hey guys, a few people have asked me to post a video on u tube showing that u can achieve the maximum distance on the icarus factor skill game without using a turbo control or glitches, just a standard controller, so check it out guys and please rate if u enjoy, unlike a lot of videos on there showing just a replay of the distance achieved, i show how to vibrate the control in such a way that u can easily make the max distance in this skill game.

Yeah people have asked me how I did it too, the exact same way as you, with 2 thumbs mashing like a madman

[rlmergeuser]

Yup, thankfully as a sports gamer, i mounted a similar button mash technique in the good ol' days of International Track and Field on the PS1 lol... pretty easy to do without the need of turbo.. good job

I will never get this
Maybe my fingers just aren't good enough.

You do realize that you don't need to tap your controller that fast to get it to work now since the update.

yeah, with the update now actually pressing them that fast gets u nowhere, pretty annoying since it used to be based on speed but i do understand why they did it to stop the use of turbo pads.

So I've been trying at this for weeks and I've barely managed gold.

First I tried smashing the buttons like the posted video; I'm not quite as fast but certainly fast enough. My guy craters around silver. I do this for about a half-hour before my arm gets incredibly tired and I just casually press X/Y a few times; crashes around the same spot. I read posts about the update so I try a slower speed but I still just crash around silver.

When I watch a replay I see a slow rythm to the left tigger (X button.) My replay shows mine going off-the-wall nuts but that's the only way I've ever gotten any distance.

The one thing I notice I never have happen is that pick up in speed and the "float". My guy just takes whatever speed I get from the initial launch, maybe hovers for a quick second before taking a nice leasurly plunge to the pavement while flapping his little wings off.

This is honestly more frustrating than platting an extreme track. So many people & posts around the internet "it was so easy I did it in two tries!" yet I can smash the *@&$ out of my controller like an old-school Nintendo-hard SHMUP and get absolutely nowhere.
