Smooth Tracking: Aim Training Crash Course #7
Рет қаралды 182,021
Күн бұрынSmooth tracking is one of the most important underlying aim mechanics in FPS games, but is also one of the most overlooked since it looks effortless when executed properly. If you want to become a great FPS player you need to learn how to perform smooth tracking properly, and this video gives you all the tools you need to do so.
This continues the planned 12-part series which when watched start to finish, will teach you every single aim mechanic that you need to be a complete FPS aimer.

For those who want to know how effective and universal smoothness is, i can tell you that before smoothness training i was like a bronze/silver in average score. Now I’m so more consistent in aim training and in game I’m so more relaxed, one thing that used to get me killed a lot before was my reflexes to tense when entering a gun fight suddenly my aim started to be shaky and i lost plenty of gunfight that i should have win. But aim training really gives you the confidence and smoothness in particular is probably the most helpful imo.

So I opened this video two days ago. Just skimmed as I couldn’t hear much at work. At first I coupled this with the other aimlab/aim vids I’ve been looking at. Didn’t even make it past 5.5mins. Anyway, you’ve helped me tremendously with just two things in that 5 minutes. You spoke about weight/traction and it made me really think about and look at what I’ve got going on because I couldn’t track at all. It was always just skips. I literally had my palm planted on the mousepad. I’m very new to pc gaming. Anyway. I fixed that thanks to you. Thank god because I couldn’t understand what was so WRONG. Secondly, you said just assume the tracker is going to continue in the same direction for forever. With just those two things not only can I effectively train but I’m a completely different, capable fps player. I’m not exaggerating either. My performance is night and day thanks to you. I had to come back and dig this video out of my history to thank you, like and subscribe. For whatever reason those two things (which at the time I didn’t know was an issue) you said kept ringing in my head. Mastering the neutral position in just 48 hours was absolute key for me to be able to build on. Thanks tons man.

I play KBM on PS4 and have been for the past 13+ months to get good aim before I get my PC, COD is the only thing I play but since I'm on console I can't use Aim Labs or Kovaaks so I have an aim training routine with a few maps on Fortnite creative and custom games on cod to practice tracking and flicks/Target transitions; over the past year I've progressed way more than I thought possible on console, but I always have room to improve so I'm constantly taking inspiration from the top tier aimers in the aim community to always motivate me and watching vids for advice, man just the first 10 minutes of this video alone have been more helpful than any vid I've ever seen or advice I've ever heard in over a year of being on KBM. Honestly thank you so much man, will keep coming back to this to keep improving my aim and especially when I get my PC and can use Aim Labs/Kovaaks! 💪🏼💙

So I have been noticing my smoothness getting worse. In trying to improve my tracking I have begun to develop bad habits. Why? I was training wrong. In 23:55 you have saved me the years it would have taken me to figure this out on my own! This is nuts! DUDE! Tracking is at least 1/3 of my training. One sec I have to bang my head on the desk. Of that 1/3, 100% involves left clicking of some sort!!! Jeez!! There were times where I was smooth as butter. In those moments I would notice how relaxed my movements were. And now that I'm thinking about it, that only happens when I do switch tracking. The only tracking drill I do that requires no clicking. Why would things feel so smooth one minute? And not the next? I couldn't reproduce it when I wanted to. Oh because in a thirty minute training I was training smoothness for one minute and then trying to apply for the rest of my training. You do not understand. I was asking myself things like, maybe it's caffeine, sleep? Um no. I'm not getting any smoother because I'm not f-ing training for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I Bang bang bang goes my head. This changes everything for me.Doah!

amazing video, was wondering if you could make a video explaining the science behind aiming, stuff about the calculations of trying to transfer sens from one game to another. going in depth on that about fov and what not, also stuff about the muscles in your arm that are used for aiming and how you can effectively train a specific part of your arm. and the phycological aspect of when your presented with a certain shot in a game or how to make your aim training more affective. or showing what having technique is in terms of aiming, theres probably many many more things you could talk about the science of aiming, really like the long videos and how much they cover and how well it covers it too. i really want to know more about aiming, i want to be able to teach others about it, i dont do it enough to where id make videos but not just for telling others but for myself. im really into things aiming related and i cant find more about it, you seem to know a lot about the science behind aiming so i really want to know every last detail.

Great video as always Ridd! I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on centering in regards to smoothness - i.e. not moving your crosshair to the target, but rather moving the target to the center of your screen and keeping it there. Technically I guess its the same thing, but at least to me centering feels like it's "easier to digest" if you know what I mean. I've been training without a crosshair recently, and I feel like it helped a lot, since it doesn't allow me to fall back into moving the crosshair instead of the target if that makes sense.

bro when ever i do workout it shakes, so should i stop my workout for esport? coz whenever i do arm workout or lift heavy it shakes

Probably a stupid question but do you smooth track with your arm? I'd imagine that it'd be difficult to track the wide movement of training bots with just your wrist unless you're on high sens. Also what eDPI do you recommend? Been playing valorant for 5-7 months at 280 eDPI (based on val). Tracking is mostly terrible and shaky. Also thanks for the great video, quite a breath of fresh air from the other "guides" I've gotten

most people can operate effectively anywhere from 15-80 cm with tracking, some can operate even outside of those bounds but it starts to become more difficult. i personally smooth track with (mostly) my arm but some people are amazing with dominant wrist. it is very context-specific and i encourage people to experiment and train both

Yo, I guess I'm kind of late but did you find out if the sens is playable generally? I use around 220 edpi and I'm playing valorant also. Tracking is so difficult for me, im tensing too much and I wanna know if I have to switch sens to like 40cm/360

when aim training do you think it is better to do a split similar to working out? like static, then tracking, then ts, or should you focus on one at a time

i've actually discussed that in my Aim FAQ (I believe) - I haven't seen one method over another being more or less superior, so I would just do what works for you as long as you are focused and attended. most people will break it up by aim area, but i've also seen top aimers that spend most of their time in one mechanic for long periods of time (weeks or more).

what about settings like monitor distance coefficient? how much does this effect tracking/ snapping? I used to have a comfortable aim but now its just anxiety with all the more settings that come available and i am struggling to find a sens i can stick with or be confident about.
@franckbringand8706 9 ай бұрын
just put a damn sensitivity and stick with it it doesn't matter if you get kill once because you ran out of mousepad just use one sens for a year and sea the progress

My issue has always been shaky aim. I snap my mouse continually to target in guise of smooth aim, but I miss a lot of shots because of it.

I really liked your idea of Controlsphere and Smoothsphere being combined, like the version you showed in aimlabs, so I actually ended up making a version of it in Kovaaks; it's called 'Psevsphere' and it's on the workshop, it's not the best since I have little experience making scenarios, but it does the job I think. I do actually have a question though, you mentioned when you have 25-30% accuracy, you should move up a tier of difficulty. Is this also true when you're practicing smoothness? Ex, if I'm averaging 40% accuracy on Smoothbot, but I'm using it for a smoothness warmup on say, 2x my sens, should I still move up a difficulty?

let's go! awesome. for your accu question, i'd say if you are trying to push yourself to improve, like intentionally make errors to establish new pathways, then yes. if you are just warming up or something it's not necessary

I come from MOBAs, I started playing Apex with a friend this summer. Started aim training around September iirc. I was absolutely terrible at Apex and at Kovaaks, tracking was my worst aspect by far. I tried Voltaic routines and I tried grinding the smooth tracking benchmarks to no avail. For me what worked was Valkyrie tracking routine. And I believe that for a newcomer is all that's needed, something simple. Tracking will always have a smoothness and a reactive component no matter if one is more exaggerated they are always present. I play on 40cm/360 now, not long ago I played on 30/360 and it didn't really help, tracking was just easier on a higher sens and it didn't help me when switched to my lower sens but this might be due to me playing with fingers and wrist only for years so arm aiming was alien to me. I also think that bothering with different sensibilities is more of a cherry on top for already great aimers that want to be well rounded, newcomers don't need that, we need the fundamentals. Some key insights that helped my tracking where: -Relax hand at all costs -Glue your eyes to the bot -When the bot changes directions there is a little pause where you have to stop, games usually have this too -Confidently follow the bots movement as if it's not going to change direction (as said in the video) even tho it's gonna do it -Readjust without overreacting, play with it -Follow the bot with the intention/feeling of stopping (hard to explain) -Move less, the bot sometimes is not moving that fast you are just making it much more difficult by overreacting -Do not spam the scenario run after run back to back, take small breaks between runs. You will tire your hand and it will be harder or impossible to practice properly -Lastly, and this applies to all scenarios, a lower score but a greater feeling of control run is ALWAYS superior to a higher score with worse feel. A tense jittery 5k score is detrimental to improvement, a smooth and well performed 4k score is beneficial to improvement. You are playing to achieve mouse control, mouse control above everything else. Uncontrolled=bad. Also as said in other of your videos watching top score plays on KZfaq, it helps a lot to watch what it should look like. Mind you I'm still pretty bad at aiming I'm just giving my perspective as a relatively new FPS player, also interestingly focusing on tracking and on smoothness and mouse control made me go from barely bronze on dynamic clicking to almost plat in all 3 Voltaic benchmark scenarios for dynamic clicking. Maybe this guide is just for more advanced aimers, but I just felt like sharing as someone that was hardstuck bronze in Voltaic benchmarks for a while and frustrated because there was no improvement made and I'm sure there are more people like me.

@RiddBTW 2 жыл бұрын
Good question I think the sooner you can break into multi-dimensional movement, especially bots moving closer or further from you, the better. It can be easy to just hard push one dimension and not develop the reading skills you need. And learning to apply equal force to your mouse in all directions is vital for mouse control.
