Working on RAD mode and wow is it satisfying to hit all the perfect landings
Current RAD progress: Urban 10/10, Junkyard 8/10 Neon City 2/10
Have you beaten Junkyard Pro level 3 in rad mode? Getting on that crane thing at 170m seems impossible. Haven't landed it once and i've tried hundreds of times.
I think the Technical Master trophy is broken ... did everything in the tricktionary (even in rad mode to ensure that it's not about perfect landings aswell) but I just can't get it, my guess is that it is because Salad Grind has two different input possibilities (Left+R AND Up+L) but only one of them is in the tricktionary.
Maybe they accidently forgot to set a different move to one of those inputs =(
Already wrote them on twitter about it.

Hello ps plus discount. Downloading this when I get home. Looks good.
This one is REALLY tricky ... you can't get the crane, I slowed down before the crane part and landed under the crane and jumped from there to the next rail.

I use L for tricks in normal gameplay. But there's probably an equivalent for every L trick on R so I wouldn't imagine you're missing much. I'm weird in that I use L for my tricks but R for my grinds.

And a Spotify playlist for those who'd prefer that although it is missing a couple of songs that aren't on there.

How'd you slow down? Every time I land perfectly in the crane area I don't have enough time to jump to the next rail and I end up crashing. :/ This is the only Rad level I have left and it's beating my ass.
EDIT: Got it! What I did was instead of grinding in the beginning, I jumped twice instead to make sure I was slow enough when I reached the crane that I would grind on it and it worked! Rad mode completed! What a ride. *rimshot*
So many crashes, even with wifi off. Still love the game though.
The one thing I'd really like is a training mode where you can see your analog stick inputs, I'm still having trouble remembering which input is which trick without checking the tricktionary.
Also, dat soundtrack, holy damn.

I really hope they put out a patch for this game soon. It is hard enough in the later levels where I crash a lot. I don't need the game crashing too!
Take the first rail in the level and grind it out till the end, onto the truck and from there to the rail that leads down.
Don't take any grind after that, the next grind is the one you have to take because of the hazardous ground grind this one out again to lose a bit of speed, on the one leading down from there only grind as short as possible and land.
Now you are on the part where it's only the crate left before the crane.
Don't grind the crate, just jump down and land and now try to jump over the trash at the end as soon as possible to get a bit of time under the crane to prepare your jump to the next rail.
That's how I did it but sadly I can't describe it any better. =/

Thanks for sharing! That's what I was looking for!

FUCK! I was soooo close to going to number 1 on the daily grind. Messed up one of my tricks coming off a grind so I had to settle for number 2. I got a high enough score several times in my practice runs. Still, number 2 aint bad! Obviously I'll go lower throughout the day but nevertheless not bad.
I just got it.Thanks for the help either way.
Nice you have all rad level now or did you mean Junkyard only?

All of it. I actually started with Neon City since it's very grind heavy which was much easier for me to do.

Fantastic game, except for some weird shit I don't understand, and the lack of a practice mode.
What the fuck is up with the green stalls? Do you have to land a perfect to grind their roof railing, or something like that? Because unlike other grinds in the game, I'll pass straight through 50% of the time.
There was probably a pop-up I mistakenly mashed through.

I know, but I'm confused as to why I can only sometimes grind on the roof.
Game has yet to crash on me again since I restarted my Vita.
The ONLY time I have issues grinding them is if I just don't have the height and the directional press to grind is just too close. In later levels there are places where there are three tiers of grind-able objects, probably more later on too. If you are sure that you are holding a direction for a grind well in advance of coming down on the awning then it could be another strange bug?

I suck at this. Controls seem weird at first, but after spending a while playing it already feels like they're quite intuitive. I will play more, and in time hopefully suck less. That is all.

This game is god tier. So addictive. One of the best score attack games on Vita if not the best. The crashes are getting on my tits though. When is the patch due? Also did the devs say if they were going to be patching in proper leaderboards at some point?

Man i enjoyed Bug! when it came out.
Can't wait to get down on this - just struggling to decide whether to just get on it now or wait for a PS plus freebie, which on vita is basically a given.
you're not alone. I suck. V_V

Did Sony bankroll this? I wonder why it's a Vita exclusive...

How is it? Thinking about taking the plunge tonight.
Oh yes! Totally radical
Junkyard pro-5 was by far the hardest for me because I tried something that only works like 1 in 1000 times after I found out that I was doing it the wrong way it became sooooo much easier!
And once again, buy this game it's totally worth it.
Nice work. Not sure I'll ever accomplish that. Some of the level challenges make me want to throw my Vita through the wall haha. Sooo frustrating but I just keep playing anyway.
The most common problem with tricks out of grinds is the timing, if you hit the end of a rail you will automatically do an ollie.
You really need to plan out for what input you have the time on any given platform, e.g. really short platforms are not the place to try to squeeze in an impossible or 360 Hardflip.
For short platforms go with easy ones live shove-its or even laserflip etc.
The problem is often that when you miss one rail and auto-ollie from it the next following ones are even harder to get right.
Edit: Does anybody know all the locations for the golden boards?

Yeah those green stalls are weird. I noticed that if I do a noseslide or a tailslide grind, I get it almost every time, but if I try anything else I usually miss it.Fantastic game, except for some weird shit I don't understand, and the lack of a practice mode.

I did for a few runs, do the variable heelflip as the initial jump by using <-- on analog and releasing it when it is facing down.

Fuck yeah! I just got #1 on the daily grind (for now).

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I know it'll finally click, but the fucking controls for landing are so goddamned counter-intuitive.
I want to push down to land, not X.
It just feels weird to press X to land.
Just have to go from the grind directly into the corresponding trick. If you are holding down to grind to a quarter circle forward and when you release it will do the trick for you.
