HOW TO DO - Q2DM1 SSG JUMP - A SHORT TUTORIAL

[daelmun]

Think I've posted this one somewhere else on the site, but guess it doesn't hurt putting it up here. The jump from the stairs below the big healthpacks in the arena up to the ssg-window is a jump that is hard to figure out by yourself. Once you know the "secret", the jump really isn't hard at all, and with some practice it's quite a usefull jump.

Anyway, to make a short story long:
- it can't be done from the floor, it has to be done standing on the 2nd step
- just start the jump on the second step and doublejump off the 4th step, by stepping on the side of the 3rd step, to avoid walking on it
- strafing and/or turning while doublejumping will help

Just a guide I did a while back because someone asked me specifically about that jump.

- just start the jump on the second step and doublejump off the 4th step, by stepping on the side of the 3rd step, to avoid walking on it

I assume you mean stepping TO the side of the 3rd step.  You don't actually touch the 3rd step, do you?

The closest I've ever come was the second time I tried it - still didn't get enough loft - but now I can't seem to hit the 4th step at all

yeah..  its around here..  got me trying it back then..
 its hard to get consistant with it so I usually forget about it

but its hitting the practice rotation again

Ya I tried a bit last night just cant seem to hit that one yet.I can do others so easyily..but this ones harder.

I always seemed to get it by starting on the smallest corner of the 2nd sted I could fit on..  got it a bunch.

but in reality I think maybe you'de need to practice it from running alot too...

Yeah, to the side, thats why I said "to avoid walking on it". Sorry, haven't got perfect english

Hehe... thanks Dael... wasn't trying to make you feel bad... you write so well I actually thought you might have meant it and I'm getting really frustrated with that damn jump to the point I was thinking I might be missing something...
