You can't race clean in WMMT

[@djtroopers]

Remember, WMMT is an ARCADE racer, not simulator. Wangan's clean racing is different than sim/simcade racing.

[@xxCxxExxxxxEx]

Wmmt is more like a fighting game than a racing game and this is a compliment

[@djtroopers]

Best way to describe the game. WMMT is not your ordinary arcade racer 😂

[@DragonSStuff600]

A fighting game with pedals, steering wheel and shifter😂

[@IchimanVRSNA5]

Tbh I don’t mind the bumping and blocking in WMMT, but damaging the machine is the thing I’d want to fully avoid

[@djtroopers]

Agreed. Excessively slamming, shifting hard, tap buttons hard or stepping on pedals with force is a massive don't for any player.

[@r3uvsgaming]

​@@djtroopersarcades should actively punish or ban players who do that

[@redbunn2282]

Yeah and also those Machines arent easy to get especially for the parts because i feel bad for the staffs who have to do maintenance check on those machines and other people who gets their turn didnt get to enjoy because someone else damaged the machine

[@user-qs4db1gu8v]

I've met a cool guy in Tokyo Akihabara, with a nice 300zx! We burst in to laughs and just don't really care about clean or not (but not blocking, brake checking, since we respect each other). Just having Fun pal!

[@djtroopers]

Agree, everyone should be able have fun regardless of playing style.

[@towerdefenceplayer]

I tend to focus more on lines and learn which courses I could cut through traffic from the sides. It’s strategy but I’ll still end up hitting into traffic at the final corners of the race against high grade players😅

[@djtroopers]

Pressuring rivals by slaloming through traffic is an effective counter strat when done right.

[@user-nx2ci2gn9q]

You can make everyone slam when a pro tries to overtake😂

[@djtroopers]

As some would put it: Slam when necessary, don't slam excessively 😂

[@user-nx2ci2gn9q]

Thats me when somone did me dirty

[@peqch.]

real fact right here, I also see PABST so pro 🙏

[@ROYWMMT]

Great video on this topic 👍

[@alfa563]

makes me remember this one kid who uses his dad's card and drives a Fairlady 240Z he would absolutely slam but racing lines are always absolutely shit so I always passed him through sheer skill alone but the tyke continued to fuckin try and get a single win off me but he just couldnt to the point I actually had to force myself to get off the machine since he was getting angry at me at this point (his poor racing lines was getting worse all in the attempts to slam and block me but would eventually slam the wall of the red turns in C1 which would give me the lead) Think his dad needs to tell some proper manners since he also played with a different card

[@djtroopers]

Racing lines are still important in VS Battles along with the ability to block and counter.

[@djtroopers]

Like IMO you need to learn each map not to necessarily become best at them but to be able to understand them enough to drive without too much error.

[@djtroopers]

I think the kid in your story is terrible in general from poor lining to bad execution of Brake Blocking strategy. I raced a lot of aggressive players on par/better than me in terms of lining & blocking/counterattacks.

[@ak252m]

AMAZING

[@rdtyawiratamaXD123]

Just have fun be respectful, responsible and don't slam, am i right?

[@djtroopers]

Yes.

[@crallylystia1964]

There are two types of drivers. One who uses clean lines and zero mistakes to avoid getting chased down. And the other one will block and crash without care in the world. (Mostly the second one exists)

[@rdtyawiratamaXD123]

Trueeee.....

[@djtroopers]

The 1st type is best suited to boost off racing. Plus runners who are people using lining & soft blocking exist.

[@crallylystia1964]

@@djtroopers the second point reminded me of one battle where I chased him all the way to the end in C1 (he drove nearly perfectly by the way), and a mistake in the end had him sending me to the wall in the final corner. Think he did that by instinct and apologized afterwards. (By the way 3rd place ended up some 800m behind)

[@djtroopers]

@@crallylystia1964 I guess he tricked you into going flat out at the section and then used your car as a cushion to exit final turn, pushing you to the walls in process. Or am I wrong?

[@crallylystia1964]

@@djtroopers nah, he made a mistake hitting a traffic, which killed his speed going into a medium left hander. The only door open was onto the outside and he seemed to block by instinct.

[@leoqu4129]

WMMT: A racing game when you first lay eye A music game when you first sit down A car-PG when you first start story A Fighting game when you first go battle But then you start TAing and high-level battle, it is still a racing game.

[@djtroopers]

Interesting

[@fauxvier8519]

I just suck it up, pick my battles and adapt lol

[@djtroopers]

You have the right mentality for this game 👀

[@lienartoism]

The thing is. Don't impose Forza motorsport or Gran Turismo rules into Maximum Tune games. it's like putting a mayonnaise into an ice cream.

[@demetreusdemarcusdaquontav9817]

Wmmt, where you can see a Hiace and Pajero hoing 320 km/h

[@djtroopers]

Arcade racing game moment

[@ds32_archive]

what legacy model is that

[@djtroopers]

Legacy B4 2.0GT (BL5) introduced in WMMT1. It's a dreadful car to use.

[@PYR0XIII]

@@djtroopersDreadful is an interesting word choice. What’s so dreadful about the car?

[@djtroopers]

​@@PYR0XIII average handling /acceleration, sub-par VS battle strength with weak boost (far from viable) & not good TA performer.

[@jdjGSHBFjh68827]

If people from Reddit can understand simple concepts then this would change WMMT and the community as a whole.

[@djtroopers]

Its not only Reddit, but newcomers, some players from early days, & outsiders who saw the game at first glance.

[@WisnuAdityaIrawan]

Before I played this game, I was one of those douchebags who wants FIA rules to get imposed in WMMT. Of course that's not possible. On the other side, that was the time when I got exposed to some guys' frustration due to excessive slamming and broken hardwares and such. I no longer have that urge. WMMT is WMMT. iRacing is iRacing. NFS Carbon is NFS Carbon. GTR2 is GTR2. I no longer expect clean as f racing from WMMT the way I race in GTR2. Contact is normal and acceptable. The only thing I want to ask from the playerbase is, please be civil. Those hardware are expensive and meant for everyone to play, not just you. Don't break those hardwares. Everyone who plays there wants to play with fully functioning, normal hardware. OR, if you really want to slam excessively as hard and as often as you want, then go get yourself a Logitech or PXN or Leo Bodnar wheel or something.

[@emmanaguilar1707]

S2000!

[@niafmby]

Usually i play casual with the newbie kids trying to grind outrun stars, but when a pro shows up and plays aggressive brake blockings i just play c1 hoping to get a wangan westbound route and just play top speed 😂

[@djtroopers]

Bro playing with newbie kids to grind stars is a bad look, & going out of C1 to Wangan route is a felony. You're going to get shamed to oblivion ☠️

[@niafmby]

@@djtroopers Man, it is what it is, plus pro players dont play often when im at the mall so its a win for me 😂

[@djtroopers]

@@niafmby To each their own. Remember every decision comes with a cost - e.g. if you race clean with handicap off, it comes at cost of close competition.

[@niafmby]

@@djtroopers i have handicap on but i still race clean so yeah

[@djtroopers]

@@niafmby Clean as in running & blocking when needed / clean by racing with fastest lines & avoid making a lot of mistakes?

[@norru9852]

I mean in real battle scenario, you still need LINE to win a race (I mean vs FT Players not some low-level story or GUEST). Slam/Block only will get you far but if you bump every corner and every traffic you probably wont make it far against player who know how to line and block. by the end of the day its still racing game, racing line is still the core of it (hence why people do TA) slam/blocking are just the unique quirk what make this game so fun, as long they don't broke the machine x.x

[@djtroopers]

I agree, even in high level play, you still need lining to do well. Hakone is a good example where players MUST have adequate lines to keep up or risk falling behind by crashing a lot.

[@djtroopers]

That's why its important to do TA to learn a map, improve your lines so you drive without messing up too many times. + brake block / soft block & counter when necessary.

[@djtroopers]

My point is you can't use Perfect TA lines in boost off race because of traffic (ex. Hakone). People expect perfect lining since boost off is meant to be Maxi's clean race meta.

[@djtroopers]

But at the end of day, lining is crucial to win and so is adapting to situations regardless of VS metas - FFAs, 1v1s, 2v2s (block & run) / Boost off (adapt lines to traffic e.g).

[@Whotfcares1254]

By "boost off" did you mean "handicap off"?

[@djtroopers]

Yes. Boost off is an alternate term for Handicap Off. The term derived from IDAS3's boost off racing.

[@falcoscontrollare4552]

I'm sorry but I haven't live so long in the IDAS3 era, what's boost off/handicap off means, is it something like restricting opponent's drive?

[@djtroopers]

Boost off/Handicap off: WMMT - Handicap system to help players catch up after an error is turned off. Activated when all step on brakes during time/bgm selection, Go All Out flashes on roster screen before race start. IDAS3 - Boost system that gives players behind leader extra speed/handling is turned off. Works when 2 players hold the brakes after track is selected until the race loads, boost off flashes on car roster prior to race start.

[@djtroopers]

@@falcoscontrollare4552 Turning boost off = player falls behind after messing up. Note rubberbanding works differently in both games.
