There's a kind of preparation for inwards drift that requires a different entry angle and exit angle. I'd say with proper tech it's equal to outwards drift, but it's a little harder to dodge items with ur handling stat, so you're always on your toes
I usually just neutral trick unless I need to do I directional trick because Dry Bowser’s blue fire he breathes out in one of his trick animations looks so cool
By the way. ShortCat. I don't like you. I had a Mushroom in 1st place in MARIO KART 7. Not 8. 7. And a blue shell hurtled at me. I thought back to your videos regarding dodging blue shells with a mushroom, so I decide "Worth a shot, right?". AND IT WORKED! HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN A THING? YOU CAN MUSHROOM DODGE IN MK7?
