Jump Help / Is it a waste of time using The Original while learning to jump?
« on: August 14, 2013, 11:31:20 PM »
I understand that there is a preference for stock.
I personally really like the center fire the original has for non-jumping stuff and also knowing exactly where my rocket is and its trajectory at any given time. It just seems a bit mentally simpler to me i guess.
Im at the point where id really like to be able to finish something other than baby maps in a reasonable amount of time and i just want to be sure my practice is actually helpful. Consistency is a huge issue for me and i feel like switching between stock and the original is not only slowing down my shitty pace even more but may be making me worse with the other launcher. (for example, just starting to 'get' very simple downpogos with stock then doing maps with the original the next day)
I find that im generally very bad with larger wrist(or arm? whichever its supposed to be) movements, so i figured the original could even help that issue by forcing me to go further than normal. Starting upward horizontal jumps off the ground feels almost like its permanently mechanically gimped using the original and im not sure if i should be using S to start the jump or not. I recently was using it on the last jump of annex blue, which i cant just blast through without any effort normally either, but was failing miserably to even start the skip properly.
I been using 6.5 inches per 360 for a while now(which is more than whatever i started out using), lower might be more comfortable but the precision of my aim is already horrendous. I would have thought i'd have gotten better arm/wrist movement by now, but i still find myself sliding my mouse way over before certain strafes or even occasionally picking up the mouse during a jump. Ive tried greater inches per 360 but my mouse stops tracking when i do faster sweeping motions.
Is it dumb for me to be using the original. Assuming using the original to learn and jump in general is fine i can chug along with some extra hiccups, cause i do like it more, but if its just mechanically inferior ill switch back to stock because getting better is more important. Thanks for any input.
