The PS controller is second nature for me with THPS, so it just seems right to reignite the muscle memory (even if the DS4 can be used with the PC). 60 FPS makes it a no brainer. Can pick up the PC version on sale in the future for posterity.

You can change your manual, lip trick, and grind while performing the trick with double button combos, e.g., Square square / square circle / triangle circle / triangle triangle and so on. This excludes the ollie button obviously. (Note: Didn't realize was in loading screen, but hopefully this will help those who didn't catch it.) You can double tap square, triangle, and circle to get secondary moves. Ever look at your tricks menu and wonder what the second trick is after the forward slash? That's the move your character does when you double tap a button. For example, hitting up and circle does a Nosegrap. Hitting up and double tapping circle changes the trick to a Rocket Air. This applies to all grinds, flips, and grabs. (Note: Didn't realize was in loading screen, but hopefully this will help those who didn't catch it.) Having a full SPECIAL meter makes you faster and jump higher. The best example of this being needed is the roof gap in downtown. With full SPECIAL meter it becomes much easier to ollie roof to roof. (Note: I missed that they said this during the SPECIAL tutorial. I've seen a lot of people having problems with gaps and things though since they didn't know this, so hopefully it still helps someone.) You can go higher and further during a transfer with a late ollie. Most notably this is great for getting on the railing above the half pipe in the Skatepark. Making sure your special is full, holding forward going up a ramp and waiting until your transfer starts and jumping in air as opposed to at the top of a ramp gives you a considerable boost to height and distance. You can ollie higher with a no comply or boneless. Tapping up and ollie at the same time will cause your character to do a No Comply. Double tapping up then ollie will cause your character to do a boneless. The later with a slight increase in height over the former. Take away stat points. Can't get enough height or speed? You can take stat points away from anything else at any time, even preset stats, and use the stat points to boost other things. Also, maybe there is something that you are trying to do that may be too hard because your stats are too high (Perfect Balance gap at School). Take speed stats away, or anything else for that matter, and make things easier for yourself. (Note: Applies only to CAS, not PROs, though you can still take away stats from PROs for stats you already spent and reassign them elsewhere). R2 isn't just for transferring. Sometimes holding forward up a ramp is just too much when you are trying to get on top of something small and you end up overshooting it. Holding R2 instead will take you out of the ramp right at the lip and even your character out. Doing tricks in a switch stance gives you a 20% increase in score. If you have the stat maxed out, try staying in a switch stance for higher combos. You can turn on a dime. Miss something and trying to turn around but you keep hitting things with your wide turns? Double tapping down and hitting R1 will make your character instantly head the other direction. Credit /u/Coolscientist1 . You can ollie directly into a wall and ollie off of it, switching directions immediately. In the middle of a grind combo and the railing ends directly into a wall? You can keep the combo going and reverse directions by ollieing directly into the wall and hitting X again right when you are about to smash your face into it to wallplant off and turn yourself around.
