The best cypher player you've never heard of

[@chiwavlr]

wow! cool video and I'm so happy that some people will recognize me at least. Was destroying people on cypher and kj from the start of the pro scene but i felt all this time that I'm under shadow of guys who has just better socials than me 😛 Thank you Wohoojin 💗

as a cypher main, i can tell you that if you run out of set ups, you can make up ones fairly quickly based off of common routes that the enemy pushes. the beauty i found with cypher is being able to give your enemies ptsd or a false sense of security to give yourself or your team an advantage. they will have to take time to check or subconsciously be cautious of your trips. regardless of the agent, this game is about adapting and reacting. meaning if your set up or your play style doesnt work against a certain team, quickly analyze your own playstyle, adapt, and change it to best counter the enemy. playing as cypher, for me, is the best example for that cause one set up isnt going to work every time. you have to change and adapt.

Head height trips are still good against Skye dog because you the dog can't jump into the trip, also at 14:49 he throws the shit trip because it doesn't get broken by the shock used to break the god trip

[@havoc8600]

Hooj has a cypher cam in my brain, I had a random game where I played cypher, enjoyed it, and today he has a recent analysis

[@srr4460]

regarding the question of "what do you do as a cypher main when they push your setups every single round" the thing i am currently trying to focus on as a low elo cypher main (peak silver 3 getting gold and plat players in many of my games) is to find setups where either 1) i can play off the same setup from multiple starting positions (so they don't always know where i am) 2) try to get teammates to play off my setups with me (so we are playing the same setup off of multiple positions at the same time, like maybe 1 close to the set up with a shotgun and 1 long with a rifle, which you can easily adapt to shorty and sheriff in an eco rd). i will say i have probably never thought of pushing my util before to get a kill then back off to bait the enemy team into my setup so that will be fun to try out. my other main agent is killjoy so it seems like i can probably try that with her as well.

I'm glad that as a new player and as someone who likes learning by making shit up and making mistakes (I know I know it takes longer but it's fun!) I'm seeing a good couple of things I've been doing, with similar reasons. A small but proud W moment.

[@shooky1803]

Got into val recently and mained cypher immediately because he looked cool, recently realized I am pretty agro and that maybe I would be more suited to main a duelist because of that but I really like cypher so I was hesitant, this vid really tickled my pickle as a not so passive cypher, long live aggressive cypher🙏🙏

[@nogvg6870]

Hi peak asc 1 current plat 1 I've thrown that 1 way cage since breeze came out originally but never seen anyone else use it glad to know i'm not the only one

Oh this is EXACTLY what i needed

[@DiCapraLeo]

The low cypher trip at 7.00 you can silent jump over it. Ctr+jump then let go of jump. I do that a lot. It’s rare to need that but you can cheese all low placed trips if u lurk.

[@soupser7188]

[@MuzMysyq]

it is actually pretty cool to see this game, considering he hasn't played for a few days in this vod lol. also sova's russian voice ult is so dramatic.

[@tofubofu]

hey hooj! i love your videos :D would love if in the playbooks channel you linked to your video where you make the playbook along with the og vod. the titles of these videos make it pretty tough to find the video to follow along and really understand the playbooks.

[@Draaxxxx]

i wish there was someone like hooj for rl

[@SimpleBonsai]

15:50 just want to point out that he activated the cage before throwing it

[@s3vity546]

i remember u coaching a viper player that was scared to flank and always went through mid, this guy is automatically flanking on round 2 xD

[@jb8641]

I think Cypher mains/cypher secondaries can Kobe their cages like he did at 15:50 bc of the time we've spent playing him. I'm not saying it would be as precise, but I'm sure it'll at least be within close range of the other, wherever you stand.

[@nictak562]

"scaredy-cat cypher players" hurt more the second time I heard it in the video....lol

hi hooj I just want to tell you that after watching your video where you coached lilypichu and said something about aiming at the forehead for clicking heads (assuming I sometimes float a bit down and instead hit the neck bodyshot), I took that advice just now in a ranked game and I dropped a 30 so I really appreciate your remarks

[@kitty3695]

can someone explain how the enemy broke the trip at 5:07 wasnt it supposed to be like the unbreakable thing, nobody got revealed and they stll broke it? it might be dumb but idk how to do that

[@bubblecqt5796]

Either sova dart or a very lucky wallbang

[@twyste]

23:40 FNS reccomends the elbow cam as the default over the mid cam in his breeze guide, which operates on the assumption the enemy is playing jett, kayo, viper, sova, and cypher. His argument is who/if you spot someone walking elbow, you can usually tell if B is string side, whereas the mid cam you only see nest and door, which doesnt indicate wich side might be stronger. he explains it better than me starting at 5:38 in his guide (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJaZpmeVicSAgqs)

[@mantycorrin246]

Tbh I’ve been told I play cypher like a duelist but I never thought of mixing both aggressive and slow play. Cypher mains are eating good tonight!

[@TheScottishSandman]

Another day, another informative video by Hooj

[@Kuzureta_]

Hi Hooj, I’m a Bronze 2 player and have recently got the courage to play ranked again while watching boomer to diamond. On one episode, you mention how jpc should scale close to the angle before peeking again, but I got a question. How do I know when I need to transition from shift walking to getting close to an angle to a/d peek? On your Haven A long example , is it ever good to hug the right wall to scale or should you scale close to the left wall until you can peek site? Love the content

[@TheGamer-yh4lw]

he only answers questions in his twitch chat

[@ortuhs]

it’s all based on distance to angle, you vs your opponent. say when you’re walking up mid on split, it’s good to shift peek and slowly break down the vents angle as you’ll always see them first due to the distance. however if you’re equal distance to the angle, or you’re closer to a wall, you want to a d peek without shift

[@PracticalPotato]

Hooj would say "bro you're bronze 2, work on your aim and gunfight hygiene and come back when you're plat". But one big reason you'd want to shift-peek is when you have angle advantage (you are further from the corner than a possible opponent), and you'd generally want to get close to peek fast when you won't or can't be further away from the corner than a possible opponent. For Haven A long specifically, let's make some assumptions to simplify. Let's say you're past A lobby and you're worried about someone tucked close behind the box on the right, someone on the left peeking, and someone on site. It can make sense to walk up the right side while holding the left corner (you're tucking from the guy playing on the right and you have angle advantage on the guy playing left in case they peek). Then you can switch to the left side while clearing the right (get angle advantage on the guy hiding close behind the box). Then you're in position close to the wall to peek site. You'll commonly see teams have one person get wide on the right side to hold the left corner while the rest of the team scales up the left.

[@ianjohnson8419]

It depends on how far away the potential enemy is beyond the corner compared to your distance to it. When you are far, you probably have angle advantage in relation to off angle positions, so shift walk and track. As you get closer to the corner, angle advantage shifts to the enemy, so start a/d peeking.

Low trips counter Fade dog bc the dog can hover over it. Mid/head height trips counter Skye dog bc the dog touches the ground and will go under it. If you want a skye dog to hit a trip place it low. If you want a fade dog to hit a trip, place it mid height. I don’t even play cypher and I know this.

I am exactly the diamond 1-2 girl hooj talks roasts here lol. I like the chiwawaas setups I actually did use some of those like the double trap tech and stuff but I never was this aggressive. Plus I used the util first and then take aggresive fights he does the opposite and it makes much more sense.

[@davoman9118]
