Yo XJ'ers!
One of my m8s told me, that the 2 strafe styles i use is not the only ones, theres also 2 other. Is that right ? I can't explain the strafes good, so i uploaded a picture of it:

every1 has different strafe technique, but to gain horizontal speed u need only left/right mouse movement so 1st is the best..

3 and four can't really been seen as seperate "strafing styles". They are just variations of the 1..

circle strafes (2.) can be easier for beginners, since it is easier to time you keyboard fingers with the mousemovement.

1. is harder to time, but said to be more effective. I don't really think, that 1. is more effective, but 2. needs just longer than 1. thats why most people prefer 1. style :)

btw if you want to see some really great circlestrafes.. just download kenny's 253 lj demo. 5 circle strafes, really look nice.

Circle strafes are just an extreme version of no.4

What about doing tiny circle strafes while moving the mouse from left to right.

Like no.1 but while moving from left to right you do tiny circles in it :P


EDIT: I personally think no person can achieve perfectly straight strafes like in picture 1
