Good evening, folks. It's Takenaka, the programmer.
"Wangan Maxi" pages have been busy with the topic of the "JAPAN CHAMPIONSHIP."
Arcade qualifying tournaments have started already, but busy Takenaka's not been able to stop by any arcade qualifying tournaments yet.
I'll definitely take a look at a nearby arcade soon.
Anyway, if you go through an arcade qualifying tournament, you'll move on to an area qualifying tournament.
The area qualifying tournament rules were just announced.
Since races will be held on the "Nagoya course," this time, I'd like to talk about some key points for fighting the Nagoya course.
(If you're "not familiar with geographic names," check out
"Nagoya Speed Ring" in Course Descriptions♪)
The first spot to come to mind is,
[1] Shinsuzaki Junction Area.
Because, in this area, the course is not a simple straight road but has crank shaped curves, the width of the road apparently looks narrow.
When Takenaka does battle, the cars are usually neck and neck around here and the order moves up and down in many cases.
The next spot is the two continuous sharp corners in
[2] Higashibetsuin Exit Area.
Depending on which line the official car is running at the entrance and exit of the corner, the line to dodge would be different.
Also, at the link between the first and the second corners, the lines cross each other. So this spot gives me the strong feeling that "something will happen."
The last spot is the corner of
[3] Meidocho Junction.
This is the toughest corner in the Nagoya Speed Ring!
It's obvious that this is the point where you gamble on yourself to win or lose by bursting in at the entrance of the corner. But this spot also has a point where it is easy to make your opponent let down their guard when you come out of the corner utilizing width because the corner is sharp but also has a wide exit.
Overall, the Nagoya Speed Ring is a high-speed course!
I guess the car setting would be tuned toward Power.
If a player can tame and control the power in his/her grip is a key point for winning or losing.
For all of you, good luck in your tournaments.
See you next time!
