It is often necessary to perform high scoring combos to achieve the high scores and sick scores involved in the goals, especially in later games.

Get there goals (THP8) do not necessarily require a combo to complete, but often must be completed in one combo to reach the 'sick' rating.

They usually follow a logical line involving grinds and jumps.

COMBO lines (THPS4 onwards) involve having to hit a certain line to collect the letters C-O-M-B-O in one combo.

Also extended to Sick combo goals later in the series.

High combo goals (THPS2 onwards) involve achieving a certain score in a single combo.

To complete goals, it is necessary to perform combos, either aiming for a high score, to hit a line, or to get from one location to another: Base score: 100 + 50 + 100 = 250 Multiplier: 3.5x Score: 3.5x 250 = 875 Uses Ĭombo is an important part of the game and in fact the only way to achieve high scores.

The manual's score is defined by its time held, so for simplicity it is assumed that it is worth 50 points. In later games, rotations only increase the score of the individual trick that it is applied to.Ĭombo: kickflip + manual + 180 heelflip Assuming none of the tricks have been performed before, the kickflip and heelflip are both worth 100 points. In the early games in the series, half a turn equalled 0.5x added to the multiplier. Rotations also add to multiplier although this depends on the game. For example Kickflip in THPS3 will degrade as follows: 100, 75, 50, 25, 10. However if the same trick will be used in another combo, its score will degrade, which means a lower value will be added to the base score. The first trick performed starts the chain with a 1x multiplier, with each further trick adding one to this multiplier. A combo often includes many grinds and manuals to link together high scoring moves.Įach trick performed adds its value to the base score, with each further trick increasing the base score by the same amount as if the trick were to be performed on its own.Įach trick also adds to the multiplier. Combo in THPS series refers to the act of linking tricks together (in a combination) to achieve higher scores or longer lines.
