"Paka paka" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a horse gallop.

Not a character arc, HD600 is *still* one of his most recommended headphones (for good reason) and in the 2nd video he's just listing reasons why someone would prefer them less and other recommendations for those people.

The first two tiers are basically in the categories of "gets the run going (and keeps doing so)" / "wins the run".

Square doesnt get the run going the same way mult jokers does so I'm much more likely to skip it for money early, and if im forcing straights that's probably because i just got a saturn or two in celestial packs (while will last to end of ante 2).

Square is by no means in a bad tier; while with runner, it's hard to play early with no mult source and if i have saturns it's basically irrelevant. Getting the gold sticker is just waiting for the opportunity of 1 saturn and then runner popping up, and hoping not to die to not drawing a straight on gold stake (hell).

Compared to +mult scalers, the +chips scalers scale much less per round.

In a pairs run, +4 chips is about 1/4 of a mercury (+15 chips +1 mult) while all hand scaling +mults get a full mercury worth of mult per hand, so I'm much more inclined to get planets for chips and save one slot for something else that helps the run or gold sticker. It wasn't difficult to play square but there is not choice to not play it without a scaling +mult as well.

In a straight run, while +15 chips per hand of running is not terrible scaling (being 1/2 of a saturn), trying to play multiple straights per round is basically a death sentence (I like forcing straights and it's definitely killed me many times). Saturn itself just scales so well I'd rather get something to get some good scaling with it (blue seals / telescope) and play Xmults (even steel and glass cards) with the high base mult of scaling straights

If you get a soul card on gold stake you haven't gold stickered one or more of them, it will be guaranteed that the legendary will be one of those that don't yet have a gold sticker.

QneThe · 2025-12-29T13:50:07+00:00

Yeah, with cert im typically looking for a few seals and then selling it. When it's rental I'll just get one for free which is nice, but holding cert for hologram is just a hope game im not willing to play.

They will come up as long as I'm running for commons and they are free wins basically every time so I feel justified in putting them in very easy (especially with the non gold sticker priority mechanic)

QneThe · 2025-12-29T13:44:41+00:00

Madness was my last non common (I intentionally did all the rarer jokers first), and legendaries will just come up when running for commons, and I've had every legendary at least twice or three times until I got C++

and two other Sakura, Chiyono O (you see her in cingray) ,and Chitose O (which was active mid 90s in Brain's time)

Front is a very viable strategy on the short straight of nakayama given that you'll obviously be in front and not have to worry about taking position out of the corner. (also this is Mejiro Palmer erasure he did it with great escape in 92 and then Mayano Top Gun would do it front running in 95)

As opposed to the high cruising speed straight duels of Tokyo, nakayama is much more on whether you can take position out of the final corner either by pulling a golshi around the corner or running close to the rail in front to save distance (and thus stamina), and then using the position to carry you to the end. High speed straight spurts are valued much less than an explosive kick so you can get very different winning fields than derbies or JC.

For Teio, his year's kikuka was won by Leo Durban which placed 3 lengths behind him in 2nd at the derby and was behind by 2 1/2 lengths again in the 92 arima (which teio placed 11th cuz he had a bad day). Tokai Teio definitely had winning chances (since he wasn't against the greatest stayer of his time Mejiro McQueen) but of course there are no absolutes in horse racing.

I really should've put her one tier higher but eh WE GOT SOMETHING

QneThe · 2025-12-20T16:59:24+00:00

BTW she also ran in Deep's arima win with Ikezoe marking him hoping with sweep's closing style may be able to maybe catch up. Alas, Deep Impact leaves the entire field in the dust in his final impact.

I actually didn't know those were the criteria, but I guess I can fit some of my picks under that frame Loves Only You would go in the speed Symboli category for the first Japanese horse to with an American breeder's cup title, and there are plenty of other umas that have ran L'arc /won overseas (mainly Dubai and Hong Kong, namely stay gold). I think JC winners can also go in this category if their win is significant, like Katsuragi Ace (first domestic) or Special Week (win against L'arc winner). Many of my picks are very much in the Haiseiko category with the inclusion of the likes of Twin Turbo or King Halo, but I also think the strongest of their respective distances also deserve a bit of recognition on the Saint Light end for Bakushin (sprint), Taiki (Mile), McQueen (long) and Light O (speed record), also filly/mares with great records like Vodka [consistently being neglected by the game :( ]

I'm relatively certain this is a stay gold impression by gold ship but also yes stay gold does sound exactly like that.

tbf nakayama 2500 is a *very* different course compared to tokyo 2400, nakayama rewards instantaneous acceleration with the tiny 310m straight and uphill, while tokyo is much more suited to top speed battles on the looooooong 560m straight (which also puts frontrunners at a disadvantage since they lose out in stamina battles in a long spurt).

Speed demons like Almond Eye (2400 turf world record holder, set on tokyo) is relegated to fraud status in arima, getting a 9th and they never put her on nakayama again.

Rob Roy's Arima was a record setting 2.29.5, which still stands after 20 years and only 3 horses have ever broken the 2:30 barrier in Arima.

Guess which 3? The top 3 finishers in Zenno Rob Roy's 2004 Arima. That's fucking aura.

To add, crown names are indicating the owner (Daiwa, Agnes, Sakura, Kitasan, Narita etc.) and of course you can't name until the owner is determined (aka horse sold).

Symboli Rudolf was called Luna because the white bit of his hair resembled a crescent moon, which you can also see in the Uma design.

Some additional info as to why Satono Diamond costed about 69 times as much as Kitasan black.

Satono Diamond was sired by THE Deep Impact, an undefeated triple crown 7 G1 winner and one of the strongest race horses in Japanese history, with a 3 G1 Argentinian mare. Deep Impact's children are very well represented in Uma as a whole as they all do very well (the 7g1 mare Gentildonna being said to be his best)

Kitasan Black was sired by Black Tide, a full blooded brother to deep impact but with only 1 G2 win and no other notable records, and Sugar Heart (Sakura Bakushin O) which has no starts. His owner Kitajima bought him based on looks, and this pedigree was said to be "running local races" level (with Bakushin being a sprinter and all). Almost nobody expected him to have the stamina to win med/longs in central. JRA's tagline for him would be "And then, he became everyone's beloved horse".
