The more subtle parts is how to most accuratly move the mouse at the right speed and not making too big strafes means you can have lower speed and still jump extremely long. Having 330+ speed with small strafes could be better than 350+ speed with big strafes.

yep thats right. but I jumped 252 with: 7 strafes , 90 sync, 333 speed and 274 prestrafe :(. there must be something else. :D I dont know. Bibo got 255 with almost the same stats.

Tafatt is absolutely right. Spaniolu: Keep in mind that 3 unit difference is not much. Your strafes might be a bit bigger than his.

EDIT: OR your last strafe slows you a bit down.

lol im pro with low speed jump i jumped 253 with 323 speed only :) but sometimes i jump 253 with 330+ if you do fast and small strafes with perfect timing you can easily jump 252+

lol , this is simple physiks:
if in the air a short time with high speed (330units/s)
it´s less effectiv then staying @ lower speed (329units/s) but for a longer time.
You have to keep speed for the hole jump
exept the last frame , in which you duck like bibo said.

I´ve recognized that the speed goes up while i´m
landing ducked , but nobody would say :" wow , while jumping ducked i get 331unit/s , so i only duckjump to do 256units!

That didn't really make any sense to me. Of course in air you have to speed up, not keep the same speed. Anyway I don't see your point.

What would be the optimal strafes? I'm not thinking about the perfect LJ.. I'm just talking about what's optimal for doing like 250 or around there.. Is 4-5 strafes enough? Because I think if I add more than that, I lose all control of the Sync and shit, and I will just keep on fucking up my strafing. 6 is alright sometimes though.

for me the x factor is the angle that you have in the prestrafe when you jump. I have the same problem that lalle but when i get it, i make 244 with 3 strafes easy

the X-factor is geeking.

mhh no, the X-factor is "duck" and another minimum stats..

Z0ck3rOO701/01/2008 17:38

and what is the other minumum stat?

beuhnoix01/01/2008 17:45

273 prestraf, 325 maxspeed (+), 6-7 strafes and 70 ~ 80 syncro. + duck :D = godlike

sylar01/01/2008 18:12

This thread wasnt about ljing 24/7..
Take your wise ass opinion to the Off-topic thread..


Why the fuck would I take it to the off topic thread?

All I see nowadays is threads related to longjumping and tbh, it' pisses me off, and I will tell you my opinion if I want to, and if you dont like, gtfo, I couldn't care less.

lalevUl01/01/2008 21:49

Mehz...
If your so pissed about longjump threads.. do something about it. haha you say I should gtfo if i dont like your opinion.. you should gtfo if dont like LJ threads, no one tells you to read every single one..

totaly agree.

the sync is important but dunno about it... I should say that the topspeed youre getting is not your average speed. While strafing you loose and gain speed, here is an example:
Fact or Fiction (Demo)
-> Details: 263.121 units (260) / 287.454 prestrafe / 340.849 topspeed
kulspruta (Demo)
-> Details: 263.004 units (260) / 286.130 prestrafe / 350.013 topspeed

Tafatt03/01/2008 20:51

Average speed doesn't really tell that much either because of what of the shape of the jump can vary. Bigger strafes get bigger speed but loses distance.

Spaniolu03/01/2008 22:35

Well i was long jumping a few days ago I saw that when you are ducking you don't have to press any other key. i mean you have to do the strafes and then press oly duck : nothing else. when i did the 252 stats with 333 speed..... i pressed A when i was ducking and that was slowing me (I think). I dont know... :(
