Everything You Need to Know to be Super Fast on MX vs ATV Legends

[@theghostoftupac2662]

Hell yeah dude there is a major shortage of comprehensive technique videos for this game. I learned a lot from your sx best lines videos so it’s pretty sick you’re making vids on this game.

[@hostilecarrot]

I really appreciate your kind words. I learned to get fast on Milestone games "the hard way" - basically just grinding out time trial until my eyes bled. Like, you know how long it took me to dial in corner scrub without a tutorial? FOREVER. Fortunately, when I started on MX vs ATV Legends I had some friends who were already fast that helped me get going. Regardless, it was a privilege for me to put out content that will allow people to learn the easy way. Comments like yours make me know all the effort was worth it, so I appreciate it a lot.

[@Shooobe]

This video alone made me go from last place to making people rage quit when I passed them… You are a legend for this video

[@hostilecarrot]

@@Shooobe so psyched it helped bro!

[@Chrissorox]

Super handy video cheers mate. I just got the game on sale and thought I was getting massively skill checked at the start. Bots were clearing jumps and I could barely make the smaller ones, whacked on the acceleration upgrade and utilized the clutch a lot more out of turns and even on landings for that boost of speed and it's a different game already.

[@clarkosborn]

Really good video bro. You do a good job telling how to do things and explaining why and also showing what it looks like on the screen.

[@Makron5]

This video's tuning section took me from dying and struggling in my MX vs ATV career mode where it felt like I had done everything wrong and everyone was faster than me and now I've got a super fast demon bike that can actually take the bumps and such. The tuning is really important and the stock tune seems horrible, esp if you decide to tune top speed because you think the bars mean something, I was hurting myself with stage 1 top speed. I kept my box on auto because clicking sticks kinda sucks and the AI is probably using auto as well so it's "fair". But yeah, supercross and rhythm were killing me until I found out that the tunes were so important. Also this video taught me that there's even more techniques to this game and to lean back a bit more. With my bike setup and some extra techniques that assure I don't just get ruined by everything, I'm feeling more confident and having more fun with pretending to be a dirt bike racing star.

[@hostilecarrot]

Very glad youve found it helpful, hoping to do an advanced techniques video soon, stay tuned!

[@carsonduncan6594]

1st person is so much easier to rail corners however it’s hard to adjust to what’s in front of you so it’s 50/50 what’s better. Auto is fine but you legit have to clutch boost every other second and it works.

[@ReklessStandard]

Thats what kinda sucks about legends, i wish they would work on the bikes speed and open up the tuning alittle more. I was playing with the pro physics on, but i recently have been playing with it off it feels more natural to be honest.

[@jessewillenburg7202]

This deserves more likes. The comedy was on point and learned alot. You got a sub from me

[@1Leeky-]

U explaining when to clutch boost was funny

[@franzlaman]

Great video, learned a lot, I find I’m better at using the first person view, but still have a long way to go, make too many mistakes and costly when racing, lots of great info, thanks

[@tommylee9339]

In the air, the stick flip forward can be done like 10 times, but mostly only on the way up, it can be used to cheese big lines. Third gear seems to have the most noticable effect in the air, first gear has almost no effect

[@hostilecarrot]

Great points here, thanks for the extra tips!

[@tommylee9339]

Also, holding the left stick down (sit) while clutch boosting increases the intensity of the clutch boost. I also ride 250 two strokes, clutch boost is stronger than the four strokes and it has way faster handling

[@hostilecarrot]

@@tommylee9339 this might be something I do subconsciously or I honestly may not have realized this yet. Either way, I look forward to giving it a try next time I am on. Thanks again for the helpful tips!

[@RichMaxwell]

"... if you're remotely normal." That cracked me up. Lol

[@jaspersimonds343]

This is a great beginner tutorial!!! I would say don't just spam the clutch boost, because it will shoot you off the track. Use it when you are in control and slowly figure out when is a good time... I see new guys clutch boosting in the corners and shooting off the track all the time.

[@hostilecarrot]

I was kinda being facetious there but you are totally right, if you clutch boost before a corner you will shoot otb for sure. I just meant use it as much as you possibly can without crashing. Thanks for watching and I really appreciate the kind words.

[@codymcwhorter1]

Brotha that was supper helpful and I appreciate your patience! I hope I run into you online and we could do a chill lobby/ride around. Thank you 🙏 and keep the positive vibes coming! I’m subscribed and look forward to more. Maybe we could link up on goat farm or slayground

[@jcurtisnum1]

Sweet I’m definitely going to try the clutch boost and soft suspension I’ve been running the opposite on those both, and manual definitely

[@hostilecarrot]

Yes bro absolutely use clutch boost and manual shifting. Suspension is all about feel, see what gets you more comfortable and run it!

[@Champkdub]

Im a stock rider right now, thx for the tips im gonna tune my bikes

[@the_silent_kage4999]

Why do whenever I get on them little bumps I lose so much speed while everyone else flying though it cuz they ain’t tell me shit in the tutorial

[@hostilecarrot]

Watch my newest video showing the fast lines on every supercross track. I explain the easiest way to hit the whoops fast at the beginning of the video

[@JordanMaille22]

When I’m going over a jump do I only need to hold down the right stick and clutch at the apex of the jump?

[@ReklessStandard]

So 2 things for me out of every moto game ive ever played, i just can not get used to the manual shifting at all. Ive tried it before, i just cant use it. The alternative i do is im actually really smooth and i have great clutch and throttle control and that makes up the acceleration you usually get when you use manual. It works for me. And the second thing, this preference is not for everybody but first person with max FOV is probably one of the comfortable cameras in the game. Now adays my attention spand is pretty low compared to how i used to game back then. I used to be really good but over time ive lost that skill. But overall, great tutorial for the game. My only difference is camera, automatic shifting and tuning. Before season 2, i was running really good tunes untill rainbow started changing the physics. But still great video.

[@hostilecarrot]

First person on MX vs ATV Legends is spectacular. For the top players, it may not work as well but its great. I know I was faster in first person than third when I started on the game but I eventually got more comfortable in third person. Im kinda kicking myself for not talking about 1st person in the video so I appreciate you bringing it up!

[@VaeliusNoctu]

Hello, is it Possible you mean the Honds CRF 450R? I dont found any S Bike.

[@hostilecarrot]

Yes the CRF450R, good catch!

[@VaeliusNoctu]

@@hostilecarrot Thx, good to know. Then im Happy i upgraded my bike.

[@ookoo007]

I just wanna ride dirt bike in open world, a this is too much information for me. Good game, but too difficult to race in carrer for me... Nice video, i will try your tips and try learn more, but when you cant get first in begginer mode in one hour, then it is no fun for me. I am first and every time i carsh or in upp hill too slow, cant jump soo good as others...

[@williambowman834]

Does anyone use single stick control or is everyone using the duel? Just asking because I'm having trouble using both sticks.

[@hostilecarrot]

Gotta use both sticks mate for sure

[@williambowman834]

@hostilecarrot alright that's what I figured thanks for the heads up. I think first I gotta figure out how to drive mauel transmission.

[@williambowman834]

@@hostilecarrot this game is really alot harder then I thought it was going to be

Can you take off the green line on the track

[@bugsbee58]

nice video , the game is more complex than people realize :P

[@hostilecarrot]

So true, when you see highlight reels from the good players this game looks so easy. Takes a lot of play time to get to that level.

Great video carrot!

Thank you for watching 🙌🙌🙌

[@alexclegg5797]

Is there a way to speed up the time it takes to recover after wrecking?

[@hostilecarrot]

Start holding the B button as soon as you realize you are about to crash

[@austinjones4425]

i use auto shifting and im usually the fastest guy in the lobby

[@EMGge]

Clutch slipping wasn't discussed. People just spam the clutch boost button and still don't realize there's more mechanics to the clutching system.

[@williamdistasio9358]

For outdoor, I agree with your settings except for two of them: I run my tires on normal default. I used to run them on sticky 2 or sticky 3 just like you, but I need to slide around turns, especially Outdoors. Just that change alone improved my times by one or two seconds on every track outdoors, and I'm already pretty darn fast. The other thing is my suspension is 3 all the way to the right. It's pretty rare that I find players that can hang with me, and when I do, it's a joy! And there are players that are so much faster than me, which makes me wonder how the hell are they that fast? You are absolutely right. You have to be in manual transmission in order to be fast. You just have to. But the ONE thing that really opened up fast for me......was using the manual camera on the "Chase Far" setting and pulling it back as far as it will go so that I'm looking at my bike and it looks kind of small cuz I'm far away from it. This way you get a really good field of view and you can see everything the other thing I can only suggest to make people really fast as you have to have to have to be looking ahead. It's almost like you're zoning out in a way you have to kind of use your peripheral vision and be looking ahead on the track at all times otherwise you're just going to be slow as fuck. But, make sure you're always quickly looking back at what's directly in front and under you, or you'll make a mistake and get tossed off the seat, lol I usually use the 2021 CRF but I have them all.

Amazing video, but just add more detail on how to scrub properly. The scrubs didnt look amazing but they also didnt work for me

[@Rothko-xw1te]

also learn how to whip properly

[@fallrivers743]

got the game on pc about 4 days ago 2 of which have been spent in online play, and so far the community for this game has been... just yikes. the discord is dead and the only people i've been able to go up against are in public lobbies in small numbers (me and two other riders on average), and most just ram and push each other off the track and have zero racing etiquette or respect, and the others just fly by everyone race after race until the playlist hits a track they aren't good at and then leave, and if they don't and you beat them they might get get pissy (surprised myself and cooked a guy who had beaten me 4 races in a row, he left just before he got a dnf and i later received a dm on steam with a very "lovely" message in it). idk dawg maybe i've just been getting unlucky with public lobbies but if your on pc and not like those i've mentioned above i'd love to hop on and play with you sometime, god knows you'd be saving me a headache XD. besides all that great vid, though i gotta know... how much exactly do the bikes differ in performance and handling from one another, and is it something to watch out for when picking one up?

[@rainbowstudiosgames]

Great video, Carrot!

[@Gleamer17]

Was there anyone involved with this game that actually rides dirt bikes? I really struggle to understand why a 450 in 2nd gear at 20 mph accelerates like a pw50 in sand or why you have to spam the clutch like an 85cc 2 stroke. Also get rid of the stupid animations. When you case a jump you either crash or you don't. You don't just sit on the bike and let go of the handle bars. This game could've been so good. Instead we got whatever this is.

[@firsttitlegaming3156]

Good stuff

[@Callum_harvey22]

Dam you’re super fast teach me please

[@hostilecarrot]

Well you are in luck bro cause you commented on the tutorial video

You can go fast on any bike, trust me when i say honda is a myth.

[@BaeHelpTrey]

Ur wrong

[@zBOUNTYx]

@Trey_.z The fastest pc times are not set on a honda, I regularly podium tournament races, and I don't run the honda. Trust me, you can run with any bike and go fast.

[@tthxndermx]

with the new 2023 models theres not particularly a really quick bike over the other @@BaeHelpTrey

[@williamdistasio9358]

​@@zBOUNTYxyeah that's all good and well and I have this game on every single platform but there's nobody playing online races on PC. And if you tell me you're jumping on and finding races all the time with full lobbies you would be lying so you probably are coming in first every time because you're either racing by yourself or only one other person if you're fucking lucky on PC lol. I find there are the most Racers on on Xbox series X and I find it to be the smoothest and my fastest times are on the PC and PS5

[@andrewk2586]

Did they seriously just recycle tracks from older games?

[@hostilecarrot]

No. There was a throwback track DLC but this game has had a significant amount of entirely new content.

[@williamdistasio9358]

​@@hostilecarrotyeah agree! The developers have been doing a super fantastic job with this game! I do wish that they would make a first person view race Lobby only that would be kind of cool because even though I do race in third person and I'm very fast I'm just as fast and first person and wish I could get in a Lobby where I knew for certain that everybody was in it. It would just make things more fair. And also I do not like that they don't include every single outdoor track in the rotation when online racing. They said that every couple of weeks or once a month or something they were going to change the tracks up but they haven't been doing that the outdoor tracks have been the same rotation for the last few months. Like there's no coffee Hill and a couple of the other ones they have left out

[@hostilecarrot]

@@williamdistasio9358 first person view online lobbies would be sick for sure, this game plays excellent in first person but it sucks feeling like you are at a disadvantage! I wasn't aware about the national track rotation. You should join the MX vs ATV discord and give them some of your feedback. Rainbow Studios is very responsive there!

[@williamdistasio9358]

@@hostilecarrot oh, no doubt! Thanks for that. I've left messages on Rainbow and Nordic on Twitter/X before, but I have never gotten a response there. Yeah, if enough of us let them know we'd like a 1st person only lobby, maybe they'd listen. Otherwise, I love the races, just wish the lobbies were consistent and you should get penalized I think, if a person rage quits too many games in a row 😆. Do you play with other riders your level and do races on Discord? What's your favorite system to play on? I'm probably fastest on PS5 tbh.
