Tony Hawk Pro Skater (and other) Weekend May 1-3, 2015

We should pick a level for each of the first three games and have a leaderboard or something.

That sounds cool to me - i'm open to any suggestions...

I'm off to bed now and then work, but will be back on this thread in 16 hours - by all means if anyone has ideas on what games / stages / settings we can casually compete on - post it up and post your score and/or accomplishments.

My votes are for

THPS: Warehouse
THPS2: School II or The Hanger
THPS3: Airport

I remember getting the THPS demo disc at Pizza Hut back in the day and falling in love with the games. (I think I have 6 copies of THPS2, haha) A great arcade-y skateboarding game!

The Bullring is great for scoring in THPS 2. The last time I took the game out I was breaking 900k in a 2 minute run. I'll probably spend this weekend trying to max out the score on that level.

What version is everyone playing? The Playstation one is my go to. I can't get the hang of balancing in the other versions.

Don't worry I still got your back getting the GameCube tomorrow from my sisters so I can hop on to the park creator.

Do your boys know about the hardflip trick, do a variable kickflip 180 but instead of doing the full 180 revert to your normal stance and it becomes a hardflip they never programmed this move in the game but that's the way around it.

I'm in for THPS 1 & 2. I'll have my Playstation up and running anyway since I just learned about MST3K mode for Rebel Assault 2.

Are we going for perfect (all tapes and all gold medals)runs or points?

[mjmjr25]

We are trying to PERFECT / 100% THPS 1, 2, and 3.

We will be playing 1 and 2 on N64.

We will be playing 3 on GCN.

We will dabble with 4, Underground 1 and 2, and American Wasteland on GCN.

We will also dabble with all 4 Wii games.

Anything you want to compete in, be in a 2min run, be it completing a game, be it a hi-score trick - post it up and i'll create a table for it in the OP.

[mjmjr25]

We're busy unlocking everything so far - will post some high scores up tomorrow.

Some shots from tonight:

I'm going to try to pick up the Wii accessory today. I'm curious if any of the Wii games are hidden gems.

Not too much free time this weekend, but I popped in THPS this morning.

First run of Warehouse = 320,124, no specials used.

Best combo twelve tricks = bs 50 50 + pop shove it + pop shove it + bs 50 50 + Indy stiffy + pop shove it + nose grind + 720 stalefish

I'm only counting eight tricks, but that's what the game says.

And why not some THPS 2x?
