Skating Speed (EASHL)
Hi, Can I get some sort of confirmation on what impacts skating speed? I have a teammate who is being outpaced to the puck even though he is 95/95 and in full sprint. So my questions are 1: Does...
Forum Discussion
I understand. But these were two players who were both already going in a straight line. Of course agility/ping matters but not once you're in the straight line sprint (I'd think)
@kdsmaclean Stamina/Endurance also matters. And you'd be shocked how much the other stats matter. Even what may seem like a straight line might not be 100% straight at least I feel.
Fair enough. What about height / skating style? I have been told rumors that skating style impacts speed. And again, these were much larger players.
@kdsmacleanI mean if one truly did exist you would see all the esport players using it. Like every character in Apex big or small runs at the same speed but the animation sometimes make people feel like they are going slower but really aren't. In Destiny 2 if you move your FOV back you feel faster also. It's illusions.
If it did truly exist the community would have outed it by now.
I mean, that's the claim being made though, and it is why I'm asking. It doesn't mean it's true - but yes, the claim is that pros ARE doing that. So that's why I'm asking 🙂
EVIDENCE:
Below is a video where someone claims pros are using certain skating styles for better puck pickups/deking etc.
