everyone always mentions that having motion controls always on is annoying, but never explains why. i just keep my controller flat on the desk and i don’t notice any disadvantages

Fountain

now imagine if someone uses the Left Stick, D-Pad, and motion controls at the same time

You dont need motion controls turned on. Idk if its any different for a pro controller, but if youre on regular joycons you can do the double input with motion controls off

there is an issue for me- even after connecting a pair of joy-cons, I'm still hyper gliding without the d-pad. i really want to get this fixed bc I cant soft drift properly anymore can anyone provide help pls?

Does this mean I can use my cool Kirby controller that doesn’t have motion sensing to perform this lunacy?

if you guys have a controller with back buttons,you can map them to the left and right of your D-pad. hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure that you can do this with Xbox Controller + 8bitdo's usb dongle.

You don't need both hands, you can just claw grip Nice video

Still not as good as Mario Kart 7 gliders

this mechanic is so fun to do, loved the explanation vid!

I have a controller without motion controls so I can do this without motion finickyness

It's funny how Mario kart 8 and Mario kart 8 deluxe are so different

Don't know if anyone else had problems, but the "fix" did not work for me when I tried it with a single joy con. Once I did the same with a Pro Controller it was working perfectly

Great video I don’t think I would be able to do that

So i can do motion glider without the motion controls ?

🦖🚣

😂

I recently have never played Mario Kart 8, but I loved this video and its style. Subscribed! And I'll tell my friend

damn

What a perfect video!

Yesir!!!!!!!!!!!

question: does this make the n64 controller optimal, since it has no gyro and a grip position that allows for very easy d pad use?

I typically use a WaveBird when playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, so this will be perfect

This is so cool! Can’t you remap the D-pad to the right stick in the switch OS?

Okay, but do the inputs triple stack? What about analog stick, dpad AND motion controls at the same time?

lmaooo 3ds snaking returns. this is pretty dope though, since it’s restricted to just a few portions of the map per race.

I love finding videos for niche non casual techniques to use next time I play a Nintendo game with my family, great video!

Nice vid mate

I have a PowerA pro controller and I think it would be super useful with this because it has programmable buttons on the back, i bet mapping a to the button on the bottom right would be super OP

From what I've experienced, having motion controls without the gyro sensor is actually better for drifts also. I noticed that doing normal left and right inputs more softly (no angles) is actually just as effective at charging MTs as hard inputs and softdrifting, my best guess is because of this 6:50. It also feels more consistent to drift this way than softdrfting because you won't have to worry about getting the proper angles all the time. I call it "fine-drifting"

So just buy a controller without motion controls and enable tilt.

IDK why I never thought about leaving motion controls on with a controller that doesn't have motion controls, that's really funny lol. Does the thing where you just randomly lose dragged items happen on other controllers too or just cube controllers? I always have felt like the analog-ness of it might be registering that I've let go of the trigger even when I'm holding it down.

I smell a shortcut revolution on the horizon

we now have another way to deplete the already drastically low gamecube controller supply, lmao (at least until the next smash releases hopefully?)

Nice video! This actually makes this technique so much easier especially with the gamecube controller that I have always been playing with!

"You can use the right control stick to accelarate and reverse. This one isn't just seemingly useless, it's actually useless." My Gran Turismo muscle memory says otherwise.

Why am I watching this I don’t play Mario kart

HOW HAS NOBODY EVER THOUGHT OF THIS

My third party Switch pro controller doesn’t have a gyrosensor so that makes my life a bit easier. Kinda neat that hyper gliding exists. Think it’s an oversight on the devs end?

i was moving my controller like that before it did anything.

7:59 Lol!!! I get this reference!! Mario Kart 8 Wii U.

Oh no, not the firehopping morton...

I use the d pad for drifting

I swear Mario Kart 8 is cracking under 10 years of pressure.

When Summoning Salt references this in a few years. Remember you were here

Didn't expect to learn something new about this game that I've been playing for 10+ years. This is a legit game changer man.

Such a neat video

Its easier to just instant transmission around the whole track and win in 1.23 seconds
