    3. Dont tense up
    4. Watch the bot NOT the crosshair
    5. Microcorrect to stay on target

    For those who want to know how effective and universal smoothness is, i can tell you that before smoothness training i was like a bronze/silver in average score. Now I’m so more consistent in aim training and in game I’m so more relaxed, one thing that used to get me killed a lot before was my reflexes to tense when entering a gun fight suddenly my aim started to be shaky and i lost plenty of gunfight that i should have win. But aim training really gives you the confidence and smoothness in particular is probably the most helpful imo.

    I play KBM on PS4 and have been for the past 13+ months to get good aim before I get my PC, COD is the only thing I play but since I'm on console I can't use Aim Labs or Kovaaks so I have an aim training routine with a few maps on Fortnite creative and custom games on cod to practice tracking and flicks/Target transitions; over the past year I've progressed way more than I thought possible on console, but I always have room to improve so I'm constantly taking inspiration from the top tier aimers in the aim community to always motivate me and watching vids for advice, man just the first 10 minutes of this video alone have been more helpful than any vid I've ever seen or advice I've ever heard in over a year of being on KBM.

    So I opened this video two days ago. Just skimmed as I couldn’t hear much at work. At first I coupled this with the other aimlab/aim vids I’ve been looking at. Didn’t even make it past 5.5mins. Anyway, you’ve helped me tremendously with just two things in that 5 minutes. You spoke about weight/traction and it made me really think about and look at what I’ve got going on because I couldn’t track at all. It was always just skips. I literally had my palm planted on the mousepad. I’m very new to pc gaming. Anyway. I fixed that thanks to you. Thank god because I couldn’t understand what was so WRONG. Secondly, you said just assume the tracker is going to continue in the same direction for forever.
    With just those two things not only can I effectively train but I’m a completely different, capable fps player. I’m not exaggerating either. My performance is night and day thanks to you. I had to come back and dig this video out of my history to thank you, like and subscribe. For whatever reason those two things (which at the time I didn’t know was an issue) you said kept ringing in my head. Mastering the neutral position in just 48 hours was absolute key for me to be able to build on. Thanks tons man.

    So I have been noticing my smoothness getting worse. In trying to improve my tracking I have begun to develop bad habits. Why? I was training wrong. In 23:55 you have saved me the years it would have taken me to figure this out on my own! This is nuts! DUDE! Tracking is at least 1/3 of my training. One sec I have to bang my head on the desk. Of that 1/3, 100% involves left clicking of some sort!!! Jeez!! There were times where I was smooth as butter. In those moments I would notice how relaxed my movements were. And now that I'm thinking about it, that only happens when I do switch tracking. The only tracking drill I do that requires no clicking. Why would things feel so smooth one minute? And not the next? I couldn't reproduce it when I wanted to. Oh because in a thirty minute training I was training smoothness for one minute and then trying to apply for the rest of my training. You do not understand. I was asking myself things like, maybe it's caffeine, sleep? Um no. I'm not getting any smoother because I'm not f-ing training for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I Bang bang bang goes my head. This changes everything for me.Doah!

    amazing video, was wondering if you could make a video explaining the science behind aiming, stuff about the calculations of trying to transfer sens from one game to another. going in depth on that about fov and what not, also stuff about the muscles in your arm that are used for aiming and how you can effectively train a specific part of your arm. and the phycological aspect of when your presented with a certain shot in a game or how to make your aim training more affective. or showing what having technique is in terms of aiming, theres probably many many more things you could talk about the science of aiming, really like the long videos and how much they cover and how well it covers it too. i really want to know more about aiming, i want to be able to teach others about it, i dont do it enough to where id make videos but not just for telling others but for myself. im really into things aiming related and i cant find more about it, you seem to know a lot about the science behind aiming so i really want to know every last detail.

    Great video as always Ridd! I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on centering in regards to smoothness - i.e. not moving your crosshair to the target, but rather moving the target to the center of your screen and keeping it there.
    Technically I guess its the same thing, but at least to me centering feels like it's "easier to digest" if you know what I mean.
    I've been training without a crosshair recently, and I feel like it helped a lot, since it doesn't allow me to fall back into moving the crosshair instead of the target if that makes sense.

    Probably a stupid question but do you smooth track with your arm? I'd imagine that it'd be difficult to track the wide movement of training bots with just your wrist unless you're on high sens. Also what eDPI do you recommend? Been playing valorant for 5-7 months at 280 eDPI (based on val). Tracking is mostly terrible and shaky.
    Also thanks for the great video, quite a breath of fresh air from the other "guides" I've gotten

    • @RiddBTW
      @RiddBTW  Рік тому

      most people can operate effectively anywhere from 15-80 cm with tracking, some can operate even outside of those bounds but it starts to become more difficult. i personally smooth track with (mostly) my arm but some people are amazing with dominant wrist. it is very context-specific and i encourage people to experiment and train both

      glad it's helping! there's no real secret to practicing with visual clutter...it's an unfortunate side effect of modern fps games. Some people have built scens in Kovaaks that purposefully include visual clutter but I can't speak to their effectiveness. It's really something you just have to get better at in game, eye tracking exercises can help.

      i've actually discussed that in my Aim FAQ (I believe) - I haven't seen one method over another being more or less superior, so I would just do what works for you as long as you are focused and attended. most people will break it up by aim area, but i've also seen top aimers that spend most of their time in one mechanic for long periods of time (weeks or more).

    Hello, I haven't been learning proper technique all this time. So I'm gonna learn it properly now, I have a issue with learning step 4 of the smoothness technique. If you get on target, do you just try to see behind the crosshair or do you move your focus to somewhere else on the target?

    • @RiddBTW

      highly suggest always watching the target to read the bot movement. you might visually see the crosshair in the same focus as the target but don't make it become the new object of attention if that makes sense

    I am a palm grip user and I recently changed my grip as I could not use my fingers properly for longer durations as they just start shaking after 30 minutes of gameplay and then I am unable to use any other grip than palm grip and it is very hard and slow for vertical movement as fingers are more responsible for fast vertical movement for microadjustments and it is really hard for me to do .Currently I am using whole arm for vertical microadjustment or anything vertical and it's pretty hard to control. I am having troubles in every type of aiming so do you have any tips in mind ?

    I really liked your idea of Controlsphere and Smoothsphere being combined, like the version you showed in aimlabs, so I actually ended up making a version of it in Kovaaks; it's called 'Psevsphere' and it's on the workshop, it's not the best since I have little experience making scenarios, but it does the job I think. I do actually have a question though, you mentioned when you have 25-30% accuracy, you should move up a tier of difficulty. Is this also true when you're practicing smoothness? Ex, if I'm averaging 40% accuracy on Smoothbot, but I'm using it for a smoothness warmup on say, 2x my sens, should I still move up a difficulty?

    Do you have any suggestions for someone who struggles with smoothness. I seem to twitch and shake a lot in general, and especially while tracking/aiming in general. I think I have some form of very mild ET (essential tremors). Is there some way I can strengthen my hands/arms to reduce the shakes and twitches?
    Sometimes I will be trying to track but suddenly just twitch and my mouse goes further than it should and it's very off putting.
    But more commonly and a bigger problem for me is just generally the shakes I get while aiming. I have very unstable hands in general, and I feel like this translates into my aim too.
    Any tips?

    • @RiddBTW
      @RiddBTW  2 роки тому

      there is someone named Ceiba who has a similar health issue and I'll talk about this more in the video on reactive tracking coming up. but essentially you want to learn to move your mouse with equal force in all directions and practice with different muscle groups. an easy way to practice with diff muscle groups is to change your sens to double or half your normal sens. and deliberately focus on using your wrist almost entirely on the higher sens ranges and mostly your upper arm/shoulder for the lower sens ranges.

      @@RiddBTW Thanks for taking the time to reply! I really do appreciate it. Thanks I'll try training with different sensitivities and focusing on that!
      One thing Ive noticed, is that I'm significantly better at tracking, and I can feel myself improve tracking, whereas with static and dynamic clicking I'm significantly worse and more shaky and rarely ever see an improvement. It's almost like when I flick to the next target I miss by a little bit but when microcorrecting my hand shakes so much and refuses to get onto target.

      @Gershon Dharmanandan I have often shaky hands( just normal shakiness. Not ET), but it doesn't bother my aim much. Now I don't know the extent of your shake. But have you tried to listen to calming music while playing and trying to perhaps make sure you aren't getting cold. I'm not knowledgeable on ET. I would said perhaps research it for yourself.

You mention two aspects that I struggle with combining: crosshair uptime and smooth motions - which is more important? In other words, is it better to make sure that I keep making smooth movements with my mouse even if my crosshair is not actually on the bot or should I focus on having the crosshair on the bot, even if that means having more jittery aim?
