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.

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

[@TranquillShot]

5:42 Oh my god this sums up my Titanfall experience so well. I intuitively figured out the delay strafe thing, because I knew that sometimes I could get... *lurched* in the direction if I didn't. Negative reinforcement. Oh my god a whole video about this woooo let's go!

[@Hummeldon]

Amazing presentation. Such a great job of breaking down complicated concepts so they are easy to understand but without taking away from how difficult it is to execute.

I'm so starved for titanfall content I'm watching a 20 minute video about stuff I already know

[@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.

[@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
