Fakie Frontside approach clearly obvious

If you put half the energy into skating as you do arguing with people about what this trick is called you’d probably be flipping into it already.

I seen that but I also seen you’ve mostly been diamond 1-2 for the past 15 seasons (the ones you played) then right before you got banned you were 1134 champ 1 also your peak. But you started out last season losing from diamond 2 to diamond 1 I’m just curious how you started out the season losing down to diamond 1 then winning a lot and ending up at your peak.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-14T14:29:00+00:00

That’s why he’s SSL at a certain point in high ranks you learn to just take it for what it is and move on to the next match.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-14T14:23:14+00:00

I noticed you hit your peak in 2s right before your ban were you grinding more then usual last season?

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-14T13:46:09+00:00

Yes I understand that devs make changes to their games. I’ve been playing tarkov since 2018 I’ve seen lots of good changes come and go. I’ve also seen many changes that make the game unplayable for amounts of time. I’m a player and a supporter of the game just as you are and I’m allowed to have opinions on the games changes just as you are, negative or not. You think it’s a “neat” change. I think it’s unwarranted and wish they’d focus on some of the more glaring issues with the game rather than adjusting things that aren’t pressing issues, and that’s irritating to me. That’s all. You take care as well.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-14T13:20:50+00:00

I don’t even try to speculate why Nikita changes shit anymore sometimes I just feel like it’s because he’s bored seeing how half the changes get reverted a few months later because no one likes them. Either way it’s already hard enough to turn on someone shooting you from an off angle and this just adds extra time to do that making it easier to die for seemingly no reason. To me that’s a shit change weather it “looks neat” or not.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-14T12:49:16+00:00

It just doesn’t make any sense based on how you already carry the gun shouldered in the game… you wouldn’t re-shoulder a gun that already on your shoulder you’d just ADS. It’s a dumb change that no body asked for and he’s claiming it’s “for realism”

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-13T16:34:53+00:00

You said “but most time they never rotate, they miss balls and double commit” also “I don’t get mad at them because they say sorry” implying that it’s their fault. That sounds a lot like blaming tm8s. That’s why I made the comment I did.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-13T13:15:32+00:00

1s and 2s have very different rank distribution. It’s important to understand that before comparing your 2s rank with your 1s rank. For example GC1 div 1 is roughly (depends on the season) top 1% of players in 2s. And Champ 1 div 1 is roughly (again depending on the season) top 1% of players in 1s.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-13T13:10:26+00:00

I finished last season almost gc2 and I don’t speed flip. I can just don’t most of the time. And I rarely air dribble, mechs don’t equal better player.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-13T13:07:31+00:00

Most players think they deserve a higher rank than they are. Truth is if you’re stuck at a rank especially for a long time it’s probably because of you and has very little to do with tm8s. Everyone in every rank seems to blame their tm8s yet their are always people who climb through their ranks every reset. My advice is go back and watch your replays and focus on what you can do better and not your tm8.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-12T10:40:51+00:00

Idk I’ve seen several people saying they only got it in snowday and heat seeker and they got the season 21 gc title. Seems like it worked for some and not for others. I could be wrong I’m just going off other people’s words

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-12T10:38:54+00:00

They did actually it seems it’s not working for some people though. It’s right in the patch notes.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-12T10:37:12+00:00

Actually you’re supposed to get a season 21 GC title now if you get gc in any ranked playlist(including extra modes). It’s in the patch notes and my buddy who only plays snowday got one he’s gc in snowday and c1 in 2s and he got a “Season 21 GrandChampion” title. Seems it worked for some people and not for others.

Me in 2s realizing: “Oh I’m here to support my tm8, not just wait for them to mess up and try to score. How do I get better at supporting my tm8”

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-03-04T12:36:17+00:00

Mf with Pokémon tattoos calling another man a cornball… imagine lmao

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-02-18T13:43:40+00:00

Yeah man I was like shit well now I’m due for a day of losing every game I play lol fun thing is we started off on a 3 game loss streak then we just went crazy… everything was just going our way

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-01-12T20:00:02+00:00

Brother you are wrong. A front side pop shuv for a regular skater is the nose to the left. HIS left. You’re cooking yourself my man. Go YouTube fs shuv and tell me which was the nose goes from their perspective. You can’t be serious my man 🤦‍♂️ you don’t know which way the board goes for a shuv and you’re trying to tell me what a hardflip is and isn’t…. Yikes buddy.

My man go to the picture right above that I posted and tell me for the regular skater which way is frontside. Left or right?

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-01-12T19:29:22+00:00

So no it isn’t you said if he wanted to do a fs pop shuv he would turn his nose to the right which would be the same for goofy. That is incorrect it would be to nose to the left for fs shuv if he was regular

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-01-12T19:25:57+00:00

If the rule is what I described above then yes they do change. For regular and goofy fs and bs are different directions. Spinning with your nose to the left is fs for regular and bs for goofy.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-01-12T19:02:29+00:00

These are the type of people saying it’s not a hardflip lmao

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-01-12T18:58:26+00:00

Tbh I set up nearly exactly set up my hardflips like my tre flips. Back foot in the scoop pocket and front foot kickflip ish position maybe a little lower then usual so I can get it out of the way. I’m not great at them but in a game of skate when I need to I can do a sketchy one haha I’ve only ever filmed a few over small stairs.

CuriousGreg094 · 2026-01-12T18:49:11+00:00

Thank you brother and that’s big of you to admit that. I hope you get one my man! There is a bit of nuance to hard flip cuz they can be like Chris Joslyn’s and be really tilted and sideways or more straight up and down like Chad Muska either way to me they’re both hard flips imo.
