I started Valorant last month and have been trying to improve. I watched a ton of aim and movement videos everyone talks about being further back from the wall, but this is the first time I have seen anyone comment about starting your peek from further back in order to get to full momentum before peeking. It makes complete sense when you are told and think about it, but the thought never crossed my mind. Great tip!
the part about the 2 step i didnt know as a diamond played and how to properly pop and swing was very helpfull and also the part about silent jump peeking helped me insanely especialy in clutch rounds to gain easy info without revealing ur position
Another reason to only swing with a or d is so your movement is purely perpendicular to someone holding angle. Similar as trying to maximize speed with 2 steps vs 1, which is something I learned from this, thanks. Good video
I’ve heard a lot of these tips but this is well articulated and concise. A fantastic refresher on the foundation of movement! The tip about the two step is very new to me even though I’ve got 1k hours. Always more to this game than you think. Thanks a lot !!
Love the video, Good job bro. Learned alot. But maybe next time do it with a second person so u can show us how to counter strafe an enemy and stuff :)
The two key swing is band because it’s way slower than just an A or D swing. That is you appear to move far slower left to right to your opponent and hence give them an easier shot.
1 more reson to not peek with w and a or d is the crossair placment you have to moove your maus moor if you peek with 2 keys if you peek with 1 you know wher to aim even if you are in cover
Peeking with two steps it gives u momentum and messes up the enemy crosshair when the barrier drops Peeking hugging close to the wall shows ur body first to the enemy , take two steps back and then peek again and go wide The more far away u are from the wall from where u are about to peek more advantage u get [my notes ig]
i have a question, how to kill a strafing enemy cuz what happens it that i start strafing and opponent too is strafing so we both move and cant hit eachother but eventually it becomes 50-50 chance of getting kill or get killed so what to do in that situation
Dear Jaeky, I trust this message finds you well. It has been quite some time since our last exchange, back on May 8, 2023. I sincerely hope life has treated you kindly since then. I recently came across your latest UA-cam video, "Radiant Movement Guide," and I must express my gratitude for the invaluable insights it provides. Your dedication to sharing expertise in Valorant has undoubtedly contributed to the improvement of many players, myself included. In the realm of competitive Valorant, I am pleased to inform you that my journey has seen remarkable progress. Having started at Soil 0, I am now proudly holding the distinguished rank of -1 Radiant, a feat I attribute in no small part to your informative content. Your guidance has undeniably enhanced my movement skills to the point where opponents question the laws of physics. They say I move like a quantum particle, simultaneously present and elusive. I suppose you could say my movement is so smooth; I leave a trail of confusion in my wake. As we usher in the new year, I want to extend my heartfelt wishes for a prosperous and joyful 2024. May it be filled with continued success, both in your endeavors and on the virtual battlegrounds of Valorant. Looking forward to more of your insightful content in the coming year. Warm regards, Kasu
You don't WA/WD peek because you'll have two keys to let go off and your reaction time will be slow but rather it's because WA makes you very slow compared to A-D peek and you're alot easier to hit in some angles.
He's deadzoning. Look at woohoojins guide if u haven't already. He's strafing and in between each strafe there's a very small window where you can shoot accurately. Since this guy probably has tons of hours on this game he does it very fluidly and its very hard to notice.
@@Marco11502 haha I watch woohoojin an unhealthy amount, but I don’t think it’s necessary to double tap A, and then double tap D. I don’t recall banana talking about that.
@@bryanlin8333 no brother. Look closely. He's not double tapping it for decoration. Lets say he's strafing to the right. In order to come to a complete stop, he has to press the opposite key (A) to achieve that "deadzone." I do notice that he's "double tapping" it, but it looks more to me like he's stopping his momentum so he can line up his shot instead of moving all the time. But yeah, idk why he double taps it lmao
OMG. This guide is insane. The best I've ever seen. I don't need it, because I've spent 2k hours in valo, but my friend does need it. I thought I would have to show him almost everything myself or send multiple videos, but this is a hidden (not really hidden because of almost 200k views) gem.
You don’t need a rapid trigger keyboard to improve. You can get just as good on a regular keyboard, just make sure to practice the correct fundamentals.
ever since i started val ive been a victim of crouch spraying, coming off of csgo its really hard to get out of the habit of insta crouch in troubling situations
Habits you should break coming from CS:GO to Valorant - Try to break the habit of crouching. - Try to break the habit of counter strafing in a fight. (Its a Valorant thing due to the move speed of the characters making counter-strafing in a raw fight suboptimal) - Try to break the habit of tilting the team. - Try to understand that characters are faster in the game and your momentum is typically faster. - Matchmaking is a b*tch
I find myself getting shot very easily when I try to play slow and carefully check areas. The 2 step mechanic seems interesting but I dont like giving away sound cues to enemies especially if I do it at a angle without an enemy. Any thoughts about this would be great if ever my approach is wrong when engaging gun fights.
@@KuneshFromSkalitz Listen to what he said in the video. This guy's comment is technically true but I don't wanna ramble too much so basically close = move 1% quicker but opponent will see you before you see them (because they'll see your shoulder while you're staring at a wall)
@@KuneshFromSkalitzit’s situational, the idea of seeing them first is also relative to your opponent’s position. In a nut shell the person furthest from the angle will have the advantage in terms of seeing the enemy first, but the person closer will appear to move faster. In some situations it’s better to move faster when peaking and others better to spot first. There’s no one rule though.
I honestly thinks at the speed you swing while the enemy’s see your shoulder first it negates. Im immortal 3 and I almost never swing from further away, but I think a big factor of that is I rely on my aim a lot more. When you swing further away you see more of the map at a slower pace allowing you to counter strafe, but if you swing close you are committing to a fight with unknown conditions waiting on the other side. This close swing was actually popularized in CSGO and used to be called the Ferrari peek. But like you guys said, it’s all situational and both swings have their pros and cons so it honestly just comes down to personal preference.
@KuneshFromSkalitz while everything is situational, if you are already intending on committing to a hard wide swing it is often worth getting close to the corner for the extra bit of perceived speed. The most dangerous time to do the close corner peak is when the enemy could be close to the same corner. For example if you are swinging out ascent A main as a defender and an attacker walked up close enough to be looking at your corner with a large-ish angle (roughly 45 degrees) they will see you significantly earlier than you see them and it is unlikely your crosshair placement is prepped for that fight. Because of this it is generally risky to do the close peak if you have zero info on where the player you are fighting is. There is a good chance you have already experienced this by swinging out and being jump scared because someone is RIGHT THERE.
Personally, The last one is the hardest to master especially when you are not used to counter strafing. I have been playing Valorant for like 3 years and still, I always hold 2 keys at the same time.
i started valorant 2 years ago, watched tons of guides, practiced, got a bit better etc. But i feel like I am still trash, like i dont have the talent to play lmao
i noticed when you burst in 4:50 you kinda tap the opposite direction key then you press it again in quick succession. Do you mind making a video on that. Also do you use SOCD?
Are you referring to counter strafing? If so, I’ve made a video on it already here: ua-cam.com/video/TvPP7bhO7xM/v-deo.htmlsi=70NxyfWbP7Lmiu8T and no, I don’t use SOCD as it isn’t very useful in Valorant.
Bruh my dumbass forgot the peeking angles part… like now I’m understanding how I die 80 percent of the time. Sittin here thinkin it’s a ping issue. For shame😓
Hi there jaeky , nice guide. But could u answer 1 question . I think alot of the peeps here wanted to know as well . U urself, do u counter strafe or just let go the keyboard key or u press the opposite button n the strafe direction button at the same time, to stop ? Eg : strafe left (a) > bottom right key (d)
bro im lefty im using very weired movment using arrows using skills by delete end and ] [ and crouching with \ and reloading with pad 4 button and jumping with right ctrl with right shift to walk how im supposed to follow this video
Question, seems like when you strafe between gun fights, you don’t counter strafe. But when you peek, you do counter strafe. It’s more consistent for me to slice the pie while counter strafing, but it almost seems like counter strafing fucks me up when I strafe between fights. It feels like I get stuck in my movement compared to if I strafed without counter strafing. What are your thoughts on this?
So its a semi-recent discovery that since your Valorant character model doesn’t have as many frames while walking as lets say cs:go, you are fast enough to where its quicker to just full stop rather than counter strafe in the opposite direction. You should definitely switch up your strafes in gunfights though!
idk why im here when my CS2 Premier rank is 20k and Faceit Level 9. The recoil in this game sucks. I saw many videos where you got shot, but you still able to maintain the recoil. But for some reason, my recoil went haywire when I got hit. The amount of times, my bullet LITERALLY beside the opponent's ear is INSANE! The amount of body shots as well. By far this game the worst I ever played.
Hey! Understanding when to use the shift key can be tricky. Generally, avoid walking when peeking angles as it makes you an easy target. Opt for full movement speed while peeking. Save walking for quiet movement around the map to stay discreet. When clearing corners or sites, try piecing together the angles without using the shift key-slice the pie methodically and jiggle each angle individually for a more controlled approach. Hope this helps clarify its usage!
I can't play bc it says no internet connection but it's saying I'm not connected, and I play with ethernet. Idk what is going on can you help me with that?
Can u help me in my server people will just shameless aim leg but will not stop moving they will just move like monkeys and just kill me wile me trying to hit heads
Just fyi, those jump peeks are kinda bad since its quite easy to kill you. Its much better to flick to the left so ur character turns faster. It especially looks harder to shoot. In general it doesnt matter tho since peoples reaction time isnt under 100ms
