Note that grabs also have the "switched" prefix if performing it in a switched (opposite stance of the rider's default) stance; thus a switched method can be performed if you spin 180° when you are able to perform a method (you can keep spinning to switch between the tricks). | Note that grabs also have the "switched" prefix if performing it in a switched (opposite stance of the rider's default) stance; thus a switched method can be performed if you spin 180° when you are able to perform a method (you can keep spinning to switch between the tricks). |
Revision as of 04:40, 4 December 2006
Mobility
- : Moves the board.
- : Adjusts the camera.
- : Jump. Press and hold to display the jump meter; a circle that fills up the longer you hold A. For the highest (and best for tricks) jump release A when the meter is full, this will cause slowmotion in single player; note that holding A for too long will cause the meter to reset and the jump to be minimal.
- : Tuck the boarder to make them more aerodynamic; increases acceleration and top speed but decreases turning ability. If falling, press just before landing to absorb the shock.
- : Performs a 180° spin on the ground, thus switching between a normal and switched stance.
Regaining Balance
If you land badly (i.e. land without pressing or unparallel with your motion) you will lose your balance and a balance meter will appear; spin the control stick in any direction until you regain your balance. Note that your balance is lost exponentially so it progressively becomes more difficult to regain. If the meter is drained your boarder will fall.
Tricks
Rotations
The following apply while in mid-air:
- + : Rotates the boarder and causes slow motion in single player.
- Rotating the control stick clockwise will rotate the boarder to the right. In normal stance this performs a backside spin, a switch frontside if in a switched stance.
- Rotating the control stick counter-clockwise will rotate the boarder to the left. In normal stance this performs a frontside spin, a switch backside if in a switched stance.
- Pushing the control stick up will cause the boarder to perform a front flip.
- Pushing the control stick down will cause the boarder to perform a back flip.
Grabs
Note that grabs also have the "switched" prefix if performing it in a switched (opposite stance of the rider's default) stance; thus a switched method can be performed if you spin 180° when you are able to perform a method (you can keep spinning to switch between the tricks). The following apply while in midair:
- : Performs a Mute.
- + :Performs a Method.
- + :Performs a Stalefish.
- + :Performs a Lien Air.
- + :Performs a Seatbelt.
- : Performs an Indy.
- + : Performs a Flying Squirrel.
- + : Performs an Indy Nosebone.
- + : Performs a Rocket.
- + : Performs a Tail Grab.
- : Performs a Melanchollie.
- + : Performs a Tweaked.
- + : Performs a Roastbeef.
- + : Performs a Crail.
- + : Performs a Japan Air.
Grinding
- : Begin grinding when your board touches objects like rails and logs, the grind is determined by the stance of the boarder and angle of the board in relation to the object.
- 50/50 Grind - Performed if the board is parallel to the object. Can be performed as "Switch 50/50" if stance is rotated.
- FS Grind - Performed if perpendicular to the object and facing the same direction as the boarder's motion.
- BS Grind - Performed if perpendicular to the object and facing the opposite direction as the boarder's motion (opposite of an FS Grind).
- /: Control the balance meter, if the indicator hits the red zones of the meter you will dismount automatically.
- : Dismount the object;.
