The slide section is missing a key detail. To slide with your weapon out requires three footsteps, with your gun holstered it only requires one footstep. Anything under this will be a dead slide.
He actually mentions this. Though it’s when he mentions the hand on screen rather than “steps”. Which is an easier representation to understand when to slide and not have a dead slide.
I think the video is missing a lot in terms of teaching. I might be biased by being a dumbo, but the information seems far too rapid as if it could have been 20+ minutes and actually for beginners but instead it was for "beginners" who have played a ton, already know the basics, and just want to know how streamer X does the crazy thing.
if someone wants a more in depth explaination for the movement showed here i recommend watching "How to Dead Slide, Faide Slide, Skip Jump and More" by JayTheYggdrasil for specific timings and "The mechanic that shaped Titanfall speedruns" by zweek is based in titanfall but most of the knowledge still applies in apex. also an example of airstrafing that is a bit more noticeable is the octane's pad trick on gravity cannons
Recently noticed that scroll wheel airstrafea work in Titanfall. Now I have to see how far back I can go until it stops working. Half Life 2? Half Life 1? Quake II? GLQuake?
Hello from Team Fortress 2 rocket jumper. When I first learned about how to air/tap strafe in this game, this only took me less than 15 minutes to practice and master (and other similar Source mechanics) because I'm very used to the original Source Engine movement (i.e. Half Life 2, Quake, Team Fortress 2, CS:GO). I don't know if it's just me, but I haven't seen a lot of players in the lobby perform tap strafe possibly because they get used to his/her "common sense" movement mechanic and ignores the behind mechanics of Apex thinking it's cringe or hard, or maybe players were not into not pressing W while midair, or it's not appropriate to use yet. Air/Tap strafing is something that some players will have to "race to the bullet" especially if you don't have any Source movement background. This is typical for most people about thinking to themselves "I should press W whether on ground or air." However, for most Source games (including Third-Party Source), when I teach people how to strafe in TF2 for example, I keep telling them not to press W otherwise you'll not airstrafe correctly. Same goes to Apex if you want to air/tap strafe to the point you'll dominate almost the entire lobby. This takes a lot or some efforts to get used to their mechanics. As a side note, the beginning of performing a tap strafe is like setting sv_airaccelerate to 1000.
The best movement I learned in this game was how to move my mouse over the uninstall button, worked very well didn’t have to deal with sweats anymore, highly recommend 👍
Hey guys i am from Greece , i heard a lot of times that ppl outside of Greece tend to use the term "Its sounds greek to me" and this was the first time seeing it in action :p very nice video
I’ve been needing a movement guide for apex for a while, so thank you. Needless to say, moving from Titanfall 2 to apex is PAINFUL! I feel like I move like a snail! Hell, even just SPRINTING feels slower. I haven’t been able to get into apex at all because of how the movement is in comparison.
For the stubborn who refuse to or the unable to bind scroll wheel to forward, you can still get by with manual tap strafing. To make the action easier, I recommend alternating between a forward and sideways input for 3 inputs, starting with your final intended direction. Ex: W>D>W. The execution is not strict, uses two fingers, and you would be surprised how far 3 inputs will take you!
Looks cool and im on controller. I tried doing the zipline trick but I think my interact speed is too slow which sets me off. I already learned wall jumping by accident in season 9 where I (usually) just jump at random walls for some reason and then crouched afterwards. I then tried spam jumping at the wall and finally wall bounced. I was big brain.
Best teacher and best video out there on guide. But please ottr can you explain just only tap strafing in another whole video!! As a fan it's a request
As far as edge boosting, do you do the jump AFTER you've gotten the speed from sliding over the ledge? CUs for some reason, I watched this video when I started playing, maybe a week ago, but I was sliding BEFORE I went over the edge, and my veteran ps4 player was laughing at me, as I wasn't getting any speed at all (at least he said so, but upon watching it myself, I think he was right :P)
ive started on kbm recently and ive noticed if you are moving on kbm and press a or d it slows you down hella unlike controller you can kinda move a lil bit without slowing down any tips?
Actually it probably is with hi passive, if you look at the distance it takes you and compare then wall bouncing on him takes you half the distance it would for other heroes
@@ichiokadrix5132 because in order to tap strafe you need to stack lurches, and the easiest way to get the max amount of lurches is by scroll wheeling up or down
You know what it misses out on? TELLING ME WHAT TO DO WHEN THE REST OF MY TEAM RUSHES AGAINST SOME GUY WITH A SENTINEL STANDING 500 METERS AWAY AND THEIR RUSHING WITH CLOSE RANGE WEAPONS AAAHHHHH
@@loopymomy2532 You can do it, but you need to hit your movement keys in an odd order. I think it's strafe button than back, _then_ you'll go backwards? You can't have your gun out, with your gun out you can only side sideways.
@@colbyboucher6391 So I only figured out how to slide backwards by sliding sideways and then facing back. I can't run foward and then jump backwards and then slide. Like I tried to do it the way the guy was doing it in the video just run jump back and slide immediately but it doesn't work for me...
There is a difference. Aim assist requires no prerequisite skills or talent to pull off, you just aim, and fire. But movement takes dedication discipline and alot of effort to learn and use effectively in game. That is the huge difference. You cant compare aim assist to something this hard to learn.
@@name-ln4zl what. It gives a benefit to everyone, even someone playing a game for the first time in their life... cmon man, its AIM ASSISST as in its assists you in aiming.
how tf do you do the backwards slide to work after the jump redirect? i can slide every direction after the jump except the 3 behind me he did it in the video but there was no keymap for it and thats literally the teq i came to this video for
I’m not home so let me know if this doesn’t work but when doing the redirect into backwards slide you don’t stop at S before sliding but then hit D or A to give yourself a little bit more lurch and build momentum
@@ottr booted into firing range, for some reason when I jump then push a+s+crouch I slide straight left… however I got it figured out by messing with timings, apparently with the reverse directions it’s important to hit the direction(s) input before the jump. You don’t have to to wait for your character to move backwards as there’s quite a few frames of slowdown before you actually move backwards but rather the first frame you slow down at all you can jump and slide that direction perfectly but if you want to slide one of the 3 forward directions it’s a little faster to jump before the input but you don’t go as far so there’s give and take Appreciate the response, it actually helped me approach it from a different angle. loving the content over here in NA man keep killin it.
when a worse movement player explains you how to do movement: nah jk hope itll make more people get better at movement. I always called myself just a good aimer, but now im actually turning more and more into a movement main, its just so much fun to octane q and superglide behind and enemie, seeing how hes not able process whats going on, oh and movement looks sick af ;P

That's actually super helpful for making the movement not feel garbage

Thank you man that point with the sound on the wall jump helpd a lot
Theres a sound que for timing the wall bounce, Learn something new everyday. Thanks ottr!
idk if it's a bug or not but when i do a perfect parallel jump there is no audio and i get a longer wall bounce
Thank you mate! I've played for about 600 hours but still learned a new one from your video. It was hard, but I feel that my skills improved
As someone who focused aim and game knowledge before trying to learn apex movement I really appreciate this guide!

i fucking love you omg

@@fatfetus5937 fun fact: everybody loves it when you say first
not first, and that's ok!
On controller at least I aerial strafe in between slide jumps, so at the peak velocity for the best performance.
On controller is it even considered strafing anymore? Isn’t it jus ya regular slide jump atp
@@spliffsforbreakfast I never see people do the type of slides I do on controller, there's are usually really straight
Thanks for the tips Ottr
The redirect is what I need/use to not suddenly jump off the map😂
amazing guide men!
Many thanks!
Took a 3 or so season break and this plus a couple strafe and aim videos got me feeling like I can get outta plat finally lol
Thank you mate! This vid help me realy good!❤

So much of the air control stems all the way back from GldSrc and Quake.
this realy help me very much keep it up
I don't listen to drill but this is actually fire downloaded it to my mp3
THANK YOU!
thank you for the lesson
My Thanks, Truly.
Can you make an in depth tap strafing guide?
TY FOR THA WALL JUMP
How do you cycle weapons when you use down wheel for jump? What bind do you have?
Just press 1 or 2?
It's like that one warzone guide
lol i get it
@@porterpottysmeller ong
started playing apex after titanfall 2 and gotta say IM NO LONGER SPEED AAAAAAA
very few channels earn my subscribe on the first vid. Greate guide.
I stop playing back in 2019 started playing yesterday only to realise i can't even move and aim properly thanks for the guide
when i tap strafe using my scrol wheel it works in practise macthes but not in a real match?

Jump as scroll wheel is crazy I couldn’t even do that in cs
so glad im a controller player i cannot lurch at all with kb+m i just cant break the muscle memory of holding w lol
Playing DOON ETERNAL really helped to learn these stuff easily, especially bunny hop or ledge boosting or anything related to timing it perfectly
ive started on kbm recently and ive noticed if you are moving on kbm and press a or d it slows you down hella unlike controller you can kinda move a lil bit without slowing down any tips?
coming to apex after 2,000 hours in CSGO and 1,000 hours in Team Fortress 2 feels like a blessing for movement and aim
This will sound like a greek to you
Me being greek:....
😂
Fun fact the thumbnail is from a warzone guide
Was gonna say the same lol
how do you fly with Valkyre on scroll wheel jump keybind?
I guess you don't, and have two binds for jump
Can u make for controller players?
Can u wall bounce as revenant. Coz I can't do it as well as I can on other champions
You can, it works the same, but for some reason it doesn't take you as far. Might be something to do with his passive idk I'm a Bang main
Actually it probably is with hi passive, if you look at the distance it takes you and compare then wall bouncing on him takes you half the distance it would for other heroes
am imortal neon main xD
Dude I never understand why you change your move forward key to scroll wheel, you barely even move so how does it help?
It’s for tap strafing
@@mgabax8719 I get that, how is it useful though?
@@ichiokadrix5132 because in order to tap strafe you need to stack lurches, and the easiest way to get the max amount of lurches is by scroll wheeling up or down
Wait when did apex get a tutorial
D + turning left didn't get that
Time 1:17
Looking where i want to go, will it work ?
nice
what happend to slide hopping from titanfall?
So tap strafe is just spaming jump?
Damn man my finger hurts practicing wall jump
Same lol, I got it down though and am now looking for an excuse to flex it for my friends
I just need to know how to crouch and move right same time.? SMH PC
BIND CROUCH TO LEFT SHIFT MOVE YOUR SHIFT KEYBIND TO CAPSLOCK... oops, there are some downsides I suppose
I know this was uploaded 8 months ago but does legend height affect it at all? I can do wall bounces fine as octane but not as rev
I don't think their heights affect anything, it would be pretty stupid
i heard its not possible to tap strafe on controller, is that true?
The developers make you wait one hour in the lobby ... why is it so hard to just play a game ? Is there a way for not hanging in the lobby forever ?
Yo otter you remember me
watched the whole video 7 times and still cant do nothing but bhop
GGWP
Apex is made in source engine???
Ultimate movement guide for mouse and keyboard, should b the title lol, just saying

Seriously. I _love_ this shit but the way movement works in Apex is way too demanding.

This is why Apex needs to take PC out of the mix and keep it on consoles only.
What?
if you can't play doesn't mean console players are at a disadvantage
This is kinda jus telling people the keys to press and too much information
