I guarantee its been discussed before but you should really be able to play events with an option that everyone is required to have at the bare minimum auto revert off. Kids just spam tricks landing side ways defying physics gets boring.. I'm not even good, but the realism is satfying to me. I wanna see real lines and realistic physics when playing against others online. Respect to those who turn it off with the other assists. We can tell!!
If there was some kind of player filtering it'd probably be really difficult to actually even get a match started, who knows how many people in the lobby are running a zero-assist control scheme at any given moment who also want to play a spot battle or throwdown.
Most players with assists on are not particularly tricky to beat, they typically don't know the game's mechanics in a way a veteran player will which offers a huge advantage that can't be offset with the game saving them from falling off the board. They'll crash into walls or jump too early/late and crash into the rail/hubba etc.
I think when it comes to spamming tricks there should be reduced points each time they do a flip trick in rapid succession. For instance let's say they flip trick revert then flip trick it won't trigger but when they exceed doing the same thing repeatedly the score for that trick is reduced greatly by half per time they do the combo. When they fully land the trigger resets. Let's say they do this for a five trick sequence it doesn't trigger but once the trick sequence hits 7 it reduces trick points by half each time they do that sequence.
Oh so you are bothered by OTHER skaters using auto revert. I just hate the input for reverting it's such a hassle for me to swing my stick around fully when I could just lightly shift it around. I like auto revert because I can heelflip, tweak it out to the right (regular) and revert it back straight for a lil extra steez.
I have used it for awhile so I just kinda fw it because it adds a bit of speed to reverting for me. I lowkey wish we had a rotation button rather than just the left stick for directions and rotation.
Awicb people who run assists thats above 30 relatively are easy to beat because the landing mechanics are overridden. If the grind assist is pulling them onto a rail it's difficult to get off the rail wasting time, and if it's vert assist when they transition to make a combo it's slower.
Other key takeaways for them is when they go up ramps they get stuck in stalls easier wasting time more and making it difficult to combo.
