An VS Player is a versus battle between players using connections between two or more Driver Units using a network cable. If your interruption settings are set to "Welcome Interruptions," then you can have a versus battle even if you're in another race.
'VS Player' is the mode that has been in the series up to now.
'Extreme VS Player' is a mode in which the courses run in the opposite direction to normal and you race with various information such as 'remaining distance' hidden. You can enjoy an extreme race that is exciting right up to the end. The type of race is decided by a majority vote from the participants.
Up to four people can take part in a versus battle.
Up to four people can take part in a versus battle in Maximum Tune 5.
A third or fourth person can interrupt even during a versus battle.
When a new interrupting player appears, the course, the period of time and all other selections are reset.
After selecting the racing area, the Driver Unit will automatically decide the start location (start ramp) from those included in that racing area.
The period of time for the versus battle is determined by majority.
The background music for the versus battle is set by the person who first set "Welcome Interruptions." When continuing in versus battles, the person who won first place in the previous race will set the background music.
The handicap is a system to relieve players who are really falling behind in order to make versus battles more competitive. The strength of the handicap is determined based on the number of that player's gauges. If you want a hardcore battle without a handicap, then when all players in the versus battle step on the brake pedal (the indicator will light up), it will become a "hardcore race" with no handicap.
You'll get a star depending on your results when winning in versus battles. This star is called an "Outrun Star". The more Outrun Stars a player has, the stronger that player is in versus battles.
The rules for the increase and decrease of Outrun Stars are as follows:
Outrun Stars that can be earned per race
Race results | 4-player race | 3-player race | 2-player race |
---|---|---|---|
1st | ☆☆☆ | ☆☆ | ☆ |
2nd | ☆☆ | ☆ | N/A |
3rd | ☆ | N/A | |
4th | N/A |
However, the following rules apply for players who have 2,001 or more Outrun Stars:
Outrun Stars that can be earned per race (when you have 2,001 or more)
Race results | 4-player race | 3-player race | 2-player race |
---|---|---|---|
1st | ☆☆☆ | ☆☆ | ☆ |
2nd | ☆☆ | ☆ | -1 |
3rd | ☆ | -1 | |
4th | -1 |
The distance raced in an In-store Interruption Versus Battle is decided by the following formula:
Race distance = (basic distance raced) + (additional distance based on the number of players) + (randomly added bonus distance)
・Basic distance raced
Condition 1) No one is using a card. 8. 0 km
Condition 2) All players have fewer than 20 gauges. 10. 0 km
Condition 3) One of the players has more than 21 gauges. 13. 0 km
・Additional distance based on the number of players
2 players 2. 0 km
3 players 3. 0 km
4 players 4. 0 km
・Randomly added bonus distance
Anywhere from 0.1 to 3.0 km are added randomly.
VS Grade' is a new guide that indicates your VS player strength.When you collect 'VS Medals', which you can receive for your VS player results, your 'VS Grade' increases based on the number of 'VS Medals' you have collected.
Whoever reaches first place in the VS Player survives and gets to play one more game.
