Skater XL - HOW TO: Varial Flip, Grind To Grind, Bluntslide, Add Style And More!

[@Jinseng]

The beauty of this game is how they give you the basics like shuvs, boardslides, ollies, etc. and let you figure out how to do the more advanced tricks using what they give you. Best representation of skating to date imo

[@JamieClark]

Grover and Le Chimpe if you check out TrueSkate on mobile, it’s the same physics type engine that you use 2 fingers (like a fingerboard) and hit or flick or swipe the part of the board you want to hit and whatever direction you swipe it, that’s like a foot drag and learning things like dolphin flips, etc, is cool because you figure out how to do it in real life, it’s more similar even than SkaterXL, but I agree this is way better than old school THPS style!

[@D00M3R-SK8]

@@JamieClark TrueSkate is really hard. I had that on an iPhone years ago. You do really have to have a basic grasp on real skating for that I think.

[@JamieClark]

Local Man that’s probably the same for SkateXL then... if you get a very basic understanding, it’s not hard. Super fun game, I’ve gotten years of enjoyment out of it for such a cheap game, $1 for an extra level one time per year extends the life of the game so much, I’ll probably keep it on my phone and iPad forever and when I get a new device, I’ll download it on there. Almost don’t need any other mobile game at all!

[@imdatnigga9715]

Third Sound Studio Whole year late, but I can attest to that. I skated for a few years in elementary and middle school, wasn’t too serious so I only knew ollies shuvs kick flips sort of heel flips and that’s pretty much it. Picked up skater xl and the hardest thing was just getting used to the controls. Then from playing skate 3 I knew the obvious tricks like kick flips etc, so then I would just mess around with the joysticks and it all started making sense. “Varial flip? It looks like a kick flip, that’s just flicking the stick to the left, but also the board spins 180. So that means I have to combine a kick flip with a shuvit?” Thats how I was able to learn tricks on here. Like you said, once you have the basics, just combine them to find new tricks

[@Hitmanthe3rd]

I don't normally comment, but I love your SkateXL videos! They convinced me to get both Skate and session, and have taught me a lot, thank you!

[@joaquim5359]

"Skater XL made simple" 👍

[@MrHAZEORADE]

I was getting frustrated at this game but ended up sticking with it and eventually learning on my own. Still I've been waiting for a video like this to come out, the visual of your control helps a lot. Thank you so much!

[@no-yj2cf]

The video helped me understand how to do these tricks in general; not just in the game. Never really understood how some of these tricks were done until I watched this. Great content as always!

[@Hunne2303]

watch Jonny Giger...he always explains how he learns new tricks, where he places his feet and why...he´s a real master tactician in terms of street skating..."full cab cancel heel" - didn´t even know such stuff exists

[@nosystemnocry]

Haha never mind on the combo grinds. 😂👍 Ahh that's so satisfying to do😁👌

[@DorienKalifornia]

People have been requesting this. Knowing how you move the sticks and everything to do tricks, fucking awesome👌 EDIT: I hope this goes viral🤘

[@JPJPJP98]

I can't wait to see a game of skate in this game xD

[@tiefighter3445]

Wish the developers would communicate on steam. There hasn't been an update for over a month now and I couldn't even play the game because it would crash on start up so I had to refund. Shame. Modders are the only thing that is keeping this game alive at the moment.

[@JeremyBoxerman]

There has been one uploaded today! :)

[@chromeandprimer5361]

Those 180 flips are really a pain in the butt. I always end up bigger flipping when I just want a big flip

[@JohnDoe-wt3pj]

Same I just flick hard and do a bigsin. That's all I got sooo good luck man

[@maximvandendaele3771]

Damn, I still have troubles with varial (heel)flips. It doesn't make sense, even the slightest flick makes the board spin out of control. Particularly annoying when I try to do them in grind combos. Shove-its are no problem however. A lil' help?

[@perpetualdrips]

bro... i feel like i do the same motion but get 4 different tricks everytime. frustrating

[@mikekell920]

Try to flick the shove with the back foot slow while flicking the heel with the front foot quick

[@imdatnigga9715]

Same. Even the slightest Shuv while doing a kick flip to do a Varial flip, it automatically goes to Tre flip. Always for me. I thought Varials were regular (180) Shuvs, with kickflip. And Tre’s were 360 Shuvs with kick flip? I try Varials 100 times in a row as well as shuv it’s, so I know im not over rotating the shuvit to a 360 shuv it. But I will say, the times I do actually get the trick is when I flick the kickflip fast while rotating for the shuv it slow. Still so inconsistent though. Man I suck at this game lol

[@imdatnigga9715]

Jake Hess same

[@RoastyBunz]

This video is really goddamn useful thanks Night. Hope to see this become a series

[@LJT9393]

Been watching you play this game so much that last night on skate 3 I was looking for the board(s) with the line cut in the grip tape lol.

[@DenyBlackburn]

I actually see E-Sport potential with this game because you can be so creative, and add your style with practice. They just need to add a Hardcore Mode for this ;)

[@explosionguy23]

I feel like I've got a good amount of things down in this game except for varialflips/inwards/hardflips. It seems like even doing a slow scoop I'll end up accidentally doing Tres/360 hardflips/360 inward heels.

[@imTyp0_]

ReactionaryEmo Tip: use the XXL mod to slow down your scoop speed

[@imdatnigga9715]

Oh thank God I’m not the only one struggling hard with this. Just like you, the slightest fucking scoop turns into a whole tre flip. I’ll think, okay maybe I’m rotating the shuv it too much, turning it into a 360 Shuv/Tre. So let me practice my Shuvs. I’ll do 100 in a row, then combine those with the kickflips, while rotating the Shuv slowly... tre flip. But I will say that slowly rotating the Shuv was the only thing that helps the most, but even then it’s so inconsistent. I can do hard flips and inward heels one HUNDRED times more consistent. Man fuck varials lol I need to get better

[@SwiftlySkating]

Any tips on the grind to grind, no matter how I try to use both triggers the never pop straight

[@JerryRiceBall]

Speeds is like the fucking game genie over here!!

[@citesk8]

I seaching this tipe of video and i im so happy found this at the same time you uploaded haha this help me a lot thank man you are the one

[@jgoodwin6901]

Hahaha 😂 I couldn’t stop laughing at that intro.. the more I played it.. the funnier it got

[@denniskapczynski9728]

can u try to get on the stage roof and sk8 off

[@sugma7874]

thanks i always struggled with blunts

[@jayvsson]

me too, I always thought it was sticks left - right opposites or left - right together. double down or double up with a little 90 helps - Got em now

[@DenyBlackburn]

Speeds really turns into some kind of Professor of SkateXL lol

[@glenvolpe7525]

do I need to change settings to get grind to grind because I always end up ollie-ing way past the ledge

[@Treeezplz]

Only thing I want changed is the hardflips and frontside flips. If the hardflips went thru the legs a little and the frontside flips were a little more fluid and at the same time instead of kickflip turn 180. that would be awesome.

[@mayrakoira5397]

I feel like I do better doubleflips if I don't do the flick the same time I do the pop-up, but a little late from it. Also how about in skate 2 or 3 cause I sometimes want to play those... Can you really choose where to land from a grind? I feel like I have to grind to the end of the obstacle or just spin something crazy out so that it kinds works... But then it also sometimes gets into another grind And thank you! I've been really enjoying your content lately! Keep it up!

[@D00M3R-SK8]

I think you're meant to flip later rather than sooner or the flip will rocket. I have been trying to get more aesthetic tricks tonight as I was rocketing a lot, and found that if you flip later when the board is more level it looks a lot nicer. it's weird though as I can do nicer hardflips and inward heels than I can regular kickflips and heel flips in this game. I know I just need to practice, but because the kick and heelflip are so basic it's a lot easier to spot imperfections.

[@ProgressSkateboarding]

Need this! Thanks, Nightspeed.

[@t0kit4ye]

Man it's so cool i love it

Ay thank you Nightspeeds this is v good

[@KevinnBrace]

thank you so much bro!

[@codycovers3476]

Hey do you still have those shoes there pretty sick

[@redskins572]

Are there more flip tricks in session then skater xl, or the same?

[@jordanmcintosh5451]

More in Session(pressure flips and Impossibles)

[@legumanigo]

Good job!

[@Mkosta7]

What kinda PC do you got

[@pfirsichkarton]

how do i do those fast salad to switch crooked grinds :o

[@cunnyfunt9997]

How did ya change ur charater

[@Hunne2303]

U r one week late NS^^ I had to figure that out all by myself - except the double triggers to stay put but I was suspecting something like that...only thing left now is how to land big air tricks...4 out of 5 times I´ll bail on a gap and I can´t see a reason why...

[@kesaesa2289]

You can low pop and do 2 kick flips

[@o0squid0o]

Great tips but it would be easier to consistently show what to do and be easier to see if you just enabled the slomo mod thats how i teach people at first then you just have to do things faster at the normal speed.

[@lewiswhitwell6869]

Turn the controls white, can't see it when it black!

[@aleksandermateja7612]

Night where is the skate 2 series?

[@claytencs]

If you all want to see someone who has a lot of these tricks on lock, check out my destroying series I'm working on. Much love, so glad there's a badass skate game out now!

[@Lucask84ever]

On treflips i like to do the felipe gustavo style

[@Solo-696]

Is 8gb RAM good enough? My new laptop specs: - 7th generation AMD A6-9225 Professor with Radeon R4 Graphics - 4gb, RAM 2400MHz, DDR4(upgrading to 8gb) - 1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive I'm new to pc/laptop gaming

[@tomu2981]

Probably 15-30fps depending on map on low settings 720p. 8gb ram is enough but that cpu and gpu are pretty weak. If that is playable to you then it is fine but I suggest to buy desktop pc if you have money and you are going to play more games on pc.

[@aaronsabori92]

I noticed you never do overcrooks

[@D00M3R-SK8]

I did a kickflip underflip, but I don't know how I did it and have not been able to replicate. (I think that's what it's called) I did half a kickflip then spun it back round, like a 180 one way, then the other way)

[@SKATEGRAFFDANK]

Pretty much like Skate controls

[@kbergrgb]

i've almost done a 360 double inward heel on flat irl wich would be cool to land this year

[@AaronDirectos]

Hey bro i can do the imposible and i laser flip think im the first person that i done

You cannot do a real impossible in skater xl you can only do a 360 shuv it that looks like an impossible.

nice tutorial man! and thanks for mapping the controler inputs! :) does anyone know if its possible to do a nose to tailslide on the same side of the rail/ledge? I want to recreate kelvin hoeflers half cab nose to back tail (/watch?v=GlNSbj5IE-M) but I dont know if thats even possible. havent succeeded yet :/

[@alexdavies7112]

Yes it's possible, watch the Twitch streamers who play this, a few of them can do it.

[@Chris081188]

well, I dont know any twitch skater xl streamers (besides night^^). got any suggestions for me? and do you know if the trick was made on a curved, or a straight slide?

[@Chris081188]

It wasnt till now that I noticed, nightspeeds tut on "how to exit grinds" actually would help me to get a lot further with that trick. just pressing both triggers, instead of (n)one helped a lot! now I gotta play with rail/ledge angles (steepness), grind pop force and rotation, to get a nice and clean one :)
