Need help with my strafe jump.

This is the clip.

I mostly fail like the first 2 jumps, then i often do it correctly like the 3rd try in the video. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong, and why I sometimes do manage it, and sometimes not. Can someone shed some light on this?

Also, if I manage to do the bounce, I cant reach the the other platform, why is that?

I would be glad if you checked the clip and tried to help me

I'm new to 300 units jumping.

your strafe is good, just try change strafe at bounce, so if u jump with w+a change (and hold) to w+d when u touch the bounce

What's your FPS?

Make sure you're using 125 FPS. And as a$ce says, be sure to change strafe at the bounce, it gives you a moderate amount of extra distance.

One other suggestion I would make is to start by facing away at a greater angle than you currently are.

Okay I'll try that, thanks

125 fps constant

Okay, I will try it
Changing the angle doesn't change things, I mean, I still sometimes jump far, and sometimes not. I guess its something to do with my technique
Thanks.

No luck. Couldn't get on the other platform, after the bounce

Try close to 90 degrees away, as demonstrated in this tutorial video:



Obviously it's not as big a distance, and you don't have much of a run up, but basically a quicker version of that. Combine that with a strafe change and you should be able to make it (from the one of you hitting the bounce, I reckon you should be able to do this jump relatively easily),

If you're still having trouble, I'll make a video to show you what I mean, or I could show you in a server.

Having the exact same issue on the exact same map, i make it to that bounce but never make the bounce.
