lol the xtremeblock sc is nice, is difficult, doesn't cut off even one jump, makes the wr faster etc etc etc
i don't see the point...

you just care too much

Yeah, exactly. The xtremeblock sc pwns, but on on maps like kz_ea_highblock when supa beat it with a timerslide that just gave him a few seconds head start, when it wasn't a sc at all. I think that's just lame.

Supa12/11/2008 09:01

It's a speed sc... the xtremeblock one is a jump sc... same thing... they're both scs.

it might be an ugly sc...but its` still a sc... no1 is saying anything about kz_space... or for that matter alot of other maps... if this type of sc can be used by everyone (and it can !) then it must be allowed... ye..sure some players have an advantage over others, because they can do this timerslide sc 10/10 tries... but with enough geekin... u can do it to.. so stop complaining and pwn the damn wrs with or without that sc :P

The one on highblock wasn't a sc. SC = shortcut. On highblock you didn't cut through the normal route. You just gained more speed. It's definetly not a sc.

allmost every map has the hight enoughe to hook up somewhere and dive to the timer and do the timer-slide. that means most wrs can be broken! NICE! or not?

make a rule that says amx/all plugins has to be off when recording a wr. that way you can use the timer-slide only if you have the pations to do the map before recording :)

i dont have a problem with it. mappers can just make the start buttons a square shape cant they? imo anything goes as long as its legit settings etc. kz is about doing maps as fast as possible.

what if "wall strafing" hadnt been discovered until recently? some wrs could be beaten solely because of it, would that make it "cheap"? imo no.

scorefax12/11/2008 14:17

of course its sad, when you want to download the demo of an older wr of that map, but you cant , because anyone has done it faster with the timerslide
but i think the aim of jumping is to do the map as fast as possible so you do anything to be the fastest, and so you use every short cut, everything you find, that makes you faster, and the timerslide is one of it
so in my opinion its good that its allowed
i think in the future there will be found many other ways of short cuts , and so older wrs will be broken
but thats the game

scorefax12/11/2008 14:34

you cant say that these shortcuts are ok and other shortcuts are unfair, i mean everyone can make the timerslide so its fair, isnt it?

This timerslide sc doesn't affect many maps.. And I think many people don't even think it's worth it to try and do this sc.

why is this thread been created now? there is so many old demos there have timer slide...

it's like to say you can't do cj on highjumps (in kz maps ofc) because it makes it more ezy, imo

ye.. and with combination of "LJ record" rules and "WR demos" rules u won't be able to do HJ with CJ/BHOP tech (only with LJ) and kz_sandblock2 will be imp unless some1 do 245 @HJ block :D

Tess12/11/2008 15:23

I don't see what the big deal is, it doesn't give much anyway and its really easy. Imo keep it as it is..

And WRs are just WRs.. People will still take the normal routes on public, but it's their choice if they want to do it in their LAN-server or not.

Just make that poll so we can get a clear view of ppl's oppinions! :)

Uh dude.. make some sense before you post please. FoF gained the same amount of speed as me when he hit the timer.

pff.. it's not 1 sec.. the fact that supa beated highblock just for 1 sec, it doesn't mean that the sc is 1 sec .

Supa had a slower run than the target's run .
