Quake Champions tutorial by Rapha - strafe , rocket jumping and slash crouch sliding 

Rapha is such a good role model for the community.

Rapha is great for Quake he does more than anyone else to promote the game, the devs should pay him just to play. Great guy

The tutorials are awesome, of course but for me the best part is watching him fail and be chill about it because it really reaffirms that it is difficult and people should not get frustrated and stop playing because they cannot make some of the jumps, etc. Rapha is a great representative for Dell, they are fortunate to have him.

love that rapha still takes the time to do this stuff

Not having played quake live in 8 years and see champions makes me want to buy a computer just to get back into the quake community. Glad to see the remake of that first map on the video.

I miss the good ole days of quake 3 and rocket arena. I wish quake was as popular as fortnite.

Rapha seems like a pretty cool guy

Thanks a lot rapha, I'm so grateful you're taking the time to pass on quake lessons to us who are just starting out. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the tips... I never played a lot of Quake growing up. I played some, but I was primarily a DOOM player. Then coming from DOOM 2016 to Quake Champions, the speed was even faster and the movement tech even more complex. I just joined Champions about a month ago, and I thought I was doing really well. Then I started watching the Pro's... and man was I wrong. I am so far off the Meta board for movement mechanics its not even funny. So this was very helpful. Thanks.

strafe jumping is like riding a bike, hard to master, but as you practice, it gets almost natural

Rapha is just such an amazing addition to gaming. Along with being one of the best fps players he is someone we all look up to.

I was wondering why I couldnt make the Lockbox jump or why other players always seemed to go faster than I did. So I read up on strafe jumping and practised maybe an hour yesterday. Eventually I noticed that I get more speed if I dont hold the jump button. Tapping and releasing it as fast as possible was a significant difference. So I must un-learn that now and I guess that most people that have trouble are doing the same.

Always root for Rapha when Toxjq isn't playing! Awesome video thanks!

Quake III Arena was the best. The Viking, Ssssup Now, Don Shula the clan FPAB. These were some of the greats. This is 20 plus year old gameplay. Brings back memories. You need to be able to circle an object and keep the reticle on it. I dont know about console commands, but they were crucial to a good config back in the day. Especially _pmove. Just play, that is all you have to do to improve. 5 nightmare bots on the space map used to be the warmup back in the day. Keep Quake alive!

Skill based movement, feels good to be back to quake again!

its so fun that this game has sutch deep mechanic.

The rail jump is literally insane. I think i spent like 30 minutes before i first got it.

If you want to strafe in a straight line without having to change your view direction you can also use halfbeat

20:58 this might be true for duels but not for TDM both, slash and clutch are super easy to become top scorer even if you didn't master them just because they move around so fast and slash is literally unhittable. You can play super aggressive with those because even if you f*** it up you get the weapons you need in no time. Thank you for this quick tutorial that should help me as a new quake player to develop my movement.

This is the EXACT video i was looking for but more about the Jumping and turning its hard AF you make it LOOK EZZZZ. Thanks for the Tips! +Rep!

Wow this makes me wanna get back into game and get beaten by everyone.

Thanks for explaining Crouch Slide. I got it for about 10meter working after a landing, but never knew how to do crouchslide longer than these about 10meters ;D Now I have to figure out a comfortable crouch keybind :S

Still haven't got the hang of strafe jumping but I am slowly improving. Great vid.

i tried switching space jump key with rmb aiming key and it worked for me better,for that bridge to rail jump im always going for doom as if timed right with his extra jump i can make it with ease.

I did not know about that trick with edge clipping at 3:20. Thanks for the guide man

Was watching when he talked about strafing and thought it might be confusing - its all about vectorial speed sum. If you looking left, and running right (w+a keys) your vectorial speed will increase a.k.a the direction where you going. Absolutely same with sailing boats. Also there is tricks which i cant explain - if you draw smile face with your cursor you accelerate more.

2:58 Edge clipping O.O love it use it all time now!

That is the reason why i love, and i would love to try hard quake one day, even if i only have like not even 30 hours on it. Each single part of quake, each single thing you do, you can do it better, you can out play someone by so many differents ways cause each part of the gameplay has a freakin high skill cap. I mean, like i saw on the comments of an other rapha video, i don't know many other games where you can litterally say "you're not moving forward properly" lmao

zis is Rapha

Shane "Rapha" Hendrixon. What an excellent guy!

I need to thank Rapha for the tutorial, been struggling with this stuff forever

6:40 makes the jump to the bridge.

Such a great explanation from one of the greatest player

great vid! i like the slash high ground tips

Great Video! Thanks for all of the great tips Rapha 😁

nice video, makes the game more accessable

i'm am unable to play quake champions (my machine is to old lol) and i dont see Rapha doing it but in Quake III - The Camping Grounds (dm6), the percessor of blood run you can also use ceilings as a rocket surface, or better said the top of door arc, that will prevent you from bumping your head although you do need to bunny/strafe hop afterwards. That good old Q3CAP (Quake III, Clan Arena, Promode 1)

So good to see rapha doing this kind of thing.

defrag for begginers :D love it, miss the old time quake 3 arena defrag

What's a good place to put crouch on the keybinding? I'm using an Esdf setup, with a right-click jump. I like shift being my walk, and Z is my zoom. I think x is my crouch and it's super awkward. Everything else around my movement keys are weapons. As a slash player, I'm missing part of the game play.

0:55 what a sweetheart

Thank you Rapha, this was very helpful to us Bronze/silver players.

Another easy way to make bridge to rail is to just slide on the bridge and slingshot the gap as Slash. I can't make bridge to rail without Slash's slide yet

Man, loading times in this game are surreal

I was in this stream, He was very imformative and gave my black ass a free subscription to his twitch channel. Shouts out to Rapha not to be confused with a rapper! 🎮🕹

very deeply explained. tnx bro

Love the thumbnail lmao

Coming from Source engine based games, strafing in Quake is totally different compared to TF2/ CSGO. Tfw you try to learn how to strafe and rocket jump with "W" pushed down... Just can't seem to pull it off.

If I have to, I sometimes plasma boost myself to the lockbox power up.

how the hell does he gain so much speed after his first jump? i get like 420 when he has 480

I love this game, I can not wait for my 27inch curved 144hz 1ms monitor to get here so I can play again!! Old One Broke:/ Anyone watching and plays Quake Live or Quake Champions want someone to play with or have for duos or practice or whatever just say something here and I'll shoot you a friend request and we can begin to improve and have fun. I play to have fun and mess around and would be cool to have someone to play this with that thinks the same. Not one of my online friends play this game hahaha. I'm at level 31 and I would say that I am above average in skill but not too much above it. I don't play consistently enough for me to get that point into the game that it become second nature and you just are apart of it and you just tear shit up. Some of you will know what I am saying. So write me here in a reply if you wanna play. I have a lot of other game too of course and am down for whatever but I want to have a comrade for this one because of the lack of literately anyone hahaha Peace

This Video has been very helpfull ...Thanks Rapha

... 'its real easy [once you've learnt it] ... so helpful and encouraging lol ...

just a heads up for people that might not know he diddnt explain what a circle strafe was

Whats the difference in between quake champions pack and quake champions pack upgrade? Do i need to have the champions pack to get the champions pack upgrade?

i just realized how much i have to learn and how weak i am my game is rainbow six siege and i can confirm that after over 11k hours in r6 i kinda feel what to do in certain point on certain maps with certain characters but this is so much skilled game this will take loooong time to learn

Thanks for the tips Rapha!

rocket to catwalk i did accidentally during an evade attempt in tdm

Very useful and interesting ^^

I've not played champions. I might in the future if they allow you to turn off the voiceovers and remove all the visual clutter

seeing a pro missing jump just proves me that’s the mecanic is just stupidly hard

i can strafe but somehow i just cant do those bridge jumps to rail etc lockbox is easy but those wider gaps idk... for me its impossible to get 500 speed after the second jump

I grinded my way into getting clutch just to see why he is harder to play. OH boy was i in for a shocker lols. He really is too big and hit the walls constantly due to his speed or even when strafe jumping but the shield is good to have. But yeah walking target for other players to hit with the rail gun. I once got hit by three rail gun shots from three directions at almost the same exact time. Instagibbed me in team death match. But he is tons of fun to play as just too hard to master same as with slash. My god i hate slash with a passion. I see slash on the opposing team i pick clutch and go after her every time that or go after visor. Again i am a new player to quake so i like the game but thanks to Rapha i learned strafe jumping of all champions with keel since he was stupid slow.

I like all the failed attempts and how he stayed cool because it just happens and if you wanna show something you can bet it will happen right then and in a row.

I'm new to quake. One question how do you stopp at strafe jumping? For example to change your direction.

what do u prefer fast mouse sens. or slow?

12:30 i would explain this as muscle memory, although like he mentions you need to synchronize that VERY WELL KNOWN AND PRACTICED muscle memeory with what you see on the screen.... youll get 1500 EASILY in this game like that... i play only drunk and can maintain that rank

Wasn't the map called Campgrounds?

What sesitivity do i need to set if I use 500hz with 500 dpi

Can you still do wallclimbs in this game

Nice video, thanks a lot!

IS THE SLIDE CROUCHING STILL WORKING?

Can someone please explain how can they play with their Steam friends on Quake Champions? I'm really confused about this!

The thumbnail is just awesome lol

Off-topic but what monitor does rapha use? As hes got uncapped fps I'm guessing higher than 144hz. Or does he just uncap fps because of less input lag?

The 4 thumbs down were Fortnite players.

2:32 I learned that on my own in Quake Live :D

Question from me is what you find in Arena these days to keep playing? I left it in 2003 I think, Q4 was better in some details but the same game idea, QL was free and got to top 100 in my country and that was sort of fine with me after I knew the maps. So I just don't know what I would get out of QC that I haven't done and done. I can totally understand if you're motivated by tournaments/opponents and travel but that's just not available to me or most of us I guess. And if you agree with some of this pretty negative view :P then if you have some things you'd like to see that could change it around.

thanks for the video! very helpful

what was the green money ?

i learned to bunnyhop in cs, now gonna try to learn this.. only problem is, ive never played this game before lol

4:33 successful bridge to rail jump

Holding W will be a bit weird to me

6:26 This is OBVIOUSLY Mirror Universe Rapha. Note the facial hair.

tfw someone is strafe jumping all around you and misses all of their shots

thanks for the upload

Thats fov use here?

Thanks man, what was really useful. Благодарю:)

what dpi and ingame sens does he use someone knows?

what mouse settings u need for all of this movements ?

раньше все учили по демкам. а сейчас...))) молодеж... :D

maybe best Slash "move" player is Toxic

Ty for your help!!!

Yes but can rapha tell them difference between 60/260fps?

u can do rocket jump in real life but just once.. so use is wisely

Cmon Rapha, my favourite is Slash.

Great teaching!

Rapha! :) My favorite all time :)

my loading time is like 6 minutes how did his load so fast

Fantastic
