News: FAME's Longjump Show (Rest In Peace)

06/06/19 - 23:42:13

Written by: Nubz

Late evening XJ,

It is time to go back in time to a tragedy we all got announced one month ago. The loss of

FAME touched the whole community and now it is time to sit back and take a few minutes of time to honor his memory.

The idea of a tribute longjump show was proposed by many in the chatbox and gladly

JmPix^ came up and announced that he had a massive collection of

FAME's longjump demos so I started working with them right away to leave a mark for such a figure as he was for Xtreme-Jumps.

The editing part didn't take me as long as it has been since the tragedy but unfortunately I couldn't work on it constantly so it got delayed for some weeks. The movie itself shows you the best of

FAME's longjump demos and tells you a bit of backround from his journey. I hope as many of you as possible could take a part and drop a comment in the YouTube comment section for him. Thank you.

Rest in peace, Denis Petrenko.

News: The Wallslide Limits

Greetings XJ!

This time I'd like to present you another clip of mine, this time followed by a team of top kzsk players, namely:

Chichin

fykseN

shooting-star

.

It demonstrates the power of a technique you wouldn't expect anything of. Wallslide!

I give the word to fykseN:

Wallslide is a technique used to cut the shortest distance between two blocks on a straight wall. Performed by players in the past, but being tested and described in the latest years. Performing wallslide requires a good balance between jumpoff and prestrafe speed, but the knowhow lies in the angle you are facing.

As of my contribution, I chose it to be energetic which comes in contrast to the actual lack of movement.
Another technical novelty allowed me to visualize from the top the angles chichin and ss were facing and how they managed to push the wallslide limits.

The angle is the most important part of this tech. In both - LJ and HJ, you need to control your prestrafe and jumpoff, but that's secondary. When you start moving on the block, try to keep your distance from the wall and connect to it just before you jump. Then adjust the angle to gain maximum potential speed. Wallslide can be combined with all known techniques, such as CJ and ACJ, sometimes it is much easier, safer and faster than classic techniques. Near perfect angles are shown in the clip. Scripting the technique unveiled a ridiculous possibilities (255.4 LJ), however it is up to us to find out how to far can you go with manual skill.

We hope this little project provides exciting illustration and provokes you to explore the depths of GoldSource!

Dear community,

As many of you already know now, we suffered a serious loss.

Denis 'FAME' Petrenko, passed away between the 27th and 28th of April, at the age of 28...
Denis was a true pillar of many communities. We will remember him as helpful, kind and hard working person.
A friend, an authority. An exceptional player, the well of knowledge. Someone who never gave an incomplete answer to your questions. As his friend "allejack" pointed out, FAME always had a lot of passion for our community, and that he wanted to help us grow. This tragic situation brought us all back together, and together we mourn...

Let the earth be light to you. We loved you. Rest in peace, Denis.

Deeply yours,
XJ

News: ROTW #217 - fykseN on kz_construction

30/04/19 - 18:12:08

Written by: e107

Hey!

We've had quite a contingent the last release: shNz's merciless comeback along with fykseN's undoubtable fit to the #1 position, ruperto's kicking into the recording with an unordinary record on the very MIR, et cetera.

akkord in the comments wrote ...

bruh

Of all them, we've decided to feature fykseN's kz_construction - the map that was tricky enough to say "No" to shooting-star, but fykseN was stubborn enough to ignore that!

Before the record's success, there is a story behind:

Basically, the map has two shortcuts: the one countjump akkord did not take and the slide-up he, at the time, was the only one capable of. fykseN kept coming back to the map but coulnd't find the right approach to the latter shortcut. He proceed by asking help from fellow kreedzers, sliders: "...but they struggled on it as well. It was absurd." At that point the chance of WR was reduced to pure luck.

Until MEEL found a way with a great success rate on it - that opened the gate for fykseN! "Then it took me only one session to record the whole run, thanks to him.". When the deed was done, fykseN marked it with an immense homage to the pioneer and left the record there, only God knows for how long. Now, take a moment to taste all of it.

beat my construction

On the movie wheel there is his fellow kzsk mate this time! Blackelf is coherent in his process, as always. You can also see a bit of some glossiness on the materials, which is a novelty he brought for us. Can any of you guess the technique?

In sum, this is your ROTW #217, enjoy!
