THANK YOU FOR THIS. As a noob after watching multiple videos and reading threads on the topic, mostly cluttered with arguments on the 'why' these mechanics happens as opposed to the 'how' of them, its REALLY appreciated to see a expansive but clean demonstration of the various tech. This serves as a really helpful foundation when looking at other resources that dig into the minutiae of it, where I would otherwise be completely lost. The beat picture was also helpful to clarify and so were the comments about changing your left/right direction during strafe jumping only being relevant to maintaining the correct course. From a practical standpoint I'm guessing it would be good to grind a full-beat diagonal(or straight) strafe into muscle memory followed by learning how to half-beat? I'm not really sure why half-beating is good to learn for your average player but I see people recommending it so... While I think I have an ok idea on Circle Jumping and changing directions while minimizing speed loss/restarting jumps, its something that could benefit from clear demonstrations like this video. Regardless, thanks for making this and great jumping.

@GroinMischief 5 жыл бұрын

I think the most practical standpoint is to think of strafe jumping as utility comparable to running on the floor. When you're running on the floor, you generally want to have a good feel to how you can run sideways, diagonally and backwards. If you can't run on the floor with WASD to every direction naturally, then you're going to have a really bad time with any first person shooter. It might sound like a common intuitive skill, but I know a lot of non-gamers who have a really hard time grasping the idea. It's the same for strafe jumping and Quake. In theory it's possible strafe jump while doing constant 360 spinning with the mouse, but it's hard even for me lol: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntOWfc1eu97PqmQ.html Half beat is convenient because you get to gain speed and maintain the correct course with minimal mouse movement.

@bshthrasher 6 жыл бұрын

please, do not confuse the viewers: 1st - double beat, switch side every 2 jumps 2nd - inverted strafing, without the forward key, switching side every jump 3rd - half-beat, switching between one normal strafe and one inverted fullbeat is just regular strafing when you switch side every jump just like a pendulum, not included in this video

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

My angle is that there is no regular style, because "inverted" and "regular" are equally efficient styles and there's no technical reason to be preferring one or the other. I've come across many newcomers that are more at home with the inverted style because it's similar to A/D hopping in source games. When you're teaching strafe jumping like this, the terms "regular" and "inverted" become pointless.

@bshthrasher 6 жыл бұрын

GroinMischief, regular means what most quake players use. Inverted and half-beat are actually more efficient because you don't need to move your mouse that much between acceleration zones.

@bshthrasher 6 жыл бұрын

Lam, in music it's called halftime when you cut the bpm in half. =)

@bshthrasher 6 жыл бұрын

So, in strafejumping 'beat' is the move from one side to another. As in pendulum beat. Fullbeat - 1 full beat in 1 jump Double beat - 1 beat in 2 jumps Half-beat - using only 1 half of a beat Inverted - using the strafe key which is opposite to the direction of your look Thus inverted double beat means you do inverted strafing with 2 jumps per beat.

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

Switch timing is pretty much arbitrary in strafe jumping, you don't for example have to switch sides every time you jump. You can in fact switch the side whenever you please, even wiggle side-to-side constantly if you can. So it makes no sense to categorize these techniques based on how many jumps or "switch sides" are in between the beats and such like. Unless such consistency is where the terms themselves come from, in which case I would drop the beat terminology altogether in favor of a more basic terminology, that describes strafe jumping specifically and not some arbitrary routine.

@noble64890 4 жыл бұрын

Full beat straight seems to be the much more intuitive way for players new to QC, reason is that they tend to have their crosshairs pinned in the middle to wherever they walk to since the muscle memory tells them to always keep ready to fire on other fps shooter

Could you make a tutorial at how to control jumping around different corners. Are there thechniques with wich you can go really tight around corners without losing speed?

@orcjmr 6 жыл бұрын

Traditional strafejumping math does not allow for tight turns (or actually any turns, if you discount the slow sideways drift). To turn with maximum efficiency you either use a different math model (Anarki/Sorlag or Slash), or do the following (forgot the fancy old name): land at a corner, and instead of jumping immediately, run for a meter or so. This way you gain ground acceleration, allowing you to turn, but incur ground drag, losing speed. If you make a short enough run, you won't lose _all_ your extra speed.

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

One way to make tight turns without losing ALL speed is to delay the jump and then make a quick redirection on the floor. The friction in QC is not instant, so you don't instantly lose it all. You will however most of the time lose most of your speed anyway, but this is still faster than stopping and making a new circle jump at every turn. Some people call this technique "jump pivoting" and others simply "jump delay".

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

Anarki has THREE different movement behaviors and it boils down to 2-3 air movement variables. I can't link anything on youtube for some reason, but you can look for a video from my channel titled "Changing Q3 air movement to Q1 air movement". The Q1 movement uses variables "air accel 106" and "max air speed 30" - which is pretty much exactly like how CS movement is and that's closer to how Anarki's left/right is assigned. However, every other movement direction has Q3 like setup with "air accel 1" and "max air speed 320".. with the exception of forward/back, which have a third variable called "air control" added on top of the Q3 setup. So, no. You will never bhop sideways with Anarki. But you can join the club and demand them to make a champion with Q1 type movement!

First of all thanks for the video. You have some fantastic strafe jumping skills. I see you reach speeds of 830 with Visor. I tried my best and all I could reach was 730 on the same path in BloodCovenant. I heard they nerfed Visor's speed later on . I would like to know if it's my technique or just that Visor being nerfed. If you are still playing QC, could you check and tell me if you can still reach that 830 and above with Visor on Blood Covenant. Thanks in advance

@GroinMischief 5 жыл бұрын

In Quake 3/Live and QC physics, there's a speed normalization bug that lowers the maximum acceleration value whenever jump key is being held down, the logic in that is that jump counts as a movement direction and the upwards direction drags the horizontal acceleration down. So, if your strafing is decent but you still can't reach 800 mark, then you're probably using the autohop and holding jump. Here's a side by side comparison of tap vs hold: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e62Wpaim372aYJs.html The key in minimizing this speed reduction is holding jump down as little as possible. You don't have to time the jumps frame perfectly, just hold it as little as you can. EDIT: Visor has indeed been nerfed ever so slightly, but it's still possible to reach at least 850 ups on that same path.

Are these new from Quake Champion or do these techniques already exist in Q3A?

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

They've existed ever since Q2 and Q1. Q1 is bit different though because of it's differences in airacceleration and maxairspeed. The point is that the "aircontrol" so to speak, is equal to all movement directions. Which means the term "strafe jumping" is stupid, because it implies that you have to "strafe" while doing it, while in fact turning is all that matters.

@GroinMischief 5 жыл бұрын

No, the speed is generated when your character turns in the air. Mouse and movement keys are the method of turning. You asked in another comment why my mouse isn't moving as much: The reason is because every movement direction (theres 8 of them) requires a certain view angle with the mouse to get into the optimal turning position. For example, left and right are on the opposite ends of each other.. but upward-right and left are closer to one another - so when I switch view angles the mouse movement across that gap is much shorter.

Strafing is not the intrinsic part of strafe jumping and has never been in any Quake. It's always been about the curvature in air. You gain speed because you're constantly changing vectors by doing so and every new vector adds 1 ups of speed as long as that vector doesn't go in an opposite direction of your current heading.

@GroinMischief 5 жыл бұрын

Do you mean, how to go through walls? Every time you jump theres a time window of 200ms during which you wont be stopped by walls. So if during that time you come in contact with a wall and slide off of it, you'll continue with your speed as if nothing happened. This doesn't mean you literally go through walls, you just simply slide by them without speed loss. You might find some Quake Live tutorials for it, there are several ways people call it: Wall/corner skimming/clipping. I remember seeing one for QC, but I cant find it with those search words.

Short explanation: Cancer. Longer explanation: A combination of three different movement behaviors, Q3-like for diagonal directions, Q1/source-like for left/right and linear for forward/back. Here's an image to depict the "controls": i.imgur.com/pCX1eop.png The way that this movement system fails in my opinion is that you essentially have two movement behaviors that both work for the same directions and then lack the sideways equivalent of it. You can't for example bunnyhop sideways with neither Anarki or Sorlag. The difference between the two are simple nuances, such as ground speed, maxairspeed and rate of acceleration. Sorlag also can apparently gain speed by going in a straight line, but I'm not sure.

basically, you start in a circle jump to build up speed, once you gained momentun only use strafing keys (no +forward needed) and mouse motion to control your path. as you do this your speed increases until the speed cap is hit. same works backwards.

RoliTheOne here (this is my gaming channel). Slash is different again. She moves like a regular champion, including strafe jumping and so on. But as you say she can preform crouch slides. After a jump or generally whenever you are in the air, shortly before hitting the ground hold down crouch, this begins your crouch slide. Together with crouch hold either forward+left strafe or forward+right strafe. While doing this also gently move your mouse to the left, or to the right. It is somewhat similar to the strafejumping, but somehow very different haha. One crouch slide doesn't get you very far mostly, so before one slide ends just jump and do the same thing again. Combining movement with wasd, you can then move in all directions, in theory.

Just... how??

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

Simpler way to think of it is that you simply gain speed if you curve in air. Curved movement is faster than straight movement.

I don't understand how you're still gaining speed without holding forward, as long as I stop pressing forward my speed goes down...

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

Strafe jumping is basically rotating around a center point in a very large circle. The center point is always somewhere in the general direction of the movement key(s) that you press. When you hold forward+left/right, the center point is at upward diagonal directions. When you hold left/right only, the center point is towards your left/right. If you held forward only, the center point would be directly in front of you.

Makes sense in theory, but I have still never been able to gain speed holding L/R only unless it's PQL/etc physics

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

PQL/etc is the same thing, but there you have more air control and with that the optimal circles are much smaller in radius. To gain speed with L/R in vQ3 - you have to make much slower turns, demonstration is in the video. PQL/etc movement is also bit different in general, there's a total of three different movement behaviors and you can't for example bunnyhop sideways. Here's a picture to depict PQL movement if it makes sense: i.imgur.com/pCX1eop.png So not all 8 directions are equal in PQL/etc, but they are in vQ3 and Quake 1.

it's fascinating that it still works tho, considering it's not pure id tech but rather bastard mix of tech and sabre... which shows it's weakness in other fields like netcode or performance

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

Movement code is arguably entirely copy pasted from previous Quakes, because even some bugs are the same. For example, when you hold jump you accelerate slower. That is due to a hardcoded controller support code, which counts jump as a coordinate and then rounds up your "wishspeed" wrong.

No 360 strafing included :( Like first forward, then sideways, backwards, sideways the other side and then back forwards :D Like keys WD + WD + AS + AS where you turn to the 90 degrees to the left after each turn Or AW + SD + SD + AW, also 90deg to the left Same works to the right just mirror everything =] #wasteyourtime

Using all of the 8 movement directions would result in a lot smoother spin than just 4 movement directions. I mention at the end of my video that any other technique is either a sideways/backwards/mix of any of these styles. 360 is one of such techniques.

@Huqe 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah I thought about all 8 directions being a possibility but I couldn't wrap my head around how that goes

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah it's bit confusing to get used to. Basically instead of switching from W/D to A/S with an instantaneous 90 degree flick, you mediate the interval with W only for example. I tried it here, but it's still lacking in efficiency a lot: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntOWfc1eu97PqmQ.html

Holy shit that's sick. But how can you do that by only moving your mouse in one direction? One would think you'd crash on that wall for only strafing to one side (like when ignoring the view angle)

@GroinMischief 6 жыл бұрын

It stops being "only one direction" when you change movement keys. It's kinda weird to explain. Just give backwards strafe jumping a try, you'll notice that the mouse movement is always reverse to the direction you turn, correct? So when you move your mouse right and hold W+D, your dude will be steering right physically. But if you flip your view angle 180 and switch keys to S+A, what happens is that you'll start steering left physically instead while still moving the mouse right.

Their is no limit to what speed you can gain if you strafe and curl mouse perfectly in rapid succession.

If we ever get Defrag workshop maps or something like that, Visor will be only viable char for competition and you can wave CPM defrag goodbye, unless they let you mod, which I really doubt. Honestly I hate how they mixed every movement in one game. I hate anarki with passion. It's like escaping those lame QL Vamp turbo servers to find this shit back in your face without an option now.

@Jay_Sullivan 6 жыл бұрын

Umm, people will continue to play Q3's defrag mod, and champions with air-control will be very useful on some race maps. Plus, it's genius that they basically added every QUAKE game's movement style into one QUAKE game; it's already bridged the communities a bit and the game is still in beta.

@GroinMischief 5 жыл бұрын

They don't have Quake1/Quakeworld or Quake 2 movement though. I could also go on about how lackluster the CPM and Q4 replications are, with essential ground behaviors regarding ramps and ledges missing completely.

@Jay_Sullivan 5 жыл бұрын

Technically, Anarki and Sorlag seem to be PQL. I've never played Q2's or Q4's multiplayer on PC. While I would love to have the multi-jumps and ramp-jumps and such, the movements in Q1 and CPM are close enough to what QC can represent(albeit, more complex), and Q4 looks close enough to what QC has. I hope they do introduce a champion that has a more difficult movement like CPM, though. You have to consider that they are trying to make this game as popular and accessible as possible while maintaining a huge skill-ceiling and allowing every champion to play together on the same maps. I think they're doing a great job. If they open up the physics as part of custom servers' customization, you might be able to do some very interesting things.
