As someone who has been playing Quake since it came out, it's always interesting to see how the Quake engine affects games still, over 25 years later, and makes movement more and more intricate and keeps it interesting. Great video! I've only played Titanfall 2 single player, and it was amazing. I've seen some videos from Titanfall multiplayer, and it does seem very interesting.

Dude, I've never watched TF2 speedruns, mostly just melee, but this video was so good I gotta dip my toes in.

[@kelmirosue3251]

The game is incredible, both the story and multiplayer. Sadly the community now has taken it into their own hands to make updates, gamemodes, etc via mods. So don't expect to get any matches in the normal version of the game. But still worth getting for the single player experience alone.

[@lum1noir]

strafe lurch is one of the most interesting movement mechanics i've ever seen in a game one, to shape the whole game, as if it competitive play, or speedrunning

[@redpz]

holy shit this explains exactly why my bhops felt so awkward compared to other source games

[@Howling_Phantom]

Came here from Mokey, and I gotta say it was a great recommendation. I honestly didn't realise that tap straffing was/is such a big thing as it only seemed like a small movement tech, rather than something that can be abused with machines to get some hilariously insane speedruns. Thanks for the vid, was very informative. Sadly I'm one of those short end of the stick fellas on console lmao, so I'll be able to do this when I get a pc

[@ThatNoobKing]

_what a recommendation from there. Beauty_

[@MoonyB]

This video rules! How long did it take you to master lurchless tech when it originally was discovered?

[@zweekSR]

A few days to maybe a week, I think. It was arguably harder to pick up for experienced runners, not because it's difficuly mechanically, but because you had to overwrite a lot of your existing muscle memory. People that just started running around that time period (like Viz for example) were able to learn it much much faster.

[@renecardoir7553]

Great amount of thought and editing behind this, very entertaining and informative, I love speedruns and especially Source related movement, Titanfall really feels like a whole new style with the wall running and lurch, especially TAS runs, the insanely sharp turns with no speed loss, impossible elsewhere even after modifying the air acceleration to the highest amount.
