If there's music in this video, it's probably by Zweihander, check them out here!:

This helped a lot, my problem was that i was pressing W.
Another REALLY good strafe practice is the game Team Fortress 2, it's in the same engine, and it has the same mechanics of movement that being strafing,
the rocket jumping in that game is also quintessential in classic videogame movement tech
literally every game that explosion blasts u have rocket jump just because tf2
@@whitegold8409 it’s actually because of quake, but yeah, true
Double jump with A/D pressed, while straifing, completely ruin the speed on PC. It's kinda of hard not to make a mistake
How do keep momentum when bunny hopping? I can't keep it, I loose all speed after about 4 hops.
Dwayne the 'Rock-Hard' Johnson Do you hold w?
you have to hold the crouch button down, or press it after every jump like frothy does.
stop holding w
yeah that would probably be it, thx lol
I don't keep speed when holding A or D like in video, it just slows me to an ordinary strafe. Just holding crouch and double jumping seems to do it better but I never keep the speed up like in this video and I cannot bend my path like that either.
Great video! Something I've seen you do in your videos is combining air-strafing with wall runs to let you turn corners on buildings without an opposing surface. I'm having a lot of trouble with this, my air strafe doesn't seem to let me 'corner' that sharply, i just spin out and lose momentum. Any tips on how to maximize the delta v on air-strafes?
So happy to see Frothy is back now with Titanfall 2's release, was my favourite youtuber in the TF1 era
I never saw the keyboard layout until I watched this for a third time lol.
Man, I can slide hop in a straight line all long but for the life of me I can't understand the air strafing while slide hopping part. For me I immediately lose all of my momentum if I try to hold A or D while in the air (and yes I'm not holding W)
same problem here. have you figured out a solution since you posted?
I've gotten a little better since I changed my keyboard bindings to hold crouch instead of toggle crouch (so I can just hold crouch while slide stopping instead of having to time that as well)
I've figured it out my friend! The trick is this; before you do you're first bunny hop (so in the first jump (midair)) you start holding Left or Right. after that you just do what you normally do. This causes you to NOT lose any momentum while strafing after a bunny hop.
+yama4ever you're a life saver man
@@yama4ever what do you mean left or right. Are you talking about mouse inputs or a and d inputs?
I was having trouble with not holding W. I switched my crouch to hold instead of toggle and i find this gives me MUCH more control. Went from not working too well to immediately working perfectly. Just hold crouch so you dont have to press it each jump. Frothy, any tactical disadvantage to using hold crouch instead of toggle?
I think hold is better
For all the people that can Slide/Bunny-Hop in a straight line perfectly over a period of time, but seem to lose momentum when trying to strafe, I've figured it out my friend! The trick is this; before you do you're first bunny hop (so in the first jump (midair)) you start holding Left or Right. after that you just do what you normally do. This causes you to NOT lose any momentum while strafing after a bunny hop. So don't try strafing after your first hop, but start it before!
show video. also do you move mouse too or just hold left/right? even touching l/r on keyboard makes character turn and stop.
I had more luck with slide hopping on PC by not using toggle crouch and using (hold) crouch. I still slow down slightly after the 4th hop but I might be miss-timing my jumps. My biggest problem now is face planting into walls.
That's very helpful. I was holding w and losing all speed in around 4 hops.
How do you combat the small jump left and right you get when you press A or D in the air. I find it slows me down a lot.
Sounds like you are not turning your mouse left/right quickly enough. If you hold A/D, jump too early, and aren't moving your mouse properly, that happens and it really does kill your speed. You'll get better at it with time.
Thank youu so much, I just didn't know how to eject myself away from the titan and it was extremely difficult to find it out on the internet. Your keyboard from the right corner solved it :D I'm giving ya thumbs up !
I'm getting the hang of the bunny hopping and wall running but I'm not really that great at using it to win. 90 percent of the time I go bouncing across the map like a lunatic and just get shot by somebody standing on the ground because I'm such an obvious target. do you have any advice on when to capitalize on the movement system and when to play more campy?
never try to fight a pilot 1v1 on the ground, always try and find a wall and gain high ground.
Hey man, thanks for your videos, I didn't get a chance to play the original Titanfall but since I grabbed this one your videos have been great, especially this one. Just for clarity, do you have toggle crouch mapped to ctrl or just regular crouch?
Do we need to press D+ space or A+space but do we have to press W at the same time
Hey man, love your videos and your streams. Ive started practicing bunny hopping and ive gotten pretty okay at it, but my big issue is I lose a ton of speed and I cant turn. I'm just kinda stuck going straight, and I can only hop 3 or 4 times before I need to wall run again to get my speed. I'm not holding W, but I suck at timing so I'm using a different method of holding Mouse5 which is bound to crouch (hold) so I just have to time jumps. What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much!
+rxbots probably staying on the ground too long. You want to only barely touch the ground each time, don't linger and slide on the ground for more than a split second.
My knuckles are cracked and I'm back in the action. This video is a fantastic refresher on advance movement. I also had no idea about stim ejects. I mighy start abusing those in the future hahaha
Do you ever use your camera on your mouse for stream? I have only seen a few streams, but I think it would be cool to watch your mouse movement whilst playing. Just a thought.
i recorded that with my tablet, I can't plug that in to my PC as a source at all unfortunately.
FrothyOmen Makes sense, still nice to see the keyboard layout atleast.
I have no problem maintaining speed when i'm bhopping, but whenever I try to airstrafe, I rapidly lose speed til the point where even sprinting would be faster. I don't get it.
laz0rgatling You probably need to match up your mouse speed and the effect of your directional keys. I found that very difficult to master.
keep practicing man! practice will be the only thing to get you there! :D
im not a 100% sure but i believe you pressing W or holding up on the stick is the reason why your loosing speed or stopping entirely
Oliver Hoare could be it. With 1000 DPI and an ingame sensitivity of 4.5 it's a relatively twitchy playstyle that I'm running with. I just find it cumbersome to move my whole arm while playing these fast-paced games, but I will try lowering it to see if it makes any difference.
Fab Coleman I know! I'm practicing the whole damn week without actually playing the damn game haha. I'm level 27 or so, while all my friends are hitting G.3 and higher. Anyways.. letting go of W was one of the first things I did, so that's a no-brainer for me. Bhopping in a full circle is also no problem at all. But if I try this slalom-kinda thing, my velocity slows down to a crawl. It's just so frustrating. CS 1.6 was so much easier haha
hold w to start off your momentum and practice by air strafing in a circle after that
i have this same problem. i can slidehop in a straight line fine and not lose momentum, but anytime i press any directional key, i lose all speed. ive tried so many times, in different ways, different settings and copied the keys frothy was pressing but i still drop to zero momentum. i dont understand what im doing wrong. not pressing w
Erm, stupid question but how do does mousewheel down meele work for you?
When I bind it to mouse wheel down nothing really happens
How do I double jump and keep my speed while slide hopping? I always seem to jump to the side and lose my speed. Do I need to release A/D?
Yeah, if you're trying to go in a straight line let go of A/D. Only use A/D if you're also moving your aim in that direction to airstrafe.
This is so freaking confusing, trying to move fast without holding w+shift?! Like what the hell
Wow you've gained so many subs man congrats
Thanks!
Hold to crouch seems so much easier in my personal opinion, it's just one less button to be worrying about, so why do I see so many people using crouch toggle? Is it better to do in the long run? Personal preference? Something carried over from the first game?
Ah never mind, just read the answer below, I had glazed over it the first time.
My momentum goes dead pretty fast, having trouble getting the hang of it.
If you strafe left or right without moving the mouse at the same time, it kills your momentum right? I think that might be my problem.
I've never not moved my mouse while doing that. I'm not sure.
I've figured it out my friend! The trick is this; before you do you're first bunny hop (so in the first jump (midair)) you start holding Left or Right. after that you just do what you normally do. This causes you to NOT lose any momentum while strafing after a bunny hop.
wow dude. im going trough comments to give people my knowledge i got today while practicing in private. and trying to referring them to my airstrafe video. and THANK YOU for not only posting your trick as a comment but going trough comments and replying your trick to them. i read your reply 4-5 times now.
You're welcome! :)
I've seen players able to maintain a fast speed on console as well but I haven't been able to replicate it. First off, is air strafing necessary to maintain speed, or can you do it in a straight line. Secondly, is possible to aim and move at the same time on a controller?
Straight line is fine, it's actually easier.
its not necessary. but with a good airstrafe you can rescue a bad b-hop because a well timed airstrafe actually boosts you forward quiet a lot. im showing the capabilities of that in a video
Ah yes, the wonderful artifacts left behind from the source engine. TF2 has taught me well for this game.
You don't address it in the video so I wonder: in Tf1 you could always do a pretty decent eject strafe even without stim. Is that feature now gone? I ask because I haven't been able to replicate Tf1 eject strafing *at all* since starting to play the new game.
Great video as usual. Thanks frothy.
Its just that the ejection height is way shorter now.
yes, you can, but it is not as effective, but it is definitely doable.
Ejection height isn't shorter anymore.
You can still eject strafe w/o stim but it's nowhere near as good as tf1
Frothyomen do you think you can start a facecam on some of your videos or live streams
That sensitivity+DPI combo(i have the same mouse) seems ultra low.... I've been playing games on 3600 dpi.... But honestly its a lot easier to aim on Low DPI. Do you use this setting all the time or do you switch in a gunfight?
I use this setting 100% of the time
ah ok, thanks! I'm starting to get the bunny hopping, now i just need to learn to air strafe...
I got stood up after hitting space. How do yall keep sliding like that?
So that's why I was having so much trouble air strafing! No need to keep the W key. Thanks a bunch!
I trying to strafe but it keeps slowing me down no matter what I do what am I doing wrong bruh
Hi frothy, any advice for using airstrafing to go 90 degrees around a building corner in between wall runs? I remember seeing this in your advanced wall running video, but can't seem to get the hang of it.
Don't expect to retain much if any speed when doing it. That's a really sharp turn and, while possible, you kill your momentum when doing it.
run to the corner. when like 3m away from it stop holding forward and jump off. immediately perform a very hard air strafe and jump back to the side of the building. i trained today and that worked for me
Whenever I bind mouse wheel down to jump I can’t jump in game
I looked through the comments and I didn't see this question so here goes. How do you have your keys mapped, I am trying to find a setup that is easy to use and yours looks really easy to learn as well
Kaos Master there's a video for that too !
Thanks, i found it this morning after subbing to the channel and i thought to my self, i hope someone either links this or mentions it so i don't feel dumb about not noticing it
I see you've already answered your own question -- but here's the video link for any future time travelers that may find it useful: th-cam.com/video/Zj8wL59ewtc/w-d-xo.html
Is there any difference between tapping CTRL on each bunny hop, in comparison to holding CTRL and only tapping jump?
no, as long as you're using the correct keybind for hold or toggle crouch
so what is the point of tapping cntrl? It seems like its just harder for no reason
@@SeattleRain idk
how do you not stop crouching while jumping!?!?!?
Great video, thanks Frothy!
When is the right time to switch between strafing left and right, when trying to go in just one direction? I find that I lose speed when I switch from strafing left to strafing right
If you're only trying to go straight, you don't need to hit left or right at all.
Does bhopping only work if you jump as soon as you land or can you slide a bit before you jump?
WotTimeIsIt You may slide a bit but it will slow you down so Jumping right as you hit the ground is key for fast slide hopping.
trying to do this on console ps4, just can't seem to get the hang of it
How to change titans gun.... my f1 key is also my mute key... pls help me out
have you tried the trick of mapping crouch (not toggle crouch) to an easy to hold button to streamline bunny hops? if you have tried it you should mention the trick it realy helps.
saw a video of someone talking about it and tried it out by mapping it to mouse 4. I fired up private matches and learned to bunny hop and air strafe over the next 2 or so hours. once I finally felt i had it down I whent a little crazy and mapped crouch to right click, and moved ADS to mouse 4 since I always just jump around with SMGs.
man if respawn would just let us set timers of 99min in private...that would make training so much easier
I was just wondering, is there a certain controller mapping that works best for b-hopping and air strafing? I've been using Bumper Jumper Pilot since that is what I used in the first Titanfall but I've seen others use other configurations so I just wanted to know if changing might make a difference.
Use evolved. It makes bunny hopping easy as hell and you just need to use the claw grip once in a while to do a melee attack. Stick with it. It felt really awkard for around 1-2 hours for me and then suddenly it clicked.
Literally seeing you everywhere I go. Fuck off.
Mason Conrad Hi bae.
Which Titan is most effective as an auto Titan with a guardian chip?
I would not recommend any of them, but if you must run one of them in that way I'd choose Ion, Legion, or Ronin as the auto-titans. Those are going to be the best at wrecking pilots.
Thank you for responding, just experimenting with some goofy loadouts
Your video made me finally figure out how to do it.
i really enjoy your videos :-)
and i can't wait for the updatet Ion titan video, and possible a Car smg weapon video?
So its the same as counter-strike bhopping too a certain degree?
In some ways, yes, the sliding part is one of the key differences.
I just cant strafe while bunny hopping, it just feels impossible. Every time I just stop. Straight line is fine, but not actually moving sideways which is essential. The game just looks 10x more fun when you're able to move like you do
having the same problem. have you figured out a solution since you posted this?
Just enable hold crouch instead of toggle. Then you can just focus on timing your jumps, and eventually get to stafing.
yeah i have it on hold and i have no problem slidehopping, but 0 success airstrafing, none. not holding w. whenever i press a/d, i lose my momentum. yes im moving my mouse slowly a the same time as the keypress
Then I dont know dude, sorry
Should I bind the crouch key to toggle or hold?
i have it on hold and hold it thoughout the whole bunnyhop. Not like all the youtubers suggest to just hit it with the jump
You are one of the best, if not THE BEST Titanfall player I've ever seen. If Titanfall 2 goes eSport. You down for that?
In other words you think you would make a team and go competitive?
How do you eject when you are not doomed in controllers?
Self Destruct
I believe you can initiate the auto eject by either holding down or pressing Up on the D-Pad. Im almost a 100% sure
up on d pad
just to clarify I meant holding down the up bottom or pressing it :D (Y)
up on the D-pad, then triple tap X(or square on PS4)
Can't believe I'm back 6 years later!
Does anybody know why ejecting into the air from the Titan on PC sometimes doesn't work? It usually just spits me out in front of the titan. Am I pressing the wrong key? I have it mapped to the X key.
mchlup X initiate the eject and then E. Just E is for getting out (let's say to pick up a battery)
Press e 3 time to eject , hold e to get out
realy wish this was made clearer
When you bunny hopping, in your keyboard layout it looks like you dont hold Ctrl while mid-air and you only press it when u hit the ground. But if i release Ctrl midair my pilot "stands up" and straightens the weapon. Do you know why is that? Does it matter if you hold Ctrl?
you aren't using toggle crouch. Your mothod is not wrong, it's just different.
I think Frothy muscle-memoried his bunny hops using toggle-crouch, so he taps Ctrl immediately after jumping to re-engage his toggled crouch. You can bind Ctrl to crouch (instead of toggle) and just hold it through the entire process. It's less micro-intensive, but requires constant use of your pinkie, so it kinda pins your hand down, might impact your ability to reach other hotkeys. It's a preference thing from what I understand.
He has ctrol as toggle to crouch - you have it as hold to crouch. It doesn't matter much if either works for you.
try binding crouch to your side mouse button and just hold it down while you bunny hop
thank you all for the replies. Yes i have it on hold instead of toggle. It's fine because i have already got used to it from previous games like Warframe and Dirty Bomb. I was just curious what was different.
Thanks much for your guide, I was finding it for decades lmao)
What's the controller equivalent to "W"? Is it the slide button?
left joystick forward.
FrothyOmen Oh wow...really? Well that's my problem right there then. Thanks for the quick reply.
I know Gamesager has a good guide on BHopping on console. I'd check that out if I were you.
which key do you use for the crouch
its hard to me to keep my hand on the ctrl
I use ctrl. Sorry to hear you're struggling with it :(
actually i got stress when i keep my pinky finger pressing ctrl
ill try to practice more
thanks for your action
here what i did
i installed o rings on my mechanical keyboard
my keyboard is razer blackwidow tournament
as you know the o rings can make the travel distance of the key shorter and the pressing smoother
now i feel like its more easier for me
maybe the problem from my keyboard but now its ok
thanks man
What sensitivity do you run in-game? And what DPI do you run on your mouse?
600 dpi, 2.7 in-game
Holy shit... my dpi is like 1500 and 10 in-game...
That is just way too high man
mine is 800dpi at 1
Arya35
WTF? Could you please measure how many cm/inches that are for 360°?
I totally did not realise i shouldnt hold W while bunnyhopping. THanks a lot
so do you hold crouch cuz that was what i was told
Set your crouch to toggle.
So it kinda like strafing in Team Fortress or CSGO, that is good to know.
Raire Titanfall is based on ghe source engine.like those two games do yea
Nice vids bro! Keep up the good works
No this is not for me. I can't even do a singe bhop :( When I pressing other control my character suddenly stops .
Do you have toggle or hold to crouch?
I use toggle, but most people seem to like hold better.
Okay, i'm using toggle, it seems like i just need to practice more =)
i switched from toggle to hold and oooooh boy does it make it easier
Why only tap ctrl instead of holding it while bunny hopping?
Because I use toggle crouch instead of hold-to-crouch. Up to you to use whichever you prefer!
So if I use hold-to-crouch do I have to hold it down all the time or do I have to release it at some point?
Hold it all the time when bhopping
Bunny hopping doesn't work now
How can i load a map alone?
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/xTlWml6aZLU/w-d-xo.html
having lots if trouble on ps4 alternating from directly forward to directly left and right. does anyone know of any recources that may help?
+Bubbsey Strasburg (MoonMist2410) just practice. You don't need to repeatedly alternate between forward and sideways. Once you've started bhopping you can technically let off of left stick completely
FrothyOmen thanks man. i have noticed that but old habits die hard :p ill keep trying i have been slowly improving
I bound slide to a mouse button and it feels niice
Anyone know why the nitro scorch pack on PS4 for pre order isn't showing up
TheBlueMax 73 you dont get the nitro skin for pre-order you get it if you buy the deluxe edition
TheBlueMax 73 if you bought on amazon, ask them, they didn't send email to me.
check email before you contact, though
Surume man got it from GameStop
TheBlueMax 73 then ask your store, you need to enter code for Nitro scorch pack
I have a easy way to slide hop in 1 minute (only works PC I think)
So just go into settings and where is says toggle crouch and crouch bind uh like c to crouch then all you need to do is jump around and hold down c so bam done
I love the responses I get from people who are watching me through their death cam when I stim and air strafe across the map to a dropship or something. One of my friends was like "Holy shit! I just saw someone superman across the map."
"Yeah, that was me."
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!"
Since no one else seems to have asked, what program do you use to show your keyboard in realtime on screen?
0:55 anyone figure out how to play alone in a private lobby?
I am 5 months late. In the matchmaking there is a private Match Option. Did you figure it out?
@@Bence70170 I think I did, but found out that there's no option for private solo stuff in Titanfall 1
My problem is after a few hops, I lose momentum :/
So from what it looked like, you were using toggle crouch in your game.
I have mine set to crouch-to-hold, and this messes me up as toggle crouch means I have to re-hold the crouch button to keep going.
Any tips to fix this?
Just use hold-to-crouch, it's objectively better than toggle. I only use it because I'm extremely used to the motion at this point and don't want to un-learn it.
Alright, I swapped it back, but before that, I tried to set LCTRL to jump and SPACE to crouch. It worked for a short bit, but when applied to general movement, it didn't work out.
Anyway, (forgive me if I'm repeating myself) it looks like the thing I'm having trouble with is the key order.
When I hit the ground, do I hold down the crouch key and jump, then as I'm in midair, continue holding the crouch key? And do keep holding down the directional keys when I touch the ground, or do i swap over to a different direction/press the same key again.
I apologize if I'm making this a bit difficult.
Thanks for the tips man! I'll keep practicing :D
that not holding w get me 20 kill streak cuz I can finally do that jumpy thing awesome video thx a lot! !
is slide hopping done with toggle crouch or press crouch?
You can use either one, it doesn't make a difference. Use the one that's easier for you :)
I stop moving if I don't hold down W while Slide hopping. What am I doing wrong? Also can't load a private custom game to practice
Are you even in the sliding animation? Sounds like you aren't
FrothyOmen
I hold down ctrl for the sliding animation. I'm pretty sure I'm in it
My ingame sensitivity is around 4.8
If i create a macro for that? isn't easy? i mean,there is a lot of mouses with macro on it.
easy, fast and you never miss a slide hop.
dafuq do you mean by "don't hold W" how am I supposed to forward then
You don't HAVE to hold forward when bunny hopping. In fact, it slows you down. Just Source Engine being Source Engine.
So basically the same as Warframe, got it!
Do i need stim to eject strafe?
+Benjamin Stratton to do it well, yes. It's been nerfed since then. It's better than nothing but honestly just pretty bad
...hopefully I can mimic this on a controller :/
Bagakoo Gamesager got you Console plebs covered.
Saw his video in my recommendations a while back, hardest thing to get use to (for me) is using O/B to melee after changing the controls. Too many times I've I ran up to an enemy and just crouched
Bagakoo Happens to the best, with standard PC controls I tend to meele instead of using my titans abilities.
dat kone pure optical. i
+Bree Peng :3
damn, i'm gonna have to get myself one.
0_0 FROTHY IS ALBINO
I can't remember if it was you who said they didn't like the Grappling hook, but if it were you, I'll say that it's a lot easier to use if you have it bound to a mouse button instead of Q where I tried it first.
Meh, these mechanics are just needlessly complicating the process and are only neccessary for the top 1% of the 1% of players. The main goal is to shoot stuff and get points. Having good aim like all other shooters is the ultimate ticket to high scores. Getting from point A to point B faster is just a means to the end of encountering the next gun fight. I find when I'm trying to do all these super complicated movement mechanics that I'm just not focusing on looking for enemies and aiming properly, and as a result I do much worse. I top almost all of my games without any of these techniques. I wouldn't advise overly complicating the game unless you plan to play Titanfall 2 competitively.
Set crouch to a thumb mouse button for a much easier time.
i just can't no matter how hard i try i jump then ctrl then i do the same thing but i move so slow and not i am not pressing w :c
Are you using hold to crouch or toggle crouch?
Thanks for the comment about not holding W
Daaaaamn... this is hard... my pinky hurts XD
everyone is saying your the greatest player
Well, thanks for the non-explanation, i want my 10 minutes back.
