Maxing Out Skate 3's Limitations 

They used yards but called it meters

The ft vs meters difference looks outdated now obviously, but this is because of inflation Back when Skate 3 came out 100 meters was actually 300ft, but due to inflation 100meters in 2023 is roughly 328ft.

Syphrus: "Why is there a speedcap and height timer?!?!" Also Syphrus: "So the game breaks if these two things are disabled. Fall damage is non-existent and the camera glitches out."

This was a genuine fun watch, and I haven’t played Skate 3 in like 8 years - it was fun to learn so many minute details about the game

Realizing a generation grew up with Skate like i did with Tony Hawk is crazy

The world of skate 3, where skating is faster than using a plane.

as someone completely oblivious to both Skate 3 and skating in general, this terminology and jargon is like another language to me

the limit timers are definitely in place to just prevent people from getting stuck outside the map, I imagine they weren't all that concerned about the edge cases where people managed to find the few spots on the map where exceeding the limits is even possible the speed cap could also be to prevent glitches from appearing in areas before the game can manage to fully render them, you can see stuff struggling to pop in flying at light speed already

Syphilis never fails to pump me full of his content❤️

I think the conversion thing was done on purpose, approximating 1 meter as 3 feet so that mission objectives and achievemetns etc still look neat. The game's coding is probably "stay within 100 meters" and then converting to ft "stay within 300ft" looks a whole lot neater than "stay within 328ft".

Thank you for your service zaddy

You can do the cannonball speed glitch even faster depending on if you have collision between you and the board before you hit the ground. I like to think it's because the object in the way increases the distance and speed since it really wants to get back to your skater.. you can do it on some slopes but it's definitely different from flat ground. It also depends which way the board comes back to your skater left or right hand you want the board to be against what ur hitting. Since you can do the cannonball speed glitch on a slope with the right timing you can get some insane speed and air for gaps (i add a dont know emote)

3:05 makes sense because if you grab the board you already bend the legs, but if you dont, you can land and bend them on impact and absorb some of the energy

The limits are important to what makes skate different than tony hawk so I'm glad they were there in the first place. Shocked that easy mode doesn't disable these or nobody found dev cheats to term em off Edit: similar annoying ones are 3 fliptricks on any one rail/ledge. And no tattooed on both limbs

First time watching your content. Hope your other videos are like this. Very in-depth great pacing for the setups and punch lines. And the climax with the mods and the Superman theme. Chefs kiss

the fact that we're applying the scientific method to skate 3 in 2023 is insaneeee. good work as always syphrussy

It’s been years since I played this game on PS3 this brings back a lot of memories doing silly stuff and glitches. This also explains a few of the glitches I never understood how to recreate and some of the stupid resets I got.

I’ve never played skate3 or have been interested in skating but watched this whole video, it was super interesting!

Another great video! Keep it up man! Can’t wait for the next one!

Bro your editing style is hilarious, I'm subbed lol

3:18 Ngl you caught me off guard with that one💀😂👌

Where has this channel been all my life?! Subbed. ❤

I have never played this game before, but this video is really really entertaining, love it!

Huh, this video popped up on my front page and I had no idea this game was even relevant anymore. Glad to see that someone is making cool videos out of it still.

The Gran Turismo menu music went hard, good stuff

3:50 your character running off the screen like that instead of bailing killed me 😂

First time watching Syphrus and that was entertaining as hell

dude idk if you know this but the music for your videos goes absolutely insane

My nostrils are in agony, I had the complete opposite of common sense watching this video while sipping scalding hot ramen noodle broth. The backflip into straight down neck break had me dying

I've played skate 3 since it came out and even I had no idea what he was talking about half the time. Incredible video, 10/10

This right here is some Certified Classic Gaming Content

Every time I get a really fucking niche video on my recommended, I feel like a stranger walking into an old west saloon and stepping on the creaking floorboard

ive never played this game in my life, but holy cow I love your videos

damn a lot of effort went into this vid. good job!

never heard of your channel, never watched any of your videos, ive never played skate3 and have no intention whatsoever of playing skate3. yet for some reason I watched this whole video because it was so interesting. shit man keep it up

Suppose limiters exist to control the physics engine. Physics in 3D simulations have a tendency to reach close to infinite values for any force, this can cause games to crash constantly for no apparent reason. So caps are added to curb the calculations when things get out of hand. Eveything has caps, from video games, to 3D suits like Blender and Maya, even to scientific physics simutator/imaging softwares, which would be surprising since we expect the scientific tools to be capless... for science ^_^ So, in the future, if you ever decide to make a physics based game, the code is ok but it keeps crashing for no reason... it could be a small, pesky cube that has a picosecond-long, Everest-high spike in the value of traveling velocity when simply laying on the ground. Put a cap on everything and you are golden

Man, going from the star festival to the arab nokia to vsauce’s theme is crazy

My favorite video I've watched all week

Great video. Watched the whole thing

Instant subscriber. Well done sir

I may bust out the jtag or devkit to bring this "uncapped" mod to x360, holy shit. Bravo!

Man, I don't even play the game and I still found the video rather interesting. Good stuff.

i love seeing other sony vegas editors

Bro i lost it when you said "inward flip" and brought up the community guide lines LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fire video dude 🤘 think I recognize your name from sotw.

Dope video, subbed

Don’t worry about upload gaps we’ll always be here to watch.

Bro i had no idea holding up on easy maintains your speed, never even thought to push forward

This editing is fye😂

sisyphus is my favorite skater xl streamer

its weird aswell because in the UK we use both, mainly because imperial is what you used, and where supposed to switch to metric in the 70s but it just never happened

This healed something in me, thank you

i dont watch skate 3 vids, but now im a fan

Never played skate 3 or any like skateboard game, but this is just interesting to watch

lmao i found that rocket air glitch back in august and i have proof if you want it. but thanks for putting that in ur vid i thought it kinda died out after a week but i was wrong 😂 love ur vids bruh

Syphrus is my favorite skate 3 youtuber named Syphrus

Falling into that endless black void terrified me ngl 😅

hey Syphrus don't worry after 3 months time you are able to make an appeal, yeah I kind of got guideline strike banned because I uploaded an ifunny meme that was heavily dangerous. I have the ability to go into some weird course training to appeal the guideline strike in my yt studio

2:43 Threads of Fate baybeeeeee

2:45 you can also push forward on the right stick and it puts your legs up

Funny ass editing thank you!

That aggressive rocket air glitch looks spicy

hey syphrus what difficulty is the coolest to play on for skate 3 (in regards to tricks and style)

Hello! I became curious when you mentioned your playtime wouldn't exceed 148h:38m:08s on the in-game timer. I can't say for sure why this happens without knowing how the game was programmed. Also, this is only a theory, so please do not take this as fact. Your playtime equates to 524288 seconds. 524287 is the largest value that can be stored in a 19-bit binary number (1111111111111111111). The binary number increments up by one when a second passes. This is one second off from your actual playtime. The game likely counts all zeros as 1 second of playtime. This means that one second of playtime is equal to 0000000000000000000. Counting past 524287 in binary would cause an overflow. While the game runs on 64-bit systems (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3), this may be a limitation implemented by the developers. It may also be a limitation of the RenderWare engine. This issue also happens in Burnout Paradise, which uses the same engine as Skate 3. Just thought that was neat!

9:51 you spin me right round baby right round

the ratlober of skate 3

Great music taste my dude

that was pretty epic

My Phone's GPU sometimes flips the entire screen side down, and finally It did it with perfect timing, combining the inverted landscape view with "getting another perspective" commentary at 4:53

Nice editing

The Super Mario Galaxy music I love you

Really would love to see someone get his hands on the source code of Skate 3 and cleaning it up.

Can't wait to see you get to the hidden version of one of the maps using an extreme no limits speed glitch >:)

Let’s go he made a new one

Thats so funny i hope when skate 4 comes out or if it comes out, they keep all the jank that is kinda hard to find and just remove stupid limits like a speed and height cap

do i play skate 3? no did i watch this entire video instead of studying? yeah

I alr know syphrus has been playing skate 4 I can’t wait till he can actually make vids on it

Skate 3 video with Zelda background music hits different

Thx dada for the video

very cool video man

I used to play skate 3 almost religiously when i was younger. I played on easy mode, and i swear ive done a double backflip before. Maybe im just remembering wrong though

imagine if real skating had such terrifying sorceries to perform

You’re such a small RU-vidr but you have a fucking amazing thumbnail style. How? I just love it.

is the background song the evangelion theme from the mind trips?

yeah I can 100% tell you that RU-vid also didn't put this video in sub feeds until hours later

1:00 is the highlight of the video with the special guest star

Wtf is a kilometer meme had me dead 💀

you're a god bro

Oh I see what they're doing with the conversion - you gotta Skate 3 feet to go a metre!

once managed to hit 128 mph in default with backwards man glitch, unless its just me converting the KMH into MPH

He’s gonna start talking about parallel universes any second now

Yo this wuz so fuckingggg goooooood!

I remember trying to land a jump from the big cliff next to mega park into the tube for hours and giving up cause he'd always die D:

you think if noiburg and syphrus had a kid it would be Noiphrus

*jumps into the void and resets back up to the ground “Why is this here!” 😂

great video

to be fair the limits make sense if you think about the fact that without glitches you couldnt reach the max meaning the game thinks you are in a glitch so they reset you

Let's gooo! New vid!
