The Thwifo Cone is a staple build for competitive players, and today I'll show you a simple way by only placing walls and cones.
To practice this move we'll need to establish correct muscle memory as we add each part. Start by standing about a third of the way up your ramp. Turn to the right and jump while placing a wall, then do a counter-clockwise motion to connect the other 3 walls.
From here we can practice adding cones. It's important to remember to avoid pulling down on our crosshair prior to placing the far cone as to not block ourselves at the top of the ramp. This will take practice, but remember to keep a smooth transition from the counter-clockwise movement of the walls into the slow pull of the cone drag for consistency.
Once we've developed the pattern of holding forward, jumping, placing four walls, placing three cones, and landing near the top of our ramp, we can do a simple edit of the bottom cone into a ramp with a top cone edit to follow.
This is the general hand motion.
Using cones grants us opportunities to engage in protected forward jumps, otherwise known as Kosh cones.
You'll notice how I'm placing a wall and flat prior to engaging in a cone jump for additional protection and support.
Placing a wall through a cone isn't too difficult once we become comfortable with the range of grid snapping. The unfamiliar part of this sequence will be to immediately follow the wall placement with a flat placement under the cone, but prior to jumping. Doing so gives us a greater structural foundation to build upon while using this technique in real fights. Many players fall into the bad habit of editing a full side of their flat to place a wall through the cone. This defeats the purpose of placing the flat entirely, as a single cone is the only supporting build piece of the succeeding structure.
