Guest Codua Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 I was reading through some of the professional online Racer guides and I was surprised to see how many people think that the air brakes and slide aren't even worth using. Air Brakes Seems to me that it would be much faster to come up to a corner as fast as you can and then break just in time to catch the corner than to coast from farther away until you've bled off enough speed to handle it. Sliding I was just playing Bumpy's Breakers trying to beat -=Sebulba=-'s lap time, and I found corners where I could take at full speed if I slid around them right, same with a lot of other corners in the game. One noteworthy one is the canyons on any Baroonda level. 180 turns? How do people play without it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gamer13 Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 how do you slid on N64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JediKnight_114[b] Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 I slide on only the sharpest turns. For instance, I can hardly beat Grabvine Gateway on Baroonda without drifting through those 180 degree turns. However, I have never used my airbrakes, so in watto's shop, I downgrade those to get money for parts I need. To drift on the 64, hold down the trigger button as you come into a turn, and you will go sideways. It takes a bit to get the hang of drifting, but once you do, it is pricelss.

Guest Redwing Posted March 27, 2001 Share Posted March 27, 2001 I beat Grabvine Gateway by nosing up at the turns. My reflexes aren't good enough to hit slide at top speed. ------------------ At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.
