Great offensive move.  I do it all the time!  Works even better with air dynamics.

Godam... Y u gotta be exposing this secret xac . Though I am surprised many people haven't figured it out yet...

In some situations this is second nature.
IIRC h0B0 made a video about this almost a year ago.

YEp, and since months they don't fix that bug (or even years)

I am so glad you only are on the US servers Xacius, would destroy my MMR if you played on UK.

Oh, that's from my IRC channel that I use to display chat on my livestream.  The video feed was taken from my Twitch.tv page.

True, but with the Ascension patch the weapon raise time after boost was increased substantially (by about 1sec), making the maneuver even more useful.

Oh it did_ Never noticed.

I love doing this, and if you roll Air Dynam you can move right into an air dodge or something similar. It is even more effective against C's as you can use it to pull a rollover and slam em in their...Exposed bottom.

Apparently I need to break down and edit some files so I can get an extended repair view which isn't cheating for some reason despite it not being fully available to everyone unless they edit files.

I still don't understand this logic.

Welcome to FPS gaming over the last 10+ years. Editing ini or other startup settings is worse in other games. For the love of god you can change the directx used in counter-strike, have objects disappear as soon as theyre shot or killed, along with a billion other changes. I really wish they would lock the repair cam and give us 120 fov in the game menu, lock it off so players have to know it will distort the view of the game.

There are a whole lot of tricks. There should be a tips a tricks thread dedicated to these kinds of maneuvers.

• the 90 degree back dash
  
• canceling the dodge cooldown by boosting and vis-versa (the L-dodge)
  
• adding -/+ a few degrees during the 180 turn by moving your mouse in/against the direction you are turning to better position your reticle. (Although this one might all be in my head).

Not glad here

With the most recent patch, they removed the ability to do this. Even if you jump right after boosting, you still have to wait for your weapons to raise. Hit me really hard in the A mechs. No more heat cannon hopping for me. Oh well, it was a great trick while it lasted.

[McBonY]

I used this while playing Tech. Now it's damn hard to repair A classes, and even B's tend to escape my beam while i try to stay alive without boosting. But that's ok, healing is just a bit more challenging now.

Yeah, no kidding. The hopping heal was one of the best moves a tech could learn, but now we can no longer do it... (sadface)
