BHOP
/bē - häp/
verb
Short for "bunny-hop," BHOP is a technique used in some video games where the player jumps at specific intervals as they're moving. First discovered in the late 1990s in the game Quake, b-hopping while air strafing allowed players to gain speed and momentum. Players began mastering frame-perfect jumps while air strafing from side to side to increase their velocity within the game engine. As players completed each jump, their speed increased, allowing them to move faster than the programmed running speed.
BHOP Esports is a video game community center that sponsors competitive esports teams, builds local communities, and unites global gamers. Similar to an arcade, BHOP offers PC, new and retro Consoles, VR, StepManiaX, and more starting at $3/hr. Terms and conditions apply.
