Best caster. One of the greatest Halo content creators. Nothing but pure passion, you can tell these things

Formal uses positioning like snipedown. It's like when snipe said he didn't have the best aim he just used positioning and everyone called him a liar lol but it's true. He makes YOU walk into his reticule. He predicts where you're spawning/pushing/holding, positions himself accordingly to get you to do all the work for him. It's a masterclass on predicting enemy movements and thoughts.

Formal has the smoothest POV in the game. He makes it look effortlesss.

@shyway Thanks so much for the shoutout, that means a lot coming from you. 🙏 Your Halo breakdowns are so vital to the community. 🤟😎

I’m a simple man; I see a Shyway video, I click

I really and truly hope that you get a chance to return to the desk and booth in the future Alex. When they feel like you did right by them, and you continue doing right by yourself, you deserve to get back in the booth with Tony and give Andy/Onset their run for their money. Nobody else comes close.

Formal and Lucid are insane. Would love to see those two play ranked duos.

I'm a COD fan first and foremost and your analysis is spot on. Referring to COD and watching him play it for years, FormaLs aim and positioning was always king. Its why he was always considered to have the straightest (best) shot. He never missed, everything is SO clean. He could happily ego chall people because he had far more trust in his centering and shot than others

Excited to see an ode to Snipedown or even a Formal comms video. Also strats on how to not right stick panic because my right stick movement looks like I'm having a seizure...

5:48 that's a tactic the military utilizes irl called "suppressing fire"

This dude's aim is incredible, he makes minimal adjustments that look so easy to do and yet they're very difficult to accomplish, especially in big events like the ones he plays, anyone who wishes to improve their accuracy should try to emulate his approach because it's one of the best if not the best. P.s.: Royal2 next?, the man's been a beast in Infinite (e.g. he seems to always be a pain in the ass against C9), I dare say that he has single-handedly kept Sen alive in many matches in many series'.

7:30 that's correct, when shooting real guns it is taught to lead your target transitions with your eyes first, then bring the rifle up to meet the target. The key is leading the transition with your eyes first. So you are 100% correct man

_My renewed faith in Shyway has led me to open the KZfaq app, and look how that faith has been rewarded_

More Formal breakdowns please - good stuff man

This is honestly my favorite video on KZfaq right now. I just recently got back into Halo after only experiencing Halo 1 and 2. I learn something new every time I watch

"A lot to get into, let's get into it...let's get in" feel like we're getting a lot with this video :-)

THESE VIDEOS.....man they are way too underrated. THANK YOU!

You're the best shyway. You're professional, educational, and never ask me to sub. Thanks man

Would love to see you react to some of Tylenol's H3 clips. His aim is absurd, no idea how he does it on 9.5 sens.

Always enjoyed your breakdowns

First time seeing your content, really enjoyed it. Thanks for the video and making an easy subscriber.

Great breakdown! Love your videos!

Ayy lovin the uploads

i appreciate you mentioning the sight-tracking element. def interested to hear more on that.

Optc made a video of them playing COD where they have some sort of thing that highlights where each player is looking at while they play. Formal was apart of that video.

Yeah I love how you explain it. Most of these pros are hella smooth on the sticks. He is not pegging the stick to the outer rim but having full control over it at all times

watching bound fly through that hallway just to almost nade himself might be my favorite checked challenge ever

Formal is a beast and watching his twitch stream while he was trying to find a team was epic he was grinding hard to get that team, thought sen was gonna go for him and when optic got him you knew that team was a winning team with formal bringing that ice

This came out at the perfect time. I really need to TRY to implement his form to try and increase my aim.

Video on Snakebite and Frosty please!

Watching formal play AW back in 2014 was somethings else, it was a great transition from halo which was a lot of jetpack and jumping around to AW.

I would love to see a Royal 2 breakdown/montage. That’s a BADDD man

This video is legendary ❤

Good stuff man

I’ve been noticing pro players are getting crazy good at managing the blast radius of grenades by anticipating geometry and trajectory of the granade. Ex at 10:40 pushing past the grenade. Also love your term “compromised animations” interesting

Please review APGs next, guy never gets the spot light but is such an essential part of the team. Break down his Obj and how his play style changes from Obj to slayer game types.

I don’t even wanna say when he pops off because he’s so freaking consistent but there are moments when he just shuts down a team. When he imposes his will, it is devastating.

For the eye placement concept, vision in motorsports could help explain it if that's something you're interested in. When driving fast, you're looking quite far ahead, at the exit of a corner before hitting the apex.

I wouldn't mind seeing some breakdowns of Pznguin's plays. I wonder if Formal has a very good spatial awareness or visualization of the map that helps him find his cursor placement. However, all these things I feel one has to figure it out on their own.

What also helps formaL win is his consistency. His disciplined practice to perfect his fundamentals is makes him consistent. Every game is played the same way. No awkward movements, no gray area mistakes….

this video made me a better player

Is there a way you could track eye movement while someone is playing to elaborate on the eye movement?

11:31 Notice how he jumps as well to make sure he lands the headshot no matter whether he jumps, crouches or stays at normal level. Because he knows that with the BR burst he will kill him no matter what he does.

Been watching Formal streams since reach. I told the cod foos watch out and I told the halo kids the same hes winning this year!

+1 on Formal comms breakdown

What’s his controller settings?

What sensitivity does he play on?

What’s his current deadzones and sensitivity setting?

I've said throughout the life of Infinite that if you want to learn how to play Halo 'correctly' there's no better player to watch than Formal. It's like he never makes a bad decision.

tipable

343 needs to send you a bag 💰ur keeping the game alive and I’m moving up in rank 🥂

Really hoping you can teach me to move my reticle like formal by the end of this.

They call it 'crosshair placement' where you hold your crosshair/retical where you know or the headlevel is

Formal sens??

bro the HCS needs you back

Formal settings?

So I know this doesn't fully explain the eye reticle correlation but to sum it up, would you say don't stare at your reticle, but rather look where you want to shoot? Kinda like driving a car? Look where you're turning?

How do you feel you would do against formal, lucid and then if you got matched up against 1 of them

He 100% thinks about it. I do the same thing

Can they just go ahead and replace shit clutch with this man?!

Was formal filling in for sentinels because I don't remember that?

14:48 1. Damn he has the moves, video explaining how to do it and strafe tips? 2. Try following that with your mouse without any aim assist, good luck

I have so "heavy" fingers that I can't play high sens look. I just can't lol. I admire how these guys who can. I have somewhat decent acceleration but that's it. Especially high sens with the S7? Nooope haha.

2:11 i think that's horizontal

I noticed a lot of times he won't even strafe. He'll literally stop moving and just aim. Only player I know that does that

Shyway, have/ will you take a look at Mint Blitz? His gameplay is top tier

Best aim still has to go to Royal 2 the guy is like a human turret

Druk

Get an eye tracker or offer a pro an eye tracker to see if that’s what they do.

H4F

1 sens formal, got carried by aPureAdderallAddict, sandbox lucid and trippy.

Dysnc, melees, grenades are still broken. I uninstalled until fixed. I’ll be at MW2 where there is a fresh of breath air and campers.

Shyway, gotta disagree with your analysis on Formal being a “disciplined” player. If anything i would consider him more of a “tank” player. High damage output but also usually most damage input. High shots fired and top assister as well. If anything Trippy is the anchor or more “disciplined” player on OpTic.

Videos like this a little depressing. You don't see ppl standing still crouching and living 3 or 4 more shots. Playing on Lan is like an entirely different game

Best aim assist....

Uses aimbot?

Controller "aim" lol...

halo = insane auto aim

FormaL is one of the best to ever lay hands on the sticks

reacting to aim assist.........😅😂

Formal looks like the personification of a neckbeard reddit discord mod who plays WoW and lives in his mom’s basement.

I average around 70% accuracy. GT: Bobaluga

I love this video. Shyway bringing the basketball triangle theory into the mix of halo. I’m going to start calling you phil jackson!!😂

I used play formal often in Reach he would literally place his reticle at the sky bc everyone jumps were so predictable. I'm not gonna lie I'm happy to see the Formal/APG duo back for infinite Trippy/lucid have always been together for the most part
