Welcome! This page tells you all about Miscellaneous Skills, in other words, skills that might not have much effect in gameplay, or assisting skills.

Rocket Jumping (RJ)
A Rocket Jump (RJ) or Blast Jump is performed when a player tries to bring the rocket (usually a spawn) under their feet and try to launch themselves onto another platform. This skill is unique in certain maps such as Spacebox A1 (tfdb_spacebox_a1) or Spacebox A5 (tfdb_spacebox_a5) and also Gym (tfdb_gym). These maps have a secret platform located on the sides of each corner, allowing players to gain the "upper" hand.

It is also unique in Float (tfdb_float) as it allows players to directly cross from one platform to another team's platform with ease.

Unfortunately, with the health of the only playable character being significantly low, chance of fall damage to occur is high and it might kill the player.

The Crouch Jug
A Crouch Jug is like a normal jug, but by showing off your expertise, instead of the normal 100% speed you get from standing up, you get a lower % speed from ducking, hence showing that you can do superior juggles than average players, but this juggle proves to be of no effect whatsoever as the juggling rate is too slow for juggling rockets exceeding 3 air-blasts.

Black Hole
A Black Hole is a technique that creates a loop for the rocket to travel around 2 opposing players. It's preformed when 2 opposite players stand very close to eachother, facing away, around >45° left or right from the opponent and airblasting the rocket. When both players work together, The rocket will loop around the opposing player where it can airblasted again. This works at higher speed due to slow rockets not wrapping around the player fast enough. Rockets will tend to redirect if it's not a 1v1. This is purely for fun as it can easily be sabotaged by either player.

(Black Hole edit by HeyIt'sPanda - 1. This edit is completely individual and detattached from the creator of wiki and will be taken down if requested. 2. There is a lack of videos covering this and I have a hazy memory of it due to only learning it years ago, so if it turns out this isn't a technique at all or doesn't contain valid information then I will remove this. 3. I will thankfully update this if there's anybody who can prove this technique does exist and can work until a certain point.)
