What is an edgeshot?

[buttperson]

How do I do one?

[plep]

Its when you speedshot and edgebug at the same time, which is freakin hard to do. Basically you get as much speed as you would with a speedshot but with the angle of an edgebug.

[catfoosh]

I wouldn't consider it as a speedshot. If you can edgebug at a decent speed all you do is add a rocket

I would argue that doing that isn't an actual edgeshot. More of an edgebug with a rocket boost. Edgeshots are real, but people mistake edgebugs with rocket boosts for real edgeshots a lot of the time. Actual edgeshots are extremely hard to achieve

By the way, new vocab and you guys heard it here....a failed edgeshot will now be known as a EDGEBOOST!

EDGEBOOST!

I think you mean powerbounce.

oh don't even go there old timer. out with the old in with the new is what i say

[catfoosh]

Does hitting speedshot timing really do that much more though? Or is it just a slightly better edgeshot?

[plep]

edgebounce anyone?

(inb4 RNC tells me its impossible but who knows, might be sick)

To edgeshot, you basically need to think of it like you try to speedshot at the very edge of the platform, it's more or less the same timing.
I don't think there is like a special edgeshot that's extremely hard to do, most of my edgeshots had very similar speeds, and I believe what happens is edgebug first, then rocket right after. Obviously I might be wrong tho.
The main thing about it is you get way more horizontal speed (1 edgeshot after a ctap can put you @ over 1100 u/s -> link), which is usually more useful than vertical. Also you can edgeshot on platforms covered with trigger_teleports, helpful with beating some demo maps as solly.

Yes, there is a noticeable difference between the two...I'm not sure which map it is but if you get an edgeboost you won't make the jump, if you edgeshot you will make it.

Edgebounces should be possible.

I do know that edgebuging at bounce height causes a rather weird interaction. You will take fall damage and it looks like horiz velocity gets set to the classes max vel but I haven't really done any work looking into this sort of thing.

Edgebugging is all about being on and off a surface over the course of 1 tick, to the best of my knowledge. So when you go from bounce height you land on the surface during the beginning of a tick, making it impossible to bug.

This would be correct if your horizontal velocity was immediately set to 0, which doesn't happen. Walking speed for a soldier is 3.6 u/tick so a soldier could edgebug on the last 3.6 units of a platform. And at bounce heights you never actually touch the ground you always end up 1.xxx units above it.

In all reality an Edgebounce would look just like a normal bounce, but may have a larger window.

I only say this because I've made a jump that utilizes auto-edgebugging stairs, and I find that sometimes i'll land on them, take fall damage, and be reset to 240u/s. Which shouldn't happen with an edgebug. I'll have to test edgebugs at bounce height to see if that is the reason.

edit: it's worth noting that when this happens, I still don't get teleported despite there being a 1hu high teleporter above the stairs.
