HOW TO PLAY
Once you've selected your team and class (in Tournament mode you start in E Class) your four-person team will start their jump. Press the displayed buttons to execute required formations.
SCREEN DISPLAY
•
1 Team name and attack meter
•
4 Formation execution pattern
•
5 Chute deployment height
Required formation patterns using the directional buttons are highlighted in green diagrams. Required formation patterns using the right buttons are highlighted in red diagrams.
UNITED WE FALL
After your team leaps from the plane, you need to successfully complete more four-way formations than the rival team. Doing each formation correctly will slow your fall, allowing you time to execute more tricks. To perform a four-way formation, correctly enter the button sequence displayed on the screen before time expires. Keep doing the tricks until your team runs out of altitude and is forced to break up and pull. If you miss a formation, you'll have to start again from the first formation in the sequence. ATTACKING
As you complete team formations, you'll earn Attacks. Attacks force rivals to fall faster, making it difficult for them to do additional formations. You can Attack in Tournament and 2P Battle modes.
As your team successfully performs formation patterns, the red Attack Meter at the top left corner of the screen will eventually fill until you see the letter A. When you see a letter A, it means that your team has enough power to execute an Attack that can force the rival team to fall at a higher rate of speed.
When a team is attacked, it must perform a special defensive formation before returning to their normal competition formations. Attack patterns are random, but it's important to successfully complete the moves to avoid losing precious time during the competition.
ATTACK METER
Complete formations to power up your Attack Meter. If you're willing to risk exposing your team to an Attack, save up your Attack Meter power until you have three complete bars (complete bars are indicated by the letter A).
The more bars that you use during an Attack, the more formations the rival team must accomplish to escape. Press L1 to execute an Attack.
ATTACK INDICATOR
After an Attack takes place, you'll see an Attack Indicator that will display the level of the Attack and how many formations you've successfully completed to neutralize the freefall.
SPEED IS THE BEST DEFENSE
The faster you can recover, the sooner you'll be able to return to your formation. Take too long and your team will be eliminated from the contest.
TOURNAMENT
Single-player Tournament mode is a challenging international competition that pits your team against the best jumpers in the world.
TEAM SELECT
After selecting the Tournament mode option on the main menu, choose from one of the six international teams. Unless you're loading a saved game, your team will begin playing in the fledgling E-Class. The computer will always choose your opponents.
CONTINUE
Whenever you lose a match, you'll arrive at this continue option screen. Because Skydiving Extreme is a challenging game, you have unlimited continues. Keep jumping until you win and move up to the next class!
RANKING
If your team ranks high enough, you'll see this screen when you leave Tournament mode. Enter your name or initials so you can be recognized on the Skydiving Extreme Ranking Screen!
TOURNAMENT CLASSIFICATIONS
Skydiving Extreme Tournament mode features six challenging skill classes. Each class is progressively more difficult than the previous level. E-Class is the easiest classification and serves as a freeflying sort of ground school for the complex classes to come. S-Class is the toughest.
As you progress, you'll learn to enter specific buttons on both sides of the controller at near-blinding speeds. Attack formations are always the toughest to complete!
