Playing through the game for the first time and opening this to see a move I don’t even recognize is bewildering. ESPECIALLY WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD ALL OF THEM
You mean the Drift Jump? Or maybe it's known as "Ultra Hop". I think "Ultra" is a bit too extra. Anyway, I discovered it by accident lol. I was just messing with the controls when that happened and I was confused. Turns out it's quite the helpful mechanic when trying to accomplish things fast. Very easy to pull off when going backwards, much harder when trying to go forward. But it's doable.
@@Diovaynes mhm! The ultra hop is the one. Seeing you perform it there sent me on a tangent of trying everything I could to replicate it like you did and eventually figured it out. Didn’t get a time as low as yours but I still passed the bar! So thank you for showing me a tech I didn’t know about ^^
@@Zappermint Hey, good job. The "ultra hop" is very easy backwards, but can be done forward, sideways and even neutrally, the hardest being forward. To pull it off, you have to "drift" by going backwards when hitting the ground (reason why I call them "drift jump"). Backwards is easy because you don't have to do much more than just hitting the right timing for the jump. A neutral hop, however, needs you to release the analog stick, or the backwards key on keyboard, before jumping. That causes it to be a bit more tricky to pull off. Sideways might be easier to do, since you need to, before jumping, press the left or right keys before jumping. And then forward is tricky because you need to, before jumping, go forward, and getting the timing right is much harder than other jumps. Still, it feels pretty good to pull them off, and doing them on the time trials can be quite rewaring. The game is so much fun to play that I still play it, even though I already finished it a couple of times. lol
