Rocket Jumping

[GTRRacer001]

So I'm the only one that moves forward while I'm rocket jumping?

I hold forward during rollouts (and extended jumps where you have to wullhug on RJ maps) where I know I'm not going to be air strafing, I don't usually hold forward in combat due to the fact it can affect air strafing responsiveness. It's situational basically

Forward doesn't affect your air strafing directly, it kills your momentum which is why it's bad in any rocket jump.

I disagree, There is a set of long jumps on jump_adventure that I can do while holding W but I cannot do without holding W..

At 45 seconds, of course this guy is so pro he just pogos it, but when I do it I hold W

I do it as well, and have been for 1000+ hours, most people dont but it works just as well if you can do it right.

Same. It was never an issue for me. It's my method of choice when moving about the more flat maps.

Let me rephrase that, I think holding forward in any rocket jump other than wall climbing and pogos are bad. Those are somewhat impractical anyway though.

As in hold W, that ruins your strafe.
