Spin Strafing
Hey there,
i created this thread to share an idea of a new or at least unusual way of strafing.
I know some people might have already thought about it in the past, but this now is a more specific view on it.
This strafestyle may be useful for longjumps, countjumps, but not much for climbing i guess.
I made a detailed picture with all information you will need to understand what I'm about, so just take a look:

At the moment I really don't know how far we can possibly get with that, but i did 240 block with a 360° jump. Let me tell you that i was far across the border of the block. There's no demo (i just lucked it somehow).
IchWill is working on a script for that, to find out where the limits are. Once the script is done we will know if it's useful (=better than normal strafing) or not.
I posted this because there might be some geeks out there who could get familiar with the movement quicker than IchWill can script. If so, post your block demos (that's right, no-one cares for stats, block matters!).
Have fun trying!
Cheers, eMTi
i really wanna see a demo of this style of strafing .. all those arrows makes me dizzy Oo
hmm seems wierd xD
Have to try i though :D
I don't really think this will work -.-

wouldn't you go backwards tho?
w00t looks like impressive :<.. I'll try this o_o.. Anyway thanks of sharing this with us !
Wow after some try I can't do it.. :/
no leggie you turn your mouse with the direction your going, so your always going the same way.
That's the point .. you can't gain any speed or at least for 10 tries I couldn't

u don't even understand why u need to eat everyday :D <3
demooo !
it looks insanely hard. I tried to visualize it in my head but I just couldn't figure out how u gain speed after u are done with the first W strafe.. waiting for demo
01/01/2009 02:06thought about that a while ago. personally I dont think its same good as normal strafing. since there are sharp movement vector changes, I suggest that all or most of the gained speed will be lost on those vector changes.
but who knows... in practice it can appear that such strafes much more eficient and even with those losses get more gain in summary.
gl for finding out
afterall "vectorchanges" ar smoother than normal A-D strafing.
This way you change keys from W-A then A-S then S-D and then back to D-W again. so only 90°. normal strafing needs 180° change (A<->D).
problem is, that it's insanly hard to get the movement timed good, because you need to take care of the point of view and everything.
Here's another thing i just read:
If you do a right pre you should press keys (in air) in the following order:
W-A-S-D-W-..
meanwhile you turn your mouse to the RIGHT. That way the transition from prestrafe to airstrafes is smooth.
You could say that you mouse to the right while, you press the keys the "left way around" (=against) the clock.

n1 man lol
(i dont understand) :DD
well, if youre always holding the key in the direction youre going at you wont gain any speed right? Oo
