Anyone else having issues with the Crazy Dash?

[Scout]

I know how to perform it, but it seems to only happen 20% of the time I attempt it. It almost seems to be completely random. Surely I'm not doing this wrong. Anyone else find it hard to do a crazy dash?

[Csontzuzo]

i do, sometimes it happens, sometimes it not happens, even if i do exactly the same all the time. Crazy box achievements just pure random this way.

I've tried both my Xbox 360 and One controllers, PS2 and Dreamcast controllers (w/adapters) and my DS4 controller, and as you said the Crazy Dash seems to perform at pure randomness.

This may be an old topic, but I may as well clarify the pattern here:

It won't work if you push the gearshift to Drive and floor the Gas Pedal simultaneously; the movements must occur one after the other with a very slight pause in between.

Yeah see that's what I do but it's still very inconsistent. I'm lead to believe it's a problem with this version of the game.

I know how to do the Crazy Dash trust me, I own both the original Dreamcast and the GameCube versions of the game, and I haven't experienced any issues during my gameplay on that platforms.

As Scout said, I also believe that the problem is exclusive to this version of the game, and that's something not hard to believe, considering that the other "Dreamcast Collection" games are also broken, like Space Channel 5 fox example.

It's a shame that nowadays Sega ask for fans support on their current projects, but they don't give a damn about all the existing problems on all their Steam catalog. The funny thing is that they make money everyday selling broken games to us... the users.

Shame on you Sega, and also shame on me for keep supporting you...

I played the hell out of this game when it was out and I remember doing this all the time, even on keyboard, but I tried like a million times now with X360 controller and a keyboard and (funnily enough) I only got it to work the very FIRST time I tried to perform it, and never again after that.

EDIT: interesting, I tried it some more and I just had to re-learn the timing on the keyboard. On the controller, however, it seems to work only if your acceleration and drive buttons are bound to buttons (I have LB and RB for D/S and A/B for Accelerate/Brake), otherwise the axis is too "slow" on the release. To be honest, I like my D/S bound to LB/RB and A/B for accelerate/brake anyway because I can perform Crazy Drift by just slamming on the bumpers.

Just shift into reverse while driving, then wait, say, a second, shift into drive and accelerate.
That works, I'm sure of it. I performed it billions of times.

Have you done that billions of times in this version, though? Like I said, I know how to do the dash, but everyone here is saying it's very inconsistent on this ver.

Approximately 96% of the time it works. Whether its CT3 or the GameCube version of CT via Dolphin. Maybe the Steam version is different, I wouldn't know.
