Skillz test #4 highlight reel ----------------------------- Edited by Yonatan Donner This is just a highlight reel I made for skillz test #4 from the 15 or so demos I liked most. You get to see lots of grenade jumps, with extra emphasis on the coolest ones, and lots of fiend gibbing... running time is 2:35. I didn't add a soundtrack to it for two reasons: I wanted to keep it a .dem file and not a .pak file, and I didn't want it to take a lot of diskspace. So I hope you can listen to your favorite CD while playing it :) Some background information about me and skillz test #4... when I first discovered the two main tricks in the level (the gold key grenade jump and the fiend trick) I told the other Quake done Quick guys about them and I was sure it was impossible to combine both in one demo, it was all so hard back then! Later I improved in both and got the time down from 1 minute to the 0:43 currently in QdQ version 1. We always wanted to do a contest in this map because it is so hard to make the jump and get a good cooperation from the fiend, and I always wanted to see more people do those tricks, and skillz test #4 made it happen... I hope you'll enjoy the reel as I enjoyed making it, because it summarizes all the stuff I wanted to see people do optimally :) We always knew about the second grenade jump but didn't think it was worth the risk... only for the contest I started trying it and saw it was quite easy. Also we never threw the first grenade so fast. I tried getting the most stylish, cool and unique parts of the demos to show really how many ways there are to do tricks that seem simple...
