Hey, Leandro.....
Post by ED-209 Automated Police Unit on May 23rd, 2003, 10:19pm

First off, I apologize for putting this in the wrong area, but I don't know if Leo reads the non-MV sections.
Leo,
In honor of your bad-ass times, I'm going to write a fan-fic about you and Jane B. Christie and put it on my fanfic message board. Is that okay?
It will be something along the lines of you two using fzero vehicles to transport the embalmed body of Joseph Stalin to some mysterious location.
If you have any ideas, let me know. I think that i might make a mini-series out of it.

Cool, daddy-o! I've got the first segment of the story written. It only talks about you a little bit. It is mainly a set up to get Stalin's corpse involved in the story.
I have altered history a little for this one, but it is fan FICTION, so that's okay.

Oh, by the way, it's called 'interview with a tosser'. I don't know what that means (i asked my brother what i should call it and that's what he said )

Click on the link below that says 3xf.suddenlaunch2.... it should take you there.

I think you should give your bro a kick in the nuts and change the title. A 'tosser' is slang for 'masturbator'.

Hey, Leandro....

I was wondering if you'd give me a little help?
I've been playing with p3 today, and was having a hard time getting WW to bump me. I noticed that if I get in front of him right off the bat and then drop my speed to about 200 that he'll bump me up to 450 or so before the turn.
Is this what you do, or do you have him bump you in the first turn?
Have you noticed which way is faster? Sometimes it seems faster to get in front then slow down, sometimes not.
Anyway, thanks in advance for the help.
P.S. I'm thinking up part III for your story, keep pumping out the AWESOME times, I'll keep pumping out the AWESOME storyline.

P.P.S. You live in Brazil? Do you live near any of the Gracie Jiu Jitsu schools?

Re: Hey, Leandro.....
Post by on May 26th, 2003, 11:54pm

got pt.3 done, also beat your time on p3! woohoo!

check pt.3 out, it's a little gory, but necessary to work up to the part of you and JBC going to work together- a la Ocean's 11. (Leandro's 11?)

hey nick, sorry i hadnt read this forum until now..

i live in the usa now..but i'm actually going to brazil next week to spend 2 months ( my baby daughter is gona be born ).. but i was born and raised in rio de janeiro and actually between 97 and 99 i practiced jiu jitsu and got a blue belt, one of the gracie academies was pretty close near mine..about a couple of miles or so, its funny u mentioned that cause i'm thinking of when i go back for good ( in about 2 years ) i'm gona get back to training..i love jiu jitsu.

anyway i saw your 1'57"18 a few minutes ago on P3 and decided to get a try and..sorry.. i lowered my time to 1'56"92 with a definate potential to go 1'56'4x..5x... my best first lap is 26"15.. my best 1 boost lap is 22"54 and my best last lap is 22"45 ( cause i slide at the very end so my time is usually better ).. gona try for 3rd overarl for the end of the week

take care

Leo

Post by on May 27th, 2003, 12:58am

i cant click in any of your links nick.. dont know why

i still dont know the best way to start a race with the WW.. i just do the boost start.. then wait till he catches up with me... i wonder if there are any better strats..maybe tonio or greg can help us out

on p3 start i watch the seconds counter..when it gets to 4 seconds i imediately shift to the right.. works almost all the time..

thanks for the help, Leo.
maybe if you cut and paste this link in your address box:

http://3xf.suddenlaunch2.com/index.cgi

that might work. I don't think I should post the fanfics on this site, it seemed to cause some hostility before! I'll find some way for you to see these Leandro Fan Fics- they're AWESOME!

Jiu Jitsu is fun! We've got a Judo club at this community college here, but I'm injured now so I can't train.
I've done some small circle Jiu Jitsu (don't know if you've heard of Wally Jay) which is a blast.

curse you for beating my time. Oh well. Good luck with your kid! (what the hell were you thinking?)
Re: Hey, Leandro.....
Post by ED-209 Automated Police Unit on May 28th, 2003, 12:19am

all right, Mr. Ribeiro, I'm gonna need a couple tips on q3 if i'm going to beat the mighty Antoine.

1st, how many boosts do you use? I used 3 to get 19"07. If I use four i tend to lose some technique.

2nd, do you skip the next to the last dash plate? That's what I've been doing.

3rd, where are you boosting at?

j'apprécierais votre aide sur n'importe laquelle de ces voies, Tiaiba
Re: Hey, Leandro.....
Post by Greg on May 28th, 2003, 04:15am

Ok Nick, i can help you (i hope )

1st: i use 2 boost: on the line and after the second dash plate just at the beginning where the road narrow. (sorry for my english )

2nd: i take all dash plate

3rd: i boost after the second dash plate where i said for the 1-lap time.

Tu parles français ou tu utilises un traduteur
Re: Hey, Leandro.....
Post by on May 28th, 2003, 08:41am

well, this is how i got my 18"91.. 1st boost before the line.. 2nd boost after the second dash plate after u make the big drift turn to the left ( before the narrow road ).and thats pretty much it xcept that after the last dash i calculate pretty good and i actually finish with a drift..but i only use 2 boost.. when i try 3 boosts i cant drift at the end, i just stay inside the track and the fastest lap i've gotten like that was a 18"96.
also, u might allready know this nick but the most important part of the track in right before the second to the last dash plate, its important to drift a lotttt and hit the dash right at the front of it.. my best 1 boost lap is 19"32 so far.. good luck

Leo
Re: Hey, Leandro.....
Post by Greg on May 28th, 2003, 11:16am

There are 2 delicate point on this race:

1) the turn with the boost
2) and the left turn between the 2 twist after the 2nd dash plate. If you arrive to take your turn with R drift so close to the wall at the left (without touch the twist) you can do a very good time. When i arrive to do this i do 19"15 easily, and a perfect lap for me is 19"09 BUT i was printed the japanese times for all race, and the 2 best time were:

2nd: 21"57 - 19"03 - 19"12 - 19"03 - 19"02 = 1'37"77
1st: (i don't hve the details of laps) = 1'37"75

best first lap: 21"48 for us (21"68 for me)
best one lap: 18"89!!!

You see, we are a poor times

Re: Hey, Leandro.....
Post by ED-209 Automated Police Unit on May 29th, 2003, 11:34am

Thanks for the help, guys. I'm concerned about two things:
One is that you both say "after the second skid plate which is before the area where the road narrows. The road narrows before the second skid plate. Anyway, I've been working on the strat, and slowly making progress. Unfortunately I hurt my pinky a little bit last night punching through this kid's car window on campus (she locked her keys in her car). It's kind of painful to play right now.
I'll do my best though, Greg.
je ne parle pas français, j'ai utilisé le traducteur d'altavista.com -I thought it would be funny to carry on a conversation in French using a translator, the miscommunications would be entertaining!

Post by ED-209 Automated Police Unit on May 29th, 2003, 5:38pm

All right guys, I got down to 19"00! I'm in a lot of pain here so that's it for the day.
I tried the methods you explained, as best I could understand, and the best 1 boost lap I could get was 19"34 but I can't do it every time (usually 19"40's).
I still don't understand what you were talking about with the boost after the 2nd dash plate but before the narrow track
Anyhow, I hope Leandro was right and you are tied for 1st now, Greg!
Re: Hey, Leandro.....
Post by Tonio on May 29th, 2003, 10:49pm

No tied this week, sorry!
seems like 18"80 is the new SR (3 boosts by the way).
Now I have to fight back for the 5-lap
yeah, I'm kind of back

btw, I can't believe the japanese webmaster didn't even maintain an access to his precious data!!
All my splits lost...

Post by Tonio on May 30th, 2003, 12:16am

thanks!!!!!!
Dave I'm sure you will create a new section for these on the mv page!

I improved my best first and best lap yesterday on Q3... (21"60/ 19"11).
The "small" difference with the jap WR splits makes me think that they didn't use any special "twist and dash" technique

and on K4 there is still room for a large improvement Greg looking at your best first/lap...

That's all right, Greg. Some relatives from Tolouse (don't know if I spelled it right) came over today and translated for me! Lucky me!
I guess the commercial is a radio commercial of someone being interviewed at an Fzero race track, and the guy is not too bright or else distracted because he is playing Fzero on his gameboy.
