Deadlock Advanced Movement Guide, Beyond The Basics

[@Deagin]

Top tier movement guide. I've seen a few movement guides and they spend 10 minutes explaining what a dash is or a dash-jump. This is some tech I have never seen in my games. OFF TO THE SANDBOX

[@Schizug]

My gripe with the other guides too! Wanted to give a better intro to real advanced movement.

[@brubie7584]

​@@Schizugbasic movement guides are useful too, but it is so nice having a guide that is for people that have played a decent amount

[@cycy8699]

both, both are necessary

[@markfarrell1631]

I really enjoy the item that gives you temporary buffs using dash jump before going into a fight, makes survivability significantly better

[@Sammysapphira]

​​@@cycy8699 Yes, but a "pro movement guide" shouldn't spend 10 minutes explaining the basic controls...... Furthermore, all basic controls are covered in the tutorial.... Waste sludge guides are a huge problem on youtube.

[@fastest1321]

Something you may have missed, or maybe you intentionally left it out because it's basic, but at 8:56 to get into the building beside the walker, Wraith does a DASH-DOWN to get down into the door. Double tapping crouch while in the air will shoot your character straight down which is good for avoiding bullets so you're not falling in a slow, predictable arc downward, and as we saw in the video can avoid ceilings etc. Great video Schizug! You said at the beginning you're skipping basic movement and getting straight into advanced movement tech which got me excited, and then you delivered 👍

[@jimi5314]

The most educational Deadlock movement guides I've seen. The slowing down of the action, and the inputs were pog

[@theninjahobo5393]

would be nice to include inputs for the featured footage / a demo but I appreciate showcasing the person and rating it in terms of skill level

[@jdotaing]

Mad as. You added the cracked Wraith movement from the stream. Good stuff 👍

[@Schizug]

I told y'all I wouldn't be happy without including it!

[@strawberryfrogforever]

I finally hit the secret shop escape maneuver last night and it felt incredible

[@Djenta94]

Movement tech in this game reminds me of butterfly / Kstyle sword movement in GunZ the duel as a kid. man.

Exactly why I'm in love with this game right now!

[@frogaroach]

Something i see go very underutilized is double tapping crouch to immediately go to the ground. Ive seen a good few people die because they are stuck in air the after something like a viscous or bebop punch.

[@josephreynolds2401]

I thought this was a thing but didn't know it was a double tap and was gutted in the air a few times.

[@kiirbstomp]

This is huge for dodging a grey talon Ult. You can ride zipline to bait the bird high, then double crouch off 1 second before he detonates it

[@troner1642]

Great guide and thank you for the time stamps Not drawn out and filled with content and applicable examples Please make more advancement movement break down from movement gods that was really helpful at the end!

[@rmaatn606]

Your dedication to making accessible and informative content is admirable. You are hands down the best deadlock channel I'm aware of. If I wasn't so broke I'd donate to your channel. These videos have helped make learning deadlock expedient and fun when mobas have been above me for so long. Thanks so much!

[@quaker5712]

Exactly the video I needed. It's been bugging me how I can't maintain speed off a zip line. I was pressing jump instead of crouch. I think it makes sense that jumping doesn't carry momentum as getting that extra jump would allow for crazy distances off a zip line. Thanks so much! Edit: Finished the video. Holy moly, you can dash, double jump and wall jump with that momentum! I will probably never be as good as those in the clips but it's so refreshing to see hardcore movement in a popular multiplayer game. Coming from playing Quake this makes me happy.

[@ArcticWolfOfficial]

Crazy how good people have already gotten

[@frogery]

i don't know how long you've been making online content but this is your time, very nice work.

[@yoojmemba5769]

The best channel for educational Deadlock content ❤

[@brandonloesch4986]

kind of included when you mentioned carrying momentum, but if you wall jump while falling from height you can get a lot of vertical speed/distance allowing you to get places that otherwise would require stamina

[@crude-dude]

These are such high quality and well written guides. This channel is such an easy sub.

[@acewylden3766]

It is such a good feeling to watch these guides and say "Okay so that thing I did one time was actually tech" I was brainstorming the wall jump crouch off lines to traverse lanes faster because it felt so slow to just slide there after frictionless dropping. That being said, I could not figure out slide bunny hopping, it's as simple as *not* letting go of crouch?? Rough but we are learning! Thanks Schizug and also thanks for reminding me to subscribe, I've gone to your channel a lot to teach friends and you're always in my recommended so didn't even notice I wasn't subbed already.

[@evanshaner991]

As he said in the video, you actually just press jump without ever letting go of the crouch key

[@haveiszalfaroqie]

What I found is that you can't do bunny hopping off of the 1-stam dash-slide. You can only do it with the 2-stam dash-jump, in case if that's what you've been doing.

[@ShyTheRula]

That advanced tech that got the wraith into the slot machine room is definitely what I been trying to practice. I notice all the pro level players utilizing it. I didn’t realize how much wall jumping helps

[@Shibzahara]

I was wondering how streamers maintained so much momentum after the zip lines. Thank you! This is a massive upgrade to my current movement

[@arminhg2978]

bro thanks again, i just watched your brilliant video and now i undrestand how to fast vault jump like that, you are a legend for sharing this, much love. if anyone wants to know its in 9:20 again much love for the absolute fantastic and helpful video and thanks to the guy who did this tech and we learning grom him/her

[@Dr.Boring]

worth noting that side dashes eem to have more reach and speed that forward ones so it can be beneficial to turn ninety degrees while moving around at certain points

[@lue64]

another thing to mention is that air strafing exists in deadlock, like in other source game. it's much weaker compared to tf2 or cs2 but it does allow you to correct your air momentum slightly

[@gwentarinokripperinolkjdsf683]

I mean, air strafing exist in most games, but the "strafe bug" exist in deadlock, however this game has air friction so it's very very weak. Specifically, the strafe bug is caused by the game enforcing a speed cap by only checking the speed you are going in the direction of acceleration

[@Mythicalgoon]

​@@gwentarinokripperinolkjdsf683I tried looking up the strafe bug and maybe I could understand it if I read your description longer but as I'm getting older. Can you explain what you mean by locking the speed cap in relation to the direction your accelerating in? I don't quite understand

[@Chucboris]

@@Mythicalgoonso first comment is saying you can hold d while turning camera right to turn midair, 2nd comment is talking about how in a lot of source games, it only caps your speed while holding w, but if you hold d and turn your camera, you accelerate past the cap because you aren’t moving “forward” your strafing, thus ignoring the speed cap because spaghetti

[@Mythicalgoon]

@@Chucboris ohhhhhh interesting as hell thank you!

[@dbd6393]

[@skootz24]

I'd love so see some 'optimized' Urn runs. Seems like a good way to put a lot of this tech to good use.

[@hyoungjinpark5877]

as a beginner here this is super helpful. much appreciated my brother!

[@basbrouwer9660]

The sheer amount of input you do on the keyboard between movement, abilities and items is quite overwhelming. Playing Invoker in dota is pretty chill in comparison. I'm building up my muscle memory one layer at a time, have barely even touched the crouch button

[@I-OGameDev]

Great title/ thumbnail, really tempting click

[@SwedishSword]

The shop wall jump can actually be done without a charged melee attack, and also when approaching it the left or right sides of your body. It just requires angling the camera to grab the ledge afterwards.

[@Dudeinator]

For the secret shop jump, you can use it off 3 different walls. But with the method you showed, you dont actually need a heavy melee, just walljumping lookup and then repress space to mount.

[@natclo9229]

In middle lanes you can wall jump onto bridge without needing to heavy melee (on the bird statue). You can also wall jump off the corner to get up without melee on both sides. I learnt this while practicing this tech!

[@leonmarley776]

Great video man. No bullshit straight to the point and alot of info i didnt know thank you this will really help my gameplay!

now i'm in an epmpty map spamming movement skills, thx bruh

[@Paacix]

FOR ANYONE who's having trouble jumping while sliding: I had the same problem, but changing slide away from left CTRL fixed it for me.

[@edvinas-1146]

The zipline jump at 8:45 into double jump wall jump punch is not needed the reach the roof there, you can just jump unto zipline, crouch, side jump and double jump at correct time and you will grab unto the roof. Doesn't look as fancy though.

[@KaelosZz]

Great video as always bro

[@Dovak]

The highly advanced movement tech was the one i was missing. Thanks a lot ! :D

[@agre3202]

I’ve been doing a lot of this for a while, it’s nice to have it all in one place to teach my friends! Next layer is Viscous puddle punch rocket jumps added in 😉

[@СергейКот-д4щ]

6:54 You can do the same without using heavy melee. Just wall jump and then hold space after a short delay. No stamina bar spent.

[@curiosity_prime]

Another awesome vid Schizug! I’ve learned so much from your channel already. Was interested for an idea for a future video, maybe a guide for the console commands and how you can use them to supplement learning/training? I know some commands, but a lot of creators use the commands to demonstrate stuff. Would be interesting to hear your perspective on ways to utilize them to supplement learning!

Good shit man! Wall to wall quality tips. Pun intended.

[@MelloGrunty]

i hit the walljump off of secret shop in a game the other day (shoutouts to eskay) but i was still using a double jump to make it through. gonna have to practice the charge melee shenanigans, good stuff again

[@Nemuhakoroshita]

little fact : for the walljump in the mid shops, you can use the shop for it but also nearly every wall around, as long as you time your heavy good and you are aiming the ceiling (and for the walljump on the shop in the sapphire side you don't even need to heavy if done perfectly >w< )

[@tomrevay146]

Sliding is super fun. I'm not much of an adrenaline junkie but I'll make sure to try to spend my stamina more efficiently from here on out. Jumping forward twice with lady geist has NOT gotten my ass out of trouble very often...

[@andriodmanitee]

[@brecht9322]

I gasped at the secret shop trick

[@dizigned193]

Great tips! Well made video as well. I've already been doing these by accident lol

[@fruitytuesdayz5760]

bhops are like really good after ziplines. u can seriously hold onto the momentum better than if u did a slide jump. i find you can usually get like 2 bhops consistently and the 3rd is a coin flip. 10:02 here u could of just done the dismount zipline -> airdash -> some bhops

[@coolgate3872]

gotta abuse the zipline to wall jump more. i have only recently used basic wall jump tech. your wraith example was SMOOTH af, and opened up my mind to exploring more wall jump techs around the map. I'd like to share one wall jump thats i use commonly aside from the secret shop one. around the urn, below the powerup bridge, you can wall jump into double jump into mantle to basically climb it up. very easy jukes from there if the enemy doesn't abuse basic wall jump.

[@wildwolf3938]

Phenomenal guide, thank you!

[@phuchoang9756]

Bro gon blow up like aceu with his movements guide

[@fastest1321]

Is it just me or is the wall jump melee to get above the mid shop gone now?

[@c1majesty85]

hey, this might be a bit late but you should learn melee canceling. it works with certain character and item abilities (the ones that aren't grayed out during heavy punches). if you jump, heavy melee and right before the punch connects use an ability like fleet foot, you can actually preserve some energy into a slide.

[@Asilvorcarp]

great work. subscribed

[@BeniaminG_]

[@zanydruid4717]

One thing I've seen people never discuss is item or character restricted movement tech, like comboing majestic leap or the extra stamina air jumps or lash movement etc. I know that's because it's very hyper specific but SOMEONE should make a video on it

[@peacelounge]

great stuff! Thank you!

[@4fterlyfe]

I think its INSANE that there are this many movement mechanics and the game 1) is far from complete and 2) has only been out for a couple months. Imagine how high the skill ceiling will go once players have had years to hone their skills.

[@lilthreadd]

i really, really wish you emphasized retention of momentum more. i thought you were gonna mention it when talking about the slides at the beginning, since you cant jump out of a slide when doing it from a dash on the ground, but you can jump from the slide from any other movement option (one of which you demonstrated with the dash jump side), including air dashing and sliding on slopes. you specifically mention escaping/chasing down someone, so i dont see why you would not want to jump from the slide, since you can keep momentum by just jumping from your slide before friction begins slowing you down. it took until 8:20 when youre showing the clip of wraith bhopping after jumping from the fan

[@ChinchillaDave]

God I love this game. Thank you for the great guide!

[@arminhg2978]

thanks and much love for the helpful video.

[@rickee2019]

[@markanthmore]

As a lash player 6:26 is a fucking game changer.

[@R41D]

Something I would of pointed out that is movement specific that I see noobs make mistake wise. is when being chased back to ur base. when people have no stamina and are in the left and right pit entrance to the main base shop. People just spam jump or wait for stamina. a Simple wall jump without even adding a heavy punch can get you up back into base. (people also never use either of the doors in the main base to retreat/fight from because I honestly think the Low elo/New people just dont know about them)

[@Happyburn]

Dude this is amazing, please teach me more.

[@GageMason]

When doing the secret shop escape there is a bush up top that you can jump on to then wall jump + double jump up over the entire building and escape onto the midboss structure. Rly jukes people out.

You should almost always be crouch dropping off the zip. I considered it assumed at that point.

[@acewylden3766]

@@Schizug Speaker may be referring to down dashing or double tapping crouch while in air.

[@xSpeakerYT]

@@Schizug No, i'm talking about double tapping crouch to drop to the ground when you're in the air. Doing this uses a stamina bar but puts you on the ground faster.

MY EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED ONCE MORE time to start practicing

[@carrotjuice.6839]

Theres a bug where you can retain the momentum of heavy melee in the air by using active abilities that turn on passives (fleetfoot, vampiric burst). Simply heavy melee in the air and use the ability right after.

[@dumbvillage9253]

I found slide hopping to be awesome on Characters like Shiv. He lets you conserve the momentum of a single mid-air dash with m2. You can cover insane distances by using m2 correctly without even having any items.

[@dotapazappy]

For the shoplift tech you don't even have to heavy melee you just have to be holding space from my experience. Maybe it's movement speed based or reliant on having items though not fully sure.
