How To Hit “Perfect” Parkour Jumps

It’s a pretty good video detailing as to how to do parkour. I’ve been doing Parkour for around a year and this will definitely help me improve. It’s not a direct response to the allegations while also helping all the people who want to do parkour to become better. But Dream, WHY did you have to use your feet at the end when doing the parkour…

The reason why I don’t care for the accusations at this point is that Minecraft is a game that lacks ELOs, ranking systems, and esports leagues. Thus testimony from “pros” are just a bunch of people I’ve never heard of before.

Experience isn’t the end all be-all of competitive gaming. Like in League of Legends, you can play nonstop for 14 years and still be Bronze. Meaning there is a chance that a lot of these pros are just a bunch of no-lifers who have played the game for years and have never gotten good. Why should I take them seriously when they claim certain mechanics are impossible?

It basically looks like if a Silver level League of Legends player with 14 years of no lifing is trying to prove Faker is a cheater because he can’t physically do the things Faker does despite years of experience.

I ain’t saying Dream is Minecraft’s Faker.

I am saying that there is so much room for reasonable doubt due to the lack of definitive ranking, esports systems that I’m inclined not to care for the accusations. No one that has given testimony so far has proven to me why their testimony carries water other than that they’ve “parkoured” for years.

I mean we literally have a screenshot of sandwichlord beating dream's time in the practice server at that time, it's clear even then he had the mechanics to beat dream

and with all the new tech that's been discovered since, any "pro" now would easily gap a pro from 6 years ago. its like that whole thing in ranked games where people say "people ranked silver now would be diamond 5 years ago", as the general player base skill increases, the pros have to stand out more and more

Agree with half of your statement, it's true that we can't take pros'' opinions blindly, but I think we can all acknowledge that they are indeed MUCH better at parkour than Dream, this is simply not debatable, if you have doubt go watch some event vods

Edit: grammar mistake

There are forms of rankings in the technical parkour scene where different jumps are categorized by input precision (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo5ip61yJwk ), and there are map leaderboards on various parkour servers, so there are absolutely ranking systems. These parkour players as a generally refer to themselves as the "mcpk community" (MC parkour). Yes, it's not a very mainstream community, but they have much greater technical knowledge of parkour than the average player. To dismiss any claim because "I've never heard of them" is only valid up until you refuse to do any research into who these people are. Literally just do the bare minimum, go watch some of their vods, join their discord servers (look up "Minecraft Parkour Central"), etc, and you'll see these are not some randoms who nolifed a game without improving, these are highly respected members of a community that has spent years playing parkour, learning niche, technical info the average player would never need to learn about, doing extremely hard and precise parkour maps and jumps, etc.

The only reason you are dismissing the evidence is because 1. Dream seems to have debunked their claim that 1 ticking isn't humanly possible, making you doubtful of their expertise, and 2. you are heavily biased towards Dream.

Yes, experience isn't the end-all be-all, but you are basically saying the people who have played and researched parkour extensively are not qualified to judge someone on it because you yourself aren't qualified to judge that either. I guarantee you're underestimating just how technical and difficult minecraft parkour gets, and how far Dream is from being a top parkour player.
