… But don’t be afraid to change your mind And remember, more complex flip tricks take longer to execute, so if you’re ever jumping to a rail that’s higher than you are, you’ll probably want to stick to kickflips and heelflips. Study the space between grinds and obstacles so you know when you want to stay on a rail until the end and when you want to launch off early. Figure out how many spins you can cram into each jump. Plan to dedicate your first couple runs to learning the level - and I don’t just mean where the grinds and jumps are.
Your first attempt at a stage is usually not going to be a good one. Two: some tricks take longer to pull off, and if you miss a grind because you’re still in the middle of a trick, it usually means your face is about to meet the ground. One: tricks yield less points the more you repeat them, so a more mixed-up repertoire will result in higher scores. This can end up betraying you, for two reasons. Once OlliOlli’s controls start to become second nature, muscle memory can take over and you’ll find yourself settling into a routine with your tricks. Pack as many spins, flips, and grinds into one combo as you can, and avoid the ground at all costs. The longest, most dangerous combo you can pull off will always be the most lucrative. Never play it safe, and take every risk the game presents you with. However, if you want to rock that #1 spot, you must embrace the greed. This is actually a good strategy for wrapping up goals that require you to collect items and make it to the end of the level. Sure, you can meander through a level sticking to basic tricks like kickflips and shove-its. Keep this in the front of your mind as you play the game - focus is essential.
A perfect grind will actually give you a small boost in speed, which you’ll need in a few later stages to clear otherwise impossible gaps. Timing is everythingįrom the moment you first boot up OlliOlli, you need to know that timing your landings and grinds properly is integral to not only getting chart-topping scores, but even finishing stages and completing goals. If I’ve missed anything, or if you’ve got your own tips, leave ’em in the comments! Oh, and good luck on that Daily Grind. This list is by no means comprehensive - these are just notes I’ve taken over the course of the last week. I’ve spent about a week with OlliOlli, during which I’ve picked up a few tricks for maximizing one’s scoring potential on any given stage. Newcomers might be put off by its simple, yet highly skill-based trick and landing system, but before long the urge to nail longer (And riskier!) combos will keep you glued to your Vita for hours on end.
