How to Tap Strafe on Controller in Apex Legends (Flick Strafe)

[@Mokeysniper]

Please i know it is tantalising to call it Tap-strafe. But it's just not. Established terminology for this is Flick Strafing. As you pointed out.

[@velker4837]

Love your stuff bro! Thanks for the message. I adjusted the title for future viewers

[@amirescobar1842]

first time I hear about flick strafing

[@XiNightmareZiX]

cry?

[@javianbrown8627]

Thank you. It kinda rubbed me the wrong way that it's labeled as such but I understand the reason behind the video title

Tip: when you turn into your flick strafe, try turning slower. I did the same as you and turning a lil slower gave me a better strafe. Great vid!!

It's a little easier to pull it off with a controller that has paddles. Valk has her own way of accomplishing this with her vtol jets.

[@kbecker3020]

paddles???

[@michaelwalker7696]

@@kbecker3020 Yeah. A scuf controller or the Xbox elite controller. They have either two or four paddles on the back so you can keep your right thumb on the stick.

thank you i neededthis video

[@frzxmn3502]

I did like what timmy did early in this vid. Did it in the range but when i press the second jump it moves to the original direction instead going back to the pad ????

[@th3lio92]

i dont think its possible to do 180 strafes like pc on console. ive been trying every day with pads and even without it and as far as ive tried, max i can is 90 degree strafes. closes i got to a 180 was just strafe with a bit more than a 90 degree one and just continue till i do a full 180 strafe after double jump or wall jump. other than that dont think its possible to do as close as pc.

[@LilLunarWolf]

pc players have a built in mechanic called a lurch and thats not on consoles so its impossible to do a full tap strafe so all we got is our flick strafe

[@Jdud.]

THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL Long ago I wanted to make this move Quick question does it require any specific control settings?

[@ashketchum3441]

People say controller is OP because autoaim. For all of you, try to play Apex on non extra paddles joystick, I can bet you will struggle with just a simple slide jump. Controller takes so much skill, and little tweaks you need to do. You really need to know settings to set it right. And im not even talking about beaming on distance...

[@halomodzhd]

Thx for the video they were all on pc also I had my tablet all max volume and still could barely hear you

[@velker4837]

Will definitely work on that in the next video thanks for the feedback

[@majinshu4089]

try to put ur left stick forward as many time u can while flicking... should look more like tap strafe ^^

[@alexpodolsky3245]

You can tapstrafe on controller you just go into your steam and bind l3 to be a forward input and boom like a normal mnk tapstrafe

[@velker4837]

What about the people that play on console tho

[@mynameisstanliandimasinger9622]

If your playing controller on pc u can tapstrafe like mnk players by setting a macro for w on your stick idk if its bannable but it works

[@velker4837]

I heard about that

[@samtabe4104]

The point was to show console players how to tap strafe, but this was weak its not even new to me this is just a double jump to one side off a jump pad. This is something everyone should of known as soon as double jump was added.

[@_rjql]

@@samtabe4104 good for u

[@notsjo]

This is it, this is the one

[@mako949]

i think i got it how to fully tap Strafe but same as every other honk here to honkish to record it with a Controller cam ^^ haha i got a scuff and as you described at the moment of the 2nd jumper... if you pull the right Stick to the right.. reeally slightly just 2-3mm right and then circling it completely round till the opposite left at the second jumper than u busting to the left :D ( same as running, jump and then speedslide) it really feels like gaining momentum instead of Losing it :o

@@FantasyUFC dang that sucks I've recently learned claw and I've started to be able to do the wall jumps and haven't had the chance to try this movement yet but it did help. I assume you also made sure to stretch the hand and forearm when you tried to play claw? It will make a difference.

I Can Do About A 480°

[@briansrose26]

Turn you back when doing it as horizon I've been doing that forever you barley lose momentum

[@burnswhenipvp1337]

You did lose some momentum. You could have jumped farther. That strafe left you did mid air that turned you towards the targets fell short on distance the way you did it. You could have gotten an extra 10 to 15 feet and landed on the high ground. I'm not a PC player and I'm not talking trash bro I'm just saying. "Tap strafe" in a controller is harder and less effective on about only way it it's really good for us is if we play horizon. Yea you tap staffed but think of it like this. A good player would still melt you, yea you changed direction but. You lost the arc of your jump and made yourself go in a straight line for a short second. Again, I'm not trying to trash you homie. Just sharing my thoughts.😁
