@analog trail whats your miyu scores

mental ridge

I probably had nova if I had played it more than a few days

Mnk is depressing cuz I could get Astra and I still wouldn’t come close to the aim of being on controller sad

just watch some dokiww vod or so to understand what different strafing strategies exist

that first clip on octane was nice

analog trail
#

if s1, try sanke or tiger

if s2 try sentient or human

make sure you enter your steam id or prfile url a tthe very top, then uinde rthat oyu can search for specific benches

maybe i should train my typing instead of my aim smh

I mean if you want guaranteed points we'll be playing like pussies

if you dont mind it not going well we can push everyone

if we play for early kp then zone we can probs get like 200-300 per hour

mental ridge

idm not my points xd

apping everything has gotten me results between 2krp in 3 hours and -500 in 3 hours

@analog trail

#

not a terrible start

#

good work

oak veldt
#

thanks peepogrin

#

these are tough

#

a very good challenge for me

#

im just reacting to the ball because i dont understand the scenarios yet

analog trail
#

yeah, they are probably pretty good for overall tracking.

analog trail

#

i swear tunnel track is literally just horizon tac

analog trail

vert tracking is my worst

oak veldt
#

same here

#

arm not used to moving up and down

analog trail
#

wrist aimer moment

oak veldt
#

lmao

#

i think im just very used to playing games with little verticallity

#

like cod and val

#

siege

analog trail
#

i lowkey keep my elbow on my desk the whole time so my shoulder and arm tracking is a bit more unstable than most peoples

oak veldt
#

is it bad that my elbows are usually off my desk

analog trail
#

high sens probably doesn't help that either

analog trail
oak veldt
#

ill try out your playlist and hopefully i improve

analog trail
#

good luck. it wasnt my full playlist tho, i got a few

no worries ill just add what i like to my playlist

it's over for y'all once I reach top 100

#

97% of mnks losing to a no AA roller is sad

novel loom
#

This might be the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen all month

#

Nekosu is really out here flexing smoothness scores on kovaaks. She is setting her sensitivity to speed match the bot so all she has to do is push her thumb stick to full tilt. Completely taking away the purpose of the scenario

empty thistle
#

There is some skill to it but it’s extremely dumb for suave track

#

Like honestly his smooth your wrist extra thin wr on controller is hard af unless he’s giga sens cheesed it

#

nekosu sets top centering scores on controller on sensitivities where you barely move your stick

#

A lot harder than I thought it’d be

#

And it’s great practice for long range recoil

#

When you just go low sens and max your stick to the left / right it’s kinda dumb tho

#

I wish all the aim trainers just had roller leaderboards

novel loom
empty thistle
#

these are my roller and mnk accs

#

I havent done much on roller tbf

#

clearly a big advantage on 180

#

Ah

#

What mousepad were you on before you switched over? @empty thistle

empty thistle
#

Scores were set on a raiden mid and glassworks Zane

novel loom
#

No way I just started using my Raiden mid yesterday for the first time

#

I have been on a hien for like 4-5 years

#

Initial thoughts, Raiden feels so fast compared to my hien. It feels a lot more “free”. My arm doesn’t feels so stuck to the mousepad like on my hien

empty thistle
#

I hated the raiden at first icl

#

It grew on me tho

#

About 50/50 between raiden and hien now tbh

#

I had a bad habit of using excessive tension for my flicks tho

#

How old was your hien

#

You could probably snipe my scores for fun

#

I think you’re like 1 tier better than me at centering unless you’ve improved more since

#

right below me lol

novel loom
# empty thistle How old was your hien

The one I been using was only about a year old. I’ve had a few over the years.

I just wanted something faster, which the Raiden is definitely that. I think my smoothness scores might be cooked on the Raiden we will see today when I log in

you can easily just snipe me back lol @empty thistle

Try the Zane then tell me that lol

If you can use glass it’s a more controlled alternative that’s quite nice

I do get new skates today

#

Never replaced any of my skates before so I’m interested to see how it’ll feel

rose wraith
#

My raiden is quite slow in the middle

#

It’s due for a cleaning

willow hill
#

I can see the appeal for it

#

But right now and my thought process could be wrong on this

#

I think that’s really good for people with solid control in their wrists/fingers

#

And that’s my weakest point right now

#

So idk if that’ll ever fit for me

rose wraith
#

And probably a claw or fingertip grip

willow hill
#

It sucks too because I was excited to have this cool mousepad that made it look like I was gliding my hands and shit

But it just didn’t click.. and comfort > everything

#

It’s the truth twin

#

former MNK players who converted to rollers

#

Gave up and made that decision to swap

empty thistle
#

Aim assist is extremely broken

#

And if you disagree you’re just delusional

wintry cypress
#

I respect it

empty thistle
#

Why practice for 2000 hours on mnk to barely beat average controllers when I can put 100 hours of practice on roller and beat everyone except a few hundred people

wintry cypress
#

Well if youre not playing competitive i see no reason to switch to controller

#

Controller is like the least fun

#

Even if mnk is harder

empty thistle
#

I want to be able to to chall

#

I can’t ego chal on mnk

wintry cypress
#

I can 🥀

#

Just wont always work

empty thistle
#

If it won’t it’s a dumb play

wintry cypress
#

Yea

empty thistle
#

So I can’t ego chal

wintry cypress
#

But my aim is still good enough to the point where half of my playstyle is built around it

#

Like genuinely if my aim is bad ill perform like shit

empty thistle
#

The day I got wolf masters

#

I ego chalked kaydnw 4 times

#

I lost all 4 times

#

Twice by only a bullet but I lost sad

You the goat bro

Ima change my daily message

I mean at high level ill probably still get fucked by a decent roller player, but i dont play at high level so idc

If you’re controller and can’t admit it’s broken.. you’re missing cells

Ty worzel for admitting its OP

I appreciate you

I hope you one clip everyone

And I hope you stumble across a $20

#

Thanks @willow hill 😂

empty thistle
#

But I wanna be able to kill top preds and pros in ranked

And controller gives me that edge if I got good at it

wintry cypress

Highest ill ever reach is masters

bright slate

doesnt give you an edge

#

puts you on even ground

but its just

boring as shit

Shits so trash hearing that lmao

#

My boy legit just makes the swap and can do more

#

Than shit he’s invested so much time into

empty thistle
#

Yep

#

Aim assist is insanely stupid

#

I’m one month in and I can do stuff I could never dream of on mnk

bright slate
#

...

empty thistle
#

Imagine if I put 6 months of practice

#

I like being able to ego chall

#

I spent all my time on kovaaks so one day I could

#

Turns out I can’t

#

So I changed input

#

If there was mnks matching the top rollers on r5 I’d stick to mnk

#

But the distributions don’t overlap

wintry cypress
#

Yeah

bright slate
#

all the mnks

#

on r5 are dogshit though

#

very few fringe cases

wintry cypress
#

If u can match top rollers on mnk ur legit built different

empty thistle
#

Aren’t Pablo and future only hitting like 37% acc

#

Meanwhile best rollers are 43-45

wintry cypress
#

What 😭

lusty vault
#

Only reason that got clipped

empty thistle
#

RAA + train

lusty vault
#

That was 0 stick movement

empty thistle
#

I wish aim assist was 0.1

wintry cypress
#

I thought u actually had to strafe for AA

empty thistle
#

I think the train counted as strafing

#

Roller actually has a big skill gap

#

It’s just aim assist makes the bottom 1% of the curve better than 90% of mnks

lusty vault
#

I can’t play on roller

#

The stress while looting is too much cortisol for me

#

I’ll just be worse overall

#

#

#

Lmao

#

Let’s keep it a buck

#

If you’re not actively constantly on MNK

#

Let’s say took a break for a few days

#

You missing bullets on that train clip

#

Keep it 1000000%

#

You prob killing the dude but you not hitting it that cleanly

#

THATS the problem with the MNK shit

empty thistle
#

Nah the problem is the skill ceiling doesn’t even touch the upper 25% of roller

#

Well attainable ceiling

#

Of aim up close

wintry cypress
#

I feel like hollow actually got close to it tho ngl

empty thistle
#

If I just had to practice everyday I’d be on mnk still

wintry cypress
#

That mf has some crazy aim

lusty vault
#

Rip hollow

empty thistle
#

Roller swap also makes sense for me cuz my irls play warzone and I can play controller on that now

#

Aim will always be important in fps games no matter what anyone tells you

In faster paced games at least

wtf are RC filters?

novel loom
novel loom
empty thistle
#

The whole rc filter thing is such a mess

#

Technically they’re banned but the new sticks can’t even function without one

#

So I guess just the customisation will be removed

#

Respawn should just fix their aa that jitter maxes out aim assist

Very fair and balanced input

I feel like roller is like 2020 mnk when 18k clsi was a top 20 score

novel loom
#

what roller do you have?

#

im thinking i might mess around and buy one of those new fancys ones just to give it a go

#

straight mogging my pleb mnk aim

#

Top 1% mnk accuracy yet doesn’t even touch the median of controller accuracy

empty thistle
#

I’ve been using the gamesir 8k lately

novel loom
#

That’s the one I was looking at getting

empty thistle
#

Used to have a duel sense edge but that shit was too big for my hands and the sticks are awful

novel loom
#

I haven’t played roller since s2

empty thistle
#

I’d say it’s a great roller

#

Way better than my edge atleast

empty thistle
novel loom
#

Tbh I don’t know what a good roller means I’ve only ever used a default Xbox one controller on apex haha

empty thistle
#

Better rollers essentially have higher dpi for the sticks

#

So you can be more precise

#

And there’s less input delay

#

The input delay on normal ones is huge and you can’t be precise cuz the resolution of the sticks is ass

#

But ye unless AA is like 0.1 roller will never be balanced

novel loom
#

Do you feel like your gameplay in game is better now on roller than it was on mnk?

empty thistle
#

Only as of like the past week or two

#

I think the benefit is only apparent once your aim is good enough to reasonably take ego chals in game

#

Otherwise you’re still playing like a mnk just with worse ability to reposition / take angles

#

I was way better at smurfing but in pred lobbies the difference wasn’t noticeable cuz of the trade offs

#

Also working on my static helped a ton

#

The better I get at static the easier I can play fights in game

#

Just looking at them I think the top rollers all have like plat-dia ts / static

novel loom
#

I see. One of my controller friends I used to 1v1 would always mentioned how if he didn’t 1 mag me he would lose because me being on mnk, it’s way easier for me to reacquire the target with the second gun. So I would assume static training would help with that for roller players

empty thistle
#

Ye if mnk changes angles a ton it will shit on most bad rollers

#

Yet the really good rollers are on par with a decent mnk flick wise

#

Cuz aim assist won’t save you if you have shit flicks

novel loom
#

After a full day of trying it on r5, if its not cheating, and genuinely something thats already on controllers that you can now just adjust, it does not matter, it literally feels like I can just never break the AA bubble with it on as long as im somewhat tracking

#

If I understand it correctly, by adjusting the RC filter to negative values it increases jitter/noise of the analog stick thus keep aim assist active. And as pro player clane stated, he just has to track a little bit to always have the target within the AA bubble

final forge
#

I feel like thats bs, to me playing with a low rc filter value feels snappier and closer to mnk.
It's like raw mouse input and mouse smoothing.

#

Aim assist is not stronger but you have way more responsive inputs so it feels better

final forge
novel loom
#

Video demo of RC filters

empty thistle
#

It primarily increases responsiveness by removing aim smoothing

#

Full reduction of aim smoothing created jitter

#

And gamesirs max setting amplifies jitter

#

But honestly I think that makes my aim worse

#

Cuz the cost to smoothness is too high

#

Jitter can create aim assist when there’s no human input

#

But it also fucks your aim when doing micros half the time

#

Rc filter wasn’t intended to create jitter just a side affect on the firebird

#

It was originally made for fighting games to increase responsiveness

#

I think 99% of people don’t understand it and are just talking shit

#

Apparently firebird reached out to algs so help sort it out

#

The whole thing is a mess of understanding cuz algs bans stick filtering

#

But rc filter is the removal of stick filtering

#

So what they mean by banning stick filtering is forcing aim smoothing filtering on everyone

#

But I’m doubtful the jitter is even helpful it’s the responsiveness that is the buff

novel loom
#

Gamesir just pushed out an update on their firmware to remove stick filtering

empty thistle
#

My best raw smoothness scores are with rc -8

final forge
empty thistle
#

So it gets bad pr

#

Ideal rc filter is as much as possible before it gets jitter imo

#

The jitter is a bad side affect not cheats

#

Just get Marius board and you can have same affect without rc filter

#

Cuz I think his sticks don’t filter and don’t have noise

#

The huge buff everyone’s experiencing I think is that aim smoothing cucks your micros by filtering them out

final forge
final forge
#

The other way was almost the same whe i first enabled stick filtering I could barely tell the diffrence, it felt snappy but that was it. Now going back feels like a slap in the face

empty thistle
#

I'm probably gonna keep using it until a consensus is more firmly established

#

I prefer it in aimlabs so I really don;t think its some extra aim asssist bs

final forge
#

As long as you are not playing in an official tournament under the algs regulations it's fine

empty thistle
#

caffine was banned in the olympus for years, organisers dont always get bans right

final forge
#

The ban defenitely feels like they jumped the gun. I have 5 Gamesir controllers and they all have different amounts of stick jitter per default some even have none at all (probably due to agressive rc filtering). So what if I just buy a low quality controller with massive stick jitter Shrugging

empty thistle
#

easier to just ban it eary then reassess once they understand it better tbf

#

I'd hope it gets unbanned in a month or two when it gets better understood

#

cuz their current rules even bans the duelsense edge technically

The same thing was said about controller overclocking and some weeks later they partnered with battlebeaver and allowed their "official" overclocking tool.

empty thistle
#

battlebeaver were so quick to call it cheats cuz they didnt have one lol

rose wraith
#

What if a controller just has less smoothing baked in and it’s only sold one way with no firmware

#

👍

empty thistle
#

even changing deadzone outside of apex lol

rose wraith
#

Respawn might as well remove 0 dead zone from the game if they’re going to get mad at the filter stuff

#

I don’t blame a single roller for not wanting to play in jello

#

Unlucky side effect their aim assist configuration is designed to engage when small adjustments occur constantly

empty thistle
#

road to top 100 with jitter on lol

rose wraith
#

The filter on reminds me of how TVs will add effects to your show but it makes your game laggy

#

Less filter just sounds like turning off triple buffering or enabling game mode

#

Where you get more screen tearing but it’s more responsive

final forge
rose wraith
#

Ya I think the fast panic response from respawn is not good tbh

#

This is a serious way forward for roller players who want to actually aim with the stick

final forge
rose wraith
#

And instantly shitting on it will make the long term drama messy

rose wraith
#

But also

#

More responsive inputs = 0 ms response aim assist is even stronger

#

Since arguably it’s there to compensate for the stick being so shit

final forge
#

But when aiming you always have a stick input anyway so it's not relevant

rose wraith
#

If .3 AA is there so you can play through the laggy input of roller what happens when the roller is as responsive as the mouse?

#

In a way it’s probably very similar to ximming

#

AA is tuned around roller being full of high input latency from the filter and low polling rate of popular OEM controllers

#

Don’t get me wrong their kneejerk response is dumb

final forge
rose wraith
#

And probably harmful for pushing controller skill forward

#

Either way

#

Respawn should have just put out a temporary statement and temporary restriction

empty thistle
#

id rather have rc and nerf aa

rose wraith
#

While the situation develops

final forge
rose wraith
#

AA was needed in the era of laggy tv

#

And 60hz lock screens

#

But now controllers are responsive like modern mice

#

That’s why I think respawn is handling this bad

#

Lowering the filter = turning on game mode on your tv

#

Now

#

Magnifying the jitter with negative filter?

#

Sure ok

empty thistle
#

I think theoretically gm tracking is possible on the new controllers

rose wraith
#

That can be considered cheating sure

empty thistle
#

And at that point aim assist is super dumb

rose wraith
#

But just no filter should be fine

empty thistle
#

I’m around low jade after a month

#

Imagine 2 years of training daily

final forge
#

I tried 0 rotational aim assist, so basically only aim slow vs a friend in r5 and that was still totally fine. Maybe even still better than mnk in some ways

rose wraith
#

That’s what I think the direction should be

#

But it’s an impossible decision

#

Respawn’s casual base is kids and dads playing on Xbox or ps5

#

On OEM controllers

#

It just sucks that default controllers are so terrible that you can’t make them feel fun without making a real controller heinously OP

#

Reminds me of the first time I saw notches on a GCC for smash melee

empty thistle
#

Controller is very good at tracking it just is worse at flicks hence reactive being harder

rose wraith
#

Consistent execution of something that was controller lottery before

empty thistle
#

But I don’t think mouse has that much of an advantage with no aa on modern rollers

#

Did you see my duel track vod @rose wraith

rose wraith
#

No

#

Sounds like it’s just a vod of a decent run on a controller

#

I don’t see the need to watch it low key

#

I believe you when you say you can score diamond or jade on roller

#

Especially if it’s actually responsive like a mouse with filtering off

empty thistle
#

People misunderstand the rc so hard

#

People saying the jitter buffs close range

#

But it’s just reactivity is easier with more responsiveness

#

There’s no recoil to jitter out

#

And your ass better not be not moving either stick when someone’s 2m in your face

rose wraith
#

That was my impression too

#

Just less lag

#

More responsive tracking

#

What this really says is that filtering just sucks

#

I wonder how much latency it adds?

final forge
rose wraith
#

Recoil smoothing only smooths vertical

#

You still have the weapon’s horizontal recoil

#

Jitter aim just flattens the pattern

#

It still needs to be compensated for

final forge
# rose wraith Jitter aim just flattens the pattern

if done properly pretty much all recoil gets removed
but the comparison is so bad, a jitter macro only works because it's only active when shooting, if it would be always active you could not aim for shit especially when not ads'ing or just looting

rose wraith
#

It’s def something that works

#

Just a hassle without the macro

#

More importantly, overly cumbersome when all the other game systems + tracking a real player get involved

#

It’s marginally useful for groupings

tight totem
#

i mean u dont have to jitter when tracking bcs u get zero recoil while tracking anyways

polar iris
#

anyone wanna play apex?

#

i am gold 4

#

and i like playing alter

empty thistle
#

new control tracking pr

#

avg mnk is so bad lol

polar iris
#

what does that mean

final forge
rose wraith
#

Makes you wonder how small the gap between inputs actually is for most tasks

#

And whether AA might only need to be like .1 or even less

#

But then you’ve forced casuals to spend 70 bucks on new hardware just to keep playin the same game

#

They’ll quit

#

Loss of income

#

I would be a coward in my response too if I were respawn

willow hill

yo wayyyy too much yap

without me saying the key words

if you're on roller you're soft

I'm surprised controllers weren't already responsive

What latency did they use to have and what are they at now?

final forge

wonder why they have so much

yeah the g7 pro 8k has 0.5

pale scroll

do controllers use 2.4ghz or bluetooth?

empty thistle

do they have dongles?

Pc high diamond is around console zenith

empty thistle
pale scroll

so

#

im prepping for it

#

what is aimlabs zenith in voltaic?

#

I'm assuming around nova?

empty thistle
#

No clue

#

I heard masters is Jade

#

My goal is to go for top 100 on all the intermediate scenarios then go for advanced

final forge
empty thistle
#

So what I’m hearing is I just need like 3500 and I gap majority of mnks before the aa even kicks in

empty thistle
#

crazyyy

#

How are you even supposed to compete as mnk

#

When aa makes the average player better than 99%

#

And good rollers can legit be like top 0.5% without the assistance

pale scroll
empty thistle
#

Like yes bro

#

Just become a top 1% mnk

#

To go even with roller

#

Without the aim assist

#

😂😂😂

#

The questions remains

#

Is tracking actually easier on roller than mnk

#

Or are my mnk fundamentals just giga carrying

#

Cuz top 1% raw input scores with a month on the input

#

Pretty crazy

#

All depends how much being a top 500 ground player on mnk and maybe similar for raw smoothness is in helping me learn the input

pale scroll
#

how do you know you're t500 for ground in general, not for specific scenarios?

empty thistle
#

I’m generalising

#

For specific scenarios im top 200-500 on ones I grind

#

And I’m top 300 jade palace ground

pale scroll
#

low rank

#

im higher than that 💀

#

im just ass at strafe ig

#

locking in on strafe scenarios now

empty thistle
#

What’s your jade palace ground rank?

empty thistle
#

Your strafe is horrible wtf 😭

pale scroll
empty thistle
#

How are you not Mogging my score

empty thistle
#

Can’t say low rank just cuz you’re ranked 136th 😂

pale scroll
#

u can't stop me 💪

empty thistle
#

And your scores are barely better than the ones I played

#

By like 20 energy 🥲

empty thistle
#

Either way

#

I think it’s fair to say about half of good ground players probably play jade palace

#

So just double that ranking and it’s a fair estimate

pale scroll
#

I'm not even vrt pilled

empty thistle
#

Ground is all tech and reading

#

If you have good tech you can just score farm

pale scroll
#

clearly not at all

#

since mine is so bad 😭

empty thistle
#

Okay mr nova cfsi

pale scroll
#

I just technique farm

empty thistle
#

“I can’t read or react yet I’m nova in fast strafes”

#

Pick one buddy

pale scroll
#

I can't read

empty thistle
#

Keep in mind there’s like 150k plays on clsi

#

And likes 1000 are 18k

#

There’s very few good ground players

pale scroll
#

never considered that

#

but basically my take on reading/reacting is

empty thistle
#

Maybe your reading is trash

pale scroll
#

ground is easy to read

#

left and right

#

especially stuff like cfsi easy

empty thistle
#

Cuz if you had good reading your duel track would be way higher

pale scroll
#

mechanically I'm good enough to get 60-70% accuracy on this

#

the bot isn't moving that evasively

empty thistle
#

Like barely beating my scores when on roller I’m not even jade technique

pale scroll
#

and idk how to improve it 😭

#

cause clearly playing the reading jpg scenarios did nothing for me

empty thistle
#

The less you can move the mouse the better

#

Let the bot walk through your crosshair

#

Mca-8 auto fast strafes

#

Go get a good score on that praydge

pale scroll
empty thistle
#

Ye

#

I have an 80% version made too if you wanna start easy

bright slate

play a good ground scene if you want more reading

pale scroll

#

and none of them have helped

bright slate
#

vgs is chill

pale scroll
#

ty yall. will try those

empty thistle
#

How is your air

pale scroll
bright slate
#

💔

empty thistle
#

I think you don’t know how to underaim maybe

#

No clue how else you can suck at it with your reactive and pat strafe

pale scroll
empty thistle
#

Idk man

#

Shits a mystery then

bright slate
#

try something with longer stafes

#

and focus on the underaim part

#

perhaps

pale scroll
#

true I don't underaim at all

bright slate
#

i tend to just aim center in game

pale scroll
#

that's hard tho

#

if I could do that I'd be nova complete w/ astra scores

#

requires hella precise flicks and tracking to do that

bright slate
#

flicks arent presice

#

i just go back to center afterwards

pale scroll
#

wdym?

#

underaiming is not edge tracking?

empty thistle
#

On mnk I flick onto leading edge or middle (aim for inbetween) then let bot walk through my crosshair into an edge track

pale scroll
#

lots of finger use in my flicks, starting centering doesn't require that level of separation

bright slate
#

does this kinda make sense

empty thistle
#

I do if cuz it makes the smooth edge track after easier

bright slate
#

my flicks just suck

#

so i tend to overflick

#

after i will micro back into centermass

pale scroll
#

like I do that too sometimes, but that's clearly overflicking

empty thistle
#

If you flick on trailing edge accidentally it’s much harder to get an instant smooth speed match

bright slate
#

never said that.

#

not underaiming.

#

how i aim when i track

empty thistle
#

Watching top rollers can help you understand it I think

#

They let the aim assist and under aiming do most of the work

#

It’s how I understood the concept at first anyway

pale scroll
bright slate
#

under aiming is just keeping to the inside edge from what i understand

empty thistle
#

As far as I know

#

Mca-8 auto fast strafes is the best under aiming scenario

#

You can farm that scenario without even moving your mouse

bright slate
#

right

#

you gain acc% on the strafes into your crosshair

#

and you just speedmatch if it doesnt strafe

pale scroll
#

idk if this is a good score but reading it wasn't hard tbh

#

how can I be good at this but suck at duel track 😭

empty thistle
#

1000 runs of duel track for you

bright slate
#

bot 1 is the reading one

#

idk

#

i play on 75fps

#

shit panel

#

so its hard

#

it wobbles wide before making the switch

#

or just got on the lddh grind

polar iris
#

Wtf

mental ridge
#

what's yalls oppinion on bot 2 in cfsi

polar iris
#

Isn't it only one bot

pale scroll
lament osprey
pale scroll
#

but I'll take a look at that later

pale scroll
#

I would stop completely after flicking on the faster bots (around the 8k+ score mark) and not continue the track

#

and wasn't able to control it well enough to not lose all momentum, but just slow down to speed match, so that's what I'll be focusing on for now ig

empty thistle

something for u to work on ig

mca8 supposed to be one of the best apex scens
