    03:38 - CLARIFICATION: you can hold the drift button down and change directions using the analog stick, still while maintaining the chain-drift. Some people find it easier to do it that way, since it doesn't risk mistiming it and messing up the direction change!
    Also there are a TON more useful tips in the comments, so thank you to everyone for contributing your advice!

    Some advice for newer players from somebody who is currently climbing through diamond (not the craziest flex I know, but still).
    You will climb out the lower ranks incredibly easily by simply managing your turbo use properly. You will often see noob players using turbo at terrible times. Any time they see a straight, to quickly catch up, or out of panic because somebody behind them just popped theirs.
    Do not fall into the trap of thinking of turbo as an easy way to catch up, because it's not. Consider that everyone is roughly going to have the same number of turbos throughout the race. Sure, you can pop yours now and get ahead of that guy in 1st place, but that guy is only going to pop his own at some point and take that lead back.
    The trick is to use your turbo at moments in the track that will give you the most value. While this varies between maps, a general example I can give is any parts of a track that require lots of airtime (like having to fly across a long gap).
    Being in the air slows you down quite drastically since your wheels aren't touching the ground and you have no way to gain speed by drifting. The exception to this, however, is turbo.
    If you turbo across those gaps while other people are wasting theirs on basic straights you are getting way more value out of your turbo than they are. You not only get the speed boost of the turbo, you also DON'T get slowed down by those airborne segments while everyone else does. Double value.
    Another small tip is that you can straighten your car out of a drift instantly by simply tapping the rocket drift button in the opposite direction (don't hold the button or else you will go into a full drift in the opposite direction instead). This sounds simple (and is) but will also give you a huge advantage over other players in lower ranks.

      Hey I've ran across in in games a few times, I just wanted to add to the part where you mention holding drift while in the air to maintain it. While in a drift, you can press and hold the drift button to straighten your car out right when you go airborne. You're able to fly normally and pitch your car up and down, but the animation doesn't show. It's difficult on the timing, but I found it useful in certain applications where you want to spread out the times you activate your drift boost.

      YO top 100 unreal player here, u talked about S-drifting briefly where people chain drift in an S shape along a Straight. It’s a pretty important skill to learn and it does take some practice, it’s faster along the straights I believe and it’s great for building up boost, especially important on the ‘easier’ tracks.

    • @snipedaddy7430

  • @Belle_7777

    For chain drifts i like to actually hold the drift button and point the other direction, it always works, drift normally-then point to opposite direction while u hold rocket drift.
    Also something cool to mention for beginners is to learn how to drive while u on the cieling and manage to be able to control ur car cuz like that on begginer maps u can actually take upside down routes that the other beginners wont making the path clean for u to avoid other players destroying ur game.
    And another thing to mention that is a super useful trick specially in maps like Riviera and Dust up 2 is to use the checkpoint rings to actually lounch ur car into it with an air dodge making u take the tightest turn possible( and im fully aware these maps are expert level but the thing is even tho i am on Diamond 2 i am still getting matched with Silver 1 ppl on expert maps and it always ends up horribly for them so u might run into those maps if u unlucky).

    Hey Danny, not really a big deal for beginners but I would recommend unbinding drift and flip to different buttons. This will allow you to hold your drift while jumping and flip all while maintaining the boost you had built up from your drift. Love the channel btw, hoping to grow like you have too.

    This might be controversial, but if you are anywhere from 8th-12th and know there is no way for you to get higher, quit the match before the finish line. This way, you won't lose any rank % (for the time being) it works well in Diamond since its so hard to get rank up %.

I've learned: the game is too glitchy/unpredictable to be truly skill based competitive, the physics/air control is clunky, your skill level can be totally negated by some noob that slams into you OR by an unpredictable demo. So in fairness it's def in the same veign as the old RL.
