1080 was one of my first experiences with video games at about 6 years old. I spent hours playing it in a basement on my friend’s older brother’s N64. When I got older and had my own consoles, I picked up a used copy of SSX 3 when I was about 12. That game had amazing replay value, I played it for years. The character customization and free-world feel to the game were so engaging. At that time of my life, I was starting to get into skateboarding, and I had even gone skiing a couple of times. I always thought snowboarding games were cool racing games and button mashers, and then over the years I could actually see myself snowboarding. You said SSX 3 had a “grown up” feel to it and that was perfect for me at the time. The intensity of the big air and the single player experience of “conquering the mountain” felt so much cooler because I had a taste of snowboarding video games when I was younger, and as the video games were getting better I was also getting better irl. I felt like I could one day be like one of the characters I was playing...in a realistic way of course. As a kid that’s a great feeling. Thanks for the video review!

Hey man, great video and analysis! I really like putting it as SSX 3 being SSX trying to "grow up", for better and for worse. A very accurate yet succinct way to put it. Honestly, the thing about these two games is that you have two games that are the best in their bracket - Tricky is the best snowboarding game to go completely over the top and oozing personality, 3 is the best snowboarding game to ever offer the complete package with a living, breathing open world. More often than not which one is your favorite seems to come down to which one you played first, and there also seems to be a link where the more you play SSX games, the more you sway towards the side of 3 because of its more polished and responsive controls.
@Under10Hours4 жыл бұрын
YES! This is exactly the point I was trying to make. They both nail different aspects that are strong in their own ways.

I played a ton of both, but SSX 3 is the favorite in my book. It was the first game I ever actually followed pre-release. I remember I'd come home after school and go on their website to watch the teaser videos every day before it came out (that was the only place you could find pre-release videos at the time; no KZbin). Then when it finally came out, it felt like a huge evolution. The more "open" world and the 30 minute peak to base run made it feel huge, and the collectibles/secrets made it really feel worth exploring. And the DJ talking about the antics of the in-game characters really made it feel like an event that brought everybody in town for a never ending weekend.

Great video. I played ssx3 for over a decade before tricky so I’m definitely bias towards 3. However, I think although ssx 3 for me overall is better and more enjoyable, due to the open world and polished controls, tricky is by far the better game for strictly racing. After such a long time on 3 I found it hard and still do find it hard doing tricks ton tricky but that could still be down to me being used to 3’s controls and autocomplete of tricks.
@Under10Hours3 жыл бұрын
I totally agree with you about the tricks in Tricky. Since I’d never played either for a considerable amount of time before making the video, I was shocked at how different they were between games. Tricky really makes you work for the tricks and boost, but the flow of 3 feels incredibly good. IMO, 3 was much easier and more accessible to new players.
@mastercylinder62913 жыл бұрын
I was the opposite - for years I only knew Tricky, and what I'd heard of 3 even made it sound a little standard and boring (just one mountain?). Then I played it and was blown away at the constant innovation, how smooth it was to play, how areas flowed into one another, how fresh and alive it all felt. Instantly became my new favourite. I can accept the criticism that it's a little too easily gratifying though, and I still appreciate the weightiness and friction of Tricky.

I grew up with SSX, SSX 3 and On Tour. I only ever played Tricky a little bit at a friend's house, but most of the time I was more than happy just watching him play the game. Having now played Tricky a bit with an emulator, I prefer SSX 3 and On Tour over SSX and Tricky. SSX and Tricky are too punishing and too unpolished. I can never really sit down, relax and play those games the same way I can with 3 and On Tour. I'm a slope style kind of guy. I love taking every opportunity I can to jump and perform tricks and 3 and On Tour let me do that. I also love open world settings and 3 and On Tour are my ideal visions of "open world racing". Going down all three peaks in 3 or the longest tracks in On Tour while listening to the awesome soundtracks is the best. I didn't try Blur when it came out in 2007 but I did recently check out the SSX game they releases for the PS3 in 2012 and while it wasn't as bad as people had led me to believe, it's more miss than hit. They tried to combine SSX 3 with On Tour while also doing something new, but they just didn't nail it. The guy behind SSX 3 said in a comment on a video about the game back in ~2019-2020 that he was working with some people who worked with him on SSX 3 on a new game that will be out in a couple of years (2022-2023 maybe?). He said that it won't be SSX, but that it'd be in the same vein. Looking forward to that!

I adored Tricky, but in my opinion, 3 was an enormous step up in every way. The interlinked mountain peaks... DJ Atomika's commentary on the riders, the mountaintop community, and anything else in between... the challenges and collectibles, the clothing and skins you could unlock (and don't have to pay for). I remember I 100%'d the game the Viggo, then went and maxed out all the other riders as well just because the game was so fun. Not to mention the soundtrack... I discovered so many great artists that I still to this day listen to. It also resonated with me on a very deep level as I grew up on a mountain with a small to mid-tier ski resort and my friends and I would always laugh and joke about "what if it were possible to do insane tricks where you take off your snowboard?" while we were bored riding up the ski lifts... and then along comes a game where you can do just that. Truly one of the most engrossing and fun single players experiences I've ever had.

SSX Tricky had soooo much more character and much better level design. But the feel of SSX 3 was more fluid and the landings weren't as strict. Some tricks on SSX Tricky had to have a solid second of completing the animation to be able to land without falling. My favorite is SSX Tricky. I was obsessed with these games as a kid. I got back into both SSX Tricky and SSX 3 a while ago. Beat them, got tired of them. I started with SSX Tricky though. I got insanely intuitive with the controls. I play kind of weird too. When I hold A to prepare for a jump, I have my thumb on the D-Pad to charge the spin and my index finger on the left analogue stick to turn my character into the jump while I'm charging. It looks weird and uncomfortable, but it's actually pretty natural. And it feels very good to land the crazy tricks.

just ran into this video because I watched Miles Jai do a stream of tricky for Christmas and I'm glad I did. Both of these are ones I grew up playing and both have a special place in my heart not just due to the fun of the sport but the music as well. Hell I was such a fan of the series after these two I even bought that game port to the PSP (which had great music and......nope that's it lol) If forced to choose between the two I can definitely say 3 fits more of my own personal taste. The art style of 3 worked well for me and the vast customizing potential of all characters did as well - every gold victory earning a new clothing piece in some way? yes please! - as did the structure of all one mountain and it all feeling cohesive for that reason. Not to mention that they kept progressing the backstories of the characters that returned from game to game and allowed them to keep aging, which is another plus for me. I do think Tricky beats it in stylization and personality tho. I'm not sure if they'll ever make yet another entry into the series but I do think if they can fuze the two strongpoints of each and give us a SS3 style mountain but with more course variety and more personality that they would have another winning entry to the series. Ideally with some characters being legacy/children of some of the older champs to really tie it all together still (so long as we ignore the games after these two I mean lol).

I feel like whichever one you prefer usually comes down to which one you have the most nostalgia for. I grew up on 3 and never even touched Tricky until very recently, so it was a bit of culture shock to finally take it all in. Tricky has a manic in-your-face energy that I’ve come to appreciate, but for me it’s still hard to beat the perfect balance 3 strikes. People talk about how 3 lacks personality compared to Tricky, but for me Tricky feels sometimes like it’s trying too hard to impress. 3 has this effortless chilled-out charm that never gets old, and that goes for the characters too. I’d much rather have the more 3-dimensional and grounded personalities over the snark-fueled energy from Tricky, but again that really comes down to which one you imprinted on first. I do wish they’d kept more of the off-the-wall course design, but it’s a worthy exchange for how naturally the courses from 3 ebb and flow. And you can’t beat absolute zen of the the all-peak race. It’s heaven. They’re different beasts for different tastes. Love ‘em both at the end of the day.

Most of us played games to do things we couldn't or wouldn't do in real life, and we all had a blast playing Tricky for months and months (as well as Super Monkey Ball - something that had absolutely zero basis in our real lives).

“These games were released only two years apart” blew my mind. I have fond memories of both and love both, I think I’d lean to SSX3 due to wanting to relax more now.

C’mon EA, make a new SSX. Combine the beat of SSX tricky and SSX3.

I have a friend who only played the 3 whereas I grew with SSX for the PS2 for a cheap buck almost 10 years ago, I had no memory card so every time I had to play from the ground and god, Matt was the best character, SSX tricky feels like an expansion of the 1st and it's understeandable the path that took SSX 3 because otherwise it would feel like a revisited SSX tricky, but it was sweet to see the way a snowboard track could be reinvented.

Honestly, I preferred SSX On Tour > SSX 3 because On Tour felt the closest thing to Tricky when I was younger. So definitely Tricky in my opinion.

SSX 3 is my favourite by far. Loved SSX Tricky but 3 just blew me away . Played to death on my GameCube back in the day and recently brought it again but this time on PS2 . Ok , graphically, the GC tops PS2 in every way but it's still a fantastic time . Amazing how you forget how to do the basics when back in the day you were unbeatable lol 👍

For the first time in adult life I'm playing 3 again. And I'm picking up on all the nuances of I always ignored. Like the challenges and using front and back leaning thing to chain together tricks and racking up a massive multiplier. Along with stuff I haven't gotten to yet like unlocking more moves and maxing out character stats. I never played tricky or other ssx games except 2012. But the level design in tricky would make it worth to play both.

Usually in these situations, I'm more of a fan of whatever came first. I often find it hard to look past what I loved so much about an inital game that it makes subsequent games feel lesser by comparison. SSX is not one of those franchises though. I played since the first game and always loved the next more than the last. They continued fine tuning physics, controls and character customisation with every iteration and it showed. Your point about SSX 3 "growing up" rings true as its fanbase at the time were also growing alongside it. I was 8 when SSX 3 released and never felt like the shift in tone was too drastic as each character still felt like themselves. They still had the same personalities I knew them for and, at the time, that was enough for me. Blue is a good man for caring for On Tour too. Unfortunately On Tour had kind of gone 2 steps forward and 1 back by mixing the open nature of 3 with the wacky tone of Tricky but its gameplay still felt as tight as ever and it certainly deserves praise. I only ask that we never speak of SSX Blur. It never happened. I don't know what you're talking about.

Replaying SSX 1 and Tricky, they're a lot more rage-inducing than I remember them being. I can't believe it took them until the third game to have the recover command since hit detection is so janky and you wipe out SO easily. And I don't know if these races have rubber-banding or not, but I don't remember having to be PERFECT!!!! just to place.

I missed out on tricky, I got a launch ps2 for Christmas when I was 12 and picked up the original ssx early. Later on I think I figured tricky was the same game but re released for other consoles (now i know better). When ssx3 came out I played it a lot but nowadays, thinking back it’s the crazy and wacky level designs in ssx and tricky that I miss. All the later games toned it down a lot and it’s a real pity.

0:57 into it and I’m already basically told the majority of people miss 3 and not tricky 😭😭😭 I literally play tricky once a year because current games just aren’t cutting it. I still have a 360 to play ssx 2012 if the servers were still up (or if my Xbox wasn’t broken) I’d still be ranking 1-2 on showoffs. I don’t know how this video popped into my feed but if we could get a ssx in 2026 or something that’d be a ok

Like maybe a lot of game franchises at odds with themselves these days a combination of the 2 games would probably make a defacto, best game in the series. Bring back the flavor, spectacle, map design and arcade style brevity of Tricky but merge it with the increased content, world interconnectivity, and further refined controls of SSX3. Imagine instead of 1 homogenous mountain, a better modern SSX would have multiple "mountains" like SSX2012 but with actually strong themes, locales, and set pieces to set them apart like, if not better, than the maps in Tricky do. Imagine on top of actually having local multiplayer once again, "story mode" would be your classic world circuit style progression through each "mountain" where you still work your way through preliminaries. However, rather than race through a course 3 times, each prelim is a different section of the given location with a similar length to a Tricky style course culminating in the final race being a much longer complete course with all previous sections seamlessly strung together with the last and final section. Winning that final race would of course unlock things like new racers, and customizables etc. but also open the entire mountain for free riding and thus provide collectibles/challenges/Easter eggs that would act as resources to improve your characters IF you happen to have trouble with the next mountain. Having said that, I do prefer Tricky's way of making characters naturally excel at different things unless you go out of your way to steer their stats towards your own preference, because along with potential rewards for maxing out a character, making it efficient to use different characters for different challenges makes it more likely for players to try a wide variety of them and therefore enjoy more of them. The relationships between the racers that were started in tricky could be turned up to 11, and make for interesting, optional side content with actual stories and more varied interactions/banter. I'm not against having even more alternate routes ala SSX3 on, but I do prefer Tricky leaning intimate and linear routes with well defined obstacles, throughways, and points of efficiency. the alternative is not too bad in SSX 3 but gets especially bad in SSX2012 where the courses are extremely wide and on comparatively steep inclines and navigating them efficiently essentially means doing nothing but falling down the mountain, jumping over any and all obstacles. Tricky on the other hand is much more likely to have you actually boarding through snow or ice, if not on a rail, while navigating obstacles with all kinds of twists and turns, and I feel is much more well balanced between jumps, tricks and pure racing. to my understanding, SSX2012 also breaks what I consider the golden rule and makes it so you can not only do tricks on a loop removing any need to time and sequence your tricks well, but also allows you to land in any orientation at any point of the trick without wiping out your character, and by removing those well defined risks, the tricks while smoother, feel less rewarding to pull off IMO.

To me, comparing 3 to Tricky is like comparing Tony Hawk's 3 to 1. It's just meatier and more refined, gameplay-wise. Between the handplants, rail ubers, monster tricks, and most of all the board press which allows for mountain-long combo chains, there's just no contest in my eyes.

That's fair. I more compare Tricky and 3 to THPS3 to 4. Both came out back to back, and both took their respective series very different directions. But I do think that the style is different enough that people will have a preference for the interconnected mountains or the individual race tracks.
