how 2 git gud

eh... gameplay basics? idk rlly

wtf is dis game

This game is a drifting arcade. Yes, it's that simple. You choose the track, choose the car, drift with eurobeat playing in your headphones. Some even can say it's an Initial D parody (Btw, go watch the anime, it's really cool).

and how 2 play it?

1. Choose the car. I highly recommend starting with RX-7, because it has almost perfect handling, decent power and it's not too heavy.
2. Choose the track. Gunma is the only option for learning - it has a downhill part and an uphill one - you can only choose if it will be day or night. Day is better for getting good with controls and learning the track layout. Night - for fights (Sadly, night Gunma is in beta - no multiplayer fights for you right now).
2.5. EUROBEAT. Open the options and disable the music. Then, open something and play the almighty eurobeat - I highly suggest some of those:
The Top - Ken Blast
Hurricane Man - Gold Rake
Rise Up - m.o.v.e.
Around the World - m.o.v.e.
Night of Fire
3. Start driving. Get yourself familiar with the controls - mind that physics will feel a bit strange at first, but you will get used to it after 2 or 3 ragequits. Mind that the handbrake is almost useless and you mustn't brake in the middle of the corner. It doesn't work. Brake before the corners, gas all the way to the next one.
4. Complete the downhill. Successfully completed the downhill part of Gunma? Nice one, you are getting good. Now, turn around and go all the way back. Mind the difference in speed on the uphill - you will enter the corners a bit slower.
5. Finish the race. Once you've finished, look at your score. If you had at least a 50K combo - you are doing OK. Ideally, your race should be done in 1 or 2 combos - first for downhill, second for uphill.

so how 2 git gud?

1. Play around with cars and settings. Find the perfect one for yourself. For example, I prefer either the RX-7, or the stock AE-86.
2. Master the braking. You need to learn how to properly brake in order to not crash. Brake before the corner, press the brakes mid-corner if you are going to touch the inside (Weird, but brakes just push your car backwards, they don't actually slow it down).
3. Watch the Initial D. Go watch it. Then you'll get it.

I still can't even figure out what the default key is for brake idk totally lost with this game.

Why is the Gas Permanently pressed in for me?

To Drift: Brake > Turn > in the middle of the corner Turn + Accelarate

@Chronova brake, turn hard, speed up -> drift (am beginner so this might be unaccurate)
