#jgr beat

[edgeanescence]

i have a fantastic announcement 'beat emotes through his glasses' crew. his glasses are actually animated in the first game and the frequency seems to be like that of a blinking animation in the dreamcast release (gif above).

however, upon testing, i have discovered he is bugged in the 2012 port and this is only viewable as intended via his encounter with combo. during normal gameplay (where this animation also is supposed to play) his glasses only are animated on one lens, generally the one closest to the camera. (gif below)

yoyo too is affected by the differences between the dreamcast and port, though his texture animation is Far harder to notice. i find that having his expression textures right there helps you pick it out better, so here it is with a dreamcast gif below it

it only shows up on his left lens for a second, and similar to beat, this animation only plays during his challenge in the 2012 port. during normal gameplay, this animation is Entirely absent.

[blankie-greenie-anon]

I bought a tablet, and I decided the first complete work I'd make with it was a joke I have been holding on to for years.

In my head, the bottom panels would be one long panel with Beat facing away, saying, "Fine. Deal with the cops yourself. I don't care." And Vyse would be grabbing his shoulder, laughing as he says, "I'm kidding! I thought you rudies had a sense of humor?" But I wanted a cuter ending.

This video came out two years ago, so I can now bring it up without people jumping me in the public.

Not only it's just not good, the worst part of it is the shocking amount of uncredited art, especially considering that the author credited their sources.

It's just disrespectful, plain and simple.

So, I decided to find and credit every author I can, since I can't stand this sort of thing.

Either way, let's begin.

Instead of timestamping where specific artwork appeared, I'll just write in which section they appeared.

jgr vs jsr - https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/15837155

So yeah, that's all i could dig up. If you know the source for more images, or noticed a mistake in this post, then please tell me and I'll edit the post.

What's the moral of the story here?

Respect artist's work!

Just because they are uploading pretty images for free, doesn't mean that you can just take them all willy-nilly. As a fandom based around an art based game, that has a lot of issues with crediting its own developers, we should know better.

Special thanks to my friends, saucenao and the Hokuto no Ken OST that was blaring while I searched for art lol.

Auto Racing Analytics is my new favorite account, because who doesn't love a spider graph?? I love a spider graph:

I initially found this account through a post that had that blue line and was like, "guess whose stats these are." And I was immediately like, that is the most 5-coded blue line. Operating at such a high level! So well-rounded! Except for the giant chomp taken out of it where DNFs and crash avoidance are concerned, hahaha...ha!

Going into Indy, I was talking to @the-kings-tail-fin about how, on any given day, the 5 could not be trusted in the way that the 9 could, and that the 24 was seasonally trustworthy (one of those seasons not being summer). I'd wanted to make a post about my thoughts on Kyle Larson's driving style, but chickened out of it because it's not as though I had any actual data aside from anecdotal evidence of having watched more of his Cup races than I haven't. But look, a spider graph! That affirms my personal impressions!

So let's talk about Kyle Larson and the 5. Kyle Larson is known for being good, which in racing generally means fast. HMS can put together some fast cars. But the fastest car isn't always the winning car. So what've we got? Here are my novice takes:

fast -- yes

loose -- he prefers a loose racecar (as opposed to tight)--understeer in the corners, where the back tends to swing out. If you can control it, you can find speed this way. Con? The if, I guess. And tire management, because a tire that's sliding isn't rolling.

aggressive -- Larson's self-descriptor, which in his context means shoving a car in places it does not seem like a car can fit (and often finding that it does not, in fact, fit there).

Case in point:

That was re: late braking/brake lockup, but when other cars are involved, aggression looks like shoving a car in places that dare the other guy to wreck them both or lift. This is why the "terminal avoidance" and "crash avoidance" stats take such a nosedive--because sometimes when you're playing with fire like that, you mess up. Or the other guy doesn't lift. But it makes for fantastic spectating, especially when coupled with the daring required to pass and come up the field (when you have the speed to do so). That kind of run can also be hard on tires, as well as fuel, though fuel is not typically as big a storyline as it has been in 2024. And I will say that KL has gotten a lot better at tire management than he has been in the past.

creative -- Adaptability to an ever-changing track and, again, the daring to try new lines and search around for whatever works, which Jeff Gordon describes as a dirt race thing, in that it's the bread and butter of that form of racing, given that a dirt track is different every lap.

clean -- It doesn't seem like "clean" and "aggressive" would go hand in hand, since being aggressive can result in wrecks and also means you're a pain in the bum to anyone you're racing, but there's lots of flavors to "aggressive" and KL is not a "rattle his cage" kind of guy. Which isn't to say the racing won't get phyisical--it just probably won't be retaliatory.

For example, my biggest kink is Kyle Larson getting eaten alive by JGR, and KyBu and Denny Hamlin have, historically, done this a lot, because their form of aggression is a lot more toothy, if you will. But KL's bit back sometimes, too. (MTJ has gotten in on this action by beating KL on restarts for years straight. But as you'll see in the graph, restarts have improved!)

I'll also note that I've definitely seen KL punt a backrunner out of his way, so he's not above such things entirely. But he's a terrible person to pick a fight with outside of the car, because he won't fight back.

--

He's just great to watch, on TV and live. Even if this style of racing is exceptionally make-or-break in a playoffs format, because when it's good it's so, so good and when it's bad it's real bad. But such are the tradeoffs, and it's really cool to look back and recognize the level of excellence that's happening in the car.

I'll caveat that by saying that I've watched Kyle Larson miss pit road in an Xfinity race because he... forgot?? to pay attention??? and have seen him wheel hop his way around a road course and tear the tires of a racecar overdriving it and push extremely badly in the draft and whiff a restart to the point of no return, and that realistically I've probably also seen him do... most of those things... in 2024, too... I saw someone say once that for someone so talented KL sure does a lot of things that are incredibly, gobsmackingly dumb, and I probably wouldn't argue against that.
