Automatic drift: Difference between revisions

Created page with "'''Automatic drift''' is an alternative drift type option available for every vehicle. A few basic mechanics are changed compared to manual, leading to exclusive techniques. While it performs worse than manual in most situations, it is currently the preferred option for a few no glitch and supersliding TASes. == Overview == Holding a horizontal stick input of ±6 or ±7 (from now on called '''hard inputs''') for 12 consecutive frames will initiate a drift. Holding a..."

On automatic only, it is possible to release A during a drift, and brake by pressing B, without cancelling the drift as long as IV remains above 55% of maximum speed. Releasing A and braking for 1 frame can be useful to lose a very small amount of time and manipulate [[QM]]. Releasing A for longer loses a lot of speed, so it is generally not useful.

Autosliding works due to a combination of two quirks: switching from a right hard input to a left soft input switches the drift's direction, and resets the [[EV#Leaning | lean rotation]] value to a high value in the opposite direction. This makes it possible to lean for a long time (while turning and drifting), switch drift direction to immediately reset the lean counter, then cancel the drift and resume leaning in the same direction.

Autosliding allows for a much higher percentage of leaning frames than optimal patterns otherwise allow. A big limitation of autosliding is the IV requirement: the bike's IV must be at over 55% of its maximum speed to drift, but negative IV is very useful to turn tighter in a superslide.
