      None of those slow races you've been hearing about.

      You'll never find a race more racy than this

      JNine yeah, we would

    • @Crazykidthree33
      @Crazykidthree33 6 років тому

      I, too, think we would still use the term furries, but its meaning could differ greatly depending on how relations went between humans and those of beast-kin. Probably with religion and the definition of "people" or "person" being large deciders.

    Sonic Riders is actually a really solid racing game. The big problem is that it makes VERY little effort teaching you how to play it. Once you get the hang of things, though (and spend enough time to unlock things) then it's a lot of fun

    Jet: HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I think it's time for a little fun.
    Also, you have to resort to shortcuts to win by doing the hold A jump in the jungle.

    • @adamrhodes9533
      @adamrhodes9533 6 років тому

      Wait, IS THAT HOW YOU DO THAT SHORTCUT!? I ACTUALLY NOW KNOW THAT!

    • @ghosthuntermike2592
      @ghosthuntermike2592 6 років тому

      Adam Rhodes No problem, buddy, learned that the hard way.

    • @adamrhodes9533
      @adamrhodes9533 6 років тому

      I usually ended up pulling it off, anyways, but it's nice to know exactly what the trigger is.

    • @ghosthuntermike2592
      @ghosthuntermike2592 6 років тому

      Adam Rhodes got it.

    • @poots4725
      @poots4725 6 років тому +2

      The shortcuts are actually slightly complex, for instance, flipping backwards makes you fly up higher, while flipping forwards pushes you forward. For instance there's 2 shortcuts in metal city, one near the beginning where you have to rotate forward to reach, and another near the end which skips the rotate part by flipping backwards on the big ramp, there's several other shortcuts on other tracks that require the same thing. So it's not just charging and jumping at the last second. However Zero Gravity simplified this by removing the flip momentum entirely, for proper ramp timing only.

  • @819slayer
    @819slayer 6 років тому +2

    The in-engine cutscenes look kinda like they wanted to keep the Heroes feel, but just update the models. I honestly kinda dig it.

  • @weegeelord1337
    @weegeelord1337 6 років тому +6

    oh wow i played this game a lot! here’s two tips just to make things easier.
    you grind rails by being the speed class and hitting a (in mid air) to grind a rail, then a to jump off.
    and you can do high jumps off of ramps if you hold back on the control stick before jumping off them (only once you release a, not when you drive off them.)
    and i’m 12.

    It's honestly a really solid game. Very few bugs and problems, solid balance between the different character playstyles, and the different boards while fairly similar, are really fun to pick and choose from. Not to mention that the fuckin levels look dope as shit man

  • @alanvelasquez98
    @alanvelasquez98 6 років тому

    Right before you go off a ramp hold the A button and it will charge your jump and you can get major air! After you hold the A button if you want to go higher height wise hold down but if you want to go farther distance wise go up on the control stick. It's really simple

  • @Pichu-uz5kf
    @Pichu-uz5kf 6 років тому

    very true and also if you hold down the jump button down right before you go off a ramp then let it go when you youll go higher and do tricks faster

  • @Zachbane
    @Zachbane 6 років тому

    Now THIS is a game/series i can get on board with (pun not intended). I'm really surprised that they skipped the tutorial (even though it's FWOB) because this game has some crazy unique mechanics that a tutorial really helps with.

  • @Metazoa54321
    @Metazoa54321 6 років тому

    Fuckin loved this game back in '06
    Some cool tips if you continue playing:
    - if you charge your jump before going off a ramp, you get extra air. On the big scripted ramps, if the ramp is a flat slope up, charging your jump and starting with an upward trick will help you hit a shortcut. If it's a curved slope up, start with a downward trick.

    Don't forget that when you're riding someone else's turbulence mashing the A button will make you go faster.
    Also if I recall correctly the L button should be your tornado trap. Which is basically a wind based 'banana peel' that you but down to stop people from using your turbulence.

  • @Kramburger11
    @Kramburger11 6 років тому +1

    Sonic Riders is like the Kirby Air Ride of Sonic games. Mind you, it's nowhere near the level of good that Air Ride is, but it's way more fun than any other Sonic game of the 3D era.

    If you do front flip on a charged jump you can go further forward landing on the shortcuts higher up. A backflip goes higher for shortcuts directly above. almost every big jump has a shortcut of one of the two choices

  • @nathanmatlick5958
    @nathanmatlick5958 6 років тому

    TIPS:
    Dashing slows down opponents, makes them lose rings, and gets you energy. try and chain hits.
    get rings for more gauge and better damage attacks while dashing.
    try holding the button a little longer when jumping, and if there seems to be a second platform, hold the opposite of the arrows below you to make it. if that doesnt work, hold the way the arrows are going.

    • @nathanmatlick5958

  • @poots4725
    @poots4725 6 років тому

    The first sonic riders was my favourite due to it having higher skill requirements compared to Zero Gravity which simplified and removed one of my favourite mechanics from the original, that being midair momentum and manipulation based on the direction you flip, in exchange for only proper ramp timing, but I'm okay with that cause, the new mechanics were insane. Then nots even mention the 3rd one...
