The spacebar technique

So recently i heard about this technique that if you doule tap the spacebar you can be in slo-mo? I would like to know more about this so more info would be helpful. Btw i first heard about this from Whisk . Cheers guys

 

Here is a good tip for getting in slo-mo. Buy my type of computer, go really far away from the wifi router in your house, open up free rider, forums, and a tab that plays music, sit back, relax, and enjoy riding at a ridiculously slow speed

 

so 'spacebarring' is a way to up the time you have to react to things while playing at the ridiculously high fps that frhd runs in. you basically hold you arrow inputs, tap space, adjust arrow inputs, and tap space again. its a system that takes a while to get used to, but once you do, you'll be able to cheat your way to the tops of leaderboards because it requires absolutely no skill at all i assure you.

 

Lmao no skill at all
I’d say it helps if you have some skill to begin with

 

Its basically required that you have a 3+ key or a space cancellation keyboard. If youre a 2 key laptop keyboard user like me, youre gonna have a bad time

 

I think I know what you mean: not being able to press up, left, space at the same time. I actually spacebar on a keyboard like that. However, I have installed a piece of software called SharpKeys. You can remap the arrow keys to other keys that will, when remapped, register as arrow keys. I have moved UP to RIGHT SHIFT, DOWN to UP, LEFT to PgUp, and RIGHT to PgDn. It works quite well for me, didn't take long to get used to at all.

 

PSSSANS!!!!!!!!!!

 

haha i was ripping on the people who claim we cheat or hack

thank you!!

 

I can confirm that space-barring requires 0 skill. Anyone that claims otherwise is trying to make themselves feel better about how they're so bad at the game, they need to manipulate it to get a good ghost. Honestly, the only way you can tell if someone is a good ghoster is by looking at their trick ghosts.

 

Yea cuz i tried pressing the left, up and spacebar at the same time but the spacebar would just cancel out.
It seems a bit complex

 

look at spruces ghosts without spacebar

 

im learning

 

I'm just gonna say that ik I'm bad which is why I spacebar lol but still but most people can do it, it's not against any rules and u still need skill using the spacebar to get the #1 spot, it's not like the space bar garuntees u a spot on the leaderboard but idk I'm just bad at explaining and bad at the game so I don't even know what I'm typing anymore lmao goodnight

 

Whoa bro ur so good tho! Any tips anyone?

 

I just have to point out everyone is writing two sentences while ur writing like whole essays lol

 

spacebarring ≠ bad, and don't let these guys tell you otherwise. some of the best players spacebar. it's very helpful in certain situations and not in others.

 

spacebarring should be prevented

spacebarring:
1. encourages more difficult tracks when this game already suffers from a difficulty problem for newer players (at least w/ tracks the community considers good)
2. widens the skill gap between newer players and experienced ones & adds another thing for newer players to learn if they want to complete many tracks (more barriers to entry = bad)
3. provides a significant enough difference from regular gameplay such that to be competitive with top (or even just good) ghosters you're basically forced to spacebar
4. actually detracts from otherwise impressive ghosts, i personally know i feel a lot less impressed with some ghosts after watching them being made on tc. in my mind at least, a ghost should at least partially represent the process the rider went through of riding the track, but it feels a little cheap that a run made while tapping the spacebar a few times every second translates into a ghost that would look identical to one made without using the spacebar

these are my honest opinions btw, no contrarian trolling
