Rocketjumpninja is dope as hell. Love that guy. Love that you shouted him out.

Respect to s4, an actually pro helping/teaching people to get good. Thanks man

Just click at the right time 4Head

15:05 Surefour is actually describing the 3 steps in how your brain processes sensory information into action-Sense (phototransduction in this case), Processing (where the cerebrum will understand information-the occipital lobe specifically processes visual information), and Decision-making (where the cortex decides what to do with the information). I’m surprised how accurately he described something that happens within milliseconds.

Surefour in a million dollar tournament finals "IM A SHOTCALLER NOT A GOOD TEAMMATE! We're doing great guys, we're doing great"

Tisumi is so good at explaining things 30 minutes of pure CoolStoryBob

This is very well done surefour. To add on, think of flick shots as an educated guess shot. No flick shot is ever going to be 100%. Every flick shot is always an estimated guess shot of where you think you should shoot at THAT instance in time!

13:16 basically the moral of the story: tutu ruu

I feel like this tracking advice is really misleading and will hurt people's aim. You suggest that they pay attention to their cursor, but you'll find that you're going to either not predict their movement enough and your bullets will often go behind the target, or you'll over predict and miss like 5 bullets when they change direction. A better way to improve your tracking aim is to watch your enemy exclusively and not look at your cursor/crosshair at all. This intense focus on a target and following them slowly with your eyes is called "smooth pursuit". It's the same type of eye movement used in reading for example. The goal is to watch the enemy and allow your muscle memory to follow them on it's own, as long as you're watching them with a smooth pursuit eye movement you'll keep them in the center of your screen and track them perfectly with zero prediction required. If this prediction/reaction style is how you actually approach tracking, then you're a genetic god for being able to track with that style so well. But it is not the best way to do it and is not an approach to improve quickly. This level of reaction and prediction to get a professional level of tracking with this style requires naturally very good reaction times and thousands of extra hours of play to learn how to predict every character's movement patterns in every area of every map. Improving your smooth pursuit eye movement will DRAMATICALLY and RAPIDLY increase your tracking aim in every fps game with any character or gun that depends on tracking. In this sense it is universal aim improvement unlike your prediction/reaction methodology. You can do specific eye exercises to help this type of eye movement and your overall ability to focus. You want to imagine it like reading, you should be able to make out the color of everything the character you're looking at is wearing, their gun, how their legs/arms/head/etc. are moving at every moment the same way you can make out every letter as you read. Peer reviewed studies have shown this type of eye movement in humans and apes to be dramatically increased also when using hand movement to follow what they are tracking, which ties in with aiming perfectly. If done properly you should be able to track people equally well with no crosshair enabled at all. And disabling your crosshair completely when training this type of eye movement is a great way to help at first if you struggle with tunnel visioning on your crosshair instead of truly seeing and watching the character you're shooting at. Crosshairs are really only important for flick shotting as a measurement reference point that your eyes use to quickly guage how much arm/wrist movement your muscle memory needs to snap onto a target.

Wow you're actually a really good teacher. The fact that you're able to break things down that are probably just habit for you at this point is awesome.

In short, just get good gaming socks

I am old. I have been playing these kinds of games since before most of you were born. I have never seen anyone put into words what most people just naturally evolve into doing the way you have in this dated video I somehow stumbled across in 2020. I have a son into gaming, and I couldn't explain why his dad had such awesome aim. I could only say, " Son, I was forged in the time of iron - and it took much sacrifice and toil!" Now i can show him your video, thank you! Great work here!

wow that crouch spam tutorial was amazing. I was wondering why my crouch spam didn't work against good widows

Well done video s4. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Your work is appreciated my dude

My accuracy went from 20% to 50% because of this video. Thank You!!!

i like this one, very in-depth and more accurate than most aim analysis videos. but guys remember do not over-analyze your aim

The clickling at the proper time idea actually helped me a ton! Thank you for your awesome insights Surefour :)

Great job at winning the 1v1 dual them shots were amazing! 🤩

I don't know how helpful this can be for me. The video is clearly made for PC players, but I'm one of those who play on console. And how I had to learn from others I talked to: there is a huge difference between console and PC; so much that players who switched between systems stated it was like learning the game all over again. I light of this, I have no idea how much all of this here applies to me.

Dude wtf, your tips made like night and day difference on my aim. Thanks so much for having me enjoying fps properly.

"Then there's the opposite end of the spectrum, where you go full wrist." "DUUH DUUH DUUUH!"

The crosshair aiming tip has exactly the same principlae as how I play pool, If i watch the tip of the cue I almost always miss but if I watch the ball I'm trying to hit instead the outcome is usually much better, great video :)

Well done most people just say git gud or practice but what do i practice lol thanks for giving me the clues

Man that osu! theory you had about when you click being the most important thing is something I figured out forever ago. Everything thought i was crazy. But it's good to see someone else come to the conclusion. This is also what makes target practice a good way to improve, if done correctly.

Liked this video, because it mentions exactly what I'm doing, which is not looking at the cursor but thinking about timing.

I have been playing since launch. Finally got GM. Aiming has always been my weakness. Its so rare to see actual aiming tips from a pro head clicker. Surefour you are a real one. Hope you get to read this. We appreciate you. Even if you are a shameless weeb.

Literally the whole thing about clicking being the most important thing and the cross hair just being a measurement changed everything for me. How you talked about the guy playing csgo and him just clicking when he knew where to click. I’m listening to this whenever I wake up in the morning from now on. Seriously improved my aim sooo much. Thank you Surefour.

Never figured out if I'm an arm or wrist aimer. Unless I'm using über high sensitivity, I'm almost always using both. Use arm to get into the general direction (or snap on if lucky) then use wrist to correct. This happens almost at the same time (not exactly of course, as you explained you'll get sensor-drift basically ;p). Also for me it was the exact opposite: I can flick with the wrist, quite well, but tracking in general is much, much smoother and more controlled when using the arm (only using wrist when correction is needed). That's just me though. Love the video and a big fan :D EDIT: I think my sensitivity makes me use both: I'm generally between 35-43cm/360

That feels like my classes right now. The prof is the only one talking and asking the students questions we answer in the chat.

shoutout to Bishu for getting me to watch this vid. CONGRATS ON WINNING THE TOURNAMENT SUREFOUR ! Also make Canada proud at the World Cup! Fellow alberten cheerin you on !

I didn't realize this is what I was up against in Titanfall way back then. We appreciate you.

This is real shit yoo bw this mouse settings I have to figure out in every game or I can use the one I find OW can be used in other games? :)

hey man, I started playing OW coming from Valorant and I got recommended this video. It's also great for highlighting the difference between aiming in a tac-shooter and aiming in this hero-shooter game, and I really like the vid and the lessons. Thank you

Predicting their predictions with my predictions, got it coach.

My 3 main takeaways: 1. "When you're trying to shoot, don't think about where your crosshair is, think about WHEN you need to click. You're the one telling your crosshair when you want to click, not them telling you." I need to drill this into my head because I'm always clicking when my crosshair is no where near my target. 2. When A-D strafing, add a crouch here and there to form an upside down "V" or a skewed "N" but don't just tap the crouch button, hold it for a little bit longer to really get the benefit of your opponent missing their shots. I usually just get headshotted by Widows because I tap crouch for a split second and my head ends up back where it was less than 0.1 seconds ago. 3. When up against projectile Heroes like Hanzo, predict when he will shoot and go in the opposite direction right before he does. A-D strafe for longer but not too long to become too predictable and for the love of god NEVER EVER jump! This applies even to Widow, you'll end up in a predictable movement path and get headshotted. I'm guilty of this sometimes and I mean I main Hanzo so you'd think I would actually never do this but I still do against other Hanzos 😂

i shall apply this to my console aim FeelsDelusionalMan

I think you did a very good job at explaining something that is very difficult to put in words but in my opinion its best to just practice and dont expect instant results but most importantly remember it's just a game (for most people)

Rocket Jump Ninja is amazing, cool that you gave him that shoutout. I always go to him before I buy a mouse.

This actually explained why I suck so much with hitscan heroes, yet I'm very good on projectiles. So many years maining Thresh on lol made me too predictive of the opponent to have decent reactions.

Now to get the 30% aim-lock I need a gaming chair

Holy shit this video has actually helped me soooooo much. It sounds dumb but just that one advice of basically saying "click on them not on the crosshair" and now I'm landing so many more shots, because instead of trying to move my mouse onto them I'm just moving it over them and clicking when I need to.

I like the way you stumble to explain "if you have to think, you are too slow"

I just watched you win the Widow battle in the All-Stars! You are AMAZING SUREFOUR, I love you, keep up the great work! ❤

Okay dad

Good job at the OWL the 1v1 widows had me at the edge of my seat and i enjoyed it a lot definitely gonna start tuning in to the channel dude great content 👍

Nice! Thx S4 exactly what I needed xD

*_Dude, i just switched from console to pc 2 or 3 days ago. It is like you knew that, you have uploaded this on the perfect timing for me._* *_The problem is, that my gamesense is now good, but my mechanical skill is shit. For example to find the perfect settings for me. On console it was much easier, because the settings are much more limited._* *_I just wanted to thank you for those videos because that is not self-evident. Big thanks to my senpai_* ❤️❤️

this is probably the best aiming related video ive seen on youtube

Congrats to my boi for winning the widow tournament, was rooting for ya since the beginning, big fan

Thank you so much. It was so hard for me to explain to a friend on how aiming works def will share this vid with everyone

This is genuinely the most helpful aim video ever.

Wow, this is the first actually helpful aim tutorial I have seen, thanks.

Arm aiming involves alot of forearm inertia. Thats why it's smoother but less accurate. With wrist aim it's the opposite. BUT if you train your wrist you actually CAN achieve the same smoothness. But you'r still limited in it due to skin-to-mousepad friction (special gaming gloves might help) and othe stuff. So in short - wrist aiming is for accuracy. Arm aiming is for smoothness. I used to play CS1.5 with wrist aiming. Then i got into hldm and discovered bunnyhoping. I switched to arm aiming so my bhop could be as smooth as possible. In the end i fully concentrated on bhoping and arm "aiming" (with bhop theres obviously nothing to aim for, but the view movement still matters). So when i tried OW - i quickly jumped back to wrist aiming with Tracer. P.S. 1200 DPI, 10 sens, claw-palm hybrid

S4 ur a legend man. I love your streams , and you seem like a good person. Hope you are happy

Summary: Just klick the heads

26:12 best hanzo fan art ever made

thank you so much! that was so informational and really helped me out. ily man!

I don’t want advice from a scrub like surefour I want advice from tisumi

Thank you sooo much I was 3400 at my peak and thought my aim was pretty good but this brought It up to a whole new level in just minutes by changing the way I think about aim.

good insight, advice, real talk and passing of knowledge. GJ!

18:08 the timing is perfect, i laughed a lot

This has to be the best Aim guide, put all my questions in one video.

Thank you Mr Surefour. This thing you said about moving cursor and clicking at the right time with overflick is genious. I instanly got 20-30% more headshots in Widowmaker wars after few minutes of practicing this. I was able to do flicks like never before :o Great video

Just got this video recommended to me, most comments are pretty old but I'll leave this in case other people get it considering that OW2 just got out. If you guys are having troubles understanding the entire "the important thing is when to click" part just know that you already do it every time you click on an icon on your desktop, you don't aim at the recycle bin yet you don't miss it. I don't know why this even needs an explanation, it's natural.

Another important detail is arm aim is good for hitscan heroes and wrist aim may be better for projectile heroes like genji for example because 180 dashing is a really important skill to master with genji and high sens and wrist flicks makes turning faster. But nonetheless it's better to stick to one sensitivity for all heroes.

10:38 Holy shit yeah that is litterally everything even tracking if you're not on them you shouldn't really be clicking. I think the build up talking about Osu is what actually convinced me to commit to actually aiming like this. This is why better players don't benefit as much from high refresh rate monitors and better systems as the latency just doesn't matter as much, although the latency CONSISTENCY will probably still matter a lot. Also the tracer insight is basic but new to me - get close for damage - blink away/to cover to reload. Kinda play like reaper where you just sneak in close at an off angle or behind, then use cooldowns as escape tools/for flanking/sustain if you have heals.

@Surefour Yo, whats good, dude thats byfar the best Aiming tutorial what i´ve seen in years! Well explained, if someone wants to learn it properly! You can use that Tutorial pretty much for every Game! Good Job Boyyy

Alright, I'll go feed some widows now.

hell yh rocketjumpninja my boy

I never thought about aiming as a spectrum. Totally makes sense though.

that timing of sub sound @ 6:05 xD My day is done!

Old but Gold, thanks

Nostradamus would have been an excellent gamer "Silly camper, I predicted you'd be there 10 years ago"

When you're a console player but watch the first 10 minutes anyway

I've seen so many aim guides, but none has ever talked and shown examples of the importance of when your supposed to click. I've always just assumed that I need pixel perfect reticle placement.

Believe him he’s the guy who switches sens and still completely annihilates all other pro widows

I learned a metronome helps be unpredictable, I believe people catch onto beats easy. So like a song I will change my movement based on random rhythm and change the rhythm as randomly as possible

Why don't you call it Surefourtorials? Also you should make more of these!

Why am I watching this, I'm a Winston main...

I bet Carpe is watching this now.

Surefour I actually love you! You did good today on the all Star game

Damn this is a good video. When you retire from competition start an E-sports school, man. In the future, I'm sure those will be lucrative. You are really good at explaining things simply and using really good examples in practice. Thank's Surefour

Surefour I'm a semi-professional wanting to make it to the pro league of OWL. I've watched your videos and your theories of aim/widow maker in general and It made me really re-evaluate how I play the game. I really am thankful for this helpful tutorial that you've posted and the previous Widowmaker one. If possible could you elaborate on how I can use this theory in team play, meaning how do I explain/utilize my team to the fullest using the Good-shot/Bad-shot theory? How does my team help make a Good-shot opportunity that I can utilize and become more efficient on not forcing hard-shots?

I could listen to your voice, next to the campfire..sipping a cup of wine...talking about overwatch being an ez clap

one of the best if not the best video about aiming.

When you watch a 30 minute video about aiming but you play console 😭

my prediction always gets predicted after i predict their prediction of my prediction

Damn, so that clicking blindly thing is legit. I thought I've been compensating for bad aim or get lucky, turns out it's not a bad habit.

SureFour... You're awesome! Thank you, Sempai!

A lot of this applies to other FPS games btw. Played overwatch for ages, but all of this applies to Apex - just have to remember that in apex there is no hitscan so you have to lead your shots.

by far the best guide for aiming ever

Fun thing to keep in mind for this tracking example with the Zaryas, is that moving in the opposite direction has the same effect as just using a lower mouse sensitivity.

this video made me dizzy but it was still awesome and super informative, this guy is great

THAT GRAPH IS ACTUALLY 9000 IQ HOLY FUCK SUREFOUR IS A GOD LMFAO

Happy to see rocketjumpninja mentioned, he deserves it

I learned a lot from this video. There's a lot here that most people don't teach.
