Jump Help / jump_half catch (and catches in general)

« on: August 14, 2013, 05:35:16 PM »

I've done one successful catch on a different map, but can't figure this one out.  I almost always get to the wall well before my catching rocket.  Is that supposed to happen? 

<edit>Another thing, how do I keep my catches from pushing me away from the wall?
</edit>

If someone could give me some pointers for this jump (perhaps even spec me or let me spec them?) I would really appreciate it.  I've spent too many hours on this jump to keep failing it.  ><

And in general, how do catches actually work?

Jump Help / wall jumping with low-ish ceilings

« on: June 23, 2013, 01:43:09 PM »

I can wall jump fine usually.  Maps like tholos and heavy I can do fine mostly.   But I'm failing pretty badly, embarrassingly, on torii's new map.  I spend a good 25 minutes just beating the first level each time, because the low ceiling kills my momentum.  How do you wall jump in these type of areas?  How do I prevent myself from gaining too much height?

Jump IT / JuJump iT / Please unban me from jumpit.

I got banned for trading.  Won't do it again, but there were two engineers blocking the entrance to the first jump.  I couldn't even get out of spawn.  Why is THAT allowed?  Why aren't THEY banned?

Jump Help / Pagoda Bridge

« on: February 10, 2013, 12:17:16 PM »

Can't seem to make the jump. I've seen it done both ways (single rocket, or speedshot) so I know how it's supposed to be done but I just can't seem to actually pull it off.  I've been able to come very close, missing the far ledge by inches, but have only actually done the jump once out of maybe 200+ attempts. 

Any tips/pointers for getting this one?  Or anyone want to spec me/let me spec them so I can make a better and more consistent attempt?

I can't quite get it fast enough.  By the time I land on the first platform and start to jump to the second, it's either A) too late and I get reset, or B) I fly off in a direction only kind of close to where I need to go.  Also, does the order you shoot the lights in matter?

Jump Help / Problems with consistency (in general, and speficially jump_beef #11)

« on: November 17, 2012, 02:08:17 PM »

I'm new to jumping, and after getting frustrated with jump servers' difficulty, was recommended a few beginner maps, one of which was jump_beef.  I've almost completed it, but I can't really seem to be consistent in general, so the learning curver is incredibly steep.  If I make a jump, it will be a 1 out of 100 kind of thing, and because the timing is so quick, I never really end up figuring out what I did right that one time. 

Specifically, jump_beef #11 comes to mind.  I've done it correctly I think 5 times now?  But that's out of a few hundred attempts.  I can consistently fail to the same spot - just short of the target landing area - but I can't consistently hit it.  Are there any tricks to getting that extra distance? 

And do you have any recommendations for getting a more consistent result?  Or is rocket jumping just stabbing in the dark until something works?  I feel like the learning curve is frustratingly and discouragingly difficult.
