Thumper (PS4) - Level 5-6 - S Rank

You are my hero

[@sahmo2672]

Hi, did you manage to fly and turn while staying in the air? to take the blue rings for rank S like for example at 0:57 I thought I understood that you had to hold the joystick to the left or right just before a white square then up+X but I can't do it

[@tinyrat5542]

@@sahmo2672After some practice, yes. A perfect turn is achieved by turning immediately before the corner, rather than turning ahead in preparation for it, you'll hear a hear a metallic twang when you get the timing right. You just need to jump (hold X/A button) and flick the joystick in the right direction. It's a bit fiddly especially when you're tense but it's not at bad as it looks. Good luck!

@@tinyrat5542 Thank you very much for your answer! finally I managed to get the S rank without having to do the perfect turns but at least the next time I will know ;)

I'm happy one person thinks so!

THANKSSSS

How do you fly still after turning -_-? It makes me go back on the track after... even if i still hold up

[@GilMeansJoy]

You need to do what's called a perfect turn. You don't need to hold Up once you take flight, just X (or A on Xbox controller on PC). Instead of leaning into the turn in advance, you need to tap in Left or Right in time with the barrier. It can be a big challenge!

Wasn't really even aware of the perfect turn mechanic until this level as I'm trying to get S on every level and this is the first time it is required, I believe. Thanks!

@@GilMeansJoy THANK YOU for this commentary! You just saved my S-rank! Turn and fly is very difficult! Thanks!

[@GilMeansJoy]

@@fporanges Happy to help!

[@fporanges]

@@GilMeansJoy Thank you very much! If I leave behind a level with an A or B score, for example, will I need to redo the entire level sequence? I left one like that behind, and I didn't want to do it all over again. Hahaha Thanks for help! (And sorry my English, I'm Brazilian).

[@platinumpatience5307]

It was the perfect turns that was stuffing me up. Didn't even know they were a mechanic until this level! Thanks. If I may, can I ask how are you getting ads on this video when you don't have the 4000+ hours watch-time?

[@GilMeansJoy]

I had no idea there were ads on the video. I'm definitely not making any money from KZbin.

[@Cinder-kun]

How do you fly and turn? Do you know how to do that on the switch yet?

[@GilMeansJoy]

Hi! I answered how to do perfect turns on the other comment. I know nothing about the Switch, but the mechanic should be exactly the same.

[@Cinder-kun]

@@GilMeansJoy ok thank you!
