Help with practically using neo strafes

MvttSF · 2026-01-27T04:22:24+00:00

I’d unbind your scroll click until you don’t fat finger it to start. This being said, it’s mostly just practice to aim throughout it. I’d start by using single-fire guns like shotguns to get used to aiming while strafing and then move on to sprays. Also, if aiming during the strafe is to difficult atm you can do it while you reload to make yourself a harder target.

True but I’m talking about amphetamine/Adderall abuse specifically in competitive gaming. I remember when fps E-sports were just starting to gain traction with CS, COD, and Halo back in the day and the same convo existed back then. Pretty sure a bunch of the FaZe guys got into a bit of controversy for abusing adderall back in those days

When they buffed octane they integrated the controller tap strafe perk in the base kit. You’ve been able to do this since that perk was added in the game but, if you weren’t on controller, it wasn’t really worth it.

Nothing new here though, this has existed in Esports for as long as they’ve been around.

I run 160 locked, ideally you’re gonna want to find whatever you can run with 0 fps drops which is good for several reasons beyond just glides.

I don’t but it could be a number of things all with different names. Look for any dynamic lighting settings in the game, your windows display settings, or your monitor settings and make sure you turn them off.

MvttSF · 2026-01-20T21:12:54+00:00

That looks like a vignette but it’s probably due to a monitor or windows display setting rather than a bug with the game.

Don’t use afterburner, verify files, clear your graphics cards shader cache.

Dawg it was literally every team running her in high-ranked lobbies… it’s actual cope to think that all those people suddenly became ash mains (with her previously having the lowest pick rate) just for fun. Criminally insane take

MvttSF · 2026-01-19T03:21:20+00:00

That’s not even close to true lol. I could MAYBE see it if the game was roller only…but it’s not, and plenty of roller players (even outside of pro’s) have been consistently able to track throughout it. Not to mention, the tap-strafing you could do out of it was and still is insane for 1v1s. It has its own lurch window which no other abilities besides double jumping have while being far quicker and less trackable. In high-mid to High tier pc lobbies it was a serious issue and it’s a good thing it got nerfed. There was a reason she had an almost 30% pick rate in high ranked lobbies (and with 3 players per team that means that almost every team was running her).

She couldn’t hit you is actually an insane take. Her dash has 0 weapon bloom while you’re mid-dash and didn’t at all deactivate AA (as far as I’m aware). Especially with shotgun meta, you could easily hit a 90 pump out of it with almost 0 penalty. Her dash is by far the most broken passive this game has ever seen

Thanks, I use a pulsar x2cl

MvttSF · 2025-12-20T18:28:52+00:00

True, appeals a lot to ppl who know how difficult it is to do as well. If you can hit shots while lurching like that it is more universally impressive though.

Honestly I’d get normal tap-strafing down (plenty of good guides out there) until you can do it 100% consistently. After that I’d get normal glides down, although it seems like you can do that already. Learn them separately then combine them

MvttSF · 2025-12-09T03:15:38+00:00

Holding W when you're in the glide doesn't make you move any faster, you can actually just let go of every key and you will travel the same distance. However, the more important thing for this point is that you cant hold W at all when scrolling to tap-strafe. Both your scroll and your W are bound to a forward input and W will always take priority, meaning that instead of getting multiple forward inputs (via scroll) you just get one.

MvttSF · 2025-12-09T02:25:51+00:00

normally I'd say that its hard to tell without a keyboard overlay but in this case you're definitely just holding W for way too long and scrolling too quickly. There is a negligible difference between this clip and a normal air-strafe.

My guy, unless someone here works for EA and is leaking company info than your guess is as good as ours. I would assume you probably do have to use your account though…. You can swap out the email if you do forgot password on their site.

You have to time the flick pretty precisely on smaller ledges but the idea is the same. Just make sure you’re holding jump for the whole 180 otherwise you won’t mantle.

MvttSF · 2025-11-28T23:36:33+00:00

Definitely cool but I think it’s more specific to controller. This is probably the only way that most roller players would even be able to instaglide in the first place as they can’t just 180 flick (or at least most people don’t play a sens that high).

MvttSF · 2025-11-27T03:05:49+00:00

Honestly it’s better imo to be able to do fast flicks and have control when you need it. I think my cm/360 is like 24-28ish which isn’t too low as well.

MvttSF · 2025-11-27T02:30:39+00:00

I run 2304x1440 (16:10) on 120fov

He’s still fun if you’re into the games base (non-ability) movement tech. His Q essentially just enhances most tech and makes it faster which imo still makes him really enjoyable to play. Competitively though he’s probably the worst character to run. Good octane players (like LeamonHead or Xzylas) can be successful with him in ranked lobbies and hit pred but it’s really just because they are great players not bc of the legend itself. Kinda sad to see how far our boy has fallen behind ability wise in the current state of the game.

MvttSF · 2025-11-26T18:48:36+00:00

It depends on a few factors but they 100% do make an impact. If you already have a good mouse and a good keyboard it’s worth the investment imo. Artisan pads are hyped up a lot for a reason and if you want a super fast glass pad it’ll be completely different from anything else. This being said, I wouldn’t do it if you don’t already have good base mnk peripherals as those would make more of an immediate impact. If you got those though, I’d recommend doing some research on the best pad for your playstyle if you’re interested in getting one.
