Aim slowing down

[mighty whale]

Hey i have a question, i feel like when i flick i dont do a flick then a micro correction but more like i just slow down more and more the closer i get to the target its not slow it feels alright but is it a bad habit?

[mighty whale]

i dont think so because of the pressure i feel like im not deliberate with my shots most of the time

[wooden cliff]

"its not slow it feels alright"
u hit 76 targets in a minute

u are very very slow

[keen spire]

This is way too smooth and slow for the initial flick.
Work on a faster initial flick (land on target or underflick) and take your time with the micro correction

Also you would never aim like that in any game.

[dapper citrus]

Thats a good way to approach it indeed, but try to decelerate later in the flick

Oh people already answered lol

Whats ur sens?

If its very high might be good to change at least for static, but u have to be faster overall

The technique can and should be applied but at higher speed(snappiness of initial flick)

[wooden cliff]

where is this deceleration advice coming from?
who does that?

[dapper citrus]

Any good aimer to a degree i imagine

U dont?

[wooden cliff]

no

[dapper citrus]

So far ive heard /seen minigod, cartoon, woohoojin and maybe matty say/do it

Ofc i see other players doing it

[wooden cliff]

mattyow dosent do that

[dapper citrus]

U might’ve misunderstood my advice

[wooden cliff]

neither does bulldog

im literally watching their vods at 0.25x speed

they just stop

[dapper citrus]

They do on a high level im pretty sure, that stopping is not 100 speed to 0

[wooden cliff]

the entire initial flick is at 1 speed

[dapper citrus]

Well it is, but they do the deceleration quick so it might seems like it

We cant physically immediately stop anyway

[wooden cliff]

im literally watching it at 60 fps on 0.25x speed

u would be able to see it

[dapper citrus]

Theres always deceleration to a degree

They have higher fps than that :nerdemoji:

[wooden cliff]

if not a single frame captures it on 60fps how fast are they doing it?

[dapper citrus]

Better than almost any human i imagine

[wooden cliff]

lol

[dapper citrus]

They are the best for a readon

The decel is the stopping u see

U said they just stop

But they do it smoothly in a stable manner

Thats peak form

[wooden cliff]

what i am trying to say is that they dont slow down during their initial flick

[dapper citrus]

The end of it i believe is high level quick smoothness applied stopping + initial flick distance and power calculation helping to reduce general margin of error

Ask them if u want

[wooden cliff]

you are right

i just asked juicerqt

huh

i guess ive been doing static wrong the whole time lol

[dapper citrus]

U found a way to improve, some will consider u lucky ^^

[wooden cliff]

maybe i finally hit gm on 1w3ts now

[dapper citrus]

the gm dream, stuck on 20 energy for too long

[mighty whale]

do you have a vod a u doing static im curious to see how you do i because it looks hard to break down on god tier aimers

and thanks everyone for the feedback

[mighty whale]

why should i try to underflick more than overflick?

[mighty whale]

45.61 cm/360

[wooden cliff]

having to double back takes longer

[dapper citrus]

U can search my plays on aimlab leaderboard, after u finish a static task from the benchmarks, type in n the search “chasingskyz”

Quick note some tasks i stopped doing long time ago so they arent that updated

U can also look at the performance of people who have slightly better score than u, to see how they did it( how they differ from urs)

[mighty whale]

ok ok thanks

[mighty whale]

what do you think about this video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6D5EbHt9wM

[dapper citrus]

Very good

I know that one and recommend it

[mighty whale]

ok

[mighty whale]

do you know snowi

[cursive osprey]

I was gonna say this a good habit to have but ksyyZ already said that lol.
Just bring up the initial speed of your flick. Play pokeball to practice your flicks

[dapper citrus]

That vid by matty is good too 😄

[mighty whale]

ok ok ahah

[severe jackal]

Although the conversation was already over, I personally want to recommend you Minigod's VODs. I feel like that his VODs show the deceleration part the best, although it still all happens quickly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbBbvOFLaEw

In here for example.

Quite interesting honestly to see how smooth it can work

[wooden cliff]

i dont see any delecration

even on 0.25 speed

[severe jackal]

It happens right before he gets on target. It is quite fast. It is not that much of a "hard stop" compared to people like BardOz

[wooden cliff]

thats just him underflicking tho

[severe jackal]

It is weird to me you don't see him decelerate. I am watching on 0.25x and quite often he is going from peak-speed to reducing his speed a bit until he stops. Yes, there are some hard-stops, but not always.

Plenty of his motions are much smoother, or his speed is more in an "arc" (if that makes sense) rather than 100-0 in a blink.

[dapper citrus]

My trained eye can see it👁️

[wooden cliff]

i dont know i dont see it

[severe jackal]

Ah well. Just wanted to share it anyway.

[wooden cliff]

i feel now im just placebo-ing myself to see it lol

[severe jackal]

😂 lets end the convo here then for the sake of it lmao

[mighty whale]

i feel like i can do both, fast flicks and micro correction or or the slowing down but the fast flicks are faster for me right now because i lack of traning in slowing down but i dont know if i tryhard one or the other if its going to make it harder for me to do my second choice and if ill have to ''relearn'' to do it well and i dont know if one is better for me

and i play valorant btw

[severe jackal]

Just focus on fast flick and smooth/slower micros and it will be fine. You don't have to fully relearn your technique

[mighty whale]

so like i shouldnt overthink it and kind of do both?

[severe jackal]

Don't overthink it no. Focus on the task, focus on keeping your flicks fast and taking time with your target confirmation and slowly speed up over time. If you feel like something is wrong with your technique, feel free to post a vod in #1153030249198669884

[mighty whale]

ok ok thanks

[mighty whale]

yo, should i take an extra moment to know i am on taget even tho im pretty sure i am and 90% or more of the time its true

[severe jackal]

If you are already sure you are on target, there is no point on taking even more time confirming and should just take the shot. When referring to "making slower/smoother micros", it is just to make sure that you aren't rushing your micros too much where you struggle to do target confirmation.

[mighty whale]

ok

[mighty whale]

could you elaborate on target confirmation?

[severe jackal]

Target confirmation is basically: "Is my crosshair on the dot?"
