Its simple, really. Flayra just thought it fit, the image of skulks leaping down corridors at marines... I mean, look at how skulks are built, I would assume that when they jump, their legs push off, which leads to amore horizontal jump than a verticle one.. as for the rest of the aliens, gorges need at least a little chance for running away.. even if they make their squashy little jumping noise, fades can blink and the way that onos gain speed while running makes it impossible to bhop usfully because you would be thrown back to your lowest speed everytime you jumped. and lerk.. Well, they couldn't bhop to begin with <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Can Oni bhop? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
Seeing as how it's been decided that bunnyhopping skulks are okay, I decided that perhaps I'd better practice this little trick.
So I load up a lan game, taking a look at the tutorial that was posted I try and do the strafe+turn+jump thing. And sure enough, I start moving, and not just side to side.. yet.. strangely.. I seem to be bunnyhopping backwards.
I somehow don't think it's intended to attack the marines butt first.
Though that might be awful scary if done with a gorge.. "Agh! Rikishi attack!" <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
Decreasing speed after ALien jump would be stupid, but leaving the bunny hopping (remember its an engine-glitch as you said = exploit) active is not nice. I mean, if you wanna be fast, go get celerity. Or should we all then learn to BH? It would be like learning to aim better as marine... Anyway, I dont care ;p

Thing: despite the fact that it's "another one of those threads", our good man ele here is trying to share knowledge he possesses with other members of the community that wish to partake of that knowledge.
Bhopping will be a useless skill on the marine side in 2.0, but as an alien, it still exists. Some people will view it as an exploit, others a skill...
But please, refrain from raggin on a man simply because he wants to help others to learn. You'd be suprised at how many people ask "how do I do <x skill> or use <x ability>" simply because the entire world doesn't know how to use the search functions on the ns forums (as the main button fails to work with internet explorer) and google.

If you're using bunnyhopping to avoid getting shot at as a skulk... you really shouldn't be playing skulk.

If you can't deal with bunnyhopping, don't play 2.0.
I'm sure there will be servers like that.
