To be fair, the Valorant Combine and other tools in AimLab are very useful if you use them in the right way. I try to explain the correct way to play these games in this video.

There exists a saying in real 3 gun sport shooting that states, “slow is accurate, and accurate is fast”. Another more common way of putting it is “speed is fine, accuracy is final”.
similar to racing, "slow is smooth and smooth is fast"
@@matheuswohl same saying for CQB tactics
I’ve heard it said “slow is smooth, smooth is fast”
EDIT- in hockey growing up
@@iBMcFly can confirm this for hockey
I also play drums the saying applies there too
Well put my friend I will remember this when I play cs next
Realized that accuracy and consistency come before speed during my iron days when i thought to myself "just doing 1 accurate tap kills faster than whiffing a whole spray"
That is facts
Yes
Yep, Still Iron and have problem with that because it’s become a bad habit.
Yup that's why I learned spray control. I used to just spam phantom spray but then I learned to just tap it like 3 to 5 bullets and eventually switched to vandal.
yo that verified sign actually fooled me
My dad taught me something like this with throwing footballs. Except, it wasn't to do with speed VS accuracy, it was distance VS accuracy. It still applies here: who cares if you throw the ball far if nobody can catch it? Who cares if you can flick really fast when all your shots miss?
distance vs accuracy is what i was taught for basketball, no point making 1/100 half court shots
Yep, all it gets you is more cheating reports. When I switched from PS4 to PC (CS:GO) in the first few months I was super inconsistent. Sometimes I would hit flicks that looked like aimbot and many more times than that I could not hit jacksht hahah
This video is absolutely spot-on. I basically made a custom playlist and played exactly as described. Over about a year of practice I went from somewhere in mid emerald to Masters 4, and I went from an inflated plat player in my fps of choice to a multi-season diamond player.
It makes sense if you think of how your brain actually learns. Your brain learns by building pathways. If you slowly train your brain to build a pathway and then reinforce the correct pathway you will eventually do it quickly and effortlessly. This is how your brain learns anything and everything.
Can you share your playlist of that? Thank you so much!

learning how to learn drums in a band setting really lets me apply those concepts to learning any skill, and it's kinda fucking awesome
When I was in Tae Kwon Do we used to say "Skill first, speed later" and then in the military we used to say "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, fast without smooth is out of control" so be smooth.
If you tend to jump from target to target in non-straight movements when aiming instead of straight line movements, I recommend the Aimlab exercise drawing lines. That can help a lot too, because I often see people jumping from target to target in weird circular motions, which takes a lot longer than just making a straight movement to the target.
in reality the targets would be moving, and non-straight movement is better than straight movement, because your hand doesn't stop moving, allowing you to keep your hand more comfortable. this means instead of: move, stop, move, stop. you can shoot then aim at the next target therefore allowing you to aim faster.
gridshot is ironically the most used and also one of the most useless tasks in all of aim labs. It's basically just a pissing contest
yeah. sad... same with tile frenzy. and after almost 4years. people still think tile frenzy is the best for aim only because pros play it.
Gridshot is useful for warm-ups and having fun in general, but to use it to try and seriously improve your aim is a horrible choice
@@nekaa7657 grid shot is good for getting into flow zone. Max. But you can get into it many other ways
I disagree. It has helped me with mouse control, flicks, and reaction timing
@@ram42 you dont even know what r u talking about. Flicking on big dots/squares requires different type of mechanique than flicking on small dost. There is nothing like reaction timing and if you mean reaction time. You are just spasticly talking bullshit and you just made an reactivity since u had rly bad muscle memory.
I admittedly take it personally when aimlab tells me I suck, so I overtry. I'm gonna try to slow it down a bit and focus on the precision for now.
Don't give a shit about what aimlab says. Just pick 3-4 tasks and do them regularly not for more than 30 mins in total. Spend more time playing Valorant or which ever game you trying to get good at. Aim lab will help with mouse control that's it. Muscle memory will come from actually playing the game.
“maybe you should take a break” always gets me lol
personally when i used to grind aim lab for val, i focused more on tracking tasks which i used to struggle a lot with before aim training, and i also took sixshot much more seriously than gridshot as it encourages you to take ur time with the much smaller targets
@Sawhogan it's a good warmup, nothing more or less. just gets your muscles and eyes syncing up
@Sawhogan Gridshot will help in a game like overwatch/Warzone/Apex. It's really good for shotgun type characters. It won't help you at all in a game like CS or Val though. I prefer multishot since it's varying degrees of size and distance so you have to think and adjust to multiple possible target sizes and locations.
I had to come back to this video to leave this comment as I think it is just brilliant. This advice is so simple but clearly beneficial. I'm an old (for gaming) man with a relatively poor aim trying to improve. I took your advice, and for a few days in aim trainers, I focused on landing more shots, missing less, and gave permission to myself to have worse scores. What happened pretty quick - while my scores dropped for a moment, it was just a moment... I quickly started beating my previous scores while having better accuracy. Great advice. Thanks for this video.
using raw speed alone i was able to reach around 120k on gridshot with only around 85-88% accuracy, so for the last month and a half i decided quit that and go slow enough to where i could consistently hit 90+ accuracy, and was able to make my aim way more consistent and stable and reach 130k with 93% accuracy, even in game i have noticed comparing clips of before and after my aim is much more well thought out where as before i would just flick and have to adjust. in other words doing this i learned how to stop flicking and start AIMING
That is insane, i do 91k going full speed ad with 97% accuracy i dont understand
Cool story bro. But it's still not going to get you laid.

I see where you goin'
😉
Before this, I was reaching a ceiling of 80k when I decided to slow down to be more accurate and ended up hitting 90k on the next turn XD
dont play gridshot lmao
I like to do gridshot: precision, in the precision mode, the targets get smaller over time, so players that start off swinging there mouse like a monkey are quickly punished as the mode progresses. It forces the players to find a fine line between speed and accuracy.
Isn’t really punishing them you’re just getting to the smaller targets faster in that mode. Me personally I still get them my score is 102,000 with 96% accuracy

This is really good advice I’m glad I heard! I’ve been getting back into Titanfall 2 lately and god knows with how fast everyone is you need good aim, and I was training the wrong reflexes in aim lab! Thanks
Yes, I'm a guitarist and this is true, to my guitar playing at least. I've been applying a metronome to my gridshot recently. My goal is to atleast have 90% at a certain tempo and maintain it for 3 days or a week then I increase the tempo.
smart idea, but bro lets be real everyone who plays an instrument slowly speeds their practice up aswell it’s just a music thing
As a piano player this is also true XD
That’s cool, but gridshot really doesn’t transfer to most fps games, so try sixshot, it’s much better practice!

Watching this video as a valorant player and a guitarist was very fun lmaoo
I am so glad I came across this video because what you said actually made sense to me and then I understood I what I need to do to improve my aim and to just go really fast! Thank you so much for bringing this point up! We all really appreciate it, man! Definetly subscribing now!
so true. glad I saw this video, I started on the right foot but got lost looking at the leaderboards halfway. i'm going to up my game by taking some steps back and working on accuracy again. thanks dude!
"Let's think about it learning a song in a guitar."
Me: *Bought a guitar*
when Jett knives reset on practice range bots T.T
the real reason is i go outside
Bardpill method: you flick on the direction of the target, underflicking is advised and then you micro-adjust your crosshair to it. You must not miss more than 5 times in a run. Its slow at first but you will see a really fast improvement on your flicks. I was getting constant 86k on sixshot and a week after this method i now can easily surpass 110k sixshot score.
When playing with a metronome its better to flick last second so that you dont make slow movements as that is not a realistic way youd flick an enemy.
bardoz is a god aimer and a practical one too. can count on this for sure
This is my favorite Valorant youtube channel for sure! Hope to see you do more vids regarding the upcoming IceLAN event once the matches start! I thought the video about the Yoru use vs. Vision Strikers was super interesting.
they shouldve added a feature to hide score and only show accuracy 😂
Thanks man, this is really helpful
finally bought a PC after like growing up with consoles and playing on controllers and I am glad I found your video! I was actually training to be fast right off the bat like how you mentioned at the beginning of the video. I subscribed right when I heard to take it slow. Lets see how my aim improves throughout the upcoming months!!!!
Great video, and extremely true- all of my breakthroughs on the speed minigames have come from demanding accuracy of myself first and foremost. Also, the really hard and annoying mini games in the tracking category (which I’m terrible at) have imo been the most helpful, especially for improving at the semi auto weapons in valorant.
I just played grid shot really slowly and was 3k above my median score
actually insane how helpful being told to slow down and take your time is. I'd honestly forgotten that mantra as it's hardly said outside of a condescending way when you get older.
Thank you for this video, I am slowly improving my score and my accurracy throughout time, i look up to improve.

My gridshot high score is only around 70k I think, but I only really use it as a warmup. Also just wanted to say that you make literally some of the best and highest quality valorant content :) glad I discovered you a couple of months ago!
1:42 Notice how he said football instead of soccer. Respect for you man
That’s true, but also don’t criticize the average American for saying soccer. If it’s what we call it then that’s what you’re going to hear
You get triggered from soccer?
Bro you have made an excellent point using the perfect analogy. Glad I watched this the first day into trying out aimlabs.
This is exactly how I approached aim training when I started. I wouldn’t let my accuracy drop below 95% on aimlabs. So I went as fast as I could for 95+ percent and after 2 months I was able to hit a 101000 score
you explained that concept so well it could apply to any shooter even on controller. honestly made me really understand it for the first time and realize the mistake i’ve always made but never realized🤣🤣i appreciate it man great video
I LOVE the examples you used.
I never once expected to learn a song at full speed when I first picked up guitar, so why do I expect exactly that from improving my aim??
You just opened my eyes, a-thank-u-sir
well said. I think this trains for a calmer state if mind when you see an enemy making crosshair adjustment more deliberate which nets in higher confidence in gunfights
Thanks, this really helped most of the time I have been going for score and overflicking in games now I'm getting better.
Thanks for the tips this makes me feel like I wasn't compleatly lost but rather kind of strying from the path. I generally try to get 90% accuracy and then go for speed and if I can't do 90 then i slow down but sometimes I get caught up in the scores thanks bro
Before watching this video my highest score in gridshot ultimate was like 92,000. But early the next day I was able to get 102531. I tried slowing down, and then eventually my hand would go off! Almost like it was revving up or something. I changed my sens recently and that helped quite a lot. And I tried to do more doubles and triples, as well as think of them as groups/shapes so I could go through them faster. Thanks to your video I "ascended" my score.
Yo dude, that is sick! DM me on Twitter: twitter.com/ElevatedSpeaks I want to send you some Valorant Points.
what is your rank ?
Used to be a silver2 (can't hit the broad side of a barn) and after about 120hrs I am at ruby4 (I still don't stand a chance against most players I fight) but I certainly noticed a change in my aim. Instead of hoping i hit my shots I would have these moments of knowing my shot would land. (Rarely, but it happens)
They should add an option like Miss multiplier so that you lose much more points when you miss allowing you to still enjoy the points going up while still making sure your acurate
wow honestly I've been playing fps' competitively for years now and I've seen a ton of "advice/tip" videos over that time and this is the first video that actually has real tips that make sense and I can understand and WILL be implementing.
Another tip is use grid shot as a warm up for your warm up. 1 wall 6 targets small will most likely do you more good for your aim.
This is so true, as long time guitar player myself i can confirm you are 100% right about the speed building approach.
Slow progressive practice also makes you more focused on the task, resulting in more effective Training overall. IMO its just hard for most people to discipline into NOT CARING about what some random dude can do and focus on your skill and how YOU are improving
This works. Recommended to try this out. Thanks a lot for your help
Thanks. I think this is a good advice. I would like to add, that one should try to find their preferred sens and apply it to different games.
My problem in some FPS is also, that I can identify the targets more easily in the training. But that is for training the accuracy of the mouse or even gamepad movements ok. In fact that helps to train the brain and muscles for good movement better than the game itself where one tends to have a layer of FF decision first (unless it is FFA of course).
You could use aimlab/kovaaks like an athlete would. They have an off-season where they ONLY lift weights and workout, then season where they stop training weights altogether and only focus on the game. You can use aimlab exclusively for a few months out of the year and solely focus on aim, then stop aimlab altogether for the rest of the year and only focus on the game. Your target reading skills will improve exponentially that way. Eventually you'll get to the point where you won't even need to take time off to practice aimlab anymore.
@@Spladoinkal this is very bad advice, you will fall further behind if you take months off of any game to focus purely on aim. Game sense and positioning in almost any FPS is what separates the bad from the good.
@@mackcub9409 You either lack critical thinking or you're too young to understand the insignificance of 3 months out of a year. After 4 years of playing you'll have achieved a full total year of aim training as well as 3 whole years of learning "Game sense and positioning." Professional sports players use periodic training like this for a reason. Muscle memory allows you to pick right back up from one after having practiced the other for a while with little to no training.
@@Spladoinkal Let me know then in 4 years how far behind you've fallen in game metas, strategy, and how things changed in those 3 month breaks to focus on being able to click circles faster.
@@mackcub9409 Are you serious? O_o
When I first started playing grid shot a few months ago my high score was 67k. After focusing more on precision than speed (and playing a lot of precision tasks in aimlab, now I can almost get 100k+ consecutively if I'm well warmed up and have a high score of 107k. Thx for putting this out for more people to see, since there's a lot of people playing gridshot every day with no success.
it's always better to start slower but be accurate, it's a mistake that a lot of new aim trainers make.. when you go fast but you're inaccurate you're building bad muscle memory. Always prioritize accuracy 1st before speed, the speed will come with time. Also I find that sometimes after training for a while my arm and wrist gets tired and I start to getting what I call "lazy arm" where I start undershooting the targets because I'm mostly using my wrist and fingers to aim (I use fingertip grip) instead of my arm as well. To help fix this what I do is turn my sensitivity way down so that I need to make bigger movements with my arm in order to reach the targets, I do this for a few minutes then turn my sensitivity back to normal which makes me feel a lot faster because now I have my arm more involved. I might overshoot for a min or so until I get readjusted, but it helps me correct the bad habit of getting "lazy" with my aim. You could do the same if you find yourself overshooting or find that your aim feels kind of "jittery" and inaccurate, just turn your sensitivity up for a few scenarios or a few mins then turn it back down to your regular sensitivity. Also when finding the right edpi (mouse dpi x sensitivity), consider what game you're mainly playing. For games like Valorant my edpi is much lower because I usually don't have to make a lot of big flicks with good crosshair placement, whereas when I used to play games like OW or Apex the movements are so much faster and you're consistently having to make large adjustments that I find that I played better with a higher edpi when I played those games. Hope this helps!
You definitely want to focus on speed when training flicks but there has to be a balance, if you’re hitting every single shot you aren’t going fast enough, but if you’re missing most of your shots you’re going too fast
I consistently get about 95k, and occasionally slump in 85k and peak at around 100k. Though I average around 85%-88% accuracy, which is likely why my aim still feels terrible in VALORANT and i'm hovering at around Silver 3 - Gold 1. This video provided me a ton of insight, thanks so much! Keep up the awesome videos!
Bro thank you so much for these tips. I was getting like 60k on gridshot but like 80 accuracy. I decided to take it slow and now i hit the same with 95 accuracy. I know it's not much but it's def an improvment in my opinion
I remember when when I used to get 60k with 82~ accuracy, once I started focusing on accuracy I hit 85k 94~ accuracy in less than 2 weeks
fr tho man you make really good and in depth videos about this. Love your hard work
been using aimlab for about a month now and u are right i just watched this vid today and all of the points u made i realised myself overtime, i have a slight adhd so i cant really focus so hard that when i speed up for too long i miss l, so i start at medium speed then i speed up to as fast as i can for like 20 seconds and then i slow down again, over time i stppped doing this as my brain got used to me focussing for longer now i can regularly pull out 65k plus in gridshot with 85-95% accuracy, my highscore is 72k but im sure ill improve when i get my new laptop soon. i have an old monitor so input delay is high while i do have a nice mouse and keyboard, i do struggle with my intel hd 620 laptop that gives out 40-90fps depending on maps at 1024x768 in valorant which adds even more input delay as the fps is low making me very stuck in iron. my. mousepad is relatively fast tho i would upgrade to like a soft control pad, im emerald 1 in aimlab and iron 3 in valorant but i do go to iron 2 and iron 1 regularly, when the new act starts imma play a lot so i can rank up as fast as possible, but there are so many smurfs on singapore servers that lower elo is impossible
totally agree with this guy, focus on accuracy and form first (the motion of your mouse, shrap and clean line of horizontal,diagonal and vertical mouse movement) first then speed will come naturally. initially i got 65000+ score on gridshot and trying to maintain on 90+ percent accuracy, proceed into 3 months later. i got 90000+ score and still maintain the same 90+ percent accuracy.
just a general piece of advice for aim training is that you wanna stay at a speed slightly higher then comfortable. So basically, every time u get comfortable at a certain speed, go a tiny bit faster until that tiny bit faster speed now becomes ur new normal/comfortable speed. For example, lets say speed is a scale of 1-100, 100 being literal aimbot, 95 being a pro kovaaks/aim labs player 90 being tenz, 50 being ur average fps player with decent experience (like a plat player) 20 being someone new to fps (bronze or iron) and 0 being ur an amputee. now lets say that u aim at a level of 58, u would wanna aim train at a level of 59-60 until ur now a 60 speed level player, as soon as u feel that this new slight speed boost is now just ur regular speed, up it again. Dont worry about score. Focus on being consistent, and focus on improvement.
Other then this 10/10 guide the other thing I wanna say is, as a guitarist all of these amazing guitarists you have clips of in this video is just so great. Yngwie, Buckethead. Love it❤ keep up the great work?
It makes sense. If your goal is too improve your aim then you should be focused on trying to never miss a shot during practice
3:28 wtf I want the full clip
I think that was the best video I've ever seen around that "Improving your aim with Aim Lab"-topic. I am really sure that helps, I will definitely pay more attention to my accuracy now. The problem with Aim Lab is - as you already said - that focusing on speed over accuracy will nearly always get you more points. So I'm super happy I watched your video, sub much deserved.
not necessarily, you'll be capped if you focus solely on speed, and you'll be stuck there having hard time to improve bcuz your accuracy will be probably under 90%
focusing on accuracy will put you in zone where you will confidently increase your speed while not even focusing on it but focusing solely on accuracy.
Happy to hear this and I thought it was obvious, but maybe not... My accuracy is always my priority and I've only been on PC since the end of Jan 2022, never played on PC or LAptop in my life, coming from mobile. I'm consistently hitting above 99% accuracy. My results training 1h a day for 7 days = Flicking 47% | Tracking 53% | Speed 68% | Precision 50% | Perception 0.1% | Cognition 62% (I'm aiming to get good enough to start streaming my own FPS gameplay)
I used to play guitar and i was thinking of aim training exactly same way as you presented, and it shows most result in beginning, but the more you learn progress gets slower and less visible.
Dude I used the metronome strat and it was really good, extremely more consistent really recommend ya'll to try this out
If each aim trainer was going off of accuracy and speed of execution, you would have to be accurate first to even score at all, maybe like an Osu! system where it rewards accuracy more than speed (Osu! is obviously timed but consecutive hit score multiplier)
thank you very much for this info. So simple, but we all missed it. I will now always try to keep 95%+ accuracy and use a metronome.
Thanks Man. I'll be sure to practice
I'm extremely glad I clicked on this video. I loved the use of a metronome while aim training. I got a high score the first time I used a metronome. Thanks for this video, once again. Subbed!
95k high score on gridshot but I haven’t grinded it out in a while, the only aim lab event I do at this point is sixshot (occasionally pentakill)
If practicing at a high speed is bad for aim because it develops a habit of missing, would it be bad to practice in the open range against the hard bots if I can only get around 13 kills consistently? If so should I lower it to medium, and wait until my aim improves to the point of getting 20-25+? Thanks for all the useful info in the video by the way, I'm brand new to shooter games and I'm trying to improve my aim by doing AimLab for 20 min before I play Valorant. Before I was too focused on shooting quickly and getting score in practice, now I'm going for as high accuracy as possible while still maintaining a decent speed thanks to your tips, and even after one playlist I can see the massive difference.
Now I'm just wondering about how to improve with tracking
Tbh I'd really suggest using modes like spider shot and reflex shot, and micro shot for flick training more often before using grid shot as grid shot is highly unrealistic since you allways know where orbs are before you switch to shoot it, thus not taking reaction speed into consideration.
not just that, its also the size of the targets that also matters, u may be a god at grid shot but suck at csgo or a game that has target and the heads of them 10 times smaller than grid shot, thats why you always should train with small targets, no need to focus on speed focus on accuracy first
I like how this information literally applies in almost all aspects of life and learning new things. You cant start too fast, be humble and learn the basics with accuracy before trying to replicate the best of the best in the skill. osu, instruments, exercise, a lot of hobbies, etc.
Incredible video. Thank you!
Great video buddy! I am an Iron 3 player, but I only play for fun with friends... But make me kinda sad being a completely shit at the game. Trying to practicing by myself, I didn't improve a lot, so I gave up... With your tips, I'll start again and try do make myself better at the game!
Cheers from Brazil!!!
So whats the progress
As a decent guitarist he's 100% correct.
Speed is achieved through repetitive accuracy.
U helped me a lot, thank you!
Wayyy late, but I just got a pc and new to a lot of this stuff, but the metronome example is perfect!!! Same thing in percussion, practicing slow was the focus, speed comes naturally. As soon as I saw this game I figured slow and steady was gonna be the trick and speed would come later
actually i play the guitar and i know how it is to learn a song with starting slow. Very good video about the most important thing
Same. Though I spent about 6 months in the aim trainer before it hit me one day: "Wait a second... Building muscle memory and fine muscle motor control skills? Where have I done THAT before?!?!?!". My current routines pool approaches from lots of different places now, but especially music. I even do that thing we'd do in guitar when you can't seem to break through a certain speed and just say to hell with it for a minute and play it as fast as you can just to see what it feels like at speed, then go back to the "perfect" practice. It's kind of amazing how similar it feels training aim and music. :)
I think engaging in gunfights in every game you pick up is the way to go. Your aim can be the best, but if you don't understand the timing, map awareness, and gunplay of the game your are playing, you will hit a wall. Especially in games with less than ideal hit reg. Imho, you want those easy chip shots, especially in ranked tac shooters where you are playing the pick against people your skill level or better. No matter how good your aim is, the sure shot is best shot.
This makes sense when someone is first starting to learn how to aim, but if you already know how and want to increase the speed at which you can aim you need to work on going "Fast". If you never train speed you will never be fast, we need to make sure we understand that accuracy and speed are 2 totally different skills and we can't work on both at the same time we need to focus on them separately. It's like going to the gym and trying to get "bigger" and "shredded" at the same time you can't do it because you need to eat less to get shredded and eat more to get bigger... same thing with getting more accurate or getting faster. Great video but their is some disagreement in the sense that speed needs to be trained just as much as accuracy but keep them separate.
Amazing vid my man!
I liked the video (I would have loved it if we had the option...) just for the fact that you mention the music thing. I'm old as shit for a gamer and I have ridiculously bad health issues that screw with coordination, perception, etc, on top of that so shooter games are insanely difficult for me, but when I finally started using the music practice approach 3-4 years ago, it's like every hour of practice was suddenly as effective as a weeks practice when I was just kind of winging it, maybe more. In fact, an older friend of mine is in her 70's and I helped her get set up and gave her my practice routines and she was able to learn to flick shoot me out of mid air with a hand cannon within a few months. I'm glad to see that more people are taking notice that musicians have already worked out the most effective way to build insanely good muscle memory and fine motor control/skill. Another tool from music that *I* do is taken straight from my years as a serious guitar player when I was first building my chops: I had a HELL of a time building speed at first and one recommendation for getting over that was to just throw out all the rules for a a while and play it as fast as you want it to be without caring about accuracy just to see what it feels like. I don't mean practicing it sloppy though, I mean just do it temporarily to see what that fast motion feels like. It's like trying to get over a hump by pushing from one side with the slow perfect practice and pulling from the other side by just seeing what it feels like.
*Me being born*
God: A little bit of depression potion, quite a bit of single potion, a few drops of iq potion, and a few drops of..

@@dans1491 feel for you
play kovaak's and use an aiming routine, I recommend aimer7's kovaak's guide since I used it myself but I know that others like sparky's routine are good as well. these routines are made by high level players who spent hundreds of hours researching aiming scenarios, using these routines everyday can make your aim good really fast, only downside is you have to be consistent with doing your routine everyday.
God never makes mistakes, here is the misunderstanding:

@@StalkerStrike762 not everything can be changed. Low IQ is an example
I personally try to diversify my training away from gridshot. I liie playing the strafe trace one and spider shot as they naturally force me to slow down and focus on accuracy
Thanks for the advice!
Man, the title really helps my self-esteem
same man
*same*
if it is relatable to you then you should follow the advice in the video
Titles like these make me want to leave youtube and cry on the floor
@@leoserodio7614 it's a jk mate but thx for your concern
@@lvbboi9 Lmao yea my comment was also half-hearted but I know that you wouldn't really cry. Cheers
Yngwie Malmsteen and Buckethead, great choices!
yeah man buckethead is the Goat
Buckethead better
As a guitarist, I love that you used guitar practice as an example. It's almost exactly the same thing, especially when comparing to shredding/speed-practice.
I needed to hear this video, this makes aiming so much more understandable
Gridshot and most tasks in Aim Labs are far easier to get high scores on with a high sens. Forearm aim takes way too long compared to just flickign the wrist.
I use 500x0.5 for aimlab i can get 91k-100kish
@@Minjeyo_ I mean that's now really low sens, and ye its all about practice. In general it is much easier to get higher scores with high sens.
In aimlabs I have a really high accuracy but low everything else especially tracking
My tracking is really bad, I have always been a flicky player
@@damnson9170 Some games like Apex and Warzone requires good tracking skills
bruh, i have everything low but my tracking it's high
good comparison to the guitar shredder.. never thought of it that way lol..
Funny, I was practicing earlier and thought of the analogy to learning an instrument as well when I was trying to slow down my practice and be more methodical.
The thing about using a metronome how would I know when it's time to increase the tempo? Never used one before but thinking of applying it to better my aim
no need to use a metronome, you can play music in the background and click to the beat as if it were a rhythm game
You'd want to be getting 95% or better accuracy before increasing tempo.
@@Kiwippy are we mixing 3D aim with osu?

I recommend the ethos warmup pack. Then hit gridshot before loading into matches..this helped me a lot
I don't even play Valorant, but I still will preach that playlist and recommend it too. It's full of the ones that actually matter to improve aim, and they order it in a well thought out way. Gridshot helps aim a little bit, and is fun, but upping my scores on the Valorant ethos pack, and not playing gridshot at all, actually made me better at gridshot than I was.
I’ve started using a metronome when I play aimlabs! I’ve found it a o be very beneficial to do a few runs at 120, then move up to 150, then 175, then push it over 200+ before I play anything
Yeah had this thought while training just use it to warmup your hand and arm muscles… dont focus on score then gradually get faster and which should lead to gradual improvement over time. Will try to start going slower thx
Also want to shed some light on how scoring works in Aim Lab since a lot of people probably don't know.
Your score is impacted the most by your accuracy. You get more points for hitting smaller targets and more points the more shots you hit in a row. In addition to that, you *lose* points every time you miss a shot. Speed will increase your score if, and only if, you are consistently hitting targets. If you have to slow down a little every time a small target pops up to ensure you don't miss the shot, you will end up with a higher score. If you really want to focus on speed only, the "speed" tasks are best for that as they display only large targets which are easier to hit. For "precision" tasks, you benefit way more from taking your time to ensure as high of accuracy as possible as the targets get smaller.
I looked up my Gridshot Ultimate high score, it's ~71k. Headshot Precision, on the other hand, my *average* score is 99th percentile(just under 100k, different scoring model). Then Multilinetrace, I'm on the leaderboard with 119k.
