Can You Kill All Skate 3 Challenges On HARDCORE? 

This is not what the fuck skate 3 is for this fucking monstrosity is not fucking skateboarding this is the reason playing on line is fucking terrible for the love of God it's just some fucking flip trick to late dark flip and it looks fuck atrocious it make me mad that the point system encourages this because whenever I think of something real it's not really worth shit bottom line trick-lining is fucking wack go actually learn about real skating and fucking do that and remember kids that skate 3 was made to be a skateboard simulator simulating real life and trick-lining isn't fucking real and stop being on RU-vid watching skate 3 videos and fucking go skate don't even read this go skate!

I played the entire game in hardcore mode, but there's a decade gap between me completing the game and getting the achievement "mass murderer" for killing 80+ challenges, from 2012-2022

I beat skate 3 on hardcore mode when I replayed it a few months ago. My thoughts? -Grinds of Destiny was Hell. -Jumping over that planet at the observatory was Hell. -I learned backwards man glitch specifically to not go insane killing challenges. -There's no achievement or reward to show for doing this challenge so I got nothing to show for my effort. Was it worth it? Not in the slightest... but yes.

Why dont you just do a nollie? 🤣👌

i recorded myself doing this back in august of 2021 to make a video of it. I lost the external hard drive it was on for a while and gave up on the idea for it as I did not want to endure that ever again let alone play skate 3 for at least a month or two. I recently found the external hard drive the 261 GB of footage it was on and was thinking of starting to edit it again, and then I see this video. When I was researching this topic back when I first recorded it I couldn't find any other videos on it but major props to you for doing this because It was extremely difficult. Jumping over that Pluto thing is easily the worst challenge in the game, and I was even questioning whether or not it was even possible while doing it. I could only find one video of someone claiming to have done it on hardcore but they did not show the difficulty anywhere in the video if I am correct. The only thing different from my footage that I can think of from yours would be that I did it in basically one sitting and timed the entire thing. It took me 29 hours in total [specific final time of 29:06:11] . As much as I would want to edit it all together I'm not sure if I will anymore since you did a great job with this and my idea for the video was going to be to say that I was the first documented person to do this. I might still edit it together in the next few weeks here now that the footage is back in my possession but otherwise, I'm not entirely sure. Enjoyed the video though, and you should totally do more of these challenge type of videos.

Very cool video! I think you should try beating the game without ollies next!

The difficulty arguments In multiplayer were hilarious “you aren’t good, play on hardcore and do the same trickline I do in easy mode”

I remember seeing some promo video from 2010 and one of the devs said that their challenge was to kill everything in hardcore

Great video man just found your channel and I love the editing and writing, good stuff!

Man you’re bringing me back to the good old days when I discovered RU-vid when skate 2-3 dropped. Love these vibes.

I remember trying the game over on hardcore after playing Skater XL a bit and struggled with the grind tutorial too for a little haha. It’s a lot more challenging lining yourself up with the rail but I love the fact it doesn’t automatically grind so you can manual where you want to

This video genuinely made me laugh, love your comedic personality, awesome video and i cant even play on hardcore for my life lmao

I remember watching Vanoss' Skare 3 videos and that made me enthusiastic enough to buy a skateboard, that skateboard is now 6 years old and is just sitting in my grandparents shed rotting away. Couldn't skate for shit but it was fun whilst i had it.

First video of yours, this was hilarious.. so awesome I subbed

I like this video style a lot more, it seems more raw and genuine to me

mirrors edge music made me subscribe

this is unironically high effort and good. the algorithm better bless this video

Love the casual toss in of the song from the game PAIN while doing hall of meat lol. Loved that game, played it all the time and I feel like nobody has ever heard of it. Great song👍

This is of incredible production quality for someone with 50k subs… amazing job!

ive been on this challenge on and off for years and i gotta say it sure is a fun way to spend your day

SYPHRUS GOING CRAZY RN

Dang one of the challenges burned in my memory is this planetary thingie. Used to play the game in hardcore all the time, only tried easy when that youtuber with the fat avatar revealed his secret. The part where you need to do a no foot hand plant have no RNG. Usually the trick fails because there isn't enough time for the character to stabilize before it hits the gap, or should I say it stabilizes IN the gap, so it actually counts as you hitting the top of a ledge instead when you fall. When you are on top and start to go down you have to manually pull the character to the front a little instead of doing the usuall "leave it be untill it hit the ground strategy". Also, you need to get enough speed, for some reason going in slow makes the character not stabilize. Do it and you will hit it all the time in hardcore. Also, to get enough air to gap the spoke you have to learn to pump at the right time and hit the ledge on a good angle. You have to adjust the angle every time you've got air to land parallel to the wall in the exact start of the curve and pump on the exact start of the next curve. There is a specific flow to it. You can get pretty high when you get into the flow. The entire challenge is a test of your joystick manual skills in hardcore.

im still amazed how syphrus, a god at skate 3, doesnt know what fakie is

As soon as I read the title I had instant flashbacks to Sign of the Grinds. Was not surprised to see it on the list of things you struggled with. It just does not feel like that challenge was tested in hardcore.

This vid deserves more (popped up on my recommended)

To make sure you hand plant on a higher surface you can hold up on the left stick and it will magnetize you to the higher place you can hand plant on. Works at the observatory and the backyard pool w/ the roof

Awesome video+you used mirror's edge music for the background, i love it

Very nice touch with the Pain theme music during the hall of meat section, makes me wanna get my hands on a PS3 again

Glad i caught your vid in the recommended !

ur so underrated WTFF this editing is amazing

10:37 man love that music, it reminds me so much of playing pain.

THIS 14:50 is what stopped me from 100% in hardcore. Really thought it was impossible in hardcore, which i guess it is without the speed glitch. I hope skate 4 doesn't have impossible challenges, I like to do them realistically. But nice job.

I did this one time out of boredom, it took me a little while but it was so much fun and quite gratifying to do them all

Syphrus: “Is this vid gonna get recommended” RU-vid: Yes.

The fact you beat grinds of destiny that effortlessly at 16:25 makes me very sad

4:43 Hidden Masters theme (didn't follow the license sadly, "You may use the song as long as you link this video in the description. You can always tweet at us if you have any questions.") I used to watch 'em during CoD Black Ops.

thank you youtube algo! a new channel to follow. 10/10

im surprised that u have 55k subs your videos are fun to watch men, good work

Love you Syphrus!

I can’t unsee the guitar 😍 It’s okay that you can’t grind on skate 3, as long as you’re better at grinding elsewhere 😘

Hardcore is so much better, pretty much the true Skate experience. All of the ott stuff is an understandable concession to appeal to a broader audience, and because sequels tend to inevitably expand in scope. But at the heart of it Skate was intended to be a simulation and to let someone skate way more lowkey lines with style and good execution, wringing more out of less space. Hardcore isn't just harder, it's more controlled. You can be 100x more steez with everything you do because there's variance and finetuning involved. Everyone loves doing insane shit on the mega ramp but people really shouldn't neglect the actually fantastic improvement to street skating and general tweakability hardcore provides. It's closer to a Session-lite than the more arcadey moments you get on Normal/Easy.

This was nostalgic seeing the challenges but if the nostalgia was put through a fever dream

great video ive been skating for years and playing skate since the first one came out and i will say that there is a lot of subtle techniques you can use in the game that are almost instinctual to people who skate. Ive personally noticed on hardcore that the entry angle while grinding to be surprisingly realistic, skating is hard and takes hours to be competent let alone master and a lot of the knowledge learned directly applies to the game. I personally love switching back and forth from easy to have an arcade experience doing game braking stunts to hardcore to try to get a line clean and realistic. If you ever plan on playing hardcore again and something is difficult look at how irl skaters do it, the angle, timing, speed. And when your in the air try pushing the joystick down at the last second and holding it when you grind (like a foot slamming down on the rail to hold you in place)

I did this like 10 years ago. Pretty cool to watch someone else do it.

10:18 i might be wrong but if you push the left stick in the direction your trying to go you can avoid hitting the death gap

18:00 "I have a lot of things to say all the time I just don't say them till the opportunity presents itself" a real man once said.

For the wall where you gymnast plant, you have to do the plant in regular. Im trying the same thing as you and I figured it out.

Consistent set ups for solar system are actually not too bad, airing the spoke fast is hard so that's why we don't kill it in the speedrun, but for the handplant you kind of just have to come at it diagonally and hit the corner of where the gap part of the quarter pipe is

I got this achievement a couple years ago on my 360. "Mass murderer" 😎

14:56 if i remember correctly you can grind from the high ledge to the low ledge and it counts as a grind-gap-grind and it’s way easier

Alright I love the editing

fire video ong

Anyone else hear the “PAIN” theme song during the hall of meat section? That game used to be so fun back in the old gen days

Omg the Pain theme song during HoM 🤣

Im so hyped for SKATE 4!!!

Thank you for this video

This video deserves so many more views lol

You have to make sure to time jumps almost perfectly to get grinds in hardcore 🙃

I’ve always played on hardcore and there are two missions that are impossible. Before watching the video, im going to guess that it’s almost impossible to complete the maloof NY tranny park OTL and there’s another OTL challenge in the rippon towers I think that’s definitely impossible. There’s one challenge in the rippon OTL that makes you grind three of the longest planters in the game in a sequence and I had to switch to normal because my skater wouldn’t hold any momentum. There’s plenty of other examples of challenges that are very difficult on hardcore mode but definitely possible after a bit of trying.

Do the handplant in the observatory pool backside. Frontside handplants are pretty much impossible in real life so it makes sense

seems like your vid hit some algorithm as I've never watched anything from you and haven't watched any skate 3 at all

Bruh the height your getting on the pops especially on the bowl down in the industrial DAMMNNN mustve got some smooth transfers for that or you jump glitched to the top of the spire like dammnnn

I never played this game on any other mode. I saw the name of the video and was kinda puzzled I kinda get it now. Also "sign of the grinds " was hard back then.

Ok, now do it on Expert+ mastercore definitive ultra extratone speedcore extra hard deathwish heaven hell knock on wood OH MY LEG dehydrated kirby meets smith n wesson 500 bone-collecter kamikaze platinum death adventure moon edition with dlc woman collecters gold edition.

I tried this when skate 3 became backwards compatible. Was able to kill almost everything, some missions are impossible lol.

yo i did that like a month ago and i was like where is a video about this? so yea awesome video

big fan over here

nah nba street 2 music. you crazy lmao

Thank for doing this agonizing challenge Now I don't have to

Killing Sign of the grinds on hardcore had me stuck for longer than I care to admit

10:17 ik this video is like a year old but ima say it anyway, I found that you can actually hand plant on the concrete park next to the hole in the wall, and if your close enough to it, it counts

WHAT CONTEST?!?!

this is how i always played the game. And chose specific tricks to do. Wtp in rolling vaguely at somethng n flailing the stick randomly to win

This is too good

oh shit i was there when you dog pissed the light i didnt know it was for a challenge XD

0:54 “2 girls 1 skateboard”

Really drudged up memories by playing the Pain theme

this reminded me that the ENTIRE TIME THAT I HAVE PLAYED SKATE 3 was on hardcore instead of normal

The stupidest thing about hardcore mode is the loss of max speed, makes absolutely no sense, especially since even in easy mode it's too slow compared to what any skater could go. (At least on flat)

I remember a few years ago getting a big playstation group chat together for a bunch of us to all do a 6 player team freeskate and get the final trophy for platinum. We all got on the day we planned for and EA had shut the fucking servers down. To this day i have 99% trophy completion with 100% for all DLC's.

I don't understand how the "roof handplant" in the *Pool of Tricks* own the lot was not mentioned. That OTL nearly broke my meat computer 🧠

The one where you have to kickflip bluntslide the sign is the only one I could never finish

ky cameo wooooow wooohooo good video lovelove

Nice video, commenting for the he algorithm coz it slapped

Dayum, this is nice.

damn bro I expect you to upload way later than this

Shout out to the Hall of Meat part having the PS3 game PAIN's theme.

Legend

the low camera angle bothers me idk why i always change it to high

One thing i wish people covered was grinds in skate 3

This video was indeed, recomendad to me

The consistent way to gymnast plant is to hold it I believe

21:09 me when I'm with the boys at a sleepover.

That Idubbz intro brings me back

I’m subscribing because you had ssx 3 music in your video

I would be impressed if you did this on easy mode

yes, without watching the video as i have done it twice and it took me around a month the first time round and it was frustrating

YEARS ago i atempted this and got everything but the double loop de loop fakie

16:20 I’m cryinggggg 😂😂😂

My prediction is struggle with the After Dark bullshit challenge in the bowl. Let's see. Oh and the ribbon manual in the Art DLC. Edit: yeah some struggle with the bluntslide was exactly what happened to me. GGs
