One thing Lucid's taught me is that there's a time and place for the Heatwave's horizontal mode. It's best used when their shields are down and the max damage from vertical mode doesn't matter anymore. It's a good confirm for when you need the kill

Shyway, your content is consistently the BEST Halo content currently on KZread! Keep up the great work. Positive, Informative and well executed. You are the Lucid of content!

The best analyst of the game analyzing the best player's plays of the game. What more could you ask for?

17:13 - I do this whole sequence a lot, and sometimes my teammates will start yelling "What are you doing? Run the flag! God you don't know how to play" lol. It's actually quite funny

Would love to see you go through the other players as well, like formal.

This is some high quality content. Love that you replay the clips that youre referring to over the paused video. Allows for you to explain without the worry that youre explaining at the right moment and without really having to stop and go back at all making the entire video seem so seamless and allows us to see exactly what your talking about. Along with your obvious extensive game knowledge makes for a fantastic vid. Great job!

Lucids just crazy good, played him acouple times and everything he does is the right play

The timing these guys have instant melee right after the shots go off , aim at body with heatwave for he beat chance to knock shield and then quick flick to the head with br love watching someone like lucid show us how to utilize these power weapons.

really hope this game takes off in the next year or two

Really appreciate the time and effort put into your videos bro. I hadn't played since Halo 3 and your videos are what got me interested in playing again. I really do think this is the most technical FPS and I love that they have these almost "secret" techniques with the in game physics that you can utilize. So cool. preciate ya

i love this that give you litle tips and refresh other one we already learn and u also give us another vision of those plays cuz u see those litle tips and movement that we maybe not see that way or see at all, sorry fo my english im french, thanks you so much for those video u made u make us love even more the game and keep the passion going by learning and i also love u on commentary u so good thank u bro

Now that's quality content. Love your vids.

That 360 jump after killing formal and scooping the sniper! He swaps back to the BR, checks the doorway for bottom mid as he swings around @ the 10:00 mark. Deliberately spun that direction to get the peek. Small, but huge when compounded together with all the information he’s processing.

20:40 regarding red bar mechanic, if you look at season 2 patch notes, 343 removed the red bar mechanic so melees consistently do the same amount of damage

That mangler kill bottom mid on recharge would still be possible post patch because the player had taken some damage before hand💀 mangler is still busted. Also, what’s the best way to send you halo clips? I’ve discovered a new jump that’s more cool than practical that I’d like to let you know about.

Can you possibly do a video to bring attention to the differences between KBM and Controller, whether it’s hit registration, aiming, movement, etc? I’ve noticed a lot of differences. For instance, when re-zooming in on KBM it’s much slower than on controller. Another one is sniping on KBM doesn’t register players hit boxes until it’s completely filled. It would be super interesting to see what you’re able to find out. If you need clips for kbm, I have quite a few.

@Wylie288

Controllers also don't require tracking. You can strafe back and forth, and the aim assist will take care of it completely. Controller players rarely miss a shot no matter how you dodge. A feat that's biologically impossible for many of the guns without aim assist. This massively buffs weapons like BR, AR, Pistol, Commando. And is the main source of the higher accuracy for controller plays. Its not things like the sniper or skewer. Its the complete lack of requirement to track aim on console.

See some suggestions in the comments, here's mine- should do a video explaining why drift is advantageous. I hate that it is, but it's good to know and I think a lot of players still don't.

Honestly I haven't been keeping up much with the Halo comp scene. On and off now since Halo infinite, before that I hadn't watched since the Halo 3 MLG days. I have to say I really like your style of video. Very good breakdowns, and very well supported by the clips of movement examples you add in from custom games to have a visual of what you talk about. (example being the curb slide on live fire about 12,5 minutes into the video) Have you broken down the ~17 minute best of 5 game they played recently-ish? The recent OpTic/FaZe matchups have been incredible but sometimes it's fun to look at an absolute stomping of a series.

Around 18:50 he has 3 snipes left, shoots 1, the ammo goes down to zero, then 3 seconds later adds a +2 already loaded lol

This was next level by Lucid. He actually had two snipers in his load out(one that he picked up at S7 spawn and one that was laying on the ground. So when he ran out of ammo he switched to the other sniper.

Surprised Halo content creators haven’t gone bankrupt considering 343 Industries absolutely plummeted the population.

@20:34 - This "damage advantage" mechanic was removed in an update in early May. Now if both are weak enough to die, you will always trade. Previously, as you allude to, whoever had less health would die. The old system rewarded doing more damage prior to melee, while the new system is more logical, less confusing, and less infuriating.

Yo shyway wtf why aren’t you on the cameras at the last halo event? I like watching you way more that other dude with tony. What happened for real

Hope they go back to spectating with the teams colors instead of just red and blue like at 15:08. It always looks goofy when Faze is playing a team like Cloud 9 and Faze's stats are in Blue and C9 in red.

18:25 doesn't he also somehow reduce half the sniper reload animation? I didn't see that last mag slam we usually see before ammo changes. Probably a swap glitch, but it's fair game, and just in time to hit that shot, absolutely insane

Yes, he cuts the reload by switching weapons (it does look a little faster than usual, could be a theatre bug) - but note that in Halo Infinite this does not save you time when firing the next shot - lucid likely does this off habit (it used to provide an advantage in other Halo games).

As a huge Halo fan, Pznguin made quite an impression when he got most, if not all, of the trivia questions they showed on the breaks in the tournaments.
