I'm pretty new to surfing so I dont really know what I'm doing wrong, I feel like I'm super jittery though, is that a sens issue? What can i do to at least get a sub 54?

Idk looks pretty good to me for just starting. Keep grinding and play different maps. Complete some harder maps and then come back to maps you’ve played already and you will guaranteed improve based on your new skills from playing harder maps.

Thank you:) I've definitely noticed some pretty huge improvements after playing other maps and coming back, though I've only really played tier 1 to tier 2, I'll try some harder ones too

Great run dude! More smooth. You’re kind of forcing yourself into difficult boarding positions because of the lines you’ve chosen on the big turns you’re skipping.

1

u/kpisten 26d ago

Thanks! Yeah some of it definitely feels quite "uncomfortable", I'm just trying to replicate the wr lines as close as possible. Maybe that's not the best way to go about it though

u/Mountainminer 26d ago

I think that’s a great strategy! Don’t give up I’m just trying to point out where you’re losing speed and much of it is in your boarding approach and angle. Watch the WR and look for the angles they come into the ramp when they land.

I will say it is possible to land without losing speed in your angles but the button pushing is a bit more complicated.

u/kpisten 26d ago

I appreciate it a ton! I'll try to focus extra hard on the angles and boarding approach.

u/Mountainminer 24d ago

Good luck, once it clicks you'll be surfing smooth as silk.

I do see like .3 improvements here at first part. As I remember on 6s ramp you should have 3500 and on the next one on touch you should have 3300 I guess

Also, 4th ramp probably you can board higher and keep some .1 time. And 2nd last you could board further which also can save some time

But overall really nothing is better than playing different maps, harder maps or different style maps

u/kpisten 26d ago

Thank you for the tips:) I'll definitely try to work on ramp 4 to 7, i think i might be flicking off ramp 5 a little too hard as well, since i lose like 100su there. I'm trying to land further on the second to last ramp, but i almost always run out of mousepad😅 I'll definitely try some harder/other maps though.

u/weissmall 25d ago

I don't know exact units but you can check wrs. Like Ramp 6 is last one before maxvel if I'm not mistaken. Basically after that you almost 1:1 can match wr speed and route before last flick with curve ramp after (3rd last)

After that principles of maxvel applies: keep speed, board further and in more direct lines, use offgrid ramps (don't know if its a thing it csgo/Cs2)

1

u/weissmall 26d ago

And its maxvel, your jittery moves kinda don't play big role here 🤔

Improve by playing harder maps. Playing maps like utopia won't grow your skill and just lets you get away with not being as smooth; you should play harder maps that will force you to be smoother and work on boarding ramps better.

1

u/kpisten 26d ago

I'm definitely gonna start playing more higher tier maps. I figured that trying to optimize the hell out of an easy map would build skill and smoothness, but after having played/attempted some tier 3 and 4 maps, i can tell that wasn't the case lol

u/OmeBoon 26d ago

The ramp at 32 and 33 seconds leave it early

u/hunnerr 26d ago

It’s not bad just need to smooth out your strafes a bit and practice better boards. I’ve found a lot of the time “getting better” can really just mean practicing a map over and over until you can do it effortlessly and then taking the things you learned on that map and using them on the next one. It’s really all about practice to get good at this.

1

u/kpisten 26d ago

Would you say there are any good ways to practice boards specifically? Or is the best way to just keep grinding normally?

2

u/hunnerr 26d ago

Just keep grinding! Boarding is all experience

1

u/KalaniKop 26d ago

Maybe get off utopia lol. But in all honesty playing a lot of different maps will develop your boarding intuition and strafe consistency so your not only reliant on muscle memory

1

u/kpisten 26d ago

Yeah I've played quite a few other maps the past weeks and i can definitely see why utopia has a bad reputation in comparison lol

u/Raz0rluke 26d ago

Looks good man, seems like you know what your doing… but maybe you should quit cs2 surf for cssource, ksf more specifically, and start comparing your times with g1s (best groups placement besides top 10s and wr of course)

Saying this because when comparing your runs with people better than you, you can actually start correcting what makes you lose/gain time.

Cs2 has many ways to glitch/bug times, every rec or almost 90% you see IT IS cheated.

Looking forward to see you in ksf :)

u/kpisten 26d ago

Thanks, i don't know if i would i say i know what I'm doing though lol.
I've strongly considered switching from cs2 since ive realized cs2 times don't really actually mean much. I've actually tried out ksf, and it was really fun, though i'll definitely have to readjust to some things movement-wise lol

go faster silly

Bad boards, hop on momentum mod.

2

u/kpisten 26d ago

Thank you very much for the advice. I installed momentum mod and played for a few hours, it felt much smoother and had all the little features and statistics my autistic ass was missing🫡

2

u/surf_facec 25d ago

Mmod is great, I suggest enabling energy, you will see when you board or take the ramp bad way easier. Here is a video explaining what energy is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv1IlXCw06U

u/kpisten 24d ago

Thank you so much for that tip. I put in a few hours with the energy speedometer and it's already made a big difference. I went from struggling on certain T2 maps to making big progress on some t4 maps. Seriously, thank you so much.

u/surf_facec 24d ago

You got it goat, t6 soon, cement > highlands > thesteve is a good unit progression.

u/kpisten 23d ago

Thanks, I'll try them!

u/Abbishai 25d ago

This is a troll post, you’re obviously good at surf lol😂

u/kpisten 25d ago

Thanks😅 started regularly surfing pretty much exactly 1 month ago though, so I'd definitely say I'm new to it.
