Whirlwind "Torii Hurricane"
I've been testing a 7 rocket sync (done in the usual quint-syncing style) that I made in Hammer, but it seems to me that I can't go any higher than what I would get with a quint, I figured it might be a velocity cap, but then again, a quint compared to a 7-rocket sync on a ramp gets a lot less distance and height.

Am I just jumping terribly or is there some source engine physics shit going on?

IIRC There's a 3500 u/s cap for player speed in every axis, so vertically your max speed is actually 3500 u/s, which you can get with like 6 rocket sync, or even 5, not sure. But, you can get a much higher total speed, if you use rockets to get both vertical, and horizontal speed. The speed cap then is slightly less than 4950 u/s total, and ~6060 u/s if you go diagonally

If a solid quint maxes out your z velocity, then why is there water on the quint on baqu last?

iirc there is a velocity cap. Without it, you hit the skybox on trix with a perfect 7 rocket sync.

As I said, not sure if you'll max out with a solid quint, but even if you did, water is probably there so you get a consistent 3500 u/s, so the jump is not about getting a really good quint AND a triple ceiling sync, but only about getting a triple ceiling sync.

Thats just so you get 3500 u/s consistently without needing a perfect sync. Shouldve just been a quad+water though tbh.

Edit: How did I not see 11s post and yes, you get 3500 u/s with just a quint.

Just call me trey
Do what 11 said, go horizontally as well as vertically
