How SSX Tricky Became An Accidental Icon

[@ElDraco5]

EA BIG was a time to be alive. They had Tony Hawk players snowboarding and basketball players dabbling in soccer. Nfl and nba street are legendary

[@ShMeatWad]

NBA Street Vol. 2 was a masterpiece. The soundtrack, the courts, the players. Everything was a whole vibe

[@Level_Eleven]

Tony Hawk’s Underground, NBA Street Vol. 2, and SSX Tricky are my top 3 sports video games ever. All classics unrivaled to this day.

[@theotherjared9824]

And now all we have left are the sterile, broken nightmare worlds of Madden, fifa, and nba2k

[@dameTHEname]

I agree it's hard to explain to GEN Z kids how awesome that era of gaming was you simply just had to be there to truly get it.

[@spoonermcgee]

It was absolutely the most fun time for sports game for me. The options were plentiful whether you wanted to do more sim or more arcade and every extreme sport you could imagine had a relatively good game(I might be pretty biased about Dave Mirra 2 though as it was the first game I got with my ps2 ;) ). Anyways, just wanted to say that over the last two weeks I finally downloaded and tried PSCX2, the ps2 emulator for pc, and the first thing I went for was NBA Street! For those of us just bathing in video game nostalgia on youtube I'd say its absolutely worth trying out PSCX2 to revisit some of the greatness😎 Plus, it absolutely fucking rocks that you can push the resolution past 4k and add 16x antisotropic filtering - makes theses old gems look incredible

[@Trendleader863]

If you grew up in the early 2000s PS2 generation you know it was pure gold. An incredible time to be a kid. You had to be there to experience it. I was there. I lived it.

They kinda did in 2012, but the nostalgia junkies whined it wasn’t an SSX3 clone. Also, being made in 2012, it was swallowed up by the sea of edgy COD clones.

[@Cahiller21]

@@inktea256 nah. The game literally had zero multi-player at launch and no split screen. Game was awful

[@jayyyymorris]

In defense of SSX 3 a lot was added to the mechanics of the game that wasn’t present in the first two. They added FS and BS ground presses, rail grinding tricks, an improved rail detection system, aerial stalls, invert and off-axis flips as well as monster tricks with a plethora of returning and new Uber tricks. Not to mention character customization and more attributes to unlock as well as new game modes and events like Slope-style, Big Air, Back Country and Super-Pipe. Plus, new snow rendering technology and audio engineering technology as well as a open world on a 3 peak mountain. The reason the characters were toned down a little was because of the fact that you can customize them so much. You’re supposed to add you’re own spin and wacky personality to the characters as you progress up the mountain and unlock cooler and crazier gear and options. I think that 3 is just as iconic if not more so. There’s more events, more character to the game, more actual characters, more events, more customization and more technical and mechanical skill as well as both electronic and hip hop ost as well as a fully liscense song list with all the audio effects you get when you’re in the air, when you fall and recover and everything in between. SSX 2000 and Tricky put the series on the map, but SSX3 really pushed the genre forward showed what was capable on the hardware at the time and how much fun you could have with such a massive sandbox with infinite replay value. That’s what makes the series so priceless and immortal.

[@kevincollins8620]

I love you defending MY FAVORITE entry in the series. With that said... All the non snowboarding fans, and just videogame players LOVED tricky. I STILL HATE that game. I love the voice actors picked. Hate the characters and the overall game. I'll take deadly decents over it. I loved On tour as well. Skiing and Paul wall on the soundtrack. 3 was the most polished in my opinion. I loved the lift and free ride.

[@wmcduff]

3 is my favourite too. I think I preferred the cooler style and of course, DJ Atomika. Being able to just carve and hunt snowflakes was awesome.

[@MuffinMachine]

SSX 3 was definitely the sweet spot for me. I didn't even recall the rival taunts from Tricky and I had no idea that characters were voiced by well known actors. SSX 3 had the sweet spot in my opinion. I still enjoy a good amount of the music from that game and it actually got me into artists I wouldn't have otherwise. Might go home and play it tonight!

SSX Tricky is the best game in the franchise. I recently started playing it again for the first time in years. The gameplay is still nearly perfect. The flow is amazing. Landing an impossible trick or sequence of tricks is still the best feeling. The soundtrack is great and hearing TRICKY when you land those über tricks never gets old. Rahzel as the MC, fantastic. "Call your mama in the room and show her how great you are." It's a nearly perfect game.

[@joeybatmania9327]

SSX 3 might be toned down in terms of wackiness, but the trick system is even less respectful of physics. Once you’re at max stats, you’ll be doing 1080s and multi-backflips on flat ground

I agree that SSX Tricky is the most iconic. It was a big part of my childhood. However, I really enjoyed SSX 3 and SSX 2012 as well. I liked the snow tracks of SSX 2012 much more than SSX 3 and loved that you could import your own music into the game. It would be cool to see SSX come back, but extreme sports games are mostly dead now.

Yeah, sadly nobody played SSX ‘12 but it has the best controls in the franchise and really added some great innovations and a level of replayability and depth that stands tall today with constant challenges and asynchronous multiplayer.

As someone who grew up playing these games, SSX3 is far and away my favoirte. The open world feel was unbeatable!

[@PlebNC]

While I like Tricky, I preferred SSX3 as I loved the interconnected world and its balance between over-the-top arcadeiness and groundedness that adds awe to what you're doing. Also I'd love to hear the development history of Freakstyle, another EA Big game that's basically SSX but motocross and the riders are characatures of real motocross riders while retaining the SSX silliness.

[@claysoggyfries]

I grew up on SSX 3 but those EA Big games were the peak of EA. Every single one of those EA Bog games were a hit

[@WordsOfWisdomForReal]

I find it so hard to watch this video without yelling at the screen. It's a video that is clearly written with a heavy bias and/or nostalgia towards Tricky, losing objectivity in the process and presenting coloured opinions as facts. The decisions the developers made while developing both SSX 3 and SSX On Tour aren't to be ''blamed'' on anything, they were refreshing and much welcome changes that resulted in 2 games that are simply outshining Tricky in most if not all aspects. Much more advanced level design, polished gameplay, far less stiff controls, incredible overall game design in i.e. making SSX 3 take place on 1 mountain and gamemodes like The Tour in On Tour. Yeah they got rid of an aspect of the game's personality by axing the trash talk and a chunk of the well known and beloved characters, but more than filled the gap with brilliant aesthetics, character customisation and much more engaging mechanics and gameplay. The series didn't go ''off the rails'', it evolved and got better rather than stagnating like many other (extreme) sports games. Tricky is an iconic game, but downplaying SSX 3 and On Tour like they aren't better games nor have achieved a similar status is crazy to me. Everyone, including me, will always have a bias towards one of them, but that doesn't mean 3 legends cannot co-exist. I would have really liked a less biased video in that regard, because most of what's said in this video is just untrue.

[@theharvardyard2356]

I love Tricky, one of my favorite games of all time, but at 5:35 I really feel like you were unfair to SSX 3. 3 absolutely did not tone down the arcade physics, in fact it ramped them up like crazy. The graphical presentation is more realistic and grounded as far as colors and textures, but the gameplay is anything but toned down. Gravity, carving, momentum, boost, air rotation, all these aspects were significantly simplified, streamlined and "arcade-ified" going from Tricky to 3. You could pull misty's with tweaked grabs on flat. Big air events could have you getting 10 seconds of pure airtime and getting 10x backflips. You could no longer pull cork 900s like in Tricky (much like real-life athletes do), but you could do "stalls" and "off-axis" rotations that look cool in the game but have very little basis in reality. Do you remember the Superpipe events? Think of how different the half-pipe physics were on Elysium Alps as compared to Perpendiculous. And of course the way you magnetized to rails streamlined that aspect of the game in a big way. This simplification was both for better and worse, but personally I like the unique feel and gameplay of each game equally as much. The characters don't trash talk in the starting gate, but they still have lively rival interactions during actual races and in cutscenes after races, as well as through text messages over the M-Com. If anything the characters were given more depth and personality as compared to Tricky.

A reboot and expansion would be so sick. They can add online and more maps

[@XZ-III]

Since this was connected with the sims you dont know what youre asking for...

[@Davidofthelost]

Loved this game. My mom has it on the original Xbox. That’s how you know it’s a classic.

[@thesean3194]

Loved the ssx games back in the day. I usually hate reboots, but this would be the exception.

[@MikeLaRock88]

I remember having a crush on Kaori 😂

[@WhatTheHeck1290]

I played this on the gamecube for so damn long. loved this game

[@GuiZeiraZ]

I'll absolutely love a remake! This game is my childhood, man

[@herbalursa3524]

Give me the characters and arcade style of tricky, the grounded aspects of ssx3 with the tight controls and physics of ssx on tour (the psp version specifically) with the stakes of SSX (2012 but don't over complicate the control scheme) and it'll slap.

[@ebenezerspludge8369]

SSX 1 was great. Tricky was good but reused so much. SSX 3 is by far the best IMO. Way bigger game, Way more tracks, Customizable outfits, Dynamic rock and rap soundtrack with a DJ that would talk about things that happened, Finding snowflakes to upgrade your character. 3 large mountains you could free ride, Being able to ride down the whole mountain for a 30 minute track. Not sure how anyone could consider Tricky the better game.

This was my fave ps2 game. I talk about it all the time. I miss it.

[@RCCarDude]

I bought this game about 4 weeks ago on ebay because I missed playing it from 20 years ago. It's just fun gaming.

[@zachcrouch168]

Out of all the games getting remade I don't know how this isn't at the top of the list.

[@MrMattSax]

Tricky was dope but I really loved SSX3. Being built around that one big mountain and being able to go anywhere was really cool.

[@antero_m]

Tricky had a lot of personality, and SSX On Tour nailed what I believe to be the best color correction and graphics, and track layouts, I didn't know about this "Second Coming of Rock" biz, I just liked the fact it was zany, the UI and menus are memorable because of their "highschool rock poser" look, and the announcer was really cool. And it had the best combo system. If Tricky's personality mashed with On Tour I'd have a game to clock in 200 hours on.

[@Emjaytoodope]

Mac was my fav character next to Eddie SSX well forever be legendary

[@GSTripleF]

Tricky was an amazing game. Nothing else comes close. Would buy a remake without thinking.

[@dannyhargreaves1326]

Here’s the thing: It’s Tricky by Run-DMC helped it get over a LOT. Such the perfect song to snowboard to.

[@Retto7-Gaming]

Still upload and play this game daily. Never got old for me :)
