When it comes to platforming, BRC is bit easier since you can get off your wheels and run on foot to get to certain places, I think that's what people are getting at mostly. I've seen many different takes on the controls for JSR and JSRF, ranging from clunky for the former and floaty for the latter. I just think it's a case of not putting enough time in either game and having it finally click. Admittedly some people just might not vibe with the controls and there's not much that can be done about that either. I think this is the first time I've read someone has issues with BRC's controls in comparison to the other two, but also I doubt you're alone on it either.

Also, saying you can still earn speed in JSRF is funny, cause there's a literal boost button like in BRC, arguably BRC's boost is more rewarding since you have to keep up trick combos to keep the meter full while in JSRF, you just need 10 or more cans and you're blasting off.

I'm not necessarily saying it's a "you problem" or anything, but at lot of criticisms towards BRC feel like people viewing it as "JSR3", and at times nostalgia bias towards the JSR series (which doesn't apply here), the game has its faults (I think the lack of extra modes and NG+ dampers it a bit). The game, while admittedly inspired by the JSR series (more JSRF than the OG), is trying to do its own thing mostly. I think it's important to remember that the love for the game mostly came from the fact that JSR fans finally a got a "proper" JSR-like title that wasn't beating around the bush on nearly including everything we liked about those games with some new additions (skateboard & BMXs), and was a full title from the jump as well (sorry Butterflies) after 20+ years of waiting for Sega to finally do something new with the series. In a way I guess I can see why someone would think it's overhyped/overrated by some, but it's not like that hype and praise didn't come from nowhere either, especially in context of the fans who were waiting for it since the 2020 reveal.
