thrasher skate and destroy....by demzilla

[Demzilla]

a few pointers if you will....


basics....

flip tricks....
there locked to the turning dpad....
so if your doing a heelflip(left)....
he will turn as soon as you activate the heel....
practice hitting the direction of the flip trick seconds before you ollie...
to minimize turning....

grinds....
weight matters...
angles matter....
like real skating..
if your too far right...
it will be too hard to level back right....
so parallel and 15-20 degree is you range of execution...

manuals....
l1+up/dpwn+square...performed in the air....
you can link in...
but you cant link out....
as soon as you hit the triangle for a flip trick he will set up his feet and stop manualing...
triangle is the only button that cancels the manual...
so if your in nose manny...
and you want a n heel out....
hold l1....(the nollie set up button)...during the manual...
tap triangle and left at the same time....
very quickly to smoothly transition from manual to trick out....


snags...

backside 180 out of grinds...
you can not backside 180 out of any grind using the circle button...
you will have to skate a spot with a high enough drop to rotate out casually...

canceling all tricks and body movements...
by hitting square by its self in the air you will freeze...
literally....
never hit square in the air unless your canceling a 360 you wont finish...
sometimes it will let you roll away sideways instead of falling....



techniques....

canceling the the 360 for a backward style grind....
or..
a 180 to backwards grind....
it can only be done if you ollie and set the grind before you 180...
find a flat ledge...
hold circle..(the 180 button)
if you hit left or right on the dpad you will turn...
so like flip tricks....perform at last sec...
as soon as you start your rotation..
immediately set a grind with x....
he will stop rotating and perform the grind backwards...
feebles backwards are hurries...enjoy...


real switch/fakie....
setting up like a regaler trick on a bank..
hold l1+triangle....
as you roll backwards youll still be locked in....
i suggest finding a few ramps next to each other to gain more speed quickly...
you will run out of speed so closer the spot the better....


theres a music glitch....
happens on diff songs..
id just learn to cut the music off immediatly...
if you freze at the main menu then its becasue of the rundmc song...
i normally hurry through the main menu so i can cut the music off faster...
oh ps1 discs are shitty....



there may be a few more things...
il think of more later...

[pawnluvguitarist]

nice...

thanks Demz

[CaseyCadaver]

this was my all time favorite ps1 game. And still second best skating game.

[Corrine]

The most stylish front side flips in any game.

[pawnluvguitarist]

i'm finally getting over the shit graphics, and really starting to enjoy...

[Kuro Potter]

awsome game, i still remember hours spent on it...
wish i still have my ps1...

[Demzilla]

cassey...
correct...

corrine..
you are correct...

pawn
hahahahahahahah....

kuro....
go get a ps2...
while you still can..


graphics be damned....

i bet the physics engine..(the very first version of rockstars rage engine ever)
took up way more space than anything else...

pawn...

have you hurricaned yet?...

[Roccityroller]

Think I have rom/emulator still sittin on my laptop at home. Might have to fire that bish up and make a lil video lol.

I remember playing this at my buddy's house in the morning while he was still asleep. Loved that freakin game. So challenging to get good at, a lot like skate. I remember the first time I landed a 5050 transfer into the bank on that first warehouse-like level I felt so cool. Lol cop tazer chases ftw

[pawnluvguitarist]

how do you FS flip? or any rotation with a flip trick?

[robley]

i somehow never managed to play this game.

[pawnluvguitarist]

just unlocked tre flips...

If you look closely I think they are actually 360 inward kicks haha

[pawnluvguitarist]

never mind, just unlocked the fs flip

[pawnluvguitarist]

OMG playing on Expert is amazing, everything is popped lower, and you have to hit square before you land...

[Corrine]

I'm so pleased you guys are feeling the love for Thrasher.

It really is a game for skaters and in some respects it's better than Skate particularly the rockhard expert mode. I do hope that BB see fit to implement a similar system in the next game, if Rockstar could do it 10 years ago...

[Demzilla]

wow corrine...

i just thought of something..

gonna go post at ea...

[Roccityroller]

Skate 3 with expert mode... Soooo tight. Make some sort of reward like only being able to use filmer pack cams when you're playing on expert, they are "advanced" cams, right?

[Demzilla]

go to ea....
or the link in the s2 general here...




back to thrasher...



a terribly recreated Venice 9 hand ledge...
its hilarious...

but i murdered it...
i could walk away...



also..
the long ledge on the left of your skater going towards the landing area of the venice 9...

the codign is backwards...

if you go up for a front crook...
you get a back crook...
on top like a over crook...

so sick....

[ChamillionLive]

A little google-age can show you how you can play it on PSP.

HaHA i remeber that ledge...priceless.
i loved the ledges @ the subway 2 the far left as soon and u start...good runs and good times.
i played this game 4 hours even after thps came out..my friends hated me cuz i was so good.
Thanks demz for memorys.

[Demzilla]

oh ive googled it many times late at night high with a brand new pay check...

if i owned a custom unlocked psp with thrasher on it...

i would never get ridd of it...
it would be my thraserSP...

oh dreams...




the only problem...

the psp has no l2 r2....

the l2 r 2 is for tilting the skater...
like rodeos and tranny stuff...

in certain runs for certain levels its mandatory...

[H3RBSKI_]

had this when i was about 10 lol but couldnt play it at the time.... gonna see if i can find it for my psp now
