While this is a really cool and niche technique since release
(this has been known for a LONG time >:3), this is
technically patched in v6 as drifting allows MUCH tighter turns. The new drifting also forces you to move towards the direction you're drifting in, making it nearly impossible to do without frame-by-frame precision. Not that it matters anymore as drifting slows the bar much better than v5, and even gives boost when used during normal running!
Does this mean advanced tech and silliness is gone? NOOOO! :3
There's still a lot of cool precise stuff that hasn't been revealed yet, but I think this speedrun is summative enough!
Thanks Spork! >w<
Putting it simply, v6 is heavily combo/flow focused. It's more about keeping a smooth flow, constantly moving, and using the environment around you to maintain Rush Mode. You can still go extremely fast, but it's more incentivized to keep a combo
(and a feature very much promotes this >w<)
I think that's enough for the day, byeeeeee!!!!
