Aim Trainers (Aim Lab, Kovaak's) static aiming guide (Sixshot, 1wall 6targets small)

[@nervz]

technique summary: - flick very fast with arm, and land pretty close to the dot - microcorrect with wrist (take ur time with the micro correction) -conciously try to underflick b/c it reduces overall distance

[@hedysom3513]

Don't be that limited, it's not a Bible. If you are using high sens (other games like OW and Apex) so it's not always your arm/wrist but sometimes it is wrist/fingers.

There's an expression used in the military to describe how you improve at tasks: "Slow is smooth; smooth is fast." The idea is to try to nail PERFECTLY the task you're trying to do, and over time you speed up through repetition. Eventually those slow perfect movements will build in speed as you gain experience.

[@kiseijuu7420]

Just watch the netero's training from hunter x hunter as an exemple, at first, he just wanted to pray 10000 times everyday, slowly, perfectly, cause he felt gratitude and wanted to truly express it, the first time, it took him the whole day to finish it. After years, he could do these 10000 prayers in only 1 hour, and managed to throw punchs faster than sound.

[@bobcobb158]

the flick fast, and take your time micro correcting was the perfect tip to break my plateau. Finally hit diamond benchmarks on voltaic today after using this method to break my 1w4ts plateau. Tracking is a breeze for me, but static dots are taking time to learn.. thanks for the vid bard, awesome guide

[@zZeeq7]

Good video, agree with everything pretty much. Regarding what static is good for, a simple way it put it, is that it's good to be able to land you crosshair where you want. Also regarding speed vs accuracy, it's hard to say what is the correct approach, you have me, area, mbm who went for speed, and then you, who went for accuracy, and i find it hard to tell who is better between you and mbm atm. Also for real games, you can say someone who went for speed with 70% accuracy, is going to win more 1v1 duels, because he is going to shoot first, so it doesnt matter if the enemy has 100% accuracy, if he is going to be the secondary shooter anyways.

[@DevinDTV]

Honestly the 2-step aiming thing isn't even practical for real games. In reality you just do one flick and if you miss you try again, 99.9% of the time. You even see it in this video in the valorant clips; he's just doing one flick to the target, no micro-correction. The only reason it's useful in 1w6ts is because the targets are so far apart while also being very small. 6 sphere hipfire is way more similar to real scenarios (much smaller angle between targets).

[@mejxe]

@@DevinDTV I think that he's actually 2-step aiming in game, but he became so good at it that it's hard to see the micro-correction part. Mostly he just lands one flick that close, that his micro is very small. Imo 2-step aiming is good, but only if u become so good at it, that you don't have to correct alot of distance.

[@dokkie9979]

@@mejxe 2step aiming in game is extremely situational, its useful to know for sure, but u only use it for big flicks when ure surprised by an enemy, but in a game like valorant if you have to microcorrect alot it means ur crosshair placement is bad, you should have to barely adjust shots if youre playing correctly, and even when you do it should only be a single tiny flick

[@DevinDTV]

@@mejxe he's not

[@DJS12345678]

@@DevinDTV I mean he does the same technique for 6 sphere too (#1 legit score afaik) you just don't see the 2-step because the micro-correction is less obvious with each dot. Also yeah literally everyone micro-corrects in games. The crosshair placement just replaces the majority of the flick. Your crosshair should be very close to the enemy in general and you should only be correcting for the specific peek they're taking (in Valo)

[@morcosnabil1403]

this cant be called a guide, this is legitmately a course we should all appreciate and support him for putting such crucial info in a free to watch video that we almost gonna never find anywhere else

[@MarioWizzz]

Dude. You literally described the exact same philosophy I am using. But learning that you were stuck for so long (as I am right now)....man its getting hard. Its frustrating. Of course, someone will not understand this. But I am highly competitive but when you realize you're not that good. When you know you can be so much better.... You want to improve. Doing the grind. It is so...dreadful. When you stagnate (the process of unlearning the bullshit and slowly improving your better habits). Anyway, I dont wanna get this longer, its already long...but yea, thank you a lot for this. Great reminder even if you know...its a grind.

[@innaaii]

Hey, a little bit late but any update on your progress? Out of curiousity

[@MarioWizzz]

​@@innaaii hey, necroing me :D erm...ups and downs... in terms of dynamic, static, evasive scenarios i am in 95+ percentile in most scenarios. some 99 and such. smooth scenarios i am in 90+ percentiles, some better some worse. reactive is around 80+ ....i have some 90+ percentile scenarios. when i wrote that comment i was only good in static scenarios, everything else was complete garbage. for example, my reactive scenarios were 60 on a good day. smooth was 70-80ish. dynamic was all over the place. it happened like two months ago when i figured it out how to be relaxed but firm in my grip. trying a lot to improve my focus on the target lately. i stopped "zoning" out during my training. since its not training. if i am not focused, i dont train. i rather stop and go play some game. playing with 38cm 360. dav3pro and saturn currently waiting for pulsar xlite v3 (large) and a mix from saturn and jupiter from LGG as well.

[@innaaii]

@@MarioWizzz I see, thanks for the insight man. Consistent practice every day did the trick?

[@NekoViper]

On metronomes: They are very good for newer players who can use the metronome at a lower pace that provides time to correct after flicking and stomp out the habit of shooting immediately after the first flick. I used them when I was new to fps, and they helped until I started getting into the top 20-30% of scores on tasks.(which is pretty quick if you're serious about training) Like he says in the video: being dynamic in your aim is important, and when you get to a certain speed the metronome won't allow enough time for corrections when you need them.

[@amphat1594]

i’ve played 300 hours of kovvakks & im only just realising this now nice to hear it put into actual english & not just feelings i have ahah

[@SilkyCrisp]

Thanks for this video, i knew fast flick + micro correction was how I got better scores, but always thought drawing smooth straight lines from dot to dot was the "correct" way

[@painy6588]

The straighter the line the less wasted movement the faster the higher the score. So its not wrong. Humans just arent perfect enough so mostly straight line, decently accurate + micro correction comes out as optimal.

[@bonfiggy5620]

Static advice from static legend himself! Thank you :)

[@DevinDTV]

The point of a metronome is to use it as your minimum speed between targets, but still allow yourself to go faster when you can. It's very helpful for breaking plateaus sometimes.

[@FlipsMG]

This is exactly what I did when I started aim training, but after months of doing it this EXACT method I completely plateaued and realized when I started turning off my brain and not even confirming mentally if my crosshair was over a target I started breaking all my plateaus and CRUSHING my previous scores instantly. I'm not saying that this way isn't valid or right to do, maybe me doing that initially was necessary to build the control I needed to be accurate enough while turning my brain off and going for speed. Either way, that's how I progressed extremely quickly in aim trainers.

[@aarondinio8258]

i would say the way how he explained it is the best way to actualy train. If u try to ignore the rules and just keep you focus on clicking you will land a new high score bcs you learned something already and now you can see your actuall improvement.

[@juuliano1383]

My score instantly improved after applying what you taught in this video. I'm definitely subscribing

[@Ehxx]

This is a great point, I think with a lot of things I've forgot about going slow first. (walk before you run). When I was taught to run an excavator for example, I was told to literally put the machine on a lower speed and slowly progress when practicing accurate grading. After a few days you get decent with it. It was always weird seeing people grade perfectly at full speed and I think thats part of the pitfall for a lot of people. You see someone do something at incredible speed and think you can just go through the motions. Which may work for some to a point, but this seems like a better way for to train your hand-eye coordination.

[@solly3p]

really smart really useful. I play an instrument so I have the same philosophy but I've never stuck to it grinding through low scores. thanks dude

[@KindOldRaven]

Great video and explanation! PS: your records are pretty insane. I've been a casual shooter player for like 15 years (I'm old) and I always did muuuuch better in games like CS/Val than in others. Never took it serious and mostly played casuals and DMs and stuff. Decided to do some aiming benchmarks in Kovaak and it showed me exactly why: I instantly hit diamond in most voltaic static-dot variants, yet only hit between bronze and gold in tracking scenarios.

[@ApostropheYT]

2 uploads in 2 days my brain cant handle so much awesomeness

[@KiLVaiDeN]

Thanks Bardoz for the excellent video, hope you'll invest some more time on "aiming science" :)) I think there is also some basics that weren't corevered on this video for this kind of exercice : - Always have in mind your next target, and probably consciously visualize the pattern you'll follow on the next 4 to 5 shoots. This way, you know where you are going to flick, and how far. Having a good knowledge of the dots repartition is crucial into succeeding in this exercise. You have to somehow pay attention to newly spawned dots in order to know which pattern you will follow. - Don't do this exercise "passively". It's important to be focused on the task, because doing it passively, like while listenning to music hoping to beat a score is not going to build the muscle memory as well as doing it fully focused and conscious of your actions. So maybe use a white noise sound, something that permits focusing, instead of a fast beat that your brain will synchronize to while not being exactly the rythm you need in game. - About sensivity : Find the sweet spot between a fast enough and a too fast sens, that permits you to get from one side of the screen to another in one "easy" movement. By "easy", I mean fairly consistantly achievable, while still not having to "crisp" the arm or hand while micro correcting. Give the "PSA method" a try for this matter. - Another advice I can give about this, is to go some minutes on free play before any challenge sessions. By not having the pressure of "scoring", you relax your hand and your mind, and you learn even better. Then when confortable, you'll be able to do a good score for sure. - Pay attention to your posture, and adjust the height of your screen to a confortable level. Often people forget about their posture while "trying hard" and it leads to even less good performance. - Drink some water from time to time. Don't over drink, but don't forget to drink either. The brain needs to work at its max for those tasks and water is very important. Also, breathing and calming down in between sessions, is important. Drink some water, empty your mind by taking some deep breaths, then get ready to rock ! - About going accuracy first before speeding up, from my own experience, it's important to be "at ease" with your aiming, and being slow but accurate at first seems like a good plan. When you are at ease with your aim, you can speed up, because you have a foundation on which to improve. If you try to get faster without control, you'll be like those headless chicken, maybe you'll beat a score once in a while, but never have consistant performance. The most important thing is to find a stability in scores, from which to improve, step by step.

[@ethanwasme4307]

that dot thing is so true... when you're comfortable you can start learning how to look at a target and have that dot "turn black" ;)

[@Neuroszima]

i also have heard a lot of different opinions, that i "should do this do that", and i will have certain questions for you, if you will ever read it, which will be nice 1:50 - I have started with my gaming experience being none, basically i picked up Kovaaks and my first ever score was around 20-25% accuracy at CLSI, i picked it up beacuse i felt i am 20 years of PvP experience behind everyone else... 3:50 - how about, talking in terms of scores, sacrificing a desired amount of time in freeplay and forgetting this "challenge only, do the playlists" mentality, which is pure garbage in my personal opinion, and then "benchmark/challenge" when feeling ready? I found an advantage that i don't get constantly interrupted (with scenario ending) and mad at myself that i failed the challenge, i don't get to play with RNG some scenarios are prone to (like for example slightly closer faster-to-flick-to arrangements of dots in 1w6t TE) and affect the score? Also some of the challenges are badly designed, Vertical strafes require you to flick upwords at the start of every challenge. Nobody did present to me advantage of playing challenges, and when asked i saw response with one word and one word only - "challenges" - like they were blindly following the cult. 4:30 - ok, i finally found peace, thank you, i wanted to make a comment about how at 1:28 most of it seemed like "flick immidietaly with one move" but you touched on this so i am happy 7:30 - i find music, any kind, extreamly distracting just because i have some sort of metronome in my head that dictates speed when i hear the rythm, i do everything with just the sound from the game 8:45 - would grind them because targets in the game i play are increadibly small on my screen and with my FoV, any practice on them is incredibly valuable, also to flick to heads better (no need to explain head is way smaller than full hitbox) All in all very nice video i liked it, made me more motivated to play

I may be wrong but my understanding of "cross hair placement" is not skill based like static flick to fixed location, but in my opinion knowledge based for example, knowing a map understanding when a person is walking around a corner/up a ramp/ using stairs/ or any other type of situation you know where there head will be so preplacing your x hair there is obviously going to be a huge advantage.

Thank you. Helped me to jump from 650 where I was stuck for a while to 840. I've been beating records one after another for last two days. :) I've started using my forearm to aim in 1wall6targets small, but I still prefer to use a wrist and fingers in many other scenarios (Reflex Flick - Easy for example). Thinking about is it necessary to start using forearm as main to aim, or I wouldl manage to improve with wrist+fingers. It is hard for me to understand how to fight against fast moving enemy in close quarters if I use forearm. Mousepad seem too small for this. Even my (which is bigger than yours). I used to die a lot because of that.

[@DanKurtt]

I switch sens everyday or sometimes a couple times a day, it has never impact my performance, get mouse control through Kovaaks and ingame, that's more important than using the same sens in every game.

Try .2 sens. Your sens is way too high probably. A lot of pro valorant players play at 1600DPI with a sens between .1 and .2. I had the same problem as you, and after dropping my sens down to .2 its been a game changer. At first it felt hella slow but now it feels way way better than before.
