10 Unexpected Ways To Master Challenging Video Game Mechanics
4. Use Switch Stance To Maximise Combos - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2
It's absolutely vital that you learn to rack up skill combos while playing the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games, but it's possible for players to gloss over the fact that they can do themselves a simple favour to quickly score more points - use Switch Stance.
Even the most casual Tony Hawk's player will have realised that tricks depreciate in value the more they're repeated within a short window of time, but by swapping to Switch Stance - that is, the opposite stance - the game treats even repeat tricks as entirely different.
Switch Stance comes with the caveat that your stats are given a bit of a nerf - this being your non-dominant stance and all - but where point acquisition is the name of the game, it's a great way to combat the diminishing returns of sticking to a single stance.
