Stop Losing Gunfights, Start Using The SVS Advantage!

[@theguide_val]

We just published a brand new course on how to win your gunfights feat. pro player and 18x radiant thwifo: bit.ly/thwifo-course-yt Make sure to check it out here and start improving today!

[@sadiqabbaszade4789]

Imagine you both keep strafing and don't stop, going till the end of the map while looking at the other player, waiting for him to stop first lol

[@jeshelmer4166]

i was just thinking abt dat LOL

[@vansh7493]

😂😂

[@karl6149]

Doesn't work in deathmatch but in ranked it definitely works. Suddenly feels like the enemy team never trained their aim before

[@theguide_val]

xD

[@Rifeor405]

++, so useful video, I like it

[@chase5298]

deathmatch lmao get real

[@tacojoe4015]

Works in dm just to many players on the map.

[@kebeiiii]

You can practice it in DM, just not as useful as in game

[@justsmitty1010]

Just started playing and im in awe of how you completely described my number one problem, showed me what I was doing wrong and showed me how to fix it. The algorithm can read minds I swear it

[@EmiWi]

This literally explains the parts I was struggling with and confused about in gunfights. Like, there would be situations where I genuinely don't know where I went wrong or could've improved. But your example gunfights looked similar to the ones I was dealing with and I understand now what to change. First video to actually help.

[@fisckiigg]

Coming from CS:GO movements, no wonder I always think my movements somehow become bad for initiative peeks when it comes to duels. This video has made me understood of the in-depth movement of Valorant. Thank you for this guide!

[@theguide_val]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@aMnezia]

Its made deliberately so it favors the slower reaction time players for a balanced, newbie friendly experience. Thats why when you are peeking and shoot, hide back , let enemy shoot and miss bullets and then re-peek you 99% win the gun fight unless the match score is like 4-0, 7-1 or 9-2 or some shit. LMAO a great example is 3:37 on this video, I didnt even watch until here before commenting

[@thelionzmusic]

This is exactly what n0thing explained on stream once… you have to force the enemy to commit to the gunfight, you can then just tap them.

[@pouya8766]

So the general Idea of Strafing is 1) peek-wait-peek 2) strafe if your crosshair isn't aligned 3) stop if your enemy stop first 4) varies your movement so it cannot be predicted

[@taey1327]

good stuff

[@theguide_val]

yup, summed up well!

[@FonKard]

Still dont understand how to use it at all. Like, at higher ranks even if guys stoping first and you keep strafing, they have first shot advantage, so they just stops you with there first bullet or killing you in head

[@pouya8766]

@@FonKard I think this is more like a guildline if you want to know how to use it properly I guess is don't be predictable?

[@theguide_val]

​@@FonKard With time to will develop a feeling. Often you just go "oh shit, I got peeked and my crosshair is not ready" so you keep strafing and the enemy misses you for that reason (there's a lot of examples of that in the video and these are on immo-radiant elo). Shooting the first bullet doesn't always mean you're winning the fight.

[@ELOCLOWN444]

Even though I'm immo 3 I learned quite a lot from this video. This was the first guide video since a long time that actually felt useful

[@theguide_val]

Thank you, means a lot! :)

[@BroodVI]

Your videos are a hit for me, solved exactly what I've been struggling with

[@theguide_val]

That's what we like to hear! :D

[@nativenugget]

no heart..

[@Mrmantiss]

Are u a bot?

[@Echter-Berliner420]

same... it explains a lot of my death´s

[@imtopper2640]

What's ur rank bro ? 😅

[@fugieieieowo3455]

You guys will blow up soon - it’s starting to hit on the algorithm. I find your videos to be educational, accessible, and easy to understand. You heard it here first

[@theguide_val]

Thanks dude! Yeah, channel is getting some traction now, nice to see :D

[@skyfeelan]

4:06 I really like how you take time to replicate the scenario in custom match in the absence of replay system

[@chopperskier]

Best valorant video I have seen yet! All the others just say "Play deathmatch and practice a ton." This is actual concrete advice- thanks!

[@manfromthefuture4436]

wanna be good play ton and play dm to practice map angles and learn from ur mistake no one on these vedios will help u u need to help ur self and at the end of the day you play vs 10+ hour player per day sweater no life ppl you wont do nun with 30 min and range good bye

[@codexl0l.]

Quick reccomendation, when peaking angles, dont get tense and overthink. You might end up deathgripping your mouse and giving yourself inconsistent aim. Another tip, reset your aim after every angle you swing

[@theguide_val]

Good advice!

[@aevirann]

this actually places a very interesting perspective on gun fights within valorant, very interesting and makes a lot of sense. great video!

[@oDiablo]

This video is insane this is exactly what is my issue I find out that I am winning nearly always when I peek certain angles knowing that 80% of the time I am getting a fight like A showers on bind

[@theguide_val]

Yeah, it's interesting how for some angles you have a really good feeling and for others not at all. Sometimes it just has to do with them being good/bad angles but sometimes it also applies to angles that I see pros play all the time (and I can't get a kill at all)

[@rinauh]

i havent played valorant properly for many episodes, so im glad that this video popped up for me again ! all these tips are so helpful especially the svs dynamic, i realised i get killed to many players doing that and i usually lose. thank you so much for this video very helpful :)

[@xerathion]

this is so underrated, explains advanced concepts clearly and concisely. you deserve so much more bro gl on the yt journey

[@theguide_val]

Thank you bro!

[@PokeCourier]

the SVS technique was very very helpful. I feel like it was one of the main thing that I was unknowingly struggling with. It felt like I was always at a disadvantage when I was taking gunfights but I didn't know why. This was the reason and after consciously incorporating it into my gameplay I can definitely feel a difference,

[@theguide_val]

Amazing to hear!

[@poggeroski]

I watched this video and went on a 7 game win streak that brought me into immortal. I’m telling you right now this shit works

[@MsDhemys]

In portuguese we call this breaking counter strafe left-right: Duas balas (meaning: two bullets) We in the most understand this concept but your video brought me more information that I didn't think about yet, SVS makes a lot of sense but it is more feeling when to use each one during the gun fight. I have to practice

[@GinvyX]

im finaly at a place where im wiling to improve and this video feels like the one i have been searching for in like forever

[@martin-rs2gf]

this is literally the only educational valorant video ive seen thats not complete bs

[@uncle1920]

You deserve WAY more subs bro, the quality of content and the easy to follow instructions are incredibly good. wish you good luck.

[@theguide_val]

Thank you bro! :)

[@medekhgui]

Never heard the svs concept before. Well explained. This also explains why i do so much better when i play confidently, than carefully. I'd been doing the svs tactic to others, but now i see why sometimes i feel like im getting rekt at every corner.

[@ThenixYT]

Bro wtf, I've watched so many vids and tutorials and never have I ever seen this SvS tip.... IT HELPED SO MUCH!!!!!!!

[@RobinOsiria]

This is a great concept that integrates well after you learn the Woohjin warmups. It makes sense to use your movement to align your crosshair because it makes it harder for the enemy to hit you. Great video!

[@cadicaq]

Helped me went from hardstuck gold to diamond, def the only video that doesnt ramble abt the same stuff like other guides

[@theguide_val]

Appreciate it!

[@ikooooooo4086]

this is all ive been looking for!!!! all those other KZbinrs recommend aim training when its not your aim but your movement and lack of ingame mechanics knowledge.

[@azanadlan1086]

Your enemy watch the same video🗿

[@GyariSan1]

I've always wondered why I always get killed first in 1v1 FPS gun fights despite shooting first and finally after all these years I know the answer. Thank you :)

[@lopcop5428]

SVS is the thing I’m missing wow, thank you so much bro, nah this is actually the thing that’s been holding me back so damn much I’m always quick on shooting straight away…

[@lowqualitychess5996]

excellent video, i've been working on my movement ever since hitting diamond but now at ascendant i feel like i'm losing way too many duels, i need to work more on it, this video was a great reminder! off to dm...

[@theguide_val]

Keep going, good progress already!

[@chuman999]

Just started playing valorant this week. I knew smthin was off with my movement and aim ! Thanks for this video , rlly helped a lot❤

[@IcOnfrvr]

Really loved the svs concept. I will try in my gameplay now

[@karma3_075]

omg how can a single tip like this make me get double my kills sht ive been looking for this video just to come here to show some support you deffo got my like

[@Ghozyt666]

thanks my guy, ive been experiencing horror from enemy on valorant. I'll start to learning your svs and strafing soon !!

[@dw300]

This is gold. I'm often first to shoot, and first to die, and yet always thought I was doing the right thing trying to be fast.

[@bxn-l8g]

Now you have reached me how to play a better duelist thank u so much

[@OctaValiente]

1. Apuntar cada angulo como si estuvieses seguro de que hay un rival detrás 2. Tomarse su tiempo luego de limpiar cada angulo 3. SVS: Straffear mas tiempo que tu oponente para que asi este dispare y pierda el duelo 4. Alternar tus movimientos entre tiro y tiro

[@TH3N00BK1N9]

Just when I start slacking off from the vast majority of my wonderful tactics and fall back again into bad habits, your videos are always recommended to me 😅

[@Minesky_]

Thank you for making a high-quality video. Even though I am not good at English, I think I am learning a lot thanks to the high level of completion

[@shadowmekar]

The GUIDE, I want you to know I support and love your content brother. You always post great and valuable tips. I often recommend every friend your channel because you put the best fundamental concepts on KZbin. I have recently been struggling with this problem and you have posted this video. I am grateful and thankful. Be strong you’ll become big in no time! Edit: I watched the whole video, you literally read my mind and covered every thing I struggle with rn I peaked diamond but I fell off to plat 2 because i forgot some fundamentals luckily I still have you to always rely on. Much love brother stay safe ❤❤❤❤

[@theguide_val]

Thank you so much for your support and those nice words my man! :) And don't worry, we're not going anywhere!

[@shirou7425]

Legit thought this was a big YT channel with 500k subs or something. Thanks for the tips. Keep going dude, best of luck!

[@haiku029]

best guide vid and something that helped me where i was struggling with and thats being ready, i sometimes just autopilot swing and i die, im def gonna keep in mind if im doing anything at all now, i feel like thats such a large factor for being a high ranked, always being ready to do everything with full focus, because im a gold 3 that has been terrorizing plats now (stuck at gold 3 cause im on plat mmr) and the difference i noticed was golds are way less ready than plats, and the more higher you get on ranks the more you notice how calm they are

[@theguide_val]

Yeah, Valorant is a game with so many things to process. It's one of the most important skills to be able to focus on what's important and being mentally prepared whenever you get into a fighting situation

[@VivianWabbit]

For the first tip play the defuse or plane scenario on hard until you can consistently win it. It teaches you check every single angle

[@zedmania1993]

bro this guide is a rare gem

[@matin6916]

Thanks bro i switched from phantom to vandal and applied this movement and boom I'm owning them almost every match.

[@SDesuu]

i think its the first for the long time guide ill see which talking about really good things to improve, nice

[@theguide_val]

That's what we're trying to do, glad you enjoy the content!

[@asymmetricfuzion970]

[@shkooni]

yo great tips man! i will be using these in my next valorant ranked matches!

[@No_M_Pa_T]

You change my gameplay completely. Thank you!

[@shibinam4387]

So useful video 😊 exactly solved my issue. I am diamond 1. My aim is good but am having too much focus and stress to get headshots. the problem i thought was my crosshair placement. But the actual issue was my movement then I came across this video two days before Now when I see the enemy I dont stop my movement I try to align the crosshair to the head and when the enemy stops I do tap tap to head. I tested in deathmatches and got first place in 5 matches consecutively and in the next 3 ranked. I am the mvp suddenly it feels like enemy team doesn’t know how to shoot 😄 it workss Thanks a lot boss you are the best

[@Menevolence]

wow this has to be the best video on valorant ever . perfect explanation thank you

[@piwi2k]

I figured the so called SVS Dynamic out myself before I watches this video

[@honor_over_glory7530]

im so glad i found this because this actually helped a lot. im not just stopping and relying on my flicks as much so i've been more consistent at winning my duels! ty for this video, i've subbed :)

This genuinely looks like it will work. Will give it a go!

[@hugo7124]

this video actually helps and makes sense a lot. ill practice to do this as a habit

[@delemordkurosaki2678]

I love this video. I have been playing for a while and i have never done any if this. Yesterday when i try this videos tips i went against a jett that obviously was way better than me and had been plsying this game longer and new how to counter straf. I went toe to toe a little bit. Soooo many times the bullets kissing my ear but once headshot she couldn't recovered. I was having rounds where i killed 4. We still lost 11 to 13 but damn my gunplay improved by a ton. Now it is all practice😊

[@siegwardofcatarina9763]
