I think it was very brave of this guy to post his game footage all of us to see. I commend that. I loved your advice Toby. I think the most helpful advice I got from this was to look around more and look up. I would say me and this guy are on the same skill level and have really similar play styles, so your critiques of him really apply to me as well. The only difference with me is I am OCD about reloading. Also you said he’s been playing for a few months, I’ve been playing for over a year, so he’s learning this game pretty quick. I like how with the last guy, he aimed the flapjack down then up to negate the recoil, that’s also something I would have done. It is just really amazing how much me and him play alike. So both me and him need to start looking up more. Got it ;)
bro literally is doting towards his members, Bro actually thanked the player for being brave enough to send the footage. Ayo we need more positive minded people like this guy. Ayo when you hit 2 mill subs just remember me I love you bro
Thanks Tobi! I saw a lot of my style play in this clip. Failure to check surroundings, failure to reload immediately, and checking loot chests when not really needed. Many of these things I know I should (or shouldn't) be doing it, but just fail under pressure. I love this kind of video, please keep them coming.
A lot of old Fortnite players run with there pick axe out at times. You used have to hit pick up to get bullets/builds. Swapping to pick axe meant you didn't swap weapons in a big pile of loot. I've seen more than one reddit post from newer players saying it makes you run faster and that is why older players do it. But it is just a habit at this point. One that isn't that bad in builds where you always have cover, but is really something you have to break when playing no builds.
Loved this one and saw a lot of my own mistakes in it, as others have said. So many Fortnite content creators are so good, it's hard to get anything out of watching them because my hand/eye coordination at age 53 will never be what theirs is. Watching a fellow mortal play and get advice was super compelling. Would love a series where you coach a bronze, a silver, a gold, etc. so it becomes a little more clear what skills separate the tiers. And thanks so much to whoever donated the footage. So many people benefitted from it!
Feel ya - same here, seeing these everyday mistakes I also make all the time and then having very precise advice for correction is pure gold. Huge props to the player sending footage! Great work, Toby - keep it up and please - more of this!!! Thanks!
Only been playing about a month so I definitely have much learning to do. Yes I to make these same mistakes. Knowing when to hold and when to fold is another common mistake I make. Great video and advice
Big takeaways: 1. Reload, reload, reload. 2. Check surroundings carefully. 2.5. Keep an eye on high ground. 3. Always go around corners in a goofy way to keep from being jumped.
This was incredibly helpful. I really hope this is a preview of things to come. Having you give feedback over one full game from other players would be great. This helped me realize how much I do without realizing it. Thanks Toby!
This guy has far better accuracy than I do but I have better in game IQ. He and I would probably kill each other 50% of the time so this is about my skill level. This video helps a ton! You should do more like these with other play styles, it’s an effective way to show our flaws and how they can be improved upon
Thanks for another video. As a newer player I think watching you give advice to someone on the newer side helped me. Been playing two months (I got really sick in December and ended up housebound so I started playing and I really love it) . I've definitely improved since I've started and after watching some of your videos they've definitely helped me significantly, I placed solo no build and went about 10 to 15% of the time now.
This is excellent content mate! Big ups to this player for submitting the replay. I've been looking at quite a few of your videos recently and they are of great help. Thank you for sharing this.
I’ve only watch a quarter so far, but had to comment. No shielding up straight away made me so nervous😮 anyway the looking up advice is brilliant, I naturally am trying to place cross hairs higher it’s a bad habit to get out of. The advice to slide and turn to check corners when going through doorways etc is fantastic, I look but never thought to slide through, that could be a life saver ❤
Great video! Very interesting. Gotta check myself more often for mistakes even though I'm pretty OCD about clearing rooms and checking surroundings (most of the times) 😁
Great video TobiWan! Ilike this coaching style of video where you pause and look back at the scenario. It's probably better than doing it live I'd say. So many tips to take out of this.. Now i just need to remember them all! lol
Refreshing to see someone upload their footage with lots and lots of clear mistakes. People tend to only upload their absolute best games and it’s not as helpful. I guess it could be his best game, but I doubt it. He does have decent aim. Good video
Thanks for this commentary and to the person who submitted the video. As a Silver ranked player I can see I need to work on my aim. Everything else I'm doing OK on - but it don't count for Jack if you can't aim!!! I've even resorted to sticking a more pronounced red dot on my monitor where my cross-hairs is. I has helped a lot. In another video you say you need to focus on lining up the dot to the player... which is obvious really, but you REALLY DO need to do that and tell yourself that. (Well, maybe player who can do this over time don't think to think about it.. NLP and all that but you know what I mean!)
Did you watch my "how I got good at Fortnite" video? Lots of resources for improving aim inside that video. Also my Assault Rifle Aim tips video might help.
Love this, huge supporter, you’ve definitely played a tremendous role in my improvement in Fortnite recently. What would I need to do to get a coaching review like this from you, I’m currently a “Diamond 1” rank and I hit platinum 1 off my first ranked game. Would a future review be possible? I have some footage I could send
I have no clue if this tip is in the video but an excellent tip that brought me up a rank. was to manipulate the environment by breaking a wall or a floor to get another angle on the enemies. if there is another object there to take cover then it's even better. I found a chimney that was on a wall. I broke the wall behind it and used the chimney as cover on a wall that had no window, giving me more angles to defend or attack. also depending on the situation can be bad because multiple teams are open to fire at you because of the increase of an open wall. in that case rotate to another area with a cover that you need to defend, the roof preferably. rotate back when it's preferable.
He may have heard about the myth that you run faster with your pickaxe out. I know when I first started a couple of years ago(C2S8) that my buddy (C1S3) told me that. I'm 75% sure it got disproven, but a lot of people do stuff like use the star wand pickaxe that had a bug that let it do more damage than other pickaxes even though they fixed the bug so who knows.
Yess!! Yet again Toby a good sales pitch 🎉! First sales pitch I subbed, now I am going to become a shinobi clan member 🫡! After seeing this and hearing the feedback on it, respect to you and definitly to the guy who shared hes gameplay with all of us!! ❤
i feel like the more you play the game the more you slowly learn about these. I was already doing all the stuff toby mentioned without even knowing why. It was just instinct
Hey i have a question sir. I want to switch to mouse and keyboard from ps4 controller because i can have better aim there.. But i dont understand how you guys can switch weapons and move when they are at 1,2,3,4,5 keys can you pls help or make a video about it... I cant switch the buttons because how will i build then ...
Don’t think I’m brave enough to post my replays, so hats off to this guy. Really helpful stuff, and great hints ‘n tips. I do quite similar stuff (not checking surroundings), except the reloads. Now i go into battles thinking, what would Shinobi do ❤
My biggest hold up with this game compared to most other shooter games is the ability to hold down the fire button and switch between guns. I’m always taking my finger off and then pressing fire again after switching
Do you have many build mode viewers? I would love to see a video something like ‘zero build expert tries build mode’! It would be fascinating to see your smart play style in that mode, and to have someone explain the fundamentals that most channels just skip past. Things like how to box up, hold a wall, identify enemy builds by colour, taking advantage of build HP, differences between mats etc… love all the zero build stuff though. You and Billy Bicep are the best FN TH-cam channels for sure 😎 👏 🔥
Unfortunately I can't build to save my life haha. I jumped into Fortnite when ZB was released. For some reason build mode just doesn't interest me at all... when I watch it I get bored. Not sure why that is. I respect build players though, it's quite a skill!
@@TobyWanShinobi completely understand. There’s an amazing kind of ‘flow’ state and satisfaction to building when you shoot, block, reposition, edit and peek. It feels amazing! I just think of it like an extra utility item or ability in FN. Everything else is the same, which is why I still love your content 👍 😎 🙏
just gotta say the combat smg is a far better close range secondary. dps on mythic flapjack is 198 while dps on common cbt smg is 216. i will concede that the flapjack is more versatile tho.
Yes but DPS is everything. Most players can't control that vertical recoil or have to tap fore to hit more shots which lowers the DPS. I do agree though I rather have a blue combat over the mythic flapjack. Also if it's early game I don't like two of my three weapons using medium ammo.
Great video Toby, and great gameplay. I love this stuff. A couple of things I'd add or reiterate from what Toby already said. Shotgun/SMG Swap: At th-cam.com/video/KBTMtpbNprs/w-d-xo.html you did great right-hand peeks with the shotgun. And while you used the ducking in and out of cover to give you the time between shotgun shots properly, if your second peek had been with the SMG, you might have been able to get the Elim in 2 actions instead of the 3 shotgun shots it took you. Shotgun/SMG swap is almost always going to get the Elim faster. But, I'm still working on that one all the time too, so I get it. Just don't get stuck in Shotgun battles. Consumables and Splashes: Like Toby said, just use them. I think many players (myself included) hang onto slurps and splashes too long, because we don't want to waste them, or we want to save them until later or for end game. But how many times have you been Elim'd holding on to a full set of splashes or slurps? All the time. Just use them. You will find more as you rotate, especially splashes or slap bottles. Again, how many fights do you lose where your opponent has like 20-40 health left. It can be close sometimes, and using those splashes as soon as you found them could be the difference. I think the general approach is like Toby said, reset after every fight. I'm also super OCD about reloading, but only because I got caught so often in the past by NOT doing it. But reloading health/shields has to be muscle memory. It's worth 30 seconds to do it in the moment and then move.
Loving this content Shinobi! Your viewpoint is so insightful and helpful. I’m a day one Apex player. Jumped into Fortnite in January. Lucky enough to have a PS5 and a solid 120fps on Monitor. Can’t wait to see more of these ❤
Please please make this a weekly or bi-weekly series. That would be so helpful and encourage people to become clan members. You could even pick from different tiers like bronze up to unreal. It would be awesome to see different styles of play and learn different tips and tricks. I would love for you to critique my gameplay like this.
Love your content and strategies. I was watching and got my first #1 victory in zero build battle royale in awhile. Been stuck in the top 10 but no #1 wins. 😎🙌
Hi Toby, this was great and a huge thank you to the player who allowed you to show and coach through his game. I do quite a bit of what you talked about like getting shields on quickly and I, too, am a bit OCD about reloading my guns. I was hoping you could give me some advice on using shockwaves with soaring sprints - I thought your video about using shockwaves was great and I have improved so much but I must be missing something as I can't get the soaring sprints effect - any advice would be greatly appreciated. More videos like this would be great if anyone is willing to share their gameplay. X
Are you playing on controller? It's really hard for me to throw a Shockwave, hit L3 (sprint button), line up, and jump in the direction i want in the half second I have before it goes off. I practiced hitting sprint in the pit after throwing the Shockwave and jumping. It doesn't change your Shockwave jump simce you dont have the soaring augment but when I'm in the air I would look at my sprint meter and if it went down a little I know I did a sprint jump before it went off and if my sprint was full I know I missed it. This helped a lot. If you have 4 paddles it's easier to assign another button to sprint but I don't so I made this work. If you are on M&K just practice sprinting before you jump in creative.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I see the principle now but I play on controller so it’s going to take a lot of practice, co-ordination and muscle memory! Thanks again.
Thank you, I play on controller and I think it was trying to do-ordinate all these actions that was proving difficult. I was thinking of treating myself to a controller with paddles so maybe this time I will. Thanks again for your detailed reply.
@@GlitzyPixie of course. I got the edge controller which is awesome but only has two back buttons. I mapped the left one to jump and the right one to crouch/slide and it has made a world of difference in my gameplay. Now I wish it had 4 paddles so I could add sprint to another button which would help with jukes and quick sprint jumps.
I’ve been playing for 3 days and never been into BRs but I struggle fked my way into GM on overwatch and got burnt out and decided to give Fortnite a try and I was having a lot of fun in duos but not really winning. Then I came across you while I was looking into getting better and after 3 of your videos I won 3 back to back game in solos and then went to ranked where I was silver 2 after a few games and went to gold 3 😊 Ty for the info man!
Great video Toby. I somehow am bronze 3 even though my first match I won in duos ranked and got like 15 kills, and clutched a 1v12 (my team mate died and there were no reboots).
Your rank is based on recent play. The first ranked match just reveals your rank. So if you are bronze 2 50% and you do solid your first game it might change you to bronze 3 but they already know what rank you are before the first ranked game. Like someone else said if they made a mistake or short ranked you after a few games you will be where you should be because you will move up fast against lower skilled players.
Seeing this gameplay, i can say that i do play very well. I always check my surroundings, i keep sliding and jumping constanly (and even then people on my lobbies just melt me, quite sad honestly). I also keep my weapons reloaded at all time, so this gameplay was useful for knowing that. Good stuff and commentary man, hoping to see more of this someday!
My buddies just got me to start playing fortnite on PSN within the last week or so. Learned a lot from this video. Last open shooter I played was CoD and Halo back in the day. Its been a long time so I have to get out of that mindset from those games. Seems like being somewhat aggressive pays off in Fortnite. Is that true?
I need to work on aim more I keep changing my aim sens too much 😞. I sometimes feel slow in terms of moving vs other players I don't know if sens would fix that 🤔.
I would say sensitivity certainly can effect speed of movement, but not as much as most people give it credit for. I was playing on controller with linear setting and 24 sens and I could do most of my movement tricks without feeling much difference vs PC mouse and keyboard. The most important thing is to find a sensitivity you feel comfortable with for aiming and turning 180 degrees in a fight.
Yeah all the streamers and Google recommend at least 40% on linear but I found 35, 35% to be the fastest I can go and still hit shots without using ads. So I agree it doesn't have to be crazy fast to still give you the speed you need.
I know he’s watching that ground like that but isn’t it beneficial with recoil from gray weapons and maybe even green? Is there really no value to it? I recently just turned on auto pick up so I shouldn’t be wasting that time anyway
When he's off the jump pad and you suggest "spin round to take a look" I can never see enough detail at that elevation with a quick look. Players in the distance are just too small for me to pick up. How do you scan so fast?! Maybe I'm focused on the centre of the screen too much?
TobyWonShinobi you are awesome thank you so much for your feedback and tutorials you have helped me alot i have recently started using more shockwaves also practicing the right shoulder peek and have definitely become more confident in my gameplay and as far as pushing players so thank you for everything and keep up the amazing work
I know this is an older video and I just wanted to say I found you looking for help on how to improve on Key and Mouse because I just swtiched from Controller to console recently. I will say its a tough switch but your videos have definitely helped I can work on my mechanica a bit better when it comes to close combat game play. Thank you for sharing your tips on how to improve as a player.
Hey TobiWan! I just wanted to ask how I can share a video of mine? I am a very good build player but I’m trying to become better at no-build as well. You’re a very experienced player and I was wondering if I could get some feedback like this or maybe you turn it into a video on TH-cam? That would be cool 😀 Anyway, how would I be able to send my video in and get it to you?
It looks like joining master shinobi is the best way to hopefully have my own training video like this. Is there any other fast track way to have one for my own game play? New to the channel but already liking what I am seeing.
Coming from Apex you run faster without having a weapon out. I thought having the pickaxe out would make you run faster, maybe others think the same thing.
Seems to be I’ve hit a plateau with fortnite lately. Love your vids and try my best to take your tips and remain conscious of them when playing but it all seems to go right out the window when I get in a fight. I’m a slightly average player but now, it’s gotten to a point where I don’t know what I’m even doing wrong when I’m repeatedly sent back to the lobby by people better than my skill level. It sucks because I’m rarely having fun anymore and might need a break. I think my biggest problem is the anxiety I feel when getting into gunfights or not being comfortable with fighting.
Only been playing two weeks and my only main problem right now is the friggin footsteps bro... I could SWEAR someone is right above me so I look up and then they come running up the stairs from below me and shotgun me in the face 🙃 or it sounds like theyre definitely below me and then they drop like 3 levels from the roof and know exactly where I am and shotgun me. Got a lot worse once I hit diamond lol..
All this stuff makes it hard for regular players who can't afford it, or don't have time to do it. All these players should be in a different lobby than just regular players
Running with pickaxe could be an FPS habit of thinking you move faster with no weapon but as an FPSer you would reload all the time so not sure what is happening.....
I think my webcam blocked it, but its in the killfeed on the left above the healthbar normally. Also you can usually hear the alarm sound go off when someone gets eliminated when there are 5 players or less - but in this case the circle closing sound played at the same time he died so you couldn't hear it.
I remember running through a building in anvil I went through this room and three people were crouching in there with my back right towards them one smg clip later and I needed booting after just landing which hurt my team right from the jump so be vigilant to camping and rats like toby called them
since there is no single player zero build ranked play im confused by this all the situational awareness wont overcome the multiple systems of rng built on top of each other. biggest one being hit boxes
@@TobyWanShinobi ok that makes sense, no idea why they dont have single ranked. Really seems like epic hasn't a clue what they are doing and just completely stumbled into this game
Fortnite opened up a new rank just for me. Plastic I. Dont be jealous.
😂
lmfao!!!!!!! that's me too ✋️
Pfft. I'm still in woodchip I.
Lol!
I just made it to paper rank

5. always take cover, utilize right shoulder peaks
bonus- don't crouch in an active engagement
Why shouldn't you crouch in active engagements?
@@mastodon11111111 you can, but not when peaking around corners, slows your movement. i could have worded it better

But i dont understand how you guys can switch weapons and move when they are at 1,2,3,4,5 keys can you pls help or make a video about it... I cant switch the buttons because how will i build then ...
I use an Azerok keypad... which is very different than a keyboard.

I just think of it like an extra utility item or ability in FN. Everything else is the same, which is why I still love your content 👍 😎 🙏
just gotta say the combat smg is a far better close range secondary. dps on mythic flapjack is 198 while dps on common cbt smg is 216. i will concede that the flapjack is more versatile tho.
leg. cbt smg is a whopping 264 dps
Yes but DPS is everything. Most players can't control that vertical recoil or have to tap fore to hit more shots which lowers the DPS.
I do agree though I rather have a blue combat over the mythic flapjack. Also if it's early game I don't like two of my three weapons using medium ammo.
Great video Toby, and great gameplay. I love this stuff. A couple of things I'd add or reiterate from what Toby already said.
Shotgun/SMG Swap:
At th-cam.com/video/KBTMtpbNprs/w-d-xo.html you did great right-hand peeks with the shotgun. And while you used the ducking in and out of cover to give you the time between shotgun shots properly, if your second peek had been with the SMG, you might have been able to get the Elim in 2 actions instead of the 3 shotgun shots it took you. Shotgun/SMG swap is almost always going to get the Elim faster. But, I'm still working on that one all the time too, so I get it. Just don't get stuck in Shotgun battles.
Consumables and Splashes:
Like Toby said, just use them. I think many players (myself included) hang onto slurps and splashes too long, because we don't want to waste them, or we want to save them until later or for end game. But how many times have you been Elim'd holding on to a full set of splashes or slurps? All the time. Just use them. You will find more as you rotate, especially splashes or slap bottles. Again, how many fights do you lose where your opponent has like 20-40 health left. It can be close sometimes, and using those splashes as soon as you found them could be the difference.
I think the general approach is like Toby said, reset after every fight. I'm also super OCD about reloading, but only because I got caught so often in the past by NOT doing it. But reloading health/shields has to be muscle memory. It's worth 30 seconds to do it in the moment and then move.
Thanks, Toby! Very informative and entertaining. I'm a Silver III player and think this wil help me rank - up!
Great job as always
I love your videos about movement and camera angle etc 🎉❤
Loving this content Shinobi! Your viewpoint is so insightful and helpful.
I’m a day one Apex player. Jumped into Fortnite in January.
Lucky enough to have a PS5 and a solid 120fps on Monitor.
Can’t wait to see more of these ❤
This is good content ! Very informative thank you. Please do more of these reviews :)
Please please make this a weekly or bi-weekly series. That would be so helpful and encourage people to become clan members.
You could even pick from different tiers like bronze up to unreal. It would be awesome to see different styles of play and learn different tips and tricks.
I would love for you to critique my gameplay like this.
Love your content and strategies. I was watching and got my first #1 victory in zero build battle royale in awhile. Been stuck in the top 10 but no #1 wins. 😎🙌
Hi Toby, this was great and a huge thank you to the player who allowed you to show and coach through his game. I do quite a bit of what you talked about like getting shields on quickly and I, too, am a bit OCD about reloading my guns. I was hoping you could give me some advice on using shockwaves with soaring sprints - I thought your video about using shockwaves was great and I have improved so much but I must be missing something as I can't get the soaring sprints effect - any advice would be greatly appreciated. More videos like this would be great if anyone is willing to share their gameplay. X
Are you playing on controller? It's really hard for me to throw a Shockwave, hit L3 (sprint button), line up, and jump in the direction i want in the half second I have before it goes off.
I practiced hitting sprint in the pit after throwing the Shockwave and jumping. It doesn't change your Shockwave jump simce you dont have the soaring augment but when I'm in the air I would look at my sprint meter and if it went down a little I know I did a sprint jump before it went off and if my sprint was full I know I missed it. This helped a lot.
If you have 4 paddles it's easier to assign another button to sprint but I don't so I made this work.
If you are on M&K just practice sprinting before you jump in creative.
You have to activate sprint right after throwing the shockwave, then line yourself up and jump
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I see the principle now but I play on controller so it’s going to take a lot of practice, co-ordination and muscle memory! Thanks again.
Thank you, I play on controller and I think it was trying to do-ordinate all these actions that was proving difficult. I was thinking of treating myself to a controller with paddles so maybe this time I will. Thanks again for your detailed reply.
@@GlitzyPixie of course. I got the edge controller which is awesome but only has two back buttons. I mapped the left one to jump and the right one to crouch/slide and it has made a world of difference in my gameplay.
Now I wish it had 4 paddles so I could add sprint to another button which would help with jukes and quick sprint jumps.
never a bad video, keep doing ur thing bro
Thank you my friend
I’ve been playing for 3 days and never been into BRs but I struggle fked my way into GM on overwatch and got burnt out and decided to give Fortnite a try and I was having a lot of fun in duos but not really winning. Then I came across you while I was looking into getting better and after 3 of your videos I won 3 back to back game in solos and then went to ranked where I was silver 2 after a few games and went to gold 3 😊 Ty for the info man!
Awesome to hear!
Great video Toby. I somehow am bronze 3 even though my first match I won in duos ranked and got like 15 kills, and clutched a 1v12
(my team mate died and there were no reboots).
also my play style is pretty different In fights I always go for movement to break camera or I do the classic right shoulder peak if cover
Your rank is based on recent play. The first ranked match just reveals your rank. So if you are bronze 2 50% and you do solid your first game it might change you to bronze 3 but they already know what rank you are before the first ranked game.
Like someone else said if they made a mistake or short ranked you after a few games you will be where you should be because you will move up fast against lower skilled players.
it is such a good idea to couch the player during his game and make a youtube video of it. please more of it!
Always heal and real before you deal. Great gameplay analysis video. Thanks 👍😀
Nice. Waiting for another analysis.
I dig gameplay reviews
Seeing this gameplay, i can say that i do play very well. I always check my surroundings, i keep sliding and jumping constanly (and even then people on my lobbies just melt me, quite sad honestly). I also keep my weapons reloaded at all time, so this gameplay was useful for knowing that. Good stuff and commentary man, hoping to see more of this someday!
Sounds like mechanics and aim are holding you back. Have you considered Deathmatch lobbies to practise the close quarter stuff more?
This player has a hell of a shot!
I come from halo as well. Loved halo 2 and 3. Reach was great as well. Never got into 4 or newer games of halo.
My buddies just got me to start playing fortnite on PSN within the last week or so. Learned a lot from this video. Last open shooter I played was CoD and Halo back in the day. Its been a long time so I have to get out of that mindset from those games. Seems like being somewhat aggressive pays off in Fortnite. Is that true?
I need to work on aim more I keep changing my aim sens too much 😞. I sometimes feel slow in terms of moving vs other players I don't know if sens would fix that 🤔.
I would say sensitivity certainly can effect speed of movement, but not as much as most people give it credit for. I was playing on controller with linear setting and 24 sens and I could do most of my movement tricks without feeling much difference vs PC mouse and keyboard. The most important thing is to find a sensitivity you feel comfortable with for aiming and turning 180 degrees in a fight.
Yeah all the streamers and Google recommend at least 40% on linear but I found 35, 35% to be the fastest I can go and still hit shots without using ads. So I agree it doesn't have to be crazy fast to still give you the speed you need.
Probably could have also hit a slurp before pushing on that final player since it was the last fight of the battle.
14:36 same when i get any chance at all im always reloading
At 34:23 look over the edge to see if you can finish the player you weakened.
He actually jumped to his death, he got the Elim right after he jumped.
@@TobyWanShinobi Oh, nice.. missed that.
I think you could make money doing this on the side, fwiw.
I know he’s watching that ground like that but isn’t it beneficial with recoil from gray weapons and maybe even green? Is there really no value to it? I recently just turned on auto pick up so I shouldn’t be wasting that time anyway
Yo you just made me realize how much I look down. Thank you
Do you also help players who play in build mode?
When he's off the jump pad and you suggest "spin round to take a look" I can never see enough detail at that elevation with a quick look. Players in the distance are just too small for me to pick up. How do you scan so fast?! Maybe I'm focused on the centre of the screen too much?
Probably too focused on center screen... my eyes are almost never center screen unless I'm fighting.
TobyWonShinobi you are awesome thank you so much for your feedback and tutorials you have helped me alot i have recently started using more shockwaves also practicing the right shoulder peek and have definitely become more confident in my gameplay and as far as pushing players so thank you for everything and keep up the amazing work
Love to hear that! Thanks for the love!
I know this is an older video and I just wanted to say I found you looking for help on how to improve on Key and Mouse because I just swtiched from Controller to console recently. I will say its a tough switch but your videos have definitely helped I can work on my mechanica a bit better when it comes to close combat game play. Thank you for sharing your tips on how to improve as a player.
At the end I don't think it was necessary for him to give away the higher ground advantage, I did this many times and it cost me many games
Great Idee for a video and sooo helpfull as always! Thank you so much!
Just hit Gold 2 , stoked to see this.
Hey TobiWan! I just wanted to ask how I can share a video of mine? I am a very good build player but I’m trying to become better at no-build as well. You’re a very experienced player and I was wondering if I could get some feedback like this or maybe you turn it into a video on TH-cam? That would be cool 😀
Anyway, how would I be able to send my video in and get it to you?
You can send it to my email found in the bio of my TH-cam channel!
@@TobyWanShinobi ok sounds great!
Great video and very helpful also big ups to the guy who uploaded the video to review. I do a lot of the same things.
It looks like joining master shinobi is the best way to hopefully have my own training video like this. Is there any other fast track way to have one for my own game play?
New to the channel but already liking what I am seeing.
You can book a one on one training at Tobywanshinobi.com , you can also purchase a video review there where I review 2 of your games.
Seeing this as gold 1 is really helpful
Coming from Apex you run faster without having a weapon out. I thought having the pickaxe out would make you run faster, maybe others think the same thing.
"Everyone runs faster with a knife!" - FPS Doug
Some very good advice here.
I to am OCD about reloading even if I only fire one shot lol
Seems to be I’ve hit a plateau with fortnite lately. Love your vids and try my best to take your tips and remain conscious of them when playing but it all seems to go right out the window when I get in a fight. I’m a slightly average player but now, it’s gotten to a point where I don’t know what I’m even doing wrong when I’m repeatedly sent back to the lobby by people better than my skill level. It sucks because I’m rarely having fun anymore and might need a break. I think my biggest problem is the anxiety I feel when getting into gunfights or not being comfortable with fighting.
This will be video; I save for watching later. Because there is so much to unpack. First thing work is looking up
How I can send you my record Im Platinum 2 I want advices from you 😅❤
Only been playing two weeks and my only main problem right now is the friggin footsteps bro... I could SWEAR someone is right above me so I look up and then they come running up the stairs from below me and shotgun me in the face 🙃 or it sounds like theyre definitely below me and then they drop like 3 levels from the roof and know exactly where I am and shotgun me. Got a lot worse once I hit diamond lol..
What is up with homies key binds?
All this stuff makes it hard for regular players who can't afford it, or don't have time to do it. All these players should be in a different lobby than just regular players
PLEASE do more of these 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Running with pickaxe could be an FPS habit of thinking you move faster with no weapon but as an FPSer you would reload all the time so not sure what is happening.....
Also can you make a video on the best creative maps to get better at zero build ? Appreciate you man !
35:43 - how did you guys know the parachute guy did in the storm?
I think my webcam blocked it, but its in the killfeed on the left above the healthbar normally. Also you can usually hear the alarm sound go off when someone gets eliminated when there are 5 players or less - but in this case the circle closing sound played at the same time he died so you couldn't hear it.
I remember running through a building in anvil I went through this room and three people were crouching in there with my back right towards them one smg clip later and I needed booting after just landing which hurt my team right from the jump so be vigilant to camping and rats like toby called them
Rat nest!
since there is no single player zero build ranked play im confused by this
all the situational awareness wont overcome the multiple systems of rng built on top of each other. biggest one being hit boxes
Gold is what he is ranked inside ranked zb duos. It gives you an idea of his skill level, even though he is playing solos.
@@TobyWanShinobi ok that makes sense, no idea why they dont have single ranked. Really seems like epic hasn't a clue what they are doing and just completely stumbled into this game
Yeah. The more I think about it, the less sense it makes to not have solos ranked.
Maybe im just blind but do you have a support a creator code?
It’s tobywanshinobi
@@Fuzzydunlop427 aight thought it was something different from his name for some reason. Thanks thanks
