[@ampstamp]

11:55 as someone who mained sniper, it wasn't really the muscle memory pulling my mouse, it always had the instinct that the person was about to move so I would predict shots that wouldn't happen and by the time I realized it, I would try to over correct it, leading to horrible shots like that. On top of that, adrenaline pretty much gave me tourettes whenever I played. This video has actually helped me become a better sniper

[@dumbo21]

Most of my movements in game is just instinct. I see enemies gun I shoot where I think his body might be or I throw a grenade. Enemy is running, line up my crosshairs where I think he mightove and bang headshot

[@notalive5479]

9:06 Interestingly, from what I've read trying to benefit from this is part of why Batman sometimes has a bright yellow symbol on his suit. The symbol directs fire towards the most heavily armored part of his body, therefore stopping his targets from spraying and praying and accidently hitting him in the head, or in the arm or something.

[@asentrybustingmedic6288]

yeah its the same reason punisher put the skull on his chest

[@Sir_GrimReaper]

wow

[@eur0be4t3r]

The Arkham Knight even says so in the Batham (Batman Arkham) game of the same name

[@brenkrasmer]

This reasoning works well with small arms fire. Something that's easy to get ahold of, especially illegally. Which is the scope of Batman's armor. He is not expecting a 50cal on Gotham streets. However, amor that is rated for heavy arms fire is incredibly bulky, to say the least. That would countermand Batman's fighting style. But the bats isn't usually facing snipers or even shotgun slugs. If that were a notable everyday threat? You know that high vis bat logo is going on a wrist.

[@alexanderhood8993]

@@brenkrasmer and that why Batman trend to avoid direct confrontation instead always trying to find a way to both avoid a fight altogether and to find a nonviolent poach to beating his opponents his bat symbol on his chest where he strongest plate of armor is for situation where he have no choice but to be in line of fire where there is potentially hostages so he has it to make sure bad guys gunned for him in the strongest plate of armor location so they don't hurt him and the hostages other than that if he is confronted with man with full auto machine gun and sniper rifle he trend to sneak up on them from the behind. And if he can't use his brain and stealth to his advantage then he'll use his fitness and martial arts training and his gadgets to quickly take out as many bad guys as possible.

16:12 They also brought them back for MK11, every single character in the game has one. Yes, even the likes of Joker, the Terminator and Rambo have Friendships that you can execute at the end of a fight.

[@lexsamreeth8724]

And Joker actually has a fatality where he makes you think it's a Friendship at first...but then he whips out a Thompson submachine gun and reveals it was a Fatality all along. And his Friendship opens up with the implication that it's going to be a Fatality - but then he gets hit in the head with a Batarang, and he grouses at Batman for ruining his fun as he pulls out a cluster of balloons!

You should try watching the behind the scenes and see how much work lazypurple puts in these videos it’s pretty cool.

[@4RT1LL3RY]

One of the big things that makes aim in TF2 different then other games is that a lot of your aim isn't just with the mouse. Especially with scout, learning to get yourself aimed in their general direction and then using your movement to dial in your aim gives great results. The faster the class, the more you end up aiming with movement. With sniper due to the reduced movement speed when zoomed you instead will end up with better results when you avoid going for "reaction shots" aka when you predict where they will be move your mouse and click in the same movement. You will see much more consistent results with an 'ambush' style of aiming, where on opponents unaware of you, determine where they are going place your point of aim along their projected path and then fire. Or you equip the Huntsman. Its hitboxes are why it gets named the "lucksman" kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKeykoh8Zrifa8U

[@robdavideogamer4119]

Notably I've also taken to "tracking" lately. That is, getting my crosshair on them, then moving around them while using my mouse to keep my crosshair in basically the same spot. It's helped wonders on scout when fighting the slow power classes like soldier and heavy, and has helped me on sniper since taken a moment to track their movement instead of trying to flick to their head or quick scope them lets me slow down just enough to land my shots more consistently.

[@DesolateLavender]

Hey, I've been watching for a while now, and I just wanna say something: You're the only good reaction channel I've seen. (And you do other good stuff too, of course.) You consistently give the most insight and random facts you can that are relevant to the content you're watching. (I mean, a lot of your videos are easily 2x the amount of time of the original video. All of that extra time being what I said before.) It's refreshing to see. Keep it up as long as you want to, and I wish you a nice Halloween.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Te Medic with the pink "bunny-fox" hat was actually wearing two different cosmetic hat slot items, both painted pink. The furry fox head hat, and the bunny ears are part of a hat called "Max's Severed Head", an old collab item with the _Sam & Max_ video game franchise about a talking humanoid dog with a hat who solves crimes and a talking homicidal white bunny with pointy teeth (Max) who's Sam's partner. It's limited in number, thus highly coveted, and due to Valve forgetting to assign an item slot to the Max's Head you can actually wear it with other hat slot items or head mdoel replacement items, and it will clip through, thus a lot of people will combine it with other hats for funny effect.

[@SpectreSkirt]

i never noticed that most of his misses from aiming when he didn't need to went to the right! your observation was perfect!

[@MrG0917]

4:30 "Sniper sitting in his chair enjoying, That never happened to me" Ahh man i feel you, everyone's been on that same position like Lazy has said "like im trying to miss every shot" Yeeeeeah that is basically what someone would see from the outside and yeah it looks pretty much like that You'll sharpen your aim eventually dont worry, i've sharpened mine quite a bit and i still suck :p

[@johnnycripplestar5167]

The mouse muscle memory thing is actually an addiction of flick shots that make it harder for you to stay calm or feeling to just flick for no reason cuz it's built in your muscle memory. Happens to me too, weird thing, kinda like you're trying to feel the power of shooting the weapon when it's really just a game and you're holding a mouse and flicking.

[@bongwater1856]

the "WOW!" is from Fairy Tail, one of Happy's best voice lines

Knowing your pet peeve of the Sniper position, this was fun to watch…

[@anarchinzorig2286]

There is also one thing i thought about, 12:00 that part where lazy missed the head shot on scout. I think what also probably happened is that he assumed that scout was going to escape by moving to HIS (scout's) left and flicked to that exact position. But scout didn't moved so he entirely missed.

[@raymondscott6269]

12:53 Those are two pieces of "advice" that a friend of mine told me not too long ago when I started playing Rainbow 6 Siege.

[@bdk336]

Way late to this but this is THE biggest tip I would give anyone for sniping in nearly any game: By default, aim where a target is going to be and let them move into your crosshair. This doesn't just help you relax, it's simply the most reliable tactic for getting hits. If you need to make small adjustments to your aim using character movement is generally the most controllable way to do so. As you improve at the technique you start being able to do it faster and faster to the point you can do it within a second of spotting someone. Two other little tips: Play around with your aim sensitivity settings, you often want to decrease the sensitivity a little. Also don't aim for heads. Aim for the neck where shots that don't count on the head will likely still hit the body.

[@MeestahreL]

0:50 It's like, a reflex. The brain doesn't stop working immediately by the way, there would be a minute or so left for it to perform such a simple action.

The "WOW" sound is an anime sound effect. It debuted in _Parodius! From Myth to Laughter_ in 1990. It can be found as one of the sound effects on Track 36 of the original Japanese soundtrack of the arcade version, _Parodius! From Myth to Laughter_ (KICA-7904).

10:35 That's just a product of that particular mouse model from cs_office in Counter-Strike: Source. I mean why download a custom model pack for Source Film Maker when you have perfectly good computer models in a 2004 Valve title? The shudder when I fire was also an issue about it but as it turns out, when the game makes it *release* to fire, suddenly I become a machine. As a personal anecdote, my Dad, brother and I played a LAN game of Jedi Outcast and I was so good with the DXR-6 Disruptor that not even them teaming up could stop me, though that was probably due to a combination of factors, the map was wide open and I had a massive sightline in the elevated corners of the arena-shaped map, they didn't bother to duck and weave, and the Disruptor is more than capable of killing an unshielded player on a fully-charged bodyshot. Really, if they bothered to use Force Speed or even Protection, I'd probably get mowed down.
