You're like the only youtuber I've seen that doesn't pop off when they get kills and say shit like "did you guys SEE that?!" or "DUDE I just got 5 so sick" I really appreciate that
Play consistently man! It's almost impossible to play one class endlessly and not get better. Practice makes perfect, and you need alot of it for Genji / Tracer! :)
Beside that genji is so mobile. As you can see he's using walls, double jumps and resets to get out or kill everyone. He prioritizes on healers and stays away from tanks with CC. Also before ulting, he spots the enemy team then uses it on high grounds. You shouldn't ult on open areas where everyone can see you. I love how he takes down the Phara though. Phara has upper hand over Genji imo.
My favorite part of your play style, and probably Genji in general, is that you can use a combination of double-jumping, wall-running, and swift-striking to give the illusion that you're flying around the map and over rooftops.
lol he would have pushed them back to their home base. I only did that once, and that's after I was inspired by Seagull's video. Seagull could solo push them back into their home base anyday, everyday, and that's the definition of badass
but the blue dragon is the dragon of the south wind. hanzo's dragon. might not be added.or maybe they added a genie spirit instead of the dragon on the nomad skins
Emerald Nightmare oh yeah i forgot about that,good thinking man but u know i just want to see that version of blue dragon just because for the sake of matched color lol
I was introduced to this channel through Reddit of all places, and after maybe the third video of watching you play Overwatch constantly getting the PotG, I decided to subscribe so I can get loads of this after the game releases :)
I really wish I had a Pc, I would totally play this way on mouse an keyboard, Its so hard to do well like this on console unless you turn your sensitivity all the way up and bind your controls differently. It plays so much slower on console
wow a console person actually admitting that it plays slower.. my buddy has it on xbox one and he says its alot harder to snipe with widow and alot of people don't play her on console.. he bought it for pc and then preceded to go off on widow maker.. (he's always been a sniper main).. like you can't do the things seagull was doing on console.. won't ever happen, can't even happen. PcMasterRace
+iTzKiiNG yeah exactly, the only reason people play widow it for her ultimate. The sensitivity is just wonky as shit, its hard to direct hit with phara as well because of that. I can't seem to find the best solution because both horizontal and vertical sensitivity are separate.
I feel like the game was totally optimized and balanced to play on PC, it's nice to see consoles get the short end of the stick, not that I'm vindictive or anything :3
Dude, you're amazing at genji, but serious credit to your team for taking so much agro that allowed you to maneuver the battlefield un-focused for so much of this gameplay. I wish I could have teams like that.
Pretty sure it's just an illusion of the timing, but at 3:34 it looks like you reflect back your own ninja stars that the other genji first reflects at you!
Although right-click, melee, dash is a super effective combo.. So is double right-click, melee/right(/left)-click, melee, right(/left)-click (If you do not have dash). Especially if you get those cheeky jumping right-click head-shots. This is at medium range of course. As, Right-click, melee, dash is for close quarters. And then, you can introduce a reflect to get out of sticky situations. All this does is make it harder for people to target you. - As well as burst tank's to a pulp.
I have so much trouble with genji ult. one main issue for me is if you pause the video during the first half second at 1:22 the slice animation is literally blinding the entire fucking screen. its only like a half second but it is so disorienting. between that and dashing (dashing even briefly blinds you) through somebody and then having to turn around and figure out where the fk they are i just get lost.
Romdog G doesn't make it right. The game us objective based. If people are so stupid as to focus kills over the entire purpose of the game, they should go back to some other game that doesn't require an iota of wit to handle.
+Kaiser Redflame there would be games in the beta where I would just focus on killing the enemy just trying to get plays of the game, having a blast playing. When I would try to actually play the objective, I would find myself getting frustrated at myself, my team, and even my enemies. I stopped trying to be hypercompetitive and just appreciated the game's combat mechanics and its eye catching visuals. This game would have definetly benefited from having a non-heavy objective based game mode
read alot of comment about good Genji´s and your often considered the best. so i had to check out one of your vids. at first didnt seem that impressive. but you catch on :D really nice play. your definetly a good Genji.. that is not at all how it looks when i play him.. maybe the 2:26-2:30.. yea thats more me as genji... that i can reconize ... wp thx for the look
Its magnificent, Genji and Mercy working in harmony, the Genji provides protection for the mercy and the mercy provides healing for the Genji, it's a work of nature. (This does not count for the enemy Genji).
I'm not nearly as good as seagull but from my experience shamelessly maining genji: Grind, grind, grind, practice a ton on him (whenever it won't mess up your teamcomp) and do whatever gets you to a high energy level beforehand. It might help to 1v1 your friend at medium range to practice aiming your shurikens.
+Ryan Keaney It's fine you'll climb the MMR ladder quickly if you're good at this game. Just get some friends and start playing from day 1 and you'll be fine.
+Ryan Keaney If you sunk some hours into the Open Beta and have an appreciation for what makes players great, you'll be fine. Just keep learning and practicing. When you make a small play think of ways it could have been a bigger play. When you die, think of ways you could have made yourself survive.
***** Closed beta gave people really strong mechanical mastery of the abilities, teamwork, map knowledge, decision making etc. The general FPS mechanics didn't have to be learned by the best players, you're right.
Im a genji main, im trying to know how patient or how much do you go in head on when the enemy has all eyes on you, do you just klill mercy and just get out when your in danger?
Seagull, I'm not really active on Twitch but you would to mind share your gaming peripherals and mouse sensitivity? Particularly on Genji. I find that Genji and Tracer need higher mouse sensitivity than any other heroes due to their ability to get to behind the enemy and twitch 180 degree as quickly as they can like you did around 2:00. How do you keep up with the mouse sensitivity when you need to change other heroes?
+zakwan khidzir I use the same sensitivity as seagull and I'm actually thinking about changing it. 1600 DPI is fine but for characters like Genji Tracer and Widow I turn up the in game sensitivity. Side note: I know in the reddit post the settings were the same as the guy mentioned but I think his sensitivity is way higher here, his turn speed is nuts
I cant believe how little people focus on you, I play Genji and as soon as I throw a shuriken and they hear the sound im being hunted by the entire team
+Wicke Danneh No, this was recorded before the open beta 2 weeks ago. (I think) He was saying if you preordered the game and input the code they gave you, you would be able to participate in the closed beta. For that one you would still have to pay to get in, but you'd be able to get in :)
You literally can't play like this on consoles. For stuff like this its only possible for mouse. Ex, when you're holding/pressing x to jump, you already can't turn because you're using your thumb for the analog stick.
You can if you change up your control scheme. I play on PS4 and switched jump to L1, and my L1 ability to the left control stick, that way I can jump and have access to all of my abilities (barring my ult) without having to stop aiming. Or you can play claw style, but that can be a bit of a pain.
Eh, you still can't turn as fast as this gameplay. Not saying that there's anything wrong with playing on console, I play a fair amount myself, but you just can't reach that level of movement.
yah I agree you can change up your schemes but with a mouse you are turning to a point almost twitch turning, with a stick you are slowing turning. On the consoles characters like Genji and Snipers are way worse than on pc (not saying they're bad). These videos of hanzo wrecking people is not going to happen on pc. They need to add autoaim to some degree or consoles won't touch these champs.
You could also use a claw set-up and use your index finger on the four buttons. That way, you can use the analog stick and buttons at the same time while using you middle and ring finger for the R1 and R2 respectively. It takes some getting used to but it allows you to pull off some sick shit.
Is the game buy to play or pay to play? I mean, do you buy it once and then you're free to play for as long as you wanna, or is there a monthly fee that needs to be paid?
When Mercy has had enough of your "MLG shit" and pistol whups your ass out of ult, yeah that's where my thumbs up went to.
You're like the only youtuber I've seen that doesn't pop off when they get kills and say shit like "did you guys SEE that?!" or "DUDE I just got 5 so sick"
I really appreciate that
He's a pro player and it wouldn't really be wise to do that during a tournament haha
Oh I see, that makes sense. But is this gameplay from a tournament?
+VulgarBearSteak Everyday is a tournament.
Because he's a pro and that happens like all the time
i see seagull play genji, making me feel like i can play genji. I go play gengi and then, i can't hit a fucking shuriken and die every time i spawn...
I feel you man.
Play consistently man! It's almost impossible to play one class endlessly and not get better. Practice makes perfect, and you need alot of it for Genji / Tracer! :)
+Mark Maurice solid advice brother - and sick back double bicep in the pro pic ayyyy lol XD
i feel ya , but quickplay the enemy team just zergs so it makes genji impossible to play unless your fighting a team of actual retards
me t00 man
5:40 i think reflect kills are still the funniest part of this game yet
especially against bastion players.
When it's high noon and you just reflect it to kill him instead always makes me giggle :D
I love seeing McCree's yell high noon and I dash on to them with reflect and they get the bullet instead. Also with Reaper's Death Blossom.
After watching this guy....i should melee attack more.
right click,melee,shift. Strongest combo
+TheAsianPlaysGames or for all console and pc.
secondary fire. melee. and his dash
+XIM4Gaming for me it's left click dash right click Melee, maybe a deflect if it's something like a tracer
+LOLEnigMatic - GrT Clan yep its easier to land the melee after dash
Beside that genji is so mobile. As you can see he's using walls, double jumps and resets to get out or kill everyone. He prioritizes on healers and stays away from tanks with CC.
Also before ulting, he spots the enemy team then uses it on high grounds. You shouldn't ult on open areas where everyone can see you.
I love how he takes down the Phara though. Phara has upper hand over Genji imo.
My favorite part of your play style, and probably Genji in general, is that you can use a combination of double-jumping, wall-running, and swift-striking to give the illusion that you're flying around the map and over rooftops.
Genji can't wallrun though
he can't wall run per-say, but he can run UP the walls
or climb whatever
Well that happens Quite commonly
Well you can *LITERALLY* fly around the map using edge boost.
that fadeaway deflect at 5:43 was absolutely disgusting
Rip that dudes entire career
"fadeaway shot" -Kobe
Yeah that was sexy
Legit, Seagull has become my favorite Overwatch streamer. Best Genji NA.
ofc he is the best
Cleveyton Granted he's probs not the best in the world :P
When I watch other streamers play Genji I stay like.... WTF they suck ! Bring A Seagull !
cstephn93 Have you watched Mendo or Tvique?
rikoLas not yet
He played it as if a real ninja. This must be what developer of the character has envisioned for Genji.
Your Genji is about 4,000x better than mine. It's both inspiring and depressing at the same time.
this guy is hands down the best genji out there.
watching you play genji is like watching bob ross paint
a true artist in his element
KappaRoss FeelsGoodMan
5:43 last second reflect lol
Damn the way Genji sheaths his sword at the end of the game when you won that. So satisfying to see.
I clearly do not play Genji correctly...
PeacefulKancer same
now imagine him not talking, solely concentrating in his Genji game, a scary thought!
lol he would have pushed them back to their home base. I only did that once, and that's after I was inspired by Seagull's video. Seagull could solo push them back into their home base anyday, everyday, and that's the definition of badass
am i the only one bothered by the de fact that the light blue shurikens still leave a grean trail?
kinda but i got used to it.
They shud change it really
As well as the sword. I know green is Genji's trademark colour but come on, the point is for his whole skin to combine
As a Bradstion, it's gonna be hard to counter those plays, but I gotta learn.
Amazing plays btw!
Omg plz no. "We're all bastions now"
Amazing vids btw :D
6:49 slow down the video and realize just how fast his reaction time was towards the roadhog.
I wish the dragon for this skin could look blue so it could match his sword
aye agree,that is all i want for genji
color matched with skin
but the blue dragon is the dragon of the south wind. hanzo's dragon. might not be added.or maybe they added a genie spirit instead of the dragon on the nomad skins
Emerald Nightmare oh yeah i forgot about that,good thinking man
but u know i just want to see that version of blue dragon just because for the sake of matched color
lol
genji's also not colored navy and black in the canon, so might as well make the colors match.
gee, brother. why does muh mah let you have TWO dragons?
"git gud"
This guy doesn't play Genji, he IS Genji...
Loving the regular uploads =D
I was introduced to this channel through Reddit of all places, and after maybe the third video of watching you play Overwatch constantly getting the PotG, I decided to subscribe so I can get loads of this after the game releases :)
Thank you for the constant flow of Overwatch godlikeness
only decent overwatch player ive seen that makes youtube vids
humble too
+Itachi Uchiha "decent"
+sorathecrow i give him a solid pretty good/10
+Itachi Uchiha
>Thinks Ster isn't decent
Welp
+Itachi Uchiha. He is good, of course. But how good you can only say when he would play without his pocket mercy saving his ass all the time
Just rewatching these clips and realizing he was better genji than me now 4 years later.
That was just beautiful to watch. Inspirational!
I really wish I had a Pc, I would totally play this way on mouse an keyboard,
Its so hard to do well like this on console unless you turn your sensitivity all the way up and bind your controls differently. It plays so much slower on console
You would totally be playing this way if only you had a keyboard and mouse!
wow a console person actually admitting that it plays slower.. my buddy has it on xbox one and he says its alot harder to snipe with widow and alot of people don't play her on console.. he bought it for pc and then preceded to go off on widow maker.. (he's always been a sniper main).. like you can't do the things seagull was doing on console.. won't ever happen, can't even happen. PcMasterRace

Yvaine Anwell You are making a mistake in reasoning known as the toupee fallacy.
Dude, you're amazing at genji, but serious credit to your team for taking so much agro that allowed you to maneuver the battlefield un-focused for so much of this gameplay.
I wish I could have teams like that.
You are the best genji player i have ever seen, subscribed!
72%........ P O G C H A M P
Seagull would you ever do a Genji tips/tricks video?
This is the definition of a ninja.
Pretty sure it's just an illusion of the timing, but at 3:34 it looks like you reflect back your own ninja stars that the other genji first reflects at you!
That deflect at 2:10 was nasty
hello best Genji : D Can you share you'r dpi and sensitivity? thx!
I watch this guy a lot and learned a lot
Holy crap you're amazing with Genji!
Although right-click, melee, dash is a super effective combo.. So is double right-click, melee/right(/left)-click, melee, right(/left)-click (If you do not have dash). Especially if you get those cheeky jumping right-click head-shots. This is at medium range of course. As, Right-click, melee, dash is for close quarters.

0:42 ok, how do you b-hop in Overwatch. My Brain hurts
Very interesting video. I have learned a lot.
Hey any tips for Genji players? Also how the hell do you strafe like that? You moved so fast as if you had a Lucio speed boost.
I have so much trouble with genji ult. one main issue for me is if you pause the video during the first half second at 1:22 the slice animation is literally blinding the entire fucking screen. its only like a half second but it is so disorienting. between that and dashing (dashing even briefly blinds you) through somebody and then having to turn around and figure out where the fk they are i just get lost.
What i've learnt from this observation is: get up close to your enemies and dont forget to melee
Very good map movement and knowledge.
And he got absolutely no votes on his card at the end there...
Ye thats so dumb. I alos just pres randomly on someone. Unles someone is apsulutly briliant in the game :B
+Meenokey "apsulutly"
Yeah Genji are underappreciated.
yeah it all goes to merci
+Meenokey mother of God
Watching this guy, I would say I'm 40% worst, and then I realize, THATS PRETTY GOOD
2:48 the "Mexico" text on the wall. Wtf is that? Is it a developer texture for when they were compiling the files for the game or something?
if you played the map, its a sign/board
have played*
I love how for two minutes straight none of the fucking team ends up doing the most important thing:
PUSHING THE FUCKING OBJECTIVE.
Not as fun as killing the enemy, I've learned to accept this in any 'team' based game
Romdog G doesn't make it right. The game us objective based. If people are so stupid as to focus kills over the entire purpose of the game, they should go back to some other game that doesn't require an iota of wit to handle.
+Kaiser Redflame there would be games in the beta where I would just focus on killing the enemy just trying to get plays of the game, having a blast playing.

This game would have definetly benefited from having a non-heavy objective based game mode
you know what? I feel inspired. I'm gonna stat trying to kill pharas whilst there in mid air.
Wait what skin were you talking about in the beginning there? Carbon Fiber Genji?
Awesome Genji gameplay, man! Cheers!
how are you so good at the game and your only lvl 6 did you play the beta?
1:50 no deflection?
Seagull what's your keybind on genji? Did you change anything?
what sensitivity do you play on and did you adjust the field of vision at all?
The game barely came out at the time of this vid and the guy is already super good, like jesus christ
Damn A_Seagull! Back at it gain with that pocket Mercy!
read alot of comment about good Genji´s and your often considered the best. so i had to check out one of your vids. at first didnt seem that impressive. but you catch on :D really nice play. your definetly a good Genji.. that is not at all how it looks when i play him.. maybe the 2:26-2:30.. yea thats more me as genji... that i can reconize ... wp thx for the look
Hi man, just wondering what sensitivity you use
This may sound stupid but can Genji deflect bastions ultimates rockets?
Its magnificent, Genji and Mercy working in harmony, the Genji provides protection for the mercy and the mercy provides healing for the Genji, it's a work of nature.
(This does not count for the enemy Genji).
Good vid man, any tips for genji? im learning him rite now :D
Don't get dizzy
I'm not nearly as good as seagull but from my experience shamelessly maining genji: Grind, grind, grind, practice a ton on him (whenever it won't mess up your teamcomp) and do whatever gets you to a high energy level beforehand. It might help to 1v1 your friend at medium range to practice aiming your shurikens.
hey seagull, why is your level always that low? is there a way to reset it on pc ?
I didn't get into the closed beta and watching this makes me feel SO left behind on the skill cap
+Ryan Keaney It's fine you'll climb the MMR ladder quickly if you're good at this game. Just get some friends and start playing from day 1 and you'll be fine.
+Ryan Keaney If you sunk some hours into the Open Beta and have an appreciation for what makes players great, you'll be fine. Just keep learning and practicing. When you make a small play think of ways it could have been a bigger play. When you die, think of ways you could have made yourself survive.
I got to lvl 30 in the open beta, wish me luck :D
Ryan Keaney Half a year from now we'll have top tier players who aren't closed beta players. It'll be fine eventually.
***** Closed beta gave people really strong mechanical mastery of the abilities, teamwork, map knowledge, decision making etc. The general FPS mechanics didn't have to be learned by the best players, you're right.
doing a rerun of all the good old genji vids i miss those days triple jump 8 second blade i want to cry
does genji's dash do more damage with sword up ?? feels like it
How the hell do you aim so well as genji? I cant hit shit thats like 4 ft in front of me, and I do lead my shots
You are the same as me . You use console don't you
+Ninja Robot I made that comment from like last month. I've improved, and NO I do not play on console.
That's one beastly genji 😨
Im a genji main, im trying to know how patient or how much do you go in head on when the enemy has all eyes on you, do you just klill mercy and just get out when your in danger?
Balls of steel jumping int that Hanzo ult.
what do you call a seagull that lives at a bay?
a bagel
Is that true that gold earned in the beta won't be reset at launch??
How much damage deal genji's shuriken's now ? They were nerfed right ?
Hey Seagull, what is your mouse-sensitivity with Genji (or in general)? Thanks :)
You're ridiculously good at him.
Seagull, I'm not really active on Twitch but you would to mind share your gaming peripherals and mouse sensitivity? Particularly on Genji. I find that Genji and Tracer need higher mouse sensitivity than any other heroes due to their ability to get to behind the enemy and twitch 180 degree as quickly as they can like you did around 2:00. How do you keep up with the mouse sensitivity when you need to change other heroes?
4 sensitivity, 1800 DPI
+OccipitantX is that Seagull's mouse sensitivity? That's pretty low isn't? Kinda need a lot of hand movement I guess.
+zakwan khidzir I use the same sensitivity as seagull and I'm actually thinking about changing it. 1600 DPI is fine but for characters like Genji Tracer and Widow I turn up the in game sensitivity.
Side note: I know in the reddit post the settings were the same as the guy mentioned but I think his sensitivity is way higher here, his turn speed is nuts
It's REALLY fast lol... I play 4 sens @ 800 dpi.
Can you bhop in this game or why is He getting so fast while jumping
But what was the most popular skin in the game at one point?
How are you surviving the break seagull :(
What are all these animation cancel you do it's like you're game is sped up but I play on PS4 so I know all never be that good
I cant believe how little people focus on you, I play Genji and as soon as I throw a shuriken and they hear the sound im being hunted by the entire team
Am I wrong in thinking that Genji's health is lower than 200 in the current game state?
it doesn't look like he's going for headshots, is it normal to just go for body shots with genjis shuriken?
Been watching your videos to tide me over until launch day. Also hoping a little 1337ness rubs off on me.
this is....just amazing...
god every genji has this skin.
Young Genji is best skin
Lol I got one too , idk I think it's just blizzard
I personally think it looks like shit on him
#chromemasterrace
+Deathtoweeaboos i rather use chrome, it looks so shiny and the yellow light is just amazing #chromemasterrace
Harder to see
Damn you are a monster with Genji... and here I thought I was good! Holy shit
Wait, what was that about being able to play if you purchased? What code? Can I play right now?
+Wicke Danneh No, this was recorded before the open beta 2 weeks ago. (I think)
He was saying if you preordered the game and input the code they gave you, you would be able to participate in the closed beta. For that one you would still have to pay to get in, but you'd be able to get in :)
Was this played during the two weeks Overwatch wasn't out? If so, how? If not, was this just a late upload from the beta?
This was played during closed beta.
***** Thanks, dude.
Yo ish ya boi Genjeezy :D Sick play, learning a lot from you.
You literally can't play like this on consoles. For stuff like this its only possible for mouse. Ex, when you're holding/pressing x to jump, you already can't turn because you're using your thumb for the analog stick.
You can if you change up your control scheme. I play on PS4 and switched jump to L1, and my L1 ability to the left control stick, that way I can jump and have access to all of my abilities (barring my ult) without having to stop aiming.

Just buy a console mouse kit
What mouse sensitivity do you use for OW?
Is the game buy to play or pay to play?
I mean, do you buy it once and then you're free to play for as long as you wanna, or is there a monthly fee that needs to be paid?
from the two it's buy to play I guess. (buy once for about 39 dollars)
MrYoyoNine Thank you.
$40 pc & $60 console
Thank you.
What is a good vertical and horizontal sensitively ?
how long has seagull been playing genji?
What is your favorite Genji skin? (My personal favorite is Nomad)
Seagull what is your DPI and sens
6:34 how is he doing that triple throw?
right click
Is this your only account? because you were only like lvl 6 and destroying them or did you play alot in the beta? ik your lvl 100+ now but before
He played like, a ton, in the beta
he was 106 lvl. it goes round like that
