    I feel like this is a balancing act where you have to try stay front but close enough so the ai won't draft boost ahead of you , and blocking them when necessary, also while paying attention to your SP guage.
    Once I figured that out, Devil Z/BlackBird isn't that hard actually.

      Sales were poor because of the OP Devil Z in the PS2 game. People quickly sold the game after finishing it and the game had excessively bad reviews.
      Genki tried a comeback on the PS3 but with the same low results. Even worse as the game was worse in terms of gameplay (I own it, and handling sucked big time, cars wouldn't turn even after braking, not to mention graphics that are an insult to the PS3 and certainly ain't worth the hefty price), and playing with a wheel didn't change anything.
      They stick to arcade since then, earning money with each guy sitting behind the screen. Even if the guy won't try again, another will. Arcade world $$

      "You don't change a winning team", they say.
      This applies everywhere, especially in arcade business. People who play arcade don't give a rat's ass about quality and don't want/can't buy a console; all they want is a quick fun after work or between school class; 50 Yen in a slot, a quick adrenaline rush, and back to the exams, the boss, the wife and the kids.
      Developers have the perfect income method. 30 years-old games still making money, and even having their regular tournaments (Street Fighter II/III, PuyoPuyo, etc). As long as the cash keeps tingling inside, no worries... One may as well compare this to casino business. Endless loop. Perfectly legal, and as easy as anything can ever be for someone who wants in. Invest some money, sit behind a counter all day juggling with your iPhone, chat with a guy or two. There's your business.

      That’s because the AI is cheating. When you crash into a wall, you lose speed so you can’t wallgrind around the corners. Not the AI though, they can wallgrind with no speed lost. Hence their cornering speed.

      It's entirely possible to beat 13th racing without blocking him in the original, you just have to get good at silent drifting (drifting through the turn while keeping your car straight so the tires don't squeal). The RT Ryukyu is definitely a good car to use once you get used to drifting this way, though the Carrot car is even better.
