[590] Sliding

anyways.. nothing much to explain on the 1st and 2nd picture but on the third picture, you see the knight holding his shield down while waiting for the perfect time to throw the bomb. you have to shield down for this to work. just keep holding it and when you land, you'll move faster.
note: you can also move faster if you move thru gaps.
that's all.

this is my first guide or how to. XD feel free to tell me what i should do so you could find it easier to learn. :)

 

A bit late man, everyone knows about this. Its been around for months

 

well i just wanted to do this simply because nobody made a picture/simple guide or how to about it. :U

 

Once again mostly experienced players know this but i got this a few months ago, very nice guide also useful for new players.

• sliding is useful for getting across flat maps.
• vulnerable to archers (getting shot behind)
• You don't need timing for this you can light the bomb then throw it down then wait to slide.
• you can also change direction just hold the opposite key after your sliding it still works.
• Slows you down if you hit a ladder and you can't continue sliding.
• But it's a waste of a bomb if you just hit a block after you just started sliding.
• also a jump boost (i think or im lagging) just hold w and d.

 

thanks for adding stuff. :D

 

I already read (at least, could be approx. three more) five guides which explain the many ways of bombjumping.
This one must have been in at least four of those.

Oh, and by the way, it already existed somewhere between build 200 - 300.

 

mmkay, i discovered it just this build since i've just played 2 months ago or a month ago, (again). :)

 

This is old dude. Very old.

 

...
well, I guess its not bad to bring this up again.
the guides that explain bombjumping are usually on the very bottom, so the average tutorial-seeking gamer will just skim through and miss them.

 

Not months, a year. Lookup "Kag Racing". :p

its cool that you found this out on your own super, well done!

 

Months is a variable. It could of been 14 months for all I know.
I wasn't sure on the exact date, and did not want to assume it was a year or more.

 

Thanks. :) At first I thought it was just a glitch so I experimented on bombs and stuff. then after a couple of tries, I knew how to do it.

 

-when you land from a reasonable height to begin with, instead of sliding it stuns you, so adjust accordingly if using it to escape
-also gets you across 1 block deep, 1-3 block wide pits. (needs a bit of speed for 3 blocks)


I haven't personally seen this have it's own tutorial, so good initiative!
