Hi! The questions for this video were pulled from qnas I did on twitter and patreon, but there were a few questions from there that didn't make the cut for this so I made a vid answering those for patreons! Some of the questions were things like do genetics matter in aiming, should I predict or react, how do underaiming and edge tracking differ, a brief overview of tension management and a few others. I plan on covering most of these in videos here in the future but in the meantime u can check it out there if you are interested

Hello viscose, I have a question, there's 1 specific exercise that I enjoy more than all others in aimlabs: pokeball, medium size wall, many small targets. How bad would it be if 90%+ of my aim routine was just repeating this exercise? I practice it in different ways, focusing on speed, on smoothness, on acceleration/desacceleration, underflicking, fluidity, etc. I have fun in it and I love being top 3 weekly every week and progressing by playing it a lot. The amount of time needed to invest in many other scenarios is frustrating, so I only do tracking and dynamic clicking occasionally to complement. How bad am I fucking up? Is it a complete waste of time or am I still getting a lot better at mouse control, just going a bit slower than people who train in a very 'complete' way?
@iitsMikeBАй бұрын
I have some very important questions as well: - When do I know that I'm on a skypad? - Is it good to infuse my mousepad with pickle juice for more control? - Have you heard about the bowling-min-max method? It's when you put a cucumber on either side of the mousepad to act as guard rails. - What does pot of greed do? - Is it good to use resin on the back of the mouse to make your hand stick? Oh yeah and since changing to the LGG saturn from the Aqua Control Plus, I can definitely confirm that mousepads are more important than some people realize. Oh yeah, and if you'd ever want the Saturn inside your spreadsheet. It's "textured" on the verge of abrasive, barely any static friction, quite a bit of dynamic friction with a soft amount of stopping power. I know that probably doesn't mean anything in your sheet since it's based on numbers, but as a guideline, it might work. And lastly, SCOD is more revolutionary than people think, because game studios might be inclined to add SCOD into their games to prevent hall effect users from gaining too much of a competitive advantage. I would either not allow it in pro play, or wait until games have it implemented to allow it.

Feel like some people (myself included) think a lot on mice and mousepads. But one thing I feel like most people think, is that having a bad mouse or mousepad gives them the thought of “no point in trying until etc” I personally have really good scores on voltaic despite having a bad (dogshit) mousepad. Naturally when I do switch I will do better, but if I didn’t already work on getting to that level beforehand switching to better stuff wouldn’t make a difference. And I feel like the thought of being held back, holds people back the most.

With equipment, there is a bit of diminishing returns with more expensive gear. The difference you will see from going from 60 fps to 144 is greater than the difference you would see from 144 to 220 or whatever. I also appreciate the statement about the most important thing is going to be time put in. For any skill, the main determining factor in how good people get is the time they put into practicing. There is a good veritasium video about how to improve at any task and I think a lot of it is relevant here.

I have a very old 144hz monitor and when I turn even slightly fast in a game, all I see is insane ghosting and blur, nothing else. Good motion clarity is the biggest buff I think, and bying 360hz+ monitors for the sake of less input delay is completely useless imo

As a former college athlete, I like the way you described the warmup vs practice. In swimming, your practice focuses on developing your technique, but also pushing you to your limit and then pushing that limit further and further. Warmup at a meet or competition is simply to get the blood flowing or "warm" so you aren't jumping straight into your event with your muscles not ready/not in the mode of working. You might put effort into a warmup but you aren't trying to tire yourself out.

@logantaylor1834Ай бұрын
To add to the point at 10:39, If you find yourself thinking that your setup or choice of peripherals is holding you back, I encourage you to pick up a Fighting Game, where pretty much none of that matters. If you think you need an arcade stick or some other kind of special controller to do so, you really don't. Normal Xbox & Playstation controllers work just fine, and leverless arcade controllers, which are considered some of the best FG controllers, are pretty much glorified keyboards anyway. Playing a Fighting game really does help with your mental around external factors like this, so I hope people at least think about this.
@pitlАй бұрын
You should definitely upgrade your peripherals to get to a certain baseline though, since a 5 dollar office mouse on a bad mousepad and 60hz monitor would definitely be considered as a limiting factor. Not to say that it's impossible to get good with those specs, but it will definitely be a lot harder.
@CryfailsАй бұрын
I agree with your sentiment. And think that most players shouldn't worry about peripherals. However, there is a competitive advantage to having the best technology. Leverless arcade sticks have been proven to have an advantage in frames and inputs than other controllers, besides maybe a keyboard. So if someone with a high skill level wants an advantage then upgrading would be worth it IMO
@logantaylor1834Ай бұрын
@@pitl I'll agree with you there. Though I'd guess that the amount of money that you'd need to put in to get those areas up to an acceptable level (without touching your PC) is more or less the same as my arcade stick (roughly $100, and even then, an arcade stick is more of a "feel" thing than anything else). I'm not sure though, I don't know too much about PC gaming (I'm a console peasant).
@logantaylor1834Ай бұрын
@@Cryfails I do see where you're coming from, though that largely doesn't matter unless you're playing for money, where people are taking all of the advantages they can get (even if there aren't many in the first place). You can get a leverless controller and shave off as much input delay as you want, but the beauty of fighting games is that they can be played on nearly anything. I play on a really bad TV and still get somewhere in Street Fighter.

Hi great video once again! I know you mentioned that different sensitivities cater to different games. For example, higher sens being preferred in overwatch because of the fast paced and all over the screen gameplay, and lower sens being preferred in more accuracy demanding games like csgo and valorant. Shouldn’t high sens players switch to low sens in csgo and valorant to play at their highest or most optimal levels? for example Demon1 in valorant plays using 160 edpi vs forsaken who plays on a sens that exceeds 700 edpi. Both are incredible players, however, wouldn’t forsaken benefit more if he lowered his sensitivity? You don’t really need a sens so high that you can do like four 360s with one mouse swipe 😂

Personally I always train after I have played. I only do a tiny warm up before playing and noticed I generally play much better like this and can make better decisions. If I aim train before platying, I kind of fall into an auto pilot during a match and just try to aim, forgetting what's actually happening in the round.

For me ideal fps session would look like this: Quick warm-up before, less than 15 minutes (even less than 10 is okay). Then game (1.5-2 hrs). Then skill training session (20-30 minutes). Plus, if you play long sessions you should be taking rest breaks if you're playing for multiple hours at a time
