3. Introduction CFVS03
================================

This is the next game after the PS2's Road of Infinity 4.

====Game Modes==================

================================
4. Opening Screen CFVS04
================================

NEW GAME
- You are prompt to input your name and get to choose one character
and his designated machine. The players you can choose are:
- H. Kazami
- N. Shinjyo
-
-
-
-
- A. Hiyoshi.

- Once you have created a game, then you will have the following menu
to choose your game from.

LOAD GAME
- You load a single file. This game does not allow auto-save, but from
time to time you can save your game in different play modes.

================================
5. Single Match CFVS05
================================
- In this mode there are three separate inner-modes you can choose
from:
- Survival
- GPX
- Conquest

- Each mode will be explained in the following sections.

================================
> 5a. Survival Mode CFVS05a
================================

In this mode, you will be running 3 laps in the beginning, then 4, and
then 5. After each round you will be rewarded with some points and after
each round the difficulty is slightly higher.

First difficulty you get 300 points as 1st prize.

I'm guessing from the following information, that you get the best(?)
engine for whichever team you clear with.

--
Clear with Bleed Kaga: Aoi C.C. Engine V12 ver 6.
Clear with Hayato Kazami: Sugo SV-4 V1

*Note: Unlocking the cars does not mean you get it right away. It
just means it is available to be purchased in the factory!

**Note: Stars mean difficulty. 1 star being the easiest, and 7 be-
ing the most difficult.

================================
6. Time Attack CFVS06
================================

================================
7. Free Run CFVS07
================================

In free run, you can choose any courses with your selected machine.

For each lap you run through you will make 100 points for every lap
you have made at the end.

Personally I don't prefer selecting this mode because the GPX,
Conquest and Time Attack are better than this.

================================
8. Zero-4000 CFVS08
================================

In this mode you will basically run through the straight section of
Postbridge Airport without boosting.

Many find this difficult as I personally do, too. You must make it
in roughly 13 seconds and that takes some skill. There are several
things you can do to try make the record:

1. Upgrade your machine's max speed (ie. Engine) and its acceler-
ation.

2. Jot down the maximum speed for each gear.

For example, Gear 1: 50 Kph (Kilometres per hour)
Gear 2: 120 Kph
...and
so
on...

Once you have done that, make sure you switch gears at the exact
maximum position to obtain maximum acceleration from the next
gear up.

3. Experiment with the timing to switching into Aero mode or its
equivalent (for some machines).

This is crucical because there is a point where if you switch
into Aero, the machine's acceleration goes up.

This is because a machine original starts off as normal or
circuit mode. When the machine has picked up a certain speed, for
example, at its maximum, you know the only way your machine will
exceed its current speed is to switch into Aero mode (if it has),
otherwise, you have no choice but to stay Circuit.

Aero mode not only improves acceleration, it also has a greater
maximum speed. Aero mode does not work as well if you are just
starting from 0 kph because there is no initial speed to pick up
from. Hence, you start off with Circuit mode.

My point is, when you start off as Circuit mode, pick a spot where
the Circuit mode starts to slow down its acceleration and also the
same spot where its Aero mode (if it has) has adequate initial
speed to continue acceleration at a fast rate.

These three aspects should be enough to get you past this mode at
least once. I have beat it about 2 to 3 times... and it isn't difficult
once you have gotten the hang of it.

================================
9. Max Speed Attack CFVS09
================================

Here, you will be driving through Central Manhatten with two sectors,
one that starts from the beginning to the second-last corner before the
long part of the track. The other one continues from the end of the
first sector to the end of the long path.

My advice is to have enough skill and speed that when you turn left
for the first time, you will maintain some speed to boost before you
touch the first line. For the second part, it's easy because you have
the whole way to get to your maximum speed. You just have to worry
about the first part.

As I was saying, you need high acceleration, high max speed and boost
speed. You need to make that left turn without losing a lot of speed,
(ie. don't crash) and you should get around 590kph.. because the limit
is 1280... Assuming your car doesn't get past 700, then you would
580... but that is still difficult.

For me, I got 597 kph for the Section 1 and 695 for Section 2. This
totals to 1292, beating the record by 12 kph. I beat it with B-Tire.

In my second run (or third), I tried using Q-Tire and yes it is much
different from used to playing with drifty tires... I had to figure out
how to turn with grip tires. Anyhow, I got 601 + 695 = 1296. I do think
that a less durable tire makes the car faster, but not by much.

Honestly, that isn't much, but indeed it is. If you don't believe me
try it out. I used to get around 550ish.. and that means I could never
get past the 1280 mark...

Now look, I have Shoemach maxed, and two parts:

Engine: C.C.V12/S and Boost: Type GIO 3.

Yes, it takes that much to beat this mode... so if you're not used to
the game quite yet, play with Single Match.

Oh and I forgot. If you crash while boosting, it cancels it out...so
don't crash!
