Hey! You should subscribe! Anyways, a quick note about this video- I wanted to make a movement video that goes beyond just explaining mechanics. I know a lot of the topics explored in this video aren't specifically movement, but it's your movement that allows you to be proficient at many other things in this game. Also, I didn't mention B hopping or surfing. This is on purpose as I'm not amazing at either, and wouldn't be the best resource to learn from. For surfing, I'd recommend this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXvPZIaheMt4ba8si=f7BzbucjxQDmXxSP. And for B hopping, check out this in-depth video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5rLlKF-p5hgqNU&ab_channel=Vipaza.

[@dr1ppyy334]

Id like to add onto this never rely on bhopping as its incredibly inconsistant with whether you will hit the hops or not its a very luck based thing like no scoping with an awp

[@lurka1337]

when did movement change, doing the crouch on a jump isn't to extend jump, it gives you same height and distance, its to reduce your size and put your legs Infront of your body, makes it harder to hit body shot with awp... ive never heard what you said, only way to increase your distance is to strafe...

[@jovancheong4689]

do you need to counter strafe when jiggle peeking?

[@tristanNC]

[@mosyy6418]

12:35 you don't have to use shift at all to move up/down silently on ladders, you only need to tap w+a/d. It's much easier to do and just as fast as tapping shift

[@WilsonCS2]

Ahhhh thank you!!!!

[@saveCS2]

Came here halfway through the vid to say this, you can tap the two movement keys on a ladder with a BPM of about 360, just a matter of spamming really short inputs at a rhythm

[@Poopio]

yes been doing this for a long time, felt goofy and awkward at first, but feels normal now

[@adamS0M]

I came to comment this too. Wanted to add the reason why it works is because you’ll notice the first half a second when moving on a ladder is silent which is why tapping the keys is like repeatedly starting your ladder movement hence why the whole climb is silent without shift! :) blew my mind when I learned this

[@grqfes]

@@saveCS2nope i actually just do it for a long stretch just enough to not make noise . i need to tap it like ~4 times to get up to heaven on nuke for example

[@falten2]

You are awesome. You break the game down to its core without making it unnecessarily complicated. I've linked this video to my gaming buddies, just like I always do with your videos. Thx a lot Wilson.

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you so much man:) appreciate you

[@IIIDzire]

Good to see another informational video! You’re my favorite CS content creator to watch at the moment and I hope your channel grows and you get the recognition you deserve :)

[@WilsonCS2]

Appreciate that a ton man:) thank you

Youre pumping out very solid guides, even as a level 10 i can sharpen my skills watching your videos

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you bro, that’s sick to hear:)

[@hanstaagen2066]

​@@WilsonCS2 I have to reply to this one. I was hoping for a nade throw guide. But still solid guide non the less. And entertaining

[@lethinhphong]

Purposeful peeks has helped me ranked up from lvl 3 faceit all the way to lvl 6 peak. It's one of those things that is extremely nuanced for me and takes me 3 years of playing to fully grasp. Thank you for the high quality content. It really helps for most newbies/intermediate level players out there :)

[@WilsonCS2]

It’s so big!!! Thank you brother:)

[@NobodyReallly]

19:40 Yeah its velocity that determines when a step is made, i dont know what the threshold is that say "over X velocity a foostep will be made" but in CSGO i had seen videos of people trying to create or creating a script that would auto tap shift just before that threshold, so they can move faster than walking yet slower than running and remain silent. Scummy stuff, i want to say maybe it was in a voo video (lol). Also the weight of the weapon being carried will also affect the result, (effectively is a part of that unknown math calculation: X velocity divided by Y weapon weight or something) so you can have a knife out a higher velocity and not make a noise, when at that same velocity you would make a sound while holding something like an AWP. Thank you for joining my Ted Talk. Also good luck joining top 1% you can do it! i'm only like 11k atm but we out here grinding!

[@WilsonCS2]

I enjoyed the Ted talk thank you:)! Ima try my best! I’m moving this week so the grind has come to a halt unfortunately

[@pronealamo2249]

Another tip that makes silent dropping on ladders easier is that you can be touching a ladder while falling and as long as you aren’t holding a movement key you won’t climb it. Then when you want to stick to it you just press a movement key. If holding shift while doing so you can drop the entire length of the ladder silently and take no fall damage. You don’t take fall damage if you land on a ladder.

[@WilsonCS2]

Gooooood ass tip prone

[@Youwanttodream]

Your videos are very well made ! I'm getting back into CS with CS2's release and really appreciate getting all that info delivered to me in a concise and easy way :)

[@WilsonCS2]

Dude thank you so much!:) super happy to hear you’re getting back into the game.

[@muchim_]

something that has helped me with drilling in the concepts of peeking with A&D and just laying off the W key in general is playing a bunch of DMs with equip melee bound to W. this forces you to move perpendicular to the angle you are swinging and punishes diagonal peeks

[@craigswords]

Great video and channel, one thing about that clipping part of the video is that honestly I figured out that even if your movement around the map is bad, it's still better to be fairly confident especially when you have teammates since hesitation can really fuck up their movement

[@neighbsCS]

Hey Wilson, I really enjoy your videos and I am just now getting back into CS again. As someone who has played for a long time and I have the greys to show it I wanted to share what I learned here. First, I never thought about starting my peek deeper from the pocket of an angle to get momentum going and swinging faster, good detailed explanation of this. The tip about landing on a ladder holding shift is smart and sliding off has always been troublesome for me but you did a great job covering the ladder specifics. I'll be watching more and hopefully can pick up more tips. Also, used code Wilson on the monkey 😉😉

[@ursdubel3585]

I watched like 786 CS2 guides in 2 weeks and this i by far the best, keep going man the algorythm will catch you sooner or later 👍👍👍And THANK YOU

[@WilsonCS2]

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you brother glad your here w me for it:) it’s been hella fun making these and trying to get better at everything.

[@andrewwalton4024]

great vid, short and sweet on each topic, seems like a chill dude

[@WilsonCS2]

Thanks brother:)

[@Rosterized]

Very good tutorial for inexperienced players and honestly for a lot of experienced players too. Pretty much all stuff here should become second nature when you play the game long enough to a point where you dont actively need think about it but theres still people with thousands of hours played that would definitely need to watch this.

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you bro!:)

[@JustHereForTheDialogue]

Idk what you did different if anything but the camera looks much better in this vid. Nice frames, speech lines up with the mouth movement nicely, can see individual hairs n your head etc. big improvement what ever you did.

[@WilsonCS2]

Hell yeah! I messed with the vid settings some and I think there was something wrong with the processing from the last

[@aaronhull4564]

Man this guide is insanely helpful I’ve been playing since 2016 casually and learned so much. Easiest sub of my life.

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you bro:)

[@Rippz-]

Great video Wilson! I learned a couple new tricks so thanks for taking the time to make it! Keep it up your channel will get big in no time!!

[@WilsonCS2]

Happy to hear it bro! Thank you so much, I hope so;)

[@elizzler]

this video was so good, thank you! i love your editing. also the agent/knife/glove combo on t looks great

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!

[@pronealamo2249]

A tip from n0thing I saw quite a while ago suggested counter strafing and bursting to stay mobile and accurate is the move. I like the spray strafe for close range engagements but for longer I think letting go of m1 while moving could be better. CS has infinite situations and ways to play them. Be comfy doin you.

[@WilsonCS2]

Absolutely, can be super situational and v dependent on the player. I remember my buddy who I played w for a couple years would always tap at distance when I would go for sprays, but it worked for both of us

[@walczak9862]

Wilson is the best cs KZbinr. He’s relaxing to listen to and entertaining. Theres so many cs KZbinrs and their videos are sensory overload

[@Hurduri]

I would also add how to jump on small things like mirage bench while staying accurate. Crouch next to it, jump and release crouch immediately and you wont jump too high and stay accurate.

[@ItsQreamy]

Didnt think Id learn anything from this but I did, the peeking at a further distance was goated

[@WilsonCS2]

Hell yeah !:)

[@durkalurkin6849]

Also you can get a very fast peek ( if you are on a ladder) by hitting space. Also if you hold shift right after pressing space it just let's you cover more ground if you are still not seen by enemy and walking somewhere

[@4tee7gaming46]

yoooo never thought you were the rust guy i watch alot not until the end of this vid. great to see your vids again

[@mattwimberly4810]

Great vid man, needed a refresher lesson on movement

[@WilsonCS2]

Thanks Matt:)

[@sk0kiE]

Insanely informative video for new and also experienced players, very well worded. I have subscribed :))

[@WilsonCS2]

Hell yeah! Thank you:)

[@durkalurkin6849]

Great coverage I Kew all this but didn't know I did haha. I would have added in tips to silently get down from spots that usually would make a sound. You have to practice but you crouch and then stand up as you fall and it really helps you reposition without giving your location away.

[@anoannhat806]

dude, i get to Global and faceit lv 8 after 2 months watching u, damn I love ur tricks and guilds so bad, goku to you my man on 15k sub

[@WilsonCS2]

Let’s go bro that’s all you!!!! And thank you:)

[@mojommmm]

for silent ladders, i’ve found that tapping the keys fast instead of holding them will allow you to speed up the ladder without making noise. no shift needed

[@Fyr35555]

Hi Wilson another great video. Similar to how you can peek without shifting and be silent if you time it right, you can go up or down the ladder by sprinting a short distance and pausing to avoid the sound queue. If you watch a pro demo on nuke you will see people do this all the time when going up and down heaven to be fast without a sound queue.

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you man:) it’s crazy I didn’t know that until now.. the shift strat has always been so bad

[@fr34k0o]

I like how neutral and friendly Your presentation is! Keep making content like that, and success will follow :)

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you so much man, I appreciate that:)

[@peterfj6218]

Is it necessary to counter-strafe when you're scoped in with AUG/SSG? The special scoped in crosshair with AUG and SG seems to indicate, that the accuaracy instantly restores instantly when stopping, even without counter-strafing

[@theundeads1]

great video man! Covered everything perfectly

[@WilsonCS2]

Ahhhh glad you think so brother, much appreciated

[@zeke947]

This is a brilliant guide! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you man!:)

[@jcrcreations4515]

It took me way too long to notice this but on your radar/mini map there is a circle that extends around you as you move. That is how far your sound travels. If someone is within the circle, they can hear you

[@WilsonCS2]

Yes! Making a sound video right now actually:)

[@Skycers]

Thanks, Jonh Connor! This is helpful!

[@1e0isfdkorblpg]

11:18 ex pro kz_bhop player, ladders are my favorite. Once you really really learn then you will love them. Nothing feels as good as a ladder strafe into perfect bhops for some crazy advantage

[@Engineer_Eric_59]

Legit the best video about movement I've seen

[@WilsonCS2]

Thank you bro:)

[@hagridsbeardguy1399]

You can silent sprint the ladder just by tapping and releasing W + D or W + A using the technique you showed :D The best cadence is easy to get the hang of once you've practised it a few times.

[@isaacwong5783]

As i recalled to hastened the ladder climb is to tap W+A/D before the sound que, its more like speed climbing without sound. 🤔🤔

One of the things that is the hardest to counter is jiggle spraying. It is super annoying to die to and it really feels unfair if you don't understand what happened

A thing that I was trying to learn more is the distance between the walls + right side peek advantage, I know that you already explored that in previous videos in CSGO, but how it is in CS2?

[@Hurduri]

Thats more how to peek, but yeah it feels like right side peek is stronger than before.

[@janithsrimal9651]

Hmm sounds like they’re not adjusting their aim enough to accommodate for the spraying. They should keep practicing!!

Y’know I just researched getting better because I was tired of getting shit on in casual lobbies, but I had no idea what kind of rabbit hole I just opened. The more you know, the more complex the game becomes. Holy.
