The plot of the same scenario was crazy ngl

[Toru_FPS]

if you guys ever need clips on what NOT to do just lmk i got you

[temets]

why did u blur my face out at 4:06 am I that ugly

[Ripafreticc]

Jesus. This is the most accurate video ESPECIALLY for people who genuinely are at a level of aim and skill but still struggle and can't really understand why. I just sent this all of my friends lol.

The game at 1:32 is called Gunfire Reborn for those wondering

[strafeqt]

The screen updating to the refresh rate was such a clean edit holy

[doloadventures]

I'm so glad this video got put on my recommended. Lots of basic things that I haven't thought about in a long time and now have a new perspective on. TY voltaic

When you showed 2 players playing pilltrack I instantly noticed that something was off. I could follow the targets with my eyes but the "erratic" movement of the 2nd player made it harder. A very good point was made here. If you play a game with a longer time to kill, you sometimes can do a reset. What I do is to swipe my mouse to the target, lift it and put in my deafult (most comfortable and neutral) position and go on from there. This does take some time and is very dependable on the situation but it is a physical and mental reset for me.

[DenyingConstant]

I saw the opening scene and recognized your voice and immediately thought, "Is this a Pinguefy video?". Awesome to see you're still making videos.

[MekaniQ]

The beginning of this video felt so relatable to me 🥲 I feel constantly stressed and I lose my focus so I always play worse so that ruins my confidence even more; I appreciate the video though, good job Voltaic (and Pinguefy for that matter ❤)!

[ish]

I felt like once you pointed out movement reading i got conscious of it instead of just focusing on my crosshair. The less predicting part help too. Thanks a lot!

[Fang]

love this video, the gameplay, soothing music, and calm voice exemplifies 'smooth aim'.

[sondernfy]

I was a VT Platinum II, almost a Complete even (had a few Gold and Diamond scores) in 2022. Watching these videos brought me back to those days. Thank you, Voltaic <3

[beolast]

this is great, i would always wonder why my aim is so great some days and off the other. thank you for this video.

[ItsStorm]

insanely good video, hauntr clips and more were all great references to what was being mentioned to visually see good technique🐐

[frostfuchs]

Brooo the moment i heard that professor Layton musik i was sent back to my childhood. This was one of my first ever games i received as a present with my 3ds

[Cringe]

Thus isn't the answer for everyone, but I had trouble with consistent good aim. I could tell I had potential but I couldn't tell what the issue was. After using an aim trainer to focus on figuring out my bad habits, I realized I didn't properly track the target with my eyes. This would cause me to aim where I was looking without realizing I wasn't looking directly at the enemy, which caused me to miss flicks as my eyes would lock on the player but after locking they didn't track and o flicked to where the player was. After I really focused on properly moving my eyes consistently it fixed my issues.

[Guarrow]

Honestly I can hardly admit they're on the same scenario lmao, the movement of the target just seems so much different that's actually crazy
I guess that explains why I can aim better when I stop for a brief moment

[janogx]

I can attest to that, at times I am so confident I pull out insane shots and games on Valorant, and then I get my off days where my confidence drops and I miss shots like I am still on Bronze/Silver.

This is a great video! Thanks for the tips I really love how this video was put together to help us understand in simple terms why smoothness is so key to having good aim
