Core Movement Techniques

1. Slideboosting – Initiating a slide from a sprint to gain momentum.
2. Slidehopping – Chaining jumps and crouches while maintaining momentum from slideboosts.
3. Air Strafing – Gaining speed and direction control mid-air by turning the camera and moving sideways.
4. Wall Kicks – Gaining a burst of speed by jumping off a wall within five ticks of initiating a wallrun.
5. Edge Boosts – Launching off the very end of a wallrun for bonus momentum.
6. End Boosts – Using the end animation of a wallrun for a speed increase.
7. Forced End Boosts – Forcing a wallrun to end early by pressing the opposite direction.
8. Tap Strafing – Performing sharp air turns by tapping W during an air strafe.
9. No Lurch Double Jumps (NLDJ) – Changing air strafe direction with perfect timing, avoiding speed loss.
10. No Lurch Wall Jumps (NLWJ) – Transitioning cleanly from wallruns to mid-air movement without speed penalties.
11. Strafe Kicks – Combining wall kicks with air strafing to preserve speed efficiently.
