[MK8] Softdrifting Tutorial
816"What is softdrifting?"
"How do you softdrift?"
"So it's like 45 degrees or something like that?"
"Where do I softdrift? Every turn?"
All these questions are answered in this video!
When the community first discovered softdrifting, I learned it on my own with no tutorials, just with the guideline of "45 degrees." I also never bothered to search for one since I knew there wouldn't be any results. With that in mind, I decided to step up to the plate and make a tutorial myself!
I demonstrated this technique with Mario Kart Stadium as the prime example. Many people ask how to cover the first turn, which then makes them ask how to softdrift. This video should solve that problem, I hope.
Other examples are later included, and a tutorial with hands is shown as well. Apologies if that part isn't clear enough to see, but you should get the main idea.
The most basic thing to associate softdrifting with, to me, is where the control stick faces. I would have it in a range of 30-70 degrees left or right (45 to simplify), and that should produce a faster mini turbo. Get that part down and you'll easily get the hang of it.
If you wanna see a specific part of the video, you can skip to it by clicking on one of the time stamps below:

The vehicle combination of the Pipe Frame, Standard Tires, and Super Glider was utilized throughout the entire video for simplicity. This works with every single vehicle.
