tap crouch: rocket jump goes way higher

bonus bonus nerd info: knockback is capped at 1000 hu/s so ctapping as a demo to gain height doesn't do anything. detonator explodes in the air so getting closer to the floor doesn't do anything. for gaining height, scorch shot's knockback is so weak that ctapping, while giving you increased knockback, doesn't make up for the 20 units you lost in the first place, so it's pointless lol. (but yeah horizontally it can still help)

In CSGO, if I'm not mistaken, you actually go higher when tapping crouch just before jumping. It's a very small amount tho, but there are many spots where you have to do it to get up. I thought it would be the same in tf2.

Thank you for explaining to me how sweet having works on the engine side of things.

ive been practicing rocket jumping for a year now


I NEVER KNEW WHY SOME JUMPS WERE RANDOMLY HIGHER WTF

C-tapping is fun when u crouch with c.

What about FaN jumps?

I read the title as "claps" and did not for a second question why clapping your asscheeks made you rocket jumpt faster in tf2, it just made sense.

it's over enemy team, i have the high ground!

yes i know how to ctap
no i don't know how to rocket jump good

how does source engine even work

Pumpernickel bread.

I have a suggestion for an experiment. Its unrealistic but with if sniper how dmg fall off but in revers where the closer something is the less damage it does. This would prevent quicks scopes on flanking targets

Could you do a video covering why you sometimes can see a player's shadow through a wall?

How is Source even funtional in the slightest?
I swear this thing is held together with band aids and sticky tack

Think you could make an addendum to this to explain why shallow water also greatly extends the height of explosive jumps? I've always wondered why that happens

hey shounic, if you haven't, please explain when getting random critical hits with the minigun why sometimes the correct electricity-ish sound effect is played and other times the weird double, overlapped normal minigun shooting sound effect is played

So the Jump academy got it wrong, darn

You should find whacky stuff to do with vscript

can you explain why you crouch jump higher if you crouch before jumping rather than after

Can I just use normal way to just rockeyjump without ctapping?

I don't want to go higher, I want to just reach places faster.

you can ctap with one rocket from the hightower middle spawn exit platform and make it to the mega on the hightower ! the firet location i realized how powerful ctapping is.

This is the kind of educational content I wish I had a decade ago

Quack.

Been doing this since TFC just because it works, never knew why, thanks meng!

Been learned about ctap many years ago, but this is the first time I learned how it actually works!

its called c-tapping and its one of the more difficult tricks to mastering rocket jumping

Video idea: what if everyone gun (or hit scan only) could deal headshot damage?

forsooth

I thought the c-tap jump was covered in a different video and found to give more height than a normal crouch jump. Is this different?

i tought that ctap jump gets you higher, or am i just dumb

Source spagetti monster.

yes i'm aware

TF2 has the most entertaining bug reports ever.

Sounds related to a goldsrc issue there was with unducking that caused small jumps which got fixed in source

If tf2 ever does get a source 2 update. I wonder if these odd quirks that ultimately add to the gameplay will come with the port

It is almost like soldier is a broken class and needs nerfs to balance him.

Unducking for extra height by abusing mechanics
Bhopping to carry a crit with the market gardener so even if you miss a swing, you can get another chance
Ctapping on the class with the most movement options in game.

A total overhaul would fix soldier. And spare me the comments of "tHaT wOuLd RuIn HiM", because if you need these exploits on the most mobile class in game with one of the highest DPS thresholds in terms of burst damage WITH splash damage, then you shouldn't be playing the game at all.

ctapping is short for crouch tapping
crouch tapping can be shortened to crapping
petition to rename ctapping to crapping

omg so sus, crouching through a vent😂

Mí mind while watching the video:
Soldier Tea bagging intensifies

how did I learn more about rocket jumping in the first minute of this video than in all tutorials I've watched combined

The ghosts of Carmack's 1996 Quake echoing through to Source games in 2023.

I don't know how you keep getting Gabe to cameo voice lines at the end but he's sounding increasingly nervous about some of the stuff you're showing 😅😂

I wonder, was this the same kind of source bug that created the jump bug in CS:GO? I was never able to do it (because i suck) but there was a "tech" for a short time in CS:GO where you could jump peek over a ledge and see over it, but you couldn't be spotted from the other side. It was abused mostly on Inferno banana, since the half wall was basically the perfect height for it. A CT could use the jump bug to spot banana from complete safety. Iirc, in the pro scene teams had a gentleman's agreement to not use the jump bug in official matches, since there was literally no counterplay to it. I want to say 3kliksphilip probably made a video kinda explaining it at the time, but i cant remember.

man i love the editing style. reminds me of marblr

oh wow i didn't even know this existed, i guess thats why my rocket jumps always seemed way shorter than stuff i saw in videos

I have been playing TF2 for 15 years and I have never been able to c-tap. After watching this video, I was c-tapping within the hour. Thank you so much! 😸

I love the idea of tf2 devs current or former, watching these vids and being like ".........wow ok I spent weeks trying to figure that bug out"

Do you have any videos on trimping and why it occurs? I have always wondered what causes it and ramp surfs in general in tf2.

This reminds me of when STAR_ uploaded a video of him playing demo, he charged at one point on a slight incline(or something, it's been years since I've seen it) and it clipped him into the floor until someone eventually killed him. I wonder if this plays into that?
