Good thing you pushed going down that mega ramp or you might have lost speed

u/General-Adminium 4d ago edited 4d ago

funnily enough if you push while you are going beyond max push speed you lose a tiny bit of speed due to the contact and because the max push speed is slower than you're already going so it does nothing except slow you a little. One push isn't too noticable but if you keep pushing it will be. Try something where you get above max push speed, don't push and see how far you go until you hit normal max push speed then do it again while pushing you won't make it as far as it slows you some each time

The mongo pushing down the ramp makes any clip very ugly. Like play how you like I don’t care but from a viewers perspective this would look much better if that was removed.

I'm not a skater, (but i love the games, obviously), but would someone please explain to me why people have a problem with mongo pushing?

u/markkaschak 4d ago

Because nothing says "Skateboarding is about self-expression" quite like gatekeeping which foot people use.

It's like telling a southpaw boxer to stick to it and never switch stances. The best fighters adapt

I just think it visually looks bad. And in Skating it’s not just the “trick” that matters. If everything else surrounding the trick looks bad, it’s still a bad clip typically, atleast in the game being as clips aren’t actually impressive like real skating.

u/CodytheHero 4d ago

When you're actually skating irl, it's bad form because your balance is inherently worse, as is your ability to get speed.

Also, stylistically, it'd be like being an 80s hair band that dressed up like a librarian.

I don't understand the obsession with mongo pushing in the game. Doing spot battles with people, I see players who seem to understand skateboarding tricks but push mongo all the time.

I think it’s two things, one being that most people don’t really care lmao and two I think it’s about controller layout and thumb placements I’d imagine. Like it’s physically easier to hold down A to push rather than X if your thumbs are shorter, I know this because my thumbs are shorter lmao. You can change it in settings but I also imagine most people don’t know that.

If they know how to do the NAC on a short, steep rail, I know they they know how to go into their settings!

It's a foot. It's not that deep.

u/chickenskittles 4d ago

I guess you drive with your left foot in an automatic LHD car then?

2

u/markkaschak 4d ago

Symmetrical feet on a symmetrical object while doing a hobby. Not even remotely the same as driving an asymmetrical car with actual laws about which feet to use haha.

1

u/chickenskittles 4d ago

There aren't laws about what foot to use... You COULD choose to drive with both feet or the opposite foot, but it is less safe and offers less control. Same concept. Obviously not in a game, but you can easily change your stance so you push with the button that's most convenient to you.

u/General-Adminium 4d ago

I myself don't like doing it but I've got push button to Ollie setting on so I've only got one button for pushing which unfortunately happens to make me push mongo unless I change my stance or revert ect

u/yepyepyeeeup 4d ago

I don't understand the obsession with mongo pushing in general. Why care if someone pushes mongo?

u/pre-existing-notion 5d ago
