Great catch, it's indeed true that when you focus on the target you'll be able to track and flick to it much easier, as long as you are able to read the target's movement (and you get better at that with practice too)

You say "predict/reading" and then you use the word "predict" a bunch, but the little corner of the internet that I come from "predicting" something is guessing and "reading" something isn't, at least not entirely, guessing. I COULD just be arguing semantics here, but something about your comment just seemed off. It reads like you are describing "reading" patterns, but you use the word predict instead. So a quick example - somebody is strafing left, naturally that means that at some point they'll strafe right. Guessing when that happens (and if it happens) is a prediction, not a read. A read would be seeing them already strafe left and right a few times, so you actually read their movement pattern properly and play accordingly. And yes, I agree, reading player animation is one of the most important aspects of aiming. Guessing if they're gonna do something or not without enough prior data, i.e. predicting, is not the same thing. "NOW if you were only PREDICTING enemy movement, you will miss MUCH less on enemy strafes than if you were reacting. It’s just how humans are." - this is a sentence that I found off, cause it implies that if you just guess where people are going you're going to hit them more often compared to just reacting to their movement. Which isn't true at all. Guessing is just guessing, it's the most unreliable way to do anything. Again, I just could be arguing semantics and I apologize if it seems that way. And maybe you see "predict" and "read" as the exact same thing, I simply do not.

​@@SlCKNESS_ Hey, read your comment and wanted to clear a few things up. I only included the term 'reading' in my comment because the author of this video used it in place of the word 'predicting.' Meaning that I don't agree with the author's definitions of reading and predicting. I view them as separate things. Predicting to me is merely guessing, whilst reading is basically just an educated guess fueled by previous encounters/situations. It basically just means to predict an enemy's next action based off of their previous actions. In games such as Apex, CoD, R6S etc., you won't be able to make reads on enemies (9/10, because natually you'll just kill them before you're able to develop a read on the enemy). Meaning that you'll only be able to predict their movement. Now, learning common strafing patterns and anticipating them is not particularly reading, because you can't really read an enemy you haven't had an encounter with previously, so you're basically predicting that the enemy is going to follow a common strafing pattern and you're gonna counter it. When people use the term "Read like a book." after predicting and countering an enemy's play, I still wouldn't consider that as a read. Purely because of the fact that you've (probably) never fought this enemy before. So it's still just a prediction and a counter. In the game For Honor for example, you make many more reads than you do predictions. This is because you get to fight the same enemy over and over and over again, meaning that you develop a schema of the enemy's actions, thus being able to make educated predictions, also known as *reads.* As I previously stated, I don't agree with the video author's definitions of read and predict, because he uses them both in the same way/context which in my opinion is wrong. I only used the terms read and predict in place of each other just so that the author of the video can understand my comment, as I wasn't really expecting anyone but him to read it. Now that I've cleared up what I meant by predicting and reading, I hope you've gained a better understanding of what I was trying to convey in my comment. Also I don't have a great memory of neither my comment nor the video, so please excuse my forgetfulness if I made any mistakes. ⚠TL;DR I agree with your defintions of read and predict. I only used them the way I did because the author of the video doesn't have the best definitions of reading and predicting, and this comment was written towards him and not anyone else. Now, to move on to the second half of your comment: *""NOW if you were only PREDICTING enemy movement, you will miss MUCH less on enemy strafes than if you were reacting. It’s just how humans are." - this is a sentence that I found off, cause it implies that if you just guess where people are going you're going to hit them more often compared to just reacting to their movement. Which isn't true at all. Guessing is just guessing, it's the most unreliable way to do anything. Again, I just could be arguing semantics and I apologize if it seems that way. And maybe you see "predict" and "read" as the exact same thing, I simply do not."* I actually disagree with you on this one. As I previously stated, humans have a slow reaction time. It's just the way we are. It's impossible for us to react to and counter enemy movements consistently without missing a whole bunch. Every human is living proof of this. If you watch an AIMLABS or KOVAAK's tracking scenario where the player is ONLY reacting to the target's movements, and not making ANY reads or predictions, you'll find that they will miss a whoooole lot of bullets. Whereas if you watch the same scenario where the player is predicting the target's movements, you will find that they will miss a lot less bullets, especially if the target is moving at a similar speed as the targets found in a real game. This is because when an enemy strafes erratically (As people do) you'll find yourself constantly flicking your mouse (or joystick) to try and track the opponent, and by the time you react to one movement, the other has begun, and then you find yourself in a constant cycle of sp@stically flicking from one side to the other and landing four or five bullets from an entire 30 bullet mag. When you predict an enemy's movement, you'll find yourself tracking the enemy perfectly (really well), even through their strafing movements. Now obviously you won't land 100% of all your shots, and enemies can simply not move at the time you predict they will, but you will do much much better predicting enemy movements than reacting to them (Specifically in games with a slow time to kill and high movement speed [Overwatch/Apex]). This is because if you correctly predict a movement, you will be able to predict the upcoming movement FAR FASTER than you would be able to react to it. Our brain works in such a way that it is able to compute and process so many things at incredible speed, but as soon as your brain needs to send a commant to a limb, that's where we fall short as humans. Here is a quote straight from google that supports this: "A team of neuroscientists from MIT has found that the human brain can process entire images that the eye sees for as little as 13 milliseconds." Taking into consideration that the average human reaction time is 240 (220 usually for casually gamers), we come to a conclusion that our brain can process what is happening on your screen, and predict what is going to happen next about 17x faster than you would be able to react to it. Now I know that what I'm about to say next kind of contradicts what I said previously about predictions and reads, but through enough experience fighting hundreds and hundreds of enemies, your predictions will eventually turn into reads (Especially in ranked gamemodes where you fight players of the same caliber). This is because as you fight more and more people, you witness more and more strafing patterns, and then you get better and better at countering these strafing patterns, and predicting when an enemy is going to make a specific pattern. So this eventually becomes a read, because every prediction you make on an enemy's movement is going to be an educated guess based on previous experiences with thousands of different players. Now apply environmental factors such as 'The enemy needs to get to the cover on his right' and 'The enemy should climb this wall to get a high ground advantage' and boom, you have amazing tracking (Obviously it's not as simple as that, but I hope you get the point). Sorry for the long comment, but I felt like you deserve my time and explanation. ⚠TL;DR - Humans can predict 17x faster than we can react, so predicting is better than reacting.

😂

glad it was helpful :D

pingu the best

by reading i mean like reading a book, where are taking in as much info as possible to inform where to place your crosshair on the enemy

If you were the opponent when would you dodge, jump, exc? Until you understand that you won’t be able to read. Honestly it takes a surprising amount of map knowledge to understand where the opponent is going to dodge to

I struggled with this a lot but now that ive played a lot more I think I understand. when youre truly focused on a target, the velocity, angle, etc are immediately obvious, just as obvious as how far away it is. if you cant tell how a target is moving you are simply not focused enough on it. i still struggle a lot with focus in games because i cant see through visual clutter, but when i am able to focus it's crazy how much easier it is. best way to train focus in my opinion is target switching or clicking where you have to rapidly shift focus between targets, you can tell when you get lazy and use peripheral vision vs proactively focusing on the next target

Glad it was helpful!

😂

what is the limiting factor for your mouse space? the desk or actual pad?

@@VoltaicAim both. I have only about one extra inch of space that is not covered by my mousepad.

@@meburningslime that's a shame :( i think most people have the desk space to use a standard 490x420mm pad. you could try to play like rapha where you put your keyboard in your lap to give you some more mouse space. we also use a lot of footage from irrpa on this channel; exceptionally strong mechanical player who uses like 10-20cm/360 in most games

@@VoltaicAim Unfortunately, I am using an Alienware 15 R3 which has an integrated keyboard. I still like external keyboards much more so I do have one on my lap but it helps none with size. Still, I have tried the techniques shown in your video and they do improve my aim in a handful of cases such as quickscoping and shooting while falling. Overall aim is mostly negatively effected when not yanking my mouse around though, as I have gotten fairly accurate at doing so. Thanks for the help, and any other thoughts or advice will be welcome. I appreciate you responding greatly.

@@meburningslime without knowing your setup or budget it's hard to give recommendations on desk space, but in terms of peripherals, lower friction mousepads and lighter mice can make high sensitivity a lot more controllable. low friction making it so can put minimal force into starting any mouse movement or microadjustment, letting you make small movements effortlessly. lighter mouse so it can be more of a precise instrument, since you are forced to make very fine motions.

glad we could help :D

Glad to hear that!

@@pinguefy You're amazing!

💜

You were right, fixed that :d

viscose fans dont miss nun

personally I wouldn't take that...

i'd say that's true for smooth tracking and arc reading, but not so much in any tracking scenario where the enemy can change directions unexpectedly. in which case it'd be more like good snapping technique in osu: snappiness doesn't come from forcing fast cursor movements, but being good at the slow movements and increasing them in speed over time. overly aggressive movements and going faster than your present skill can support can cause a lot of inconsistency in both types of aim.

yeah sadly it's a very difficult issue to remedy. i do believe that tension naturally arises when faced with something out of your comfort zone, whether that's an aiming, social, or clutch situation, etc. i think the answer to the aiming side of things is what i say in the video: deliberate practice to improve whatever underlying issue causes you tension, and developing an awareness (most in practice situations) of when you are tensing. but the latter two are really difficult as it's more a mental battle. learning some breathing exercises helped me take a mental reset and calm down mid fight/game, but outside of that, i took a brute force approach where i grinded aim mechanics so much that even a 50% debuff to aim skill is still enough to win most fights LOL

@@pinguefy I like that advice a lot! Thanks for the reply! I do enjoy the rush of clutches and stressful moments the most. It’s what makes me keep playing the game. Sometimes I’m aware that I’m holding down on my mouse too much that it hurts and I try to change it by doing it more lightly but it just doesn’t work. I’ll try some different mouse’s soon because the mouse is a bit bigger than me and my keyboard is smaller and cramped. My fingers and hands always end up aching and hurting after/during a game session. I’ll try to be more aware and fix it. Also I’ve tried aim training games like aim labs but it also hurts my hand. For some reason when I focus to aim it ends up hurting more than when I’m not aware and not focusing.

Don't have it on hand srry!

the better you become, the more confident you will be, and that includes comfort (as long as the discomfort isn't actually causing you actual strain in your wrist/arms/shoulders)

hello!!

Glad it helped!

The specific scenario depends on the FPS you're playing, but imagine yourself getting caught in a close-quarter fight, that's usually when people are the most tense, because it's the easiest way to die (because the enemy has less chance to miss up close): 1. Just rest your hand rest on top of your mouse, or however you usually grip the mouse, but do not attempt to move the mouse. Just let the enemy kill you AS YOU OBSERVE them. 2. Again, with a completely relaxed grip in the next close-quarter fight just observe your opponent's movement. Try to keep him on you screen (within your FOV) with your mouse this time, but do not try to actually track them with the cursor/crosshair. Do this a few times, it's very important to observe their movement. 3. Now try and track their movement with the crosshair (just center mass, not the head) while still keeping a relaxed grip. This whole time (all 3 exercises) you're not shooting. Just observing. These shouldn't take too long. Maybe a dozen fights or so. The idea is to teach your brain not to tense you up, because of the danger that comes with being in a gunfight, but rather to put you into "Focus mode" where you're trying to really read your opponent's movement. This should be more than enough to help you with grip tension. The next part is actually trying to shoot them, while you're still using a rather relaxed grip and tracking them in "focus mode". If you tense up and mess up, start flicking or your aim gets jittery go back to the previous exercises. I know it sounds stupid to just sit there and take deaths, but it's the only way to re-wire your brain to go into focus mode, if it doesn't happen naturally. All of this ONLY applies to close-quarter gunfights. For longer ranges cover and your actual aim are a bit more important. Keep in mind working on a steady aim in close-quarter will also improve your overall aim control, improving long-range fights as well. I could've made this like a 20-step tutorial, but this is just a YT comment, after all. Still hope it helps you.

@SlCKNESS_ very interesting insight. I'll definitely give this a try! Do you recomnd doing this on an exercise in like kovaak/aim lab or an actual game just kinda watching what my enemy does?

@@Savitzen Definitely in an actual game. Aim-trainers help with mouse control in a sterile environment, the opposite of what your issue seems to be. In general it's hard to get a lot (or even a little bit) of benefit from aim-trainers, unless you already know the minute specifics of why you're failing certain shots and just practicing those very specific scenarios. I don't recommend aim-trainers. Unless you're really bad at aiming and you can't get close to the aim of an "average player" OR you're top 10% aimer already and need to work on some things to push into top 1%. When I say top 10% I do mean it - that's someone who loses a "fair" fight once every 10 fights. Not the guy with 1.5 KD thinking he's a master aimer, because he's above average.

thank u!

welcome to the club haha

that is all relative to the movement of your opponent, but if you do find it easier then maybe it's a tension related thing for you, and you can try to grip looser when tracking
