Question for JKT
Post by FluddyFlea on Apr 29th, 2003, 3:32pm
well you said I'm (we) are welcome to ask you about moves and technique so here I come
Just downloaded your record movie of Sector Beta and whoa that just blows me away
Well of course Im not hoping to get close to that soon but I thought I might try that first thing in the first lap in the air before the loop 
From what I've understood about DTD and TDD it isnt neither it doesnt look at all like my DTDs (Im probably doing it wrong) and i didn't think TDDs involved doubletapping. Also, what speed settings do you use? It doesnt quite look like max acceleration, wich i thought was the only setting people used 
So how do I do this? Is it actually a TDD or DTD? Got the video but cant figure it out
so some guidelines would be good 
Thx // Mark Slight

oops my bad, thought you meant the other loop after the last zipper i hit before i go flying off that skinny area then almost hit 3000 km/h as i dive the right corner then into another 3000 km/h dive into the refiller.
the beginning one after i hit the first 2 zippers is ACIDTD
[air control into double tap dive]
you turn to the right hold down, then turn over to the left while still holding down, then hold up-left immediately then tap [R] rapidly, and you should be able to duplicate exactly like in my vid of the ACIDTD.
well later, any other questions? =)

Yep, one more question: Why do you use the Night Thunder for this track? I just cant figure it out... does it have something to do with the airslide?
also when it comes to TDD... is this only good when at max accel? just wondering, thx for help

Well for me to use Night Thunder almost on every single track in the game, is that I have gotten used to it, if I really wanted the unbeatable record I could just go with Twin Noritta or Red Gazalle which are the best for this track. Though it has nothing to do with the air slide hehe I just like to use Night Thunder.
Since I am ranked #1 and people see me using Night Thunder so much they start using it too hehe, but anyhow I didn't really picked the best cars for each track. Truth it would of been all tracks either a Blood Hawk or Twin Noritta those are the two ultimate cars that can pull crazy times. Though i sure made it look like Night Thunder is the best car hehe too bad it ain't, but i just like to use it anyway.
you'll eventually find out which car is more suited for you or your taste 
Well you could use Night Thunder if you like its not that its bad or anything hehe, if you're good at the game you can make any car good, even that horrible heavy Black Bull which so many players mistaken the weight to be the speed lol. It may have two A's as a stat but that doesn't make it good hehe
well cya later

I've always used the black bull as my slider of choice. its got the E-A thing that everybody says is so good. so i use it. no actually i dont.

btw JKT i saw in some post you were trying to beat MC1 staff with black bull. Any progress?

To beat Mute City 1 staff with black bull as a jumper it'd be near impossible, but I got so close to the end on the last stretch then I just got ditch by the twin noritta staff.
Since I can't keep it up to speed, and what can you do with boost E? while they have boost A isn't it a bit off hehe. I played with all my skills, took an incredible lane super and ultimately sharp on corners at high speed but still I can't ditch the ghost for long then just lost at the end, closest I got was off by about +0.452 millisec
I beated the staff ghost with Astro Robin boost D no problem was easy but black bull is like comparing chocolate and shit lol, uncomparable.
well see ya later hehe
