OCG Question

JoshBritish

One of the rules states that "exploiting movement bugs is not allowed"

The only thing that comes to mind when reading that is the s-hop. Is the Chinese Strafe considered exploiting movement bugs? It's something in the game that's changed. Originally there was sound when you did it and tapping the w or s button didn't skip the sound (This was when barely anyone knew about it) then later on it changed and you're silent when you do the Chinese strafe. I think it's part of the game and they changed it, just let me know what you think.

I consider Chinese-strafing to be a movement bug, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes.

That's not a movement exploit..

It's just my opinion. Not sure what it's stance is as far as the rules go.

JoshBritish

Yeah I'm curious and want to know if it is or not.

If it's a movement exploit every game that's already been played in OCG doesn't count.

Then I take it that it's allowed. Or else we wouldn't have ran successfully completed tournaments.

Ok, so here's the general rundown of "movement exploits." This is the reason I hate it when leagues get lazy and don't bother defining this crap.

Please note that this is NOT an official stance taken by OCG, only the general rule of thumb in the past about this stuff. Normally I'm the only one that gives a crap anyways.

Bunnyhopping/Double Jumping - Legal
(Jumping slightly before your character hit the ground, in order to gain height and/or avoid the sound loop and remain silent)

Asian Walking/K-Walking - Legal
(Strafing while tapping forwards/backwards/walk to cancel the sound loop and be silent)

K-Jumping - Legal
(Diagonal movement from a crouching/walking state to silently full speed jump)

S(auce)-Hopping - Legal
(Starting a BunnyHop by falling off a ladder in order to have multi-directional air-accel)

Prog Boosting - Legal
(Jumping off a crouched player's head, then jumping off the same players head again after he has jumped into the air.)

Lag Jumping - Illegal
(Holding W+S against a wall and jumping, in order to trick the game into merging your character with the box to allow for extra height gain)

Fly Glitching/Triple Jumping - Illegal
(Exploiting lag/client based movement to merge two character models and allows them to jump off one another to gain impossible height)

Slingshotting/Teleporting - Illegal
(Using slopes to force the game into queuing up a TON of downward force, then unleashing it all at once to shoot your character model in a direction)

I might have missed some, but that's a good guide to go by. Let me know if anything else comes to mind, and if someone on OCG would provide a more defined ruleset in the future it'd be appreciated.

Anything that involves FPS manipulation is typically considered illegal as well.
