ah i missed one jump on my video

what if you speedshot off spire instead of skipping?

Providing you'd hit it, you'd clear the ramp and probably land just past the rock.

Would be waaaaay more challenging, and I think you'd probably end up overshooting choke which means you'd land on your health pack rather than theirs.

Easy deny of their demo if he goes sewers then

you would probably land around your rock and not your healthpack , it wouldn't be very fast either (certainly not as fast as the normal skip rollout)

If you hit the speedshot on spire and then another speedshot as you land on middle, you could probably go to the small HP by their sewers. I always do this second speedshot when I am rolling out of forward spawn (after getting mid), so I assume you could do it on the rollout to mid if you practiced it enough.

Pretty cool if you could do both reliably to really fuck up their demo.

Excluding maybe a few of the top jumpers, I've never seen anyone able to consistently pull of speedshots.

process has the best rollouts
more maps need to be designed like that

funny cause the map was not designed at all with those rollouts in mind

Happy accident.

I can consistently pull speedshots off and I'm no great jumper, they take like a week or so of practice to learn to do well.

Speedshots are heavily effected by ping, so when you're switching servers several times a day, it's almost entirely luck. Unless you've had enough time to adapt to the delay, you're probably not going to be consistent enough to make the rollout worth it. Also, it's not a matter of just hitting the speedshot. You've got to hit it perfectly, or you'll get too much horizontal momentum to clear the crates. We're talking like, within a few pixels.

Best case scenario is you'd land by the enemy pill, but that's a pretty crappy place to be since the demo will call you out.

can someone refresh my mind on what a speedshot is, i've done them in jump maps before for sure but i just forget what exactly they entail.

Hitting the ground at the same time as your rocket, which lets you fly pretty damn far.

i think otherwise known as skipping

i thought skipping was synonymous with pogos, where you don't touch the ground at all

I'm not talking about hitting that exact shot, I'm talking about hitting a speedshots overall, usually there isn't a difference between 70-40 ping, that's what I usually play on.

So I bombed what a speed shot was. I felt like this was better to show.

In the video, like I said before the edit, you should be able to get to garbage.

You can do

You can do the rollout a little faster by jumping off the spawn door wall rather than walking to the girder.

Hardest part of this is the edgebug, which makes it possible to hit the next speedshots that send you into the enemies second. I have tried so many times without getting it :(

#28 how the hell did you manage to embed the main home page inside your quote lmao.

Also, I'm really inconsistent with the "fast rollout" as roamer. Any tips on hitting that jump at choke?

Try to go low out on 2nd, where you jump off the point ledge but don't be too low because you'll fly over choke ramp. First maybe try just doing the rollout up to choke, without jumping out of the slide. If after skip you land on choke ramp and slide across it then you're doing it right, practice that and when you'll be confident you'll hit that try jumping out of choke from the slide.

Wtf sneaky
