I heard you say 150 units per second, isn't it more like 250?

Something players don't talk about is the anticipation required to counter strafe. counter strafing when you see an enemy is less effective than counter strafing to fight a common position.

It's kind of funny how some players might be losing aim duels purely because of their movement, when movement is something that's not really a consideration for most people in a game like Counter-Strike.

Kind of odd but I definitely struggled getting the hang of it early on 5 yrs ago or so, and now my % on leetify is consistently averaging high 80s (current period 89%, last 90%) at 2400 elo in NA. I guess it was because I trained it in aimbots with the cover walls as it felt not natural to me initially but now it is second nature without this prac. I do feel there is always room for improvement though on landing on the angle you want to and not over peeking with it.

There is no need to go down to 0. You are also very precise with low strafe numbers (like with crouch shooting) With some guns (f.e. smgs) you can even take shoots with full speed... often it s more important not to die then to make the frag...

I've been playing CS off and on for more than a decade, and I'm one of those higher ranked faceit players with lower than average counter-strafe stats. It makes sense now, even if I never noticed having bad aim on my peeks. I never thought about how I hold W+A or W+D and never counter with also the S key.

Thank you Glaze. I'll definitely try the Yprac maps. They look great to practice a bunch of things.

I knew this was a thing but it's nice to have a refresh as I have dipped in and out of CS since around 2016 recently came back and the other day I got frustrated I wasn't hitting my shots now thinking I probably was holding 'W' while going around corners. Also nice to know about a good practice workshop map as I have just stuck with super old ones from when I first got into the game and even then I usually just use deathmatch as a warm up/practice

"Why is your counter strafing so awful?" Bold of you to assume anything I do in this game isn't awful

[Its.Cube.]

You could have explained how to use the counter step. Do you just tap the opposite key, do you press it for half a second, is it a feeling that you have to get used to?

[sslum]

Great vid. Thanks for the YPRAC also this is gonna be huge for us casuals

[hyyenaA]

why dont push both keys at the same time? if i press a and then push d and not let go of a it stops with none penalty

[KingLamTV]

finally a video that makes sence of Counter Strafing, no one i asked could understand that i pressed 2 keys round a corner.

[PENTEEE]

bro i dont need that but thanks, i normally just run and shoot and headshots happen

[belair]

I wonder what the counter strafe percentage is for pros when they play their pro matches

[dylanhawkins]

just started playing cs and it would have taken me a while to figure this out. This is a game changer!

[taavetti]

I learned a 70-80 % counter strafe very early in my csgo career when I still had like 20 hours since my much experienced friends would teach me the most bizarre advanced things instead of going over the basics. nowadays it is around 85-93 % or so at around 2000 hours so not much progress but it is hard to get consistent 90+ and you don't even need that most of the time

[thesleeplesstm]

cannot find the yprac maps in workshop

[rushbdust]

so if i wanna peek LEFT I USE A+s Shout ?
