The REAL Reason Why You're Still Bad On Controller...

In this video, we're going to talk about the real reason why you're still struggling to improve your controller skills in Fortnite. We're going to explore how you can overcome these struggles and finally become a better player!

[@enocmaeda9269]

He’s not wrong I hold my thumb stick on the edge slightly in the center to give me more control and freedom to drag my joy stick like a mouse giving me faster mechanics when building

[@Lqwid]

Ayee I like that

[@enocmaeda9269]

@@Lqwid appreciate it man plus I don’t play claw so it helps the transition from stick to button smoothly without accidentally nudging the stick messing me up

[@Hypersend]

I use gyro, why settle for a tiny thumbstick stick when I can use the entire controller to turn.

[@enocmaeda9269]

@@Hypersend idk how to use that thing I just have fast sense that moves like KBM on controller

[@not_everywhere]

Same😊

[@woozii.capalot]

I noticed the other day that I would randomly get better outta nowhere n it was cuz I changed my thumb placement. Still don’t know which placement it was tho cuz I used all 3

[@romainebennett1852]

Yo this is so true bro sometimes when playing fortnite I can't aim for shit it but then there are times my aim is just on point

[@000jacc]

its a game changer for mechs and aim

[@myron9]

id like to use my thumb right in the centre but my hands are too small so I suck automatically

[@hyunwoojeon706]

Depends what you want. If you want control edge would be better but if you just want the least delay and most responsiveness, middle is better.

[@bruhplsdont3574]

Something similar thats also important is palm placement. Especially when you’ve played for while it could shift out of place, without you noticing it.

[@anemicish]

could u plz explain ur knowledge on this more? how can palm placement affect aim and what is the best palm placement?

[@bruhplsdont3574]

​@@anemicish When palying claw I realized that my palm kept slipping while playing. When that happened my aim got worse and I missed edits. Ended up buying controller grip stickers. You could try that. There isn't really a specific palm placement everyone should use. Everyones hands are different what works for me might not work for you. The only thing I recommend is not switching up the placement, because that causes inconsistency. Hope this helps!

[@anemicish]

@@bruhplsdont3574 ok thank you so much for the information🙏🏾

[@anemicish]

@@bruhplsdont3574 Thank you for ur advice bro

[@Bucketbrosofficial]

I normally hold my thumb on the back of the right stick while I switch my fingers during combat, mostly about comfort so that's maybe why it's taken me three years to get good

[@jj_thegoat6801]

This is so true thank u man 💯

[@fhfvonamir]

I’m glad someone finally talked abt this? I’ve struggled with this for a while

[@-Michee0990-]

Bro idk why but their are games where I pop off and then their are games were I’m just not good. Weird thing is I change my grip for some reason

[@Lqwid]

What grips do you change from?

[@Bruv_7945]

Some games have diff settings

[@-Michee0990-]

@@Lqwid tbh I have no idea. I just mix them and idk. Whatever feels good. Love the vid btw

[@Jimerecanthandle]

yea ur just as

[@JoinGaming-ze4vm]

I want to the same feeling when I used to play Goldeneye or Resident evil 4, super smooth aims. Ps4 controller has never been easy to aim with to me.

[@LilNutDumb]

Sum that helped me is to remind myself to breath and focus on the players when about to beam and stay on target

[@ZenPlayzPiceditor]

This help me. Thanks earned a sub

[@unknown.0_]

Well we will elder Kai to unlock our potential like he did on gohan

[@deotopdefender1]

I figured this out yesterday I use put my thumb directly in the middle then I just randomly overlapped my thumb got my aim back how to use to be😂

[@ZervDefends]

[@gamerdude8668]

Bro tell me bout building that how do I improve my building on controller

[@metalzero4411]

I like to put my thumb either at the top of the stick or on the right side cuz I have the muscle memory to quickly move my thumb to the a (or x on ps) button and back to the stick

[@Bobafatt1599]

This is so true because I use kontrol freeks and you have to find what is comfortable for you.

[@Skyez123]

The way I hold it is thumbs on thumbsticks and index on r2

[@baconatwork7902]

BRO im not even joking looking back at this video i have improved so much for it my friends used to call me trash now i clip them 1v5 bc of my placment😊😊

[@Lqwid]

W👏🏾👏🏾

[@AidenRobinson-sl9ji]

My hands are growing bigger than all my controllers

[@abebillz]

what i do is kinda like a mixture between the first and third one you showed us, i kinda place the center of my thumb on the stick. i do this for both fingers, since it gives me a sense of control and helps me press down the sticks easier since i have them bound to some things (sorry for bad grammar)

[@OG-MEME]

I never new that your thumb was a controller setting

[@ImJusSha]

I even have one finger off my controller when I play sometimes doesn’t change the way I play tried claw it started hurting my finger so I went back to the basic way

[@berndwijnants8611]

But how do I hold it than

[@Itsmejaskas]

Thanks bro, my aim improved a lot

[@Tamya-fv6qu]

Nice good work keep going

[@AJ-rt6zd]

thanks a lot bro

[@ilikefootballandbaddecisions]

I don’t know what good for me, but I use the bottom edge because my fingers are not big and it gives me more control, flexibility, and overall comfort.

[@bruhimanubfortnite5758]

I use the over lap lol its so much easier to edit because of the extra control to be able to change camera direction fast and I also use this button to edit so it makes it much easier do this as well.

[@MyNamesMegatron]

I can’t even aim anything on a controller
I got to used to playing on mouse and keyboard

[@HunterAlexander-qn7hc]

Schools holding it back😂

[@Cent-be2qx]

Like begging innit

[@kursedaim]

so what grip is holding controller players back then im still waiting for that answer

[@ZervDefends]

Everybody who commented in this is probably a demon on controller

[@packedbyzen573]

I just switched to L3

[@SenseiiCR7]

I would say edge is probably the best one even tho I play with my thumb overlapping the controller

[@Inferasiu]

I used to play with a normal grip but I recently switched to claw it was so easy to convert most likely claw was meant for me and my aim went 📈📈📈📈

[@D3LL4R]

What the best thumb placement??

[@GPlusZGaming]

I basically use the bend of my thumb t press a or x on Xbox/PlayStation and my thumb can stay on the right stick so I can crouch slide and/or jump without much thumb movement

[@josephcris1008]

That forth one

[@TM_OMYN]

I play like the bottom left photo for the thumb sticks and top right for everything else

[@UrAverageFortnitePlayer]

I’m have been almost to the point where I’m quitting video games all together because I see no improvement in my mechanics, aim, and building. I hope this helps me, much love❤

[@spooderman2695]

L just enjoy a game, people these days are weird bro...

[@Dakonus]

It's cause most people on fortnite are using Cronus zens and strikepacks it's why Microsoft is banning them these people don't even need to try cause the device does it for them so nobody's gonna get good regardless unless the cheating goes down which statistics are insane with this game for cheating or using devices that aren't allowed

[@TappyGamingg]

It is true because I couldn’t triple or double edit with my thumb overlapped on the joystick but when I moved it I could to them comfortably

[@aapo1x]

what resolution are you using/used on this clip?

I just got a controller with paddles and that’s what helped me

[@ASTRAL.TWITCH]

So what's the setting? 😢

[@O6bsBtw]

My thumb overlaps, plus I have paddles so I rarely ever touch X, Y, B, A (I play with Xbox controller obviously )

[@tdkj0k3r94]

But you never said what is the best position like I wanted to know mainly because I noticed this while play last night that the war I had my thumb felt weird and uncomfortable and my hand got tired quickly.

[@Pringle_lays]

If you hold your thumb stick like this, you’re kinda cooked but you could fix it

[@Ghosty42064]

this is deep

[@Footballfrenzy352]

I put my whole thumb across the stick so that it’s not the rounded part touching it it’s the actual finger part leading up to it that touches it 💀

[@ValorousCart]

I play kbm on pc with index and ring finger on right and left mouse button and my thumb on the left side button and pinky on right side

[@OnlyKing-BO]

Is it normal that I use like almost the base of my thumb to move and the end to hit the other buttons?

[@SnowRiggs]

I like to use what I use beachside if I get good at the game it wouldn’t really be fun for example bo2 was fun bc a lot of ppl were new and mw2 2022 we can’t have fun without dying in 2 seconds

I don't know why but when I did play Fortnite I could never play claw on the right side I always had to use the left side it was so much easier
