How to Dakou...
« Thread started on: Aug 29th, 2003, 06:01am »

Hey, can someone explain to me in greater detail how to dakou? I have only had the game for 2 days, but I have probably logged about 20 hours already. I just can't dakou yet and that really ruins my idea of a dakou and non-dakou memory cards. Anyway, I am not going to dakou yet, but when the GX competition really picks up, and I need to dakou for good times, I need to know how to do it. Thanks!
(Again, I warn you, watch out. One day of playing GX and I had already jumped to 5th out of 12, and I broke every single one of my records and earned the Diamond class yesterday night)

ok, ill try:

you need to press the shoulder buttons and the controlstick simultanously, otherwise it wont work. dont try it to fast, you will avoid pressing the wrong button. you will get faster and better the longer you play with it. its really not a big deal with the controls, but there is much space for error.

it can be very easy to learn dakou in the space, because there are no barriers, and you can do whatever you like. if you got used to it you will be able to explore all the things besides the track with flying, wich is a lot of fun in port town aero dive. its very easy to fly, because that are the same moves. just boost of the track, hold the right shoulder button and the right direction on the control stick, and your garnet dragon will circling upwards (same with the left direction). you can also change the sides in the air. try this a little bit, its the easiest way, and you can also try to make a speeddive. its just a suggestion to learn it in the air, you can directly try it on the track if you prefer.

if you try it on the track you should choose the sonic oval, or MCT if you havent unlocked the oval. try to move from one to the other side of the track with dakou. if you dont hit the walls anymore then try to drive over every dashplate. its important that you are able to comtrol the car at every possible time. you can slalom more to the right or left to catch up the plates. you just need to practice it. you wont become such a great step better at the beginning, but if you practice it on the sonic oval, you will be honored by a new record everytime, which is very motivating to become better and better.

if you once got the basic controls work evertime like you wish, than you can try to hold the drift in the corner longer, most times you will only have to change sides at the straight parts of the tracks. if you hold it longer your speed will increase more, thats the trick of it. so if you choose a greater slalom on the straights you also be faster. you need to figure out for yourself which will be the optimal slalom width. if a track has many jumps like big blue ordeal for example you need to start dakouing first if you really landed, if you start it a short moment before you land, it wont work the first time and you will eventually crash into the wall, if there is a corner. in some corners its even worthful to just hold to one site as usual and move a little bit with the control stick, to correct the car to the raceline.

Okay Yoda Thanks!!! sorry, I really am grateful for you helping me, but the "very easy can it be" was to much to pass it up! Okay, how do I make the Garnet Dragon. I know I have the Dragon part because (hope I'm right) its a body part and I earned it last night, but I don't know about the Garnet part, thanks!

Alright...what? With the flying, hold down one shoulder button and hold the control stick to the right? It ain't workin'. Please help. What I am doing is boosting right before the jump, then holding one shoulder button, and I have tried holding both, and then holding one direction on the control stick. I can't figure it out. Doing DTDs in F-Zero X were a lot easier...


EDIT: Never mind, right after I posted I figured it out. You got to hold something like L and left or R and Right, and you machine will point down. I got it. thanks

Well I can't seem to do it. It only works for a second and I keep crashing into walls.

Is there a video out there that demonstrates how to do it? If there is could they link it to here?

YES!!! I finally figured it out. On the story mode with the one where you need to win the Grand Prix, thats wher e I figured it out. I'll try to help you KnightRyder (awesome name by the way) when the race is about to start and you rev your car up, hold L and left. Then when you take off, go until you almost hit the wall, and then hold R and right. Once you get the overall concept of it you will be a lot better at it. Be careful though, I think that I am going to be either wearing a glove on my left hand, or put some tape on my thumb when I play, because with the ridges in the control stick, and the ridges in your thumb, the friction is overwhelming, and creates sort of a sensation like Mario Party did with the tug of war (rotating the control stick super fast, using your palm to do it, and in result burning a hole in your palm that hurts like hell for a couple days whenever you bend your hand) and you will burn your thumb. I didn't dakou a lot tonight, just about an hour because I just figured it out, but don't worry about crashing into the wall, just keep dakouing. (there has to be a spelling error with that ) Also, if you are dakouing for about 10 minutes stright trying to win, dying, then restarting and doing it agian, your hands will get really tired and you will lose your perspective of the feeling in your hand, and you will in turn not be dakouing and not know why. It sucks, but I better get used to it because if I want to keep up my plan of being GX champion, I need to be good at dakou.

Woah! That was a fast video! thanks Ryan and PDM. I'll see if i can do it.

EDIT: nope I can barely do it. I can only seem to do it on tracks with sharp turns like Areopolis. I get to speeds of about 1300-1500km/h but I can't keep the speed up without hitting walls or something. I tried doing mute city with black bull with acelleration all the way up and I keep slipping all over the place.

I just unlocked Black Bull and went to Mute City - Twist Road to try snaking. The results? ... In only 5 minutes I had raised my speed PR from 15xx to 2354. For some of the speed records this will be VERY easy and "cheap" to beat non-snaking players. But for setting times it will certainly require at least SOME skill. I didn't even come close to my best course time (which is currently 1'08"xxx).

This doesn't change my opinion about allowing the technique, I'm just reporting my new experiences with it.

So far my best MCTR time is 57"xxx, with a lap of 16"xx. My speed is somewhere around 45xx. I figured out the flying, but I can't get back to the track to well...

a speedrecord with spaceflying is too stupid, i dont want to have 9300kph everywhere, you can only remove it by ereasing all the records for the track. i will definetely not use this because that would really make speedrecords useless for the rankings.
