Jump Help / Re: Speedshot help
« on: September 19, 2013, 03:56:54 PM »So, how does the angle/timing of speedshots change as you have more momentum, or approach the floor at a higher/lower angle? Or does it change it all, and it's always "shoot straight down just as you hit the ground"? Also, how frame perfect of a trick speedshots are? As in how much there is room to mess up but still get a successful speedshot?I'm decent at speedshots/speed pogo and I can give you a few tips to help you be a little bit better at it. First, you want to be approaching at the shallowest angle possible; avoid dropping straight down if you can. The faster you are going, the more you need to look up and the earlier you need to shoot but generally you want to shoot where you are going to land before you've landed there (if that makes any sense). The reason why looking straight down just as you are going to land doesn't work is because of your forward momentum. By the time the rocket you just shot perpendicular to the ground reaches the ground, you would have flown well past it, and this effect is more noticeable the faster you are moving.
Jump 17 of jump_sexydev inspired to create this thread as it can be very troublesome to me at times. I'm very inconsistent with it, and not sure why. This is where my initial questions come relevant. There's quite a bit of momentum going on, and I can't seem to figure if I should adjust to it by shooting a little earlier or something.
edited bonus question: does flicking your mouse up right after a speedshot have any effect on your momentum?
Remember to be always holding crouch and don't subconsciously let go of the crouch button, otherwise you will mess up your jumps. Assign the crouch button to a key that is more comfortable to you if you need to.
