In an attempt to help you maintain your privacy better, sir ... if you want to protect your full name, you really shouldn't give your first name and last initial in a message board post, and your first initial and last name in your e-mail address in your profile on that same board. People can do the "math."
This isn't meant to be negative toward you, David. If you truly have a need to protect your name, this information will help you do a better job of it. I wish you luck, and if you ever change your mind and want to join our community here, we'll welcome you with the proverbial "open arms."

Well, I know that you can see my last name in my e-mail adress obviosly. It don't cares, if the people of this board know my real name (David Riediger) -.- But I don't want it in the rankings on your page, that's the problem ^^
ok the reason is, I know some people which shouldn't see my "bad" scores on a rankings page >_> And well... I don't really like my real name, everyone in the internet (about 200 people) know me as Fox128 *lol*
But if I got better, I'll join you! Sure! ^^

Don't let some of the better times intimidate you from joining the competition(if that is the case). With time and practice, we all improve.
But, If you wish to hold off for a while, that's cool too. Feel free to take a seat, grab your favorite beverage, kick back and relax and enjoy yourself.

another thing is, that I don't know if I'm going to spend so much time with FZMV, cause I'm an SSBM player and I must get better there too

LOL! I dig your sense of humor, Nick. I'm so glad you reined it in just enough to stop getting flamed here.

Can't get this damn JV to work....

Hi,
I too struggle with this JV - how the hell do you get a proper turbo start which doesn't "overturbo" and slow you right down after a couple of seconds?
and how do you get this bump - if i manage to get in front of another ship it often just steers around me and achieves nothing. Someone help - i'm a Top 150 player determined to get in the Top 100, but i feel i need to master the JV as nothing has worked for me with that ship so far.
And Fox - don't take things so seriously! So what if some of your times suck? Its just a game.

JV gets a proper turbo start, when you press accelerator on the first "READY." However, JV has the highest deceleration rate of all machines after a turbo start, and so needs a bump to get it running.
Solution 1: Stay in the middle of the road, and hold one of the shoulder buttons. Somehow the opponents don't take your drift into consideration when steering around you, and you *usually* get a bump from either HV, JB or FB. Simon Cheetham told me about this in a chat.
Solution 2: On tracks with a straight finish-line, don't use the turbo start at all, but wait for JB to pass you. Then drift left to the front of FB, and drive straight. The bump accelerates JV to ~410 km/h. Two seconds later JV runs at full normal speed.
These two solutions apply to Master GP. In training mode, you might either choose WW as opponent (-> Solution 1) or FB (-> Solution 2).
And - to use JV efficiently you need to know the tracks by heart, as you're turning into the corners much earlier than with the other machines (especially opposed to the Kart-like behaviour of FC). K4 and B2 are probably the best tracks to get used to JV's steering.
Greetings,
Michael
