This debate about blocking being a skill or being cheap is
getting really, really old.
Ok, let me put u an example. Let's just say i am in my R34, and
someone in a GC8V pulls me to Akina DH. If i do not block, i would
have already lost the match from the 1st corner, because R34's
cornering on average on Akina DH is at least 10km/h slower than the
GC8V. That would be rather silly, wont it?
That's why i dont complain when someone blocks me. Dont whine about
it, instead find a way around his butt instead.
And in any case, Segarosso mostly balanced out the cars in ver 3
very nicely (unlike ver 2 where the *AHEM* DC2 *AHEM* dominated).
While the 6-speeders have startup, they generally dont handle or
corner as well as their 5-speed counterparts, hence the 5-speeders
have a chance if they know where to make their attacks. Also the
cars with lousy pickup (Trueno, Capp) in the games also generally
have more powerful upper gears, which they have for a reason, to
assist the car in making its attacks
