3 Tricks we CANNOT DO ANYMORE!

Sk8rs,

You should be at least a little bit irritated about this, as it's bothering me.

1.) Hippy Jump + Kick (fast) = Board keeps rolling forwards while the skater stays where he hippy jumped from.

(THIS WAS AWESOME FOR SENDING THE BOARD DOWN A STAIRCASE ON TO A RAIL THEN PARKOURING ONTO THE BOARD!)

2.) Footplant & change direction.

(FOOTPLANTS ARE NOW HEAVILY MOMENTUM BASED AND WAY LESS CONTROL)

3.) Footplant 0 Directional Input. 

(WE USED TO BE ABLE TO APPLY A FOOTPLANT INPUT WITH 0 LEFT STICK INPUT AND IT WOULD ALLOW US TO LAND WHERE WE FOOTPLANTED FROM FOR COOL FOOTPLANT > GRINDS.)

 

This is INJUSTICE, to say the least. #1 has been missing since Season 3. #2 and #3 are products of Season 4. 

What tricks will be missing in Season 5?

    I have never agreed with another forum poster as much as I do you. ~1 Month ago we had golden age footplants. They clipped into the ground a little but at least they were FULLY DIRECTIONALLY CONTROLLABLE, YOU COULD TILT MID-AIR AND FOOTPLANT CORNERS OF BOXES/COPING and GO BACK THE WAY YOU CAME.

    Now, it's just *footplant from 100ft. forward momentum takes you*  It went from being a super versatile trick that made skating more fun to now it's just a STUCK animation with FORCED momentum. They're doubling down on it too I bet w/ s5 they're going to be even STURDIER and less CONTROLLABLE

    for me it's the footplants, they might as well not be in the game anymore because ever since the overhaul they look and feel horrible so sadly I can't do them or use them in my clips anymore, the animation makes you come to a dead stop despite momentum and then it magically shoots you ridiculously high and forward that defies logic resulting in a very clumsy awkward looking animation.
