This is the long-awaited FINAL mechanic in our aim series, and it's the most difficult mechanic of them all - reactive tracking. This is by far the most complex video I've made, and I collaborated with one of the best reactive trackers (CEIBA) to make this the absolute best it can be.

Loved the vid, it truly was an excellent finale to this godsend of a series. Question - could you go into a bit of depth as to what makes a close scen different from a mid/far scen? As in, how does our perception of the bot's apparent distance from the player seem to make it more (or less) challenging to read, and tips to improve in close scens? (I struggle with close bots in air much much more than the far bots, for ex., despite having appropriate mouse space and being comfortable with arm movements)

i will say that these are on the difficult side but that's on purpose because I (and a lot of aim pros who are actually pros) believe that learning reactivity requires that you push yourself on difficulty. Limiting the intense scens to 7-30mins gives you a method to incrementally improve while still pushing yourself on difficulty.

@@pradhyumnsoni9565 Hey super late coming back to this but after having improved a lot and learned to work with the ADHD, if you are struggling to focus on the bot, allow yourself to unfocus partially, to where your eyes follow the target subconsciously. Imagine looking up at a ceiling fan, if you are looking at it with full focus, you will see the fan spinning as a blur, but when you partially unfocus and let your eyes do track and focus on one blade, you can track it smoothly and see the motion without blur.

I just finished up the bronze reactive voltaic benchmarks on Aimlabs, and seeing you primarily focus on Kovaaks for a lot of the tasks in your videos makes me want to switch to Kovaaks to improve moving forward. I am having so much fun grinding for benchmarks and watching these videos for tips and explanations, way more fun than I would have playing the game I originally started aim training for. Your videos are so information dense and detailed that I find myself watching them, grinding the benchmarks, and then watching it again and gaining a whole new understanding of what you said. Doubtless I will be watching this video plenty in the coming weeks. Thank you so much for releasing these videos!

A good friend of mine Cineris which you may also know as eeriee cold, has pretty much same aim technique as mbm, he's tensed and snappy, but bcs he's constantly working on health of his wrist, he doesn't have any problems, also listening to your body is crucial, you need to take rest, when your body tells you. You need tension, to a point where this tension will just become a normal muscle condition, just try some smooth target, with some tension, find a range from relax to uncontrollable shakynes, and take the middle, you can go down, but don't really go up, only if it needed.

How do you adjust to velocity when it feels like as soon as you touch the bot it immediately switches and it feels like a constant game of catchup. It almost makes you want to predict the movement vs follow it because if you adjust to quickly you overshoot and the minute you correct it feels like it changes course. For example, in your play list you have unpredictable strafes or pasu tracked adhd kid fixed?

appreciate it! i think it depends on the person of course but it's a combo of things, the main one being that once you get a solid foundation in static improvements really come in small doses as you whittle away at minor errors you're making. and my opinion is focusing on those doesn't have as direct tangible benefit to aim in fps games, so you have to be willing to go through that process to mostly get high scores in static scens only

When you guys are in tracking scenarios how relaxed do you keep you’re shoulder? I have been working on posture but I think my problem is understanding the mechanics of tracking with my arm, I feel like I shrug my shoulder just a tiny bit to kind of get that smoother track but I’m staying in contact with the desk regardless but is this bad technique? Should I just be keep my arm flat against the table and like pushing down and dragging my arm instead? I think I started doing it naturally the way I do now bc of how much the friction on the mouse pad messes with how smooth my tracking is but please if anyone has any info let me know, I would be stupid to keep training this way if it is bad technique 😐

thought i answered this, i would try to get into xy and then xyz scens as soon as possible. depending on your skill level like if you're beginner the point of X or Y is to give you a place to start without being overwhelmed. reactivity is very difficult for most and they tend to avoid it because of that but it's absolutely the wrong thing to do

If your ocular VRT is not really that fast, for instance I think as I have gotten older it got slower. Then I think edge tracking is a good idea, and when you add in your own strafing it makes it significantly more steady to aim. Probably in faster paced reactive shooters like Quake Live where your very own movement is fast, edge tracking would be best. In other words, reduce the amount of mouse movement needed to hit. Have the crosshair more centered between the strafes to expect a player to strafe back into it. Think actively to under aim, or basically just move your crosshair 2\4 to 3\4 the length the target is ADAD strafing. It might be different in games with slower movement, I haven't really played anything but Quake and Unreal Tournament. It is very possible that in modern games like CSGO\Valorant games that require higher precision and have slower movement, you need to be able to track precisely the ADAD strafes so maybe experiment with 3\4 and 4\4 length. Apex Legends may be more like Quake, needing you to sort of undertrack again. Player movement is excessive in Quake, it can be used to make it really difficult to know when to undertrack and simply smooth track. And so I guess a question for @RiddBTW is this: 'how do you transition from edgetracking\undertracking to smooth tracking when targets ADAD fast or jiggle, and then begin to smooth out again?' And maybe another question, I have an enormous amount of trouble in Quake Live hitting players that spam ADAD really really fast, not so fast that they just jiggle in place but they make it hard to edge track. What could I do to manage this? There seems to be a scenario where people jiggle and then reposition and jiggle.

I'm a bit confused about the mention of "underflicking". I was actively avoiding the feeling of the "flick" that I get when I'm in static/TS/dynamic due to working on the acceleration/deceleration concept. Don't I want to avoid setting up micro corrections in tracking scenarios, or is that also a valid way of approaching them?

For Questions: How to know when a reactivity scenario is too hard. I've heard that new players shouldn't start with cfsi because its to difficult and they train bad habbits instead. Also Arena shooter - RIP TT Edit: I also want to add that i would also watch "easy" videos on your channel, like simple short stuff like how to play popcorn for beginners. Just because you have proven to have good knowledge on how training motor skills, neuro plasticity and such things work i would trust you more than other channels. It feels like if i search for "how to popcorn" i find alot of one simple trick videos or something that trick me into higher scores but to nothing for my training.

Thanks for the smoothness tip. It's very true. When I train reactivity my smoothness suffers and when I try to play smoothness scenarios it takes a bunch of tries to bring it back from under the stress of reactivity scenarios. Good thing is it doesn't go away, it's there. What I disagree with is the advice on playing insanely difficult scenarios. From what I know and my own experience if your training consists in confusion and error that's all that you are gonna reap: confusion and error. Also where does this method ever apply and work? When you are trying to learn a new skill and then improve on it you first learn the basics, the foundation. And then you keep building on that foundation, learning how the basics integrate into the more advanced stuff and that's progress. But when you try to do the advanced stuff without first understanding the basics, without being proficient at them, how can you hope to progress? Not only progress will be hindered but bad habits will be formed because you imply you should play scenarios far out of your capabilities and that means confusion and error that will undoubtedly lead to tension and frustration. Even if you are intermediate and have a decent understanding of basics doing insanely difficult scenarios is completely pointless, a waste of time, and could be potentially detrimental to progress. In osu! for example the eternally hardstuck players are the ones that instead of playing the difficulty they should be playing are playing maps far above their skill level thus never developing proper technique and understanding. They barely pass these maps and consider it a great feat but it's not. Same in Kovaaks, barely hitting the bot in these insane scenarios is not a great feat and will not lead to developing the fine skills required to perform the task since you don't even know what's going so you are bound to practice in confusion and error. I would even go as far as saying that it's much more beneficial to practice tasks far below your level than far above it. Why? Because it will teach you proper technique, and because mastering something is hard even if it's something easy and working on the basics is never a waste of time because everything else is built on them. When you build a house you don't start by the roof. Thinking that the greater the stress the greater the adaptation is foolish regarding fine motor skills. Imagine someone trying to learn to play a difficult song on the guitar. Do they strat fast or slow? What happens if they base around their practice around trying to play the difficult song at it's normal speed? They will probably never get it right because they are trying to practice the goal which makes no sense. This is the same. Sure you can play fast and wrong for fun sometimes but you can't consider that good practice or a method conductive to improvement and investing a sensible portion of your practice doing that is just bad. Maybe I'm not understanding something but I find this advice illogical and potentially detrimental.

Man, Thank you so much for this series. I’m sure you feel a lot of joy and a lot of relief now that it’s finished. I do however have a question and interested in your thoughts about training schedules. How do you determine what to work on and when? Say Im an Apex Gamer specifically, do I train smoothness Mon, Wed, Friday? Reactivity on Tuesday, Thursday Saturday and just weaknesses or static on day Sunday? Because it’s predominantly a tracking game with static being used as your way to acquire targets cleanly. Really interested in your thoughts about skill learning and how often you recommend training the same portion of your aim.

I don’t know whether it’s more of a smoothness thing, but I find that whenever I’m tracking, I could be tracking really well when all of a sudden I make a jolting motion with my arm, I feel relaxed I think but it still happens and it causes my crosshair to jitter off. Is that part of that ‘coping flick’ thing?

i'll give a longer answer in the commentary but we use audio cues as well as visual cues to read targets, so in theory there's downsides to never using audio information for reading.

I'm 36 years old,last saturday i trained for 15 hours...and no i am not a good aimer,I over did it because i wasn't in the mood for anything else...everytime I stood up to take a break I would exit Kovaaks because I dont want it to reflect wasted hours...my wrist had some sharp pains since then but I recovered with some meds..i am unfortunately addicted to aim training for the grind of it ,it will take me 3 times longer to become good because I suck

you don't suck, i'm 38, fundamentally you can only stuff so much into a sock. you just need to recognize that the way you learn changes when you get older and use it to your advantage. i'm going to be making a series on how to properly optimize learning which is going to be specific to 25+ but everyone can benefit from it

Hey Ridd! How do I get into the voltaic benchmarks? I’ve been trying to figure how to do it for the past few days but I’m just lost lol. Also, when training with the playlists, should we use the settings you discussed in the video? Like lowering the sound and changing the crosshair to the same color as the bot?

Voltaic has a pretty good intro video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9d6ha6r08zMh2Q.html For the settings, I tried to introduce a couple protocols you "can" use and I discussed the underlying mechanisms that make them work. So it's up to you to try them and see if they work for you, everyone's slightly different

I'm 30, you made me really sad :-) . I'm scoring gold on all Voltaic Benchmarks, I feel I'm playing a bit above avarage, but notice ALL the times when I know, if I had a bit more consistant aim, I whould be winning that round (at this time I'm mostly playing destiny 2). I'm grinding for plat rn, but, as expected, I just getting more consistant, but not progressing score wise (which is good too). Considering video topic, I noticed a huge benefit of incorporating reactive tracking scenarious in my routine, it's really helps to track those pesky strafing and gliding guardians in Trials. For now complite voltaic routine and supplementary dedicated training (point click or tracking, depending on my feeling) works fine for me (I think). I always had a couple questions for you, hope it's ok to ask.What do you think about suppliment training your aim in aim trainers with games like Unreal Tornament with "godlike" bots and instagib mutator? I main sniper rifle in destiny, so for me, I can see how warming up with 100-150 kills with fast moving, reacting and strafing like crazy bots can be beneficial for game like Destiny 2 (especially when you have to actively dodging yourself) . Sometimes I use the cheat "slomo 1.2" to make bots just a bit faster. You kinda talked about that topic in that video tho, but it whould be nice to hear your opinion. Should I use it just to warm up, or I should grind it a bit more, for an hour, for example, treat it like a training. Thx a lot, your videos gave me a lot motivation to improve. Well, except 25 years part, that one was a bit... discouraging. I joking, tho, really well researched and useful information, keep up a good work, sir! :-)

i can talk about this in detail in the commentary, but i think that type of training "can help" just nothing beats actual humans in terms of prac outside of trainers. so unless you're just having a hard time finding ppl to dm with i'd go straight for the pvp training

Can you make a video explaining bad habits formed during aim training? Or even a comment telling them. I am new to aim training and I can never find a good answer when I ask about bad habits. I am aware of trying to be tense, but for new people like myself that are starting aim training there is no real list or video explaining bad habits can be formed over time training. I worry that maybe I have bad habits that I do not even know about.

The smoothness is the key factor here as I expected. However, I use my trapezius to do big/wide motions instead of the actual limb which is impossible to be smooth if you aim with your "neck" lmao. I trained to GM level static but I had been playing apex for the past 3 years struggling to get to the same level of tracking aim. I graduately came to realize this and I moved on to valorant now. I am content with this change, no regrets. Just be mindful of how you use your muscle to move the mouse. A lot of flicky speed aimers like myself are definitely going to have a harder time training tracking. Good luck everybody!
