I was hoping you were going to cover the strafes that Asian players do where they jump and then slide.

hey is there nay tips if your playing revenant with the strafe because of his passive

[@uyogi2373]

Great video Dazs, as always. I crouch spam a lot in fights, it got so bad that I used to do it when nobody was aiming at me lol. It’s ingrained in my muscle memory so it’s kinda hard to break the habit, but I’ve seen that I win a lot more 1v1s when I just strafe left to right

[@danny7694]

tbh for me the only way to break a habit is to sit in firing range and fix it for a couple of hours. I had the same thing with low wall bounces, I always pressed directional keys too early causing me to strafe away from the wall. After a couple days i had it fixed though.

[@mykellederickpalad7883]

Same I even strafe when hitting someone from the back and far away which throws my aim off

[@yaoipurpleheart]

God same. My crouch spam muscle memory is literally what ruins majority of my game 😔

[@Jimmy.3]

Lmao I literally am doing just that

[@namewithheld7835]

Thank you.. it helps to refresh old players and novice too. I can see why strafing left and right is more important than one direction duck and jumping

[@phase1NE]

Throwing in a jump instead of a crouch sometimes is also really good to throw people off. It's a bit harder, but it's something that a lot of APAC players do, like Ras, but not something you see too much in NA. I started adding it into my strafe about a season ago and it's made me that much harder to track in close 1v1s and bubble fights because people aren't expecting it.

[@shijou2867]

when i found out about the ras movement, i realised ive already been doing it. seems kinda natural to me for a long time to do it

[@leonbraukmann9076]

@@shijou2867 Usually a good way to dodge while reloading. Circle strafe OP

[@definitelyadarkangel9225]

A caveat I've noticed on the other end of this. once you jump you're locked into it with a couple of exceptions. So when I catch someone jumping it usually means a one clip early game. Once you're rocking purple shields there's more room.

[@billysutton3897]

Actually a very helpful and informal video I've recently just reached gold rank after only playing for a year on off here an there in my spare time (AVG 3hrs ) per day one thing that's help me in 1v1 is a diagonal backwards jump slide then bridge around either side and start strafe certain characters seem to have faster reactions than others so taking time to study characters movements and speed etc always helps but yeah enough of me thanks for a great vid have a good year 🙏🏻

[@Aljaazy]

Finally someone who talks about strafing

My new years resolution is to get better at this game this year. These videos are helping a lot.

Strafing is usefull now I know how to strafe thanks to Dazs so good thing that he is a youtuber he is my favorite to

[@RXGD]

Simple. Short. Sweet. Thank you!

[@mattymoyouknow202]

Great guide! how do the sweaty wraiths strafe side to side at turbo speed? they look like they are in fast forward

[@Bk2Borja]

most of us wraiths do long strafes and some wraiths do short fast strafes

[@Dazs]

It really is because they are right in your face. When you try and flick and track the strafe it appears faster than what it is. If you keep calm and move less the strafe will become more readable. But in those situations the adrenaline really does kick in. They are no faster than what you are seeing on screen in this guide.

[@Oxdazdndconfuzd8O]

Liked immediately for the bgm. now moving on to studying what it's actually about

[@aa301875]

Hi Dazs, I have a question about strafing. Do I have to keep mirroring enemy’s strafe way (A or D) to have better aim ? If so, do I have to anti-mirror strafing when opponents can easy shoot on me and make him miss the shot ?

[@SKIBIDIv1n]

Literally thought about this a second ago and now i see this video, perfect Dazs, thank you :D

[@ragnarpapadopoulos7798]

You dont need to crouch that much better use a left right patern and when enemy start tracking you change it....when you crouch you are slower and enemy is hitting headshots on you cause they mostly target your body....

[@TY-fy4of]

This was a great video and i appreciate the points you made. However i would add that actually doing a shorter crouch strafe especially in closer engagements is bettee than the crouch movement shows here bt sarah. The movement when crouching is slower and the chance of the enemy accodently hitting a headshot is actually higher because they will be most likely hitting your body before you crouch and then luckily get a headshot as you crouch. So doing a quicker side to side crouch rotation would be harder to track and most likely panic the enemy more

[@tamatar4421]

@Dazs i have 2 queries.. first is obviously headshots are important but in close range should i focus more on headshots or body shots in general and second one should i do long or short strafes in close range

[@Baxx0_o]

Focus on the chest, the headshot is an added bonus In close fights stage left and right but do not be repetitive or predictable

[@uchihathesavage2422]

Hey what's your crouch?for some reason I can't shoot and crouch sorry I'm new to pc

[@simpleplan32230]

Does strafing still matter as much when playing on console and taking into account aim assist?

[@Haythem93465]

In my experience yes when facing average players. Most good players will decimate you even if you're strafing hard

[@badv6563]

ok then how do i jumps slide cuz i putbit on hold right and my slide is on right stick i push down and wen i lift my thumb off stick to hit a to jump it just jumps no jump alide

Should I strafe/move with the enemy or it's better to strafe randomly?

when I strafe my character is slow as a snail

[@CODYeahBuddy]

I’m having trouble with the concept you’re talking about at 4:00 to 4:12. The pro is that it improves the recoil?

[@zeke245]

Not that the recoil is improved but that the pattern is different.

The only reason people strafe no matter what is aim smoothing, it may have been helpful to add that in because its very unintuitive.

[@kyle2841]

how viable is jump strafing instead of crouch strafe?

[@slz_dawn3655]

in nearly every fps game, jump strafing actually makes you easier to hit compared to AD-AD spamming or crouch strafing. Unless you’re doing some advanced circular jump strafing with tap strafes (something not seen much below masters) you are moving in a predictable arc which is very easy to track for most players (even more for those with aim assist).

If you need to crouch spam to getyour gun to aim in a smaller recoil patten, exploit and lack of skill. Plain and simple

[@WaspTech]

Well seems like this video has gone to waste since the new tap strafe "nerf". now its just a normal battle royale, i might as well play super people.

[@Dazs]

You can still do hard 90 degree turns and sometimes still pull off a further tap strafe. Just cannot do 180 turns. But the movement is still there.
