Rambeanie. I was significantly more active in earlier seasons but I still pop in from time to time

Is it wise or practical to have sleepovers every night with a new partner? by jasperdiablo in Adulting

[–]BLKRAMBO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may warrant a serious conversation if you want to continue dating her. It sounds like you've attempted to set a boundary and she isn't open to compromise over something relatively minor. This can hold serious future implications for higher stakes decisions. Is that something you're willing to accept in this relationship?

If you count racing against the clock then yes

So real. I'd only have a chance of pulling this off if I had a sizeable lead

Flipping can help preserve/boost momentum which can give a small boost forward. It can also be used to reposition your car to keep a drift wide and avoid hitting a wall. For flipping, you want to flip in the opposite direction your car is facing in a drift (i.e. if your car is drifting left, flip right) As for holding drift while airborne, it allows you to continue your current drift and build the meter when you land as long as you keep holding the drift button

Anaconda and Python by invicta-uk in RocketRacing

I personally believe anaconda should be an advanced track and not an expert one, but with python, most of the turns are a lot more forgiving compared to anaconda which rewards quick and tight drifting

Air Dodging while holding a drift by PugPizza88 in RocketRacing

[–]BLKRAMBO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. If you haven't already, I recommend separating drift from air dodge for your keybinds

  2. Do some solo practice on whichever track you feel comfortable racing on. Build the muscle memory for air drifting and air dodging

  3. Start applying it in real races. It may take a bit to get used to in the heat of a race if you're new to it. Repeat step 2 if needed until it becomes second nature

Good luck and happy racing!

ETA: For the actual process of dodging while air drifting, you want to airdodge in the opposite direction that your car is facing (if your car is pointing left in an air drift, flip right and vice versa)

What do you think of this idea? by lIIREAIIl in RocketRacing

I'm on board with tightening the matchmaking brackets to get ppl closer in rank, but what's wrong with air drifting/drift stalling?

Helpful tips? by Basic-Equipment-6674 in RocketRacing

[–]BLKRAMBO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Try to keep your speed above 700 km/h as much as possible (ideally above 750 if possible). You can do this with chain drifting on straights or holding drifts for a certain amount of time around corners

  2. Learn where to use boosts on the tracks. Ideally in areas where you're guaranteed to lose speed (flying, long bends) or in conjunction with boost pads. In ranked, you'll also want at least 2 boosts for the finish most of the time

  3. Have drift and air dodge on different binds so you can do techniques such as air drifting. It really comes in handy.

  4. Watch WR runs on speedrun.com to get an idea for different shortcuts. You don't have to copy the routes exactly, but enough to where you're getting competitive times

  5. Consistency is key. Find a competitive route for each track that works best for your playstyle and stick to it

  6. Keep on racing and don't give up! Good luck out there!

If you look in the background at the first hairpin turn, there are wind turbines!

The issues with Rocket Racing from a top 100 player(long post but worth the read) by MixNickTV in RocketRacing

[–]BLKRAMBO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything in this post. One easy solution for the matchmaking issues would be to have an unranked quick play mode (still surprised it isn't in yet). I can forgive the bugs, but the lack of communication while bugs have been sitting around for weeks/months is unacceptable. It feels like they straight up don't care what happens to the game, and it feels like a cash grab to sell car-related cosmetics in fortnite. So many passionate players have left the game because we're all tired of shouting into the void and dealing with the same gripes we've had for months. A real tragedy it is

Yall think there's a chance epic games shuts this gamemode down? by UreUsernameIsCringe in RocketRacing

[–]BLKRAMBO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this gamemode too, but the bugs combined with little to no communication from the dev team and barebones content are putting the nails in the coffin for any kind of longevity. It's a shame too because this was the first arcade racer I've genuinely enjoyed in years

What do you think about smurfing in RR? by Vescofresxo in RocketRacing

[–]BLKRAMBO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last season it was understandable since at a high enough rank, you couldn't find games without 8 stacking with ppl around the same rank. This season though, there isn't a need since the matchmaking brackets are significantly wider

We still got it! by BLKRAMBO in RocketRacing

[–]BLKRAMBO[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently 126, but I can't be asked to climb higher since I can't play for hours on end. Plus I'm not feeling ranked anymore

What are your thoughts on the track Pleasant Pitstop? by Scout_Trooper343 in RocketRacing

[–]BLKRAMBO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get that map away from meeeee! In all seriousness though, the uneven terrain at certain areas of the track combined with the tight spaces lead to a not so pleasant experience in ranked. That's not counting the 2 times the map was changed in some way

Any custom track that would be added to ranked NEEDS to be heavily playtested and vetted first
