In the 0.32.2 Patch Notes post I inquired about late flips and the CM @SidZapen kindly asked me to post the same feedback and questions here, so I will just copy and paste it (with some things added).


"Hello.
https://files.catbox.moe/dp5z94.webm - In this example, there's a late shuv-it off a kicker, it's impossible to do them again on flat like before. Note that there is a little animation glitch, as if I was doing a tweak, but I assure you I did the shuv input only once after doing an ollie.

Flip speed in general (you know, based on sensitivity, input, etc) has been really inconsistent for a while now, but it got really weird after the big S5 patch, late flips being bugged. By bugged I mean that the animation is almost always the slow, fat one, no matter how hard or fast you input it. Late kickflips or heelflips are the most consistent ones (but still inconsistent) based on a couple hours of testing, shuvs are the worst offenders by far. During season 2 through season 4, you could do them normally after an ollie on flat, over obstacles or after rails. You could even do the classic flip > late flip combo (like kf to late shuv), now you really cannot, at least not consistently.

I don't use any assists.

I tested this on three different systems (PC intel +4060, PC intel + 5070ti and PS5) and with different controllers, all callibrated (dualsense, modded dualsense with hall effect, gamesir t4 with hall effect, TMR 8bit-do ultimate) literally just to make SURE it's a bug and not me.

I kinda do not want to spam the main forums especially with the mess there, but I can post this exact same thing there if really, really needed."

Adding to this post:
Turning assists on changes nothing. Adding the Minimum Pop Height (50 or 100) assist also does not change the sensitivity or speed issues, but late kickflip and late heelflip (and nollie/fake variations) are doable since the game puts you on a minimum threshold that is really high, but shuvs and impossibles are never doable on flat, barely on kickers. The 'tweak bug' demonstrated in the video is also not consistent, sometimes it happens two-three times with a single input.
I also did the basic stuff, like cleaning cache, checking files and etc etc etc, and that does not change what happens. Also valid to inform that the three systems tested were on different accounts, so I think it's not an account-bound issue. On top of that, I also asked for other people to do it and no, it's not my input or 'skill issue', they were also having the same problems.

Hopefully someone will come by here and either affirm they are having the same problem or dorkpost about the game.

Thank you.
