1
So you watched my last video and learned how to improve your aim.
2
But what's the point of having insane aim if you can't even move properly?
3
Movement is just as important as aim.
4
And in this video, I'm going to show you some of the best movement techniques you can use to outplay your opponents,
5
dodge their attacks, and win more fights.
6
So if you want to take your PvP to the next level, let's get into it.
7
Long stropping.
8
With this technique, you're basically trying to bet your opponent's aim.
9
Start moving in one direction to make them think you're going that way.
10
As soon as they adjust their aim and switch towards you, quickly change direction and go to the other way.
11
Keep repeating this to throw off their aim and make yourself harder to hit.
12
The key is to not change direction randomly.
13
Wait until you see your opponent adjusting their aim, then switch direction.
14
For this technique you need to pay close attention to your opponent's aim.
15
The moment you notice their aim moving towards one side, immediately switch to the opposite side.
16
Then as soon as they adjust their aim and try to follow you, switch directions again.
17
The goal is to constantly react to your opponent's aim and make it difficult for them to keep their crosshair on you.
18
The difference between long and short straffing is that in long straffing you stay in one direction for longer.
19
and only switch when your opponent commits to tracking you.
20
It's more about betting their aim.
21
And in short strapping you switch direction much more quickly based on your opponent's aim.
22
It's more about reacting to their movements.
23
Spacing.
24
Spacing is basically using S -taping to create more distance between you and your opponent.
25
This makes you harder to beat while giving you more control over the fight.
26
It also gives you a better opportunity to land easy ground combos since you have more room to react and position yourself.
27
You can also use crouch to take less knockbacks which makes you harder to get air combo.
28
But crouch can also be used offensively.
29
When your opponent is in the air, crouching can make them take more knockback making it easier for you to air combo them.
30
Be careful not to spam crouch and use it at the right moment.
31
Here are a few simple ways you can practice and improve your movement.
32
Fast 2.
33
Parkour It helps you get more comfortable with your movement and improves your overall control.
34
Another way is to join a private lobby,
35
spawn a monk like golem or skeleton and try to hit it with your fist without getting hit yourself.
36
This is great for practicing your dodging and movement.
37
You can also join 1v1 simulator and fight the board trainer and focus on dodging its attack while still hitting it.
38
Try to focus more on your movement rather than just attacking.
39
And lastly, PvP against real players.
40
You can have all the knowledge in the world but without actual experience,
41
it won't mean much fighting real players is the best way to put everything you've learned into practice
42
and learn how to react to different play styles.
43
And that's pretty much everything you need to know to improve your movement in PvP.
44
If you found this video helpful, make sure to practice these techniques in your games.
45
Don't try to learn everything at once.
46
Just focus on one technique at a time and eventually they will become natural.
47
And if you haven't watched my aim guide yet, Make sure to check it out.
48
Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
