Tricks that once was impossible but turned out to be easy

Post by Luther »

Have you ever experienced a trick that at first seemed totally impossible and that made you not play a level or even try a style with that trick to become surprisingly easy after some training and studying?

Personally I must say that after seeing Darm's Bowling I was convinced it was totally impossible, because I thought the bounce was as hard (or even harder) than the pipe (which was/is hard as hell). But I was wrong, and the bounce turned out to be really easy. Which leaves only the struggle with the pipe left, and the better pipe, the better time. And hence Darm's SaveLoaded Bowling is beatable, but indeed incredibly hard to beat, but still beatable.

I experienced the same thing with the new end in Tag, which I was totally convinced was impossible at first (and I didn't even bother to play the style), but that turned out an "every day" trick after some practice and rec-studying as well. Surprise surprise.

Those were some of my experiences, and if you have one or two please do share them as well.

Animal farm rooster is very very easy when you realize how it works. I could do it like one out of three tries.

I guess Luther is right, but about all new styles (new here means: styles I haven´t bothered doing yet) seems really hard. I tested some of them, but I guess just too little. Only when I was more beginner I wasted time to learn styles/tricks. Not so patient anymore...

He He bounce around 18 secs or so, looked hard, but when i tried it it turned out to be VERY easy, like 99% doing it.
Also apple harvest brutal (for doing it 1 round) looked hard, but now it's also very easy, I even did it in a 1h tt battle
