Jump Help / Re: [Question] Pogo into Wallclimb

Thanks for the advice guys.
derdotte, I HAVE seen that video many times but I guess I've always been distracted  or just skimmed through it because I never noticed that was in there, haha.
Also, never knew a dropogo was as hard as you said. Since it needs to be used twice in jump_adventure, I assumed it was a beginner technique. I'll be sure to follow your advice and re-watch the video.
and BQE, okay thanks. I'll try doing that c:

If you're getting propelled away from the wall you want to climb, you're aiming too high. The method you describe seems right although you did not mention holding 'W' to stay close to the wall (which you need to do additionally to tapping 'D'). To get the right aiming angle the best thing to do would be to watch other people do it in first person I guess.

The thing about going into pogo from a higher platform is pretty much just practice. On some maps you will need just one rocket to get down, on some two or even more. If its not too high and one rocket is sufficient, the angle shouldn't be too important compared to the timing, but similar to the angle for climbing.

The higher the starting platform is however, the more you have to do a "real" wallpogo, and climbing down a wall is a tough skill to master and takes lots and lots of practice.

Thanks alot, Henchman! I'll try and get into a JuJump/Jump iT server and spec someone with !skeys. And thanks for telling me that the higher platform pogo is just practice. Off to the Jump servers I go!

And @Kairu, haha okay. Thanks for letting me know that it's even better practice to mix jumping with Bball and DM servers. Nice to know I wasn't wasting my time in those servers

Jump Help / [Question] Pogo into Wallclimb

Hi, I'm Momo.
I've been a casual jumper for a while. Doing a jump map or two once in a blue moon. I've gained some interest in becoming a roamer in 6v6 and one of my coaches had said jump maps would help much more than Bball (one of my favourite pastimes).

I've started doing some more beginner maps (like Adventure, Beef and Rush) but occasionally I'll try something a bit harder. So I went to jump_quba. On the sixth or so stage for the 1st level, you have to pogo across the floor and then climb the wall. My question is: how? People have told me in various jump servers that I need to aim my crosshair a bit to the left (since the launcher fires from the right), look up a bit and tap "d" (or right strafe) every time I shoot. I tried this for about 45 minutes straight yesterday but I just couldn't climb that wall. It wasn't the first time I'd gotten stuck there. If I raise my crosshair to touch the wall, I'll just be propelled into the floor. Anyone have any tips?

Also, on several maps, you need to pogo across the floor however, the starting platform is very high up. I've heard from other jumpers (and seen from many videos) that you need to shoot a rocket against the wall before you can start pogoing. I get it randomly. Like once every 20 tries. Is there a certain angle you're supposed to shoot your rocket for these?

Or are all of these issues just a matter of "practice, practice, practice"?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
