Quake Live Strafing tips

[abepl]

SHPONGLE OMG  1st time ever i saw somebody used SHpongle in the Quake vid .... sespect :P

[ElegantArtz]

How do people constanty strafe jump? I usually build up too much momentum, and crash into a wall, so basically, i can only strafe in a straight line... Tips? thanks in advance..

[thenextorion]

It just looks fast because of your POV :)

[wHherald]

trippy music

[shwaaank]

Thumbs up for sphongle dmt

[kragle2008]

years of trickjumping lead me here... but in quake live strafing is essentially useless unless you are CTF, or just need to get away quickly... but even then you need to master the art of aiming whilst strafing! :-( If you practice more on WSW the strafing + aiming is essential and plays a huge role in the gameplay... infact you die if you dont lol :P from there you can put them skills to use in CA

[sobershock]

@bigmayorchandler just hold your forward key and keep jumping. just point your mouse in the direction you want to go in.

[Koseiku]

@sobershock Super protip. Also this dude asked this question 11 fucking months ago...

[WaJda97]

Good movie but this music is fucking shit

[abraxas604]

@WaJda97

u don know what is good for ur brain ^^ get shpongled ^^

[WaJda97]

@abraxas604 idiot.

[Rahshogen]

Shpongle divine moments of truth. nice!

[holwad9454]

Thanks for the vid, and.... I dont have a clue what to say about the music. XDD lmao

[rich1051414]

this helped me on a little momentum i was losing, as i didnt jerk the cursor enough before starting a jump in the other direction, thanks.

[DjOptics]

lsddd dmttt



[roflmaolz]

if anyone has played Wolfenstein: ET is the strafe jump in quake the same?

[GiantFuckinChannel]

@roflmaolz same engine, same strafing

[KingKoreSpeedcore]

Dude, that's ridiculous.

[BigWiseLabel]

guys the circlejumps in raztrainql have g_speed altered , please send me ur demo so we can download it to see it through the game and not the video m8 , im the best defragger in quake3 and quakelive , from what i see in ur video on raztrainql is absurd for n#8 and n#9 CJ , because it requires a twitch at the end for the CJ to work with firm twitching for stability and edge reach

[K0ragg]

damn u are good

[axxmrdrd]

Cool vid, but the music freaks me out

[TheGastro81]

by what drugs is this music influenced? cool as shit

[NWBE4ST]

dude im love spongle!

[polyesterteeandjim]

how do u jump like that!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[hcacker]

is it better to use mouse2 for jumping? i cant get used to it i always used space..

[Cypeq]

@hcacker rly depends on your preference but most of the time it is better to have it on mouse rly allows you to time jumps better with turning

[vamosareianara2]

cheat surely

[CrAzYBG96]

is there anywere u cant go ?!

[modeadsex123]

In the words of the announcer, holy fucking shit.

[greene865]

BEST SONG EVRRRRRR

[greene865]

ahhh quake how i hate you and love you at the same time



[MrMistery101]

you can smell the frustration....

[DoomTra1n]

@MrMistery101 :P On these kinds of platform tutorials. I'm not on it much longer than 10 minutes before I rage. And than when the time comes, I wish I had practiced more lol

[modeadsex123]

I have never been able to strafe jump that well, I can gain speed but I always see these videos with people jumping like 30-40 feet with every jump. Oh yeah, feel free to call me a noob but I don't know how to circle jump.

[omniscientantipathy]

@modeadsex123 I can't even strafe jump. If this is mind blowing for you, imagine what it's like for me.

[ZenOfEmotion]

they should make a platforming game based solely on quake 3 trick jumps and such.. you could have levels with different physics elements turned on/off.. or power ups.. overbounce etc... fuck, it would give mario a run for its money :D

[MadTranceSG]

@ZenOfEmotion DeFRaG is a good one. But I agree. A game like that made around trick jumping and strafe jumping would be great.

[voicefunny]

is this vid real time?

[TheProdigySupreme]

Awesome skils. Shpongle singing about DMT:))

[kaitje12345]

good explanation of the strafing concept. practice makes perfect.

though.... i was watching 15 seconds of this video when i lost track because of the music..

if you want people to pay attention to what you are doing, you might not want to use Shpongle the next time... xD (jk)

ggs

Hisshou

[truckcompany]

nice strafing.. would be good to see your speedometer.

[sanandreas741741]

HOW TO GET THIS MAP???

[KlubbinKlubba88]

If I could do all this I would be happy :|

[MrBlamemeforit]

Where do i find that map? :S I need to improve my strafing deeeud

[kwestlol]

Awesome music, godlike strafing

[mikkeyg44]

when you first started circle jumping i was like 'how does he do it so far in the first jump?' then i realised you must have a huge fov. do you use DeFrag to train?

[slothsrock21]

where is this map?

[BigMayorChandler]

Can someone explain to me how pro's strafe jump constantly around the map, once I start strafe jumping I build up too much momentum to change direction and eventually crash into a wall. So I can essentially only strafe jump in a straight line.

[FuneralFragz]

@BigMayorChandler

Everyone has to slow down for the hard turns.

Its a hesitation between jumps and utilizing good circle jumps to regain speed out of the turns. All things with time.

[RaikiriFujitsu]

@BigMayorChandler When you're strafing and want to change direction,stay on the ground for a larger period of time when you jump and then move your mouse to the direction you want to move.

[Cypeq]

@BigMayorChandler you just have to slow down sometimes that is all... like with driving a car u can't pass all turns on max speed.

[MrSiah33]

@BigMayorChandler same dude i started 5 days ago and i can do it but run into a wall eventually lolz rlly annoying

[DStreur]

@BigMayorChandler Most pro's don't even strafe much.. They just circle jump a lot!

[Brandon1123581321]

@BigMayorChandler You need to time your jumps a little slower after you get so fast that you cannot turn without losing momentum.

You will lose a little bit of speed, but that shouldnt stop you from getting it right back in a few seconds.

[iLOVEmyMUSICz]

@BigMayorChandler you don't need to change the direction of your strafe jump after every jump so when you know you have to turn you have to prepare to make it so you can do two rights for a right turn...

[AzNPhanta64]

@iLOVEmyMUSICz I'm sure he knows how to strafe jump correctly now since it's been 10 months...

[Tekunikaru]

You are good! Lovely vid, I learned something new :)

[Dawngaward0110]

If you want to learn how to strafe jump, you not only need to know how, but you also need to understand the mechanics of strafe jumping.

If you understand what you're doing, you will get a lot better results, and you'll be able to experiment what's best for you more easily.

Also, don't worry too much about not getting it right a couple of times. You'll be able to do circle jumps fast, but the rest can take some time.

Last, try to train strafe jumps in the heat of battle. That's how I learned. ^^

[Perfectioncss]

I find CPM Defrag more complex then vq3... and Plasma runs fuck that

[Rg1527]

The link to the strafe pad map is dead, how do i download ?

[iamshpongled]

fuck yeah! shpongle! my favorite band evar

[miksulder]

you cant do a shit without this



[chadymac]

shpongle (:

DMT dooo dmt

LSD doo DMT

[chadymac]

@chadymac Ohh sorry. and Great video. Been strafing for a while, but that map of yours is the one that got me tooo..... flyy.

[EternalHate255]

where do u go to get the training area u were in?

[greene865]

haha where did you get that strafe bot from?

[longvos]

god u go so fast :D

[DeadAmaranth]

I signed in just to comment on this (I rarely sign in). You do some awesome tricks in this video. Those backward strafes on beta3 almost made me fall out of my chair! I just started trying to learn how to strafe, and it does seem to all depend on the mouse skill. Thanks for the amazing video. Also frickin' insane track! I like psy and goa, and I've heard of --but never heard-- Shpongle. I shall fix that error RIGHT NOW.

[dairyduck]

you look like your skipping down a sidewalk O.O

[reddevil312612]

<3 dmt

[TopazSkillMauler]

What map is that

[TheJackson4eva]

Bet Quake live player ever?

[Yotunen]

wtf shpongle

[elfirrepins]

That is the most fascinating and fucked up music that I have ever heard.

[boredbyondblieve]

@elfirrepins

idd :| thumbs up!

[CoreyMichael123]

@elfirrepins you just said the defininition of shpongle.

[smiteGodLIke]

look like a hacker...

[spbalance]

@smiteGodLIke

Ignorant fool.

[plutoend99]

what is that map you are practicing on?

[LivingdeadMetal]

Once I got rail to bridge but I have never achieved b2r.

[littlemac85r]

It don't matter how fast you move, somebody can still shoot you.

[IIKeRsEyII]

@littlemac85r um...good movement and speed = map control and spawn/weapon/powerup/armor control.

[yomago93]

@littlemac85r This makes it very hard to shoot them if they are moving very fast.

[littlemac85r]

are there any great players that don't really strafe jump?.

[Jaza120quakelive]

@littlemac85r No.

[magic666z]

what about batons?

[KittenIgnition]

you should have used /cg_draw2d 0...

[trimbutt]

i just dont understand how you go so fast?! its like your using scout all the time!

[pulioCZE1]

pro

[veerdonk1]

..... i got the first line of pads :D, is there a reason ur running around with ur gauntlet?

[asdernr]

F*kin awesome music :D

nice movement btw

[killinshit100]

graphic problems much?

[frankc91]

wow... this is so hard. i wish i could strafe jump like this :(

[Nemo342]

lol i remember mah dad playing quake 3 years ago (he was a pr0) and he was jumpung so fast he did damage to himself by hitting a wall XD

[lmperia]

shpongle, nice

[christiaan81music]

/give haste ^^

[JonathanHewat]

how do you get onto the strafe jumping map with the pads????

[ThePonki]

nothing very impressive here

[skv1d]

What it is music?

[NestleistheBest]

Where do you play the map, on quake live?

[jemoederpuntnl]

Watch the description :).

[Kiritani77]

серьёзно...

[iGameiCheat]

that last capture pwned

[samko19966]

where to put this map in whcih folder??

[unKut1004]

4 winwdows vista and maybe seven : User/ Appdata/ idsoftware/ quakelive/ baseq3. So put the map in baseq3 and there u go

[bombeleczenieczek]

can somebody tell me where i can find this first map ?

[DazThePom]

3.39...........wow.

[Indigozek]

so.... pro...

[redzor812]

hehe just stumbled across your vid <3 quake :) you should check out nquake/quakeworld if you want to find some hard strafe jumping its probably the hardest since its so much faster. wish more friends played quake live :(

[mrpeanut25]

Pretty sure defrag has a HUD option that shows you the optimal strafe angle.

[m1ke905]

does anyone know if there is an HD mod or anything for quakelive that will enhance the textures?

[Serkix]

r_picmip 0

[XenonGrid]

Can you do the eighth hall??

[XenonGrid]

i love quake live. Excellent demo :] Nice music too, sphongle is very much awesome

[klappahunda]

massive attack!!!!!!!!!!

[imacuddlewhore]

HAXXXXXXX lol jks shit that insane good work

[greene865]

this video is so impressive it's depressing.... i can only pray that one day i'll be this good at strafing around maps

[jazzeatspie4500]

@greene865 this depresses me because the multiple jump thing doesnt work.

[spbalance]

@greene865

You will, no doubt. Just keep at it! As long as you're having fun along the way..

[greene865]

what song is this?

[MawcDrums]

Shpongle - Divine Moments of Truth

It's from their album Are You Shpongled?

You should get all of their albums. The latest is amazing

[littlemac85r]

Cant you still get shot though?

[drLazyEvil]

It's quake. You can always get shot.

[darkzaazaa]

watch?v=pINhaZMLjjY

[Argothman1]

How the hell do you change direction while strafing?

[JeffWaffles]

you don't. you stop, and start strafing again. You can gradually drift, but you can't just turn on a dime. it's about momentum.

[rustamusen]

what buttons are you using ??

[melonbandit]

how can you get in the training maps that you see in the beginning ?

[drLazyEvil]

go to quake live forums and find raztrain map (its beta3)

[Joschiii97]

könnte mir ein deutscher das nochmal erklären habs net richtig verstanden :D ?

[GameZX1992]

So wie ich das verstanden habe musst du mit dem Faden Kreuz die überliegenden Eck Kanten anvisieren und dann springen.

[dragonforce143]

how u do long jumps

[TekLok]

Why doesn't the map load on the mac version? I've done everything correctly. I noticed that that it had a different icon than the other maps though.

[MasterKenth]

different icon => different file format => wrong

[TekLok]

yeah except the file extensions are the same...

[xJohnDoughx]

set the file to read-only...ql deletes the map by default otherwise

[proSniper098]

Hey this will help out a lot, thanks

[jasperdj]

Very impressive, although al training maps have been replaced! Perhaps you can make a vid on that one? I also like your slowmotion vid!

[Shock0055]

it looks like your not even touching the platforms, and you go fast strafing O_o

[EVILsqushieBUNNY]

what screen recorder did you use, its really nice. please tell me ; )

[AmaRGeDDoN666]

Title song?

[Eldwinn]

DMT

[AdioChings]

and daaaaaamn :D i just got it!!! im so happy right now..... and i wonder how easy it is oO

[FloridaCarClubcom]

lol @ all the bitching noobs. Watch what he does closely and stop fucking whining.

[AdioChings]

yeah right =D

i watched this and other vids and now i almost got it complete ;-)

[3childj]

doesnt really give you any tips just a bit of showing off tbh

[PANrafau]

exactly.piece of shit.Steve gave real tutorial of strjmp.Its bullshit name of this vid.But u jump quite nice.

[drizzttheperfect]

so let me get this straight the first jump (the circle jump) is the most important jump because it will give you the acceleration you need?

[cadavernl]

Yes, the first jump (circle jump) gives you the most speed. Also, due to the many short staights in QL, it is also the most used one.

[fi7thy]

I'm hooked on this game, the only frustration i find with it is the competition, which is considerably higher than most games out there. There's so much more strategy to it than just "being accurate", i mean in what other FPS game do you need to work on improving your movement skills?

[TexZK]

Any id-based FPS needs movement skills :D

W§W is an excellent example.

[akaSova]

@fi7thy Unreal Tournament?

[detroitman21]

@fi7thy halo is about it

[pizzaman408]

@fi7thy i know dude same here i just started playing this game and its SOOO hard on clan war and other things to get killsits a very competitive game if any of u experts got some tips for me so i can improve my fragging that would be great

[heresjono]

@fi7thy CoD4? ( lol seems to be based on a version of the q3 engine)

[Fireblasto]

@fi7thy A couple others actually, fps+z Like tribes and Fallen empire:legions require you to do a process called 'skiing' but in terms of strafing, quake is unique.

[n3tfury]

that's some sick strafing.

[jamesb43]

So the band is Sphongle... what track is this? I have listened to a ton of samples on iTunes and Amazon and can't find it. I want to buy it.

[jamesb43]

Ok, the track is "Divine Moments of Truth" by Shpongle off the album "Are you Shpongled?"

[uzku]

impressive

[dannehbai]

hey, i thought when u strafe jumped u were meant to center ur mouse slowly as u jumped but u dont seem to do this? i cant seem to get the strafe jumping combo thing going either :(

[dannehbai]

also if ur aiming slightly to the left do u strafe left as u jump or strafe right towards center?

[CT2507]

great video! the backward jumping at 0:40 is awesome!

[ScottM2495]

whats that first map?

[johnnymanny3]

UR MUSIC CREEPZ ME OUT!!

[Wrim]

It's amazing how you Quake-people have taken a "flaw" and transformed it into an artform. Really impressive, when you think about it.

[CT2507]

wouldn't call it a flaw, but rather an unforeseen side effect of the physics engine... but i understand what u mean.

[saccerzd]

in what way? what were they trying to achieve by having the button combination/physics that allowed it, and why was it unforseen?

cheers

[CT2507]

i don't know what was in the programmers heads, but i suspect they went for the button combination to allow as much freedom of movement as possible. but i don't think they expected that you could do what the expert strafe jumpers are capable off.

if it had been intended they would have made it more simple to achieve for everyone.

so, they probably left it in as a bonus for those who have the dedication to learn it...since it doesn't spoil the game.

cheers

[uzku]

That's a big part of the game, not everyone moves the same way.

[emerl111]

S U B B I N G your vids totally helped me when i strafe in capture the flag im usually the main scorer add me dude emerl222 :)

[m4ms3f1n3]

Hum.. cool strafing.. but try it with oponnents :-D I cant jump almost everything you did but it is a little impossible with 5v5 ingame stress.. :-P But it is not why am I typin' this sh*t I just wanne ask you, how you did the powerups/weaps/ammo looks like they are ..
