FOOTPLANTS: LESS CONTROL

DEVS,

I'll keep this short and sweet.

When you guys updated footplants I was GEEKED. I footplant so often it's a huge part of my sk8r identity.

2 of my FAVORITE techniques are now totally impossible to do now that the update happened.

 

1.) Footplant stall/change direction.

No longer can skate towards a small ledge, ollie & lean back, footplant the edge/corner and return going the way I came from. Impossible now because it's HEAVILY momentum based. You would need to almost fully stop in order to go back the way you came from.

2.) Footplant 0 input.

No longer can skate towards an inclined rail, footplant in 1 PLACE and come back down where I footplanted from, and grind the rail down. Cannot happen.

 

I love the way they look now but we REALLY NEED THE CONTROL BACK :D

    Hey boneyardx0​, I've merged both of your threads because they're about the same subject. Thanks for your feedback! 

     

     

  • DEVS,

     

    Ever since the update I feel like half of my arsenal has been removed. I footplant so much that when I heard you guys were updating them and making them better I was so excited!

     

    Unfortunately the update has removed half of the Footplant trick's identity for me.

     

    NO LONGER POSSIBLE:

    1.) FOOTPLANT 0 INPUT - COME BACK DOWN WHERE YOU FOOTPLANT FROM.

    Regardless of speed as long as you're moving you will just continue forward with momentum.

    2.) FOOTPLANT STALL - CHANGE DIRECTION.

    I used this SO MUCH, and now I literally need to reduce my speed to nearly 0 in order for it to even try to work. 

     

    Please at LEAST fix the stalls, that's the MAIN ISSUE. I can slow down enough for a "fake" 0 input footplant but without the DEV TEAM I 100% cannot footplant stall and change directions
