Video example 1 : I can pull off the first one. I CANNOT do the second one.

Video example 2 : I cannot cancel the AA animation that fast.

Any tips pro Riven players?

TL;DR

I can cancel AA animation, I cant cancel Q. And from the videos I doubt Q was even cancelled

In other words you CAN cancel AA animation with the next Q, but you CANNOT cancel the Q animation with the move command? If I am understanding that right, you just need practice. I'm Silver 3, Riven is my most played (not in ranked, in norms & on smurf) by far and I still can only sometimes do the Q right. Practice till you have it; when you have it practice till it's boring; when it's boring practice it some more.

wow, this is the first time I've seen this I love how smooth the transition is from Riven AA to her Broken wings animations as if it actually made sense

That Q thing is easy, I don't know how to describe it. After I watched the video I tried doing it a few times and after you do it like three times you pick it up, maybe you're not doing it right? Try posting a video of you doing it.

Video is doing it very slow. The moment you see riven slash her blade trigger the damage, completely cancel her auto by moving slightly and q again for lightning fast speed.

Edit 1: This requires insane APM (actions per minion) or extremely accurate clicking. I don't even think a regular human could do this, if they could and perfected it that'd be scary

If you guys watch video 1. There is the regular combo, and then there is the fast combo.

He clicks on the ground to move to cancel Q animation, which is like wtf.. that's not human
