i've been bhopping for a while now and its hard to progress very far when im on this shitty laptop with choppy fps... but anyway i've noticed that in my Kz'ing that being able to long jump really helps you be a lot more consistent in NOT falling lol. I've been trying for the longest time it feels like atleast a few weeks.. and I just cant seem to break 240 more then once or twice in a whole day. I think i've broke 240 5 times total now. I copied a few stats over from consecuTive jumps and u'll notice i just do a bunch of crappy strafes put together. my pre is usually decent .. 270+ on a good jump but I just cant get my max speed over 300.. i know if i had it over 300 i would jump 240 easily.. my strafes dont pikc up speed i guess? my strafes just dont seem to pick up speed.. I dont get it.

What is there to work on... I think i should definitely try to get better strafes but only 5 strafe it .. maybe even 4 strafe first, but get good ones any help

First of all, if you have bad fps you can't longjump as good (I go from doing 251 & 252 to getting 247 max with bad fps). Second, you can make 240+ easily with 4 strafes and its much more simple. So try 4 strafes instead.

The slower your strafes, the easier it is to sync, imo. So do less strafes and make them fairly wide. Also, try to use the /speed plugin, to jump when you have a better prestrafe speed.

I can feel when i get a nice jump .. the speed feels a lot different... i know im going farther.. I NEED THAT MAX SPEED UP.. wtf.. crappy strafing i guess..

and I cant do anything less then 5 strafes... it feels weird

OKAY ... so th1ef helped me out.. and we figured out my prestrafe was TERRIBLe!!!! I just used W and angled my body .. but he showed me using W+D and i've hit 241 twice in like 7 jumps... just need to practice this

yep...4 strafes are enough for you and try better synchronize mouse movements with pressing A and D

You ALWAYS do 4 strafes :S cant get a good lj with more strafes :P jumped 249 block with 4 strafes :p

Mr.Eiht31/12/2007 14:10

maybe you duck too early ,
if you duck at the very end of the jump this will help too.
Go to 220units at look how late you can duck and still make the jump!

first jump of the day my new pre makes the difference :)

Ewoud31/12/2007 18:49

start with 1 strafe , cos ur pre is bad too.
then 2 etc 240
3 ---> 240+
4 ---> 245+
5+ ---> 250
DONT DO 6 AS SOON AS YOU START KZ
AND BOOM U PWNZ (for ljs that is, nab)

Consistently?

eMTi01/01/2008 12:53

i got better using the showkeys plugin + watching my own demos (with showkeys)

to give you an example:
www.todome.de/demos/249_lj_emti.rar

you can see that i always move my mouse a little too late.
when you know what your mistake is, you can fix it =)

Nekso02/01/2008 17:59

Agree on eMTi,
its a great way to learn your mistakes and work on them

hybrid02/01/2008 18:21(edited 02/01/2008 18:22)

eMTi: it seems ur moving ur mouse a little to late cuz of the delay of the showkeys plugin .

eMTi02/01/2008 19:30

recorded on local server...
maybe ur right hybrid, but if my sync was better it should be more than 251, right?

id really like to see that kind of demo by Bibo or some other guys that can pull of 252+ ^^

What's the full mark of Sync? 100? mine is poor...

eMTi11/01/2008 11:56

dont care too much about stats..
why dont you record a demo?
i'll take a look at it :)

SchlumPF11/01/2008 14:07

emti just watch my ljdemo (252 5 or 6 strfaes dunno). did it with showkeys ;D

Judah11/01/2008 14:11

eMTi11/01/2008 14:24
