The man everyone speaks about, the one and only Bibo. Yes I've chosen him as my next target because he has really proved himself good, lately beating the longstanding world record. He has released 2 movies, which both have been earth shaking. He really is breaking boundaries. I've had a little talk with this guy. I think we needed that - And he deserved it.
Interview with Bibo
Hello Bibo, can you start out by introducing yourself, what you do and how is a normal day in your life?
Im Michael Cote Rivest, I’m 15 and I live in Quebec which is the only province that speaks french in Canada. Well I go to school, 10th grade, it sux . When I come back, around 4:30 my time, you guys are all sleepin, so i just play for fun.. other than that I skate outside sometimes, I have some animals.. I spend the most time of my life doing homework tho >.< we've been remaking stuff in my house too.. so basically I havent done anything in the summer and I wont do shit this year rofl
Okay, where does KZ come into your life?
About like.. dunno, a few years ago, when the strafes weren’t invented, I used to kz with my brother and my cousin.. in kz_dimensions_b02, not sure if I spelled it right tho. After like a month I finally finished the map I was so happy! Then I took a break from kz, played some reg-cs and surf, played wow for a while -_- then i came back to surfing, I’m a pretty good surfer, and then I found out what Xtreme-Jumps was
What about today, do you play KZ on an active level?
Meh, I’m not addicted to it, but when im bored yea i try to record some maps that I GOT YESTERDAY BUT THE MOTHER****ING 0 HP BUG SCREWED MY PERFECT RUN AT THE END **** THAT. I play some hns, I just got into a serious reg-cs team too... and ofc, I love surfin So like I play kz 1-3 hours a day on weekends, sometimes I don’t during the week
So how did you become so good at longjumping?
Well I don’t know lol.. I guess surfing gave me some phat strafes, cuz the day I started, I saw that longjump guide, so I watched it a few times in slowmo and shit, then I downloaded T3ds demo, Nicos, soul|ftw's l0ws and wys. I watched them about 25 times in slowmotion, all of them, I saw what was the difference and y like wy got 254.9 and the others didnt and shit... So I started longjumping for a few hours and the day I found out then I practiced alot
Okay, so after watching these longjump kings, did you find a favourite, perhaps an idol?
Well at first I was all impressed by soul|ftw, I was like :O He can do 250 non-stop and shit, but then I started longjumping with T3d like a month ago in his server, and really enjoyed that, and even if I did 255 and he didn’t, he’s still my idol and he’s still the best for me (I still like soul tho
Why T3dBundy?
Cuz.. probably like every other jumpers.. he’s good in everything, he can do whatever he wants, and I love his longjumps, thats mainly why I learned from his demo
Do you feel that you sometimes stand in his shade, and always get's compared to him? If yes, why?
Yes, like on my 255 news post, alot of ppl are callin me the best longjumper and shit, but that’s still T3d in my eyes...
But you did the new worldrecord, you are the best longjumper, you are almost number 1 in every longjump category, don't you ever feel it's time to release yourself from the T3d status, don't you want to prove to everyone that you are better than him, if you are?
Well im pretty sure T3d could do it if he wants, same for bhops, cjs are stupid and highjumps are longjumps -13 units.. so if hes a good longjumper he can do all that shit, and i really like jumpin with him in his listen, and each time i spec him im like wow :O .. as i said earlier, hes still the best in my eyes, and I dont want to prove anything
Do you have a favorite demo-recorder guy?
Brian because I really like his jumpin style, and when I talk to him he’s all cool with me and stuff, and he could be #1 without problems
So you think Brian could beat zhady?
Of course, just gotta have the time to geek (I’m not sayin that zhady has no life tho
Who do you see as best upcommer?
Dude I remember seeing Messing as like the guy in kzm that wasnt known, but now he keeps recording records and shit, he’s way better than me
So how do you define a good jumper? The person who can do a lot of good demos or is longjumping/bhopping most important?
A good jumper is a guy who can beat records like cliffez under 0145 easily.. if you can get world records but u cant get any close to the wr in cliffez, you’re bad! Longjumping isn’t important, like 250 is fine. Bhops.. you gotta get close to goldbhops wr Any1 with a good comp could beat a low fps map without a problem but when it comes to a good record they just cant... also, in my opinion, knowing alot about CS engine makes you a good jumper, personally, I always study my jumps to see whats the better technique
So who has the best style?
Brian
What is your goal with KZ? In the latest year you have been the one pushing the boundaries, do you have something you NEED to accomplish?
Not at all, I don’t want to prove anything, I don’t want to do anything, I just play KZ for fun
Where will you be in the future, active?
Ill be around.. but yesterday I got really ****in pissed off at kz so I don’t think I’m gonna try to record in the next week But ill still be around on the website, I cant live without forums.
What map was it?
kz_kzdk_kosovo, i had a PERFECT run, most of the shortcuts too, and there’s a longjump-dropdown shortcut at the end, I did it, I got 0 ****in hp so my keys got messed up and i fell, but i was done too, that was the last jump -_-
What do you think about this whole community Xtreme-Jumps?
It's a cool community, cool shit going around like the challenges, weeklies, interviews .. of course there’s some stupid ppl that post crap in the forums.. like that one posted a 248 longjump in the jump thread.. it got deleted instantly but like in every communities there’s idiots..
What do you think about circle strafes?
I used to do circle strafes myself.. I use them alot while surfing too, dunno why, its a cool style
What is the benefits of circling?
None, its worse cuz you get some frames without acceleration (I think), but its easier to sync, so its better for a guy who is starting
How many units do you think is possible to jump, what is the limit?
256 is possible fo sure.. I’ve done it on stats.. 257.. eh it's possible but maybe not doable!
What is your STAT record?
257.05 with the older kzm stats which werent perfect. 256.05 with the 100% ones
What is your CJ STAT record?
264.xx on my 261 sideways, again the older stats
If you could give some advices to people that just started longjumping, what would you tell them?
Watch good demos, like 3-4 in slowmotion, then record like a 250 even tho u know u cant, when u get close you just watch the demo and compare it to the other good demos to see what is wrong.. most important things to watch are: good prestrafe, big first strafe, nice not-so-big strafes, do not **** up your last strafe by doing some crazy shit, and do not crouch too early. thats what i did on my 255, if you watch my demo you'll se that my server has been up for 1:51, thats cuz i watched myself failing before
So what mouse do you have?
I’ve had a mx510 forever, I’ve been playing on my desk, I’ve done 254 with it, but then about a month ago my comp broke so i ordered a new one with a g5 I’ve had it for a month, I’ve done 255 with it, and yesterday I got a nice mouse pad
Sensivity?
1.5
Windows sensitivty?
6/11
Monitor HZ?
60
What is your random SYNC?
I never, NEVER, watched that. I NEVER longjumped with /ljstats on, cuz its just stupid.
Why are they stupid?
Just watch my 255: low prestrafe, low maxspeed, but I did 255. Sometimes I cant do 240 cuz i just woke up and then I’m gonna do it with like 252 stats then I’m gonna move on to 241 and i wont be able to do it, and I’m not gonna say like "yea I jumped 252 this morning" I’m gonna say "yea I failed at longjumping this morning"
7 or 8 strafes?
7 on my 255, 8 the day after where I got 256, if I cant feel 8 strafes I’m just gonna do 7, but if I feel 8, which happened twice in my life, well im gonna do 8!
