help a new jumper
I registered here like 3 weeks ago. I watched all the guides, I watched a lot of demos ,and i read what u guys say in the forum. At first i was doing fine but then i saw circular strafes regular strafes
i saw high jumps and what strafes u have to use for them. I jump 240 units with scout and my high jump is 220. I know there is a lot of topics for help i read some but i really need my own. When it comes to jumping now i am kind of :confused: i would appreciate if u guys can share some of your knowledge with the new guy :D
you do not need any special strafes for highjumps, just do what you can... and dont expect you will jump 250 after 3 weeks jumping...
Just practic your prestreif in kz_longjumps with 1 streif. and Then practic your straif skill in public or lan server try to mix 1-2 strafes when you will do them well. then go to nex step 2-4 and then 2-5 streifes. [its enough to jump 3h per day LJS and about 3H normal maps for straif skill] you gonna be skilled after a while :). Its like bodybuilding just need alitlbit time :D
yep

+1 i'm jumping for over a year and i only did 247 once with wery big luck. Just keep on training and you'll get it. =)
Until you train more, you are just gonna suck balls. :!
tafatt's words ! training is the mother of jumping :)
for me it was always like this: climbing > bhop > lj
I couldnt finish some maps because of 1-2 lj's...
now after like 9 months i'm happy to have a record of 245 and of being able to do 240 after some trys...
but that'S just since ~2 months....
the interesting thing is, that i always jumped with normal starfes and i got until 243, but i needed like 345678 jumps to get 240. then once i tryed to jump with circles and got 240 quite easily...i wondered and tryed it for like 30min and then my record was already 244 and 2 weeks later 245 and so on...
and that's although 95% of the jumpers (i think so) jump lj's (or at least the record) with normal strafes...
You must practise and find ur own way to do it...
some guys can do 240 knife after 1-2 weeks i need 6 months or so^^
HF
:) now i can easy make 245... but my record is only 247 for now, and 2-3 weeks ago i started lj from 220 and now can 247 :) but once i did 250.. :D
u can do in 1 week from 210 up to 245 if u practic your streif much and prestreifs. but you will be nothing in normal maps . just a player with skilled LJ :)
All of u guys say to practice so i sat down and practiced a little bit.I actually did 240 with usp i dont even know how.I tried it again and again and i could not do it, so then i went on the 220 units. The funny thing is that i can do the 220 units jump with prestrafe but when i tried it with prestrafe and 1-2 strafes i could not jump it.I watched 50 demos (not a dramatization) and i try to do the same strafes its just that mine suck or something. :(
Did anyone have the same experience as me?
u need a good prestrafe
dunno how to explain in english cuz i dont speak very well :D
don't try to make 6-7 strafes, start from 2-3 :)
Great advise...your prestrafe and your first strafe are the most important stafes of your ENTIRE jump, if you do them well, you will get a very nice airspeed carrying you through the jump...Easy :D
Guys i have been practicing and i think i am improving day by day, but i have another question for you.When u do long jumps do u make the first strafe really big and then the other strafes really short?
14/07/2007 06:04I make all of them big strafes and do them fast
well, i really dont know, but usually you make the 1st one big, then the others short, but not by much just enough to prepare you for your other strafes
It's me asking for some advice again :D. So i finally jump 245 units with 4 strafes. To move on i need to make 5 or more strafes, so i tried to do 5 strafes well is not as easy as i was thinking. I tried to do them quickly but they were useless, i tried to do them slowly but i could not do as much strafes, I tried to do them like the people on the demos but is really hard.I wanted to ask is doing so much strafes so quickly a talent or something because i cant get other explanation :D

i have one question too, all strafes must be the same size as first one ?
well, best strafe is when u get as much speed as u can get and is not long... (shorter with x speed is better than longer with same x speed)
