Are WR holders geniuses or just geeks?
imo the only necesary things:
- geeking alot
- nerve and patience
- discipline(alot of players stay too focused and concentrated when they play, you can see for example their left hand pumping up with blood because their not relaxed...and for that, discipline is required)
- good hand coordinating(ambidextrous are the lucky ones for the perfect coordonation of their hands, if they are also fast on their hands they could become very good longjumpers in a very short amount of time).
- passion
Some guys find kreedz to be a very hard game because they don't have a good coordonation of their hands...Example: for me it's very hard to longjump a big distance because i have a lack of coordonation and speed to my left arm fingers for strafing, so a long time i've jumped 250 stats only with 4 strafes.If i intended to try to do 5 strafes, they would all fuck up.
Originally posted by KangarooHonestly I think it's less about raw talent, and more about knowing how to improve properly. Sure, some people are just inherently better than others at certain things, but people are hindered by the innate probability that they are probably going to form bad habits, and that will hinder their play.
In my case, I've sort of hit a plateau in KZ because I've formed bad habits and can't shake them. My LJ can't break the occasional 250, and I've been active for seven years playing about an hour a day. I don't think this is because I just can't get any better, I think it's because there are some things wrong with my play at the very basic level that, in order to break free of these poor habits, I'd have to totally reconstruct how I play KZ. I believe that straight up geeking won't fix my problem, because I would only be continually reinforcing my bad habits.
Just what i wanted to say.
The proof is my LJ, im not talent, not genious and i dont geek so much, but i jump 254-256 only because i know how to jump, how to improve my strafes and how to correct my mistakes. But all this knowladge i claimed for years and offcourse geeking just to imoprove my hands movements.
EDIT.
Btw word genious is necessary here, cuz there were only few genious. Like Kreedz, FoF(discovered so many things), theddy(improved dcj), Brian(cant explain reason) and so on and on...
sory for bad english
Brian for the discovered tjs and for showing us that everybody can do some uber jumps with big distance without being a lj geek :D
Genious geeks.
Both.
maybe they are geniouses or maybe they just are obsessed with kreedz ;]
24/03/2012 15:21guess some are more talented than others when it comes to strafing, timing etc. That and alot of geeking
What about Virtus Pro? is the same...if you play alot every day,you get skills.. just some questions to this people: KeltA, Brain, koukouz, shNz & kayne
How years are you in the kz world?
How time do you spent playing kz?
Do you play every day?
How you got your skills?
see ya %)

+1 haha:D g33k->pro->wr->ez

- A lot of practice (though once you have reached a good level, you won't lose it without a regular practicing whereas in sport you lose your endurance)
- Something you won't learn with geeking is the calculation of the fastest paths. Know where to land exactly to be able to jump without losing time for example.
Anyway talking about talent in a video game is taboo here ("hahaha how can you compare sport competition with kz competition, noob no life xD") so you better not mention it, but I guess some people have more ease to control the movements than others.
Originally posted by kzru`ShoCkIt's not about geeking only, but about talent too as well. I know many people who play around 5 years now and the biggest part of them are not even close to the skill of the current top5 players.
I believe that good mouse + geeking + talent is the key for success. Also some small details like game settings, cs' window size and comfortable workplace. However, I'm getting only worse with the time, so I guess I'm an exception :(
when u finally understand the game, then its very easy to improve your skills.. only few could do this... otherwise, geeking is another way to be good, no doubt.
Alot of good and intresting post here!

Good point. At this point I don't know how to differ a genius from a virtuos pro.
Originally I started this thread because these WR holders jump maps like they're nothing. This got me thinking they were geniuses, because there are very few who can jump like this. When you go to public servers there is rarely someone who has a WR time, not even close in the Top 15.
But after reading all your posts I think "genius" might be exaggerated, "talented" is more reasonable here. Good hardware does affect your jumping alot and gives you advantages to someone with standard computer equipment. Talent is needed ofcourse and also geeking.
Still, these elite jumpers are fascinating and very talented to me.
You can not know whether I'm a genius, I am better than koukouz, but I don't want to record.

This.
@new/niki hahahahaha. yeah sure. i can easily beat every wr but i dont waste my genious mind on such things
The people that don't masturbate and rather use their hands for geeking always wins.

Check and mate !
Calmness, patience, joy and the thought in your mind that, this is actually easy.
You also must use correct mind-sets to be able to jump w/o stress. I was able to do incredible things when i was under the affect of drugs which fully transformed my state of mind. It felt like it wasn't me that's doing all of those things. And you might agree with me that confidence is also a matter of factor, if you'll think that you're a really great jumper, you'll actually be.
thexdvl, that's interesting, why don't you try to fly like a bird in the sky, when you're under the influence of drugs, tell to yourself "I'm faking bird" and jump from a buliding.
