Title: Honk Honk!
Post by Etch on 09/06/17 at 14:07:10

I've done it in goofy runs but too focused to bother smacking select into the finish as far as TT's goes...

Also seems to have no effect in GP, so it's pretty useless...lol

I've tried to get it in a PR, did it after my second GOD ever on rDP1 flap

Never had a honk run or a honk PR unfortunately, would go for some honk WRs but I'm sure Etch already has the 80/80 timesheet far out of my range.

didn't realize until now you could do it in runs instead of just the character select screen though, so there's the new fact of the day!

I always play with the sound off, so I wouldn't know anything about a horn

Same here, I've never actually turned the sound on when time trialling. Too distracting.

Hmm. It doesn't really distract me; if anything, I think it helps when I have the sound on because I might be benefiting from audio cues. (For example: playing RR, fire a shroom too early, and you can tell by the sound hitting the bumper. Or if you fire one perfectly, you hear the typical "fail" sound, but the speed doesn't drop at all. I think it really helped me learn how early I could fire my shroom, which is the single most important thing of high-level RR play.)

I think it probably also helps me with shroom spacing, brake tapping, and maybe even gauging when to start steering around a tight turn after a shroom.

As for the subject: yes, I've honked the horn before, but not recently. It doesn't really cross my mind to do after finally getting everything right on a course...

Agreed with Shock. But tbh I've only recently developed that opinion (i.e. when i started again in july), beforehand I didn't care whether i had audio on or not.

On top of audio cues for high level play, I also find that it helps me focus more if I can hear the game audio. Otherwise if I have music/twitch/tv on and no game audio, then I'll be almost entirely focused on that, and just relying on muscle memory. Then as a result I fuck up loads more because I'm not really concentrating.

... that all said, I had sound off when I got my rdp1 time yesterday lol
