WMMT | Hints and Tips | Hakone v1

[@DanteDevilDan]

Thank you all so much for the kind words. I've not made a tutorial like this before and I am thrilled its got the amount of views it has. Whats best is that if or whatever you learn on this video by the end you can apply most of it to any other racing games. The only thing you would have to practice on a different game is just the mechanics, and that won't take anytime at all. Hakone can be intimidating at first but you guys can tackle it and trust me when you can nail every turn it will look badass! :D P.S Happy to help if anyone has any specific questions in regards to the game or racing.

[@DanteDevilDan]

Some of the earlier Wangan games maybe available only on PS1 (Japanese Copy) and the layout/design isn't like how it is in arcades. You can buy the machines however to get the most of it you would have to get 4 machines linked which is costly (£1500 - £3000+ each). Not to mention if you have the money to get them and you want to play online you would have to pay Namco per month to run per machine. It comes to no surprise that these machines are only in arcades and not privately owned seeing how much it costs to run it. I don't know how much it is per month but you can see sometimes on a machine it will have a yellow box on screen explaining it is close to running out of plays (Usually like a "No banacards banner" sign). Thanks a lot dude. The driving was a little rough since I made some errors in a few corners and I had the means to get a solid screen capture but the arcade head office said no even when I had explained to them how I can do it. All music tracks appear on the bottom left for Initial D + Season and Episode number.

[@icepelpz5437]

m8 thank for the tips😃i really liked the throttle turbo control and btw do you know some handling techniques for the evo 9? even my rank is a6,i still suck at handling controls.thanks again. : )

[@DanteDevilDan]

Glad the throttle tip helped out. You know...despite it being the most popular car in the game I had never owned one hahaha. Well, it depends what you use that handling for. Is it for Hakone specifically? Handling in general? Or it blocking?...

[@johnaxc2374]

DanteDevilDan sorry same person here. I lack at controlling fast speeds at a red corner or hard ones but I rewatched the video again and again and I improved.I really appreciate it.plus make more tutorials m8. :-)

[@DanteDevilDan]

Thats fantastic to hear man! Those turns are very ugly indeed, easy to catch people out. Brake half a second, off the gas and then feather it upon aiming at the apex. If you get 20 metres ahead and nail each corner you can effective pull away from the outrun races :). Yes more are currently being made with multiple tips for all skill ranges. All filming is being done in Sydney

Thank you so much for the tips. Now I can always win at the hakone area

[@DanteDevilDan]

Haha thats awesome dude, glad it helped. More tips on the way soon

[@SuperOtakuKid]

glad you're back!

[@DanteDevilDan]

great to be back!

[@danaztig23]

Thanks for this man. I just started and I just maxed out my car (rarely playing with other players) and I wanna play alot in hakone. So 740 HP and rest handling? (im only 800 HP, not 830)

[@TrustonLeongTheDriftPro]

Thank you for the tips... when I first started Hakone Inbound, I was a 2:44. Now I am a 2:31.689 thanks to you, but I wanna further improve

[@TheRealEffThingDeal]

bro, thanks for posting this tutorial !! i learned a lot from this video, by using the white lines as a guide beside the road, basically i used to not to get near the rail as possible, but i'll try to unlearn what i used to do before and try out. and one more thing is the 1.0 and 1.5 (Turbo) i used to decrease acceleration when cornering, but everytime i unaccelerate the control is infrequently, like sometimes fully off the accelerator or on the range before 0.0 btw thank you soo much for this video, already subscribed, liked. thanks man, cheers and have a good day. hope to see you post more video about WMMT ! :D

[@DanteDevilDan]

You're welcome dude, getting close to the guardrail/wall/edge is important when positioning yourself on the road, if you have been driving close to that already then you should adapt quite easily. As for turbo, yeah try first throttling off and on, get a feel for it...then experiment how much to use and how hard down or how much to lift. Glad it helped out for you, more videos are being planned :)

[@PcmciaKai]

I've never seen this game before and I don't know how I got here; all I can say is that I am quite fascinated watching you clear this mountain pass! :D

[@fordgalaxie3695]

This game is extremely fun, you should try it!

[@robi4199]

This is the most short and precise guide i've seen so far. Thanks for making this video. Keep it up.

[@DanteDevilDan]

Thanks dude. More should be on the way if I can get some things organised :)

[@verifeli]

It's actually a universal tutorial for cornering in all track/course. If you could upload a HD WMMT gameplay video... that would be awesome.

[@DanteDevilDan]

Thats the idea :). Even getting through Hakone at a decent time will allow you to nail most other corners of other tracks, developing your driving skill even more :D. This video was originally going to be recorded with a capture card but even with a proposal made sent to the Auckland Timezone arcade it eventually got refused, probably because NAMCO didn't like the idea of me poking some other wires into their HDMI (even though I know exactly what I'm doing)

[@frac7al.]

Amazing detail,I consider myself as a rough player,never focusing on throttle control and only on speed and getting to the first.Never knew that the boost gauge can be a indicator for throttle application.Good video. Do one on C1 Inward if you have the time.All the best!

[@DanteDevilDan]

Thanks a lot man. One idea I had was to demonstrate more on throttle control as a method of steering + calculating how much/little to use so you can nail a corner tight. The throttle is invaluable in the game since the game mechanics never lets the car spin out from oversteer. Good practice is to try and navigate a track without braking and rely only on the throttle. It is do-able and it may not be faster but it will give you much sharper control. If i manage to get back on the game then I will do requests for tracks

[@basicplays1707]

Woah! It's so easy to understand like this.. I'm still having a hard time practicing those foot work and the course itself.. Great video man! Greetings from Philippines! :)

[@DanteDevilDan]

That's fantastic to hear dude. Remember you an apply a lot of what you learn on other racing games. I may make more if I get back on the game again :)

[@jazzmichael7436]

Thanks man

[@dominicvirtudes6593]

3:00 I did that thing of steering just now but imperfect ofcourse because I'm new and I also did the thing in your other video about the pedal

I'm glad to hear that man! :D

[@muhammadnaswan9958]

thanks to you after i look this video to how tackle corners for hakone road..but if i use supercar (Audi R8 & BMW M6) somehow have a little struggle on tight corner but it's ok it still can handle as well..

[@DanteDevilDan]

Europeans are a little tricky to handle I agree. However I am thrilled to hear the video helped you out :). Gaining confidence is a great motivator. Happy Drifting!

[@muhammadnaswan9958]

thanks man..just need few extra care to drift euro car..and wait for new version too which is the real supercar was came out to play.. ^_^

In that sharp curve in inbound you have to step the brake half and gas pedal to drift

[@ct0760]

I love this game but i live so far from a machine that i can only play a couple of times per month, I try to make time and spend a few hours with a machine if i can, but I feel like even though I've maxed out my car and have done ok in battles, I dont get nearly the amount of practice that i would like, so this helps a little, i hope more videos like yours come out

[@DanteDevilDan]

I get you man. More are being made as explained in the video. Hopefully the new uploads will be as helpful as this one seemed to be :)

[@rzbd]

Thanks you so much dude this helps me a lot specially in Outbound.I never thought that throttle controls would make such a difference at first and now im 8 seconds faster than before.By the way,Does hitting the wall in Inbound too will help or not cuz i accidentally did it and skip some corners a bit faster

[@DanteDevilDan]

No worries my friend, I am happy to hear you shaved time off your pb, eight seconds is a massive difference. Inbound has no wall bumps at all, however Outbound has two. What makes for an overall fast time is pure momentum on Hakone. Skipping a corner with a wall hit may made that corner pass quicker, but the overall time at the end will be affected because any form of impact will slow the car down. The idea of the two Outbound wall hits is to kill your speed quicker than relying on your brake, and do it at an angle so that you can regain the speed just lost much faster. I'll be curious to know your time and what corner you did that on. You can timestamp on my video if you like so I can see.

[@rzbd]

DanteDevilDan im quite a starter in hakone before so my outbound time goes from the bad 2'43 to a 2'35 but normally i go around 2'38s so i consider myself lucky that time because i forced myself to use my ZR1 to the fifth gear in the middle part which usually i sucked.(Around 9:08 ~ 9:20) Now the corner im saying maybe isn't correct because i did it accidentally but im pretty sure its 7:59 because i remember the tight left and the red striped road with the 'going up' type of corner.sadly i forgot my Inbound time but the bump really recovers my speed after the corner so i thought that its faster than before,maybe it is but as you said,it could affect the overall time and rhythm i guess. Anyway thank you so much for replying and have a nice day

[@XeroHavoc]

This game looks like something I could dedicate some serious time into. If I do find it somewhere, then I'll try to remember this video since it taught me quite a few things about the game!

[@DanteDevilDan]

Do you play the game?

5:43 aight imma kansei dorifto edit: Whoever is the driver.., he might be a fujiwara

[@ironkun7304]

Amazing guide, it suits WMMT6 too

[@Addicters6]

What did you mean by minor corrections (4:03)? And how and when should you apply these minor corrections when talking about the whole game meaning every map??

[@DanteDevilDan]

Hey Addicters6 Essentially yes, its a driving style so it can be used any map. Considering Hakone has more importance on corners you are likely to use it more on this track Here is an example: Say you did a perfect turn on Hakone on the first run, but the second run you do the same corner but 3kph too fast in the apex. It would mean you will more than likely hit the wall on the exit. So to avoid this you would ease off the gas and turn away from the wall a little. Thats what I meant by minor corrections, I apologise if it caused some confusion :) Give me a shout if you still aren't sure.

[@Addicters6]

DanteDevilDan Thanks mate i get it now

[@DanteDevilDan]

Thanks dude. Then was this?

[@asvp_jaybee]

Uh last year I think? I used to play at Queens street then lost my Bana Passport :/ Slowly getting back into it haha.

[@DanteDevilDan]

Ahhhh those were the days, yeah man I was the exact same and I had 6 fully dressed cars all A rank. Started again soon after, sucks when that happens. Thats great to hear you're getting back to it, who knows, there maybe more stuff :)

[@asvp_jaybee]

+DanteDevilDan you may have been one of the few I learnt from. I used to just watch people play and saw that they apex every turn. With the Hakone track I kinda taught myself the same boost pressure techniques you use so it was cool seeing that in this vid.

[@DanteDevilDan]

It seems you naturally got it handled dude. Im now back in my AE86 in Sydney, Australia. Who knows I may come across your ghost if I'm lucky

[@jlinaski252]

7:04 0.5 bar on that corner can do it? That's insane!

[@DanteDevilDan]

When you know how to do it you can see the needle in your peripheral vision so without looking and hearing the revs means you can accurately judge how much power to put down :D

[@jlinaski252]

That's unbelievable! Nicely done!

[@DanteDevilDan]

Give it some practice :D. First get the hang of controlling a turn with the throttle and when you get the hang of it you will breeze through corners :D

Mechanics of the game may have changed. I never played on 3 but I imagine if I switched to 3 back then I wouldn't be able to run it like I do on 4. Don't worry dude, practice makes perfect and you will be able to rip up those turns :)

I’m flattered dude, but Im definitely not flawless. In one of my newest videos I confessed that the videos are the result of numerous failed runs. Sometimes it took 2-10 runs to get the capture I wanted for the purpose of making a future video. I’m confident you will improve dude, everyone has power to do so. Best to do it when you are focused and positive.

dantedevildan the video do alot of progress for me right now i mastered the steering but im still training on turbo its okay to see turbo meter?,i always see the turbo cuz my eyes open see everything on display

[@DanteDevilDan]

Swag Ben When starting, yes it's ok to look. I only mean when it comes to battling and confident Time Attack only a glance is more than enough. I suppose it's misleading as you certainly need to look at the meter to see what happens at first. I'm saying when you get the feel of it, you shouldn't look at it. That way you can focus on everything else ☺️

[@khevintokura7650]

Been driving 2jz,and man it sucks at quick turns. It accelerates so fast its skids. Does it have to do with the car as well??

[@justanotheryoutubechannel3102]

Hakone uphill is my FAVORITE course. I despise all the booby traps and tollbooths in the game, but even hakone has some too. I USED TO brake hard running it downhill on that hard right turn, but have found that simply lifting the throttle early and scrubbing speed by skidding is not only doable, but probably faster. If you REALLY want the fastest times, drive god mode so you can see exactly how far you are from obstacles, but I hate it and consider it cheating. Fortunately, even with AT, I'm still better than 95% of fender benders

[@chellokristy1438]

[@rjkwhminecrafter1718]

dude what if I use a 4 speed car

[@DanteDevilDan]

3 gear mostly. Whichever car you are in you would would to be from the second to last gear throughout most of the track. Only on the road that starts the last section for Inbound time attack is the part where it is best to use your last gear. I apologise I didn't cover it, it slipped my mind. I am in the process in making an updated version for all tracks

[@rjkwhminecrafter1718]

DanteDevilDan yes.... I could use my.... van like car

[@rjkwhminecrafter1718]

DanteDevilDan ow yeah... in you're video you put the gear in 2 then 3 then 4 what will happen if you just use gear 4 from the race start until the finish

[@DanteDevilDan]

Hmm. I would need to race one to find out but in my mind I would imagine to shift to 3rd gear and stick to it for most of it. But cars may vary (Like Stingrays and Hiace handle very different)

[@rjkwhminecrafter1718]

[@govinlock8568]

Panzer Ace pros (FC): good handling cons: low acceleration but if you want the casual cars, all choice is okay. just choose one you liked and learn the behaviour. only five aspects of the car will be different each other: power, weight, handling, dimension and number of gears.

[@ceramicchalice45]

Dante, please tell me there are more 5dx cards in Australia. Here in the Philippines all the 5dx banapassports are sold out in all the arcades i know. And what arcade do you go to? I'm gonna go to Australia for the summer. Let's battle if we meet :)

[@DanteDevilDan]

Oh I'm sorry to hear that, I've never heard about banas running out. Yeah in Australia we have loads being sold and I race occasionally at City Amusements, Market City, Sydney. Word of warning though I maybe moving somewhere else within a couple of weeks.

[@ST1CKSS]

Hey dud im curious cuz in 1 card how many vehicles is allowed is it 1 or more

[@Addicters6]

Is it true for the whole game for every map that the less you steer (either on a straightaway or a turn) the less speed you lose?

[@DanteDevilDan]

Yes overall. For Time Attack your steering has to be calculated and smooth. Don't steer any more than you need to to keep your speed up. If you do Wangan Westbound or Eastbound this will become more noticeable because the speeds are much higher.

[@Ryjin210]

Hey Dante you know any Techniques to practice The 1.5 turbo meter? i used to manage my linings in tracks though but Im having trouble with the turbo meter... sometimes i use "Gas release & Early turn" instead of brakes.... btw i subbed bro thanks for the tips

[@DanteDevilDan]

Hmmm. Try using it on turns where you usually let off the gas. You may find you can carry over more speed in some turns in the game or as a way to accelerate from an approaching barrier. Hakone has it more frequently so you have plenty of experimenting opportunities. If you're not comfortable with that track then by all means give my first suggestion a go. And thank you very much for subbing :D

[@Ryjin210]

[@smkapalawiyah.noufah6537]

Hello Dante. May I ask. I'm gonna make a competition with my friend . He use FD and I Z34 at Hakone course. In this situation will the cornering machine win or what??? . But your video very helpful to me. Now i dunno what to do . Because I have the Z only not the AE86. Can you tell me what i have to do?? I really appreciate if you reply . ^_^

[@DanteDevilDan]

Depends what you mean. The FD is the most balanced car in the game and from what Ive heard the Z has decent speed but little inferior in cornering. Like I said I haven't driven the Z so I'm going on opinion from a friend.

[@gamevirus01]

you should do one on osaka, i am running bnr32, the very first red turn always screw me up because I am entering at 310+

[@gamevirus01]

also any tips on how to time your turns? since you have to turn early on maximum tune to get the best speed out of every corners

[@DanteDevilDan]

+gamevirus01 I have done one for Osaka on my channel in a Black/Purple RX-8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnWvdaSoq9yZapo Firstly you have know what horsepower as that will correspond to when you have to turn and at what angle. If you are used to the size of your car you will know where the front is and along with that know how close you can be. If you are struggling to perfect your timing then you can always use reference points. They can be markings on the road or when you go past a pole. Or watch how others do it (or how not to do it), to be honest when I wasn't using trial and error to drive around a track I was carefully watching other drivers.

[@takumifujiwara7098]

Okay but what about the tofu huh.

[@NyomanNana_sr]

What if we hold and release the pedal quickly and repetitively?

[@DanteDevilDan]

Check out my video on throttle control, that should explain things better.

[@helloimvon]

So you have to be takumi?

[@FkNSRS]

LOL im just about to do another tutorial huehuehuehueheuheuheu

[@DanteDevilDan]

+FkNSRS Go for it dude :)

[@naufalridhomaulana9228]

how did i set the power : handling ratio if my FD had done 25-30 chapter ? FD's weakness is its narrow torque that i feel sluggished every after cornering

[@DanteDevilDan]

Hmmm only thing I can think of is the vehicle size profile. The FD is heavier then the 86 and the 86 cannot block very well at all. So if a car is heavier then it would make sense it maybe a tiny bit sluggish at turning

[@joeyvenal7304]

That reminds me I need to tune my evo

[@DanteDevilDan]

@Joey... Good Idea. However even a 600BHP car is useful to give u enough time to learn the course in case you're not sure. Rip up that track dude ;)

[@RSheng69]

nani ?! kansei dorifto ?!

[@CETM1308]

is hakone the same in every version of wmmt?? we only have wmmt2 where i live.

[@DanteDevilDan]

Early versions have the Inbound AND Outbound together but later ones are seperate and unchanged

[@Desh681]

I got a 830 DG car, and semi-good at drifting; still need lots of practice. What HP should i use for Hakone? Is it a good idea to stick to a HP setup no matter the map? I feel i need practice with just one setup. It throws me off when i have to suddenly get used from a high grip car to a high speed one.

[@DanteDevilDan]

Magic 740-760hp is best for Hakone. You want to be able to corner with some slide plus have that power on the straights

[@Desh681]

I tried it, and damn, i actually did pretty good! I don't know why but 760hp feels drastically different to 740; gonna stick with Balanced as much as i can. I'm gonna have to practice using brakes and throttle control. I've been unconsciously half-pressing the accelerator, but i honestly thought that was just me letting go of the accelerator completely; thought the pedals were just a switch, not based on sensitivity. Also...what speed (from 3th gear) do i need to get to, to switch to 4th gear?

[@aych0630]

this is initial d BGM lah, (space boy)

[@DanteDevilDan]

Yes. All music titles are shown at the bottom left when it starts

[@raiden_a_u_9721]

is it okay to use 830 hp on this map or it is only on maximum 760 hp that can turns much faster than 830 hp???

[@DanteDevilDan]

740-760 is recommended for making use of the best of speed and handling. It is possible to do it on 830 and actually that would be a great test on using throttle control seeing as how slidey it is :)

[@thadriv3r]

Nice driving!! Just to ask something that's prolly already been asked before, but do u do left foot braking?

[@DanteDevilDan]

+TheGTAPhreak Ive never been asked that lol. Yes I do. Heel and toe isn't necessary with the mechanics of the game since, lets be honest. its highly unrealistic lol

[@thadriv3r]

+DanteDevilDan i'll give left foot braking a try next time I play! have been braking with my gas foot cos i just liked that slightly more "real" feel even tho yea its unrealistic

[@DanteDevilDan]

+TheGTAPhreak Its great technique, but only when the game has a 'simulated' feel rather than 'arcade'... 90% of the game is about high speed turning, no need to heel and toe. Hakone won't need it either but feel free to try and see what works for you :)

[@donnysyahputra2195]

Waoo this help me so muuuch~ thaanks xD

[@Ltp1305]

And here I am, still playing with a stock Tureno for giggles ... #Sad :'(

[@jericodawsonmarcos7529]

The Mad Kitten power is not everything

[@Syclomist]

i like that skill

[@fivewayfashionofficialrobl3454]

But... I choose throttle control over breaking in hakone. Also, is 720HP the best for hakone?

[@DanteDevilDan]

For TA, you have to brake a few times. 720 should be good for battles so you can regain some grip against your rivals but not the best for time attack run as you lose the speed on the straights. Plus, the timing has to change slightly since 760 & 740 rely on sliding round each corner

[@fivewayfashionofficialrobl3454]

@@DanteDevilDan ah, understood. But I see others play 680HP and somehow manage to overtake me at times. Any tips?

[@georgedeverajr3184]

I have a question is it good to use single hand when racing?

[@DanteDevilDan]

Hmm it’s not a recommended style as it limits precision and control of the wheel. It’s not necessary to have a hand on the shift at all times. I mean it’s not impossible and it can be pulled off, but it’s a different way and not worth going out of your way to learn ☺️.

[@SuperOtakuKid]

Hey bro, mind telling me if the Toyota 86 is any good for any game mode and how well it takes corners/accelerates? Really appreciate an answer, thanks!

[@SuperOtakuKid]

Or do you think a corvette zr1 would be nicer?

[@DanteDevilDan]

Truthfully I haven't driven the GT86 yet and my Corvette ZR1 is currently getting dressed up slowly. ZR1 is a good car but I think its a car that is a little misguided at times because the nose is low, I find it quite easy to hit the front of the guardrail because I think at first I have enough room, when actually i don't. As for GT86, I haven't been in but I have raced a couple head to head and it looks quite solid on the road. After I dress up my Skyline R34 and Corvette ZR1 I will make a modern version of my AE86 with the GT :)

[@SuperOtakuKid]

+DanteDevilDan Sweet! Thanks man!!
