[Sensei`hcp] i don't measure anything m8.. playing everything by the feel, that's why this game still feels fresh haha 
why you ask?Sensei says he doesn't measure anything lol. Of course he does, everyone does, everyone has their own method of "measuring" BnG shots...
You went to school and studied math, science, geometry etc, so you know about angles, physics etc, your brain is measuring those things internally as well, you've watched other people play BnG over and over, you've maybe even played pool or snooker, darts, football, tennis, golf, basketball or other sports which are pretty much the same thing just remixed into a digital video game... A combination of gravity, velocity, trajectory, angles, etc. Once you understand this, you see how pretty much every physical sport, physical activity and physical video game is related and pretty easy to do them all because for the most part it's the same thing done a bit differently using different sizes and weights of objects, different number of players, different equipment, different rules.
Just because you play "instinctually" doesn't mean you don't measure things. Your brain is giving you information about distance between worms, what fuse/bounce/lg to use to hit that distance. Also which part you are aiming for exactly, are you trying to plop, push, or just do max damage? How long you press the arrow down to move the cursor, how long you hold the spacebar down for...
Everything... ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING is measured, stop lying please.If you truly didn't measure anything, then you would be playing blind and deaf and you would be worse than a noob.
I believe what Sensei is referring to is "counting" out his shots like barman did with charts, tables, rulers and knowing how many individual notches it takes to move the cursor into position to hit whatever position the enemy is in.
Nobody does that, even walrus admits he uses the worms sprites to aim, that's a method of measuring, why do you think he can hit shots like he did in the clanner playoffs so easily?
Even as I explained on the podcast with Deadcode... EVERYBODY is a notcher and uses notches, it's impossible not to. A notch is the smallest increment of movement possible, which means if you move the cursor by 1 notch, a few times, to adjust into the right position, guess what, you're a notcher! And there is nothing wrong with that!
Using math, charts, rulers and counting out EVERYTHING you do in BnG, THAT is what we all generally believe to be lame, and gets boring real fast when you realize you're wasting your time lol.
I have my own methods of measuring shots as well based on a full screen distance, I don't have to count it out, i've done it that much it just "looks" right, but I measure most of my shots in relation to that full screen distance because I know where to aim then how to adjust.
