    Regarding reaction times there is actually a scientific study that tested the reaction time and grip strength of a diverse groupset of gender and age, which had a few outliers that suggest that older people can have fast reaction times and dexterity, and the correlation was that the few older people that had a higher grip strength had just as fast reaction time and precision as the younger participants, and on average the younger participants had a higher gripstrength.
    No one really does strength exercises for grip strength, so most players are just working out their muscles in game playing nonstop for 14hours a day, and if their passion for grinding the game dies as they get older the muscles in their forearm start atrophying.
    Also, people disrespect the effect our gear has on reaction time. When I was 21 playing CSGO I had something terrible like 220ms, I actually had RSI and stopped playing CSGO for 2 years around 24yrs old, and after that I upgraded my gear and put conscious effort into strength training/improving ergonomics, and now at 29yrs old my average reaction time is 145ms.
    Something interesting I learned from upgrading my gear is how my brain operates differently with lower latency gear. Litterally just going from 144hz to 240hz monitor made such a huge difference that on 144hz I was heavily relying on my brain to predict where the enemy would go and aim ahead. On 240hz all of a sudden my aiming got transferred from the active prediction side of my brain into my subconcious. I now aim and shot people automatically, it basically feels like someone else is aiming for me and I am just watching.
    Its important to not get this confused though. I’m not saying that monitor hertz rate is the key to improving reaction time, latency is a chain and if one point of the chain is weak all the rest feels bad. The only reason I had such a big jump in aimstyle was because the rest of my gear was already low latency, with like 500fps, and a highly optimized operating system with a low number of programs running on startup, to give a sense of how optimized my setup is my ping in Valorant doesn’t fluctuate and sits permanently at 8ms. Also not all high hz monitors are the same, high hz doesn’t guarantee a low latency. The monitor I bought had one of the lowest latencies.
    Its not good enough to just buy the most expensive gear because my gear is usually somewhere in the mid tier of price, I don’t own a single bleeding edge item, and often times the bleeding edge or most expensive items don’t have the lowest latency.
    At the end of the day gear is all about becoming comfortable with your mechanical skill at a subconscious level so your brain can focus on other things. Even if you have the best gear you still need to put the time into practice so your subconscious is able to instantly know how to react in all situations.

      @@wtsuser Muscles react faster if you train them, that is just an objective fact. The muscle controlling the tendons to click a button are the same ones used in grip strength.
      Also you can fuck right off with that testosterone bullshit. Grip strength is one of the few athletic disciplines where age doesn't matter, when trained properly grip strength keeps improving over time. Odd Haugen is living proof of this, at age 73 he is still breaking grip strength world records.

      When i was 21 I had a laptop with 50 fps when they were no smoke or molly and 15 fps when they were a smoke and a molly. Still I went to global elite and because of my apptitude of fragging and winning all my duel and I was a clutchmaster (I had the same feeling you have on 240hz it was like automatic for me). but I wasnt able to lead a game I was more the soldier. Now im 28 bought a really good gaming pc and I can barely do good in "nova" elo but I understand way more thing about the game just im losing most of my duel aha but I can lead now at least or coach young talent. I think its because when i was young it was like I saw a pixel of a color of an enemy I flick toward it instantly and shoot and ask question later. Now im overthinking too much and thats maybe why my reaction time is longer is due to me using conscious brain instead of my unconscious like when i was young but its been 3 years and I didnt manage to fix it. Im at a point im giving up and just gonna play for fun. I dont think it matter of a gear (even if a good gear can help a lil bit) but a matter of your mentality and the warrior inside you. When I was 21 I was at my prime of skill level and I was "young" I wanted to prove to everyone what I was capable and that I was better and I wanted so bad to win that I have my survival instinct in clutch situation. Now I think I grow up so I dont have this mentality anymore and thats might be one of the reason I do everything consciously now instead of inconsciously. When I was kid i wanted so bad to win that sometimes i could see everything in slow motion because i was DEAD FOCUS on the game but relying on my inconscious and automatism. I think mental/motivation is what really matter.

    the part where they're discussing using high or low sens 23:00 onwards to develop different parts of mouse control (finger vs wrist / arm) is very interesting, and made me realize I hardly use my fingers at all to aim. trying out mini's aimlabs workshop stuff for micro corrections and also strafe headshots to get better.
    for now I bumped my sens up to try and develop more finger control (been on medium sens .32 800 dpi on val for 2 years)

    39:58 - That's actually a myth in itself. People presenting it as "Input delay" are misreading the results. They're seeing higher DPI registering movement faster, but it happens because lower DPI ignores very small inputs until the threshold between "dots"/"counts" is crossed. Once the input crosses the threshold, the time it takes to materialize on the monitor is the same.
    The real benefit of higher DPI stems from high refresh rate monitors. You only fully reap their benefits with sufficient mouse DPI. With them your eye is able to register high DPI movement as more smooth and realistic and this should help your reaction and hand-eye coordination. On 400 DPI you would probably sometimes feel like you're playing on lower refresh rate. That is, during slower mouse movements some frames would pass without a visual change because you haven't crossed the threshold for mouse position to change.

    3.Usually if you focus on what you are weak at you will automaticly get better at everything.

      Rapha never used any of these programs and he's the goat. Simply because clicking on dots won't help you other than with sniping a nonmoving target with a hitscan weapon while camping. But there is much more than this to aiming like positioning and different types of weapons (tracking, projectile or combination of both)...

  • @KiLVaiDeN

    Great interview, thanks !
    I would like to provide additional tips, just in case you might read this (I am top 1000 aimlabs ranked and had many top 100 scores on popular scenarios on kovaaks) :
    - Screen distance and height : in order to find the "perfect" screen distance for your vision, you could try playing a scenario with tiny targets, and alternate by hiding one eye, then the other. You will notice if you see the targets clearly or blured with one eye, and then adjust the screen distance or height in such a way that the blur is gone. Never heard of this tip, but I find it interesting.
    - Training with one eye : Consecutively to the previous tip, training 10 scenarios with one eye, then switching to the other, might give you some hints and help for eye movement. Once you use both eyes again, you'll be able to appreciate the training, give it a try ;)
    - Training with very tiny targets : often in aim trainers, you have scenarios which have copies called "mini". Those scenarios are interesting because they will push you more into your limits, I advice you play those.
    - Nothing was said about arm/elbow/shoulder position in relation to mousepad, some people say it's good to have 90° angle on your elbow and shoulder, but I'm not sure if it's relevant for all. I believe that what you need to check is that you are able to move your mouse easily across the mousepad.
    - Don't be lazy : if you want to compete at high level, you need to use a sens that is "challenging" in such a way that it requires you to make fast motions. If you plan on becoming really good, having a "lazy aim" like using a very high sens to have minimal movement involved is not going to pay off because you will be much less consistent.
    - About crosshair color : as it was said, you have to be able to "see" your crosshair in your peripheral vision, and you have to test every color to see which one is more visible to you. Often, green is a good choice, but cyan and red (with yellow target) might be also good options. You have to test and see what's best for your preferences.
    - FPS limiting : often, specially if you don't have a 20k $ hardware, your hardware can give you FPS up to a certain point. You don't want to push your hardware to this max, because in the middle of fast actions, your FPS will inevitably drop. You have to see on each of the games you play, what is the "minimum FPS in action", and then, limit your FPS to that. This will make it much more consistent for your aim, because you'll be used to aim on any situation with a consistent FPS.
    - Finding a perfect sens is not possible, unless you play a game which always requires the same kind of movements. In a game like Overwatch, every hero has a different range of motion which makes it impossible to find a "perfect sens" to play them all. So you might very well decide to chose between 3 kinds of sens, a slow one for precise aiming and long distance, a mid one for spray aiming and medium distance, and a fast sens for high mobility heroes which don't require much precision.
    - Lastly I would like to talk about tracking vs flicking : in games like CS or Valorant, flicking is more important, in games like Overwatch, many heroes profit from tracking skills. You have to train both (and switching as well) in order to improve overall, and not only focus on one type of aiming. You could notice that tracking a fast target or a slow target might be very difficult with your actual sens, even if it works good for flicking, which means that you have to be aware of that, and either pick a different tracking sens, or change your flicking sens accordingly. I was a bit surprised about what was said about muscle memory : I don't see it as a meme. It's really true that if you get used to a given sens by playing it consistently, and even if you encounter tiny differences with humidity on the mousepad and such, you will improve on that sens. It's the same with acceleration, which for me is a proof : if you train and play a lot with acceleration, you'll get used to it, you'll develop "muscle memory" (but it should be called brain memory, right?). So taking my previous tip into consideration, it means you should probably, depending on the game/heroes you play, find 3 senses and train them independently.
    Hope this helps someone :)
    PS : I'm 44yo with 20 years XP in FPS games. I've played thousands of hours, and my reaction time is 150ms average ^^

    • @KiLVaiDeN
      @KiLVaiDeN ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@jsav9904 The idea behind hiding one eye after the other is to enable you to notice your ideal screen distance by comparing at which distance your eyes feel the most comfortable.
      There is nothing better than using both eyes in order to have a good vision, by looking with only one eye you are limiting yourself EVEN if one of your eyes has a poor sight. Don't forget that by using only one eye you are not only blinding some of your peripheral vision but also you are only seeing in "2D".
      There are ways to improve eye sight, some of them contested, some others "medical" (seeing an eye doctor and getting lenses) so I suggest you do some research on those subjects, specifically "eye training" methods to improve eyesight which might help you.

    For those still looking for a ‘perfect sens’ despite watching this (aka wants sens that works for all games for all aiming scenarios which is virtually impossible), try to find a sens that falls in the range that utilizes hybrid posture. When in this posture, you end up using arms for longer movements and fingertips/wrists for small fine movement
    For best of both worlds without sacrifice, although it won’t magically change your skill floor, mouse accel offers the greatest skill ceiling

      An example of this is wingman shots in apex. Most good players flick, shoot, then actually move off the target a fixed, practiced distance, and flick back on. This is done on every shot, and it’s so they can see, as the ironsight obstructs the target. But that fixed distance we flick off then back on is so ingrained, if someone is standing still or strafing in one direction at a consistent speed, I could do it with my eyes closed.

    Can attest to focusing on the target instead of the crosshair. Used to play a lot of Battlefield 3, and at some point I started playing a lot of team deathmatch, and forcing myself to only no-scoping/hip-firing bolt action rifles. Got pretty consistent one-shotting headshots at low to medium ranges, all by focusing on the target. I also notice that after a few beers, I hit targets easier in CS, and it is likely due to focusing more on motion than detail.

    When you're on the aim journey and finally learn it's okay to switch your sensitivity, because your practice has made you become so adaptable in mouse control, there's really no better feeling. It's like seeing your abs for the first time lmao.

  • @sharpiefps7630

    One of the reasons people are reluctant to pick up aim trainers is the absence of aim trainers' users in the competitive scene. The one's who play AimLab are sponsored by it and you will never see pro player names on the leaderboards.
    Old veterans are a totally lost cause. They go for strictly in-game practice approach. In Quake/UT they tell you to just play duels, in CS, just play the matches. And yeah, as the reality implies, those veterans have spent insane hours in their respective games to warrant that outlook. Doesn't help their argument that their aim is also not that good when it comes to walking the walk. They do not possess the consistent basic mouse control skill that aim trainers' users develop.
    Another myth is that talent beats hard work, not the other way around. That good aim is the prerogative of young prodigies. People call themselves old at 18 already. Brings us back to the Rapha episode of the podcast. Hopefully, people realize sooner the ridiculousness of the age argument.
    But just like any sport, esport and gaming will always be surrounded by destructive, unproductive myths. Gladly podcasts like this take credible statements right out of horse's mouth and bust those myths.

    So if you ask a pro player to flick onto a target eyes closed then is it muscle memory or hand eye coordination? Is knowing how much of hand movement roughly corresponds to a distance on screen muscle memory or hand eye coordination? If you do the same experiment but you change the sensitivity without the player knowing - which is it then and why will his flick be off?
    Hypothetical scenario: they hold an angle, enemy appears from another angle that's 60 degrees off, they do the flick without seeing the full path of the crosshair by either closing eyes, have test setup with 1 FPS, etc.

    regardless how hard you wanna deny it muscle memory or the perception of how far do i have to move to reach a certain point on the screen plays a very big role
    maybe muscle memory is not the best term for it. (but that´s what people actualy mean when they refeer to it)
    othwise we could just nilly vanilly go through any range of sensitivity and instantly be good at any sensitivity value wich is simply not the case.

      @@vorkot1 thanks for the long and detailed explaination. I read all of it and what i understood is that muscle memory is thing but its not just one dimensional people think like playing on a single sens and master it overtime, after a certain time you reach the limit for that particular sens and the range of muscle engagment it offers, so we need to change the sens accordingly to engage diff muscles and learn some new muscle memory. So basically he meant that muscle memory rather than being a limiting factor or an excuse, can be used to learn in many other ways, generally people think that if i change my sens i might lose the muscle memory but actually if the player changes the sens he/she might learn some new things and when he/she comes back to their original sens that would have a better time or more control thier mouse.

Just wanted to ask one more thing like using different sens to engage more muscle group is mostly for aim training and becoming a better mechanical aimer right? it is complety fine to keep a single sens in game if it allows and combines all the different sens , muscle memory and muscles groups that you engaged in training...? bcuz i think most of the player get confuse here , changing sens is for learning and traiing, coach's like minigod and others dont mean to say change your sens in game directly.. i think they mean to say that try different sens in training and once you confirm that higher or lower sens is going to help you then you change it..

    • @sEaNoYeAh
      @sEaNoYeAh ปีที่แล้ว +2

      400 and 800 were chosen for a combination of 2 reasons. Firstly it was practical based on the resolutions of monitors at the time, and secondly mice used to have a native resolution to the sensor itself. In the early days this was 400, then later 800 as sensors improved. The mice performed better at their native cpi (many sensor engineers prefer the term counts per inch to the interchangeable dots per inch), and to achieve higher cpis the mouse sensor would sub divide the data recorded, artificially increasing the counts per inch but sacrificing sensor accuracy. This is also the historical reason for cpi settings changing at a factor of 2 (i.e 400, 800, 1600, 3200), rather than being additive (e.g adding 400 at a time for 400, 800, 1200 etc etc).
      Now that sensors are more advanced and no longer have a native cpi, and major mouse companies no longer artificially achieve higher cpis by sub dividing data, you should be able to have any cpi you want. Although I would note various sensor engineers, including those at Logitech, are of the opinion that 1600cpi is the sweet spot for performance bearing in mind both common monitor resolutions used in esports for comfortable desktop use, while giving more sensor data for more accurate sensor performance.

      One thing I know is that UT players look down on Quake and have always been. Even in practice vs bots in UT2004 it can get really tough if you are aiming for a frag challenge within a time span. While Quake bots (I think it's safe to say objectively) is a waste of time if you have decent aim.
