Tracking help.

[haughty nacelle]

Hello everyone, Can somebody pin point my mistakes? I started to average around 3500 my max is 3756. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

It seems like your aim is a little shaky so I would recommend trying to lower your tension usage in your wrist and fingertips. Also you seem to lag behind the bot when it makes long strafes which is a sign that you are over relying on predictions. Try to work on reading the bot's acceleration when it makes its strafes and trust the bot's motion.

[haughty nacelle]

Can you explain more how I should read bot's movement and trust bot's motion. I recently watched Matty's video about speed matching and it helped improve my scores because I noticed I fall off the target because I don't speed match it properly and don't manage my tension in a way that I change it in one bot's strafe.

[stiff sky]

i think youre taking too long to react to when you are off target, you keep speedmatching while you arent on the target and thats where most of your score was lost

[haughty nacelle]

How can I fix that?

[stiff sky]

i have no clue but thats just where i noticed you were losing the most score sorry

[haughty nacelle]

Thanks anyway.

[haughty nacelle]

Tried to react faster almost hit my pb.

[stiff sky]

good stuff man, but you know what im talking about right? just to make sure

like the moments where youre tracking it but at the right speed while being behind it, it looked like you didnt notice you werent on target for a second or two

[haughty nacelle]

Yeah, I got that. That I speed match properly but I'm not even on target.

[stiff sky]

you got this man

[haughty nacelle]

Honestly, I was working yesterday at speed matching and getting confirmation that I do it properly. I'm glad.

[haughty nacelle]

But I just think jade is my max in terms of aim training. But thank you nonetheless for tips.

[stiff sky]

nah thats at least gm potential tbh

[haughty nacelle]

Doubt that. I suck at static and only got jade and masters scores due to grinding the benchmarks. I'm just glad that in 2 months of aim training starting from silver/gold I ended up in jade somehow.

[stiff sky]

meant in that specific scen idk about the rest tbh but yh i think you can get better scores with time, youre improving already so you know youre on the right track

[haughty nacelle]

New pb xd. But I still think like getting jade was miracle and my max.

[stiff sky]

good stuff though

[haughty nacelle]

Thanks. Who knows I said gold complete was max and here we are. Maybe someday with luck and miracles I will get master but highly doubt it. Thank again for tips and encouragment.

[haughty nacelle]

New barrier reached xd.

[stiff sky]

getting there

[haughty nacelle]

Ahhh so close

[stiff sky]

told you its doable though

even if you dont get it today you got it in the next few days

[severe fractal]

You have some massive self doubt issues bro, and its 100% limiting you. The fact that you thought you were stuck at gold and are now at Jade with some Masters scores, in a really small time frame, should already completely destroy the notion that you are already at your limit. also being only 2 months into aim training I would bet my life savings that you aren't even close to your limit lmfao. its like saying that 2 months into going to the gym you wont get any stronger or grow in size anymore.

[haughty nacelle]

I did it somehow. I grinded hell out of this task. Damn. Miracle and luck. Pinky finger hurts like hell.

[haughty nacelle]

2/3 months of aim training. I just don't fell it man. I only achieve bigger scores after grinding hell out benchmarks. I don't fell like I'm actually improving.

[stiff sky]

congrats man :D

but i do agree you doubt yourself too much

WAIT

does that say youve been playing this same scen for 2 hours and 35 mins? 😭

[haughty nacelle]

Like 1.5h

[severe fractal]

Whether you grind the benchmark itself or a adjacent does scen doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that you got your goal and you should be proud of that. Lock in bro, keep pushing. I promise you getting master is way way way closer than you think.

Just make sure you also take the time to improve, just straight pushing for benchmarks or a score can be fun, but in the long run taking the time, and just doing sessions only focusing on specific details you want to improve on rather than pushing for scores will do wonders.

[stiff sky]

he just got master with that last screenshot btw

but yh youre right

[haughty nacelle]

I only grind benchmarks when I'm feeling that I can achieve higher score, mostly I do VDIM. I do it like it if I surprass my highest score on task I skip rest of repetition. I play full repetition of benchmarks.

[severe fractal]

ah right I only quickly looked through his sheet, but yeah point still stands.

[haughty nacelle]

Yeah I came back after like 1 week break

[severe fractal]

Thats good. make sure you don't burn yourself out with routines and playlists, I can speak for me and a lot of others that doing routines over and over again can get mind numbing and stop improvement because you start autopiloting, make sure you keep it fun, play scens you like along side focusing on weaknesses.

[haughty nacelle]

Yeah I'm trying to differentiate sometimes I play vdim, some times weakness specific routines. Sometimes even random tasks that seem fun. I got burned a little I even asked people here is it fatigue post and if I should break. I'm still amazed and surprised that I got masters in tracking task, but mostly self doubt is coming from the fact that I won't be able replicate this high score probably never again.

[humble zodiac]

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

[severe fractal]

What makes you say that bro. Everyone has bad days everyone has good days, fuck I've had entire weeks that have felt good or bad everyone does. but I'm 1000% sure that your capable of getting that score again and even higher, otherwise how would you have gotten it today. And when going after absolute peaks like in benchmarks, sure sometimes you get a lucky run, and sometimes you aim insanely well for a run and you don't get a new pb because you got some unlucky patterns, it all happens to everyone but over time there is zero, absolutely ZERO reason, you won't be able to get a better score than what you did today. You should be happy. You achieved the goal you set today of getting that master score. Tomorrow is a whole new day, of good runs, bad runs, lucky runs, unlucky runs, etc.. it all happens in aim training or any other Esport, normal sport, or just about anything in life. The only thing that matters is generally having fun doing it and consistently focusing on your weaknesses. And you will improve.

[haughty nacelle]

I get your point, but it comes from that I needed to grind 1.5h just to get this score. But your speech really improved my mood in terms of aim training or general. Like I said I started in silver/gold not even imaging getting higher than gold. After grinding doing vdims etc I achieved jade. If there weren't ranks and curiosity when I can end up I wouldn't probably bother. It feels like I hit my max in terms of aim training but today's score shows maybe I'm mistaken. Again thank you for words of encouragement. I hope you are right and I can go higher in terms of scores. Time will tell.

[severe fractal]

Anyone that really cares about their benchmark scores has done one, two, three hour long sessions to get a score they really wanted, maybe even more sessions like that across multiple days. you cant write off a score because it took you some time to get it. I have full confidence that if you don't sabotage yourself by saying things like "oh it doesn't even matter if I even try because I wont be able to get the score anyway" You will improve, and will set far better scores than you have right now.

Believe in yourself bro, you got this shit.

[haughty nacelle]

Let's hope so. Time will tell. Thank you again for words of encouragement and support.

[severe fractal]

No worries 👍

[haughty nacelle]

Thx to your words I tried another benchmark and wouldn't you know in VT Aether Intermediate S5 from 2999 to 3096 like in first try. Didn't grind it though. Thx again man.

[haughty nacelle]

Little update! Since Friday 4 masters scores in tracking. Thanks again for words of encourangment. As you and pineapple said I tried to get better scores.

[severe fractal]

Good shit bro!!

[haughty nacelle]

Update! I achieved master.

[sick solstice]

idk if u still need help on this but ur control tracking technique is pretty decent it just looks like a raw smoothness issue
