Still hoping for the next part of the series! This is amazing and its frustrating how little information about game mechanics and techniques there are online for western fans. Thank you.

[@josefrers8011]

as a D2, D3 and Street stage player, i only ever knew of machine gun shifting, the understeer and wall penalty things i figured out afterwards with intuition, and i saw players online use eraser but never did know of this, this is awsome!!! Cant wait for part two, ive been dipping my toes in D5 lately and would love to know some faster techniques, Cheers!!!

[@channel6ixty]

man, eraser brings me back. in v3, it was necessary to get top times. i used to have top 5 iro dh USA in v3. my local arcade had a guy named JJ who was ranked top player in the USA. had top 5 akina time worldwide also. seeing him was like real takumi.

[@ValentineC137]

Did you happen to stumple upon any D5 tutorials in the past 3 years?

[@josefrers8011]

@@ValentineC137 nope, tried to search but came up empty handed

[@ValentineC137]

@@josefrers8011 Such a shame The only "guide" I've found so far was a Falbere comment on an early D5 fixed physics showcare video. It did atleast validate my thought that you had to brake a lot comming into corners, and informed me that it helped you get more of a speed boost

[@thekillzonedead1752]

Street stage seems to me the most challenging of all and partly the most fun, since by completing the game over and over again in the arcade mode the opponents get stronger, it is really fun to try to beat Bunta with any car once that one gets used to the technique and handling :) ID4 on the keyboard is really difficult and tiring, it takes a long time to upgrade a car to the maximum.

[@tk_rich]

Great stuff man! Tutorials like this are gonna get so much people into the scene cant wait you to cover 8

[@hafidzalfarizi4723]

That's down shifting in arcade stage was great technique. I often does that in races when opponent having high star difficulties. And steering more easy and gain more speed in corner...

[@zell189]

Can't wait for the video for Initial D : Oil Stage port for the PS3

Entertaining and Educational. Will tune for the next ones. Keep it up!

Recently I have gotten into Initial D and tried the arcade game for the first time just last weekend, I had a blast playing in store versus with a friend, but I had no idea what I was doing ;o; I hope you can continue this series!!!!

I've been waiting for this

[@kyufc3s]

Excellent video on the old school techniques of these old school Initial D titles. I was big on all the 3 versions but mostly Arcade Stage 3. Just a small detail about the "slight steer" description you made at 5:12 - 5:13. Counter steer plays an integral role in positioning your car during the corner entry before the final full turn, some are more subtle than others and is usually very short in duration (depending on car and course). You'll notice that alot of WR videos show a little counter steer play during hard braking sections of a corner; its noticeable in the "slight steer" example you gave. Players like MSM were able to get insanely fast times without TST nor eraser by utilizing this simple idea; albeit he did use weight transferring. Without the slight counter steering input, techniques like TST wouldn't be nearly as effective.

[@Cheezeton]

I've been thinking about trying the arcade games, so this helps me to get started.

[@AvexFuddle]

Excellent explanations. Thanks 👍

Nice to see a comprehensive and digestible guide on all these techniques. Hopefully my times will be slightly better now. ^^;

[@yaochenlee7260]

thank you for making this!!!

[@kuokkae]

I played a lot v3 arcade when I was younger using a cappuccino, and I never really get the eraser technique. I suck in store battle but it was always good fun seeing your opponent trying to separate the gear lever from the machine.

4:31 *Tsuchisaka flashbacks*

[@literalafro3072]

The penalty for hitting walls is so much. For the last stage for the psp variant. For higher star characters you have to take into consideration what speed your goin and how much u need in order to make a turn optimally. This and having a good sense of what your car is capable of. For the cars they all have different turning capabilities in which helps them to make a turn better. I say don't use the ae85 because it tends to snap from one side to the other especially on passes with lots of turns. But its a great game overall and I can help with anything if anyone needs help. And we can all help out each other. :)

[@literalafro3072]

The snap in the 85 might be the weight transfer he was talking about. :)

[@FriscoKazvartuez]

Thanks for the vid! Are these techniques also appliable to Initial D:The Arcade? very hard to find driving techniques for that version

[@jasonblanco3796]

I used to play these games in a ZZW30 MR-S named STOLN from GoGo205, Team Kengai and Project Nitian. Though the best I did was hitting 3rd rainbow in the US and 28 stars before I retired in v3. You missed the 5 in 4 out tech in a way. There was also the machine gun eraser tech which I developed for use in the lower performing 6 speed cars like the S15 and the Miata. Also if I remember correctly, eraser tech was downshift the upshifting back to normal not the other way around. This was to give you a slight "drift" to help turn. Also each car has an optimal shift point like the MR-S being 5.5, 5.5, 6, then 6.5

[@HoshinoShadow]

Still waiting for that day when the video on D4 and 5 drops, need to learn them techniques

[@ImaSiphy]

I have a really hard time doing TST on both Special Stage and AS3. It's so easy to break the weight transfer trying to countersteer.

[@luizfelipea.dasilva3771]

I'm playing Special Stage on PS2 and I can't beat Bunta. I'm not able to make the corners perfectly and I go straight through them, losing speed. What's the right sequence to press the buttons and do a well-done drift? I would be very grateful if someone could help me

[@ca3.]

My god didnt knew it was THIS complicated

[@damefallentenshi]

It would be nice if you also make kind of this video for WMMT

[@alwexandria]

I think you need to ask JDM99, cuz he seem to be playing WMMT

[@DestinyHang]

nice TST 擦上擦

[@BF-Gator]

how do you drift the auto AE86

[@carl6026]

How do you record the gameplay?

[@user-xg7nr5cf4z]

看了本视频，才知道为什么PSP的86比街机的86慢了5KM的原因了。果然是因为车辆改装系统的原因，少了特殊配件。

[@RickSlick500]

Still no part 2 :(

[@imalittletoxicjustalittle]

this is a old vid so i dont know f this will help anyone but dont use the analog stick if using controller use the D pad you can make minor corrections in milliseconds and is infinitely more accurate than analog stick cause like you said its hard to control the weight transfer as it takes to long to make minor adjustments and the dead zone can mess with you to

[@theraiden9631]

A Japanese yt told me that technique and the vids how to do ’gear gacha’ and that TST or CKF in Japanese. Since I play in PSP, I keep using Gear Gacha or Eraser to able change direction faster.

[@japanesegamergirl1]

is their a way to play 8 on phone??

[@BF-Gator]

how can i tell if i'm drifting or not

[@nevergonnagiveyouup1853]

part 2 when

[@CreatorDrews]

Do you know if the techniques are the same for extreme stage?

[@iskanderrg]

Extreme Stage is just a port of 2, so yeah

[@kenjamago3977]

man i hate those "card tuning" types on Street Stages it completely depends on your luck to upgrading your car to the point you're still stuck on Stage 2 tuning while facing Project.D

[@300zxturbofromteamexcite8]

same with NFS

[@alwexandria]

@@ThePonySlayer Yea, especially if you lose against Sakamoto (Cappuccino guy)

[@jeppyjep]

You have to lose the race to get the upgrade cars.

[@umarmars47]

Where's part 2??

[@kaizerprobablydoesntdoanyt180]

I play casually on AS8 but because I started after the cards went out of production I learned to play using a non upgraded car. I'd love to see a section on one of these videos for people who can't get a card about the tips and tricks you can use to still be fast using normal cars.

[@TheKrzysiek]

Sorry to say that the chances for that are very slim. I want to show how to be (somewhat) competitive, and normal spec cars are anything but that. (with exception of early versions of D0v1, which I might mention)

[@FalbereChan]

and that thing in D0v1 is really more of a bug too, since usually normal cars don't handle like that. plus it is not really competitive, its more like platinum times than really fast with that said, for ver.1-ver.3, the techniques used without card is the same as those with a full tune car. here is an arcade stage 8 no card reference video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGq3ip2bhdB8iLs
