Thank you for providing a monkey touch monolith moment for me. While I had grasped the concept of air-braking...kinda, I had no idea what I was doing wrong for U-turns. It turns out I was on the right track, I just wasn't going diagonally enough. It's like Harry Potter, you gotta go DIAGONALLEY for it to register.
@DragonSoulSC4 жыл бұрын
Very informative and useful. I would say that the hardest part is coordinate your button presses so you don't end up braking by accident, losing the reserves. But its good to know how it works so i can take a better advantage of it. Thanks man!
@getreadybecause4 жыл бұрын
The real problem is when trying it with the joysticks, if you haven't "agile" thumbs it's hard to keep that diagonal direction at that specific point, a slightly move of the joystick and you lose not just the blue fire but the entire turn itself.

Surprisingly I had no idea what U-Turning was until I had already beaten 30 of the dev time trials. I play on the Switch and didn't even know there was a difference between Air-Brake and U-Turn. I Needed to learn U-Turn for Turbo Track, Hot Air Skyway, Thunderstruck, and Drive-Thru Danger. I managed to beat all other tracks with out U-Turn. Definitely a huge advantage to know how to now though! Thanks for the vid!
@Lord-Void-Fate-Demonic4 жыл бұрын
This is an excellent video. I never knew or understood the air brake input until you broke it down. I was wondering why that happened sometimes. So now I know it’s just the U-turn command sequence but without the down input and that it can only be done if your kart is airborne. Thank you for constructing this. -- I also utilize a Hitbox to play CTRNF, so it was cool to see Velo make an appearance and for the Hitbox controller to get some love. 😁🔥🖤

Well, I've been doing it all wrong. Seems like it's easiest to do on PS4 as the d pad buttons are crunched together. Whereas on the Switch and Xbox One, the directional buttons are pretty spaced. I guess you could angle the analog stick as well, but lacking the crevices to help direct a down left or down right can make it challenging.

To say that good players primarily don't use air break might be a bit of a stretch even though u-turning definitely is necesarry in some places.

@numberjuaanctr4204 жыл бұрын
Honestly air brake is only. Really good on cortex castle and maybe maybe clockwork wumpa just because of the abrupt sharp angles but after this last patch they fixed the wall collision and hit detection with karts and such so u turning might just be the go to now also air brake can help in maintaining a certain speed in several tight right corners and than letting it all out in one big burst of speed but again the only track I can think of that really uses this to its max is cortex castle other than that yea you’re right u turning is the better of the two

Like he said, it's easier to pull off using a D-Pad since it can go precicely diagonally compared to the sticks. If the Joycon buttons don't work for you, you may want to invest in a Pro controller that has an actual D-Pad.

@duelz93664 жыл бұрын
Tomasz Kuzior hey dude I can suggest a few ideas. 1. Learn to use the d-pad instead of of the analog stick. Maybe use it of only when you u-turn and switch back and forth. 2. Aim to flick the analog stick and then let go of everything. Having a more loose grip on the left side of the controller really helped for me as well. 3. Before you uturn push the analog stick down then either slide it slightly to the left or right to u-turn that way. Let me know how you go man! Good luck!!
