Are there any good written/video guides to help someone get better at these games? (RR Vita)
I've been really loving diving into RR Vita lately but man am I struggling. I'm watching ghosts/replays of people doing races like the Crinale/Archangel and how they've constantly maintaining higher speeds, getting more nitrous from drifts even with the same upgrades and not losing as much speed on certain turns as I do. Hell, when I myself play I will play Lap Trial and have laps where turns I normally lose some speed on I take with incredible grace/precision or I'll sometimes earn double the nitrous for a blue flame drift than I normally would whilst feeling like I approached the turn in the same way.
It just feels like there is a lot of nuance that I am maybe not fully grasping when it comes to how/when to drift in that specific turn (brake drift without gas, just drift by tapping the gas etc) or how to maximize blue flame nitrous earnings (do you want nitrous to end as you're already drifting or right before). Hell, I'm not even 100% sure if the car choice matters. I've noticed the speedometer in certain cars changes (such as RPM) and idk if thats indicative of the cars having different stats that I'm just unaware of or if it is purely cosmetic.
Loving this game, really want to get RR6 and RR7 and revisit Type 4 to really get back into the series in a big way, but I also feel unable to realize what top replays are doing that I'm not when it comes to those micro-optimizations.
