I've been playing THPS since 2000. Most of these I intuitively figured out on my own, but I had no idea the game penalized you for hitting the same rail. That is is some fantastic advice, thank you.
So much muscle memory that I now need to break! Started practicing these techniques today, and I'm getting the hang of it. It's super hard to break those old habits like special grinds and manuals.
I don't feel like people know AndyTHPS has been a game tester for the series for a long time. Remember those gameplay demos in Underground 1 and 2 with the guy in black and samurai hat? That was Andy
Does anyone else just go into manual and mash the buttons to get as many variations as possible? This is pretty much how I completed every mission in THUG
you can cheese the main game with flat ground combos but if you want to get scores like this its not gonna happen unless you do it at the end of the robot line just to flex
@@thesmilingvagrants yeah these combos are way higher than anything I could get, until of course I complete the game and turn on perfect manuals and perfect grinds at least
That shoulder buttons to spin has been hardest for me because I'm so used to just holding the direction of my flip trick to keep a 180-360 going. When grinding, this also gives me a wider variety of grind tricks. But I've been able to hit 1 million without that or any specials of any kind, just making good use of gaps and the short manual/grind times as mentioned here. These extra tips are looking to take me to the next level! Thanks man!
This is my tip for balancing. Example: Your balance is starting to run out in your manual or grind and the meter is heavily in one direction when you jump out of it. The next time you go back into that grind/manual/lip push your balance to go the opposite direction hard before you start the trick and you will never insta bail soon as you try to do that trick again.
Having been playing TH games since I was.. 5? Meant I knew most of these instinctively just by repeated bailing. I'd avoid doing most of the balance penalty ones without really thinking about it, but didn't really have a concrete confirmation about how the mechanic works until I watched this. Excellent.
This is a fantastic tutorial, thank you for making this! This remake is my first real experience with Tony Hawk, while I got solid at most of the basics, things like double grinding, double manualing and different special trick tips (that being air specials are way more useful) I didnt really know much about, thank you!
Grew up on THUG1 and 2, then THAW. THUG2 was my childhood. My skill capped at 200k. Then THPS1+2, since I’m older and better at video games, I reached 600k. After watching this and practicing relentlessly the last 6 months, my best combo is now 24mil. I have 2 skate parks left to get the secret score on. These tips changed my world. Thank you Andy!!
What I would love to see is basic combos that are easy to practice that eventually lead to bigger, more complicated combos. Its easy for Andy to show these combos because he has so much practice and time into the game, break it down a bit to make it easier to digest. Dude is amazing at the game but when you are capable of doing an 800k combo without trying, you are obviously God like tier to my beginner tier.
This was such a straight-forward, to the point, informative video. Seriously top tier. No bullshit or filler or pandering. It's sad that this type of content is RARE now on youtube, but I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the no BS approach. Also thanks. I just bought this game after rocking THPS 3 on my 64 last year lol. Stoked to get into er.
This helps so much! I'm an Ape that does paintings and I have recently designed 5 boards due to this game coming out! But im still trying to complete the games 100%. Thanks for the video!
I've been playing THPS for nearly 15 years and I find it the best to combine special grinds and manuals with airs. For example in THUG Pro there's a special manual called hot rod which is pretty much essential because it gives you additional speed.
I am trying to get to this level, I've just been playing casually for nostalgia after some smokes, but now I think I'll try to work on my combos. Thanks!
Same, I was watching vids of dudes getting sick mil combos and I was like: nah when I get the game I will just chill and smoke with them tunes and customization options. Its been a week since I bought the game and just got jack black and the alien yesterday, as well as my first 1 mil score, rn im trying to get a 1 mil combo, I said I was going to take it easy but idunno, the game feels so good that I really want to get better and go into online, dude even unlocking jack black was a 'no no' for me, but I just had to had it, I want to platinium this shit, and for that you really gotta get gud af.
Very cool. I was wondering why in all these “high score” videos players were not using special manuals or grinds. I am in the million point club but now with these tips I am hoping to get something higher!
Wow! I've been playing Tony Hawk games for at least 15 years now, and I still didn't know most of these. It'll be hard to get rid of some of my (apparently wrong) habits, but I think it will be worth it. Thank you so much!
Thank you for explaining how to string tricks together without losing my balance so quickly. Scores improved instantly after watching this, completing sick score challenges that seemed impossible.
Wow.. The whole time I was playing I was relying on special grinds and manuals. I feel silly now. Thank you. Now it would be great if you could upload tip videos for each level like good lines that can go forever and stuff like that.
I didn't realize the balance mechanics were set the way you described them. This changes everything! Normally I try to find a ramp or bowl, do a 900 revert, manual, mctwist, revert manual, then a flip special or start grinding. I'll spin as much as possible to increase the base score when doing grab and flip tricks. Then when grinding I'll use the buttons to up the multiplier to the mid 20s, then revert down or jump off to a manual, then do manual combinations till almost 50s. I can get a few million points like that and go into as much overtime as needed. Your way seems to get the scores way faster and with much less balance juggling. Plus it uses more of the level and I like making longer combo lines :)
Great vid a valuable tips, I used to rinse thug 1 & 2 10 years ago, Im getting the feel for wanting to get back into it, its so satisfying to watch somebody awesome, and addictive to play, a few tips here have refreshed my mind and gameplay will be better than ever thanks :)
This is probably the most succinct, well thought-out, and explained video on THPS out there. And as someone who has been looking to get better, I have seen my share.
I'm in the same situation. I played THPS a ton when I was younger and always used dpad to spin. Today I've just been doing some free skate sessions and brute-forcing against my muscle memory using R1/L1 to spin. Feels like I'm relearning the game all over again, but hopefully at some point my brain just switches over.
Eventually you get used to your finger pressing on L1 every time you jump, plus it adds to your multiplier. I sucks at tying to spin with R1 tho I only is L1
I've actually been wondering why there weren't many guides like this. Glad to see this, and hoping for more too >w< Also, dpad... keyboard... has anyone ever tried arcade fight stick? lololol
Now this is the best thps tips video I've seen. I've been playing tony hawk games since the originals and sad to say I didn't know a lot of this. Thanks dude.
Great tips, I already knew these but seeing how much you upped that base score so quickly convinced me to try and get into the habit, specifically using shoulder buttons to spin
I think it wouldn't look good if it said at the beginning "BTW, don't use the awesome looking special grinds and manuals we added in"... but yeah, it would work as an advanced tutorial or stuff like that.
I had no idea grinds worked like that, I thought it was just a fixed penalty based on the number of grinds. Thanks man, you just cracked this game wide open for me.
DUDE I grew up with THPS and THUG, played all of them (plus american wasteland) and I never knew about the penalty for straight rail grinds or 2 manuals. I might have noticed it from time to time that I was losing balance faster than I expected, but I had no idea that was an actual mechanic till now. Nice video.
Andy, thank you for this man! It's been fun to get back into THPS with this release and these tips are huge. They explain a lot about why I get close to getting big combos but always hit a 1.5 mill wall or so. Bravo.
Wild. Been playing thps for 20 years and didn't know how many mistakes I was making. Always had a hard time using triggers for spins when I was like 13 years old and it's totally engrained now
Just got back into thps... I can remember playing with you multiple times back in the day on thps4 also thug 1-2. Doubt you remember (aSS) Special-K also (aSS) Ken. Great video btw... need to regain that muscle memory.
If you're a beginner and still working on 1-2 million combos though, flatland tricks and grind switching is great. Because it's so much easier to balance when you don't also have to focus on finding a line and doing tricks at the same time . I always end with handstand flips, they're the fastest flatland - easy to focus on balancing when you're just mashing square.
I've been hitting 2-10 mil combos after honing in on using special grinds and manny's, adding more air specials removing grinds and using dpad has made me get my best combo of 19 mil on warehouse. Thanks for sharing your knowledge man.
I've grown a lot as a player in the past few days, but I've picked up some bad habits in the process and usually cap out around 200k. Stoked to revamp my play style and use these tips, man. Thank you.
I think a tip you missed but mentioned offhand, would be to always spin. your specials and regular tricks are worth so much more if you can throw a spin on them, even when doing a kickflip or single flatground trick, make it a 180 trick at the very least. I notice you do that all the time in your lines, but didn't specifically mention that, just the 540 specials =)
Good shit man! Here I thought I already knew enough. I've been playing Tony Hawk games since the first THPS. Half of this I had no idea was in the game. My combos were already pretty good to begin with. Can't wait to see how they get now that I know more about the scoring system.
20 year vet player and i cant wait to try these great tips. I knew a few bits and pieces like dont double tricks but double grinding and double manual i did not know as well as some other good tips. I can easily score about a 500k combo with all the mistakes ive been making so cant wait to up my game and try it out and hopefully 1 million will become easy if i clean it up. Thanks.

I hope this doesn't blow up. I want these precious secrets for myself lol
Right lol
Don't be stingy, Mark
Online is gonna hit different
Shy Guy follow proto bud!
That’s kinda lame.
Dude I've played this game since I was a kid, I never knew about these hidden mechanics. This video was a game changer for me. You're amazing!
"No special grinds/manuals"
welp, looks like playing as Rodney Mullen is out of the question
Cheers for the tips. I've been playing since the first game, and have recently got the remaster and am really enjoying it. These tips will help
Ok sure, i'll do all of that!
*cries in the shower*
DUDE I grew up with THPS and THUG, played all of them (plus american wasteland) and I never knew about the penalty for straight rail grinds or 2 manuals. I might have noticed it from time to time that I was losing balance faster than I expected, but I had no idea that was an actual mechanic till now.
Nice video.
Hopefully now the flatland spammers can learn to play the game properly
Shaun Williams preach
I had no idea about the double grind thing, but that makes perfect sense.
I thought I was good on this game. I'm not
Jesus Christ, I've been playing Tony Hawks since PlayStation 1 in this man. Just shattered everything I know about this game in like 2 minutes
Andy, thank you for this man! It's been fun to get back into THPS with this release and these tips are huge. They explain a lot about why I get close to getting big combos but always hit a 1.5 mill wall or so. Bravo.
I always hit a 100,000 wall. I used to be good at THUG as a kid
Wild. Been playing thps for 20 years and didn't know how many mistakes I was making. Always had a hard time using triggers for spins when I was like 13 years old and it's totally engrained now
Holy shit, AndyTHPS. You are a legend my friend. Glad to see you around still.
Just got back into thps... I can remember playing with you multiple times back in the day on thps4 also thug 1-2. Doubt you remember (aSS) Special-K also (aSS) Ken. Great video btw... need to regain that muscle memory.
If you're a beginner and still working on 1-2 million combos though, flatland tricks and grind switching is great. Because it's so much easier to balance when you don't also have to focus on finding a line and doing tricks at the same time . I always end with handstand flips, they're the fastest flatland - easy to focus on balancing when you're just mashing square.
Honestly if you just focus on basebuilding 1-2m is nothing
@@kyleheath6753 I don't know, I just seem to be missing inputs and bailing a lot.
This is awesome man. Game changer right here.
Awsome video very understanding of how the mechanics work etc
I've been hitting 2-10 mil combos after honing in on using special grinds and manny's, adding more air specials removing grinds and using dpad has made me get my best combo of 19 mil on warehouse. Thanks for sharing your knowledge man.
I've grown a lot as a player in the past few days, but I've picked up some bad habits in the process and usually cap out around 200k. Stoked to revamp my play style and use these tips, man. Thank you.
thanks for helping out the community andy we appreciate it
I can't stop using d-pad for spins... A terrible habit I developed back in the original days. Great video, thanks!!
I think a tip you missed but mentioned offhand, would be to always spin. your specials and regular tricks are worth so much more if you can throw a spin on them, even when doing a kickflip or single flatground trick, make it a 180 trick at the very least. I notice you do that all the time in your lines, but didn't specifically mention that, just the 540 specials =)
Good shit man! Here I thought I already knew enough. I've been playing Tony Hawk games since the first THPS. Half of this I had no idea was in the game. My combos were already pretty good to begin with. Can't wait to see how they get now that I know more about the scoring system.
Great guide Andy! This is much needed in the thps community. Making me want to make a guide now.
I have never watched a more helpful tips and tricks video.
20 year vet player and i cant wait to try these great tips. I knew a few bits and pieces like dont double tricks but double grinding and double manual i did not know as well as some other good tips. I can easily score about a 500k combo with all the mistakes ive been making so cant wait to up my game and try it out and hopefully 1 million will become easy if i clean it up. Thanks.
I was looking for this video so much thanks
I dont know too much english so i dont understand it all but HELP ME A LOT ANYWAY
You truly are the Master Zen that we needed
