Thanks for doing these. I came to this game really late, and there was precious little material for people trying to learn. There were only 3 videos on Youtube of top players playing CA. I had to stalk them and upload demos myself. It's weird that now there are people streaming on Twitch, and making tutorial videos and such.
Of course, nothing will ever stop me from just charging at the biggest cluster of green Keels I can see. That's just how I like to play. It doesn't work....like EVER, but I use my dead-time productively rolling smokes and watching Youtube videos.
I'm playing CA right now.

Tutorial videos for positioning in CA

Thats a thing

Ayyy

You really are a miserable fuck. This guy takes the effort to do something constructive for the community and all you can be is a dick, congrats.

thanks for pointing it out

Judging by your anger I suppose you are one of the people who actually need those tutorials :D

And for the record, what he is doing IS NOT contructive. Its actually the opposite!

By overcomplicating this mode, he is doing a disservice to the beginners who will actually follow his shitty advice. They will refrain from making their own conclusion of the "meta", and thus new sya_'s will be born, and an entire new generation of 1400 elo CA dorks will come to life who dont realize that CA isnt Quake

so you're the one defining "quake". okay. i was wondering.

Cool story bro, let me know when part 2 is out.

Why is it esr users always want every guide to follow their idea of how things should be? People should be able to do whatever they want, if the idea is trash then the video will be forgotten. End of story.

Sorry for hurting your feelings, yoyoman

hehe thought the same thing ehehheh

I didn't watch the entire thing, and I already disagree with some of the stuff he said, but cred for doing it. More quake more attention more players, keep it up people <3

So what do you not agree with?

I'm not gonna go into a big rant, but I'll point out one example and why.

He states a minute into the video that on dm6 you "need"/"want" a railer on railledge because it covers you from that angle and you can rail towards bridge where the rest is.

CA and Quake is never that easy. First of all, for that to be effective in the long run, you need a Silencep or better, who hits 11 out of 10 rails. Secondly, it's all depending on who you play, and who your team is. Use your strenghts, abuse their weaknesses. Quake is never this easy, this is why I did tdm tutorials I never went into scenarios, because they always differ and should always be treated differently.

Second, now he's just putting the thought in 1200-elo players head that they can be the railer, because it "needs" to be done, and they will always die last, they dont have to get mass-rocketed from bridge.

In short, tl;dr: Quake isn't this simplistic. His positioning advice is basic publicplay at best. I still give him credit for "trying"(sounds harsh, not meant in a mean way).

Adding to the 1200 elo railer-position part, MEANING there will be 3v4 on bridge and the rest of the team will get buttloved.

I would agree with you, from my experience in public ca, having a railer and 3v4 on bridge you are likely to lose. I definitely prefer 4v4 bridge.
But he also explains what to do if the enemy team has a railer which is a valuable lesson.

I listened, I agreed with some, some not. As I said, I won't analyze his entire video. :)

edit: typo

all cool brah

My thoughts exactly :p

Coo bro. <3 :D

I really respect the fighting skills of CA players and lately started playing few CAs to improve my fighting skills too (and for warmup of course). Used to play ffa for that, but ffa has actually tactics involved and u don't start with all weapons and thus, it helps in certain aspects, but for pure aim probably not as much as CA.

Anyway, here is my ULTIMATE CA GUIDE:

1. Stay together if possible

If u see ur teammates willing to play together, then join them. If they leave you alone, then play desperado too (u can't win a 1 or 2 vs 4), or try to follow a teammate or two.

2. If it ends up to u vs another one, then let him do his circus tricks and when he flies by you, punch him in the face.

Don't forget the community part.

Sounds like you're speaking from experience.

Don't worry team, get on my back. I'll carry, no problem.
