amazing vid! Funnily enough, I had a similar issue where I would make my inital flick very quick so my microadjustment had a lot of tension and it looked like when I was making my micro correction that the cursor would bounce. Going slower and focusing more on the underflicking/straight line ideas helped me improve a lot more while having no tension
The fact that you flick and micro adjust in such a small window of time is absolutely insane. The reaction time is unreal. I’m over here spazzing out trying to move my mouse from one end of the screen to the other 😂
Practice makes perfect, push your limits and you'll impress yourself day in and day out. Sometimes you won't notice anything until a month or two passes and suddenly you're 200% over your previous records. Everyone is different, focus on the small dubs and anyone can make vast improvement. Ofc this guy is insane, but why would he show the thousands of resets? Keep your head up
@@ventdra Thank you very much for this. I've been feeling very discouraged because I want to improve but I feel like I've been getting nowhere. I need to take the small wins and give myself more grace. So again, thank you !
bare in mind also there might be a slight element of hardware diff involved here as well. While it's obviously mostly a case of technique, skill and a lot of practice, you'd be surprised just how much more seamless and natural certain scenarios come to you (like target switching/tracking) once you mindfully optimise your hardware. definitely do your research before dumping any money into these peripherals however.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. The hardest thing to do is really to relax when doing aim training and be smooth. That's the only thing i'm holding in my head when playing. PS: Nice video!!
I remember paying you for a tutoring session either 1 or 2 years ago now and you mentioned this was holding back my aim! This certainly changed a lot about how I thought about aiming and helped a lot.
@@keithbrownjr857 Generally, in order to make fast flicks or large adjustments, that requires a lot of tension. The faster you try to flick, the more tension that requires (most especially in the landing of the movement). The problem with that is once you do land, and you want to make the microadjustment / continue to track the target - the more tension you have, the harder it is to make either precise or smooth movements. Think of it this way - try to write as neatly as possible while gripping a pen as hard as you can, with as much tension as possible throughout your entire fingers, hand, and arm. You'll find that you can't make smooth and precise movements. To answer your question - you need tension to make fast movements. The faster the movement - the more tension. However, the more tension, the less you are able to make smooth and precise movements. Since you need to make BOTH fast and smooth/precise movements, you need to manage your tension such that you get the best of both worlds. If you try to aim with as little tension as possible, you will be slow as fuck and will have awful static / target switching ability. You'll need to practice and figure out how to manage the level of tension throughout different kinds of movements
@@keithbrownjr857 The consensus rn (could change in the future) is that tracking should be done with minimum tension possible. In general, it is best to have a low tension in your arm/wrist/finger when aiming. But for fast movement like flicks you need this tension. So you start the movement with a spike of tension to move the mouse fast, and release the tension as you reach the target to be able to micro correct (which doesn't need tension, you don't need speed but accuracy) on the target. Hope it helps
@@keithbrownjr857 to add on his discovery was also that when its a short distance between targets that you should do them with no tension from start to end where as medium to large distance flicks should be done with the Bard0z method which is high tension at start slow micro correction at end
Nice video, one of my issues in clicking scenarios that I wasn't aware of until I watched the video was hovering the mouse. Tried being more concious of the fact and broke most of my scenario plateaus immediately, still have lots of room to improve though since I'm not fully used to technique.
I'm loosing my mind over this debate. It's been a month and it seems this debate is second to High-Sens vs Low-Sens debate. *Will these questions ever find the answer? Or are we going to correct ourselves again in cycles?* 1) Flick -> Time it correctly while flicking - > Shoot 2) Flick -> Micro adjust -> Shoot 3) Precise 1st-flick movement -> Shoot at first-contact 4) Precise 1st-flick -> Micro adjust -> Shoot when sure I think the question is when to do concentrated motion vs blind motion, and at which steps. 🤔 I like your approach of doing according to different situations. Like Precise Motion when holding an angle, as the opponent who's checking need to gather the data and you would use that as an advantage to get 100% accurate shot. On mid-long ranges, flicking and then taking time to micro adjust. (As it's long distance and targets are moving, can't risk with blind flicks). I think that clip with 1HP also enlightens that you MIGHT end up in the position where you have to depend on your 1st flick accuracy. This means we cannot deny 1st-flick-shot practice, even when these also end up developing bad habits. Meanwhile, I'll cope with my 60hz monitor and put the blame on it.
I thought your discovery was the ideal way to play, but then discovered bardoz method and just assumed it was superior and that this was already considered, never occured to me that you could do both, thank you for setting new standards!
it’s important to remember that in cs or valorant, good crosshair placement means you don’t have to flick much. further giving you a reason to have more consistency over speed in your aim
what's funny about your discovery (flick fast and hard for big movements, but slower and more relaxed flicks for shorter movements) is that we will do that naturally/unconsciously when we play the game (CS/Valorant) a lot. However, no one would ever hit a high 190K/200K+ score in Sixshot like you have without consciously discovering/breaking down the technique and then consciously maximizing its technical execution, so fuck yeah, and ty for finding it and sharing it with us
ya lower tension upon landings leaves you with more clarity which allows you to observe movement easier and transition into micro/tracking motion faster with more stability.
You made me rethink my whole aiming method, I’m used to high sens in general and playing which with time I went I to “medium” sens (old bad habit on game that don’t require precision but more raw prefire and flicks) I aim with wrist 80% of any movement and will try to master more arm movement
@@Assassunn True but look at him going so precise and fast, arm flick>wrist microajust>shoot this is insane for long distance flicks without overflicking or having too high of a sens to micro adjust
@@z44k. yes this is what I do, arm flick with lot of tension then micro adjust with wrist (800 dpi 0.22 valo) but except for turns, 0.22 still allows me to flick directly with the wrist when it's horizontal. The other issue with arm is that you need to reset your aim more often and it's more shaky/slower :/ I ordered a mousepad with high stopping power, I'm considering to try out a 0.34 sens, this is what most pro use and the high stopping power should help this micro adjustments. I don't like my sens with my very glidy mousepad because it requires A LOT of tension management to be able to not overflick too much or/and just do two flicks (no shaky crosshair). Like high tension to be quick, then release immediately before the micro adjustment is HARD to do consistently.
@@Assassunn 0.34 is kinda « high » forsaken type of sens but it’s still playable even try like 0.275 just toy around until you find something that doesn’t tire you and make you feel comfy then go for wide walls scenarios to force the microadjusts
@@z44k. thank you, I received my new mousepad it has quite a lot of stopping power and I went 0.32. This is quite impressive tbh I aim with the wrist locked and many times it goes straight onto the target but when it doesn't the micro adjustment is kinda hard not because of the high sens but because it feels like my mouse is stucked. On a glidy mousepad it was quite easy to micro adjust because it would kick instantly and I would use click timing. Now it's much more about muscle memory to get the right first impulse with the right angle than mouse control and click timing I was relying so much on glidy pad. Getting used to a new sens even from 0.22 to 0.32 is quick, but to a new type of mousepad this feels like it'll take a month of labour.
I would argue that overflicks are better than underflicks since stopping and starting a movement in the same direction takes more effort than changing directions. There’s an osu mapping video that went in depth of mapping theory and they found that star flicks were much easier than flicks going in the same direction.
There's an 8yr old video from nOthing(CS) where he brings up something similar when teaching aim theory/tech. A close range flick with the wrist for close shots (arm or wrist planted) and a wide angle flick using the arm with a wrist microcorrection.
I remember this video! He was mainly talking about how our wrist is more accustomed for micro-corrections and why it's worth using it's entire range of motion to maximize our precision at these micro heavy angles while also mentioning that leaving up usage of our arm might cost us speed & ability to perform less comfortable flicks
technique goes hand in hand with your equipment. meaning while our mouse weight is decreasing we can play with less and less tension. whats your take on ultralight and tiny fingertip mice?
awesome, it's true in val and cs a lot of people preach the 'flick-adjust-click' like 3 separate steps when in reality most of them don't, specially when rifles have fairly accurate first 3 bullets, flick-click-adjust during the burst seems more efficient to me
Bursts are good but they're a crutch for bad technique, bursts can be the end of the road if you're low on ammo, no time to reload, 1v4. There's always outlier situations to practice for!
@ventdra I mean yeah it's good to have everything in the arsenal, but sheriff and guardian practice is probably enough for those scenarios don't you agree? 70%+ of important gunfights will be rifling and you want to be the sharpest with the most effective style, no?
@sebaba001 at the end of the day if you can consistently one tap, you can consistently burst. Not all bursters are tappers, but all tappers can be bursters.
@@sebaba001 and idk about 70%, you end up using lower tier weapons a lot more than you realize in proper eco, no reason to slack off. (I had cs in mind for the initial message anyway, which is a slightly different conversation given the overall game pace being higher)
This reminds me of how I used to quickscope in the old cod days. Don't get me wrong, there were people who were WAY better than me, but I would still win 85% of FFA games just quickscoping with this method, it works really well! Takes a lot of practice before you can actually start practicing the microflick, but when you're in the zone OH BOY is it sick
5:45 realizing that wait I know this minigod guy from the leaderboards, have analyzed his runs on countless scenarios, and even stolen his sens more than a few times trying to break ranks on the VT benchmarks
If you ever want to can you do a video on sensitivity and managing it between aim trainers and in game like for example I use a decently high sens for valorant and use the same for kovakk"s and aimlabs but I know some people adjust based on game and some even argue that if you aimtrain on a higher sens you will find you will play better in game on a lower sens. Is any of this true?
I would love to hear more about actaul physical positioning of the arm for example, about how much pressure on the desk is ok, if feeling the need to raise the arm when arm flicking is a bad thing and so on, nobody is talking about that genre of stuff
Think of it as "overly flowy aim" if you have to, essentially you're correct, slowing yourself down to overly smooth movements to avoid making mistakes like over or under aiming.
Can someone please summarize Mini’s findings? Is it about fast flicks with smooth correction on wide angles (long flicks) to prioritize speed (bringing crosshair to a far target) and slower flicks with less tension when the target is closer to the crosshair (short flicks)?
The diffenrence between explosive flicking and hovering seems pretty obvious. But how should we make sure we are smoothly flicking rather than hovering? I'm afraid that if I lower my tension when flicking shots it will quickly become hovering.
I would prioritize bardoz approach till you reach good level before fine tuning your tech with lower tension levels or just do them only at short distances
Thank you for such an interesting and captivating video essay. Your results speak for itself. However, I'm having a hard time applying your hard-earned knowledge. I feel as if I can't properly underflick with a soft landing despite my best efforts over the last few days with little improvement. What scenarios do you recommend so I can give myself a better chance at that "a-ha!" moment? I've been pushing myself with your lessons using a combination of VT BerryTS, VT 1W2TS, and VT Pulseshot Precision. Any further advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for such a fantastic video essay!
It's so cool, I was unintentionally doing the same thing, although of course my aim is nearly not as good as yours. I think all your scores in the scenarios I'm doing in aimlabs are 30% bigger on average lol
Great video! I’ve been wondering for quite some time whether to go smooth flicks or bardoz flicks in Valorant. Could you clarify what technique you would recommend for valorant range hard bots?
so is it like the "floating" way but sped up? or do I get it wrong? I understand that it's a more smooth motion, etc, but would be great to get a bit more tips around this technique, ty.
so the result reminded me of a linear and ease animations. linear - consistent speed and movement, like the bardoz method ease - fast initial speed that slows down while u r getting closer to the target Actually, ig there is a video in valorant community called dynamic tension or smth, which is also resulted similar to your conclusion.
thanks for confirming my problems I am baddd for loosing confidence & hovering loosing that initial burst of speed ruins your confidence so fast . also use your eyes
The idea is Simple. If you are more of an new/intermediate aim trainer then focus on having fast initial flicks and taking time with micros till you reach good level with that. Then try fine tuning this technique based on situations that you are present with, as you won't need to do crazy fast flicks at short distances which are harder to control, so ideally you would do slower flick to preserve clarity od the target and ability to micro
I swear to GOD if I keep coming across the same stuff I already know. So what am I actually missing damn it :( W vid btw, and super cool I figured that out on my own and still bad aim lol.
I'm a wrist aimer with 0.335 800dpi in Valorant (EPDI: 268 - sorry I don't know the 360/cm measures). I started to use Kovaak's and AimLabs a lot more and I realised that I have problems with flicking from longer distances where I have to use my arm + hover with my mouse in order to get the shot. Now I'm thinking about increasing my sens, else I have to get used to arm movement adjustments. Any tips here?
it is one thing to flick on predictable/static/slow moving targets like most modern shooters have. Now try to flick on targets that are uncooperativley dodging the right amount to constantly force you to readjust with very fast movement. 🙂
can you make a guide on how to underflick? Im new so i've been trying to underflick but I've run into some issues as it is not instict when i try to flick hard to then smoothly adjust by nature I tend to overflick and I can't underflick, If i try it slower I'm confused by when to underflick like as soon as I reach the target or like before to do adjust. I saw bardoz sometimes in the aimbots challenge under flick like stop and then under flick and other times like as soon as he is on the target. Thank you (:
Overflicking is better. Dont stress too much on getting under or overflicks tho. Youll never 100% get them and its just best to get as close as possible with the first flick , and be good at micro’ing both over and underflicks
Can you fully record a valorant match ? I only find clips of you. But I want to see a full match like 30 min once on twitch or here. Sadly no videos of valorant stream from you available on twitch Would be cool
I don't enjoy playing valorant that much to be honest, Im more of an Counter-Strike Player (when the game is actually playable) but I will try opening my vods on twitch soon!
I really like your game, I would also like to learn how to shoot, but in 5k hours I have not learned, I try to play your cards in aim labs, but everything in my game does not work out exactly like that, I feel afraid and pinch. How to overcome yourself? I really hope that you will give professional advice to your new fan from Russia.I would also like your advice on which resolution is better to play, stretch the image or put black bars
idk if you'll see this comment but I've noticed my aim is more consistent because i'm not stressed and anxious and I hold my mouse differently. In game, i tend to hold my mouse tight which causes some shakiness and I can't really microadjust. But when it comes to aim training I dont face this problem. I think there is a lot more benefit from gripping my mouse in terms of speed and comfortability, if I try to aim in game like I do in aim trainers I feel like a snail idk how to explain. Would you recommend aim training while gripping my mouse and aiming like I do in game, or vise versa and try to aim in game like how i aim in aim trainers?
Taking the technique aspect away. I believe the best that you could do is just doing some aim training under pressure as in with scenarios that are forcing this anxious feeling that you might have inside of the game. Scenarios like VT Pulseshot Six, VCT NA - Tenz might serve as a great opener to enhance your training and make it more effective.
But why do you insist on underflicking with the initial flick why not overflick because to me i dont think it makes any difference and why would we need to choose either of them and do only that why not just simple explosive initial flick and wherever that lands just micro adjusting using our fingers?
overflick adds total distance to your flick that is not needed at all (im pretty sure ive included some examples in the middle of vid) Ideally flicking right onto a target would be the play but since we are not robots, it's better to pick approach that is better on paper aka one that decreases the amount of motions so the flick ends in the same traversal allowing us to keep the momentum + underaiming even while tracking is more beneficial since you deal more damage between direction changes in opposition to flicking harshly and overflicking when target might strafe instantly right after your overflick making you deal no dmg. It's hard to explain this without proper examples. Edit: 3:20 in video showcases what I mean with flicks
@@MINIGOD1337Dont look at it as distance, look at it as effort. When underflicking you need to make 3 direction adjustments. For a target to your right its going to be ‘initial flick right, slow down left, adjust right’. This is 3 direction changes. When overflicking its only 2 direction adjustments. Same target ‘initial flick right, slow down left, adjust left. Since you are already putting effort into moving your mouse left when stopping the mouse it will take much less effort to overflick. The amount of effort changes based on how heavy your mouse is. An exaggerated scenario to lab this theory would be to apply finger weights to feel the kinetic energy in your aim more than usual.
For the initial flick should it always be using your arm? I find myself doing both the initial flick and the micro correction with my wrist for horizontal targets. Is it worth for me to change this to strictly arm > wrist? I. I score 120k~ on six shot Great video btw.
Ideally medium-wide flicks with a fast arm movement and slow micro with wrist. But shorter distances you can use only wrist but keep track of how tense you are while performing these motions to make them a bit more consistent
hey mini why do we see so many pros for example in val, apex, cs, OW, use such low sens when arguably the best aimers ever in game like (sayaplayer, faye, profit) all use relatively high sens?
Higher sens = higher skill ceiling and more versitality which allows you to easily rely on fingers/wrist and arm while aiming. You can be as precise as you would with lower sensitivity as well with a difference that you have more range of motion available and possibly could be faster with good mouse control. However if you dont train or play a lot of games you would most likely optimize your sens for comfort/consistency hence why majority of players use lower sens as its easier to control and they don't need as much training or playtime to be relatively consistent
No way... I've been unconsciously doing this ever since I hit voltaic diamond as it seems like the only way I can [effectively] push my speed. I'm halfway between jade and master now. I just get way too tense and can't release it in a reasonable amount of time otherwise. I thought I was going insane, only approaching or breaking my static scores by "slowing down". lol

Bursts are good but they're a crutch for bad technique, bursts can be the end of the road if you're low on ammo, no time to reload, 1v4. There's always outlier situations to practice for!
@ventdra I mean yeah it's good to have everything in the arsenal, but sheriff and guardian practice is probably enough for those scenarios don't you agree? 70%+ of important gunfights will be rifling and you want to be the sharpest with the most effective style, no?
@sebaba001 at the end of the day if you can consistently one tap, you can consistently burst. Not all bursters are tappers, but all tappers can be bursters.
@@sebaba001 and idk about 70%, you end up using lower tier weapons a lot more than you realize in proper eco, no reason to slack off. (I had cs in mind for the initial message anyway, which is a slightly different conversation given the overall game pace being higher)
This reminds me of how I used to quickscope in the old cod days. Don't get me wrong, there were people who were WAY better than me, but I would still win 85% of FFA games just quickscoping with this method, it works really well! Takes a lot of practice before you can actually start practicing the microflick, but when you're in the zone OH BOY is it sick
drop that crosshair at 0:13 bro
thanx for the video, this is insane🔥🔥🔥
Bro the music to ambiente the video is so based
clipping the cypher cam is crazy LMAO
that is insane, glad I found this video.
5:45 realizing that wait I know this minigod guy from the leaderboards, have analyzed his runs on countless scenarios, and even stolen his sens more than a few times trying to break ranks on the VT benchmarks
If you ever want to can you do a video on sensitivity and managing it between aim trainers and in game like for example I use a decently high sens for valorant and use the same for kovakk"s and aimlabs but I know some people adjust based on game and some even argue that if you aimtrain on a higher sens you will find you will play better in game on a lower sens. Is any of this true?
I would love to hear more about actaul physical positioning of the arm for example, about how much pressure on the desk is ok, if feeling the need to raise the arm when arm flicking is a bad thing and so on, nobody is talking about that genre of stuff
Great video! Thank you
This opened my head
mini, I'm bad at English
mouse hovering is slow aiming right?
I think it means don't flicking and slowly aiming for high accuracy
this is correct?
Think of it as "overly flowy aim" if you have to, essentially you're correct, slowing yourself down to overly smooth movements to avoid making mistakes like over or under aiming.
Can someone please summarize Mini’s findings? Is it about fast flicks with smooth correction on wide angles (long flicks) to prioritize speed (bringing crosshair to a far target) and slower flicks with less tension when the target is closer to the crosshair (short flicks)?
The Minecraft music is perfect 😭
Can you make a video about sitting at the table? What basic tips can you give?
this guys an aim scientist
I didn’t see any delta p in this video. Its only scientific if there’s numbers to backup his claims.
The diffenrence between explosive flicking and hovering seems pretty obvious. But how should we make sure we are smoothly flicking rather than hovering? I'm afraid that if I lower my tension when flicking shots it will quickly become hovering.
I would prioritize bardoz approach till you reach good level before fine tuning your tech with lower tension levels or just do them only at short distances
Thank you for such an interesting and captivating video essay. Your results speak for itself. However, I'm having a hard time applying your hard-earned knowledge. I feel as if I can't properly underflick with a soft landing despite my best efforts over the last few days with little improvement. What scenarios do you recommend so I can give myself a better chance at that "a-ha!" moment? I've been pushing myself with your lessons using a combination of VT BerryTS, VT 1W2TS, and VT Pulseshot Precision. Any further advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for such a fantastic video essay!
It's so cool, I was unintentionally doing the same thing, although of course my aim is nearly not as good as yours. I think all your scores in the scenarios I'm doing in aimlabs are 30% bigger on average lol
I just love how ur mouse/aim stops exactly on target
Great video! I’ve been wondering for quite some time whether to go smooth flicks or bardoz flicks in Valorant. Could you clarify what technique you would recommend for valorant range hard bots?
Audio for Tenz clip @1:38 is super muffled
I know that i fucked up the audio this time ( thought it's fixed but nope) will try better next time
@@MINIGOD1337 still a good aim theory video. gonna apply these concepts to my games and aim training
can u please turn up the mic on the video like its very low
need to get a better mic next time but idk for me the voice volume isn't that bad
volume aint that low, jus turn up your volume zale
Bro is deaf
@@MINIGOD1337 ye mb its not very low but its still lower i feel like than normal videos
@@zalexVAL Will try to fix next time
patterns im seeing between good static player is they all utilise the bardoz method
a big issue i have is with vertical flicks. my horizontal is great but any kind of vertical motion I find myself getting stuck. any tips for that?
so is it like the "floating" way but sped up? or do I get it wrong? I understand that it's a more smooth motion, etc, but would be great to get a bit more tips around this technique, ty.
so the result reminded me of a linear and ease animations.
linear - consistent speed and movement, like the bardoz method
ease - fast initial speed that slows down while u r getting closer to the target
Actually, ig there is a video in valorant community called dynamic tension or smth, which is also resulted similar to your conclusion.
The shimmy static technique and this are they the same? What is the difference?
Such a good video
thanks for confirming my problems
I am baddd for loosing confidence & hovering
loosing that initial burst of speed ruins your confidence so fast .
also use your eyes
i’m number 902 in kovvakks piano tiles 📈50% slow check it out the names minaj41
I came there thanks to Empiric's video. Can someone explain how exactly I am supposed to practice this approach (technique)?
The idea is Simple. If you are more of an new/intermediate aim trainer then focus on having fast initial flicks and taking time with micros till you reach good level with that. Then try fine tuning this technique based on situations that you are present with, as you won't need to do crazy fast flicks at short distances which are harder to control, so ideally you would do slower flick to preserve clarity od the target and ability to micro
Can you recommend a /360cm range for flicking?
I swear to GOD if I keep coming across the same stuff I already know. So what am I actually missing damn it :( W vid btw, and super cool I figured that out on my own and still bad aim lol.
If you know things then all that left is pure grind. You won't be able to find magic way of fixing issues with one random vid without work
@@MINIGOD1337Facts, you're actually the goat. Keep it up. ❤
@@MINIGOD1337Thank you so much.
Can I get the playlist?
I'm a wrist aimer with 0.335 800dpi in Valorant (EPDI: 268 - sorry I don't know the 360/cm measures). I started to use Kovaak's and AimLabs a lot more and I realised that I have problems with flicking from longer distances where I have to use my arm + hover with my mouse in order to get the shot. Now I'm thinking about increasing my sens, else I have to get used to arm movement adjustments. Any tips here?
it is one thing to flick on predictable/static/slow moving targets like most modern shooters have. Now try to flick on targets that are uncooperativley dodging the right amount to constantly force you to readjust with very fast movement. 🙂
wait this is the actual minigod
For some reason, i get better scores going slowly than when i do fast, but scores rarely improve.
Goat, waiting for coaching to open❤
what is the minecraft music called?
holy fuck your background music is amazing, the GT and Minecraft songs made me sub instantly
Really cool video
can you make a guide on how to underflick? Im new so i've been trying to underflick but I've run into some issues as it is not instict when i try to flick hard to then smoothly adjust by nature I tend to overflick and I can't underflick, If i try it slower I'm confused by when to underflick like as soon as I reach the target or like before to do adjust. I saw bardoz sometimes in the aimbots challenge under flick like stop and then under flick and other times like as soon as he is on the target. Thank you (:
Overflicking is better. Dont stress too much on getting under or overflicks tho. Youll never 100% get them and its just best to get as close as possible with the first flick , and be good at micro’ing both over and underflicks
@@CommandoBlack123 Thank you!
This is actually mind opening what.
What is your best playlist for aiming in valorant? with a little bit of tracking as well. www.youtube.com/@MINIGOD1337
Would you say this method of flicking is similar to the method rensi uses, they seem very similar?
Can i get the names of these tasks? i have both kovaak and aimlab.
does anyone know the name of the map at 5:58 ?
yprac aim trainer (csgo). This map is not available in CS2 at the moment.
Can you fully record a valorant match ? I only find clips of you. But I want to see a full match like 30 min once on twitch or here. Sadly no videos of valorant stream from you available on twitch
Would be cool
I don't enjoy playing valorant that much to be honest, Im more of an Counter-Strike Player (when the game is actually playable) but I will try opening my vods on twitch soon!
@@MINIGOD1337pls don’t forget :D
I really like your game, I would also like to learn how to shoot, but in 5k hours I have not learned, I try to play your cards in aim labs, but everything in my game does not work out exactly like that, I feel afraid and pinch. How to overcome yourself? I really hope that you will give professional advice to your new fan from Russia.I would also like your advice on which resolution is better to play, stretch the image or put black bars
goated content
you are a life saver
What's your current rating and ELO in CS2?
idk if you'll see this comment but I've noticed my aim is more consistent because i'm not stressed and anxious and I hold my mouse differently. In game, i tend to hold my mouse tight which causes some shakiness and I can't really microadjust. But when it comes to aim training I dont face this problem. I think there is a lot more benefit from gripping my mouse in terms of speed and comfortability, if I try to aim in game like I do in aim trainers I feel like a snail idk how to explain. Would you recommend aim training while gripping my mouse and aiming like I do in game, or vise versa and try to aim in game like how i aim in aim trainers?
Taking the technique aspect away. I believe the best that you could do is just doing some aim training under pressure as in with scenarios that are forcing this anxious feeling that you might have inside of the game. Scenarios like VT Pulseshot Six, VCT NA - Tenz might serve as a great opener to enhance your training and make it more effective.
But why do you insist on underflicking with the initial flick why not overflick because to me i dont think it makes any difference and why would we need to choose either of them and do only that why not just simple explosive initial flick and wherever that lands just micro adjusting using our fingers?
overflick adds total distance to your flick that is not needed at all (im pretty sure ive included some examples in the middle of vid) Ideally flicking right onto a target would be the play but since we are not robots, it's better to pick approach that is better on paper aka one that decreases the amount of motions so the flick ends in the same traversal allowing us to keep the momentum + underaiming even while tracking is more beneficial since you deal more damage between direction changes in opposition to flicking harshly and overflicking when target might strafe instantly right after your overflick making you deal no dmg. It's hard to explain this without proper examples. Edit: 3:20 in video showcases what I mean with flicks
@@MINIGOD1337Dont look at it as distance, look at it as effort. When underflicking you need to make 3 direction adjustments. For a target to your right its going to be ‘initial flick right, slow down left, adjust right’. This is 3 direction changes. When overflicking its only 2 direction adjustments. Same target ‘initial flick right, slow down left, adjust left. Since you are already putting effort into moving your mouse left when stopping the mouse it will take much less effort to overflick. The amount of effort changes based on how heavy your mouse is. An exaggerated scenario to lab this theory would be to apply finger weights to feel the kinetic energy in your aim more than usual.
For the initial flick should it always be using your arm? I find myself doing both the initial flick and the micro correction with my wrist for horizontal targets. Is it worth for me to change this to strictly arm > wrist? I. I score 120k~ on six shot Great video btw.
Ideally medium-wide flicks with a fast arm movement and slow micro with wrist. But shorter distances you can use only wrist but keep track of how tense you are while performing these motions to make them a bit more consistent
Dude, what sense do you play cs 2 on, and also dpi
whats that cs scrosshair
How about a video about how nutrition affects consistency? 😅
How to get those aim exercises
just curious what dpi and sens do you use on cs2?
hey mini why do we see so many pros for example in val, apex, cs, OW, use such low sens when arguably the best aimers ever in game like (sayaplayer, faye, profit) all use relatively high sens?
consistency
and by the way most apex pros play between 25 and 50 cm which is mid sens! low sens is anything above 50 and high is anything lower than 25
Higher sens = higher skill ceiling and more versitality which allows you to easily rely on fingers/wrist and arm while aiming. You can be as precise as you would with lower sensitivity as well with a difference that you have more range of motion available and possibly could be faster with good mouse control. However if you dont train or play a lot of games you would most likely optimize your sens for comfort/consistency hence why majority of players use lower sens as its easier to control and they don't need as much training or playtime to be relatively consistent
No way... I've been unconsciously doing this ever since I hit voltaic diamond as it seems like the only way I can [effectively] push my speed. I'm halfway between jade and master now. I just get way too tense and can't release it in a reasonable amount of time otherwise. I thought I was going insane, only approaching or breaking my static scores by "slowing down". lol
More Mini vids coming soon?
yes
