The swap from Hybrid to the Octane feels really hard to do, but swapping to Fennec, I can almost perfectly carry over all mechanics instead of Octane. It's insane.

I started off with the octane, but found more success early on using the Dominus and Breakout. But once I got the Fennec, it quickly became my main choice and most confidence boosting vehicle for sure
I tried maining the Fennec for a few hours, and surprising I was scoring EVERY SINGLE SHOT! I was not even missing 😁. Thanks for the tips!

I've been maining fennec since about 3k hours, but I always love going back to the octane for a bit here and there. I always thought of it as kind of a honeymoon phase because it would wear off over time, but now that you talked about the "subtle variation effect", it makes a lot more sense. I will often slightly tweak my camera and other settings if I feel in a rut for a bit (I heard GarrettG mention one time that it can make things feel fresh lol)

I'm actually surprised by this video (how true it is) because I always used the octane, always, but when I was starting to get high c3 and now I gc, I switched to fennec for a game and always had the feeling fennec was making me play better, now I saw this video and don't don't it's all in my head and not true
The subtle variation effect also applies to different hitboxes. If you switch from Octane to Merc, then Dominus, Fennec, etc., in theory, you will learn faster. Confidence is everything in this game so it's good to have the mentality 'I can play well with any car'.
Hey Luke! Just a quick addition to SVE (subtle variation effect). The effect doesnt work the same way as placebo which is purely mentality. SVE works by forcing ur brain to adapt to new environments (in the experiment its the slightly changed sens. You might not notice but your brain automatically tries to adapt which results in higher brain activity for the desired task. SVE is commonly used by high level aimers. It wouldn't work by just changing ur car design or color on the other hand. Just wanted to clarify that :)
Insane quality on this video , loved it! , Huge respect to you and your editor , amazing job 👏🏼
Your materials are amazing in terms of content itself but also visual representation. Respect for you and team preparing it.
They’ve done studies that have proved that if you know about a placebo, as long as you believe that it will make you better, it WILL even though you know that it’s a placebo
I think you have misinterpreted the subtle variation effect. The study was on a mechanical change and you are only suggesting a visual change. While I understand why you might think this would be related, the important factor was that the feel was changed by the settings being changed, i.e. a physical difference in how you execute the action.
Hey Luke, love the content man keep it up
Fennec I love your videos I am currently a plat trying to get to diamond and champ I also see how much work you put into these videos so round of applause

It depends on people. I never had that kind of "heavy" feeling when switching cars. Especially when switching cars from the same hitbox. The feeling of accuracy for precise touches because of differences when it comes to visual garbage outside of the hitbox is a different story though.

@MaxVulpes
Жыл бұрын
I think it may just be an illusion becuase of the visual compared to the hit box, i think both cars are equally fast/slow, just that the fennec feels slow, but i think that is just good because if you feel slow you will try to play faster, if you feel fast you will just stay at your current speed or stay slow. The fennec might feel slower becuase its visuals is more accurate to the actual hitbox. the fennec visuals compared to the octane, is a bit bigger, and fills the box more. Just a personal observation and speculation.

RyanGoldfish's video on different hitboxes is the best, and I consistently find myself going back to it. After weighing pros and cons and figuring out what works for me and what I wanted to prioritize, I went with Hybrid. It's about the same as the octane, but it has a little more length like the Dominus, so it hits haaard. Jager has treated me best, and the Venom is sick for demo play some reason. I'm trying out the Skyline now, finally.

Youre always super helpful, hopefully someday i can get into some coaching too
I was an esper main for a long time, (got me from d1-c1) and I really enjoyed it. I switched to octane and it felt good. I also tried fennec for a bit and it also felt good. The main problem I have is that I do not like the octane or fennec design, I don't like to use them. I now use zippy and takumi a lot and I love em. They are not op or "good" cars to ppl but I do rly good in them.

I definitely agree with this, I actually have my most hours in dominus because I started training with it to learn better aireal controll and like the car for its strong flicks in ones and if I just switched from it to another hit box I wouldn’t play as good.
Everyone sleeping on the Proteus
A benefit to the octane is that it has that engine in the back which is pretty closely lined up to the center of mass of the car, whereas the fennec doesnt have as distinct of a visual cue. I'd argue that its easier to dribble with the octane for this reason, though matching the hitbox seems more important to me.
The crazy part about the placebo effect is that it was tested and found to work even when you know of its existence and how it is affecting you. You don't have to be oblivious to reap its benefits :)
What a great video!
Fkn genius bro straight up. Thanks homie
Bro well done for all the edits I mean come on dude bro this is the best edit I have ever seen dude bro
the edits are literally always on a different level man
Something you missed is that with most camera settings you can see the front of the fennec, wheras with the octane you can't, you just "know" where the front of your car is.
awesome job!
I can confirm it with the switching... Sometimes i'll try to learn a mechanic and it just wont work on the fennec, so I switch to the octane, learn it there, and when I switch back I can now do it witj both cars... Octane also feels more nimble and fast at times, so I like to use it to just change playstyle ever so slightly
About the subtle variation effect. I changed my fennec from black to tw and overall the whole design. I felt almost like I was better with the new design and learnt to hit some better shots etc. The subtle variation effect might be the answer as to why I progressed faster but I can't be sure
my placebo effect was playing REALLY bad music sped up. my friend hates it but it does make me play better randomly. it helps me not panic and lets me stay calm. but hopefully it still works after you told me that
Awesome video Luke
But really the hitboxes are the exact same, therefore there is no advantage to using one or the other. They are literally the same car.
I like the Fennec a lot more because i can see the nose of the car more easily, which makes it easier to predict and time shots. I've also used the Golf a bit, and it also plays similarly imho.
I go with the GTI atm cause i'm own one for myself. Would be nice how it is compared to FENNEC and OCTANE. I think somewhere in the middle of both.
this makes so much sense! I cannot tell you how many times ive tried to hit the ball with the tail of my car using octane and I thought I was just really bad but maybe I not and I should start using fennec, but I dont have fennec so I guess ill stick with octane for now
The subtle effect is real, o learned to dribble better with octane, by playing some time with breakout, and i think i learned some more playing with other hitboxes,that was early when i saterted playing
I knew it fits better for a long time. But now I’m higher ranked I notice the difference more. I just don’t know if it’s placebo or not. But I switched to the fennec anyway
I recently switched to the Fennec and it feels so much better. It took a little bit to get used to the hit box and how the car handles but once I got used to it, it's way better than the Octane.
Thanks for the shoutout luke 😄
This editing is immaculate
The only two cars I have ever played with are Octane and Fennec. Makes sense now that I see how close they are in many ways. Love the content, ggs.
Nomad is the closest for to actual hotbox if any car in my opinion. Uses merc hitbox but matches almost perfectly.
bro, u are s smart. great work on the videos.
I’ve been switching my settings almost every day for like a week, and I have been noticing that I’ve gotten better despite what I thought
one thing you got wrong about the placebo effect is that even when a subject is told that what they are experiencing is purely placebo, or that that the pills they've been taking were northing more than sugar pills, the placebo will *still* keep working
I actually have been swapping between Dominus and October since I first started playing, I'm good with both cars and I'm starting to shy away a bit from the Dominus because I'm doing more air play which I find more difficult with the Dominus
Keep it up 🎉
The hitboxes certainly don't act like boxes while dribbling. I'm curious about how Psy made that work. Also, I swap between the Octane, Fennec, Jager and Diestro all the time. I'd have some insight if I didn't whiff so damn much.
I believe this is true but nobody but JZR realized that the harbinger is way better fitting for octane hitbox then octane or fennec for octane hitbox its like the looks merc and octane put together

I played with octane from when I started I swapped to fennec and massive difference in my performance kinda funny but I just feel so more confident with it.
i used to use the fennec then recently switched to octane and have felt better with the octane ever since it doesn’t make sense since most of my learning was on the fennec
the variation effect thing is why I played so good in gen.g decal when I first got it
Always been a fennic driver have enjoyed the look and feel. Really need to finally work mechanics...kinda bad to be est 2015 in high D that can only rarely double off the backboard.
I would love to watch a pro match in which the Fennec hitbox was secretly changed from Octane to Dominus, and see how big of a difference would they notice
I have been using the Mudcat for years, I am not interested in being as good as a squishy or as a zen, I just like to enjoy the game in Champion, since the rankeds are very interesting and I love how the car looks, I know it is the most efficient It's the octane or the fennec, but for me, part of playing (let's not forget that this is a game) is enjoying and using the car that you like both in performance and visuals, for me, the beautiful Mudcat. Nice video.

Same hitbox. It just how you feel with the car cuz I switch back and forth depending how I feel if I feel bad with the fennec I go to octane and play better and the same but octane to fennec it’s just mentality but they are the same
U must do a tutorial for THIS INSANE EDIT BROOO😅
Great video, but I'm gonna have to disagree with your take on the subtle variation effect. The way i understand it, is, changing your aim sensitivity in an FPS challenges your hand-eye coordination. I feel like changing your car colour wouldn't simulate this effect and would be more similar to changing your body and gun skins in an FPS.
I switched to fennec bc trying to learn wave dashes with the octanes suspension was annoying me. The fen just has such a clear bottom to the car. IG that's the point is that it fits the hitbox better but that was the specific reason I swapped.
Yoooo! I just saw my post in the vid! Can't believe I'm actually in a vid!
The Dominus in the corner starting its Villanova arc... *Vroom Zoom Vroom Vroom Zmoom Nyom* Evil car noises
I feel more consistent with the octane but I think it’s because I’ve put most of my time in the game using octane
I like the hybrid hitbox for some reason.
I'm constantly switching back and forth between the two lol
Bro! This happens to me last night I changed the skin on my octane and I did things that I couldn't do ever😂
My placebo effect is thinking I do better with my ransoms then my actual tm8s lol
Any else been rocking with the VW? I have been using it this whole season and it feels like the Fennec but feels a little faster
he said switching between the fennec and octane *every couple weeks* is a good idea, i switch between them a couple times a day sometimes, could that be having a negative effect on my gameplay? i just switch whenever i lose or feel "heavy"

I feel the same, fennec always feels a bit heavier, but I think that just makes me play slower and to my strengths. When I play with the octane I start doing all kinds of crazy stuff
But what if I'm used to the Volcano case. I just like it a lot, much more than Octane, and I just don’t have access to Fennec
Damn I guess I need to wait until the 2024 video
I've just switched and i love it.
Visual effect is very important, I find Fennec more acurate on that than the Octane,is. Eventho I have 1.3k hour on Octane, I think I prefer Fennec now
Considering the octane, fennec, and scarab have the exact same hit box I don't think it would matter much.
Why don’t people use other octane hit box cars? Like… surely SOMETHING else feels just as good as the octane besides the fennec 😂
Music is a must have for me in rl that’s my placebo lol
