Learn the best way to deploy your wingsuit in SSX 3 for maximum speed and lift. Get tips on pre-jump preparation and trick execution.

Alright, so you're about to hit the slopes and deploy your wingsuit in SSX 3. Don't worry if your character looks a little sideways or even upside down when you first deploy – it's just a visual thing and won't affect your control. You can steer just like normal, even if it looks a bit wonky at first!

The real secret to getting awesome speed and air with your wingsuit is all about setting yourself up before you even jump. Here's the play:

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Prep for Speed: Before you plan to deploy your wingsuit, focus on building up some serious speed. Use your boost and get into a tuck. The faster you're going into the jump, the better your wingsuit launch will be.
  2. 2
    The Jump Combo: Line up your jump. As you're about to hit it, start holding down two buttons: your 'jump' button and your 'boost' button.
  3. 3
    The Crucial Release: Right as you jump, release the 'jump' button and immediately deploy your wingsuit. This timing is everything! If you wait even a second too long to deploy after jumping, you'll lose that precious momentum you built up.
  4. 4
    Tricks or Wingsuit? If you're planning to do some sweet tricks on a jump where you also want to use your wingsuit, deploy the wingsuit *first*. The momentum from the jump will carry you higher and farther than if you tried to do tricks first.
  5. 5
    Ride and Land: Once you're high enough and have a clear path to your landing spot, release the wingsuit button. You'll have plenty of airtime to pull off a couple of big tricks on the way down.
Tips
  • Don't overthink the initial orientation of your character when deploying the wingsuit; it's purely cosmetic.
  • Always prioritize building speed before the jump for optimal wingsuit performance.
  • The jump-boost-deploy sequence needs to be fluid and immediate to maximize momentum.
  • If tricks are a priority on a jump, deploy the wingsuit immediately upon jumping to carry that momentum into your aerial maneuvers.
