Still Asphalt 9, mostly.
I've started implementing floaty drifting. If you've ever seen gameplay of it, you'll notice that there are a lot of jumps and have likely seen the car spin. You do those flat spins to gain nitro but you can also do them on the ground to knock out opponents. One often sees that online and even more often go wrong, since you lose speed and can't steer right during it.
However, Asphalt 9 is kinda janky.
People have used those spins before certain tight corners to style. If you need to slow down, why not spin?
The added benefit is that spinning to the left ends with your car facing to the right and the other way around.
So by spinning in the opposite direction (done by tapping break twice and whatever direction you want to spin) of the corner, you'll face the right way after it.
In comes floaty drifting. With a fast enough car, the momentum of the spin is so strong that if you spin directly into drifting, one of your front wheels lifts off the ground.
Suppose you want to turn right into a corner you need to drift to take.
You can instead spin left, steer right and keep the brake pressed to drift. Your right front wheel will lift off.
Your drift radius will be a tiny bit less extreme but you'll also lose way less speed.
You'll also gain much more nitro, for some reason, and can thus boost out of the corner, often with purple/shockwave boost.
That's super beneficial! Less speed loss, style and in shockwave you're back to top speed in a second and can't get destroyed either.
My online domination will become unstoppable! maybe
Cannons bray, the mighty quake!
Centuries of blood becomes erased!
I am the white ghost!
