Tension management

Hi guys,

I know this topic has been discussed to death on here, but I haven’t been able to find any answers on previous threads at a cursory glance.

I watched the viscose video on tension management, and whilst it was informative on theory, it gave little actionable advice as to how to actually improve the skill of tension management. I know the tension budgets were discussed, but what happens when during a game or drill there is a period that is epically taxing on just one muscle group?

What can I do to actually improve my skill of tension management? Drills to play, ways to think, etc.

Thanks

Extremely high HZ monitors 600hz+

Hi all!

Kovaaks is a very basic game and extremely easy to hit high frames easily

Many peoples say you can’t tell the difference between 240 to 300 to 600 blah blah, diminishing returns all that

Is there any people on here who have a 600hz monitor or higher and can tell an impactful difference, as I think Vaaks would be one of few games where you could really utilise a monitor like that and hit its refresh rate easily!

The new ASUS 1080p 24” 720hz OLED is looking very temping and it made me think how smooth that could potentially make tracking scenarios look, and in general be fully utilised to its max in a game like Vaaks!!

General sensitivity (cm/360)

Hey everyone,

I have a question regarding mouse sensitivity. I always knew I played on quite high sensitivity, but recently noticed that it is more extreme than I thought. For the past years I have always used a DPI of 1600 with a sensitivity of 15 in Overwatch (other games matching this), which seems to equate to roughly 5.8 cm/360°.

I don't feel like my aim is terrible, I reached Master rank in Overwatch last season as an example, also playing aim-heavy heroes sometimes. However, I also like playing Apex and noticed how my aim is really suffering there.

The high sensitivity probably has something to do with me aiming mostly out of my wrist, which I find way more comfortable than regularly lifting up my mouse to reposition.

Do any of you also use such a value? Would you say aiming with just the wrist isn't viable to improve aim? I would be happy to just hear your opinions

High vs Low Sens on Glass pad

I want to know your thoughts on if I should train high or low sens. Yes, I do know that sens doesn’t necessarily matter, but I am in a weird state of limbo of how I want to proceed to train with my current sens.

Right now I am on a ~high sens (high relative to glass), and It feels good to be able to 180 or use a bit more of a my wrist, where as lower sens, feels I have more control but jeez, I hate how much effort goes into swiping in any direction. Especially for the games I play like overwatch, delta force, and finals.

and its hard to interpret because low sens I do maybe a bit better on my kovaaks scenarios, but high sens I have high scored on scenarios and I don’t feel like I have to think as much with my movements.

So should I stick with high sens or keep trying low sens?
Could it be that I am predominantly a wrist aimer?

What are your thoughts and any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Arm position

Is my arm/shoulder high enough when I go any higher I lose a lot of stability and it feels awkward also hurts my shoulder.

Yes ik I'm fat... Working on that 😂

What does progress look like?

Hi,

I'm trying to improve my aim running some Viscose scenarios. I practice 15 min everyday. But on these scenarios, my performance is looking like the graph above. My personal best was on Oct 1st, and since then I never replicated that result. Other scenarios I play (cloverRawControl Easy 80% Speed and Controlsphere Far, Far Larger 90%) are showing similar patterns.

This might be a normal behavior, i.e, if I expand the timescale and keep practicing I will see improvement, but I'm really unsure if that's the case. Maybe I've hit a plateau? What do your graphs look like and when do you identify that you need to take action versus just keep doing the things you're doing?

1 week of progress!

Thought I might share my progress here, so we can trade information, tips and tricks for improving!
Since I can't practice every day consistently, I treated 7 training sessions as 1 week (rough span of 10 days).

First pic is day 1, second is now!

Working on tracking seems to have improved my clicking ability a lot, but the tracking itself has been hard, any tips for that?

Playing easier scenario that mimic ingame vs harder scenarios for improvement?

I've been grinding viscose s2, mostly the Tracking and Flick Tech category since my game is tracking heavy.

I'm around Viridian for most of the scenarios but i keep coming back to play the easier benchmark pushing better accuracy coz it mimics in-game movement more, since medium/hard bench kinda move too fast (compared to in-game).

I've heard of progressive overload and u gotta push ur limit on hard scenario to actually improve. Is me not pushing myself to play harder scenario actually nerfing my training?

how to maintain a decent rate of improvement with little time to hit the vaaks?

im a recent grad and have finally obtained a fulltime job

im very grateful, as some of you may know the job market is pretty difficult but this unfortunately hinders my time to play, as now i have anywhere from 5-30ish minutes to aim train, an hour if im lucky

im curious if yall have any tips to slow down my transition to a washed 9-5er even with limited time

Trying to understand posture

Hi all, I've been trying to figure how to sit in a way that makes mouse movement easy and comfortable.

I've been watching posture guides, but most of them are showing me that my desk is likely too high, since I can't comfortably relax my shoulders. However, I also see that many of the best aimers have a desk that appears too high, and compensate by putting their arm out further and having minimal shoulder rotation. But there are also many people who don't seem to worry about any of this, and somehow have insane aim to the point where I wonder if this is cope. For example, the younger gamers without the funds to change their setup. How can they find a good and repeatable position to aim? It feels like it is only me!

If I try to put my arm out further, when I make arm movements it begins to pull back in until I have it next to body and my shoulder is hunched up again.

It almost seems like it's good to either have a very high desk which forces you to widen your posture more and takes more of your weight, or have a low desk which allows you to relax your shoulders, instead of having one which is just slightly too high and you can't do either.

What does confuse me especially is that some professional gamers who are much shorter than me have confirmed their desk height to be the same or higher than mine, and yet don't widen their posture and they have relaxed shoulders. How is this possible?

Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice? I've been dealing with this for years and cannot seem to find a comfortable way to play/aim train.

Weird floatz mouse feel that only occurs typically after hours of gaming and resolves itself with a PC restart

I have this weird problem where eventually I can bet that my mouse will start feeling floaty. It's not a hardware problem, I have a brand new PC that runs super crisp, 240 FPS low frametime no packetloss or anything. It's 100% not placebo since I can notice a night and day difference right away after restarting my PC.

I tried:

- restarting the game (usually doesn't help)
- uninstalling Logitech GHUB
- fully charging my GPro Superlight (thought it's maybe a low battery problem)
- changing USB Ports for my mouse
- resetting graphics drivers with Win +Ctrl + Shift + B
- using RAMMap
- checking if my Hz changed to 60 from my max. 144hz I can use, nope it's still on 144hz

What will work 99% of the time is one or max 2 PC restarts, then it's all crisp again and my mouse feels super smooth.

I don't know if anybody has had experienced something similar but it's getting really annoying.

High lvl Aimers needed!!!

Hi!

I poured my everything...the experience from 6 years of exclusively playing shooter games, my almost 1yr of aim training, my real life career experience (business transformation, root-cause analysis, process improvement, and operational excellence), researching online, researching with AI (i did it the correct way, and only accepted credible sources) into creating this project.

Over 800+ hrs was spent doing all the above. What's the project? It's a system designed to help us diagnose ourselves to a deeper lvl, find our biggest aim weakness - zoomed in to the mechanical subset lvl - and train that exact subset (designed to apply to all lvls from beginner to Mattyow). It's a project that i think when fully completed (90% complete now) could revolutionize aim knowledge as we know it. But I need high lvl aimers to proof check my system!! I already had mattyow check some of it and he liked what he saw initially, but he was too busy irl to continue with me. Read below to understand system better (infact this solves a perceived limitation some benchmark systems have):

Example:

3 people can realize from doing benchmarks that they are Diamond in reactive tracking but Jade in everything else. Benchmarks tell you what you are weak in, but not WHY you are weak in it. And those 3 likely have completely different weaknesses causing the same "result".

One of them may struggle at velocity matching, the other struggles with tension control, and the 3rd struggles with direction change stability. Each of these needs completely different training. My project catches those exact weaknesses and gives a progressive training plan that tackles those same weaknesses (Scaled in difficulty to the player's rank) all for FREE.

What I am looking for: high lvl aimers (preferably between grandmaster - Celestial lvl) who would be down to proof check some of the logic i have in the system as well as help me complete it (my biggest challenge to fully complete this project is something i cannot do on my own without a VERY high lvl aimer helping me!)

There is still a lot more depth not explained here, like how the system works and the 35 subset framework i developed that decomposes aim into specific underlying mechanical failure points and more...but i will leave those for later!

EDIT: After reading some comments i feel like i have to clarify: there is NO AI involved in anything this system does! How the system works: Person fills a well-thought out and tested 2-3 min questionnaire (that only gets even better with time), they get a result based on their inputs on what seems to be their biggest issue. That issue gets explained to them in detail along with 2 drills that tackle the main subset of that issue (scaled to their rank). They also get a cheat sheet that explains all the other possible aim profiles with common execution errors and misconceptions so that when they read it they can relate to it with almost 100% certainty. Then they can join discord and ask for a 30 day progressive plan (free) and they receive their 30 day plan along with a pdf that explains their aim profile with its subset at a much deeper level so that they understand it logically and know what to do on their own after the 30days finish! If you want to try it yourself check out the link in my bio (search smart aim method in tiktok/youtube/insta) and it takes you to the questionnaire. Or u can just click below if u want shortcut: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfbFpzO-H0M1VfLfZa1DpTlsk-U068Ap3fOryEz30r37zBTAQ/viewform?usp=dialog

New to Kovaak and wanting to learn

Hi all, as the title says, I am new to Kovaak but have tried SteelSeries and Aimlabs before a bit. I want to really improve at Siege but don't know where to start. I see people saying the beginner benchmarks are bad, and I don't know what to do or use for Siege. Any help would be great. I am also trying to figure out a good mouse sensitivity. I use an Aerox 3 wireless (Can be wired) and usually play games at 3200 DPI, but I see people say that it's bad to play at such a high DPI. And yes, I know it's all relative to the person, but I just want to hear people's thoughts and whatnot, and any help you all can provide. Thanks!
