I have kb/m, but I use my controller for playing. Super strafe is not noticeable from the vantage point of the user.
Me and another guy went kb/m one day and noticed while testing in factional that we were harder to hit within minutes of first trying the kb/m.
We think it is because moving the joystick side to side makes it look almost like you are accelerating into direction changes because it physically moves through the space between left and right, this makes you move semi-smoothly through the strafe.
The kb/m can move from left to right and vice versa as fast as you have the skill/practice to support since there potentially is no delay between two separate fingers hitting two separate buttons, this results in a very twitchy back and forth movement as there seems to be no acceleration between direction changes.
One other thing we noticed is that if you watch their gun barrel, there is one trick that makes you even harder to hit by a large margin. It requires concentration, so I at least wasn't able to do it successfully very often outside of 'the lab'. The trick is that if you imagine the shooter is at the center of a clock and you are the 12:00 hand, as you move clockwise their gun barrel starts tracking you and can adjust their speed to stay on target. But if you start moving counter-clockwise then their reticle will move across our body at your combined strafe speed and the rate they were turning, which reduces the time you are in their cone of fire as you cross in front of them.. The effect increases as you close the distance with them as the same strafe speed is a higher degree per second turn for them to compensate. And with your ability to very quickly change direction with kb/m you should be able to kite the end of the barrel if you watch it closely, taking minimal damage as you dance like Donnie Burns.
You can probably see why this is difficult. Unfortunately I am not the best with kb/m and wasn't able to do this too often. But this is an effective strategy on ds3 too. Kb/m only gets a bit of an edge on the competition. |
