How to Ctap

Ctapping as soldier can get you more velocity and distance on your rocket jumps! While you don't need to know how to do this as a beginner soldier, you should definitely learn this as you begin to approach the higher levels of the game.

'How to squat'. You explained the crouching amazingly but didn't actually teach us how to do the jumping and shooting part of a c-tap. Watched twice to confirm this.

Thanks for the video Slin! Helpful as always.

For those of you who still don't quite get the point of c-tapping:
The closer you are to the impact point of the rocket, the farther you will be launched. So if you add your walking speed to the speed you get while closest to the impact point you will go further. This is done by c-tapping which makes you as close to the ground as possible while maintaining your walking speed.

bind MOUSE1 "+attack ; impulse 101"

This is what I use to practice jumps, as it refills your health and ammo every time you fire. Thanks for the video!

you sir are a gentleman for leaving in your mistakes

[JDawgManiac]

You explained how to practice crouching quickly but I don't think you applied that to explain how to c-tap.
Or I just missed it.

Only learned about ctapping today, but caught up quickly. Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing!

Something I found that helped with ammo and health while practicing jumps was to bind mouse1 +attack;impulse 101 it basically just refills health and ammo every click. Be sure to sv cheats 1

anyone else notice this is this same thumbnail (without text) as STAR_'s when he did the badwater jumping video

After you said 'if you're using the stock', I thought you were gonna mention people who use the Original.

Just to help out, c-tap using the Original by aiming more behind you regardless of where you are. The stock's left-side method, if you will.

ctapping is insane, at first i couldn't do it if my life depended on it, but after A LOT of practice i can do it relatively consistently
same was when i tried to market garden for the first time, i thought my game was bugged or some shit because i had no idea what i was doing wrong lol

slin do a tutorial next on demo (e.g. rollouts, when to use sticks, when to use pipes, how to play as demo as far as aggressiveness)

[henrywang]

Okay, I still don't know how to c tap because you didn't explain it well. But thanks to you I now know how to crouch good

4:07 It is possible to do that jump with a perfect normal jump, but ctap gives you more room for error.
Edit: 5:05 You can also get to the other side by doing a normal jump if you use the wall.

I rigged my crouch to M2 and R now serves what functions M2 used to do, found it makes it easier to flare, rocket, sentry and sticky jump, at least for myself.

Best ctap tutorial I've seen thank you so much

[lars_]

One question which got in my mind: Can you also c-tap at rollouts like at Process when you fast jump over that spire/tower? I never use it in my rollouts... Would be interesting to know

[bloodraven.]

if anyone ever played hns, bhop or jump maps in cs1.6 you know this is just like doing a cj in that game. Wonder if you cant double ctap in tf2 tho xD Probably not

[collaide]

Slin, I'm sorry but it is perfectly possible to jump to the top of spire from haunter WITHOUT using ctap.

I was impressed on how many hours SLIN had, then I remembered how much hours b4nny has
