So getting combo multipliers higher is difficult...

[JoJoFan87]

Like the highest I ever got it was like 24 or something. Than it just halted which made me feel like I was doing something wrong than I also noticed sometimes the multiplier will just drop a digit or two even though I'm keep the combo going... Yeah I don't get this game. In a game like Tony Hawk your multiplier doesn't halt or regress as your doing combos so what's going on? Is there something I am not understanding?

That sounds strange! What version of the game are you playing? Because I've heard about some weird bugs with the Switch port, if that's what you're on.

Otherwise, my guess would be hitting walls or obstacles without realizing it. The game doesn't always telegraph when you've hit something as well as it could. I know in Versum Hill especially, I'm always running into scenery or weird grind spots that just kill a combo out of nowhere when it looks like it should've been fine, and I only realize half a minute later when my x40 multiplier suddenly became a x5 again.

My advice is to keep the slide button held whenever you're not trying to make a normal jump, even when you're on a rail or freefalling. If you do run into something or get hit with a point of bad collision, as long as you have the slide button held, the combo should keep going until you get back to a safe point. If you're holding it when you're actively jumping off a rail or a wallride, you'll get less air, but sometimes thats even better for combos, so yknow. Just a matter of knowing when to hold and release.

You shouldn't be losing single digits. Once a combo ends, it resets back to x1. You increase your multiplier by leaning into corners on grind rails and doing wallrides. When you're on the ground, you have to do a manual to keep your combo and multiplier going. Manuals are the absolute most essential thing towards keeping a multiplier going.

If you want to do longer manuals, you have to "boost trick," where you do a trick and boost at the same time. It'll take up boost, but it'll refill the bar after every trick. This alone is gonna be pretty essential in the post-game challenges where you have to rack up literal millions of points.

Few things to note...

- Don't do tricks on corners, otherwise you won't gain an extra digit on your multiplier.

- Each corner and wallride will only count once when it comes to the multiplier, so you have to keep exploring around the map to continue increasing it.

- Avoid stairs. Stairs will kill your combos. Stairs suck and I hate them.

- BMXs seem to have slightly longer manual times than skateboards or rollerblades.

If you unequip your gear and boost-manual up the stairs, you can keep your combo going! It's very hard to get right, but you can still keep them going if youre careful

I can't beat the second gang, can't get my score anywhere near as high as they can no matter how many corners I lean into

You probably need to use more boost tricks. Just adding in a few on rails or in the air gives a huge boost to any combo you have going. Also keep in mind that if you drop the combo at any point, the corners and wallrides you used in the dropped combo won't give any more combo bonuses during the same gang battle.
