l1 and l2 - kick speed (even analog kick speed)

L1 and L2 should be optional buttons for kicking speed

they are much more intuitive and comfertable buttons for that than a and x

they are also unbound while on board


also: the skateboard speed is way too fast.

i can prove that its way to fast also: if you kick up to speeds faster than a car and then drive straight into a ramp, your speed just magically dissappears? 

so if we are not allowed to fly out of ramps (tonoy howk style) with the speed we can gain by simply kicking the skateboard ( to car like speeds ) 

then obviously, we shouldnt even be able to drive those speeds


(the reason why i bring that up is because the game would be much more enjoyable if it was possible to idle skate at lower speeds, which currently it isnt. you could instead use: 

L1 & L2 left = right kick speed
x and a = speed intensity of kicks 

SO= youd be able to hold down L1, to constantly idle kick speed, like people do in real life on skate boards

and adjust the speed with A and X by holding either or to decrease increase the speed of each kick with L1. (L2 being break (put down a foot on the ground to reduce speed) (like you do in real life) 


also: those who are fortunate enough to have analog L1 % L2 would of course be able to kick speed with L1 L2 analogically, like when you increase speed with a car in a car game, meaning, they adjust the analog push of L1, to make the skater raise his leg and adjust EACH KICK (it would be super cool to play like that) (i dont have analog L keys. so this post is purely out of utalitarian purpose of how i think the game would be amazingly cool. 

"if we slow down the speeds of walking and skating then the game becomes boring "too real". . . " 

not really i dont think so: currently the exploring part of the game has been spoiled by too fast rolling/running/skating speeds 

then you spoil the skating parts by making it impossible to fly off ramps at the speeds you can skate through the city . . . 

thats a double negative

either make the game like tono howk

or make it about the realistic experience of exploring the city and skating 

dont make the worst of two (which is the current state) = skating is bland and boring (which can be cool) while speeds are well . . . .the bland and boring part of skating dies when u make it impossible to roam skate at low speeds

and the only reason you didnt put speed on L1 and L2  (accelerate and break) 
was because you knew that analog sticks could enable analog kicking leg work

(WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING)

(well currently i dont see why tehy are unbound? l1 and l2 does nothing . . . so far in the game ..  . while on board . . . .and when ur off board . . . . instead of controlling walking pace . . . u start rolling around . . . 

then just make the skating into the same sort of "lol" level? aka = tony hawk style (which is fun still)


basically this suggestion is about making the game more realistic fully or if not, make it fully about the dream virtual realm.  . . instead of making a boring mix of none both

it would actually be much cooler if the reason why ud skate in this game would be for the purpose of speed. . . . 

but also, skating speeds would be quite limited (like the speeds ramps want to allow u when u come at the speed of a car straight at them (some sort of magnetic magical pull just eliminates all speed for some reason) 

youd make more economical revenue of how large the map is (maps) (if u make more maps) 

since people wouldnt be able to explore the map as fast

and people would appreciate the maps more

the spots more

encounters more

idle roaming either walkign or skating would also be appreciated more . . . . 

the whole game would just feel like a really really cool game . . . and i get that its free to play, but why limit the quality of the game to that? 

id happily put tons of money into this game (content, etc. ) if the feel of the game was premium, like ur playing gta 6 pre release and its not about killing and stealing 

but simply just skating? ? ? ? ?? ?? ? ? ?

that be awesome and people would prolly wanna invest their money in an awesome game

so economically, it makes no sense to ruin your own product 

and inmo, if u choose to not bind kickspeed to analog sticks . . . . then, that looks to me like u just wanna degrade the quality of the "free to play" for just, stupid reasons
