Longjumping or normal Kreedz?
not sure what ur asking scary. whether ppl like longjumping in kz_longjumps only or longjumping in general vs climbing? or whether people like watching ljs in kz_longjumps or watching climbing wrs... ?:D

What more needs to be said? LJ is just a subset of kzing.
ljing is jus jumping from one block to another one as someone said before. climbing is fun, it cant be bored cuz there r always new tricks, new maps, its always exciting.
ofc its nice to see some good ljer geeking 250+ with every jump, but i dont find it as exciting as a pwnz demo of a nice bhop map or just a normal climb map.
so i guess its obivous, my chosen is CLIMBING FO SHO
I prefer KZ,well a lot of my friend enjoy practising the lj skills.Almost all of them can jump an status of 250,however,none of them can accomplish an big xtreme map called kz_kzsca_mineblock with checkpoints.
Well,I can do that within 35min with checkpoints,not a good rec but somehow better than those guys keep tormenting themselves as well as the mouse and keyboard,:D.
I am quite sure that doing a gj on a kz map or a lj map can both make you feel great.But the latter is not a good way to enjoy yourselves.I mean when many years have passed, you may consider that practising lj skills ONLY is totally a waste of time,while playing on kz maps can be thought like a magic trip on an unbelivable place.

That's very well spoken, dude ..
Kreedz. Only people are forgetting it. Since jumping got popular people stopped making maps with random techniques. What ended, thet evrybody forgot what are kz maps. Kz maps are (have to be) maps where you have to use random hl-engine bugs to finish it in the best time, but... Now there are only two types of maps: strafes & bhops. Did anyone ever seen a map where there is an eb or jb or sb in a normal way? - nope. Did anyone seen maps with 250unit jumps in normal way? - all of you did. So what's the result? - since kreedz got popular people forgot what kreedz is & what it has to be. :(

mountainpass is fucking kreedz only!
i think in cg_hitnrun you have to do an eb, right?

yup.
and LOL NumB, if you have to do a jb, that'll be waay to hard for most people.
i prefer finding trickjumps on default maps :D and of course climbing
Lj is good for me every man needs some geek )
climbing is interesting but it is hard for some to do it w/o cp and if I can't finish the map I 'll prefer to do some 250 block cause I know i will do it and it will be more pleasure than stuck in 1 place on a map and hate myself cause i cant make it :)
In real it is phylosofical question kz or lj
you cant say which one is better or get some statistic and votes If you say that lj geek is boorin you just dont understand another opinion and didn't feel senses of real ljing whitch are blow you up when you do some raw on high blocks it is fast and beautiful movings and if u do 250 stable you can do any map just need a time to geek it )
My choise is Lj and I think climbing is standing after LONGJUMPING but as some man say - different comunities can accept it or not
In real my firs map was kzfr_lj :D
and may be for others it was kz_giantbean :-)
How you start then you continiue same )

So, what you're actually saying (compressed into one sentence) is:
Originally posted by LOLLYIf you fail at kz, start ljing.
I agree with NumB about the last maps that have to many lj's and stuff, but eb and jb and stuff in a map is also crap, that's luck not skill imo. I hope the new maps will have good fast kz parts, maybe a few hops to keep it nicely and smooth.
OT: kz.
Since I did 250 block, I've got much more confidence (in longjumping), so I longjump quiet more than I used to.
So my list looks nice this: Kreedzing, longjumping, hns(hideandseek), trickjumping. However, the list of course can be mixed. Maybe I sometimes play more longjumping than I do kreedzing. Or more hideandseek etc. So it's kind of mixed up. But the list is just the standard :).
kz_kzfr_statueofliberty > all
i jumped for a long time and have since quit.... when i look back at it, the time spent LJing/CJing etc seems like a massive waste of time. the KZing was always fun though and i dont regret that. the people that practice LJ 24/7 are more caught up in trying to accomplish something than having fun.
Nice answer Sw1ft1!
I think you are right!
It's almost the same really. When you're trying to record some map, you mostly spend a lot of time to it. My first record, rpz_downfall[race] in 00:48, took me 4 hours to record. And that was fun?
Sometimes when I'm jumping new maps and I'm not trying to get a good time it might be fun.
From a neutral view, I think KZ is funnier when jumping it with your friends and comparing times etc. Of course LJ can be fun when playing it with your friends, but it's just geeking one jump, and when you get that jump done, then you're going to the next jump which is 1 unit further. It might be fun in the beginning but you will (should) grow tired of it when the jumps are getting very hard.
Also in KZ, there's 2 sweet things. You can try to make the best time, not to try to beat the hardest map only. That gives nice variety it since in LJ there's no matter how fast you are, just how hard the jump is.
Blah, I hope you understood something :(

those types of bugs (for example on gigablock) are huge unintended shortcuts. making maps takes a really long time, so the mapper doesnt want their map destroyed, or they might end up like Tommy. they arent used without shortcuts because a lot of it is luck whether you get it or not.
there arent any more maps that use those techniques because they were unintentional in the past. why do you think sucky redid desertblock and took out the big edgebug shortcut? to answer the question, i dont see how people can longjump for such a long time, and i perfer normal kreedz by a longshot. i dont feel that people have "forgotten what kreedz is" other than the load of people that can only longjump.
