See Saw Tips and Tricks
This one is from here, timestamped in the link at 2:06 if it doesn’t redirect already:
So, you’ve probably been irritated at SeeSaw. In case you didn’t remember what it was, it’s this:
First of all, if you were on the other side of that (the left side) , you’d be f*in p*ssed. “Why does the seesaw not come down? do i have to go back all the way around to the right side bridge? why do people keep throwing themselves, falling down, and causing the seesaw to forever be unbalanced?”
and while you’re on the right side, you’d also be f*in p*ssed. Not true to example but you could think “why the f I keep falling down, this seesaw is TOO steep to even walk on, I keep sliding down to my death everytime i get on”
This tip is for people on the right side first. You might not trust me but you can do the jump and not fall, as long as it’s not STEEPER than the picture of the pink one provided actually it can even be steeper than the picture and this will still work and helps the most in that situation.You need to try to find out.
Here’s the trick: Jump-Dive once to the direction of the high side, and keep walking to the higher side of the seesaw. I know what you’re thinking, “this is a bad idea. Diving makes me fall flat on my face, on a slope that’s gonna make me slide off, I can’t go the other side, let alone land and stand”.
I’m telling you, it’s not. You need technique to perform this jump. When the seesaw is high on the left, you should jump DIAGONALLY from the right to the left, or even try to make your jump as horizontal as possible (aligning yourself with the seesaw shape). I will illustrate my point with Microsoft Paint:
Basic Nature of Fall Guys #1 So, when you land on any surfaces (including seesaw) from a presumably higher place, the basic rule of nature is that you will need some time until you can walk.
That is fall guys physics at it’s finest. And it turns out that knowing this helps a lot in See Saw. Look at what happens in both examples. The top one is what you should do. If you Fall with your Face touching the seesaw, over the next split second you won’t be able to walk, but you will be repositioned into standing and therefore have “walking grip” on the seesaw. you won’t fall off. Again, provided it’s not too steep, you will be able to walk.
Look at the second example. You jump on the heavy side of the seesaw, time passes for a split second, and… you’ve fallen on your back. you just can’t walk and can’t get out of it. You slide down to your death.
So, in order to achieve the first position, you should.. well. Jump-Dive. To the direction wherever the high side of the seesaw is.
This might sound like a bad idea, again, but please, don’t knock it until you try it.
This is somewhat legit because I have done a lot of jump dives in my seesaw games. It does work on semi-steep seesaws. There are times where it’s too steep, or I landed badly, and I just fell, but with several tries and patience, I got through.
And this actually benefits fellow players and ALSO YOU. By walking to the higher side of the seesaw, you:
- A. help the people on the left who are waiting get on the seesaw. they’re behind you so who cares, help the game be equal on both side of the bridges, they might even hinder each other by being too heavy on one side of some seesaw you’ve already passed yet again.
- B. Your “slow walk time” lets the next seesaw not overcrowd/become too steep to perform a jump-dive grip. It will balance itself out with less players.
- C. You will be standing on the lesser stood-on seesaw. After the pink one in the example, there’s two seesaws, left and right. If the right side is angled that steeply, it’s proof that A LOT OF PEOPLE WENT TO THE RIGHT a few seconds before. Distributing the amount of people evenly helps the game be less chaotic.
If you follow this tip, you must realize that you are being cooperative, and it turns out… on some rounds, being cooperative is the best play. Who would’ve thought? In general, I try to balance out the seesaws when I can by walking over the middle line to the other side when it’s starting to get uneven, but there are some cases where you shouldn’t. Basically, if there’s no seesaw in front of where you’re standing… well. Streams of people will enter from the other side, weighing down the other side continuously, causing the distance for you (the balancer on the high side) too far to jump to the next seesaw that is angled the opposite way. I learned that the hard way. Be nice when there’s only one seesaw on your row AND the next row of Seesaw has two seesaws, on left and right. Not when there’s only one.
