Its honestly really important. Fighting players who are better than you makes you get better way faster than fighting players worse than you. You are forced to adapt
starting out trying to get good at rod pvp in 2021 has to be one of the hardest things i have ever tried, everybody is so good i cant find anybody on my skill level even on practice servers. I can hotkey fine main problem is the timing of the rods like i can hit people with a rod but they will just hit me with their sword it dosent affect them. i also hotkey switch between my rod and my sword during trades but i always lose those too, always get combod the second i switch back from my rod to my sword
Yea, the timing is definitely the most important part to get down, and the hardest part. It is something I should have included in my video, but it is just not worth it to try to rod someone when you are in a trade with them, I was doing it way too frequently until recently, and I lost most of them. You just can't reliably get a combo on someone when you are trading like that, so I suggest just going all-in and try to do the most damage as possible, or if you get low or are out-geared, turn around and get out. Also, about the timing, really try to go against your instinct and throw the rod a bit earlier; if they are hitting you before they take knockback it is because you are throwing your rod too late. If you have the aiming down, just try to get in a good rhythm and get used to throwing it a bit earlier, you will probably be great if you can get the timing down based on what you've told me. Good luck! :D
Tipen for me it's like opposite. I don't struggle with timing rods but I throw them as if I was doing it with an actual weapon and since I strafe rod usually misses. Maybe that's because mine 135 ping. Anyways, nice guide
I’m glad you enjoyed! But yeah, ping difference is pretty much the only reason half of the techniques used in pvp work - it makes for some weird techniques, but thats kinda why I like them.
I’ve been playing mc for a pretty long time now, and I’d say I have all the techniques down except for having side buttons for the rod. I wish this didn’t make much of a difference but it absolutely does as anytime I come up against someone who can rod spam, I get destroyed. The thing is when I use the side buttons my aim gets a bit worse, with an average 20% lower hit rate, and it is really difficult to switch back to sword once you have hit the final rod as it takes longer to move your thumb up than down. So basically what I need to know is if over time these flaws get better, or is this just one of the problems that comes with rodding using the side buttons.
Yea, the extra mouse buttons are really nice and definitely do provide an advantage, but honestly as long as you get good at what you use then you’ll be fine. If you want to keep trying out those regular side mouse buttons then you’ll probably get your issues hammered out, but if you are finding that it isn’t working I suggest something with your pinky since you don’t really use it that much, like maybe caps for the rod and control for the sword or something like that. Also, thanks for watching! :D
Very good advice, i used to destroy one of my friends in rod pvp but then took a year long break and became trash. During that time he hit classic leaderboard and #1 blitz weekly so i asked him to bully me everyday for 3 hours till i could beat him, it been working really well
there is surprisingly no bs in this rod guide considering using a fishing rod is a weird skill. (sometimes you need to do what you feel like it's right and there is no wrong or right answer) i have seen a rod guide that talks about rod pattern,(like you rod in a set amount of times before going in) which is super bs.
I think that is what makes it have a decent skill gap; you really have to react on your feet and make quick decisions based on so many factors, there really is no one way to do it for all scenarios
Dude you are seriously underrated. Really high quality, you deserve more recognition. Thanks for your guide, I've been really wanting to get good but struggling with 1.8 pvp and you gave me some really practical advice. I already knew all the things I had to do but didn't know how to put it all together. Definitely earned my sub, keep up the good work! Edit: Do you know any good places to play against others at lower skill levels or beginners and work your way up to sweatier players?
I’m actually making one about sprint resetting right now, I’m probably 50% done with it, but its taking me a while because I can’t work on it too much. Anyways, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! :D
Not exclusively rod ffa servers, most of the ones I’ve played on are very p2w which is a little sad. I know these aren’t ffa servers but I usually play on lunar, mmc, and hypixel, also the pit on hypixel is ffa and has rods as a perk that doesn’t take such a long time to get. Sorry I couldn’t help you with specifically what you want, but if you do find a good ffa server I’d be happy if you told me about it! :D
I’m glad you found it helpful! The blur was more of a stylistic choice on my part just because I think it looks clean and I was using it as a non-distracting b roll for my main clips, but I can definitely see how you may want to see the gameplay.
OMG HIII BIN GETONMYYSKILL FALLS DU MICH KENNST bin eigentlich ein random VLT AUCH UNTER madara_a enjoyen oder irgendwelchen alts wo ich dann sweate oder togglestats habe dich paar Mal in kit 1vs1 gefighted danke für elo nh Spaß chill
Usually I get the notification for a comment on my phone, and if I am doing something I kinda ignore it for a while, and sometimes I forget about it until I check all the comments. Kinda just me being careless lol
holy crap extra mouse buttons are op.(he told me that's the reason why he is so good at rod and strafing) I get completely destroyed by someone in mmc who rod spam the hell out of me in classic. he broke all my DIAMOND armor pieces. maybe you should talk about how to use rod to break armor lol.
I haven’t really thought about it much, but thinking about it a little bit the horizontal velocity seems to trail off much quicker than other projectiles (which is why rods don’t go as far as snowballs, eggs, etc), so it probably takes longer to get to your enemy. Maybe try leading your shot a little more than with other projectiles. Anyways thanks for watching :D
It doesn’t necessarily have to be a crit though, it is just you are in a good position to do a crit and the trick doubles the crit Rod trick = 2x damage Crit = 1.5x damage Rod trick + crit = 3x damage
100-115 ping shouldn’t really affect it *that* much; I mean that is kinda high ping but its not crazy. Maybe your connection is spotty, so you get 300-400 ms sometimes and 100 others, which would definitely make your rod delayed. Other than that, I’m not sure. If you have a consistent 100-115 ms then your rod should look pretty similar to mine. Anyways, thanks for watching!
Yea pretty much, a slight disadvantage but once you get the timing down the disadvantage should disappear. You can also use your ping to your advantage; in my video I basically said that the higher your speed and the higher the sum of the two players’ pings are, the larger the possible movement advantage. So, if you do successfully land a well-timed rod and start a combo, your hits will look *really* far, and it is the same thing for your opponent on you. Thats why imo rodding at a higher ping has a higher learning curve but higher reward, its a bit harder in the beginning but once you get the hang of it you can pull off some crazy stuff :)
When you're ms alone is more than every single American player combined lmao But no joke the rod delay IS annoying (but the hit stacking makes up for it) If you guys get 200+ ms, try closing the distance by strafing and being near 2block reach, instead of trying to be near the 3block reach. Also don't spam w tap and block hit together, blocking doesn't decrease dmg, do 1 of them and occasionally press them consecutively. If you learn to abuse high ping it's gr8
Yea high ping definitely has its advantages and once you ace them you can be unstoppable. I personally don’t play on high ping much just because it feels less smooth, but it is fun to hop on an eu or asian server once in a while. Anyways, thanks for watching!
Thats actually really great to hear! Kinda cool seeing someone take the time come back in the longer term and saying that it genuinely helped you out. Heres to masters division!
Thats the thing about high ping; when people combo you it looks like they are eight blocking you, but when you combo people it looks like you are eight blocking them on their screen because as the ping if both players combined goes up, the possible movement advantage goes up. Anyways, some advice: As a high-ping player, you know that it is really hard to get a first hit, which means it is hard to start a combo. But the thing about rodding is that hitting them with the rod basically acts as a first hit, so you won’t have to worry about the ping problem. Thats why I say that rodding is better for high ping players than low ping players. Try to, when you rod them, stop moving and then only move in when they get knocked back. This can also be executed by rodding earlier and keep moving towards them. Wait for them to take knockback before you move closer to them basically
@@Tipen thx for the tip + im a light weight in mc cuz when someone hits me i always fly to the sun... then people still hit me there, once i got thrown into the void and i still got hit even being 6 blocks below him. :(
Yea, I can see how that’d be annoying. Another tip though is, as a high ping player, even if they get the first hit, you will still be able to hit them back as long as your aim is decent just due to your delayed knockback, so you can almost always suicide people with this. Also, I’m thinking about making a video about advantages and disadvantages of high ping and low ping, so maybe you could use some of the advantages in that video if I get around to making it :)
@@Tipen some things about low ping are: You can't lava people, you can't block people bc they will phase trought your blocks, you don't do kb at any people, your kb not delayed (when someone hits you, you get instantly knocked into orbit, there is no kb delay), sound is sometimes delayed (atleast with my experiences), you can't run from people without getting hit 5 times at your back, bow shots are delayed, at a curve you can get hit trought the walls. Thats what i can remember :)
It means that both parties do; the amount of extra reach that someone has is based off of both the players’ ping combined, so you get an extra block and a bit of reach, and they get an extra block of reach. Anyways, thanks for watching! :D
If you’re referring to the blurry background footage, that was a stylistic choice. My reasoning was because 1) the text would be difficult to see without it and 2) I wanted the focus to be on the information rather than gameplay and 3) i think it looks pretty nice.
