Is SSX Tricky the GREATEST Snowboarding Game of All Time? 

Hearing the music was such a nostalgia trip for me. Eddie's diss to Luther is 98% why SSX Tricky is my favorite.

I'd say SSX3 is still my own personal favorite, but the over-the-top nature of Tricky in general makes it stand out much more. The tracks are just insane in Tricky I love em lmao

I remember doing "the worm" with Eddie jumping on the air streams in the Tokyo venue like it was yesterday. Great nostalgia trip.

I loved both SSX 3 and Tricky, but man, the soundtrack, tracks, and characters were so unique in tricky that it will always hold a spot on my top games. Great video as always Evan! Clearly your manager is very pleased with you 👍🏻

Always impressed me how Psymon is able to spin his snowboard around his neck without decapitating himself. Soo jealous of those overalls!

Still playing it to this day

i used to play this game religously. thank you for this video. so many awesome memories. love the channel

Very nice breakthrough of SSX Tricky, We really need back these kind of arcadey fun games :D

Damn this was my 2nd ever PS2 Game. I played this every single day and I still remember the day I got 100% overall. This is extremely nostalgic for me. Once again Evan, fantastic video.

i know this video is an older one of yours but i’m in love with your channel, sir.

It's interesting to see someone play Tricky after growing up with SSX3. I got Tricky with my PS2 and it's my favourite of all time. The sound, style, and level design in Tricky are legendary, and it's just endlessly entertaining. "I CAME-" made me bust out laughing

Back when the gaming industry had a soul. Such a shame whats happened to games since this era

The "I can't talk" breakdown was some real drama. I hope that root beer was cold and just off-camera.

Can't decide if I like Tricky or 3 better. Loved both the open world feel of 3 and the over the top courses and the personalities of Tricky.

1:44 I don’t know how many times I watched this part again

If Tricky came out today, it would essentially be SSX GOTY Edition. It’s basically the first game, but with tweaked stuff and more content.

This game was so cool, peak PS2 / Gamecube vibes. This was definitely in the golden years of developers just trying new things to see what works and what doesn't. Triple A games aren't like that anymore these days.

I recently finally bought it. I originally played SSX 3 and still have it since I was a kid. The races are great, but the improvements of SSX 3 is unmatched. I've barely played it though, so I need more time to give it a better chance.

Dude not see tricky bar all red just hurt and non stop tricks after full tricky bar. Uff! the Nostalgia

I played this with my uncle when I was little. Absolutely awesome memories, loved this game.

Nostalgia intensifies. I remember doing a trick once that was so epic, it just showed up as ‘???’. FYI: Nice overalls.

Well this was a nostalgia trip and a half. I only ever played SSX 1 when I was 9 or 10 or something (honestly didn't know there were sequels.) The reprised tracks look pretty much the same in Tricky as they did in the first one. P.S. Phenomenal overalls.

I’d say gameplay is way superior in SSX3, but the concepts and music and overall vibe in Tricky is way cooler with its outrageous and almost sci fi feel.

It's not just the soundtrack... it was the audio engineering of the fade outs based on jump height and the length of the song based on the track you were running. It was an odd way of DJing the music based on how your run was going...

This was my 1st ever ps2 game I got. I was 10 year old, core memories unlocked! Mac was my favourite, the silent, cool dude. Anyway, you should review SSX On Tour man!

As much as I love the third for its total package being so excellent across the...um...range of factors, (I'm a recovering dad joke addict. I couldn't go for the obvious) Tricky (and the beta version of Tricky that was the PS2 launch title) had one flavorful feature absent from all that followed it. With apologies to DJ Atomika, it just isn't SSX without Rahzel demanding that I "call mah Mama in the room and show her how good I am!"

This is probably my most played game on gamecube behind melee and Deadly Alliance, and my first ssx game. I absolutely loved it. The replay value was NUTS through upgrading and unlocking everything. Also learning the shortcuts for every map.

ssx3 was the first game we had when we got a gamecube, but we didnt have a memory card for a while. i remember finally beating one but then having to turn it off. i still have that copy.

EA needs to make an SSX collection

Golding all the Showoff levels almost made me rip my hair out as a kid 😂 It was so frustrating but satisfying when I finally did gold all the courses.

Coming from someone who got all the Onyx Showoff medals on RetroAchievements for Tricky it's literally just practice, and knowing how many tricks you can fit into a jump. Playing Mac helps a lot too as he has the highest Jump stat, and great Trick stat. He also just has great Ubers. With a solid mix of high scoring ones, and easier to land ones you can get some really good scores with him. An anecdote I have is grinding for Gold on Mesablanca, and now I can do it by the end of the first third of the map. The hardest Showoff is easily Aloha Ice Jam though, you have barely any room for big tricks. (The Onyx for AIJ is 400k points, and it took me a solid 7-10 hrs to do)

Ssx on tour for psp that best ssx game of all time

I've only played it briefly once or twice in McDonald's as a kid, to later owning SSX 3 on GameCube like 1-2 years later as a teen, so I don't know which is better. Heck, I might buy it one day to see for myself. I'm 29 today and am still hoping the SSX trilogy gets remastered one day, or at least SSX 3. Or at the very least ported to the PS5, since it's backwards compatible for Xbox.

Hey Evan, that's such a cool video and a trip down memory lane, a friend and I would compete against each other day-in day-out on SSX Tricky, man to have a fat PS2 again! Throw a multi-tap in there and you have a party! My go-to rider was Psymon with the prisoner outfit! Again such an amazing video, keep it up

I've only really played ssx 3 for most of my time so seeing ssx tricky with many cutscenes of character interactions, I feel robbed

TimeSplitters 2 Chicago Refrence hhaha nice :D 6:46

Me and the wife played this A LOT, love this game so much wish someone would remake it.

dude stop rizzing up my gf with your great jokes jokes aside, this video was the bomb man. Had to rewind like 4 times for jokes after we couldn't stop cracking up. Love your editing as well, I found it was focused on comedic timing and never felt over-edited. GG man, love the vibes. earned a sub from me man

I am just wracked with nostalgia.

Your videos are amazing, just finding them now. You are gonna blow up!

NO WAY, At 6:06 It plays the Goo Lagoon theme song from SpongeBob: battle for bikini bottom. THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME!!!

Dude, you should do Downhill Domination. That game is fire, and you might like it

Best cosplay I've ever seen, 12/10 overalls.

SSX on tour next!!

ssx tricky walked so ssx 3 could run

Overalls are cool :D. Ratchet and Clank series next ? :D

This was the first ever video game and the ONLY video game I've ever played. I think I was 40 something yrs old, working in a group home and one of my clients loved playing it but needed a partner. In a span of a year, I got so good I was winning most of the races. I've never played another video game since but I occasionally miss being Brody and kicking ass on the snow. Did they ever come up with more or was Tricky the last one.?

Ssx Tricky is a classic

genuinely hilarious video, well done bro lol

First we ever had was CoolBoarders. Then we had SSX TRICKY. Such gems.

"According to 2012's SSX, the acronym in Team SSX means Snowboarding, Surfing, and Motocross" how the heck does X mean motocross wikipedia?

You're my favourite new guy on this silly planet. Love your vibe 🍻

your humor is just....~Chefs Kiss~

i just found your youtube but i super enjoy all the content :3

"Not enough snow, 5/10" - IGN

The amount of TimeSplitters references in these are just perect.

This video showed up on my feed and I love it! subscribed and I'll watch some more now :D

5:09 - 5:14 LMAO! 😅 The whole video is hilarious, actually. 👍

Hey dude. I like the cut of your jib. reminds me a bit of chris james.

The SSX series is S tier. The soundtracks of all the games in the series was amazing.

great video!

I absolutely love this game! ❤️💯🔥 Definitely one of my all-time favorite games (if not my absolute favorite)! I think this is the game I played the most. It's definitely the best snowboarding game ever (IMO)!

good game, but there's no way it beats SSX3. Actually I prefer the original over this as well, I thought the original had better designed courses, but lacks the beloved uber tricks. Another great video, your sense of humor is cheese galore dude I love it

I was always Eddie

I remember this being one of the first game i played on my ps2 as a kid. This and Stewart little the videogame and killzone😂😂😂

Marisol: "Have you been working out? Your butt looks much bigger this year." Elise: "Sorry I'm busy now. Can I ignore you some other time?" 😆😆

Literally the only reason people think SSX3 is the better game is because oPeNwOrLd GaMe! Ugh. Tricky obviously had the better soundtrack (especially since EA tried to synergize their "DJ Atomica" personality into SSX3), the better tracks (that weren't restrained due to having to share the same mountain), and the better overall style. "Less is more" si the appropriate term for Tricky vs 3.

They better remaster that

The simile master over here

ssx tricky with ssx 3 controls/physics would be perfection.

And your overalls are dope 😂 well played Evan.

Can my man get more recognition he deserves it

yes. Absolutely, yes!

0:04 What Does He Mean By Where No Man Has Gone Before!?

Coolboarders is where it all began....

Yes it is !!

Would you consider no one lives forever or its sequel?

I think you overalls are cool :)

he came and immediately left- just like me

I still play it

Cool overalls

SSX3 was when it peaked.

You should play it on the gamecube, the graphics are better :)

You didn't do the worm

SSX3:Tricky Batman:Spider-Man Quantitative:Qualitative Best:Greatest

Yes

I always go as Eddie. He's my man. Funky-A$$ fella with lot of style and fun to play and master the Uber moves and do lot of combos with them. My favorite uber tricks: - The Worm (both are) - Hand in Hand (freestyle) - Coffin Roll (Alpine) and - Near Miss (BX) Aaaand... 6:40 Hey Luther? You're so fat that the back of your neck looks like a bag of Hot Dogs! 😂❤

Next gta san andreas

I beat this game in five minutes

The Evan Christmas special

"what do you say when you see a hole in front of you?".. icy hole" my fuckin boy back at it again with another banger, making my day not the absolute garbage flume shit parade that it always is. i salute you, brother o7 i love your overalls and tell your manager i said hi and would like to set up a meeting

I preferred tricky's aesthetic but ssx 3 was far more polished and less inclined to punish you for going too fast/getting too much air. There were so many poorly placed obstacles in Tricky imo

I'd say no, SSX Tricky is not the greatest snowboarding game of all time, I'd say it's the second best, right behind SSX3

Yes, one of the best games, period.

Can this game be played on ps5 console?

Tricky has better characters and crazier tracks. 3 has better gameplay, challenges and a more open progression so that you do not have to get that dreaded gold medal at Alaska to max out a character.

cool boarders 2 is the best snowboarding game.

Yes.

you funny asf lmao

So gooood
