Triple grenade boost

Not sure if this has been done before, or even discussed over before, but I had a cool inkling while watching The Rabbit Run. I think it's possible to pull off a triple grenade speed boost. As an example, you could launch a grenade at the wall so it bounces back towards you, then when it explodes, shoot an enemy with a grenade. Obviously that gives you a major speed boost. But the direction you're intending to go, fire a grenade before you launch your initial first two grenades. While you go rocketing forward at an insane speed, the third grenade will detonate at your ass and send you rocketing even farther, faster. This would probably be pretty hard to pull off, but it may be useful in some areas, especially if you have a lot of health you don't necessarily want Wink

Just my idea, what do you all think? Grin

Well, it would be fun to see, but I can't think of any situations where it would be actually useful.

Just an idea I had for e4m3. Those long hallways have potential Tongue

Although, I'm not sure how well quad damage would mingle with all this successfully, unless it's skipped. If that's the case, once you get the gold key, you could use this triple boost. First the one off the roof, firing one ahead of you, then shooting a monster with a nade, then of course getting hit by the third grenade.

I dunno, I just see tonnes of potential for e4m3. But this isn't the possible improvements forum now is it? Wink

Merely just suggesting this cool trick.

well theoretically the best way to do it would be to throw a grenede onto the ground next to a monster, then perform a double grenede jump of that monster (like the one in Peter's recent e2m3_015 for qdqwav2) as the first grenede explodes

would take some incredible timing Smiley

the triple grenade boost'll be wicked in a run Smiley

i wouldn't mind seeing it in an egg.dem

a double GJ may outway it becuase of the wait for the first grenade, depending on the space you're trying to cover. but then again, there's peter's e4m8_149 for Qd100Ql2, with all the small spaces he covered with the 8+ quad GJs.

Navigator recently made a trick demo which shows him triple grenade jumping from the vore at the bottom of e2m6 to the top of the oubliette. While it's not a boost, it does give you some indication to how much thrust the trick gives you.
Ask him for it. Smiley

Hello.

www.geocities.com/navigatorthe/demos.zip

Those are the demos that Lag.Com is talking about. In this file are a triple grenade jump up the lift in E2M6, a triple grenade jump up to the top level in E3M6, and an experimental quadruple grenade jump in E3M6.
