Quote from: Anubis on May 03, 2013, 03:34 PMAnus, you are losing it man. If this were true high jumpers would take off from two feet. They do not. If this were true long jumpers would take off with two feet. They don't. Either they havent been informed that they can jump with two feet and jump higher and longer, or you have been grossly misinformed. And btw this thread needs derailing, and if we can make it about basketball, all the better.Quote from: TheWalrus on May 03, 2013, 03:36 AMYou are wrong, I used to be a basketball addict, why would I make an analogy off of something I have no idea about. In my teens I was religiously performing jumping exercises to push my vertical jump.Quote from: Anubis on May 03, 2013, 02:08 AMHe's inferring that you can jump higher off of one foot than two, physically demonstrated best by a basketball layup, which is absolutely and unequivocally correct. Anus would know this if he watched basketball. Which you should, Kai.
I do, can you answer my question now please.
On this novella of a topic, everyone using a script like this should be hunted down and caned. Except Anubis, he already has had 10 years of backlash under his belt.
Two feet will push you off the ground higher. Jumping has everything to do with your legs. Hence why players rarely jump off one leg for a jumpshot, because they need the elevation using both feet to get up higher. They only take one step jumps when they need that extra step to get to the basket for a layin or dunk.
Here is a video with Gerald Green, currently (to my knowledge) the player in the NBA with the highest vertical jump, look at his jumping technique:
and now read this little copy from wiki about vertical jumps, it explains why you jump higher with both:
An important component of maximizing height in a vertical jump is attributed to the use of counter-movements of the legs and arm swings prior to take off, as both of these actions have been shown to significantly increase the body's center of mass rise. The counter-movement of the legs, a quick bend of the knees which lowers the center of mass prior to springing upwards, has been shown to improve jump height by 12% compared to jumping without the counter-movement. This is contributed to the stretch shortening cycle of the leg muscles enabling the muscles to create more contractile energy. Furthermore, jump height can be increased another 10% by executing arm swings during the take off phase of the jump compared to if no arm swings are utilized. This involves lowering the arms distally and posteriorly during the leg counter-movements, and powerfully thrusting the arms up and over the head as the leg extension phase begins. As the arms complete the swinging movement they pull up on the lower body causing the lower musculature to contract more rapidly, hence aiding in greater jump height.
As you can see, to maximize height you will need to perform actions which are impossible to do while running and jumping off one foot.
Btw @ Wally/van: Let's not further derail this thread with basketball I just had to reply to this because it was quite an insult to me to believe I have no idea about b-ball/vertical jumps. xD

thanks for all the updates impo. i think im going to make this the first day 1 purchase of a game in years. looks like it will be worth the wait, finally giving me what i want. i wasnt so much of a fan of GTA 4 as I was San Andreas because of the variable terrain and wide variety of drivable vehicles. looks like there is going to be a lot of San Andreas-like sandbox design in this installment.

April 29, 2013, 11:18 AM
i bought worms 2 armageddon for my xbox its pretty fun to play with the non hardcore worms peeps. worms ultimate mayhem was brainless fun, probably will pick up worms revolution eventually. are they good games? likely not, but good for a go once or twice. was actually entertained by worms ultimate mayhem but there isnt much depth to the game.

MH looks great. Cryengine 3 looks like an industry leader now, with Crytek creating a absolutely stunning Crysis 3. I can't get over how good it looks. I don't like fantasy shit though. Give me a post apocalyptic game like Fallout. Sure, skyrim is a great game, but i frown on wizardry
