How 2 Not SUCK At Omega Strikers | Beginners Guide & Tips

[@screamlng2011]

Y'all, this is honestly some fantastic advice. I'm about 60% of my way through high gold and have gotten to play with and against multiple plat gamers, and yet I still see people chasing the ball, refusing to spread, being impatient with cooldowns, or not properly passing. I can't tell you how many games i've won just because of the enemy team forgetting how to properly position themselves, which is something that is possible even with almost 0 communication. Thank you very much for enlightening the masses of high silver hell, and I can't wait to both make some crazy team plays with randos and get my ass thoroughly beaten by them XD Edit: I’m in high plat/low diamond now and good god people won’t stop chasing the ball, especially those without burst movement options (X, Juli, Era, Drek to an extent, etc). Sometimes you just gotta trust your teammates and don’t let that soloq trauma get to you lol

[@cynicalradicand]

Yeah, just like I said in the intro even high rank players sometimes just go brain dead and forget the basics.

[@maquirlizarraga6829]

Yeah I'm guilty of breaking those laws my self mostly after I played about an hour and am too tired to keep up haha

[@iamraginghard4486]

One huge thing goes mainly for low elo. Remember that you can go elusive. I keep seeing people dying to and banning Vyce when you can sacrifice a third of your energy to go literally invincible for a duration. You don’t HAVE TO save for energy burst, losing your life is way more dangerous than losing your meter.

[@cynicalradicand]

Oh yes for sure! Everyone only saves for core flips and then just die lol

[@elgescherwerauchimmer700]

This video has insanely good editing and really good tips... but I'll still be using the controller instead of WASD and you can't stop me

Thank you for that last section. Nearly quit the game a couple days ago primarily because of a string of toxic teammates. You can have competitive fire without being a jerk and deeming other players. Everyone learns and grows and a different pace.

Yes, that's a very healthy mindset you have there. Just take everything at your own pace.

Thanks for the support! And thanks for spreading the knowledge.

[@tuoritto]

Really nice video and great editing! The usage of emotes was quite hilarious at times. I do want to say though, that some of the moments made it a bit hard to hear you/focus on your voice due to other sounds (most notably, when you were talking about not chasing the ball, where Juno said "Thanks, Friend!" and Drekar replied... Something. I couldn't make it out, and kinda missed what you were saying, too) On the tips! Very nice and informative, and even if I knew most of it, it's a nice reminder, thanks!

[@cynicalradicand]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll take that into consideration for future videos.

Beautiful vid, really has everything that I would want a player to know when starting the game, in under 10 minutes too. Even talks about kissin your homies, unironically super important, ppl have no idea how much your win% goes up when your teammates want your juli heart emotes and not just their W.

[@cynicalradicand]

Yes, to be honest I should have included kissing the homies as its own 30 minute section because of how important it is.

[@4thsin098]

finally someone said it, the intro alone already got my approval, absolutely 0 sugarcoating, loved it that said, the video itself was legitimately educational you pointed out all the mistakes I've seen often and gave out short + simple solution(s), 10/10 definitely a must watch for anyone who wants to learn

[@cynicalradicand]

[@angeloid_]

currently fighting my way out of high silver hell. I play Drek'ar goalie and I've been getting a lot better at clearing, but I keep seeing my number of saves decreasing rather than increasing! I never stopped and thought that it might be a good thing! I'm getting better at always passing most importantly where the enemies AREN'T, and when I can, to my teammates. But with my most recent games having saves as low as 50, and shots on enemy goal as high as 40, I've been worrying that I might be playing too aggressively. Turns out I'm just improving my positioning and clearing to have those opportunities! in other news, HOOOOLY moly this is some legendary editing and great audience retention, not at all what you would expect from only 800 subs! keep this up, i laughed out loud several times

[@cynicalradicand]

Niiiiice, good to see you are improving. Also respect the Drek' goalie, he's so underrated. And thanks for the support :)

4:40 this line alone singlehandedly describes every solo queue i've been in, no matter how much i open myself to a pass, there's always this ONE Numbnuts who refuses to pass, and when they did. they immediately blink over to me and ruin the shot.

[@cynicalradicand]

Yup, unfortunately sometimes it just be like that... You kinda just have to hold still and spam the pass callout and hope they figure it out. But hey, that's why I made this video and hope to get it out to all those new players out there because they probably don't even realise they are doing it wrong (it is a complicated game Afterall)

[@PikaMewleMiaouss]

So I started playing pretty much a few days ago, spamming Coop VS AI for 3 days to adapt to the game because I did not want to engage in PvP and accidentally score into my own goal. Afterwards, I started doing normals and I thought I wouldn't go into ranked until I reach a specific point to make sure to have enough practice. And then, I watched your video. And now I'm back spamming Coop VS AI to adapt to the WASD controls (well... ZQSD on my end) for god-knows how long. So thank you for your advices! ~

Thank you so much for this! I just got the game with a friend and we played for 2 hours constantly losing, not knowing why the other team was just destroying us in every aspect. After learning not to chase, to spread out and pass more, the game became so much easier and fun. If you play more 'relaxed', everything starts to make sense. We played for another 2 hours and won almost every game we played. Also, in our first game we versed the 10th best player in our region which sucked hahaha. Casual needs to have some sort of balancing.

[@anonymousanonymous9587]

Slight note on 7:03, for lots of fighters the area of influence behind them is useless unless you have a good position since it'd hit the ball towards your own goal. Also, Juno just takes influence zones and says "I am God" if you let her please don't

[@cynicalradicand]

Just adding on top of this. Strikers that have movement abilities which I factor into the zone can effectively influence the core within the range. You'll notice that I made the zone for Kai pretty large because of his speed. Also if you can hit the core toward the corner instead of the goal that would also be fine. If your goalie is competent as well, a soft hit backwards can be a valid play also.

[@RefnRes]

If someone is spinning round smoothly it doesnt mean they're not playing wasd. The games cross platform so it can mean they aren't playing from pc. Mobile and controller controls have the free movement and ability to aim in this game. Personally though I've got it on pc I actually prefer the touch screen controls.

The last tip: "the cringe" - is noy just a TIP bit a RULE. Guys. Remember. We are a small fanbase - how on Earth are we going to increase it if we'll shame new, unexperienced players? Let em try, let em fight, let em have fun and learn. I remember that match few days ago: it was fine, we all played normally, till one opponent disconnected, giving us easy 3>2 win. After score we returned to our positions and with a though "Let's waste em" i was ready to get into the fight-... But something happened. One of my teammates walked into the corner and made that "Juiliet heart" emoji. He became the viewer - he gave us 2 = 2. It was... truly beautiful. At the end we all had fun, changing who is viewer after every goal. I am pretty sure that as well as I - our oponets left the field happy. That's what you call - OmegaStrikers. That's why we hold togethet and stay here - to have *FUN*.

Let me add one that a lot of people seem to forget. If you are not goalie, MOVE OUT OF THE GOAL. It is the goalie's job to defend, and having someone constantly behind the goal means it's a 1v3 on the opponent's side of the field for the other forward

[@cynicalradicand]

Those are kinda good tips i will keep them in mind. Game is kinda fun, but holy lack of surrender option is killing me. Like i main Ai.Mi and was 2nd to pick and 3rd pick was also hovering her cuz it was probably also Ai.Mi main, but i took her fist cuz why wouldn't I, then she just alt+f4, no penality for it (i think?) And i just waste time...

[@cynicalradicand]

Yikes yeah I hate it when those moments happen, though they are usually few and far between. Good news is that they will be adding surrender button in the next update or two because they did mention it in the last patch notes. I usually avoid those situations because I main multiple strikers but if you are picking first then you should get to pick whoever you like. Like what are they going to do if ai.mi got banned? Best just to report the player and move on to the next game I suppose.

[@reaperzinapenas]

I installed the game like 3 days ago at my ps4 and im just climbing some ranks, but not gonna lie to you playing alone is quite the overwhelming feeling. But ill try to aply this tips to my gameplay as best as i can. Btw do you have any tips on Era and Rasmus?

[@cynicalradicand]

Yeah playing alone can be pretty stressful, you could probably find some people to play with if you just hit up the discord or something though. I'll probably be making character specific guides sometime in the future but just off the top of my head: Era is extremely versatile, you can play a purely supportive playstyle with buffs and debhffs or take tons of speed and blitz people as a forward or go for kos with the tornado, though most high rank players won't fall for it. Lots of people don't ever release the tornado early because it struggles to kill that way but it can be very worth letting it go just to apply pressure on the core with the right timing. Rasmus is a bit trickier, the main skill cap is to be able to land the sweet spot on the primary consistently or it hits like a wet noodle. His secondary is extremely good for pressuring the core, you can hit the core normally and then run up to it to hit it with the recast spin. And lastly the hook is also very versatile, it has high knock back multipliers so you can score some random Kos with it, you can save the ball from going into your goal from mid field, use it to disrupt enemies trying to skirmish, and pull the core to you from the otherwise of the field vertically and immediately redirect it into the goal.

Unless your own teammates vote out your main and the enemy votes out your secondary so your left with that measly third😅

[@cynicalradicand]

And that's why I main four characters at any given time, so I can get completely banned out and still have room to counter pick. (And simultaneously suck at all of them)

[@maquirlizarraga6829]

It's hard to main more than 2 i work 6am to 7pm mon-sat so I don't play as much as most people do, i also have other games to play and things to do

@@maquirlizarraga6829 Hot damn that's a long ass work day, curious about what you do? Tbh though, I just have striker ADHD and can't stand playing the same striker too many times in a row and it carries across all games lol.

Hey man I shared this video with some of my friends trying to learn/teach the game and we basically had the same criticisms. If you want your vids to be popular make the intro shorter, insult the viewer less(or be funnier about it), and don't overdo the funny=loud sound effects while trying to be educational - or at least split them up more clearly. This looks like your first vid of this type so it's probably experimental but you did a really good first attempt

[@cynicalradicand]

Thanks for the feed back! I'll take that into consideration. I would like to think the humour stuff is more subjective but I probably do overdo it. And yeah now that you mention it the intro is way too long.

[@erhixon773]

@@avery5920 This is constructive criticism though, it helps the creator know what people think about the project they made and make future changes based on that. If it is well received, thats great, if it isn't, then something is needed to be done

This is basically League of Legends and FIFA combined. Want to hit high elo? Then it’s time to GIT GUD and play meta champs.

[@cynicalradicand]

While some champs are kinda busted, I'm pretty sure skill plays a much larger role. And for the most part everyone is decently balanced. If you look at the top players you can more or less see players who play any of the champs.

[@iamraginghard4486]

its kinda crazy how there is no skill base mm in quickplay/Normal.

I recommend adding everyone you even do somewhat good with. I soloq, and I can tell you for a fact that no matter how hard the enemy is, having uncooperative allies are even worse. Teamwork makes the dre- core go in

[@AkashiroNota]

I've been playing with MOBA controls since launch, never scored a single own goal (Thanks 10+ years of Diablo 2) and feel really comfortable with being able to move freely. Is it really that important to change to WASD? If yes, how should I change my bindings? Fore reference, my current bindings: RMB -> Move LMB -> Strike QWER -> Abilities And thanks for the video, gonna send it to my friends who simply won't pass no matter what lol Edit: I literally managed to do 0 goals+assist in 5 games in a row with WASD as forward aimi. Gonna try with WASD+1234 (Smite Bindings, pretty used to it) but guess I'm just better with MOBA settings.

[@MoonMarshmallow]

i think the game automatically changes the keybinds if you swap over to wasd

[@cynicalradicand]

Own goals are an extreme example of when things go bad but I would still suggest at least giving wasd a try. Like @MoonMarshmallow said, it will change the keybinds automatically if you choose the wasd preset but I personally like having secondary on space (default shift) Give it a go for a day or two but if you think you do much better with MOBA controls, don't let me stop you. My aggressive speech is just a persona I put on for comedy anyway and there is no right or wrong way to play the game.

[@Luuniverse]

Both Moba and wasd have there merits tbh. If you get good with one then it doesn't matter what other people say. Just prove them wrong!

[@jessieansell6168]

@@Luuniverse You can get good with the inferior controls; this does not make the inferior controls any better.

[@AkashiroNota]

@@cynicalradicand I've tried some different bindings and WASD + LMB + RMB + Mouse Side Buttons worked pretty fine (All abilities are on mouse) even though I'm still doing a little worse for now. Do you think is it at least better than MOBA controls?
