1. Master Dash 180 Combo 2. Learn to track enemies while jumping 3. Use Dash to Attack Enemies that cant escape easily 4. Follow up on Utilities (Ana Nade, Tank Diving into Team) 5. Have confidence in yourself and learn your limits

I just started OW2 with my friends and played for 4 hours and i just wanna say genji is so fun. I didn’t even know about the dash secondary hit melee combo but i still got so many kills and had so much fun with genji. I dont even know how to climb walls. As long as my friend healed me i was just running around killing everyone it was a blast of a time. Love the game and now imma try get better with genji.

[@wahterr6281]

Bro keep playing with him. I just started playing in OW2 also and Genji is soo fun when you start to get the hang of him. My friends were telling me to switch off of him because I was getting enough damage but I stuck with it and now I out-damage my teammates. It honestly feels so good to out-damage someone using an insanely easy hero like soldier, sojourn, junkrat, etc. Like bitch all you have to do is track and hold mouse1 lol.

[@ClearestofGlues]

@@wahterr6281 Any decent player will shut you down, you’re still a noob and aiming with hit scan is not easy.

[@Soren_Hayes]

Big thing to learn is if you use and learn the angle of your fan attack you can fit one in a frame before a dash or a deflect for extra opening damage

[@kvxtthe]

I thought this video was gonna have something obvious like "focus squishy targets" but these are actually great tips. Very good video.

[@whitereaper_x158]

not really some tanks like dva or rein can be countered using genji if you catch them off guard like even when our tank dies I can kill off a dva the trick is to stay on dva's head and she won't see you and hence wont use the matrix on you, even if she does your primary dps will shoot from a frontal angle and cheese her the main advantage is forcing them to choose between defending a single angle

[@ninjabird6318]

Listened to this video’s tips and just practiced in quick play matches, I started to improve and get more kills with genji in about three matches. Good video.

[@dmitrychirkov4206]

Damn, I feel dizzy watching this. All the things that I was finding for myself relentlessly practicing Genji for a few years now, I just heard in a perfectly articulated form, word to word as I imagined it in my head all along. Stunning, really. Let me add a thing about 180 turns. Most of the players tend to think that they are good enough with it by default. Wrong. Go to the area at practice range where Tracer bot stands. There are two bots in front of her. Stand between them, hold the alternative fire and, without letting it, hit one bot, then another, doing 180s, changing turn directions from time to time. Try to make it consistent, lay every shot, switch body parts that you intend to hit. When the bots are down, aim at the lines at the walls that suppose to be at the center of the screen. Then pay attention to the stiffness of your hand. it suppose to be as relaxed as possible, almost like pushing the mouse instead of holding it (not quite, though). That would increase your stamina, calmness and overall aim. Another little tip: want to warm up and build a little confidence before the first game of the day? Go to the practice range and put up mouse sensivity by 1 (I usually use 14 with deafault mouse drivers). You would feel more freedom, but lack of control and aim. Go for a free training like this for a 10-15 minutes. Then go back to your usual sensivity. You'd feel like shackles dropped from your hands. The character almost feels like the continuation of your body :)

[@everythingisalie5377]

The last tip is VERY important. I started playing OW in early 2017 and became a genji main soon after. I have lost count on how many times I was told to generally "delete game" or "don't play genji anymore" in particular. I was a bad genji, but everything comes with practice. After like 500-1000 hours of playing genji only I reached diamond (from silver-gold). I left the game on some periods like 6-10 months, so it was inconsistent, but still progress was made. Last time I played OW in 2019 (when I got the diamond) and now I'm back to OW2 playing genji again. And you know what? My hands do remember everything. Jumps, aims, tricks and 180's . He is a great character and I love that finally he can be strong after several years of tank/shield meta.

[@OMITYARI]

confidence in playing has to be like the best tip. stop worrying about people harassing you for trying to learn a new character, especially if you’re on QP. i used to let people know ahead of time in QP lobbies that i was learning a new character incase i preformed bad, but i learned that nobody cares in QP and the people that do care are people that are too scared to get on comp

[@ashgoji8141]

Today was my first time playing Overwatch, and well, one of my main motivations was Genji, I loved his playstyle and his story, so I decided to play with him even though I knew he was one of the hardest. And man, I died a lot HAHAH but he is super fun and I'm determined to learn how to play with him properly. Thanks for the video, it was super useful!

[@abraxas6326]

I'm new to OW so I'm watching videos like this to get a basic understanding of heroes and I never knew you had options for bots like that so you can do trainings. I come from CS go so my flick accuracy is pretty solid but this game is so much more fast pace I never really noticed my tracking was absolute ass against some of the faster / flying heroes.

[@elmartinezpayul2830]

I feel your way bro...

[@sweetgaramm]

tip from me, dont forget to reload first (or count your ammo, is it enough?) before you go in. sometimes i forgot this then reloading awkwardly in front of enemies after dashing. broken english

[@L0neW0lfMindset-escap3]

this is nice and ik u guys are putting out these for new ppl to ow mainly, but remember us veterins pls, an advanced genji guide would be good

[@JadenReynoldsShorts]

I’m trying to learn how to play genii so I can look cool with the mythic skin 😂

[@theperciousgodyt4319]

i can give a tip since i didnt see it in here , whenever u ult with genji u can dash to reset ur attack cooldown meaning u can dash and attack immediately after the dash making a bigger burst of dmg

[@KINGOMEGA2]

I'm not gonna lie the part when you said you need to have confidences in your self that really help me

[@XridoGun]

I just wanna say, tip 5 is very true. Yesterday I used Genji's ultimate and got 3 players, and it was one of my first times using Genji, I didn't think it was possible but I just did it and it worked out well.

[@metalguy9914]

the dash thing was a great tip actually because i always wait for them to be 1 shot so i can get my dash back when i dash into them lol

[@juliancarreon5569]

It's like guaranteed to do bad on console with this guy

[@Shnaider_iji]

I have improved so much with Genji when I change the secondary fire(L2) button to primary(R2) but the problem is that is also change the ultimate attack blade automatically sadly I don’t know how to keep it as it’s without changing my Primary😔

[@JackGard]

Great video. The only thing I would have liked a little more would have been to talk about his primary and secondary fire, as well as his melee. I get the concept of them, but I'm awful with Genji. So a first hand description of when to best utilize which fire mode over the other is nice. Also, with the melee, how much it deals and if there's a proper order of when to use it in a fight. For example.. in close range after dashing, is it better to melee and then secondary, or better to secondary, melee, secondary? Like does the melee action affect how fast your attacks can come out, reload cancel, etc. Otherwise for that small stuff, excellent video. I wanna do more with this character and this hopefully helps up my game!

[@meshary1351]

it is best to secondary then melee. since the melee cancels the fire attack and therefore dealing a chunk of damage in a split second. Ive known this for a while but I didn't practice it well so I'm still not always nailing it perfectly so go ahead and practice.

[@weezhee5009]

i learned the 180 without using guides so i learned it normally and now im pretty smooth

[@AnasFireYT]

THIS HELPED ME SOO0 MUCH TYYYY

[@thiswasmydogbeforeshedied6706]

I don't really like watching Tips and tricks Channels because they are so unreliable, except for this one keep up the good work!

[@JackDaniels-ct5wz]

Not to be mean, but you are talking to new Genji players mostly here, so maybe teach them how to short dash, instead of dashing through a target, and have them 180° yeet that crosshair. If you short dash to their feet, you just have to look back up.

[@GustavoRodrigues-pj4oz]

Great video. Thank you!

[@samuel-uq5tx]

i'm not sure if u said but i think double jump right click, animation cancel dash 180 jump right click is the best

[@the_hiroman]

This video: Recommends to master Genji's combo. Also this video: Doesn't actually explain what is the combo. Yes, I know it is dash, secondary fire followed by melee.

[@joshaplayzxd3783]

I feel I can do all of these things but in the clips u make it look so easy to aim. I play on console and when u see me as Cassidy Genji or sometime a bit of solider, my weapon accuracy is around a 20-30 percent. Aiming in overwatch is the only thing that brings me down

[@itzjo5752]

180 in controller still feels like I’m moving like a rock

[@thundergod7344]

Bruh that 180 combo is so good

[@eve_______]

Damn this is such a good video. Even tho I am mechanically quite good at genji, those are the tips that can take you to Masters and beyond.

[@turki779]

Use secondary fire before anything adding more dps wont harm you

[@kishoofficial6961]

I feel like the confidence thing is a big one. If you just sit there poking until they're low then dash because you don't think you have the ability to kill a soldier guess what if you had the confidence to do it you could easily kill him in less than a second even if he has full health. Those blades you're scared of not getting value just remember just ONE person is worth the ult. You can charge it back relatively quickly

[@whitereaper_x158]

yeah like back when I just started playing genji most characters except some healers (ana) or widow at close range , I wouldn't have the confidence to take on an 1v1, now literally I take 1v2,1v3 and win most of the time, even if I die I take out 1 or 2 atleast, and I'd say genji can dominate every dps / healer except moira / torb / symmetra / mei

[@mvumsiayo3214]

For console players…swap L1 and X inputs. Now X is mapped to your ability and L1 is jump. If you aren’t doing this already then you are sabotaging yourself. Jump on L1 means no more taking your right thumb off of the Right Stick when you wanna jump.

[@fallen_2473]

Ir just switch x and R3*

[@FizzikkOfficial]

It's so hard to practice anything with Genji right now since I am ALWAYS BEING SHOT AT. I am also just trying to find the right controls to use for Genji since the way it is right now is a pain for my pointer finger using the playstation 4 controller. I hope to get a Gaming PC this christmas and start using mouse and keyboard. I've been wanting one for years

Does anyone have some tips to deal with Cassidy's new magnetic nade when playing Genji? I know some people will tell me to just git gud but I swear that nade feels so cheap, Cassidy can just throw it when you are barely close and it auto tracks and does so much damage that you die almost instantly. And it's not just playing Genji that it gets annoying, with other DPS and Supports it feels super cheap too. Only when playing tanks it doesn't feel as bad since you have more health.

[@alexsvedegard]

For Genji, I'd recommend either not engaging fully until it's already on CD or try to bait it into deflect with something like a dive. You'd be surprised how many McCree players panic throw that thing into their own faces when a Genji closes the distance

That's custom game settings. Also, sens wise use whatever you feel is best. But if you're looking for pointers, Necros who is widely considered one of the best Genjis in the world uses 3200dpi with 2,5% in-game sens. I personally use 1250 dpi with 3.2% in-game as it works well for me.

One question i feel kinda bad that i dont get like the 5k Blades and i wanted to ask if 2-3 kill blades are good. Because every time i go in with the blade with my team i only do 1-3 kills and it kinda opsets me.

[@alexsvedegard]

5k blades basically never happen, and if they do, it's because of coordinated effort with your entire team, so don't feel bad about that in the slightest. A lot of new Genji mains hold on to their ult for way to long to get that "perfect blade", but in reality, even a single kill with the blade can swing the tides of the battle. With OW2's new 5v5 style, this is truer than ever. A single pick is HUGE. Getting 2 kills with a solo blade is an amazing ult. Use it when the situation presents itself, and test around! :)
