UPDATED Airbrake & U-Turn 2020 Guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIapoImOf6tkfKs

[@Lord-Void-Fate-Demonic]

This is an excellent video, but you should have mentioned at the end that as long as you are holding the down input, it won’t matter if you land on the ground and are still holding brake because holding down prevents you from losing your reserves that you’ve built-up.

[@TheViperian]

Glad you enjoyed the video, Lord! This is actually an amazing tip, even I didnt know about. I will pin this up for people to see this 😄

[@Lord-Void-Fate-Demonic]

TheViperian I most certainly did! It was very well made! And ah, really? Well look at that! I taught someone something new ~ Much appreciated! You could also test it yourself. Drive off of any turbo pad holding down + brake. Then do the same thing but only holding brake. If you only hold brake without down, you will stop almost immediately. 😎

[@TheViperian]

This explains why u-turning works. I might make a separate video about this, really useful info. If I did,I will credit u for this 😄

[@Lord-Void-Fate-Demonic]

TheViperian Indeed it does ~ And oh goodie! If you do, I will most certainly check it out. Much appreciated. 😎

[@TheViperian]

Just a heads up! New video about Blue & Sacred Fire is going live in 40 minutes. I've included your tip as a BONUS tip in my video. Do check it out soon!

[@KindredCVS]

Thanks for helping me learn U-Turn on Turbo Track and Dragon Mines last Friday. :) More or less I now fully understand the technique.

That is cool how The Viperian taught you back then

[@lisahansen8301]

I prefer your video's because they are of clear clean viewing quality and are to the point and show me exactly how to perform the move. As a beginner you have definitely helped me to improve my game. Plus it just makes it more fun.

Man, thanks for this i've been playing CTR since i'm a kid. and i want to improve my skills in this game. it's sad to say i must say to my old friend the analog stick. :( great video man, you've earned a sub! ❤️

[@TheViperian]

Thanks man ❤ happy CTR!

[@Myras.]

Btw you can just use the left analog stick without using the d pad at all. Just make sure you press break button and let go of the gas button

[@Cj-ev2si]

I’m usually in first place, if it wasn’t for those meddling power ups!

[@TheViperian]

Same here :( Pls give us no-item mode races!

[@Cj-ev2si]

TheViperian I sent Beenox a tweet regarding a race mode without power ups, which will try solely on driving skill. Hopefully he’s seen it

[@jessejive117]

Ceejay C that still won’t due it. You’ll still get smashed or squashed by other carts hitting turbo. Maybe make us all Ghosts would be better I think.

[@ELITEsd]

Well, I got used to the analog stick and just like you said it's hard to do it. I immediately try this trick after watching this video and this tutorial actually paid me off really well. It will take me some time to get used to d-pad but nonetheless, this is helpful. Thanks.

[@TheViperian]

No problem ! I actually JUST UPLOADED an updated guide on this a few minutes ago. You might want to check it out,its my latest video 😄

[@ELITEsd]

@@TheViperian Hah. Gonna check it real soon.

[@jessejive117]

The thing I just figured about air turns, especially for hot air way, is to hold break for longer, throughout the entire turn, not just a second.

[@TheViperian]

Yeap! hold it all the way till your turn is complete

[@420ConeDog]

This explains a lot. Ive been trying to speed run to the best of my abilities with only air braking, I didn't even know U turns were a thing. Ive had this game since it came out and have put many hours into it, this explains why ive never got close to rhw highscores haha. Thanks for the video

[@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.

[@Woundedstork]

Easy like and subscribe! Very quick and to the point with easy to follow explanation. Love it, will definitely check out your vids just started this game and was having trouble learning the ropes on my own.

[@TheViperian]

Hey! Welcome to the game,I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Online can be rough right now especially since you're new, go through my guides as it's perfect for newer players. Glad you enjoyed it 😄

[@yasuo9769]

And this is why the D-Pad will always be superior. Thank you for this tutorial. Just gotta ditch the analog, and I'm straight. XP

[@TheViperian]

😄 You're welcome!

[@Mr.Z2311]

Out of curiosity, how did that go? New player, and I honestly find most of the mechanics in this game to be very...annoying. Trying to learn the ropes but I'm not really getting anywhere.

If u can perfect airbrake with analog, you're golden 😱

[@7StarHeryla]

Hell yeah. The best tracks to master this imo are Papu Pyramid, hot air skyway and electron ave. If you can do this, you will leave everyone in the dust. I’m comfortable on papus and hot air, I’m so close on electron ave .

good luck!

Thanks for supporting the channel 😄 Yeah I kinda noticed that problem too, this was actually my very first guide, but I improved upon it ever since. Thanks for your kind feedback :D

[@TheViperian]

Comment down below if you have any questions for me 😁😁

[@Cpt.Masami]

interesting. I wish I had learned this months ago. I have a question, does the drift and turn classes effect the uses of these 2 techniques?? also what maps would you recommend practicing for using both? I been playing since launch and have always seen these people pull off these turns.I must master this at all costs 😠😠 oh and because of this video I subbed to you! hope to see more content. thanks!

[@TheViperian]

First of all, thanks for subbing! I'm so glad that you are able to learn from my videos. More Pro Tips series definitely coming out, so stay tuned! Best practice map would be definitely be Electron Avenue! If you can keep blue fire throughout the entire 3 laps, that's good practice :) Don't bump into walls or fall off the map. The entire map will force you to use Air Braking & U Turning 80% of the time

[@TheViperian]

Oh and to answer your first question, yes the turn stats does affect the airbraking/uturning radius, but quite minimal

[@shagtingoogan6732]

I’ve been using the dpad since I started so that’s a plus

[@clowve]

Great video! Will use this to try to get that N. Tropy and Oxide trophies in my run. Tabik from a fellow Malaysian

Let's say to U-turn/ air brake to the right, do you press diagonally down + right or down then right?

[@TheViperian]

Diagonally down + right. Basically at the same time

[@parsajabbarpourfard2891]

Tnx for your good video I learned the air brake but I have problem to do U turn when I have turbo : (

[@joshstephens1527]

need to position your thumb so the first joint is on the down arrow key, then the end of your thumb can be easily swivelled from left arrow/right arrow, using the down arrow as your swivel point. Dang young folk these days with their joysticks...:p

[@Jagerbomber]

Because of big airbrake jumps being easier and more common, I think I find myself holding down brake too much in my u-turns, making my Turbo Track u-turns not go well anymore. or something.

[@TheViperian]

Make sure to let go of the brake button before landing, so u wont accidentally lose your fire and reserve. One big tip I can give you that can be game changing: Holding down the Down Key and Brake key and the same time will not make you lose fire 😄

Any tips on how to transition quickly from analog (while driving) to arrow keys while u-turning? I have been practicing U-turning the past few weeks, but I still have trouble transitioning to and from the arrow keys. I already use air-brake, but I use analog for that. U-turn is much harder to use analog.

[@TheViperian]

Transitioning is not recommended. It is best to fully use either analog, or arrow key. Arrow key is better

[@Peace_in_Christ]

That’s exactly what I searched for

can you do tips on each gem cup. ive just started the purple gem, its insane, i need to master these tracks to stay ahead of the madness.

Cups are pretty much normal races, as long as you master the mechanics of the games (watch my Tips Series) then you will beat it, even on hard

[@misterneckbreaker88]

@@TheViperian done it, the oxide race at the end, brutal. cheers

[@sashabrown6043]

Blue fire pretty please!!

[@fghdkjlfkghfc]

I tried doing just as you described in the video for a U-Turn, but it's always inconsistent; it either kinda works, but I lose my blue flame, or I end up facing the direction I want to go, without changing trajectory, causing me to careen straight into a wall.

[@TheViperian]

I can kinda tell what you're doing wrong, try to make sure you are doing/not doing these: 1) Losing Blue Flame Do you mean losing blue flame after you land? If so, remember to let go of the brake button. Braking while on the ground will make you lose blue fire almost immediately (Unless you are holding Square + Back arrow at the same time). If you are losing it in the AIR, it's 100% either you touched a wall, or you lost reserves. 2) Facing the direction i want to go If this happens, it means you held the square button + left / right arrow key correctly, but you didn't hold down the DOWN ARROW KEY too. Remember, Airbraking requires 3 BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME, which is SQUARE, LEFT/RIGHT ARROW KEY and DOWN ARROW KEY. 3) Inconsistent. This one is easy to fix, just make sure you are NOT HOLDING DOWN the acceleration key while in the air (X Key on PS4). Airbrake wont work unless you let go of X in the air. Sorry for the long reply, but I figure this would help you out so I made it as detail as possible for you :)

[@fghdkjlfkghfc]

@@TheViperian Thanks. Getting it with more consistency now. Now my only problem is muscle memory, with U-turning. I'm used to airbraking, though. I do it all the time online. I just never thought of down + left/right, only doing the direction instead. (Also I'm on Switch btw.)

[@TheViperian]

@@fghdkjlfkghfc ahh, switch might be abit harder because your arrow keys are separated. But still doable! Yeap, u HAVE to hold the DOWN KEY. If not it wouldn't work, keep playing and muscle memory will take over

[@sebastienfixary1442]

@@TheViperian airbrakes don't work if we don't let go the X button, but how about U-turns ? So they work if we keep holding X or is it the same thing as with Airbrakes ? Thanks for your time (subscribed btw!)

@@sebastienfixary1442 same thing as airbrake, you dont press X or it wont work too. The only differences between airbrake and uturn is that you are spamming an extra R1 while doing the hops 😄 thanks for being a subscriber!
