"Trails Fusion - you all can bow to me now"


  

          

I didn't even know this game was coming out but it has all of the same Trials-isms you'd expect with better looking maps. I expect the usual suspects to look up at my name at the top of the leaderboard and feel overwhelmed by the greatness.

(what system you got it on? I live to beat ghosts in Trials...)

I'm at about 105 medals right now, just polishing up the "HARD" difficulty tier, with a thing an extreme tier in front of me? There's one tier left. Got a Panda time in the Top 150 global leaderboard, but that was the evening of day one, so pretty good chance that's been bumped down. Got a couple other times into the triple digit global times, but the only other guy on my leaderboards right now is never even near my first run times.

and I have to say I LOVE not having platinum medals, having the challenges instead. Gives each track a lot more replayability than just having to chase a nearly impossible perfect run.

I hate those medals. The challenges are so much better...

yeah, I've seen your "Trials Ninja" videos on youtube. Hooray for those guys. For the rest of us, yeah, some of it is possible, some of it can be done repeatedly, but stringing together multiple perfect bounces and then capping it off with a sheer, vertical block at the top -- just dumb, not fun. Slightest loss of balance = crash. Mistimed acceleration = crash. Depending on the bounce = success or crash. It's just the worst. God have pity on those poor souls who actually find those bullshit tracks fun.

The disc version comes packed with the $20 season pass which is why it's $40.

It was on sale for $20 and included the season pass. I like it so far. I definitely need to get my skills up as I am struggling on the "Hard" tracks. I wish they gave you more details about each bike's specs. It's hard for me to tell which bike is the best option for which track.

it's like the Mercury or something? The one that has the sorta weird frame, is described as the "skill" bike, has the most spring and quickest handling. There's a *few* tracks where I post fast times without that bike, just because there's less risk of a scrub on the other bikes, but basically all high skill maneuvers need to be completed with the pro bike.

And there's tons of weird stuff you can do to shave time, by properly working your bounces and momentum or there's often sections of track that are only accessible via the high skill bike. But yeah, basically you need to get good at bunny-hopping and hill-climbing with the pro bike, figure out all the weird ways you can do crazy maneuvers without actually falling off. Once I unlock that bike, I'll go back and run earlier tracks with it just to see what I might have missed running it with the crappier one earlier.

but if you just sit down and play them over and over, you learn the sticking points and eventually you pull out a clean run. There's usually a tricky spot or two where in order to get through one section, you have to set it up in a section prior, like making sure you land on a certain down slope in order to have the speed to make a big jump after, or hitting a rhythm section just right so that you have the speed to clear all gaps. Occasionally it pays to come to a complete stop, totally reset your momentum, before clearing a gap or hurdle (on Extreme this is a much more useful skill). Eventually you just learn the rhythm -- gas here, lean here, sometimes a brake, make sure rear tire makes contact with this surface here, etc.

And yeah, once you're on Hard everything except for the Advanced bike is generally not good enough to clear the course.

And sometimes the Skill Challenges can be a great way to learn when you're new, in particular the hill climb ones, because those really force you to learn how to lean and gas in order to get past sticky parts, and as you do it over and over you can start to recognize the patterns.
