Skater's arms look weird and stiff

[DeadInside]

I am on the fence on getting this game, I had session but the game was too buggy for my liking. Just simply tapping anything will make him bail (I know it's EA). My issue with this game are the skater's arms and their animations, I just can't get over how weird the skater look and I noticed no one in the community is talking about it. Is this something the devs are already looking into or will the skater stay like that till release? Everything else looks great so far, if you don't look at his arms.

you mean before or after the update that the skater moves his arms to keep balance?

The animations look the same even before the update. I don't know anyone in real life who skate like that, the arms just don't move naturally, hopefully it's something they are working on fixing.

The skater will not stay stiff until release, at least from what Easy Day Studios said about wanting to add more mo-cap to further improve character fluidity. The most recent update to the game smoothed out a lot of animations, as well as added new ones. The character moves much more natural than before. If you think it's stiff right now, just look up old videos prior to the Feb 3rd, 2020 update.

In my opinion, it's a good time to jump in while the game is only $20. The board control and trick possibilities are vast and full of variety. Since the board is physics-based, each flip will look slightly different every time you flip. I call Skater XL EA's Skate on steroids. lol
