First and foremost I'd like to thank OutlawPenguin for editing this for me. He did an excellent job
This video represents my first month of stunting GTA:V. I haven't stunted in...4 years now I think. The last game I stunted was Vice City for the last ATS video. I saw some of the videos that the crews were putting together for V and decided to give it a try. I've always wanted to make a pizzaboy solo so I figured this would be the perfect chance since I'm fresh to the game and map.
My stunting has improved greatly over the past month so you get stunts from when I was just discovering how to play up to recent stunts. Watch the video now, I will ramble more after
SuperstarGoing into GTA:V from Vice City was a little more challenging than I thought it would be. The world is so complex that a simple idea turns into a nightmare of technicalities. The faggio loves to catch little ledges and loses speed at an incredible rate. Not seen in the videos are my ridiculous runups with tight turns, me stopping wheelies for split seconds to avoid bumps, sidewalks .etc
I decided to come into this game with as fresh a mind as possible, I watched a few of the bigger crew videos, learned the dos and don'ts, and freshened up on the physics that were already known so I wouldn't spend too much time figuring them out. Some spots might be old with other bikes, I wouldn't know. I do plan on continuing stunting, the Faggio is really fun. At speed it reminds me of the PCJ600 in Vice City a little.
What I have learned about the Faggio:
- It will hit any small ledge or imperfection
- Getting consistent bumps is fairly difficult because of the above point
- True speed is achieved downhill
- Having tight turns in the runup can still conserve enough speed if done correctly
- Tight turns at fast speeds can cause you to drift/slide
- Every decent bump has potential for several stunts
- Dirt, grass,and sand are your enemy, you can barely gather speed on unpaved surfaces
- Going from a paved surface to a dirt one (and having your front wheel touch) slows you down so drastically that your rear end starts to slide, making it easy to lose control (2:48)
- The brakes are absolutely useless and make precs/smaller roofs very hard to stay on
- Double bumps are king, usually a sidewalk to a second bump
- Momentum from gliding is not conserved, once wheels are below you, you lose tons of forward momentum immediately
I think the Faggio can go even bigger than what I've landed but the spots will need to really be perfect and the runups immense.
We need to petition Rockstar to get a Pizzaboy version of the Faggio with pizza side missions.
