aimlog 002: viscose benchmarks day 2, tracking hell

i did more stuff on the viscose benchmarks today, mainly focusing on filling out the benchmark itself, as well as the tracking scens, both control and reactive. i’ve been playing overwatch a little bit again, so raising my tracking skills seem like the most natural thing – i’ve always wanted to be better at tracking anyways.

control wise, or just a bit in general, i feel like i have a lot of tension on my wrist, and my macro movements with my arm is really sloppy. i can feel my wrist tensing up when adjusting on wrist-heavy scens, and my arm rather lacks control thus leading to a lot of unnecessary movements.

reactive tracking is probably my slightly better tracking skill, i would say…? since it feels a lot more flickery compared to control. i filled out the tracker finally and it definitely has much better scores than my control tracking.

stuff like Flicker Plaza felt really natural for me it feels like, very tracer-y movements – linear movements into blinks. i might be inclined to do the intermediate version of it some time later to see how i fare on it, since it could also just be an easier scen that my fundamentals are enough to do.

i’ve noticed a bad habit that probably comes from reading dynamic clicking for these scens though – i tend to predict the bot’s movement instead of trying to follow and, well, “react” to it, like the name suggests. add that with my tension issues and i end up overcorrecting / mispredicting all over the place.

though i think, with this in mind though, i’ve definitely seen myself predict the bot much less compared to before – i think this is actually credited to me playing a lot of overwatch and just aiming on tracers / pharahs and trying to react to their movement with only a hint of predicting, instead of entirely relying on predicting and flicking on them as correction.

it’s been feeling good to build up tracking skill these days in comparison to before, to be honest. definitely one of my weakest skills finally getting raised.

maybe rest day tomorrow? we shall see.
