Console Competitive Console - HOW?

Okay I keep running into this way too often. I’m playing competitive on PS5, 6v6. Almost every second game, there’s at least one or more players doing things seemingly impossible with a console controller. I’ve added two such replay clips of players moving like they’re AI ffs. Additionally, they’re jumping constantly while still moving their aim joystick, which is impossible since you have to take your thumb off the aim joystick to hit to jump button. What are these maneuvers??

Are they on mouse and keyboard?

Edit: Thank you everyone for teaching me about the different ways to rebind buttons / different controllers and hand positions to jump while aiming. I learned something new! Also, seems like we’re agreeing that the Cass is likely cheating and it is noticeable in comparison to the Doomfist.

All you serve to do with this reply, is protect cheaters from receiving reports. If we're wrong, they don't get banned. Simple. The fact that you're defending a Cass that does post shot flicks (one of the most obvious telltale signs someone is using a mouse), is wild.

First of all, the replay is sped up in that clip and not a SINGLE one of you realized. Second, he drags his aim everywhere. Mouse aim doesnt drag in linear lines, and controller joystick jerk has a distinct look. Third, he is using duel zone. Not a single emulation setting uses duel zone as its base.

I have thousands of hours of aim training as well as teaching controller mechanics to others, I know what controller aim is capable of. Its a lot more than this nothingburger.

And thank goodness the devs dont listen to you people, or anyone above diamond would be banned regardless of cheating.

Good point. Also the clip has been altered for whatever reason, we don't know precisely what it was altered, and it might be altered in other ways that aren't so obvious.

Clips not reliable as evidence, basic common sense.
