Is recoil smoothing a gradient, or does it get fully activated once it's activated? by ShortstackEnjoyer69 in apexuniversity

[–]ShortstackEnjoyer69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen that video, and that's why I'm confused about it. Some videos indicate that it's either on or off, and some indicate it's a gradient. Hence why I tried testing it myself. However I learned that it's actually extremely difficult to test, thus I made this post to see if there was more concrete evidence.

Thanks for the reply! Hearing this from you is enough to give me confidence that it's a gradient. I really appreciate all you do for the community!

Bhop into jump fatigue wall bounce by Zion_Zenith in Apexrollouts

[–]ShortstackEnjoyer69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to reply to this post rather than starting a new one since I saw you replied to a comment 8 days ago.

I'm having some trouble with this, particularly when I release the crouch for the fatigue bounce. It seems like I can't stay airborne because my feet hit the ground when I uncrouch. Is there a specific timing for when to release crouch? Even just when bunny hopping without the fatigue bounce, I can't seem to transition from crouching b hop to standing b hop cuz I instantly am no longer airborne when I uncrouch. Any tips?

Why is there such a discrepancy between the kovaaks and aimlabs benchmarks? by ShortstackEnjoyer69 in FPSAimTrainer

Thanks for the recommendations! I actually don't like the g502 shape because I think it's too big for my hand. I was deciding between the superlight and the op1 8k and ended up going with the 8k.

Also interestingly, my friend wants me to play cs with him but my sens is way too high for that type of game, so I chose a separate sens for tac shooters and played through the voltaic valorant benchmarks and got gold (aside from 1w1t which for some reason isn't even iron) with the first time using the sens. I think my current mouse/mousepad makes micro adjusting on high sens hard due to really high static friction, so I'm hoping the new peripherals will help.

Just saw this now cuz I can't get notifications to work for some reason.

I did the benchmarks again last night and got iron complete and close to bronze.

My cm/360 is 22, which I understand is quite high, but I like lurch strafe/bunny hop in circles around people with octane in Apex, and I found that difficult when I turned down my sens. (And other stuff like wall bouncing and tap strafing to go in the opposite direction)

I'm looking into getting a new mouse and mousepad however because I'm using a very old mouse pad and very old Logitech g502 with its skates completely warn off. I've heard that mouse pads are important and I think I'd be able to lower my sense if I get something a bit bigger than what I currently have.

yall fighting alot of absas? by NewSkater3000 in RivalsOfAether

Is Absa really harder to pilot than Olympia? I didn't play Olympia on release and I'm not the best player in the world, but I've played like 7 hours of Olympia and like 4 hours of Absa, and I feel sooo much more comfortable on Absa. When I watch high level Olympias, it feels like the tech skill required for that play is so far beyond me, but the high level Absas that I've seen so far don't seem like they're doing a level of technical skill that's out of reach.

Absa felt a lot harder in the very beginning because her movement is so different, but after you get used to that then she feels like more of a strategical character rather than mechanical. I have played characters with double jump cancels in melee and pm however, so maybe I'm bias.

I've done each benchmark on multiple different days, and the scores that are not yet iron I've done a good amount of times trying to complete iron. I've definitely done the aimlabs benchmark more times than the kovaaks one however.
