6month bump and so far the only advice is dont jump 100aa lol..

+1 100aa fucked my strafes

Distance: 249.542953 MaxSpeed: 318.066131 (44.260) PreStrafe: 273.805450 Strafes: 5 Sync: 79
1 9.861 0.000 16.6 75
2 10.273 0.592 16.6 91
3 8.524 0.111 19.4 64
4 10.423 0.000 20.8 73
5 5.177 0.000 26.3 100

What should I do in order to hit the 250? Except for 6 strafes (my sync sucks big time)?

Well, Harley, there are a few things to improve and providing a demo would also give us a better insight of what is going on here.

Your strafes could be slightly bigger, the first one could provide approximately 2-6 more speed, however doing a bigger first strafe will affect all your other strafes: you'd have to do them faster in order to make all those 5 beautiful strafes. Speed is another thing you could try testing.

Personally my first 250 stats were with 7 strafes and a lousy 60ish synchronisation percent. When you've got more strafes, even if they're smaller, less synchronized and simply worse than your 5 it can potentially provide more distance. Why? Because doing less strafes means you take more speed (at least theoretically) and by taking more speed you move more to the sides, and that eats up the distance. You can do a 245 with 345 maxspeed and high sync, but its because you would be doing too big strafes. Varying the speed AND size can have a positive effect.

You're so close to 250 that you could hit that point any time. When I did my first 250 I started doing 250's very often within the first week of hitting that elusive GODLIKE-sound. When you're that good already you've got a good basis to start developing on. Don't try anything too difficult, if doing more strafes is too difficult you should definitely without a doubt stick with 5 instead.

A3T!U$` wisely said "increase your prestrafe", and that thing would definitely also increase your distances. A static 275 (or even 276ish) is not impossible, and a prestrafe is the foundation of a longjump.

Keep up the good work, mr. registered-for-over-5-years-and-claiming-to-be-a-novice-jumper.

thanks a lot, kafds, very rich and helpful post!
i try and stick with 6 strafes for now, working my sync up to bout 80ish and, yeah, prestrafe :( i suck at it. every now and then i hit the "magical" 275+ but its so rare. and I only hit it on the blocks on kz_lj2.
oh and kafds, I wish I would have sticked to kz for those five years - I wouldn't have to ask such basic quistions then XD

Ok i have a question .... I was playing Kz and i decided to do few jumps at the start button ( flat surface no blocks) then i jumped something like this ( cant copy it right now i am at worck )
253.5 pre:269.5 strafes:6 sync:90 gain:63
so is this a bug or is it some kind of uber luck x_X cuz the jump acording to my calculations goes over 257.7 x_X with max pre.....Btw the server is totaly clean its one of the most famus bg servers and uses the XJ plugins and stuff ( sector ) x_X

Ok but this shit starts to happen very often like since my last post i had a few jumps like
252.4 269 pre 254 272 pre and stuff like this with normal gain ( around 60/65) sync 85/95 6strafes ....i checked my cfg for any sort of cheat /ilegal settings nothin unusual i eaven got me a fresh cfg from a new cs and just adder by bind "mwheelup" "+jump" ... mouse2+duck and stuff like that m_filter 1 and i still got some strange uber stat in witch i am shure it cant be posbile with 6 strafes x_X btw i got a new mouse G5 and it has some strange acceleration witch looks uber ugly but actualy kind of makes me jump alot more then usual... (noticed when i jump and i get the uber accel i mostly do good jumps 253.5+ but the style looks like crap and random x_X .....all jumps 10aa)
And this thing makes me kind of unhappy x_X all tought i jump more i kind of have the fealing something is wrong x_X since my comunity removed the lj recs i cant eaven put up a demo to see if it has something buggy in it x_X but i think its something with the acceleration of the mouse that makes these bugs ... And i havent done like 257 stat or 256 but i get good stat with crap pre witch bothers me ...

Sync does not matter for distance tho - it only increases your speed.

Q.E.D.

look at maxspeed/strafes and u will se why.
