Dash Technique
« Thread started on: Feb 24th, 2003, 10:33am »

Does 'dash technique' work when you rotate your vehicle sideways and hit a skid plate, or do you have to bounce off a wall for some reason, first?

what about knight final when you run straight into a skid plate facing sideways?

what if you jump in the air and rotate and then land on a skid plate as in, uh, one of the queen tracks? Maybe it's Championship....

Is it true if you beat the game on Master without crashing and with silver thunder driving backwards you get a nude Britney Spears level?

Any sort of angle when using a dash plate helps your speed. The more severe the angle, the bigger benefit you get.

Technically, when someone refers to the Dash Technigue, they mean when you bounce off a wall to get fully sideways for the plate. It is an extremely advanced technique which has only been successfully performed by a few players at the King level.

Look at the Championship course ranking page. See the very big gap between #5 and #6? The top five used the Dash Technique, everyone else didn't. It's THAT hard to do consistently. Heck no, I can't do it. I haven't tried much, but I haven't even done it right ONCE.

As far as I know, Pawn 1 and Championship are the only courses where the Dash Technique has been used by F-Zero Central players. It's possible the Japanese have used it on others, but that's just a guess.

Bumping into the wall just allows you to take the dash plate at 90 degrees.

If you want to try
you can first simply take the dash plate by just stopping your car and go slowly onto it with a 90deg angle (I did this for P1 lap), to see what "extreme straffing" looks like. don't forget to release (I mean "not push", not sure about my English) accel button once you get on the plate so that you don't go into the wall in front of you. then accelerate once again (and boost on champ, forgot about P1) when you think it's time to go back in the right direction , before the right turn.
Then the difficult part is to hit the wall correctly in order not to miss the dash plate.
Since you stop accelerating during the move it's a very impressive sensation of silence and hyper-speed. I love it.

I used to try the JDT on other tracks, with no result. you need a long straight line in the direction of the dash plate for ex. doesn't work on KF for this reason.

there's also a big gap between n1 and n2

There's one thing I forgot to ask...When do you boost in pawn 1...because in the tips and strategy page it says to boost "just before" the start line..and I don't understand why...shouldn't you boost at the dirt patches instead?

I've just visited the strat page (for the first time ) and I can't figure out why FJ is speaking about the JDT in pawn 1 course, and only at the end of the 4th lap....
I use it only for lap times (right, at the end of the 4th lap)

I think with JV you boost before the jump plate (should end just after the dirt zones)... with FC, before the first left turn... maybe... don't really remember.

hmmm, yep (no JDT). Greg too I think. I wanted to do it at the end of the last lap but good luck is too precious in GP mode not to throw it away with a missed final dash plate and just a stupid bump in the wall
Jap record is something like 1'51"xx in training
There were no trace of JDT in what I could read from their strats, or what could automatic translation could tell us.

btw, you use FC, so you can't say I'm that good!

I don't really understand what you mean by that though. Anywho...I just can't see how you can use the JV to get such a low score..my best JV time is 1'59"50 and lap 22"49. I just can't see what I can possible do to go faster...I take ever corner as shrap as possible...am I missing a shortcut somewhere?
I cut through the jump part and shortly before the dirt patch starts I press turbo which ends right before the begginning of the last curve. Then I take the 2 dash plates and start it all over again...so where's my problem?

I use GP mode for this track so it's all about getting a very good boost from other cars after the start (up to 600kph is possible), and using ""mines"" in lap 3(?),4,5. If you're lucky, the mines are ideally placed (after the start line, before the jump... )and you can set a very nice PR, if you're not...
