Bhop

pls upload the demo @ sendspace.com , every time i try to dl from rapid lately it shows me "invalid download"

Looks like bad timing to me :S
I think you should focus more on getting the timing right and less on the small strafes inbetween

Well, try to jump with mwheel...

to hard to time the bhops with your space ;)

Here is the style Im using while bhop

I know Im not good but just have in mind that Im drunk now when I recorded :D

I try to keep reminding myself to slow down if i start hitting the mousewheel too fast, you don't need to OMGSCROLL when you hit the ground, just a medium speed scroll will do you best, i try to think of scrolling slow enough so i'll be scrolling before i hit the ground and a little bit after. Not too slow or you won't get effective jumps all the time, but not so fast that you'll be out of scroll when you land :)

After getting used to timing on flat ground you really want to practice timing just by visual, because it's easy to get into the rythem of bhoping on flat ground, but when it comes to landings higher or lower then you, your timing changes.

Also make sure your on a solid strafe before you bhop, no changing directions right when you land, do that in the air.

Smooth strafes are the winning key for bhoping.
Here's the way i do it.

Notice how im really only making 1 strafe per hop, and that with consistant smooth strafing, you can slowly up your speed, but if you need a speed boost really quickly, what i do is give my strafe a quick nudge right when i land, or if i need an even bigger boost, i circle strafe (2 strafes per hop) as well as giving it a quicker nudge when i land. Doing more then 2 strafes per bhop is hard to do effectively every time, and only really reserved for the need of a bhop boost and mid-air boost.

Other then timing it's learning how to quickly reset your mouse because doing extended bhop runs you can run yourself into an awkwerd position fast :D I have the most difficulty with doing bhops up then down right after (or the otehr way around) the sudden timing change can get me. Also the stand-up bhops are hard to get used to doing :)

Edit: DL'd goldbhop and in a few runs did this

You can see i still have a long way to go .. alongside backing off by accident >.< But that shows what smooth strafes + a few duck and standup bhops can do.

Keep working at it, focus on cutting your strafes down, smoothing them and keeping a nice consistant scroll speed and you should have it in a few days at most :D i also find it a little harder to bhop on those drop blocks then solid blocks but that's just me :rolleyes:

You have a wacky strafe style Scooter, that rules :D totaly pwned me there. GJ.

I hope there's a guide made on how to do the standup bhop (or duckboosts i guess some may call it) is there anything special you need to do? Or is it just bhoping while you've ducked then standing up after you've jumped?

does someone have a demo of this stand-up bhop technique? cause I cant remember how was it done

EDIT: I found out that the problem was in my timing.The strafes are fine :)

i made goldbhop and rabbithighwayez yesterday :E

i just cant make bhopLJ's and duckbhops yet :E

vsync is off,and the fps is still 60. The strange thing is that i have a tft screen now and I have 60 fps.before I had a normal screen and i had 100 fps...
