The only thing speed has to do with mid air rocket kills is in how much you would lead. Which requires no more skill.

 

it's not just the leading, there's a higher chance that the target will switch directions. The more you are leading the target the more the target has a chance to change directions and completely screw up your shot. Also second jump and wall jumps in UT2004 really add to that.

Edit: It also means you are leading farther away while the person falls faster, thus you have a lot less time to get your shot straight than if you had to lead less.

Hence the higher dose of luck necessary. Unless you are a mind reader.

 

Just practice, people do similar things in similar split-second decisions so you learn to shoot where they will move to. Boy do I love those surprise shock combos.
