When u-turning are you letting go of acceleration (x) when you press down and breaks while hopping

[@Chibuga]

Yes. Let go of acceleration

[@calh213]

Would you recommend this technique for the spiral in Dragon Mines? It’s the last Oxide ghost I need to beat and the only I’m struggling with a bit! Thanks for the informative video! Waiting for the PS4 save corruption patch before I attempt it again.

[@oat_pancake]

@@Chibuga Seems too obvious but i wanted to be sure. When u-turning, do you press right and left? Otherwise how do you turn just hopping and pressing down?

[@Chibuga]

Yes you can use it. However I tend to just use the shortcut. With reserves left over and good timing to avoid the train you can jump up the railroad and then cut back on the track

[@Hoopryfien]

Once I learned of the U Turn mechanic It was like It aaaall fits together now

[@GeneralLaygo]

Had trouble U-Turning even as a PS1 returning player, but this helped me finally get a good grasp (managed to clear turbo tracks turns twice, still need to practice timing). I appreciate what you've done, thank you!

[@megasean3000]

In-depth guide and has good sportsmanship, not finishing the race so others could finish too.

[@CoolBeanSoup]

Finally! Someone that gives a thorough explanation of the U-turns. I managed to do a few of these things on this list but I haven't mastered the U-turn yet. Thanks for sharing! 😁

[@GonaldDlover24]

Had an ABS light come on in my car once. Guess I wasn't power sliding enough 🤔

[@LightBen]

Waiting for the others, so thoughtful. Wow, bravo. And for sure, great video!

[@magotthemaggot]

I had the original PS1 CTR and just now I realize you can rev up your engine when being dropped back into the track. Also, waiting for others on the finish line seems like good sport, at least until they adjust the online timer or do something like ranked matches.

[@ScorchedEclipse]

i only knew of this from CNK cause the boost meter shows up after track recovery

[@Defileros]

Omg i U turned by pressing right/left sticks instead of the down one until now, this explains why my u turns were trash, thank you Chibuga, my biggest mistake is finally fixed

[@mickael486]

how do you choose to turn left or right if you're only pushing Down?

[@ManpreetSL]

@@mickael486 You press both down and left/right at the same time (along with the brake button, and hopping)

[@stevenuniverse5345]

I was doing the same omg the U-turn technique was ultra helpful

[@roxasthebandicoot4492]

Thank you top notch guide couldn't find anybody explaining it fully,especially stages like turbo track.

[@airzonasprite4060]

The muscle memory of letting go of gas in a racing game is hard

[@evilbabaroga]

u can actually finish races without ever holding gas except for starting the kart at the start

[@deshawncross4003]

Thank you!! Very informative! & just so you know @ 19:25 it’s a shortcut that can be used & cleared using the techniques you demonstrated by hopping over to the platform on the right! You’re welcome!

[@Chibuga]

Thanks but I already knew that. Just not at the moment the video was recorded

[@coupedegrace1120]

Such a great video with Crystal clear information and explanation. I am new to this game therefore this really helps me shorten my learning curve. Thanks dude and you just earn yourself a new subscriber. Keep the great videos coming!

[@rudeboyspodcast]

Super helpful video, bud! I would recommend raising your microphone volume maybe like 5 to 10%. Other than that, quality footage and you're very good at explaining! Also, some Time Stamps for specific parts of the video would be helpful.

[@Chibuga]

Thanks for the feedback!!

[@Freestyler00008]

Great upload dude! Really informative vid, keep em coming

[@shinramox1520]

Thanks for the U-turn one thing I didn't know how to do :)

[@willowwright3982]

For Xbox w/alternate control users: 1. Go to Xbox settings on home screen 2. Find the option to map your controller buttons 3. Map the R1 button to dpad down (this swaps the functions of the two buttons) You can always go back and change this setting back to normal when you're done playing for the day, but it is indeed the most crucial step to the equation. 4. When wanting to Uturn, you must release the acceleration (R2) and quickly hit and hold down R1 (this would have been the down on dpad you would have had to hold down for Uturn which is almost impossible while using analog). 5. While holding R1, also hold brake (x). You must be holding R1 down before adding brakes or you will lose your fire. 6. Now that you are holding R1 and X, spam the L1 (jump) button while using left analog to guide your Uturn. 7. Once finished with the Uturn, release all buttons and resume R2 (acceleration), and drift as soon as possible to maintain fire. I have done 101% completion of the game, and have gotten to only 9 more Velo times to beat, and just today learned this from watching The Viperian. I can't believe I didn't find this sooner but it has breathed new life into playing.

[@ultimatekd]

This was awesome! Thanks for making this video!

[@Game-Guy-89]

“Always be sliding” got it

[@oAngelofDeathx]

Great tutorial! Definitely going to send the video to players who need help. Also, i love how you stop to let other players finish the race. I started doing that too after so many matches destroying the casuals. I felt bad. haha.

[@Chibuga]

Yeah I don't want them giving up on Racing so we need to show some mercy. That's part of the reason I started making these tutorials. I want some actual competition in the future

[@oAngelofDeathx]

@@Chibuga I cant agree with you more. Plus theres also toxic players that really discourage the newbies from learning the game. Its nice to see experienced players giving a helping hand.

[@ScorchedEclipse]

@@Chibuga i should probably do this too if i do end up being as ahead as you were in this clip. i def want more people playing this :)

[@chrisdixon6668]

Your the man!!!! I used to be no1 ctr racer in my manor when I was younger on the ps1 no one could come close to me but I don't remember being as fast as you I'm going to buy the game right now and bring back them old school memories thankyou for the tips I remembered most of them from the original game but like you said some things have changed I'm not as well tuned into gaming as I was as a young man but I guess I'm doing ok at 40 to still challenge some of these fantastic players like your self I hope it all comes back to me if I'm half as fast as you I will be happy nice driving bro hope we get to race sometime but I will need a few hours practice first cant wate for it to download CTR here I come . I have to say again your the muts nutts bro love your style hope to see you out there

Do you keep pressing down the gas button while preforming the U-turn technique or do you just press down and breaks?

[@pahuljica89]

How to power slide without going left or right, I always go onto one side and then in the wall -.-

[@eeveefennecfox]

dude,I bet you can do the stupid time trial challenges blindfolded

[@Chibuga]

Yeah look at my CTR playlist. Oxide is too for me easy to beat. The reason I haven't done them all is because I'm too lazy.

[@lupin281]

at 1:16 what key should use to get the most big amount of boost?

[@rudyramadhana4127]

cnk tracks have original soundtrack too? Mask has original theme too? Cool

[@chadcowman6293]

Awesome video man! I knew there was a better boost start! Also for your u- turns on electric ave, you're just holding down and kind of floating instead of hopping. I'm assuming it's the same u-turn technique but you're going alot faster so u dont need to hop? Before the u-turns you're adjusting the way u want to u-turn by the way your kart is facing?

[@Chibuga]

I'm just pressing break in the air to turn faster. Also with the u-turns I made sure to have extra space so that I wouldn't hit a wall and lose fire reserves.

[@mickael486]

If you're holding DOWN and Square? How do you turn if that requires Turning Left or Right?

[@Chibuga]

You press in the direction you want to turn while holding down and square. Just press all of those buttons.

[@Perunakeitto92]

Been wondering how to do that hop n turn. Thanks!

[@adrenalineracerf1]

ABS= Anti lock brakes system

[@TheTomtaru]

2:45 what do you mean NO benefits? What about NOT hitting the wall in front of you? Sounds like a huge benefit over not turning to me...

[@DylanGuillemette]

This needs more views lol

[@TioMagic]

great job u forgot to talk a bit about reserves a bit. very funny how u u talk in 3:15 u sound like a mom telling go clean ur room. nice video. u sure that turning opposite side while turbo sliding makes u loose speed? will certainly try it! thanks : )

[@Chibuga]

Lol I do at that point. But is true. Turning normally is asking to lose. Did I say turning the opposite direction while power sliding makes you lose speed? Can you time stamp it? It's been a few years sense I made this video and I don't remember. I don't think that happens. It just alters your turning arc.

[@TioMagic]

@@Chibuga dont remember but u said it like 2 or maybe 3x

[@Chibuga]

@@TioMagic I think you may have misheard because there is no point in time I ever thought power sliding in the opposite direction slows you down. In fact it is better because it keeps you going straight.

[@BigDaddy22-r7g]

Dont remember ever hating this game this much the AI is fucking rediculous how fast they are

[@Chibuga]

You just need to keep practicing. They really aren't a challenge once you can keep fire.

[@TucBroder]

I need you to do the Tropy and Oxide time trials for me :p

[@eeveefennecfox]

same

[@erllor]

Hey, can you make a more detailed video of the difference in power sliding in CTR and Nitro fueled? As a player of the original, I keep hitting the turn walls now... (I can’t really translate what you describe verbally here in 11 minutes to my thumbs.) PS: I use the analogs, maybe that maked it harder to «let go and repress».

[@Chibuga]

I think that's because you jump slightly higher and so the drift is slightly delayed which is throwing you off

[@SuperZora4]

For the U-turn do you have to let go of acceleration before you jump or after you jump

[@Chibuga]

I usually do it before

[@SuperZora4]

@@Chibuga Practiced it a bit and just got my sub 3 minutes (2:50.96) on Hot Air Skyway by using U-Turns

[@Ramirez77]

So with the U-Turn so we hold down the brake while spamming jump? I need to practice the U-turn since I've been barreling through oxide times and got stuck with dragon mines.

Hold "reverse" and "brake" and jump

[@bozzii3237]

@@Chibuga Froggy Hops are actually impossible?

[@Chibuga]

I'm pretty sure I lose fire and reserves from hopping. So people online don't know what they are doing. I would only hop to get a better angle on tight turns.

[@drakemguard1407]

Do you press x while doing a tight u turn?

[@Chibuga]

No unless you are on X-box. In which case yes but not "A"

[@xShakyor]

Im to stupid for the u-turn lol

[@konnkon1025]

Same😂

[@estil9973]

There is a "perfect" version of U-Turn in which you don´t lose fire right?

[@Chibuga]

You will always lose fire when u-turning, but can manage to keep it if you have built up enough reserves to counteract the amount lost while u-turning.

DO NOT TURN NORMALLY!!! No really, he ain't lying 😂

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΒαφειάδης-φ9δ]

Hi, Chibuga! I have a question. I'm trying to beat Oxide in Crash Cove, but only there for the sake of beating him on Time Trials and for the life of me, I can't maintain the fire from the turbo pads. Any tips?

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΒαφειάδης-φ9δ]

Also, I'm using Crash and I've been trying for the last four days!

[@Chibuga]

I think this is more of a character problem. Crash is 2nd slowest in the game. Choose an advance class sense the track is easy and mostly straight aways. To keep fire just make sure your always power sliding and don't touch any walls.

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΒαφειάδης-φ9δ]

Thanks, man! So, I reckon it's not doable with him. Aside from the advanced characters, is there any with full acceleration that can help, like Coco or Nash? Also, any of the advanced will do?

[@Chibuga]

Παναγιώτης Βαφειάδης I believe it's still possible with Crash it just may be harder to do especially if you can't keep your fire (basically you have to be perfect and can't mess up), But it will be easier with acceleration or advanced characters sense those 2 have higher top speed. Also characters don't have individual stats, only each class does, so go ahead and choose any character in the respective class.

[@Chibuga]

The game lies to you stat wise and "all-rounded" is really a more worse version of beginner class with the worst stats in game overall

Sorry I believe that was taken out. I feel like hopping too much makes you lose speed and reserves.

Being able to stoke sacred fire, and ultimate sacred fire, has made froggying obsolete. Just like how Mario Kart 8 Deluxe made fire hopping obsolete.

[@Vulcanfaux]

Challenge mode. Play without using any of these techniques. Dont actually do that. Medium is pretty difficult to win like that. Unless you wanna duplicate the Mario kart feel I guess. But against real people, you will never win... unless you all agree to race like that.
