So me and a friend of mine are having a similar problem. We're both fatigued from practicing, and this problem wasn't a problem before, so it's probably related to the fatigue. But something I'm doing is causing my pre to drop rapidly when I'm setting up to do a lot of good strafes. It goes as low as 230, worse than just moving forwards.

It's almost like a high jump effect, except on normal blocks. I don't really understand it, maybe someone can explain it to me.

?!? :(

your pre strafe turn isn't good enough. i dont know how to help you.. try ta only train the pre without any strafes, then when you are doing ~270+ all the time, add the strafes.

hope you get your pre back! ;)

when I pre with just 1 strafe (pre + right turn) I get 274-275 constant. As soon as I start adding strafes, it goes downhill. It even says 274-276 pre on the speedometer until just RIGHT before I take off, then I hear a tiny footstep noise and my pre plummets to 250 or lower.

TlofT12/12/2009 17:20

it makes noise when you jump.. sounds like your holding your pre too long and coming around the circle too much

or maybe the problem i used to have. when you jump, you run (W presed) then you pre strafe (W and D/A pressed) then jump, relase W to do the first strafe without relasing A/D and then strafe like always.. my problem was that after the pre strafe, i relased W before jumping because i was thinking in the first strafe, so the pre strafe goes 250- again. try fixing that

i think you jump too late. I have this problem with my right pre.

Man this is really annoying. Whenever I get 50+ gain, my pre is usually terrible, except occasionally when this happens:

Distance: 248.070617 MaxSpeed: 331.062652 (56.711) PreStrafe: 274.350708 Strafes: 5 Sync: 79
1 11.323 0.000 17.3 75
2 10.223 1.148 14.7 90
3 12.661 0.730 24.4 77
4 12.237 1.071 27.3 70
5 10.266 0.079 16.1 91

But usually it's this:

Distance: 217.865875 MaxSpeed: 284.719787 (48.826) PreStrafe: 235.893783 Strafes: 5 Sync: 71

I think cookie is on to something. So the key is to not release forwards until after u jump?

Men with this stats you should jump 250+ even its only 5 strafes lol.

TlofT13/12/2009 16:44

331ms and only 248 sounds like strafes are too wide.

what blocks are you jumping on? cause unless you have a fit every time you get bad pre, it really looks like edge friction

Dragon13/12/2009 19:07

maybe you should try switching to opposite pre...

Its strange, I jump with W+A pre but with W+D pre I can take 275 easy but cant strafe :X

try to do your strafes faster, expecially your 3rd and 4st

someone made a curse on you dude :/

vilaca-14/12/2009 01:01

a lot of people i know get a fucking stupid thingy that fuc** their pre. they always clean there config, and use a new one. and that thing desapears

wils14/12/2009 11:03

3 12.661 0.730 24.4 77
4 12.237 1.071 27.3 70

Thats why it aint 250....
And to your pre.
You shall jump off in an angle of 45degree at left/right depends on what pretype your choose to use.
You will still have pre and get a nice first strafe.
Cheers

use /speed and slowmo to help increase prestrafe, also turn slowly try to do it like otcheto and sniperok - they have really good turns
also u have same problem as I do on my left pre - which I get 275speed then my strafe turn ruins it, all this is u have to let go of 'w' and strafe,
However, my right pre is always pro - 274+ constant 100% dunno how, like ikm xD

Metagamer14/12/2009 21:13

Thanks for the help everyone. I recorded some demos with /keys and looked at them in slow motion and you guys are right, it has to do with that strafe turn. I will practice making it better and hopefully, when combined with that good strafing, I'll be getting 250s again!

TlofT15/12/2009 06:02

like wils said, those strafes are too huge. almost 52% airtime is a lot for 3/4 strafes

nRone18/01/2010 13:16

i know something about this probleme because i have sometimes the same ^^ some ppl dont look to what they push at the jump but i do always. it is when u start to prestrafe and miss the transitional to the first strafe. its probably a tenth that u miss.
just jump 1 strafe,look at ur pre and start slowly to do more strafes.
i hope it helps

same problem but i fixed it when i go W then W+A i was stop holding W before i jump and in that way the prestrafe goes away try to hold W as many as possible jump and then release it
sorry for the worst english ever ;d
