I use to move the reticule and sucked w/ it. It's all about the strafe, i started using it a while ago and did much better but im not the best. Just put the aimer on their head and strafe.

no, youre an idiot, crouching while you move makes you move slow and its hard to miss the head

The only time I've found that crouching helps is when you're standing right next to the person. Otherwise it doesn't do a whole lot.

my other account, if you are gonna send me an FR, send it to this account and my Main GT.

just be unpredictable. mix up long and short strafes left to right, triangle, circle, z, it all works, it's just personal preference.

EDIT: crouching does less an less the farther away you are from your opponent.

Boiler Up!!
Go WINGS!!
Go Lions!!

grenades!!!!! I usually try to throw on then get my head down until it goes off and then pop up for the easy single headshot. With no nades I try to strafe while closing in so they can't just sit and shoot.

Usually, if I am playing with people that seem like they are new at the game, I strafe left to right, occasionally right to left. If playing against an experienced player, they know all the usual strafes and jumps, so they expect them. So I just run directly at them. They don't expect it, so it works almost every time.

I've tried basically everything. It's good to test stuff out and get a feel for it, but after a while it kinda messed up my BR and I was thinking too much instead of fighting.

Now, I strafe to the left, then the right, fake I'm strafing left and move right again (sorry if that's confusing LOL) It throws people off most of the time.

I've tried circle strafing, it's ok in mid range fights. I don't really do Z strafe that often. Crouch strafe can work sometimes, but only in really close quarters.

It's always better to strafe "quicker" and shorter in close combat, and wider in long range combat. At least, that's what I've experienced. Jumping throws 'em off too, but I only do that when I'm down a shot (good players aren't normally thrown off by jumps, but I try it anyway.)

Some people say having a good strafe is more important than accuracy. Still trying to figure that one out for myself.
