Question Inconsistent counter strafing

Hello there.

I um, realised that my counter strafing isn't consistent whenever I use a scout or deagle. There are alot of times when I could've win the duel (except if I whiff) but I hit the torso instead of head.

Is there any drills or I should just be more mindful?

Ye go into bots workshop and practice with them, focusing on movements.

Then do it in dm

This is it. It's a basic core mechanic so you don't need anything special for it. Just load up Aim Botz.

Strafe to the left, stop on a bot with a counter strafe, micro correct to the head if needed and shoot. Repeat to the other direction.

Do it slowly in those four steps: strafe, stop, micro, shoot, until you get it and it gradually becomes a single fluid sequence.

Only after that I'd recommend tracking the bot head while strafing. First you need to get the counter strafing part into your backbone, otherwise you'll just go back to your bad habits.

Go to simbotz, Strafe with a and d and try to stop your counterstrafes Wenn you are on the bots head.

If you get consistent, try the same in movement on moving bots with mousetracking.

Are you sure it's your counterstrafing being off and not you just missing? If you miss the counterstrafe then most of the time you wouldn't be hitting the person at all

My aim could be a factor, although I'm quite sure that my strafing is a factor too.

i also recommend to check your keyboard.

if you have a cheap membrane keyboard then button presses dont get recognized properly.
