[Competition]January A-Class Uphill Battle! - ROUND 3 BRACKET UP!

Hahaha lol ok I was just imagining scenarios where staying behind bumper-to-bumper at the finish or overtaking at any point before equates to the same weighted win for that round. But I can see ways an automatic win or loss for a battle can be exploited. Sad

Yeah, any mid race win/loss I personally think is exploitable and has no benefits. How much fun is it to watch a 10 second race where someone just takes off gains 200 ft and battle over lol

If a 200ft gap resulted in an auto win then I would've lost against Koolaid because he gained a 350ft gap on me at one point during the 2nd race before I could close it back up to 0ft right at the end! Laughing

But what I really meant to say was that you said the winner must win two rounds in a row, but that's in a cat & mouse fashion I'm guessing. Do you think that an overtake where the original leader (now chasing) cannot regain the lead before the finish line deserves a K.O. win that eliminates a 2nd race with reversed positions? This would make it so that you have to think and choose carefully about which position you want to be in for the 1st race. This is the same as Initial D so I don't see why not...

Yeah, I agree with that.

Some people I've seen in the past think the auto win thing is from initial D, but a few of the battles have mulitple overtakes. Like me personally, love the 86 vs 86 (Waturu) battle because cat and mouse and the winner is the one who overtakes the other and keeps it till the end of the run. This leads to many runs and an intense battle!

im looking fot a battle like that with someone. If anyone is interested let me know Smile

Swear I missed this. Sad

RD Avanti won against Jusputitonmytab 2 out of 2

Avanti takes the win on both battles!

Battle 1: Avanti was able to stick to my rear bumper the entire track.
Battle 2: I was able to hang around for first half, but then Avanti left me in the dust.

I'll see if I can get a video together of the battles over the weekend.

EDIT: Haha, beat me to it.

His Z is Rwd and since it has like 300hp, it is quite tailhappy. But I must say kona did do pretty good job of keeping it under control!

Thanks! That Z is hard to keep on the road. I just need to dig deeper with Z and maybe I will hit some gold.

huh? my RWD 69z has like 430HP lol

I was just estimating, I guess I meant to put 300+, even at 300 its quite a bit to handle in that lightweight car.
