Rapha is great for Quake he does more than anyone else to promote the game, the devs should pay him just to play. Great guy

[@mostrandomnerd]

I disagree and vote zoot but still rapha is a great personality and important for Quake.

[@harrylawson6293]

There's a prize pool for pro league, so they kinda do pay him in a way.

[@rottenrandy7943]

The tutorials are awesome, of course but for me the best part is watching him fail and be chill about it because it really reaffirms that it is difficult and people should not get frustrated and stop playing because they cannot make some of the jumps, etc. Rapha is a great representative for Dell, they are fortunate to have him.

[@IFalker]

love that rapha still takes the time to do this stuff

[@tjena4390]

what does "still takes the time", im not read up on him

[@davidhouk7454]

Not having played quake live in 8 years and see champions makes me want to buy a computer just to get back into the quake community. Glad to see the remake of that first map on the video.

[@PicklerEntertainment]

Thanks for the tips... I never played a lot of Quake growing up. I played some, but I was primarily a DOOM player. Then coming from DOOM 2016 to Quake Champions, the speed was even faster and the movement tech even more complex. I just joined Champions about a month ago, and I thought I was doing really well. Then I started watching the Pro's... and man was I wrong. I am so far off the Meta board for movement mechanics its not even funny. So this was very helpful. Thanks.

Rapha seems like a pretty cool guy

strafe jumping is like riding a bike, hard to master, but as you practice, it gets almost natural

[@D10-w5j]

Rapha is just such an amazing addition to gaming. Along with being one of the best fps players he is someone we all look up to.

[@llovebeats3749]

The rail jump is literally insane. I think i spent like 30 minutes before i first got it.

[@garageratz612]

Quake III Arena was the best. The Viking, Ssssup Now, Don Shula the clan FPAB. These were some of the greats. This is 20 plus year old gameplay. Brings back memories. You need to be able to circle an object and keep the reticle on it. I dont know about console commands, but they were crucial to a good config back in the day. Especially _pmove. Just play, that is all you have to do to improve. 5 nightmare bots on the space map used to be the warmup back in the day. Keep Quake alive!

[@gamingSlasher]

I was wondering why I couldnt make the Lockbox jump or why other players always seemed to go faster than I did. So I read up on strafe jumping and practised maybe an hour yesterday. Eventually I noticed that I get more speed if I dont hold the jump button. Tapping and releasing it as fast as possible was a significant difference. So I must un-learn that now and I guess that most people that have trouble are doing the same.

[@fkeyzuwu]

i realised that as well!

[@traida111]

In other games with straff jumping, you cant get as fast when holding jump, but when I hold jump in quake champions I seem to go just as fast as pressing manually? but anyway you just want to hit jump just before you hit the ground, the game doesnt register your feet on the floor so doesnt slow you down

[@user-zj4rg9kn1c]

Change your jump. To right click and it makes the game easier

[@phattjohnson]

[@Bartzol]

20:58 this might be true for duels but not for TDM both, slash and clutch are super easy to become top scorer even if you didn't master them just because they move around so fast and slash is literally unhittable. You can play super aggressive with those because even if you f*** it up you get the weapons you need in no time. Thank you for this quick tutorial that should help me as a new quake player to develop my movement.

[@KingBarney]

Clutch is pretty easy to hit though

[@Gaer56]

Wow this makes me wanna get back into game and get beaten by everyone.

[@nitayweksler3051]

I started with Quake recently, i dont get beaten alot, i dont play ranked. Great game. I got around 25 hrs in game and decent aim from previous games

If you want to strafe in a straight line without having to change your view direction you can also use halfbeat

That is the reason why i love, and i would love to try hard quake one day, even if i only have like not even 30 hours on it. Each single part of quake, each single thing you do, you can do it better, you can out play someone by so many differents ways cause each part of the gameplay has a freakin high skill cap. I mean, like i saw on the comments of an other rapha video, i don't know many other games where you can litterally say "you're not moving forward properly" lmao

[@linaskulbaciauskas7068]

Was watching when he talked about strafing and thought it might be confusing - its all about vectorial speed sum. If you looking left, and running right (w+a keys) your vectorial speed will increase a.k.a the direction where you going. Absolutely same with sailing boats. Also there is tricks which i cant explain - if you draw smile face with your cursor you accelerate more.

[@GoogLf2]

how the hell does he gain so much speed after his first jump? i get like 420 when he has 480

[@SleepyRickyC92]

Experiment with how far you are looking to the side. Also start moving for a little just before you jump. That extra split second of ground movement gets you quite a bit of UPS before your jump. It's also a key idea to the technique called "circle jump", which is essentially strafe jumping with a running start.

[@slip8293]

I love this game, I can not wait for my 27inch curved 144hz 1ms monitor to get here so I can play again!! Old One Broke:/ Anyone watching and plays Quake Live or Quake Champions want someone to play with or have for duos or practice or whatever just say something here and I'll shoot you a friend request and we can begin to improve and have fun. I play to have fun and mess around and would be cool to have someone to play this with that thinks the same. Not one of my online friends play this game hahaha. I'm at level 31 and I would say that I am above average in skill but not too much above it. I don't play consistently enough for me to get that point into the game that it become second nature and you just are apart of it and you just tear shit up. Some of you will know what I am saying. So write me here in a reply if you wanna play. I have a lot of other game too of course and am down for whatever but I want to have a comrade for this one because of the lack of literately anyone hahaha Peace

[@thewilbatron]

Another easy way to make bridge to rail is to just slide on the bridge and slingshot the gap as Slash. I can't make bridge to rail without Slash's slide yet

[@SleepyRickyC92]

It’s tricky, and I only got it recently with ranger and later slash. Ironically despite his slower speed I found it easier to do the jump with ranger. A few points I noted is that I did it with less than 600 ups (I think I landed with near 550 to 560 ups). The jump is more about the trajectory and jumping near the very edge rather than the speed.

[@TheFirstSRK]

i'm am unable to play quake champions (my machine is to old lol) and i dont see Rapha doing it but in Quake III - The Camping Grounds (dm6), the percessor of blood run you can also use ceilings as a rocket surface, or better said the top of door arc, that will prevent you from bumping your head although you do need to bunny/strafe hop afterwards. That good old Q3CAP (Quake III, Clan Arena, Promode 1)

[@SleepyRickyC92]

The bridge to rail jump is pretty hard, but with a little practice anyone can do basic strafe jumps. Optimal strafe jumps does come with practice and a deeper understanding of the mechanics though.

[@drugstoremarc2]

The thumbnail is just awesome lol

[@user-zj4rg9kn1c]

What's a good place to put crouch on the keybinding? I'm using an Esdf setup, with a right-click jump. I like shift being my walk, and Z is my zoom. I think x is my crouch and it's super awkward. Everything else around my movement keys are weapons. As a slash player, I'm missing part of the game play.

[@Hashslingingslasher-]

If I have to, I sometimes plasma boost myself to the lockbox power up.

[@Hazardteam]

Rapha! :) My favorite all time :)

[@MegaMoiz]

I grinded my way into getting clutch just to see why he is harder to play. OH boy was i in for a shocker lols. He really is too big and hit the walls constantly due to his speed or even when strafe jumping but the shield is good to have. But yeah walking target for other players to hit with the rail gun. I once got hit by three rail gun shots from three directions at almost the same exact time. Instagibbed me in team death match. But he is tons of fun to play as just too hard to master same as with slash. My god i hate slash with a passion. I see slash on the opposing team i pick clutch and go after her every time that or go after visor. Again i am a new player to quake so i like the game but thanks to Rapha i learned strafe jumping of all champions with keel since he was stupid slow.

6:26 This is OBVIOUSLY Mirror Universe Rapha. Note the facial hair.

[@tommeke21]

i can strafe but somehow i just cant do those bridge jumps to rail etc lockbox is easy but those wider gaps idk... for me its impossible to get 500 speed after the second jump

[@SleepyRickyC92]

Same here. I find it very hard to increase the speed to near 600 ups after the second jump. I also have a harder time circle jumping to the right, so that doesn't help. I did notice Rapha landed on the edge of the bridge at near 490 ups and just about go to 600 ups when he landed at the rail ledge. My biggest wonder is how Rapha got to 600 from 500 ups during the duration of his second jump. Mouse movement wise there doesn't seem to be big movements. Edit: managed to do the jump with about 560 ups on landing as ranger. The trick seems to be trajectory and being right at the edge of the ledge as you jump. I noted that you want the strafe jump to have almost a straight trajectory. If the trajectory is too curved you’ll be a bit too far left to the ledge.

[@rraggne]

Coming from Source engine based games, strafing in Quake is totally different compared to TF2/ CSGO. Tfw you try to learn how to strafe and rocket jump with "W" pushed down... Just can't seem to pull it off.

[@SleepyRickyC92]

Get your friends to message you their QC in-game name. Then you use the search bar near the bottom-left of the screen to find the person and select follow. Your friend(s) will see that they are being followed and can choose to block or friend you. Once you have them as a friend you can invite them to a party and then you can queue for the modes you want or play custom games. I think you can also launch a custom lobby then invite a friend.
