Thank you for the review 💕 rA can be harder to understand as someone who comes from Sparky due to the chat nature of "shitposting" especially since Sparky is very against it. However the more time you spend there, the more you'll realize that giving people more freedom in general actually makes the server an overall more fun and friendly place to be :)
Thanks for putting the community together, and I completely agree with those principles. People sometimes have a hard time 'letting go' but I find it empowers people to flourish, and clearly the benchmarks have proven that out.
Honestly for me you’re not doing anything wrong maybe a little more of better quality, more lighting, all that. It would be appreciated but honesty this channel is underated af.
cool video :) also thanks for taking the shitposting with humor! we hope we don't scare anyone off with the chat being so loosely moderated. but that's what a lot of people wished for. a place to chat about whatever u want with some like minded people, which sparky sadly has stepped away from, in pursuit of their professional rebranding to voltaic. (business choice, which is good for sini)
Haha yeah even though I'm old, I grew up on the internet so I've seen just about everything. And honestly it's nice to not take things seriously, I mean...I put a lot of time and effort into my aim training but having fun is more important.
Thanks for the feedback. I have been thinking the same, I have decent lighting so I think I need to set more static webcam settings when recording. Also the fact that I have my bright screen right in front of my face doesn't help >_
Constructive criticism: From the few I saw of your static dots runs, it seems you don't trust your aim enough. You could probably click earlier without taking so much time to make sure your crosshair is on target but you don't. Try pushing yourself on that aspect.
What are your thoughts on the new beta sparky benchmarks. It looks like they took a lot of inspiration from rA for which scenarios they use and how the scenarios are grouped together. I’ve tried both rA and the new sparky benchmarks and I like the sparky ones more, because they have easy scenarios for the sub diamond ranks and my tracking wasn’t good enough to get diamond on new sparky or silver on rAim.
I haven't played them very much myself, but yes I agree with your assessment. I think it makes sense to have the easier scens for people that are starting out lower in the ranks. With that said, I think the community should do a better job recognizing that it's probably better to start out with harder scens than you think you should be. This is just my personal opinion though. I've found that your brain makes less connections if you don't create some kind of major event, such as dealing with frustration.
@@RiddBTW yeah I agree that harder scenarios are better, and lead to faster improvement to a point, but sometimes they are too hard and time spent in them is less effective. When I started out, I could barely kill 10 bots in popcorn sparky. But on the easy version, I’d get 20-25. If I’m only doing 5 runs of popcorn a day, the difference between hitting 50 bots vs 100+ bots is kind of large.
My wrist seems to be pretty shaky when using my wrist to aim at any point. Do these benchmarks help with that? I tend to use both wrist and arm when aiming.
Would be interested in a brief settings video. I am currently using the christmasiscancelled ones but sometimes I struggle with visibility and am wondering if his are really optimal.
Thank you! I hadn't actually thought of it since Christmas put a solid one out, but maybe it would help to go over why certain settings are better or worse for certain scenarios.
@@RiddBTW yeah I would agree, that approach would likely be more helpful. I do see people using the darker color backgrounds with a lighter crosshair. I definitely struggle sometimes with seeing my green crosshair. Especially when using the dot for small targets. I’d be interested in tips for improving at static dots and speed especially. I’ve been doing the flick experimental routine as you suggested and feel that my precision has been improving but my static dot scenarios for the sparky silver routine and the benchmarks haven’t really been. If I try to go faster my precision and accuracy goes down. It may just be something that takes longer to break through the plateau though.
@@sealteamz6 Christmasiscancelled actually has a really good video (and overall 'how to' playlist) for improving static dots, you can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/e4kb2BG_D-M/v-deo.html Flick experimental is great for improving, but you do have to push yourself. If your accu is high, you need to push yourself on speed (it should be uncomfortable). If your accu is low, focus more on precision and creating straight lines between targets. You'll be alternating between these two extremes over a long period of time. The most important thing is not to get complacent. When you are training you need to be pushing yourself every time. Like if you lift weights and your goal is to get stronger, you want to push your muscles to failure in that lifting session.
Quick note: might be a bit confusing since there are new benchmarks for spark (voltaic) that literally *just* came out right before this video, so I figured that was what this video was about lol. Nothing to do with the content itself I guess though, just the timing
That's a really good point... when I recorded this everything in the aim community seemed to change immediately after, lol. So kind of bad timing but I also didn't want to lose the content. I'm sure I'll put out a video on the new voltaic benchmarks as well.
so once i have done the benchmarks where do i go from there. I know i should work on my weaknesses but how do i know which exercise will correspond with the benchmarks
You have options, you can either continue grinding the benchmarks or find routines specific to the aim mechanics you want to work on. Or you could simply play 'complete' routines. I have another video where I talk about routines applicable to specific mechanics. You can also get a ton of routines I keep stored in my github: github.com/riddbtw/kovaaks-playlists
I don't have any videos on aimlab really, unfortunately. I will in the future make a video for aimlab on how to use rA benchmarks, but it is pretty clunky right now.
@@RiddBTW thank youbroo I ask them on discord and they are so very helpful I did not knownthat this is so hard I csn just get bronze or silver rank here in first tryyy thankk youu for the replyy
They're both really good, I would say they're just different in some ways, with the rA benches still being more challenging (even the easy ones). rA seems to be transitioning to AimLabs but they still release a ton of content specific to Kovaaks. So the same mantra applies: in terms of fast release/innovation, rA is leading there. In terms of community support, widespread adoption, and "polish" I give the edge to Voltaic.
@@DJlwky It's up to you, I would think of it more as an option to keep interest, or try something new vs. a progression to avoid until you're 'good enough.' Experimentation is key to your success here.
Yes! I actually am in the middle of editing it right now :) Should be out in the next few days. Smoothbot is a rough scen, you need a combination of horizontal and vertical smoothness, and a bit of reactivity. Try running PureRoutines smoothness routines if you haven't already tried that.
Hey, I'm just a sparky bronze playing on 60hz 60fps....there is another Aimbot.exe benchmarks also...i want to improve my overall aim and I'm at a low level, which should I use, Voltaic, Aimbot.exe, or rAim? Also how far do you think I would better my aim if I were to practice 1hr a day consistently for 1 year?
rA will probably be too difficult for you until you're around gold/plat Voltaic, so I would just use the Voltaic fundamental routines for now. How far you get depends on a lot of factors, but I would say on average you can expect to get around plat/diamond Voltaic in that timeframe.
negative constructive feedback: I need a sick bass intro groove, your bass is looking very lonely back there, and as a fellow bass player, it hurts me a little, love the videos tho
U rite and a couple other commenters brought this up as well, I will fix it for the next vid! But please keep giving me feedback on future vids...I want to continuously improve!
Eyy, I saw myself in the benchmarks, lmao, on the real though, can you send me your color scheme :3 lmao, looks sick. Question, are you recording in 4k? Is your camera 4k? If not why are you exporting and uploading in 4k? :o Do I not know something? For some reason I love air angelic lmao. I seem to enjoy scenerious that people hate lol. I enjoy the rAim bench's more then the Sparky ones.
My walls are pure color - 21004C with rougness/metallic/full bright around .65. Floors/sky is pure color 7300A3, .47, .792, 0. Enemy bodies are 9EFF00 with everything set to 0. For recording, I actually recorded this in 960p on accident, but I render it with 2160p reso so that UA-cam gives the video a better codec. I like the rA benches more than Sparky's too!

so true
I dont have a doc or a cat but I wish I did so I could watch your videos with them

Pro trick: you can watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

for sure, but i would suggest spending more time focusing on wrist/fingertip aim specifically if you have identified that as a weakness

are the voltaic updated routines on par now or has RA still got an edge over it?
