Maybe your portal game is different from mine, but I don't seem to have a sprint button - or a rocket launcher.

When you run straight ahead and jump, in Portal, you essentially "sprint" for the brief moment that the jump lasts. Which is why Portal speed runs are always done jumping (even if it's not even real bunny jumping).

I'm not sure what Mr2VC refers to with "circle jumping" though, unless it's basic air control?

Yeah mainly its all Control within air, and maneuvering just right. Its alot really, but even without Rockets its all something basic within Hl2 Code.

Not exactly related to flinging, but I find this interesting. I'd like to know how this technique works.

I've tried and tried, and I can't pull it off.

Crouch jumping backwards seems to be the technique, but I haven't been able to pull it off yet.

The 18min portal speed run uses it quite a lot.
