Trying to get into speedrunning this game but having a big problem. When I watch videos of other people playing the game I see their speed at the bottom and its MUCH faster than mine. Im not a retard, i know how to bhop and strafe very well and yet my speed is so much slower than theirs. I've got goldsrc package installed and working but im still much slower. For example when watching Nyu, at the beginning of his strafe/jump he is almost instantly going over 450 units when hes not even at the peak of his jump. As for me, strafing literally perfectly. I cant even manage to hit 400 units in one long jump. Trust me im not retarded ive been bhopping and KZing in cs go for years i know how to strafe. The only explanation i can think of for this is bunnymod is the only thing not working? I really dont know. Please help though

This is called a pre-strafe. You need to strafe along the ground like you would in the air (but while holding w.) This is what allows you to get close to 500ups before even leaving the ground.

I recommend the command "bxt_hud_jumpspeed 1" for practicing your pre-strafes. It takes a little while to get good at it, but soon you wont have to think about it.

marq, i know how to prestrafe. im telling you, im literally just not going as fast as everyone else. heres a quick gyazo of me bhopping since my recording software isnt working atm, https://gyazo.com/f9bbce49c4ef67f99692cd73152202c7

I know how to bhop mate, ive been KZing and bhoping for fucking years now. I watched your AM 4:14 and you are just straight up going faster than me. Maybe theres just a fucking obvious setting im missing? I really have no idea.

Well it does seem to be your prestrafe. You should be able to get up to 490ups by prestrafing. In the clip you are only getting around 350 off the ground. The prestrafe in HL is much longer than in csgo kz. Try using "bxt_hud_jumpspeed 1" to show you what your speed is when you are leaving the ground. All settings that would effect movement should be default.

I see now. I just tried it and was able to get up to around 446 but that was with a REALLY long prestrafe as you can see in this https://gyazo.com/7d6b39b3f96159214910d9c783f61727 But what I dont understand is how you're able to get even higher than that with less space that I have. I guess ill just have to play the game more and try and get rid of my GO and Source strafes.

Yes, you understand it now. It is really just all practice getting the right sync between mouse and keyboard (just like with airstrafing.) I can tell you that you're not moving your mouse far enough. You want to look more to your side when starting the strafe. You will eventually want to be consistent around 460-490 with every jump on both sides.

Yeah, doing a lot of small strafes is a habit that i got into after literally just LJing for days. Ill work on it. Thanks for the help.

500 is like tas level, good bhop is simply something that takes time and practice, good prestrafes can be like 470-480
