How i learned and how long it took me as a current GC1-2 and top 100 rings player how to learn to master DAR aerial Control
It took me 500 hours to roughly master and about 3 months inconsistently of minimal practice and just trying them when I had the chance in casuals and practicing in free play until I got on pc and started doing rings maps but when I was lower ranked what I did when I was also on console was play free play on the map pillars and do figure 8’s until I was comfortable keeping my car straight with minor air roll adjustments then once I was pretty good at that ramping up the speed aswell I just incorporated air roll spins throughout and made it awkward for myself until I slowly but surely ended up figuring out what movements to do to end up going in the desired direction. Just a side mentality tip as well what I learned very quickly is that learning to control aerials/dribbles or even just car control with DAR is that there is no way to really explain how to exactly do it it sort of just comes to you with time and is not easily explained and remember that this is one of the few mechs in the game that just takes time and not so much a precise movement or combination of exact inputs to end up learning so just do what you find helps the most and I recommend to seek becoming awkward while learning DAR car control since that’s the only way I figured out how to gain better control and finer adjustments to end up going where I wanna go and when quickly. I am also top 80 in rings 3 so i have lots of experience with DAR control in the air and have put a ton of time into learning it and still have some areas where I still feel uncomfortable and lose control.
