Longjump: Questions and answers
12/11/2019 13:31It's been 4 years that I can't strafe anymore, it seems like my right strafe can't sync at all
Right pre (I can't even do 270 prestrafe) :
LJ Distance: 235.332382 Maxspeed: 287.302185 (25.972) Prestrafe: 261.329742 Strafes: 6 Sync: 37%
1 13.832 0.000 20.2 66
2 6.830 0.000 13.5 88
3 1.160 0.000 20.3 6
4 3.459 0.000 13.3 60
5 0.079 0.064 20.3 6
6 0.609 0.000 12.2 22
Left pre (the only pre where I can lj) :
LJ Distance: 249.258972 Maxspeed: 320.985839 (48.003) Prestrafe: 272.982788 Strafes: 7 Sync: 58%
1 13.274 0.000 14.9 100
2 9.779 0.219 20.2 36

4 4.784 0.000 18.7 25
5 6.115 0.000 14.0 75
6 6.067 0.000 15.6 20
7 0.000 0.593 5.3 50
Any idea how I could improve? I've been trying to lj right pre for 30 min here and there but I can't do a good prestrafe nor I can lj more than 250 at all. On my left pre it's better but still my right strafes are terrible :(

I had this problem a lot of times when I forced myself to do LJ and forgot to do basic thing.
You left your W key too early when you are suppose to.
Only way to fix this is practing LJ prestrafe with 1 strafe.
Try to geek 230-237 lj blocks just with 1 strafe after that 238-245 with 2 strafes and it would be fine :)
12/11/2019 22:03This happened to me when I changed my normal keyboard to a mechanical, I could fix my strafes by changing my mouse sensitivity so it would work fine with my keyboard, thats what worked for me

Your keypresses are really inconsistent. You're holding D too long compared to A on every strafe and on both pres. Also your mouse moves closer to the rhytm of your A thus your D syncs are terrible

I would suggest that u start shaping your strafes and visualize it, with a constant number of strafes.
This method used to stabilize my timing.
g-Lp or maybe this bug which affects moving left but not right as much.

Can anybody tell why so poor distance?
6 strafes and 21 airtime on first
27/11/2020 17:03Originally posted by Evis6 strafes and 21 airtime on first
what's optimal for this amount of strafes, 15% +-?
27/11/2020 18:17do 7strafes and the problem fixes itself
27/11/2020 18:22too wide strafes, and/or bugged stats probably cuz you hit the edge of block.
27/11/2020 22:46Is it true that you have to devide 100% by amount of strafes to get top value of required airtimes ? In 6 strafes case - 16.6%

If you are going for fully symmetrical and identical strafes then yes. However, is not necessary.
28/11/2020 11:25@Hardbitter 3's As others already mentioned, your airtimes are simply too big.
@fykseN For anyone jumping with 6-8 strafes I would recommend trying to keep airtimes within 12-15%
@SAJKEE As soniizin said, only if you're trying to do identical strafes. But this is in no way necessary for good distances.
Generally speaking the things that most affect your longjump distances can't even really be seen from the jumpstats. What you should focus on is your launch from prestrafe and the switches between strafes. These are the places where your distances suffer the most if you do mistakes.
