on the word file I gave you?


[ Post merged on Jan 26 2012, 06:33 AM ]
and thinking of what Tomo would say if they had an encounter, these are a few things I picked up and just thought of now:

SPOILER

tsubasa vs Tomogashi learning: "when will you know that there aren't any more barriers for you to overcome?" "When will you say that you've reached the end?" "What would happen if you already experienced 'all' those changes?" "Have you once thought of other people other than yourself, as to how they'd react and feel in the future without you?" "Remember this, Tsubasa. Don't take everything on your own shoulders. Remember that there are people willing to share the load with you; you don't have to shun them off if they want to be involved. I learned that the hard way. Best you do the same. I now do what they did to me and I can understand why. Should you encounter this realization; remember who shared to you these words." "Be in control with what you are aiming for. Lose hold of it and your goal would give birth to greed. Take note that there will be a part in your journey where you'd have to say that you need to be satisfied. You will become like 'the rest of the world' if you've passed this point and aimed higher; higher in the sense that it's totally beyond your control." all said by Tomo.

I discovered that:

Tomogashi: He is very resolved in his own decisions; not caring of what others think of him; and also had very positive thinking; much like Tsubasa. Sure he has doubts and his own emotional issues; but he has his friends with him all the time. When he's stuck; he always got his friends there to help him, much on contrast with Tsubasa; but of course...even Tsubasa needs guidance sometimes...though seldom.

Tomogashi also has a very content heart of himself; he always feel satisfied with every little things without wanting to aim for more, same goes for his R34.

Seiji: Once an arrogant guy that cared only of being number one and his fame; right after Daiki Akiyama's Chronicles story he slowly form into a whole new man for the better and choose to accept and appreciate driving in another way;

And though not spiritually inclined; he recognize the skills of his rivals when he see one worthy enough.

His motivation was in shades of doubts as he realize Daiki's growing much more; yet in the end he will come to realize that all he need is the correct mindset and motivation to keep driving him and his car further and further, much like how Tsubasa cared less about others' progress and only resolved in strengthening himself and continued on his path without any doubts.

And finally he was the enigmatic figure that he is on the original SL series; where his appreciation of race came to a completely different way incomprehensible to common people and that only he knows best. He has grown to eventually appreciate driving the way he has been for all the years and will continue in doing so for the future.

Keisuke: While taking a different name; he remained wanting to be the guide of Tomogashi throughout his life on growing as both a person and as a race (despite Tomo not realizing who Keisuke REALLY is.), as he continued to lay low on his own appearance among the racing world, despite the fact that he could really be a huge name with an unexpectedly huge future awaiting himself.

A very philosophical figure that understands a lot in a human's life experience; much like Chiaki and Tsubasa in general, someone that has went through many hardships to become who he is right now, yet there is always seem to have something far more important than just being a big-name racer; Keisuke continued to lay low and did many things that will guide Tomo in the future life.

Daiki: Fast thinking, serious and strict...very similar to Tsubasa in general personality. He in fact shared a lot of similarities with Tsubasa...not wanting to burden his problems to those he cares for; he took all his personal problems by himself (just like the part where he lost Chloe), and he now seemed to have a clear mind of what he wished for; in carrying his "awakening" as the Prince.

And his motivation of wanting to defeat Tomogashi is very much similar to Tsubasa towards his future opponents; except the fame gaining part, which Tsubasa has long since abandoned.

I do hope my insights are not too short... xD


[ Post merged on Jan 26 2012, 06:39 AM ]
*read the spoiler*

Wow...now that's something Tsubasa can definitely learn from...and considering how much Tsubasa is already changed up to this point being a serious and super-fast thinker; like a machine, I am sure Tsubasa will realize that there will be a dead end eventually on his path after crossing infinite boundaries.

those were well learned things that you got from my heroes, Rin. and I also got some good insights about Tsubasa as well; call it a win-win scenario for us as storywriters. XD

But in all honesty, The 4 heroes of Supido no Densetsu are, in actuality, the 4 parts that, when combined together, you have... me. The person; not the writer.

And yeah; as expected for Tsubasa to learn. But don't spoil this one not until the very end. I'd want to put a what-if cliffhanger by the time we finish Hachioji: Tsuchiya Chronicles. Although I already have the ending in mind - which would definitely and literally lead to Speed Legend V. Remember the prologue of SL V where Tomo sees an Evo parring to his pace? That's how I like it to end (where Hachioji & the V-series are connected)

And I guess I'd say Tsubasa is an ideal persona of who I'd want to be. xD

Since Kuroi did mentioned that I am somewhat of a fast thinker myself.

And I won't...seeing as I couldn't even touch Tomo from here now. xD

And yeah...that might be a perfect end to Hachioji; connecting the V-series nicely.

Anyway, I think I am going to call it a day today...seeing as my airtime's gone again within 3 minutes... *facepalm*

I really wanna see if I could at least stay longer and do my starting writing on Day 3 after watching your video of Chizuru vs Raymond. xD

I might start on tomorrow.

Say what?! I even hellaflushed it, bro.

And this C-SEIJI guy had a red Z16A fully tuned too, without a GT wing though and I think it's the USDM 3000GT...

About the RGT... It probably has like 570 HP or something.

for Rin, here's the video of Chizuru VS Raymond (feat. Z06 driver who got a suspension problem in the end, LOL)

And !mma_N00B, I think that is the GTO we need.

SPOILER

This bro?

Eeyup. That GTO.

The Same GTO for the Osaka Endurance race photoset only white with a GT straight wing.

JUST and update of archived GT5 Videos I have with me; Maybe while Hachioji isn't released yet (as we're still on development) I could add them to the Special DVD content (when someone buys a Maxi card from my/our catalogue) as special teasers with MT4 music featured. Here's what I have so far:

1. Akiyama Chronicles vid: Shimizu & Daiki cruising at Wangan (battle @ SSR7 - R390 GT1)
2. Chiaki Porsche 911 Turbo VS Katerina Ferrari 599 Fioranno (SSR7)
3. Chiaki's Wangan battle (SSR7, result, 2nd)
4. Chizuru XJ220 vs Raymond MCR Demo car (@ SSR X)
5. Daiki 350Z Z-tune high speed cruise (SSR7 @ 2nd place)
6. GT5 2.0 intro video
7. Hachioji ED cruise - Seiji's view (SSR X w/ Kujira & Tsubasa)
8. Hachioji ED cruise - Tsubasa's view (SSR X w/ Kujira & Seiji)
9. Shino Aramaki Impreza drift-race (Mt. Aso custom track)
10. Tsubasa Aramaki 86 drift-race (Mt. Aso custom track)
11. Tomogashi Kitsumoro R34 Supercar cruise (Toscana change time custom track VS CIEN, Speed 12, McLaren & Veyron)
12. Hachioji ED Girls version - M.C. Katerina NA2 & Chiaki 911 (SSR X)

all are layouted as 720 x 576 resolution and will be edited with final product for .wmv format (most compact with no quality diminished)

How about Chizuru, Shino and Naoko, Hachioji ED Girls part deux?

our Chizuru was very laggy so I didn't record it sadly. It was like Chizuru's XJ220 was riding a vibrator. O.o

Day 1 complete. Gunma, you may have to cut out our slight mistakes and also make a few adjustments to the script.

I wonder if you make the race scripts after the races; there will be no hassle at all if I do the races first.

I think that'll be easy I can do the scripts after; besides that'll be the cover up for any mistakes. when I see a mistake, I'll overlay it with the in-car shot + script/monologue or dialogue. and wait... Day 1 com- what? SO you reviewed the script and did the replays over with the GTPlanet guys? Sweet. Hope you saved the replay. DId you base it off the script; most especially the attack points?
