Max speed is different for different weapons but for knife (which is fastest) it is 250. The M4 rifles allow a slightly faster movement over the AK btw 225 vs 215 respectively. Speed while running with bomb is also 250.

Something players don't talk about is the anticipation required to counter strafe. counter strafing when you see an enemy is less effective than counter strafing to fight a common position.

except when they counter strafe to fight a "common position" they only "prefire" that spot when you are actually there. in the sense that they didn't CHECK to see if you were there, they just peak and shoot. proving they cheat. not a single player can accurately guess your camped location 100% and prefire you every time. only cheaters do that because they wallhack or have trigger-bot which shoots for them the moment you appear. the majority of people I see screaming "youre just bad, learn to counter strafe" are actually cheating. because when you watch the replay, they didn't ACTUALLY stop moving. they were in full movement and got a one tap headshot screaming "learn to counter strafe noob".... learn not to use cheats.... according to steam when they first released statistics with vacnet (the ai anti-cheat) they said 80% of the players in wingman lobbies were cheating. eighty fucking percent.... and that's with 90% AI accuracy meaning only 10% of their total data was false positives. that is fucking horrific. then you apply that "most players today cheat" mentality to every other game. rainbow6siege recently said they wont ban cheaters, instead they will increase their recoil higher and higher until the game becomes unplayable. except cheaters are, wait for it, already fucking cheating, so the increase recoil isn't going to affect them..... why wont they just BAN all the cheaters outright? because their gaming population would drop below half of what they currently see. Same goes for call of duty. same goes for counter strike. I can only hope that CS2 they actually ban cheaters, according to leaked data that once a cheater is banned the match will end and no side wins. this gives me hope that vac-net would be released fully and allowed to ban players on the spot instead of putting them into a stupid "overwatch queue" and allowed to cheat for 6 months or more (yes, valve actually lets most cheaters continue to cheat for months, ruining the game for everyone, only to ban them monthly later, because and I quote "they dont want the cheater to know WHICH cheats got them banned".... as if cheaters have 10 different cheats on their system for one game.... ridiculous.

I've been playing CS off and on for more than a decade, and I'm one of those higher ranked faceit players with lower than average counter-strafe stats. It makes sense now, even if I never noticed having bad aim on my peeks. I never thought about how I hold W+A or W+D and never counter with also the S key.
Kind of odd but I definitely struggled getting the hang of it early on 5 yrs ago or so, and now my % on leetify is consistently averaging high 80s (current period 89%, last 90%) at 2400 elo in NA. I guess it was because I trained it in aimbots with the cover walls as it felt not natural to me initially but now it is second nature without this prac. I do feel there is always room for improvement though on landing on the angle you want to and not over peeking with it.

LOL. You reset your aim to reduce recoil by stopping movement, so when you go A/D to peek corners, you literary stop for a sec to reset, allowing you to straighten a few shots with an AK before going spray. Counter Strafing is something you use when you wide swing, but the enemy is too close, so you force stop, reset, and shoot.
I learned a 70-80 % counter strafe very early in my csgo career when I still had like 20 hours since my much experienced friends would teach me the most bizarre advanced things instead of going over the basics. nowadays it is around 85-93 % or so at around 2000 hours so not much progress but it is hard to get consistent 90+ and you don't even need that most of the time

I am embarrassed to say my counter strafing is at an abysmal like 40% on leetify and I know it's because I use w way too much, and I know I don't focus on it enough so I forget to do it properly etc. Currently mainly playing LEM MM. So by no means any good at the game but it's overwhelming to both properly counter strafe, do recoil control, crosshair placement and have your teammates not communicate or have McDonald's happy meal microphones so you have to use 99% of your brain thinking about what the even fuck is going on in the game and what you should probably be doing. There's so much shit to think about all the time. I feel like, when I actually just isolate and only think about counter strafing it usually goes to above 60-70% which is what leetify will classify as not being an embarrassment to your extended family tree. So it's probably just a matter of doing one thing at a time and sacrificing all else in the game until you get it right.

Just tap it and let go of opposite. Keys input are automatically determined if there just single time input or held down. Or hold down both keys. Both ways work and holding down both is easier to do while learning.
I have couple thousands hours in CS and I didn't even realize it works this way

I'm wondering though, won't the stats be wonky if you play with smgs some rounds where you don't need to counter-strafe? Or does it only count instances where it picks up the opposite movement key stroke and calculates if you were sufficiently accurate at those instances?

You kind of still need to counter-strafe in some situations even with SMGs and yes, the stats will be a bit wonky. Though, what Leetify doesn't account for is proper counter-strafing. I don't even counter-strafe properly. I stop moving simply by letting go my A, W, S or D buttons and sometimes by crouching and it registers as counter-strafing on Leetify. I average around 85 to 90% counter-strafing this way.

I have a problem, my counterstrafing and strafing at all is awful because of input lag, whenever I press the key and release it as soon as it possible the game have a slight delay then it’s the movement, but it’s not all, the game also still hold it for more than I need, so my strafes are way more longer than I expect, and after the animation finally done and I press the opposite key it also have a delay so it works not correctly and it ruins every movement aspect in the game, its nearly impossible to escape if you accidentally opened up too much on the opponent and you didn’t expect him to be here, it’s impossible to peek tight angles, you will just stop randomly either in the middle of the space or it the wall itself, you have absolutely zero control of your model, I have 2.5k hours in this game I know what I’m talking about, I tried to go in the pc clubs in my city, in most of them is this problem, and I don’t know how to fix it, I tried multiple windows tweaks game settings, I changed my whole pc configuration, I tried multiple steam accounts, I tried different periferia keyboards and mouses it doesn’t make sense, it’s so painful to play like that…

2:10 that's the greatest bs I ever heard. Mastering double key strafe is the goal. You peak in a weird speed and angle so your opponent will be kinda confused, not always but many time is better way to get around a corner. Just watch and compare how it looks in the game.

Here is a comment, take my money for a good video
There's no such thing as 3k Elo. The Elo system has 3k as only a theoretical maximum, which would require infinite games with zero losses to achieve. In reality, 3k Elo is impossible. A rating system that allows a 3k rating, is NOT the Elo system. For some weird reason, people use "Elo" to mean any rating system, whether it's Elo or not. Under the Elo system, you could have a full suite of the best hacks ever created, never get caught, and only play against clean players, for 100 game a day, for 1000 years, and you would still not reach 3k Elo.
