I Keep Hitting The Ground When I Speed Pogo?

[Zowee]

I can try all I want but I keep smacking into the floor. I'm doing it correctly, but it keeps stopping me. Was this patched? Idk, but it gets annoying.

shoot earlier/slightly farther ahead to compensate for rocket delay caused by latency

If I do that, I'll just bounce backwards.

Is speed pogoing the same as normal pogoing or a different thing altogether?

[Zowee]

It's pretty much the same thing. But you just go a lot faster with your rockets by pogo jumping.

I know normal Pogoing is still working, I was able to do that on a Jump course over the weekend. Then again the jump map also let you pogo infinitely due to auto-refill, so I'm not sure how much weight that would really carry since I needed way more then what most people doing the course needed.

I can normal pogo across gaps but not speed pogo. I want to get around more quick.

Speed pogos are pretty hard to pull off consistently. You really just need to get it in your muscle memory when to fire the rocket and how far forward you have to aim it. I've been able to speed pogo like normal so maybe you just need to get back into rocket jumping some more?

[Zowee]

Nah, I'm a quick learner. If I knew the correct key patterns, I could pull it off in maybe an hour or so. Might seem unreal but I can learn stuff that quickly. I've been holding the crouch button but I'm not sure if there's anything else.

Speed pogos are more about angles and timin rather than key patterns. Knowing how to fire the rocket exactly so it propels you in a correct angle when already going at a high speed is a very precise thing to learn. I'd say you try to aim your rocket tiny bits higher each time you try the same jump over and over again until you find the right angle for it. Even if you're a few degrees off you'll either hit the ground or be bounced back/up into the air.

[Zowee]

Idk, but with my luck, I'll probably just end up bouncing back or hitting the ground again lol.

[AmandaKiwi]

Well, it's not really about luck. It's about practicing the same thing for hours and hours until you get it right. Watching videos of tutorials or other speed pogo rocket jumpers might help giving you the right idea but it's really down to practicing.

[Zowee]

I was using luck as an example. Not saying it's based on luck. Just saying it'll take a bit to actually get control of it.

[AmandaKiwi]

That's only natural. Took me a long time to even get the hand of it and I still can't do it more than once consistently and usually not even that.

[Zowee]

Also, how do you start a pogo jump? I usually just rocket jump then try from there. I've seen people just crouch and shoot and kept pogo'ing right there and just went on
