I've honestly enjoyed the changes for the new GA as it's one easy button on the mouse if I need elevation. The meter thing is something I do need to get used to. Overall, I think it's a good change.

After watching this, my entire movement with Mercy has entirely changed. I’m definitely gonna use ALL of these!!

@@Skiesti I’m a console player too, and TBH I struggled to do all of the Mercy movement in OW1 until I got a pro controller with buttons on the underside. At one point, I had a goofy setup where I had crouch on R1/RB and and blue beam on L3 (the stick press button) with toggle beam on. It was the only way I could superjump consistently on the default controller, but then I couldn’t easily crouch while shooting. I now have jump and crouch bound to my 2 under-buttons, which has been tremendously helpful for all heroes with free-flight and other heroes with jump tech. For Mercy specifically, after much iteration, I’ve come back around to mostly default bindings for her. (Before, I had swapped Rez and Jump, so Rez was on X and Jump was on L2. Now that I have the under-button for jump, I no longer have to take my thumb off of the aim stick to Rez, which makes it much easier to turn and “catch” a soul.) Not movement-related, but I also swapped her weapon switch and reload buttons, as the default reload can be tapped while moving and the default weapon swap cannot. For using Mercy’s new movement, I haven’t changed any keybinds, but I think it should be easier to find a setup that works because you no longer _need_ to be able to do a crouch-GA. Turning up the sensitivity and turning down aim smoothing can help with being able to quickly turn to set a bounce direction. I haven’t changed those personally, but I already had low aim smoothing and high sens. Makes the pistol a bit hard to use, but at least snipers don’t move that fast 😅. Personally, when I was using regular-tension thumb sticks, the fastest sense I could handle was 60/30. I have higher-tension thumb sticks now and play on 75/37. I may continue to bump it upward if I feel like I can get away with it.

this is great for learning mercy tech, very informative

I find stationary superjump to be useful for superjump rezzes that have you standing right next to the target. It's even doable in Valkyrie, but you have to be basically touching the ground.

Thank you so much. Amazing video

this is very helpful, thank you!

amazing mercy information as always, thank u Ski!! :D

As a Mercy enjoyer I found myself practicing some of the jumps with GA. But this crouch SJ tech blew my mind hahaha. Thanks!!

This is such a good guide and helped me understand what weird moves I was doing long. Mercys guardian angel is so confusing lol. Amazing guide

i’m pretty new at mercy but i’ve been doing amazing after learning the new movements! i suggest for new players at well to practice in mercy parkour in custom games if you wanna get a hang of it in different maps!

Wow, thanks. I'm completely new to overwatch, had no idea there was a super jump and that its input is crouch. My siblings love it when I play as Mercy, and I'm sure the opposing team hates me. Things are gonna get more now that I can super jump!

Thank you I just installed the game and want to invest my time in playing support in ranked. This will definitely improve my mercy games.

I actually bound crouch on E and on my mouse (I have rez also bound on my mouse) Because the original SJ was having to press crouch first, it put me into a bad habit I struggled to change. Helped a LOT keeping crouch away from my shift.

Decided to get serious into playing Mercy, thankfully I knew where to go to find tips for her movement 😂 Thanks, this has been very helpful!

Thanks for the guide :)

I was very hesitant about these changes at first, after perfecting her movement over the years, I thought it would be a massive nerf (looking at the meter) but when I tried her out for myself, I fell in love and I now see how much of a buff it is. I'm finding toggle ga + crouch ga helps a lot with close range jumps, I can get the red bar from 5 meters. and for old sj I only have to press crouch once instead of twice. Toggle ga I haven't used in years, but with this new tech it kind of feels suited to it, especially on controller.

super helpful video with the time stamps and keyboard buttons on the bottom right 🥺💖

Thank you! I'm trying to make my guides as easy to follow as possible :>

Used to have good movement in OW1. I carried over to OW2 a long while after it came out and had no idea they changed her movement so here i was trying to jump and all that thinking I just sucked or something. This guide is great. will definitely be using these 😊

Super helpful guide. For whatever reason, I'm having trouble staying at a relatively high altitude for a long time. While still in the air, I typically have to GA to a teammate and SJ back up high and then start the whole process over again. I just need to continue to practice, I guess.

I absolutely love the new GA tech in Mercy's kit, its been so much fun ti play her! I've been lucky-ish with the new tech too. I had to merge accounts and switch to playing on Xbox (my dinky laptop can't play ow2 and I can't get a new rig yet). So I had to completely relearn Mercy movement on a controller (the default button mapping is so bad lol), and as a result it was super easy for me to pick up on the new crouch cancel. And interestingly, now that I don't have to worry about sj consistency, I've noticed that my general map awareness and positioning is rather lacking. So, now I can work on these fundamentals a lot more and improve!

I had a game the other day where it was just me and the Roadhog left alive after the attacking team used a bunch of ults, and I was bouncing around all over the place being evasive and keeping him alive and contesting the payload with several backwards slingshots while he had to hide in cover to wait for his breather cooldown. And then the enemy Junkrat tried to go after our respawners as they were coming in behind me, and the Ana slept him and killed him right as I was doing a longer backwards bounce to try to slide into cover since I wasn’t needed on the payload anymore and I landed right on the Total Mayhem and died 😂

2 Minutes of your video and you already saved me *-*

I watched your guide and got play of the game as Mercy in the first test game 😊

I haven’t seen anyone show their PlayStation mercy keybinds so here’s some I’d recommend Crouch- L2 GA-L1 Blue Beam-R2 Yellow Beam- R1 Rez- Circle Jump- X I really want to emphasise unbinding crouch from circle to L2, as having toggle crouch off (which you should also do) means you will have to sacrifice control of either your movement stick or aiming stick if not make it very uncomfortable or flicky, (doing this means you’ll have to rebound Rez) I also chose to swap primary and secondary fire because it will help you get into the habit of defaulting to damage boost rather than healing (second priority) Hope this helped someone

Oh for sure! I'm going to release a lot of different Mercy guides and I'll definitely end up making one that's related to her damage boost and who is good to pocket. Until then, to get you started, flankers like Sombra, Tracer, and Genji are normally okay by themselves. Heroes like Ashe, Cassidy, Pharah, Echo, Hanzo, Soldier are more likely to need your help. I know that's leaving out some DPS but I think that'll help for now!

Might also be worth mentioning that GA pops you up a bit when moving toward allies who are level with you. This means you need to look down slightly to get through doorways sometimes

@kennyiskenny7786

For doorways I press crouch immediately followed by ga. She'll glide to them low to the ground so ensure you get through doorways

Thank you Skiesti! You made everything super clear and I was able to replicate all of them after spending some time in the training range. Several questions: 1. Is GA jump (at 02:20) the same as cancelling GA immediately with either rez or space thus getting the tiny hop at the beginning of GA, or is there more to it? 2. Is the "delay makes you go further" (at 03:42) the result of a higher meter charge, or is there more to it? 3. Sideways GA (at 04:12): Does holding A or D really affect your initial slingshot trajectory or is it just the result of the in-air control you have after cancelling GA (like the V-Superjump at 6:56)? I tested it by either holding down A or D before pressing space or pressing them immediately after, and could discern no difference between my trajectories. 4. Does crouch GA make any difference to your movement after you press space/crouch? In other words, is there any point in doing slingshot/super jump the old way if hitbox/getting stuck on props during the initial GA is not a concern? 5. You mentioned the need to double tap crouch if you have it double-bound (at 06:27). I noticed that you only need to double tap crouch if you kept crouch held down after initiating crouch GA. Since I always let go of crouch after starting crouch GA and thus never noticed this issue, I wonder if there is any actual benefit to holding down crouch after GA? Thanks again for making this guide. It is very comprehensive and very helpful!

Honestly, a huge fan of the new movement. Works extremely well w/ Lucio

Her dash reminds me of the Meathook from Doom Eternal. I'm new to Overwatch but found myself getting big healing numbers every game and staying alive for most fights, just because of how evasive her movement can be.
