SSX |OT| Modern Boardfare

Did you see that YouTube video I posted a few pages back? It helped me with Death Zone, got me to take a couple lines that work out better. But yeah luck does play a big part, once you lose your Tricky or you crash once you're usually hosed.
Don't worry, it happens . . .

But never to Yuri.
 
Anybody find themselves missing Johnny Morgan's music and sound design from the first three games? It's pretty nitpicky, but I really missed not just having the music fade out on jumps, but recede into the basic beat driving the tune. The sound design in the latest one is good too, but it's just not the same. Wish there were options regarding the remix feature.

Yeah also pretty sure in some areas in Tricky when you went off the beaten path, a completely different song would get mixed in and get louder. Really cool.

Hey I've got what I would describe as a serious issue. Namely I often cant see custom global events my friend makes, and he can't see ones I make. This happens about a quarter of the time. Is anyone having this problem too?

Whoa, that's crazy!

Are you using the Rivals page of RiderNet to try and find their stuff? Or is it not showing up there and not on the globe menu either?

It's not showing up on the globe. I havent tried through the rivals menu, I'll try that next time.

But, 3/4 of the time it DOES show up on the globe.

I've never really seen that because I find the Rivals page a much quicker way to get into events where friends are playing, but I'll definitely keep my eye open for it.

I agree that RiderNet 2.0 should have some sorting/filtering features. Iteration will only make it better.

Here's my list of fun, non insane drops. By insane I mean either tons of death pits, or stuff that makes you freeze to death or run out of air. It's a work in progress.


SSX good drops

Rockies: 
Whitehorse mtn: Curlies Moustache, JT2
Extinguisher tower: Dagger, Broken tooth

Alaska: 
Silverthrone: Pan, unsanctioned (night time)
Foraker: Lock Jaw

Siberia: 
Boris: Vapor Trail, Big Show
Kara-Oiuk: critical mass, Don't make me

Himalayas:
Makalu: Serenity
Chomo Lonzo: Bear Claw

Alps: 
Vorassay: Hammer, Beyond the fall

Africa: 
Meru: Red Light, cork screw

Where's my Trickypedia ?
I like that track as well.

Again, Diamond is literally the best time/trick/meter for a particular event since only one person can be in Diamond bracket at a time. To hold diamond is to be the best person on an event (so far). It's supposed to be a big thing to have/hold it. If you can get to diamond bracket, and hold it, it means you're the shit.

Oh wow, I didn't realize that. I figured it was top 10% based on that little thing they show with the people and medals.
 
Did terrible on my first try on Rolling Thunder Megabuxxxx. 6.6 Milli. But I did try retrying it this morning and it didn't ask for another 2 milli, so I'll keep trying.

I'll...keep trying.

Keep trying, platinum is definitely doable. I haven't pushed into Diamond yet, but I've been placing decently high platinum for the last two Rolling Thunder events. Easy money.

I like some of Antartica's drops. That might just be me...
 
What's the controls for signature move again? L2 + R2? I couldn't remember when I was playing last night, and kept rewinding myself by mistake. (Oddly, signature move isn't in the digital manual?)

Also, the World Tour is ordered funny. Patagonia being the second peak scared the shit out of me, but Siberia and Himalayas are far less painful to newbs.

Still no comment on a handling patch for ps3? I played the shit out of all three ps2 SSX games, and handling has never been this painful before. When I'm in a narrow pass, or trying to avoid pits, the handling needs to be much more precise than it is now. As someone put it a few pages back, it's as if the characters have no weight to them.

Oh I have to start another trick first, not just hold them when I'm airborne? I think that's what I'm doing wrong.

I'm not sure how exactly the controls are filtered, but I do know that if you hold LT/L2+RT/R2->any trick button (the -> indicating that you should press and hold the trick AFTER you hold LT/L2+RT/R2) will always get you a sig Uber.

If you're pressing a trick button first, I'm pretty sure the control filtering makes it think like you just want to tweak (RT/R2) and then are holding the LT/L2 button for no reason. I believe the order is important.

I always start the trick first and then do L2+R2, and it registers as the signature move.

Can't wait to play as Travis Rice. I'm going to import my Art of Flight soundtrack, go to Alaska and Patagonia, and then BALLSHRED SO HARD.

For people who have no idea who Travis Rice is, watch this right now. You will not be disappointed.
 
Alright so maybe I'm just blind but is there any way to skip to the next song while playing? I found the menu to turn certain songs off but still can't seem to figure out how to change the song when I'm going down the mountains. Most other ea games feature this so I figure I'm just missing it somehow.

Neat! c:

In that case the window is fairly generous then. I found that method to be unreliable, personally.

@slasher: not currently, no. It's a frequently requested feature though, definitely.

I never buy suits unless they are legendary, glowing and with a perk, if I'm eventually going to find one, why buy anything less? Same with Legendary boards, and Equipment. :)

Just spent 10,000,000 Credits on suits just to see if there was a finite amount of them...

..12 pages of suits later, nope.

How do I know who the unique members of team ssx are? Or just the members? I'm trying to get the world tour badges right now and I have no idea who they are :(

What badge are you trying to get? Hawk xSx provided a really great badge guide that's linked in the second post of the OP.

I'm trying to get the ones where you have to beat griff down the different mountains. It would be easier if I didn't have to guess who is a unique member and who isn't. I though Mac was but after beating griff in africa with him I guess he ins't?

All you have to do is beat him with 6 different (read: unique) characters to get gold on each of the specified mountains. Hope this helps.

This would do it:

Beat Griff in Mountain X with
1. Zoe.
2. Ty
3. Tane
4. Elise
5. Kaori
6. Psymon

Exchange any rider for another, and rearrange the order as much as you like, but beating Griff with the same person twice does not count towards getting the gold medal.

Yea I figured it out thanks. You can't use the character you unlocked on the mountain. It shouldn't be too hard to platinum this game. Just gotta keep playing :p

Also I don't have any ssx friends add me PSN:eek:uchx100 :)

Some Mass Effect boards showed up with 158 hours to buy. Seems like there's 2 different ones and you can buy 2 for every character. I only managed to get 2 for Elise though. I leveled up Alexis cause I wanted a level 10 N7 board but they disappeared once I leveled. And Kaori's glitched or something cause the board is completely blank. I bought it anyway hoping another would show up but nope. Then the rest of them disappeared from the store so no more N7 boards for me :(

Bad ass, I just got a lvl 10 N7 board with some serious boost to it.
 
Well it took me a while to weed through the many candidates, but I finally narrowed down the single worst track in the game.

Alps > Grand Golliat > One Step Ahead

I think it's so named because every time you take one step ahead, you invariablly fall off either the left or right side of the track. Thats because the track is basically a narrow line suspended over one giant death pit. It was a bitch and a half to get the trick it and race it done but now that it's over I can rest assured I never have to play it again.

In other news, fuck yeah:
