Is calm aim dead?

Almost all of the top/upcoming aimers in this day and age are the fast/flicky/snappy type. EX: Verno Primmie Nightz Cane Something Alfajer Oxy Mada Flashback etc

The calm, very precise type like Less Elite Aleksandar, Old yay, etc seem to be a dying breed

Your dogshit opinion aside, that has nothing to do with his aimstyle which was the purpose of the thread, retard.

He's like semi calm, he's definitely sacrificed some precision for speed and commits to sprays way more than his prime where he was tapping and trying to really hunt heads.

His first bullet accuracy is still really good though so it doesnt show as much, but the fact that he's noticeably changed his style kinda helps my point about calm aim slowly dying

he upped his sense
i think his logic was there is too much shit in the game
so he needs to be able to shoot faster

Best crosshair placement and aim, flick or not, wins games. Faster shooter on point always wins first.

calm aim is objectively worse than fast aim
its simple logic
faster shooter>faster the bullet hits the other guy's head>wins the duel

anyone can aim like aleksander holding a wide ass angle taking a million years to shoot yea he has clips but those r against dogshit immortals
theres a clip of him saying about how he should take his time to shoot because "look how long it takes for the other guy to kill me"
unfortunately not very long in tier 1
his face is nowhere seen in tier 2 even

ppl who have "calm aim" their mechanics are just not good enough to have fast aim

Primmie, oxy and canzerra are NOT flicky aimers, dont know abt the rest. Oxy's like on .23 and cane's on .2 sens. They're just fast and precise af.

The way I think about it is how willing are you to flick fast to a target past their head then use the burst/spray to correct vs taking the time to make sure the burst is on their head, like aleksandar (the extreme example)

All of those guys have insane first bullet accuracy + fast correction, making them fast and accurate (a deadly combo), but they are not calm aimers

i get your point and this is kinda unrelated but is funny to think less is not considered an upcoming aimer when hes the same age or younger than most of that list

also answering i think fast aim was always the norm tbh calm aim was always something that just a few people get praised for

I agree, but I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s "dying." A lot of players had flashy aim a few years ago. I’d say those who had noticeably calm aim back then are now playing with either semi-calm aim or leaning more towards flashy, as you mentioned

I wouldn’t say it’s worse, more like it’s on the same playing field. Calm aim offers more precision, while flashy aim focuses on securing the kill faster. Neither is inherently better than the other—Yay is a great example of this balance

Calm aim is not a good thing. Disciplined aim is a good thing.

If you have good reaction habits you can make the motions fast, there is no benefit to moving your cursor slower. Pros do take time to realize where a target is and then make a fast motion because their aim is good, as long as that time is taken and the target is recognized they can shoot however they want. It's not like primmie is just panic spammingz he is clearly giving himself a bit of time before shooting, even if it is very short.

I think OP uses "calm aim" as synonym for aiming slow or something like that.

securing the kill is faster is inheriently better tho..........no one said fast aim isnt precise, however if u cant be both fast and precise just be precise, but the best aimers will always be the ones that can achieve both rather than just one

im sorry but if u need to take 200 millseconds more to focus your crosshair to secure the kill while a faster aim style guy can do it in 200 miliseconds less then ud be dead

its simple as that

if u take it to the extreme (aimbot) then thats the ultimate fastest and most precise you would go

having more mechanical skill allows you to be faster while still being precise
vs having less mechanical skill you would most likely have to suffer being fast and just focus on precision

this should not be a debate

the so called reason why people think "calm" aim is better is because they are unable to be both precise and fast at the same time....... and they have the time to take their time to aim before getting killed
however at the top of tier 1 its a different story

also the so-called "aiming" is not about crosshair placement btw, having good crosshair placement has nothing to do with calm aim and fast aim, its just clicking a mouse
this is about moving your mouse from point A to point B, THAT is aim

I agree to an extent. Being both fast and precise is definitely ideal, especially at the top level. My point was more about the trade-offs when you can’t achieve both. If someone lacks the mechanical skill to aim fast and precise, calm aim can still get the job done effectively in those situations.

yea that i definitely agree with
my whole point was people who can be both fast and precise at the same time will ultimately cycle out players who can only afford to be precise (aka calm aim)

calm aim is just slow and steady wins the race
