Crazy moves#
Limiter Cut is a mechanic where, the slower you go, the faster you’ll boost. At first glance, it doesn’t seem very applicable to the pace of Sonic Riders. However, when you pair this with the next mechanic, you’ll be able to execute these flawlessly.
Crazy Stop is an enhancement on the brake of this gear. Any time you brake above your cruising speed, you’ll immediately be capped to your cruising speed. You can use this to confuse opponents in combative situations, or to access Limiter Cut boosts easily.
Drift Tips enables ring gain when you drift dash. Normally, The Crazy loses no extra rings while drifting (but still has passive drain!). When you drift dash however, the money starts coming in. The longer you hold your drift after your drift dash is fully charged, the more rings you’ll get when you release it (up to 10).
