[@atrillicx3508]

@@garyt1484 trade what?

[@Inimigor1]

Initially I felt there was kind of a difference in wheight for cars, when hitting the ball or hitting another player, to me the Gizmo and Scarab felt the lightest, you get thrown very far if hit by any car, while Grog felt to me as one of the heaviest cars in the game. Is there anything that backs this "sensation" I have, or at least someone who feels the same way about the wheight of the cars?

[@SirTimbers]

I believe all cars weigh 10 times the weight that the ball weighs. Honestly though until the devs release the numbers we won't be positive

[@Kntrytnt]

I agree with you man. I always treat the Merc and Grog as "bully" cars because I can almost always win pushing others around, whereas in my experience, I feel the Esper is the lightest car, just getting bumped seems to send this car flying.

[@NyrocAxios]

I have had this sensation before. After using the breakout for maybe 400 or so matches, I tried out the hotshot and felt like I couldn't move the car the way I desired. I think the feeling of weight has more to do with the hitbox of the cars and with the user getting used to one shape over another. Getting sent flying farther, for example, may be due to a person's assumption that the shape of their car is the same as the shape of the car they usually use in matches. Then the height difference between these two cars would account for the different reaction.

[@ThaEzzy]

Yeah, this bothers me a lot. I really like the hitbox of the Marauder, but if I go from the Marauder to the Vulcan (which has worse turn speed and radius) I feel faster and lighter and I can't figure out why. Sometimes I feel like maybe it's just a placebo feeling as a function of the engine sound and visual design but I also tend to go for more aerials where the opponent beats me than I usually do with the 'heavier' cars.

[@ThaEzzy]

After this i felt like taking a stopwatch and just measuring some stuff. For the most part the differences are really subtle, but I'm a little confused about the fact that I measured the time it took to just drive across the narrow part of the field and I measured 3 times for the Marauder, Dominus GT, and Vulcan respectively. Marauder got 6.20, 6.17, 6.18. Vulcan got 6.20, 6.16, 6.18. The Dominus GT got 6.06, 6.08, 6.08. I did this by eye so take it with a grain of salt, but it was on the same map, the same line, and just holding R2. I would love to see some stricter testing than just 'that one guy from reddit' (who is admittedly more thorough than me) with the turn radius and hitboxes.

[@Maxificent]

Could you make a video comparing the keyboard control scheme to the controller control scheme? Maybe discuss some pros and cons in the same way you did with the cars on this video?

[@GrimmerPl]

Maxificent Pros of keyboard - easier freestyle. Pros of controller - everything else. IMHO case closed.

[@Maxificent]

Thanks

[@sorcier9167]

Grimmer did explain it right but not detailed. TLDR; Controllers are better, yes, but why you may ask? Keyboard keys have a set speed; if your car can accelerate from 0-100 they will only go 75(not the right numbers, but the logic they follow). Controllers can go from any speed; from crawling to speeding at a full 100. Same thing with air rolls, turning, everything! Controllers are more precise. Keyboards are definite hits, but its hard to adjust with them. To go slow you'd need to constantly tap the W key to go different speeds, but they are better for freestyling because they have a set set of keys (ex. w+q+z for twist, w+1+7 for forward, etc.); kind of like typing in a code. A good example is doing half flips with a keyboard vs a controller.

[@firewisplet8275]

Pros of keyboard: They don't suck

[@giithuub7515]

I learned a half-flip with K+M within 2 minutes. Freestyling is a pain in the ass but also possible if you played long enough to train your motor learning skills (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_learning)

[@wallthemart]

Nicely edited well informed vid. You deserve it sir

[@laomenin]

With the Octane, you missed a huge reason. The Octane produces so much power from a shot if you hit with the front due to the flat and high-ish bumper. The ball gains only around half the height as a normal hit from a car like the breakout which makes it easier to get a lot more power in your shot and not need to flick. Other cars do this but not at the same rates as the Octane and the Octane does this the best. As the Octane is popular and has that advantage, using the Octane will mean that the opponent doesn't get to be the only one with the advantage.

[@loganreed7493]

[@plochiede6575]

I feel that too much height contributes as well; when I use the Merc, I often lose sight on the ball or the field because the height. Most of the popular cars don't have a lot of height, and the Dominus has that tail, which adds to the height, but you can still see through it. Players like to be able to see what's going on, and a taller car blocks your field of view more.

I'm always switching back and forth between the dominus and octane since both of them have their pros and cons.

I'm primarily a Takumi user but was an Octane user originally until the Takumi came out, recently I've experimented with other cars like the Artemis from Rocket Pass 2 or the Centio and Diestro, I really liked the Centio when I was in Silver 3 but I've been running the Diestro since promotion to Gold 1 and I've only lost 3 out of my last 10 matches and got MVP in all but 1 of the wins, having a car you actually like plays a big psychological part in your success on the field

[@EricLino]

You went straight to the point. It all comes down to finding a car that doesn't hurt your advantages and adds to you weaknesses. For me, the Merc is one of the beat out there. Really. I tend to make very accentuated which makes dribbling harder for me. However, the tall hitbox of the Merc gives me the extra split second before the ball goes off, allowing me to correct my movement and finish the play. Is it the best car around? Certainly not for everyone. But if you're like me and drive like Maggie on The Simpson's intro, then it might help you out while you get better at things.

Honestly, I think "flat" cars (Breakout, Batmobile...) are easier to learn on... I started off with Octane at first, but I just didn't like the way it goes through air and I just felt like I have absolutely no control over it. And then I switched to Breakout and I was amazed by how suddenly simple aerials are... Might be just me. I mean, I see many people playing VERY well with cars that I never would even think of playing with such as X-Devil... Bottom line, try them all... Find your style...

[@shello912]

This. Switching to the Dominus made the game so much easier for me early on.

[@RJBeee91]

Yeah, I have about 200 hours on RL, all on octane. Just switched to Dominus and my air game specifically has improved dramatically. I may at one point switch back to Octane, but I'd recommend anyone who only uses Octane to give the Dominus or Breakout a go for a bit.

[@jacobdean6989]

DaSpoody same finally someone else. eiether X-Devil or Breakout type s for me ;)

[@lukebaker8235]

I just switched to the Breakout type S from the Batmobile because I needed a more relaxing boost.

What a great video thank you

[@_.mqtthew]

[@vinople4260]

Ovex Same here

[@brysondean6707]

I strictly use that and the Deloreon

[@mattstone4914]

Gtr for life

[@suniro]

Matt Stone i use it too

[@quoo4493]

Actually a great car. *9.35/10*

[@miguelmarques8593]

Another factor is the beutiness of the car, maybe they see the car and they are like "Oh, this car looks cool, let's test it out" and they stick with it. The octane for example has those balanced stats but even on the defaut, no decal, no anything it's a cool car. the xdevil seemed cool to me so i used for a bit. Same with breakout. And the breakout fits my style. If your favourite car is the octane or the breakout like this comment and let people see this.

[@umarkhan-bw5de]

Miguel Marques I play with breakout because it looks so similar to the secret car (not licensed ) in need for speed 2 special edition

[@EzyoMusic]

I don't like the aesthetic of the Breakout at all. I would probably use the Dominus if I had it, but for aesthetics I really dig the Backfire and have used it a lot for this reason.

[@yknse1708]

I use breakout mainly cause it helps me hit bicycle shots and it's just easier to dribble with it but I'd use dominus if I had it

[@aquasoul_2602]

Same here but with the dominus

[@uguook]

Imo the breakouts pretty low and long. That helps me when dribbling so that I can keep the ball on my car, and it doesn't just slide off in front like the octane or other cars. Plus I'm still on the practicing stage for aerials and I FEEL that the breakout makes it easier. Could be placebo, could not. IDK I just prefer the breakout

[@eltehmp4396]

I really like the samurai as it is so flat the hit box feels natural to the way the car looks

[@Cs4GG]

Thanks for the tip ill use it wisely

[@bobbutts4402]

I've used the Merc since day 1. I will never change.

[@t-veloxity-t5278]

Bob Butts I got a import painted merc :)

[@infinityggg]

I used octane alot then I was like wtf is this to the merc and used it it felt so weird for a massive van to just... fly? Then it one of the best cars I ever have

[@themainmanray874]

He's talking about hitboxes and all I'm doing is picking up my jaw in awe at all the aerial shots in the video lol.

[@marius2643]

The Batmobile and Breakout are like the "Samus Battleship" (german: Samus Kampfschiff) Only for Nintendo Switch.
