Blind Attack



The Blind Attack is a technique used by Takumi Fujiwara during which he shuts his Eight-Six's headlights when close to an opponent, which blinds him for a short time, hence the name.

However, there is one advantage, which is reduced aerodynamic drag. Since the cars pop-up headlights reduce the car's airflow by a small amount, creating drag, by turning the headlights off, the car's airflow is smoother, creating less aerodynamic drag.

The blind attack was first used against Tomoyuki Tachi of the Todo School.

In the Arcade Stage series, blind attack can be used by holding the Start button down for a few second. It's cosmetic only, however, as the player's speed is unaffected by it. Starting from Arcade Stage 4, using it disables the "Advantage" meter for the victim and some of Arcade Stage 8 Infinity and Arcade Stage Zero's story missions require the use of the technique in order to complete an objective.
