Tips on Bridging in general

Butterfly Timing:

• You Butterfly time by altering your fingers on the Mouse Button in a controlled rhythm of the CPS you need
• Butterfly timing works on all devices, however is rather difficult on Controller

Learning:

• It is beneficial to learn the basics of Bridging first, like:
1. Icy
2. L-Bridge
3. Basic hold Variants
4. V1, V2, maybe even v3
5. Basic Downbridge
6. Basic Staircase
• Try to learn a certain Bridge consistently or semi-comsistently so you can re-do it in the future

Settings

Keyboard and Mouse:

• 2-3 well reachable Keybinds for Blockswitching
• Easily reachable shift button, if you have small Hands, maybe concider using Capslock as shift

Controller:
