Post by scrontch »

how to do them?
I mean turning 180 degrees right back.
I saw a lot of players doing these.

those super tight u turns are thanks to double binding. What happens is a player assigns 2 keys to one function. say the shift key and the z key are both changed to turn left so when pressed together it causes a faster than usual u turn

How do you configure it? In your OS or in some config file of the game?

It's in the game. Where you bind keys just press enter again & select another key...

you can make tight turns against the walls without doublebinding, quick reflexes and rubber can make tight turns possible without double-binding however even i cant make some of the 180s that a double bind can do. just a little thought fyi

I double-bind and I can't make some of the turns my mom does. Just a little more thought.

Always remember, less is less, more is more and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right!

Brakes are for sissies. :) Take the turn, if you bounce, bounce back. If you can't, try to make sure you hit my trail.
