Why can't I do some nollie & fakie tricks during grind?

[etran9e]

Is this a bug or something? I can do nollie kickflip during grind but can't do nollie heelflip. Also can do nollie with press s key during grind but can't do nollie press w key during grind. on a flat, I can do every tricks of 4 stances.

I've tested another tricks on ledge. Heelflip, Varial & inward heelflip have a problem. Kickflip, hardflip, shoveflip and, this is important, frontside shove-it have no problem. It seems tricks on ledge starting with 'w & a keys' have problem.


Updated.
Changed key bindings, though still problems. Left and up tricks broke.

Hi etran9e, it's rare to find somebody who pays so much attention to the game! wow! allow me to explain

This is a feature that relates to real skateboarding, nollie and fakie are both stances that launch tricks off of the nose of the skateboard. You can observe this by tapping L/R spin at the same time while in neutral rolling position, the skater will shift to the front of the board, ready to launch a trick off the nose (nollie, or if in switch stance, fakie)

Similarly, grinds that use S and D keys, are nose "stance" grinds, and so releasing a trick from this position, a skater would do a nollie trick. However, A and W are not on the nose of the board, therefore the tricks launched out of them are not nollie!

However, if you want to do a Nollie Heelflip for example out of a grind, you would trick, grind with D (nosegrind), hold A (for a heelflip) but DONT release D until you have pressed A (because you will naturally trick out because of key release), then release D, finally, release A to do a Heelflip

Nollie Heelflip!

Holy smokes my mind is blown. I never thought to see if there were switch ollies and fakies !_!. That's pretty intense, man.

Once you use nollie, switch and fakie, you'll enter new phase of OlliOlli. Very, DIZZY ;)

I just started getting spins down, but I never even imagined other fakies and switch tricks were in the game. I'm still having issues getting my jaw off the ground :O

[etran9e]

IMO these technics should be included in tutorials. Though, casual players would hate these.

Anyway, GL your Olli :)
