シャドーイング練習: VALORANT Tips and Tricks to get you started as a Beginner! - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

Hi everyone, my name is Kaidae and I'm a Valorant content creator.

Today I'm going to be going over the basics of Valorant

and I'll also be giving you guys some tips and tricks to help you out.

First, let me explain what the game Valorant is.

Valorant is a team-based 5v5 first-person tactical shooter.

There are many unique agents and abilities in the game as well.

Players control characters known as agents who have different abilities to use during the game.

Before we deep dive into the basics, let's go over optimizing your guys' settings.

Valorant settings can be important for improving game clarity, maximizing your performance, and finding the right balance between visibility and performance.

Different settings can help with different aspects of the game.

Messing with your settings can be super, super overwhelming at times because there are so many different options.

But what I personally did was look at the people who have played the game a lot

and kind of copied their settings and then tweaking it to my liking.

When I first started playing the game, I copied settings from my favorite pro player, TENS, which I would say is probably the best way to go about it.

Or you could also ask some of your friends who play as well.

I'm going to be introducing you guys to some of the Valorant agents.

I know it can seem a little bit daunting at times because there are quite a few agents, but we'll go over some of my personal favorites,

and then we'll deep dive more into the certain roles that each of the agents fall into.

But one of my favorites personally is Killjoy.

She's super, super fun to play, in my opinion.

Another one of my favorites would be Omen.

He's super, super cool.

He is a smoke agent.

Super cool.

I also love Viper.

Viper was actually one of the first agents

that I started playing alongside Phoenix I personally don't play him anymore

but he's still a lot of fun to play Alright everyone, now that we have all of

that out of the way I have five basic tips that can help you guys get better at Valorant Alright, so the first tip

that I have for you guys is figuring out what role works best for you

So there are four specific roles in Valorant

and I will be going over those First is duelist They like to duel Basically, so they seek out engagement they get in fights

And they also take space for their team to get in onto site second initiator These are the agents

that are going to be getting info for the team to be able to get in onto site third Controllers,

these are the smoke agents They are the ones who both help take areas of the map

and also control The pace of the game having a really

good controller player is is super super important i honestly think it's one of the most important roles

and lastly sentinels they are the ones who are the best at stalling

and trying to defend certain positions and sites so now

that i've gone over the four roles you guys can get

a better understanding of what you feel like you would fit

into a lot of beginners like to either play duelist

because obviously it's very fast paced you're taking a lot of

fights you know there's a lot of like high risk sky reward sort of situations i play sentinel

and controller those are the kind of agents

that i personally prefer to play it's a little bit more slower paced kind of work the map

that sort of situation

so now for tip number two having a basic understanding of what the agent abilities do

and it can be really daunting and confusing at times

when you are beginning

but the more you play the easier it's gonna be you're gonna run into the same agents on certain maps

and you're gonna get a feel obviously

when you first start out it might again feel a little bit overwhelming

but the more you play the better you're gonna get

and the more understanding you're gonna have over all of these agents one example

that i will give to you guys would be uh one of my mains omen he has smoke abilities

so he has two smokes he has a blind

which is super super important to help get in onto site as well

and he has a tp ability every agent has their own kit

that is unique to them having a basic The basic understanding of what each of the agents do can really, really help out when you are in a game

so you can be ready for all of the utility that will be coming your way.

The third tip that I have for you guys is communication and team play.

Communication is what creates a team based game.

It is the core of it.

It's how you guys can communicate to execute certain plans and work together to win the game.

There are a few options for communicating to your team.

The number one one that I do recommend is using your voice chat to talk to your team to communicate.

Another system that Valorant has as well, for those of you guys who don't have mics or don't feel the most comfortable using it, would be the ping system.

There's a cog wheel and you are able to communicate with your team, let them know what you wanna do, which is really, really good.

I highly, highly urge you guys to use your mics when you are playing Valorant, because at the end of the day,

using your voice is the best way to get across what you and maybe what your team also wants to do.

With that being said, There is a difference between communication and distracting communication.

When you're coming up with strategies to help out with the team, it can be really easy to get kind of carried away with talking too much.

So it's best to keep it really concise and clear and get to the point.

Also, another thing is when you are dead, if you don't have any useful information to say, it is best to stay quiet because there are a lot of people

that can get a little bit overwhelmed when there are a lot of voices while they are trying to play.

The best thing is, is that making sure

that you respect the other players

and their different playing styles as well as communication styles as well for high success rate in ranked

or swift play or unrated.

Also in communication, using callouts on maps is super, super important.

Obviously, when you're first getting started out, you're going to get a feel for things.

If you take a look at each map, there are certain areas that Valorant has labeled as well.

Sometimes the community calls them different things than it is stated.

If you are new, you can just stick to what is on the map.

For example, on Haven, there is an enemy in Garage Window.

You'd want to say, I saw one in Garage Window or I saw one Sea Long.

Being specific with where certain enemies are can be really, really helpful for teammates.

So try to keep it very concise and clear.

Try not to always overgeneralize where someone could be.

Another thing too is team play.

Obviously, there are going to be four other people in the game with you.

Trying to get along is the best virtue if you are wanting to win.

Being toxic off rip is honestly not the best way to go about it.

You want to try to be super positive and encouraging.

A team that communicates together wins together.

All right, everyone.

So for the fourth topic, I have team synergies with roles and agent abilities.

I'm going to have Tyson actually hop into a custom lobby with me

100

So we can kind of go over a few examples of what this means specifically.

101

For this, I'm going to give a few examples so you guys can get a overall idea.

102

So we're going to do Killjoy and Omen together.

103

Then we're going to do a Jet Sova.

104

And then we'll do a Fade-Raze combination.

105

So first, we are going to show you what Fade and Raze can do together.

106

Yeah, with that being said, Valorant is super, super unique in the sense

107

that there are tons of different agents and different combinations that you can do to pair together to win the game.

108

So I'm going to be playing Raze and Tyson is going to play Fade.

109

And we're going to give you guys a few examples of what you can do to pair these two in particular together.

110

The most common one being the Raze Nade and the Fade Tether.

111

The Fade Seize, what it does is when you throw it towards the direction of an enemy, it will keep them in a certain area

112

and decay their hp for a set period of time

113

so with that being said

114

when you combine the c's at the same time as you

115

throw a nade all right two one it's a deadly combination

116

or another really good one fade ult when you throw it and it hits an I'm an enemy.

117

All right.

118

Face your fear.

119

Face you guys.

120

Face you.

121

The audio, I can't hear anything and I'm also decayed for a certain period of time.

122

The really good thing is, is that you can combine that with an ability like the Raze Rocket.

123

Boom.

124

Deadly combination.

125

So the next combination that I have for you guys is Killjoy and Omen.

126

Specifically on this map on Haven, Your Killjoy and your Omen will be working together on C site to hold it down.

127

So I'm going to get into what Omen and Killjoy can do together to hold down a site on defense.

128

So we are defending right now and we hear enemies walking up C long.

129

The Omen is going to smoke off the choke point.

130

Once that happens, we either are going to hold the smoke or, which in most cases a lot of Killjoy players do,

131

is play a little bit more passive in back and let their util work for them.

132

We hear them getting ready to run out of the smoke.

133

What I am going to do is ask for Tyson.

134

Tyson, Omen player, could you please paranoia?

135

See long.

136

With that pairing while I hear them, I'm going to double pop my mollies.

137

Either they're going to be fully blind and running in, or while they're running into the molly,

138

I can also shoot them.

139

And that is how Omen and Kyojoy can work together to hold down a site.

140

So now we are on C side attack, everybody.

141

This is Sova.

142

He is a initiator.

143

He is the one who gets info for the duelists to be able to make space for the team.

144

So they are going to be darting back site.

145

And with Jet, Jet is the duelist.

146

They are the ones that make space for the team.

147

Get in, take the fights, right?

148

So what we're going to do is our Sova is going to do the dart.

149

Basically tags anybody who is within line of sight as you can see these lines everywhere

150

And that tells Jett where certain players could be

151

So I'm going to proctor my dash and my sova is going to dart I'm going to smoke and dash in

152

The reason it's really strong is because Jett

153

when she dashes in basically creates space

154

But since Jett is dashing into her own smoke It creates

155

like a safe space for Jet to sit inside where enemies have to choose to kind of get lucky

156

and spam the jet through the smoke.

157

The Sova, because his dart gives wall hacks, the Jet can safely sit in the smoke and shoot people that are scanned outside of it.

158

Yes.

159

And that's why it's a really good combo.

160

And it's annoying for the defenders as well because they either have to choose to kill the Jet,

161

which offsets the crosshair from all the rest of the enemies flooding in on site, or they have to pick to shoot the people who are long.

162

But with that being said, the jet could peek out and kill you.

163

All right, everyone.

164

Now we are going to get ready to move on to the last tip, which is number five, movement.

165

This is basically what differentiates Valorant from a lot of other tactical FPSs.

166

One of the most important tips that I would give to anybody who is shooting, you want to stop and shoot.

167

running and shooting most of the time is not going to be in your favor.

168

There are certain guns like the Frenzy or the Spectre

169

that will be a little bit more lenient for when you are moving and shooting.

170

But Vandal, if you run and you shoot, the spray is going to be extremely inaccurate,

171

making it really, really hard for you to be able to hit a target.

172

Another thing as well is counter strafing counter strafing is basically

173

where you strafe from side to side at the same time as you shoot

174

but it but it hits this target because you are stopping before you shoot

175

and then moving stopping before you shoot so

176

when you get really comfortable with it you will hit basically the target in the same spot

177

while you move making it really hard for the enemy to shoot you

178

but you're hitting like the dead center of them obviously i'm not the best at it

179

but But learning movement like that can make you stand out in comparison to other players.

180

Now we're going to be moving on to jiggling and jump spotting.

181

And then also kind of like the differences between the two and situationally when it's best to use it.

182

Jiggling is a quiet way to get passive information.

183

As you can see, it's Tyson jiggling this way.

184

I can only see like a little bit of his body, not his full body.

185

So you're jiggling like this to get info on where someone could possibly be.

186

it's a very quiet way to get information it's a little

187

bit more difficult for enemies to hit you in comparison to

188

fully swinging out without any information at all next would be jump spotting jump spotting is

189

when you jump around a corner

190

and this is also pretty difficult for enemies to hit you

191

but this is really really good against an operator so the reason

192

that it's against ops is because normally opers posts on the angle

193

and when you jump spots it causes the operas to have to flick

194

and hit a harder shot rather than just having to click a button

195

so they're actually gonna have to move their crosshair towards you

196

and then shoot which is definitely a lot harder than just holding the angle

197

and basically playing a reaction time test yeah keep in mind

198

tyson is very good at jump spotting yeah yeah oh okay i'll do my normal way wait that's That's actually insane.

199

And you can see me like that.

200

That actually looks insane from my POV.

201

All right, guys.

202

Now we're going to talk about when we should wide peek versus just jiggle peeking.

203

So jiggle peeking is situationally when you aren't really sure where an enemy could be.

204

So it's a good way to get info passively without making any noise.

205

As for wide peeking is when you know exactly where someone is

206

and you feel like you have a favorable 1v1 to take, that's when you wide swing out, killing the enemy.

207

And when to crouch?

208

This is a question that I actually get asked pretty often, and I've given the same answer pretty consistently.

209

But in my opinion, crouching is not the best when you take fights all of the time.

210

I would say it's situational.

211

In my opinion, if you are in a 1v2 against somebody

212

and you swing out

213

and you instantly crouch trying to go for the kill it'll be really difficult to flick to the next person

214

that would be swinging out to try to trade them right with

215

that being said in a 1v2 situation

216

or sometimes even in a 1v1 it is best to try

217

to keep your crosshair pretty level instead of just crouching right

218

off rip what crouching fundamentally does is it makes your hitbox like a bit smaller

219

but reduces the amount of movement speed you have it also

220

allows you to have a little bit more accurate shots you'll notice

221

when you're crouching your bullets go a little bit more

222

so situationally you can use it to kind of gain more accuracy

223

when you need it especially on long range fights i think

224

that crouching can be pretty decent especially with adsing

225

and crushing at the time you'll make sure your bullets mainly go straight all right the last thing

226

that we're going to talk about you guys which is obviously pretty niche but these are movement characters

227

like rays or jet the reason why jet

228

and rays are really really good and they are also very highly picked is

229

because of the amount of aerial movement

230

that they provide for the team obviously not every duelist um is going to have this and

231

that being the reason why it sets them apart it can

232

make it really really difficult for people to shoot them in the air

233

and this is why they are really really good as well

234

that being said you can actually practice movement with rays like the double satcheling ability

235

which makes her a little bit more difficult to track in the air

236

or jet when she's up in the air and gliding

237

and shooting you with her ultimate

238

which are her knives all right everyone this is the end of this video i hope

239

that this video was helpful for those of you you guys who are new to the game

240

or even some of you guys who have been playing for a while.

Bye.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
