This has to be one of the best val coaching videos I've ever seen. I've always had the problem of subconsciously flicking a bit everytime I held an angle and I never could figure out why. Saw the video, hopped into a game and I saw instant change in my gunfights. Amazing work ♥️

Thanks Mr. Banana man! I've been making the same mistake when it comes to holding angles, and I'll work on changing that!

[@Tallywhackz]

This is a habit I’ve pointed out to any and all friends I play with. People don’t realize how long it takes to react. Like by time the server sends the info to you and you can actually comprehend and react… it’s not as close as how soon you’ll see them. It’s not the same. Give yourself the time to react. I love that you made a video about it 🤣👏

[@godzillaxred]

I remember Launders posting a video about Swag's crosshair placement and how he doesn't hold angles too tight, absolutely changed my life back then and still applies today in val.

[@hockneyfps19]

I was away from the grind and hooj videos for a few months. It was a pleasant surprise for my first one back to have a meme explosion

[@PicassosCat]

I've been trying holding angles like this video, and I've gotten significantly more kills from preaiming I think it's mostly because it gives enough time for me to react. Though most of my duels are one sided in terms I like to use off angles so that could be another factor since I remember the banana mentioned you need to hold wider for off angles

[@ubesaaa]

Scream's mouse movement is so incredibly straight. Man is like: _/--\| I hope I get there some day.

[@johnbrown-zr1zq]

I started to hold angles like you mentioned in the video and I have noticed my HS% is the best its been since I started playing this game.

[@leoshen4157]

Also, the relative velocities are different. In scenario 3 you have to catch up to them while in scenario 2 you have to meet them. This means that in order to hit them in the same time, you have to move much faster in scenario 3. Furthermore, if they are peeking close they will probably be stopped/slower which is always an easier target to hit.

[@zephyreus_]

Early potassium hits different! Thank you for your hard work Mr Hooj!

[@rainfloppo]

if any of you guys have this problem, i recommend fishychairs crosshair placement video. Its very informative

[@timothyahn2006]

I have a question, holding wide helps wide swings and holding close helps tight peeks/jiggle peaks, but if you're not sure holding in the middles good, but what about for players with slower reaction times? I have decent reaction times but sometimes I'd hold a slightly wider angle and get one tapped in a tight swing.

@@gurmeharsingh5228 well, 70% of the times in immo lobby you're dead, not only because you missed, but it's most likely enemy already adjusted to you, because of peekers advantage and ping diff, I play on 60 ping against mostly low ping player, I do not have advantages of low or high ping, so if you dont hit your first shot, you're doomed.

Not making me watch the beginning again is goat editor behavior

[@sagetarus1]

This was intuitive to me when I started the game. When I was new, I was like "they must be really good and have great reaction time to be holding so tight", but no. I hold wider to accommodate reaction time and full swing. Usually with angle advantage, there is more than enough time to react to a slow peek and flick for the kill too

[@itjace2682]

[@Bruh-mo7cy]

thanks bananaman for teaching me about the perfect width (for valorant angles of course)

[@leotle6309]

At lower elo, it is better to hold position 2 (yellow) because they don't jiggle peak you and slow peak you. Shift walk so it is best to hold as close as possible to the wall.

[@Virsonics]

I argued with my friend last week about that, I said too him dude your reaction can't be that fast if they don't peek holding shift, no one peek holding shift, you have to get your aim more wide

[@9y2gt8wc07wxpfcs]

I’m in diamond/ascendant elo, and I try to hold wide. I realized that holding wide is better a while ago, but it never really stuck in my gameplay. There are times where I do actually hold wide but more often than not I’ve been one-tapped by enemies who barely swing out and they don’t even reach my crosshair.

[@KuroShiroo]

So I kinda been a while into fps game, the scenario is to close to wall while enemy peek is mostly happen when they know you are there and they re peek you, in most scenario yes they are wide swinging especially if in the end of the swing they did is happen to be have another wall because most of people know how we not gonna able to track as fast as they wide swing and they gonna safe behind the next wall. Yeah being on the 'not to tight and not to wide' is neutral position so either they coming wide swinging or not the micro adjustment you do not going to be wild and most likely gonna miss

Does this apply to ranks where people knows not to shiftwalk on angles? But still not swing that wide?

Don't change your gunfights depending on rank because your going to build bad habits so even if changing that helps you rank up, your gunfights will be suboptimal on the next rank. Expect your opponent will do the correct thing and train for that.
