With normal controls, either up or down will allow you to turn sharper than normal.
With motion controls, I was not able to go full up-right, but I could easily get a (quite significantly) sharper turn with down-right. Strangely, though, I was not able to go as wide as my ghost (it used normal controls) with motion controls when trying to get full right and no up/down...
When drifting, holding up makes you go wider, and holding down makes you go sharper. However, I was not able to get the sharper turning with motion controls...only a small one with a stick.
Not really sure about the slight up/down I was using without motion, since I was on the GamePad. I am unable to get these results with nunchuck.
New tests: D-Pad is slightly better than control stick. Up/right and down/right seem to be softdrift. Useful?
Also, when using non-motion controls with a Wii controller, (no nunchuck) you turn with all the power of gamepad's motion controls! (not fully tested for drifts, only handling)
That is the complete opposite of what I experienced when using the d-pad over control stick. It turned noticicably worse than if i were using the control stick. Could you post a comparison video?
No, I can't. Don't have a way of recording the screen (except awful smartphone camera), and its a lot of trouble for something so simple...
1: Play a course you don't have a ghost on.
2: at the start, hold right+A. (no start boost)
3: Finish, race ghost.
4: Use D-Pad (with Wii controller!) and do the same thing. (except accelerate is 2 obviously)
5: Make sure you are not also holding up or down on the D-Pad.
yeah i asked because i was wondering just how you were testing it. I tried what you said and my ghost was inside of the other ghost and there was no difference. That test is flawed anyways you arent even drifting which is what you are doing when you play.
True, most turning will be drifting.
Tested drift, nunchuck and Wii controller D-Pad turn exactly the same rate.
1: Find an area large enough to drift circles in. (I used near the end of Electrosrome.)
2: Use Wii controller w/o motion. Start drifting in circles.
3: Drift continuously until you have a clear circle with skid marks.
4: Pause. Plug in nunchuck. Wait for controller detection.
5: Unpause while holding right, drift, and A.
When I did this, I (as usual when changing input method) immediately changed direction. But my circle was only moved. Its size remained the same, as perfectly as I could tell.
I am doing better with Wii controller than I was with nunchuck, though this could be mainly because D-Pad allows for easy softdrifting.
