Finally completed my first medium: the blue course of annex_v5. About 75% luck and 25% chance.

Reason I ask is because I heard a couple people saying JuJump is where the beginners go and the better jumpers go to jump, but I feel like it's not that simple. What's the difference?

Yeah, my update rate is 100 as well as my cmdrate. That's a good idea Tordana. Is there any map you can think of off the bat that just has a huge wall I could use to practice?

Thanks to both of you for the responses! I've recorded a short demo on ayers2_a8 to give you a general idea of where I'm at. It's about 5 minutes long. If you guys have any maps that you want to see me do, please tell me.

Torii, I'll definitely try to be conscious, I think you're right that I just do it without thinking about it. I get discouraged pretty quickly too because of how easy Aurora and Raiin etc. make it look

I guess I feel like I've been practicing for quite some time, derdotte, that's why I'm discouraged. I feel like I should be consistent by now, but instead I can't land more than a few speedshots or skips and can't sync etc.

Jump Help / I've Plateaued

« on: September 14, 2013, 08:37:10 AM »

I've been rocket jumping for about a year and a half now. I've got all the basics down and am trying to get better. A friend of mine showed me [this](http://forums.tf2jump.com/index.php/topic,2201.0.html) jump map page that puts all of the current jump maps into "Beginner", "Easy", "Medium", etc. categories, and I've been going through some of them to improve. Unfortunately, in the last couple months I feel like I've hit a plateau. I know the concepts of most rocket jumps, but for some reason I can't execute them consistently. I've known about and done syncing for over a year, yet I still will only time them right 10% of the time. I can barely pogo at all, Muselk's challenges that he posted on here looked like a lot of fun but I can't pogo through even 1/3 of Upward. Wall jumping is especially difficult for me, I can never go very far or fast with them. To put all that in perspective, I completed jump_adventure a few weeks ago, which is under the "Easy" heading on that site. Watching people do jumps on TF2RJWeekly is really awesome to watch, but when I go out and try, I fail miserably and it's very discouraging.

Is there something someone can suggest for me to do for help? Rocket jumping is one of the most fun things to me in this game, so I really want to get better. If anyone wants the particulars of how I strafe during wall jumps etc., just post below and I'll respond.

I can also record a demo and send that to you if you'd like to see me jump.

TL;DR - I have hit a plateau in my rocket jumping and can't get better, what can I do?
