Rocket Jumping with The Original Launcher

[ys]

Hey guys.

I used to play on a lot of jump servers a few years back, and i remember that i enjoyed using the original a lot. Although, I've read in a couple forums that The Original is not good for rocket jumping, and then again, I've heard that it's great for rocket jumping.

So I'm sort of mixed on this. I've just started rocket jumping again, and a lot is coming back to me. I have yet to try The Original again though. I know the only difference is that the projectiles come from the center of your screen rather than from the side of your right shoulder.

Now I'd like to know your opinions on this. I used to have a Strange Original that i ended up selling when i quit tf2. However, I'm debating on getting one again, though the price is a little expensive. I like to jump a lot, so what do you guys think about The Original and how it can effect your jumping?

It's just as good. Helpless_Soldier uses it and hes really good. I think you're limited on some ctaps and your wallpogos will be a bit slower but other than that I think it's pretty much the same. You can probably left wall easier with it also.

Jumping with the original is different because you aim differently. However, differently =/= inferior so the original is fine. Helpless_Soldier and ofey are really good original jumpers so if you need help you could always ask them.

It can take a little while to get used to.

I learned everything with stock first, then I re-learned with the original in which I have been using for around 4 months now.

I am struggling to wallpogo with the original quite a bit. Does it really limit ctapping though?

What do you mean?

Can't walk right and ctap as high (left if you have left sided viewmodels)...unless walking forward is the same thing for the original...idk just add Helpless and ask or something

I'll hop in here instead of creating another thread. (which would be pointless)
Here's my question: How are you meant to climb with the Original? Everytime I try to stay on the wall I just bounce off it. (Same thing with the Stock Rocket Launcher)

not really sure. it isnt that much different...just aim a lil lower and hold w. idk
