VT Bounceshot Intermediate - 660 Score Help

[golden kestrel]

Was playing the benchmark at the end of the VDIM last night and struggled so much, I hit it but am not satisfied with my technique nor the way I aimed.

I watched Matty, the videos, etc etc, and just couldn't truly grasp the technique. I played the barrier bounce 180 and did generally well (above the median).

Watching it over, I think I am getting panicky, maybe rushing sometimes. I think I am tracking a little too long rather than tracking for a little bit and then leading to get the hit.

I dont mind if you're harsh, I will take any feedback, even if it means dialing it back and going to Novice VDIM for this.

also im running 52cm/360

i run 85cm/360 on static, any higher sens than 52 and my aim starts to noticeably get shaky if that helps.

I am not that good but what I can see is u almost spam clicking at some point, there was a time where u waited to be on the target but when u started missing your first shots u tend to hit several time for each bot and ur pov feels a way shakier.

I don't have precise advice since they might be wrong but u could try to play on a slower pace and focus on accuracy before gradually increase speed.

For the technique, I hope someone better than me can answer u ^^

@golden kestrel stop clicking at bots more than once. One click per bot then move on.

It seems like you’re struggling to click bots when you go for attempts while they are rising and falling.

Try this scenario to see if it helps:

B180 Voltaic Glass Top

It has a weapon clip on it so you can’t shoot bots at the top of the bounce

[golden kestrel]

okay one click per bot, i think the scenario where it was 3 click to get one kill put the idea that i should shoot at a bot multiple times, ill add the glass top as well to the playlist

[golden kestrel]

timestap perhaps :D

[sonic portal]

While that is understandable, it is not good technique and I encourage you to stop doing it on this scenario.

[golden kestrel]

yessir ill stop using that scenario overall, it helps with tracking the bot but not good for long runs.

ill restrict myself to one shot per bot and to switch if i miss, itll be a hard habit to break but i think i can definitely do it thank you!!

[placid pewter]

It didn't break, it's a feature :^)

Implement a artificial difficulty measure to inflict pain on bad habits; restart the scenario every time you click at a bot twice

Your brain does a good job at responding to pain

You can bind restart to spacebar to make this process easier to do quickly

[golden kestrel]

okie that shouldnt be too hard, ive been falling bard rules on static, restart if i miss 4, so this shouldnt be too hard to implement

Whenever we learn a new skill, our performance might suffer, so don’t worry about pushing for a new high score until you have subconsciously transitioned to this new behavior.
