fakecortex Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Surprised myself with steady improvement on Dragster. Watching Nads’ video till it burns in my brain. According to the manual I’m an expert, so that’s cool ? Dragster- 6.37 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the manual I’m an expert, so that’s cool ? Dragster- 6.37 Thanks for the shout out! I got a few Dragster runs on my channel, including Game 2. What you need to look at to really improve your times is the first 3 Taps If get them right your Dragster is well on the way to top speed earlier than later. Keep at it! And keep those taps short and sharp!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 21 hours ago, Rogerpoco said: Vocelli- Curious, would game 2 on Dragster be acceptable to submit on? Basically, I have the 5.57 a few times now on game 1(in the past, not this week yet), but "only" a 5.61 on game 2, so my time would be more productively spent on game 2(much harder...). Just curious, not swearing that's the route I'll go, just wanted to know if that was an option? Thanks!!! This is fine with me since Game 2 is harder than Game 1. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerpoco Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 A quick Dragster tip(that will make my mentors groan)(again-I go on about this a lot...). Especially if you are watching others successful runs, it also helps, IMO, to learn to listen to the game. I can actually play it by sound, won't elaborate(I'll save that bragging for my upcoming novel, lol), but learn to listen to the countdown timer, and learn what successful shifts "sound" like. Especially if you have any previous experience playing music, the "timing" that is so important on this game can be exploited simply by "looking for the sound". 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Dragster: 6.01. I have the hardest time with this one...if I get under 6 seconds, I'll be surprised. This run was lucky. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried with my eyes closed a few times...? just blown engines for now. But I was thinking it might be similar to Dolphin where sound played a bigger part than the picture at times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
