So for smaller jumps it's better to do easier tricks so I have time to spin around? Can't seem to get 60x on Titan 2.

Not being able to nail revert manuals is such a hard skill check, it's holding me back from the completing pro and later amateur challenges.
In so inconsistent, there must be something I'm doing wrong. I've tried every sort of timing, using noise and animation cues but it all seems random.

I was playing for about 45 minutes last night... when I decided to get up for a drink, I took a look down at my controller and found little shards from the DS4 stick all over the controller. Twas pretty gnarly. I fear for my controllers

Listening to the sound made when you land thr revert is important. After you hear that instantly move the stick left or right. Once you get used to the rhythm it is hard not to hit.
Don't use manual and try to get as many perfect landings and grinds as possible. Upper route was easier for me.
Finished RAD mode. Wow this game is great. Only thing that is still a problem that was also in the first is not seeing enough of the level to prepare for what is coming up.

Ok now I'm getting pissed off. Why the fuck does the double laserflip not register the first motion? The motion in the trictionary is legit wrong. It's not doing it, and I fucking know I'm doing the exact motion it says. For some reason the game completely ignores your clockwise motion and decides to act as if you're only doing a backside shove it. God I'm so mad right now. To pull this off from an overcrook grind in he very limited window you have is bad enough so I would like the game to at least register when I do a correct fucking motion.
But it's a flat and I can't help myself!
lol manuals slow you down alot though so try not to do them unless it is a must.
Just try do it faster. I usually practiced moves on flat so that I got the motion down.

Speed isn't the issue. I've tried doing it as fast as possible. I've tried it extra slow. I've tried it in between. It doesn't work. And yes I'm practicing on flat.

Oh god I just figured out what I've been doing wrong. You don't hold L down and do the motion. You do tge motion and tap L. Ok my bad.
You can do it like that? I always hold down L and do the motion.

Well all I know is now that I do it like this it's actually working.

Ok new question. Why is the game not counting my overcrook grind to double laserflip? I just did it several times yet the challenge isn't done.
Lol never mind. It registers after you land.

Ok so this is easily the best game I have played all year. I played the previous game solely on the vita and it just didn't click for me but this time on the ds4 it's clicked in a big way and I can't put it down. The only problem is Its destroyed the rubber on the thumbstick on my ds4, it's in tatters OT title is 100% correct

The title was made in jest but has turned out to be unfortunately accurate
I've ordered some grips for my controller finally

I read that in Wade Barret's voice. Was that intentional?
Because Revert Manuals are locked in to a specific sequence of finger motions once you do get it you won't have to rely on the sound or animation cues and instead by able to pull it off instinctively. Sometimes focusing too much on the sound or animation can be unnecessary to actually getting the timing right.
Heck yeah! I'm taking all over Pro Titan(tron) tonight.
You'll find that sometimes it's good to just hop a rail early instead of attempting the entire grind in order to retain your momentum.

Thanks for the tips, I managed reach the goal in 38 seconds with (relative) ease without manual'ing.
I'm seriously loving this game, doing which challenges I can first go round and then hitting up the others later as and when I have renewed patience. If nothing else I think I'll manage to clear all the amateur challenges with a little more practice.

I'm just two challenges short of clearing tthe amateur challenges.
Does anyone have any advice on how to do Titan Sky 5-2 - The Kick Underflip challenge. I can pull the move off, but not as part of a combo, and I can't find a spot high enough to perform the move. I assume its possible to do the trick from one of the springs/launchers?
The other is Titan Sky 5-4 - Nosegrind into Laserflip. I can't transition from the nosegrind to the laserflip at all after many times trying. Any tips?

They seem to unlock as you encounter challenges relating to that mechanic in the career mode.
Hold L1 during the entire motion instead.
You can pull off the Kickflip Underflip at the very first descending rail (so when you're just about to jump down after the long flat section) at the very beginning of the level.
When you're in the Nosegrind just take your time (I'm assuming you can fine a long piece of rail to perform this on such as through the core) and move your stick clockwise to the 9 o'clock position. Now just flick it counter-clockwise back the way you came to pull off the Laserflip.
I've been trying to pull this move for the last hour. I can double laserflip no problem... just not out of that grind grrrr
It should unlock when you reach last amateur level.

Hit a wall on Titan 2 amateur, all I want to do is finish amateur... game is going to torture me now!
Any tips on just getting through the titan levels?

Dam. Titan Sky 2 is kicking my ass.
Practice. Titan Sky levels are way harder than everything else in the game. Here is a video how to do all Titan Sky amateur challenges.
It's funny, I'm finishing up the Titan pro challenges and even I think some of the amateur levels are harder in comparison.

What a fucking game. Finally finished the RAD levels and still can't believe I did it. Nowhere near as frustrating as some of the advanced tricks though. In fact, pulling those advanced tricks off is my only real complaint with the game - it's just way too fickle.
Easily my favorite game of the year so far. My poor Vita thumbstick though.

It's far simpler than that. Just do the following within the game itself:
1. For the first time you use cross-save, select 'Reset cross save'. This is because of a minor bug that is being patched out, otherwise you wouldn't need to reset.
2. Select 'Sync cross save' on the PS4.
3. Select 'Sync cross save' on the Vita.
4. Profit.
Obviously reverse the PS4/Vita as appropriate.
Having played on both, I would personally recommend playing on the Vita over the PS4. The lag input is less, the controls are slightly easier, and it's more forgiving on the Vita's thumbstick that the DS4's rubber.

Worked like a charm! It took me longer to get the Kick Underflip challenge, I couldn't get the motion right when combo'ing and so it was more luck than skill when I finally got it!
That's all the amateur challenges done, now onto finishing off the pro levels and then working on the pro challenges... Damn I love this game!
Yeah I would say that the pro and amateur titan sky levels are equally hard. Challenges are harder in pro though.
