Quake 3 Tricking: Blue half-beat at w3spgaz_strafes

[teooo]

Ok, thnx for the response :)

I'm probably not even going to attempt it

[ElementOfC]

@teooo FWIW, XunderBIRD said to me it wasn't worth attempting because it's simply a bot lane. Just as the center lane is the maximum possible strafe, the blue lane is the maximum possible strafe without ramping/stepup (and a tweaked first jump). So it expects the same accel efficiency on every pad, making the start trivial and the end almost impossible, because bots don't fall off in efficiency at high speeds.

Wow... 672 2nd jump

Out of curiosity, how often do you make it to / past the 2nd pad?

[ElementOfC]

@teooo I hit the second pad nearly every time; it's not difficult compared to lanes like orange 2 bonus. You see high second pad speeds often because the first jump is long—red 2 cos cj at least. This strafe gets absolutely brutal at the end, though.

do you play online at all? :S q3df.org

@Q3Lithium Not competetively since Defrag became a cloying mess of cheats, deception, and bickering. The last time I was regularly playing online was when the 1.9 mousepotato servers first launched.
