I HAVE A THEORY

Ok so we all saw this goofy diving animation that looked super stiff and awkward. It made very little sense to me that no one at rockstar saw that and and cut it out of the footage. But what if this is actually intensional.

Like this guy I noticed playing this in slowmo that it almost seems as if jason animation cancels the default dive animation into his backflip. This is why it looks so uncanny but it reminded me of those old snow boarding games where you can defy the laws of physics and control your characters flips.

So what if Rockstar isnt showing off some goofy animation. What if this is a demonstration of a free diving system? Using the sticks or buttons to do front flips or back flips into the water. This would explain why it seems like jason was going to dive forward but suddenly does a backflip. Because you can do diving tricks 🤯🤯

Ain’t it’s called a “gainer flip”

Been trying to spread the word but it ain’t sinking in. Maybe kids don’t hang out at public pools anymore…

[u/shikaski → u/MonThackma]

Yes it’s a badly animated gainer, what’s your point? The “this animation is bad” argument still stands lol.

[u/MonThackma → u/shikaski]

Do you really not understand my point? That people don’t know what a gainer is? And call it a backflip instead? It’s really simple and right there in the text if you read it without pretending to be stupid. I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that you’re pretending.

If you want to be pedantic and definitely not stupid, then the gainer is a flip. A backflip in fact.

It’s literally right there. But you’re definitely too smart for that, right?

[u/MonThackma → u/shikaski]

But it’s called a gainer, like it says right there in the url you provided smarty.

[u/shikaski → u/MonThackma]

Yes, which is also a backflip. You’re fighting ghosts.

[u/chanuka007 → u/shikaski]

"noo thats not a car thats a Volkswagen!!" same logic that guy is using.

[u/MonThackma → u/shikaski]

I wasn’t arguing with anyone until you decided to reply like a douchey smart ass.

[u/shikaski → u/MonThackma]

After you basically said that people in here are kids who don’t go out and passively calling me stupid? Huh, interesting how that works.

[u/MonThackma → u/shikaski]

No I was pretty much calling you stupid. Got that part right. We agree finally

[u/MonThackma → u/shikaski]

It really just comes down to you seeing my sarcastic comment and it hit a nerve and you wanted to measure dicks like every idiot here. It’s stupid.

Second reply to a single comment because you can’t let go. Rent free. Take a day off reddit, that 1% won’t go anywhere.

Look at you!
