gameplay-tips

[manic bough]

I've played for so long now though it feels like starting over when I reset them to default. But I will never get past Plat-Diamond.

[rotund gulch]

yeahh its gonna feel like that for a hot minute

gotta keep practicing

[shrewd gulch]

can someone tell me whats wrong with my speedflips, video in #gameplay-highlights

[rotund gulch]

ohhh ur a keyboarder too

i think ur not cancelling the diagonal flip fast enough

[shrewd gulch]

oh

I try as fast as I can but thanks for the tip

[rotund gulch]

its gotta be like almost instantly after you flip

[shrewd gulch]

yeah, ill keep grinding it

[rotund gulch]

good luck

[shrewd gulch]

thanks

[dark rose]

if you got side mouse buttons you could bind air roll to them

[rotund gulch]

my side mouse buttons dont work too well

[warm yoke]

@severe mirage

[rotund gulch]

😢

[dark rose]

pain, changing my air roll to my mouse buttons helped a lot

[rotund gulch]

okay thanks for the tip!

[hazy rivet]

why does the ball bounce when i try to dribble the ball and turn?

[marsh cargo]

i bound it to f and g honestly

[rotund gulch]

what finger do you press it w??

[marsh cargo]

index

the fingers i use to press wasd are kind of all over the place

but since i am at max pressing 2 of the wasd keys at a time while air rolling...works out fine? i guess? i haven't really thought about it

[hazy rivet]

how do i make it bounce less

[rotund gulch]

interestinggg

cuz i was trying out air roll left on l shift for a while

[cerulean lichen]

im kinda hardstuck plat, been diamond 1 once was wondering if anyone could help me get better?

[marsh cargo]

left ship i just kept as powerslide

[marsh cargo]

shot accuracy, shot placement, and rotations

that's sort of what most plats tend to lack, in no particular order

[winter rain]

and recoveryu

[rustic gull]

@atomic magnet

[rustic condor]

practice until you can triple reset then you’re set

[marsh cargo]

plat recovery is ok if you disinclude the amount of boost they use

for recoveries i would say just flip more

[rotund gulch]

powersliding everytime you land

[rustic condor]

Learn how to wave dash for recoveries, hold power slide when you wave dash too to keep your momentum

[marsh cargo]

i tried learning wave dash but i always ended up spending too much time in the air (after the jump) to make me go faster than just flipping

[heavy linden]

Guys is it good that my ones rank is the same as my 2s rank this season I'm gold 3 1s and same for 2s but last season I was plat 2 and now im hardstuck

[winter rain]

yh sure but if i was u i would keep plaiyn ones

[heavy linden]

Ok

[lunar pine]

or just dont flip when you dont need to

only to cover distance is when its needed

[paper flame]

Who pinged me

[cyan sage]

[orchid tide]

/looking for group there

[junior moon]

ok

but i feel like i make a lot of mistakes and im not sure what to do

[orchid tide]

mechanical mistakes -> practice
rotational mistakes -> switch up your playstyle, there are also many good toutorials on it
positioning mistakes -> analyze replays

[coral charm]

Thank you. I guess I need to wait a few minutes to make another post but anyone feel like partying up for a some chill games? 2v2 or 3v3

[orchid tide]

[orchid condor]

[coral charm]

[orchid condor]

[coral charm]

grooming joke?

[mellow inlet]

don’t worry he gets banned like every week

[coral charm]

i was just messing around but i didnt see anything that bad. he was kind of rude at first but started to come around

[orchid condor]

probably ban evade

[coral charm]

hahaha oh one of those

all starting to make sense now

[orchid condor]

he's alright tho, he just likes to troll now and then

some ppl take it serious and he keeps going as well lol

[coral charm]

yea i have zero issues with his actions. it was quite entertaining

yes, i was just egging him on. i wasnt upset in the slightest

anyways if anyone feels like running a couple games hmu. i just like to have fun but i am very competitive

[orchid condor]

i wanted to see this 1v1 😔

[coral charm]

me too. imagine if i beat him,

[orchid condor]

its very possible, his brain wasnt made for 1s 😂

but if ur gold ish then nah no chance

[coral charm]

i was champ 1 last season

idk wtf i did for those 10 games lmao

smoked too much crack or something

[orchid condor]

his 1s rank would be easily higher than that if he tried

but he needs some lessons from kurst, kurst is usually back within seconds

from a ban that is

[limpid dagger]

kurst is my goat fr

[coral charm]

i might have like a 5% chance

i rarely 1v1 also

maybe i should practice

[orchid condor]

did i actually summon kurst

[limpid dagger]

no i am not kurst

[orchid condor]

oh

[coral charm]

unban capri. we need this 1v1 for humanity sake. bpls

[limpid dagger]

i aspire to be as gold 3

im in plastic 6 rn

[cyan sage]

i would like an apology

[sturdy wagon]

wdym

[coral charm]

oh boy. why would anyone sandbag for lower rank? im genuinely confused

[limpid dagger]

losers on the internet have a tendency to pretend to be a lower rank than they are for some reason

not implying that you’re a loser on the internet

[coral charm]

geez,m why start that with losers lmao

[limpid dagger]

because it gets annoying

[coral charm]

everyonme needs to take a deep breathy. ;lets have some fun boys!

[cyan sage]

we can jsut do a name and pass lobby

[coral charm]

[neon owl]

im like gc2 but looking for coaching, im willing to pay if anyone knows where to look

[lilac whale]

match the speed of the ball to the speed of your car, a perfect dribble will have the car and ball moving at the same pace

[neon owl]

what rank is u

[lilac whale]

I am grand champion 2

[neon owl]

more mechanical or game sense player?

[lilac whale]

both, because I've put a lot of hours into both, but my main strength would guaranteed be game sense and tactical decisions over mechanics, but at a higher level and when you try to actively improve like I do, you train everything

[neon owl]

ok coach me

[lilac whale]

well you don't get my time by demanding it, you need to ask.

but if you're really looking for help all you have to do is start by asking nicely.

[neon owl]

damn mb i meant to come off in a more ambitious way like pls coach me sensei

[lilac whale]

all good, I currently will not be coaching tonight.

[stuck thunder]

me personally I just ballchase

[lilac whale]

I'm in this chat though if you have questions 🙂

dm me you name, replays, and what you would like help with for future reference, otherwise we can talk all you want in here 🙂

[neon owl]

yes i consistenly use free air roll and when i go up in the air and spin all the movements i do are on the left half of my joystick (spinning left) and i feel as tho the entire right side of the field and air roll is uncomfortable and undeveloped would practicing this result in more consitent gameplay

[stuck thunder]

not tonight, this season tho for sure

[lilac whale]

you will need to learn to get comfortable with one of the directional air rolls (left or right), while in mid air the only time you want to be rolling is to adjust the nose of your car mid-flight. Secondly you never need to air roll until the final moment when shooting/striking a ball with power in the air. Rolling will only confuse you and have your nose end up in a random place. Movements in RL need to be precise. DF5E-21DD-54B7-A56F should be a good warm up. The very first shot is a shot where you do not need to roll until you are about to strike/shoot.

@twilit forge #gameplay-tips message

[lilac whale]

also, practicing every, and i mean every aspect of the game is necessary to improve. You will never answer "no", to the question, "should i pratice this?"

you would, but I'm not coaching tonight, as I've said twice now, ask me questions here please.

[neon owl]

i feel as though i put too much trust in my teammates sometimes and go upfield for a pass assuming they are gonna get it past 1 and to me a lot and its become a rlly bad habit from when i was ranking up originally with my friend who was a higher rank than me. Its rlly hard to fix because of how ingrrained it is and a lotta goals come from me being outta position

(not too much trust in my tm8s im just leaving them in potential easy 1on1s tnh)

[lilac whale]

here is a list of daily skills-training I do in freeplay every day I play for at least 30 mins (this is excluding any warm ups in custom training):

withouth the ball: speed flips, wave dashes, fast aerials, powersliding to turn 90 degrees, powersliding to turn 180 degrees, half fliips, kick offs.

with the ball: dribbling, flicking, striking from ground, striking from air, wall to air dribble, wall to air striking, ground to air dribble, bounce dribbles, hook shots, backboard clears, clears from the ground, catching the ball on the back board

[neon owl]

gosh darn bro how u not ssl yet whats ur epic?

[lilac whale]

you most likely do. If you are a person who hasn't played the game enough or is looking to improve you will not need to rely on others. Trust yourself to fail more. The more you try and fail, the faster you will learn. If you say to yourself "man, I shouldve jumped there", or, "I hesitated" then you clearly aren't failing enough. Try more to challenge, try to play faster even if it's uncomfortable and most importantly work on this shit in freeplay. Your ranked games should not be where you spend time experimenting with your overall car movement. Bad habits will occur but it's up to you to break them, trust me I've had 100s of bad habits I used to do when I was platinum. I forced myself to change by failing A LOT.

[lilac whale]

if you think ssl is easy to acheive just bc someone plays/trains a lot then you are majorly mistaken.

[neon owl]

nah id just assume someone whos achieved the same rank as me with a much better work ethic and training regimen that they follow would be gc much faster

[lilac whale]

you're not thinking about the whole picture. This is a multiplayer game. For every person like me there are 1000 more. The higher rank you get the harder it is to acheive the next rank. Simple math. (might not be simple to some, don't mean to sound like I'm better at math.)

get good. practice, play, fail, learn, etc..... pretty symantically null question. It answers itself.

[neon owl]

nah dw im stupid and rlly ass at the game

how many wins u got on ur acc Chae?

never

[lilac whale]

wins? idk. I have around 20000 matches played, but I calculated it recently and 75% of my time is in training/freeplay.

when you decide to.....

[lilac whale]

also I'd say 10000 of those are 1v1s

[neon owl]

Chae how u play 1v1s and not get bored

[onyx forum]

could someone tell me if these are right?

[lilac whale]

@civic venture correct me if I'm wrong, but you are the kind of guy that will say "this game is hard" but then say "why am I not getting better"... you need to put some faith in yourself on the subject matter if you really want to get better.

[neon owl]

play a lot and find people slightly better than u like one rank and play with them and learn

think about the game and how your movements affect ur postition

[neon owl]

I got 5574 total games

[lilac whale]

look up how to be self-taught, inspire yourself, if you actually care then go sit in training, go teach yourself new things, watch videos, research, put any amount of effort in. Your results and rank and skill level will not change overnight. This is a marathon not a sprint. If youre expecting results overnight then you will not be playing RL for long, I'm sorry.

[neon owl]

profile states top left in RL

no i tried

RL tracker dont show it

[lilac whale]

no

[neon owl]

dawg with 10k 1s games ur defense and ball awareness must be nutty i def gottta learn from u

[lilac whale]

Well trust me a shit ton of those matches I failed over and over and over

[neon owl]

ye no duh thats how u got better

[lilac whale]

your perception is wrong mostly

10000 matches played doesn't equate to being skilled

[neon owl]

id say ur wiser than me

[lilac whale]

it's more a percentage of how much information I soaked in over those 10k 1s

[neon owl]

been through more scenarios

more times

[lilac whale]

well I'm a person who learns from my mistakes, that's a wise choice I consciously make

[neon owl]

u smart

what region u based

[lilac whale]

my ranks are currently champ2 in 1v1/grandchampion2 in 2v2 and I haven't started my 3s journey yet (even though I've played for a long time)

[lilac whale]

NA east

well no player who is great at RL has never played 1v1

might be time to start and learn from your mistakes that way

[neon owl]

c3/c3/c3 this sz
c3/gc2/gc last szn

[lilac whale]

peak rank doesn't matter whatsoever. Actually ranks don't express your skill whatsoever. It's just a number

for example lets say I have 5000 wins in 1v1 and 5000 losses. I would never ever rank up but in those 5000 losses I learned A LOT

[neon owl]

id say they express ur skill up to a certain rank

[lilac whale]

i never ever cared about my rank and I still dont

[lilac whale]

I learn game by game, not rank by rank

[neon owl]

yes true

i jus mean aint no champ 1 skilled players gonna be stuck in plat 3

doesnt have to be slow u can change pace of game

nah

just cuz ur fast doesnt mean u dont play d dawg

dawg i play super fast 5 min games that are 0-0

with 7 saves and booty clenched whole time

ye all the time

what rank r u in 1s men

what rank r u

new to game?

in anything

what szn 3?

no like which one

oh

gotcha

what szn we on now?

DAWG i thought it was like 3

not rlly but it does just feel like i got the szn 4 gc title like yesterday

when u stuckl the same rank the whole time thers no way to keep track of time😭

dawg im p sure ive been since szn 1

not rlly i got a lil better but i dont count it

[lilac whale]

I would not give a shit about your ranks btw, if you care

about improving

[neon owl]

i like red prettier than the pruprle ones

and i like white more thats the only reason i care

nah

gc shouldnt even get tags

ssl only

dawg i just wanna be ssl and then top 100 and then number 1 and then pro and then win rlcs and then i can quit this game that ive put way too many hours into

c3 players way better than gc1s

this game is my personality and life i must become the best

my name is val

damn

Score on your own net

[cyan sage]

no im new to the game

[cyan locust]

I'm not c1 but I'm gc3 in 1s rn

[paper sage]

im d1 and im curious what is with teammates being all the way back at our goal while the ball is at the enemies goal. Ill be passing the ball directly infront of their goal and ill look over and seem my teammate on the opposite end of the field collecting boost. What is the thought process behind that

[cyan locust]

One banger of a clear gets you scored on

2s is always a 1v2 until you get into higher ranks

Learn to adapt, don't go for Ariel shots you can't pull off 100% of the time

Even then, Ariel's in 1s will most of the time get you scored on by a half decent player

I'm busy atm

[hot magnet]

They are slow or youre playing to fast

Adapt to your tm8s speed

[cyan locust]

Ssl

Rn or peak of last season

Rn I'm at 1800 but I peaked at 2080 last season in 2s

Only gc3

not even close

Mf touched 100 leaderboard

[cyan locust]

I don't really play 3s often, I just sit right above the SSL range

3s is more inflated than 2s usually

depends on the season

Sometimes 3s leaderboard is higher than 2s, sometimes it's flipped

wym, season 9 3s was higher than 2s by almost 150 mmr

2s just got inflated last season due to boosters

Unless I'm just an idiot, could always be a possibility

for sure

but realistically, only for 3s

I like the freelo lobbies so I don't have to try for SSL in it

and making people think I only play Xbox is funny

depends on the circumstances, console cross play etc

then your best bet is 2s

[hot magnet]

Mnk?

[cyan locust]

Once you hit GC on console you can just turn off cross play and get SSL for free pretty much

[hot magnet]

Why

Is it cuz pc is smoother

[cyan locust]

doesn't even matter because you get 120 fps on console with next gen

[hot magnet]

Yeah. Sucks for me im still on the ps4

[cyan locust]

It's because if you turn off cross play you're more likely to get lower ranked players, downside is longer queue times

[obsidian galleon]

Yo im trying to get back into the game besides playing a lot what is some training packs that could help me with just core mech's

[cyan locust]

I'm sitting in a snow day queue at GC 1 and it's been over 25 min

[cyan locust]

what are your basics looking like

If you can't consistently dribble and hit bounce dribbles, better to focus on them than any real mechs

[hot magnet]

Oh

[obsidian galleon]

ball control reposession and basic flicking

[cyan locust]

What's your current rank

[obsidian galleon]

I dont got a current rank but my previous was c1-c2

i think i might be playing at a d1-2 range if im lucky

[cyan locust]

what's your ign and platform, I can check

[obsidian galleon]

noIDJakan PC

epic

[cyan locust]

you're at d2 div 3 rn

[obsidian galleon]

see its bad

[cyan locust]

tbh I'd just work on your ground mechs and consistent dribbles with a dribble pack

[sudden cloud]

I'm SSL In Every Mode , Message Me For Anything

[hot magnet]

Free boost

[obsidian galleon]

💀

[obsidian galleon]

Thanks

[cyan locust]

he means he's trying to sell you coaching or a boost, hes not doing it for free or he would talk here

[hot magnet]

I know lol

They mean business but im a goofer so mb

[cyan locust]

I get warned for talking about a smurf and they let people like that go, so lame

[hot magnet]

Warned where

[cyan locust]

they dm you a warning using a bot

[hot magnet]

Oh

Prob since they know you almost got 100 leaderboard so youre an elite smurf

Not saying you are a smurf

Well i kinda did

[cyan locust]

meh, my smurf is as high of a rank as my main rn

not like it's really smurfing in the first place

[hot magnet]

True same here but i got like 8 of em

[cyan locust]

I've got 4, 2 in champ 2 in gc

[hot magnet]

U still queuing for that snowday game?

[cyan locust]

yeah

[hot magnet]

lol

Might wanna need some blankets and a pillow

[cyan locust]

I'm about to have my fiancè get on and queue with me so it's not just solo

[ashen badger]

How

[hot magnet]

Oh thats cool

[ashen badger]

I post on lfg

[hot magnet]

Use the slash /

[cyan locust]

idk how to post on LFG either lmao

[hot magnet]

Is she as good as u

[cyan locust]

she's low GC

[hot magnet]

Damn lol

[cyan locust]

She started playing when it became f2p

[hot magnet]

Wowz

U were prob diamond right?

Or high champ

[cyan locust]

I was GC when it dropped for free

[hot magnet]

Ofc

[cyan locust]

was hard stuck gc3 for about 3 seasons

[sudden cloud]

I'm SSL All Modes Message Me For Anything.

[hot magnet]

Okay petah

[cyan locust]

bros acting like he's the only one who's SSL in all modes

[hot magnet]

You should dm him to help you get into snowday match lol

[ashen badger]

Idk whether being an ssl is sad or impressive

[cyan locust]

depends on the circumstances

[hot magnet]

Its botu but some are actually disciplined in life

[ashen badger]

Not really

[cyan locust]

if you work a full time job, impressive

[hot magnet]

Yeah

[cyan locust]

If you're a loser with 9k hours still barely in SSL, sad

[ashen badger]

That wouldn’t even be possible then 😂😂😂

[hot magnet]

It is

[ashen badger]

No ssl ever

[cyan locust]

me with a full time job

🫡

[hot magnet]

Some people have night shifts too or get off at 5 even some jobs dont require some work as you rest at home

[cyan locust]

I work at the hospital as a RN, so I get 4 days off a week

the other 3 are 12 and 24 hour calls

[ashen badger]

You prolly barely play ranked theb

[hot magnet]

Nice are you a doctor

[ashen badger]

Cuz u would b dropping

[cyan locust]

nah I'm a nurse training to be a NA

[hot magnet]

Nice man

[cyan locust]

I mean you don't passively drop rank, you just hit up training for am hour then hop into ranked

sah

[ashen badger]

I don’t think u play ranked

[cyan locust]

-.-

[ashen badger]

Either u dick around in cas or free play

Or Smurf

[cyan locust]

Im SSL every season -.-

it's not that hard

[ashen badger]

🙂 how accuracy’s am i

[hot magnet]

Free mmr

[hybrid basin]

anyone wanna see my clipzz

im plat

[hot magnet]

Post them on highlights channel

[high brook]

#gameplay-highlights

[cyan locust]

just practice

and make sure you're not setting up improperly

[rain crown]

Yeah i sent im not on a#nymore

[rain crown]

You are based im just getting back into the game and yeah i like how calm and collected you are when havinh convrsations i saw you said you were not training tonight but i was wondering if you ever wanted to play casual sometimes so i can try to gain some information from a player similar to my playstyle but does it better then me

[lilac whale]

based? what does that mean? sorry I'm not young and don't know if that's something people use that I dont. I'm not coaching tonight. Like in a coaching session, but sometimes I do. I don't mind if you'd like to gain information by asking me questions. I don't know if casual is my style. I really play 1s and freeplay only these days to improve. I wouldn't mind 1v1ing you some time if you think that would help.

[rain crown]

Sorry based means like a foundation you are like someone to look up to you have good opinions and gained someone’s respect and I understand i used to only grind rank and freeplay lol but i think just asking you questions and sending you a replay if you dont mind to improve

[lilac whale]

oh, haha, thanks. I appreciate the kind words.

[hot magnet]

Lol i thought based meant something bad as being generic

[lilac whale]

I didn't know I would gain respect by giving advice/opinions but that's nice to hear.

[lilac whale]

if you have a replay and send it to me I wouldnt mind watching it and giving pointers. Up to you .

[rain crown]

Its that but also the way you hold yourself in the conversation and your beliefs that made me respect you

[rain crown]

Yeah sure im just not on right now and i dont know how to send replays lol

[rain crown]

Oh lol no the way i said is how I understood it like being a foundation

[lilac whale]

I can teach you, you just gotta ask. You have to be a pc player though to send them

[hot magnet]

Yeah mb off topic but i assumed since i couldnt do a simple google search and figured it meant that since i saw it a lot in yt comments

[winter rain]

I only have 87 hours on the game and I’m in champ is that good?

[hot magnet]

yes

Thats really good keep it up and youll be in ssl by 88 hours

[rain crown]

Oh ok i play on ps4 i cant play pc for my life but i have a question do you think game sense is more important them mechanics because i belive so i was playing with the plat 1 and he was keeping up and doing good with game sense and positioning but he couldnr even do a basic head dribble nothinh against him but he was good with me so my main question is is the only way to improve game sense by playing games or is there anythinh i should study

[rain crown]

Yeah no its pretty common in the younger generation

[hot magnet]

Yep

Very

[rain crown]

Lol whats your opinion on the upcoming generation

[hot magnet]

Not much

Just doing me but eh good luck i guess

[lilac whale]

you will not be able to send me replays, although send me your epic in game name you may be on a replay database. I said you just have to play on PC, not keyboard and mouse. To answer your question you need to answer one of my questions. How long have you been playing? and what rank would you say you are at?

[rain crown]

Lmao thanks its split up into 4 groups with the new generation lol

[hot magnet]

Isint that gen x

Im a gen z

[lilac whale]

you going to answer my questions darklord?

[hot magnet]

Do you check replays by records

So like im on ps4 too so what if i upload it on yt

[lilac whale]

ballchasing.com sometimes has console players replays bc PC players who upload their replays in their may have console players in their matches

[hot magnet]

Oh okay cool havent heard that site before

[rain crown]

Oh yeah sorry im not smart i played for about let me chevk sordy so its beetseen three acounts i cant see how many games played but my guess is about 7k in total and im plat-dimound sorry my typing going ti be getting worse

[rain crown]

I dont even knlw😂😭

[hot magnet]

💀

[lilac whale]

I don't prefer to watch someones replay via a YouTube video, but if that's all you can do and you wanna take the time then go ahead and send me the link.

[hot magnet]

Alr im down

Ill send u ina dm but hold on im on the toilet

[lilac whale]

then game sense and tactical decisions only, do not train mechanics over simple fundamentals. Basics are important.

also send me your epic please, in my dms not here in public

[hot magnet]

Chae how many hours u got in the game

[tiny tree]

can someone just give me some tips on how to play better with trash teamates

cuz thats all i get

[rain crown]

Be calm and collective see where you can improve on because you can only chmage you not your teamates dont overcommit if you dont have a defender and play smart

If your toxic to your tm8 it will onlu tilit them makinh them even worse and possibly throw

[tiny tree]

im not toxic they are litterally pushing the ball while i have possesion half the time

cuz mmr is trash cuz of throwers

[hot magnet]

Then tell them to fuck off

[tiny tree]

I DO

[rain crown]

😂😂😂

[tiny tree]

AND THEY DONT LISTEN

[rain crown]

What rank are yiu

[tiny tree]

IM IN PLACEMENTS

[hot magnet]

Then let him do all the work until he asks why arent you in the gameplay

[rain crown]

😭😭😭

[tiny tree]

im gold 3 peak

[sly fable]

What's a "dynamic air roll"?

[rain crown]

Goodluck i was there

[hot magnet]

I did that once with a washed gc in my c2 game i sat in the net bc he always spammed "i got it" and he got pissed since i wasnt there

[rain crown]

I think either when you dont have a assign button for it

[lilac whale]

you sound toxic af...

calm down, move on, and play more. Don't worry about teammates. Ever.

[tiny tree]

im toxic when i want to be

its when my teamates are being annoying as hell

i tell them to fuck off and go defend

[sly fable]

Then how do you air roll if you don't have a bottom assigned for it?

[rain crown]

I think the mosg toxic rank is gold

[rain crown]

You know how there is a airroll left and right you can assihn tjere is also a airoll where uou dont assign let me send pic

[sly fable]

Ahh, the "joystick" one right?

[rain crown]

Yes

[sly fable]

Its definitely diamond.

[rain crown]

Those teo are close both makr me want to quit the game lmao whem i was in them

[sly fable]

Golds really do be needing a reality check.

[rain crown]

I know because thags why i hahe br#eing in golf because they were so nad so i was as well

Sorry they were so bad and so was i so i couldnr

[sly fable]

Bro lost it 💀

[rain crown]

😭😭😭 i dont drink well

[sly fable]

Dang.

[rain crown]

What rank are yiu?

[sly fable]

C2 rn

ButI am comfortably high C3

[rain crown]

Ayyy respect how do you feel it took to get there

[sly fable]

Honestly...

Feeling kinda good.

[noble rock]

@simple venture

[sly fable]

But GC is where i would definitely feel accomplished.

[rain crown]

Thats good do tou do it for fun orr channel?

[cyan sage]

any gc2-ssl for coach

[sly fable]

Channel?

[rain crown]

Like twitch yt

[sly fable]

Ah, fun.

[rain crown]

Thats cool wver thohght about one?

[lilac whale]

I'll answer questions but I don't have time for a coaching session right now, you could also send me a replay for review

[sly fable]

Nope. Simply because of school.

[rain crown]

Oh yeah @lilac whale i forgot to say i went through a freestyle phase so i xan airdribbke,celinhsgot, flip reset pancake, double/ tripple tap

[rain crown]

Oh thats cool highschool or college?

[lilac whale]

freestyle will only hinder your improvement. GLHF if that's your choice. Freestyle doesn't make you good at the game.

[sly fable]

High school... i think you are drinking too much.

[rain crown]

I thought abour it and your right tbh but i feel like it help me majorlu wirh my ariels and more confidebt to challenge in air and score

[lilac whale]

it doesn't

[rain crown]

Why?

[rain crown]

Oh

[lilac whale]

I wouldn't lie to you. I play SSLs a lot, I play people who are miles above me... they don't require or rely on flip resets, ceiling shots, pancakes.... none of that shit.

[sly fable]

How don't it?

[cyan sage]

@gleaming steeple im down

[lilac whale]

You will not be a good player by just training advanced aerial mechanics, they do not and will not help you improve.

[rain crown]

I belive that but i meant airles as when it flys in air and i feel confident to challenge it but i do belibe i should stick to the ground

[lilac whale]

if you want to know how, then open your eyes, watch high level players. Take advice.

[cyan sage]

any gc1-ssl in 2s/3s or both online for coach? dm me

[cyan sage]

in 2s, they most certainly do, i wudnt say pancakes but the rest they're heavely based on

who here is gc1-ssl to give tips ( actual rank )

[rain crown]

Brother im sick of you constaky asking dor hell when someone offered please

[sly fable]

True. But doing these mech would kinda improve arieal control no?

[rain crown]

Chae is a amazing coach and she offered free help so you dont pay

[lilac whale]

you're trying to say "i know what im doing in the air", or, "im confident in the air". So? Does that win you matches? No. The game is far too complex for you being confident in only one aspect to help you. You may look better than your fellow ranked teammates bc they also don't know what they're doing, but it doesn't help you at the game. To be great at something you need to be proficient and train all of it's aspects. Not one or two. I know people like you. You've hit a few freestyle shots and gain false confidence. How many hours do you spend on kickoffs? Recoveries? dribbling?

[feral sail]

Someone replied to you up there

[cyan sage]

anyone who is gc1-ssl to give tips, dm me

[lilac whale]

I just said I would help you, but not a full coaching session, if you have questions let me know.

you may dm me if you'd like

[cyan sage]

check your dm

[rain crown]

Yeah thats true i dont really spend constant hours in dribbling and stuff for my rank im confident in what i do howver i am nowhere near proficent in what i do and i ahve alot to work on

[noble rock]

@royal coral

[lilac whale]

exactly, but professionals and great players do, and that's just one fundamental of the game. False confidence is the epitome of plat-champ players.

They've accomplished one thing and think they've found the key. Just keep your chin up. Practice more.

It's a journey and not a short one to become great or even decent at this game

[hot magnet]

How many hours u got chae

[rain crown]

Im sorry what doess epitome mean😭 yeah what do you recommend for dribbling and ball control

[sly fable]

1s.

[rain crown]

1s scare me 😭 i play it and people get toxic i get tilted but dont say anutbing and its just a downfall

[lilac whale]

good, you should be scared, you need to fail before you succeed

[noble rock]

@random grove

[sly fable]

You could turn off the opponents chat if you'd like to.

[cyan sage]

anyone who is gc1-ssl in 2s or 3s to give tips, dm me

[rain crown]

Yeah i should fave it more

[sly fable]

What if i am not

[lilac whale]

you can look up definitions, I wouldn't fault you for that, epitome means the peak or the precipice of something. Like "that guy is so funny he is the epitome of comedy"

[rain crown]

Bro please stop you offered help take it or stop spam it’s annoying

[rain crown]

Oh thank yiu sorry i dont know why i didnt

[lilac whale]

i blocked aariggg, i suggest you all to do the same.

[rain crown]

Good idea

[sly fable]

Chae you're ssl, right?

[rain crown]

Gc3 i think she said before

[lilac whale]

I am not, never claimed to be, but my rank doesn't define me.

I'm also a coach, which is why I don't mind spending my time giving advice.

[rain crown]

Chaehow long do you think i should grind ones

[rain crown]

What did yiu say you were on again ps4 xbox?

[sly fable]

I didn't say what platform i am before💀. But i am PS5.

[rain crown]

I thoyht it wouldvr came up in the conversation 😭

[rain crown]

Want to hop in a call and 1v1?

[sly fable]

Calk?

Call you mean?

[rain crown]

Sorry yeah a ps4 party wait can ps4 and ps5 call together?

[sly fable]

I might pass. I can't play rn.

[rain crown]

Oh ok thank you anyways

[sly fable]

Yeah, in a party.

[rain crown]

I havnt played in forever i forgot lmaoo

[sly fable]

Well, grind untill your 2s and 1s rank is the same or higher, or until you become mentally unstable

[rain crown]

Lmaooo id already be that so ima continue the grind ima start now

[sly fable]

Most people go to the second option.

[rain crown]

I placed dim 1 for 2s

I need to grind ones

[sly fable]

Alright. Don't drink and drive!

[rain crown]

Im already home wonr drive anywhere

[woeful silo]

Grinding 1s is legit the best thing to do lmao

My favourite playlist fr

[sly fable]

I meant in rl.

[rain crown]

Oh… lmao

[sly fable]

Mental torture playlist, but also a very beneficial for you playlist.

[lilac whale]

as long as it takes...if you care about improving you'll never stop playing

[rain crown]

I love 2s because i feel like im better then i am because of passing plays

[lilac whale]

what this guy said. You can't improve or ever dream of being decent without starting in 1s. It will teach you A LOT

[woeful silo]

Not for me, I torture my opponents, just hit diamond last night and I was legit playing champs and gcs

[sly fable]

You're better than you are?

[woeful silo]

I've watched to many videos on 1s improvement

[sly fable]

Most champs and low Gcs are diamond in 1s.

[rain crown]

Yeah like i dont know how to explain it its justs a feeling

[lilac whale]

@rain crown you'd learn a lot just watching my replays.

[woeful silo]

Yeah, that's the challenge I took on, I ended in plat 2 last season in 1s so this season I'll aim for champ since I already hit diamond

I'm diamond 2 in 2s btw

[rain crown]

Yesirr you got goals respect im just shits and giggles but i want to improve at the same time

[sly fable]

Not really. Most of these people got their because of mechs.

[lilac whale]

where is your evidence? you're speaking for A LOT of people without knowing the actual truth?

[woeful silo]

Yeah, I know. I'm facing people with mechs. Almost like playing smurfs at this point

[lilac whale]

I'd be careful talking that way, you're going to spread way too much information

[woeful silo]

But I like facing higher level players

[lilac whale]

that could be misconstrued

[sly fable]

From what i have seen from matches

[woeful silo]

Most people don't play 1s much so they end up having 1000+ hours reaching champ and gc while neglecting 1s

So when they do play 1s, they already have mechanics to win the games

of course mechanics can't take you very far so they stay in diamond

[lilac whale]

yeah that's a small sample size. Might as well play it safe and say "in my limited experience" instead of claiming you know most peoples ranks.

just trying to look out for you

[lilac whale]

hours, rank, games played..... these mean absolutely nothing to those who don't utilize that time wisely

[woeful silo]

of course

[hot magnet]

Hours dont matter right?

I think i have 3.5k hours and im c3

[sly fable]

It kinda does, but not that much.

[sly fable]

That's alright, i think.

[hot magnet]

Yeah

[sly fable]

From what i have seen, the avg for C3 is 2k hrs.

[rain crown]

Hours just show how much you put youeself out its how much you take from thise hours is what’s important

[hot magnet]

m

[sly fable]

But ofc it could vary.

[hot magnet]

Yeah yk i played heatseeker a lot

And stuff

Anyways im c3 with 3.5k. Cool.

[pastel plank]

hey guys what rank are you

[rain crown]

Im dim 1

How about you

[hot magnet]

C3 div 3

[pastel plank]

im d1

nice

[lilac whale]

it is.

but it's only in match time, doesnt count every second the game is open or your freeplay/training

[pastel plank]

thanks for the tip

[rain crown]

Starting tbats 1s grind

[lilac whale]

save replays, watch them, and take at least one piece of advice from yourself each match.. an example could be "i need to get faster kickoffs" or "next time be more patient"

[rain crown]

Just saved ny first maych won 5-1

Onto the next going till i pass out

Won on ff 7-2 ima be grining till i lode

[sly fable]

Lode?

[rain crown]

I just vr a higher rank doing placement i hate this game lmao he was like 1.5x faster then me whole game but it was only 3-1

I hate ones😭😭😭

Im losinh to plat 1s

[lilac whale]

that means your bad and need to play more

no one is good at something when they dont have any experience doing that thing

most people give up

and if you're one of those people then gl getting good

[sharp karma]

ok

[rain crown]

Lmao your the kind of coach i like no sugarcoat and just flat honest

[lilac whale]

I'm not here to waste your time and I'm definitely not here to waste mine

If you can't be realistic about things, then this game doesn't beckon you, or at least you wouldn't be in this chat to begin with.

[hot magnet]

Hey chae did u see mine

[rain crown]

Whats your advice for seeing plauers in the game i cant see them with a ball on me

@lilac whale whats your advicr for not tilting

[heady lantern]

Hey how do I type something in looking for group

[rain crown]

Good question i dont even know lmao

[heady lantern]

Lol

What rank r u

[sly fable]

Chae became a therapist at this point.

[sly fable]

My guts tell me when to flick. I don't know if there is a better way.

[drowsy copper]

how do you flip kickoff

[daring willow]

Can i have a coach?

[lilac whale]

don't

[sly fable]

amazing advice.

[lilac whale]

you're welcome 🙏

honestly dont though. you're only hurting yourself by tilting

losses and failure is expected

[severe lantern]

@lilac whale whats your advice, for not sucking at the game?

[lilac whale]

get used to it 🙂

[lilac whale]

get better, take advice, ask questions, train, learn, research, get better

[severe lantern]

aw... I was expecting you to continue the meme, but thanks I guess XD

[lilac whale]

oh... i mean get good

simple as that, really

[sly fable]

Spam "what a save" after every goal and boost your ego the point that you can't afford to lose otherwise your ego gets destroyed.

[hot magnet]

And smash your controller

[sly fable]

No no no. Not the controller

[lilac whale]

no, don't be toxic, no meme there. That's just rude af

[sly fable]

I am aware. It was just for the memes.

[lilac whale]

yeah that's where the jokes stop with me.

I don't take that stuff lightly

[sly fable]

Oh.. sorry.

[lilac whale]

bullying and anger issues aren't ironic or amusing and really don't have a place anywhere near mass population or public forums, not to make you feel bad, but I can't take that stuff.

[sly fable]

I have a question, in 2s, should i prioritize going for solo plays or try to find a passing opportunity instead?

[lilac whale]

solos, passing is most of the time telegraphed and not worth your time if you can be comfortable going for your own play

but passing does occur occasionally in 2s, just hard to make it really solid and not so telegraphed

[sly fable]

"Telegraphed"?

[severe lantern]

making it obvious you're about to do it so it gets intercepted

[lilac whale]

telegraphed, it means it's easily readable and the opponent will gain too much time to see that your passing and can pretty much ruin your plan

if i put my fists up I'm telegraphing that I'm about to punch you for example hahaha

[severe lantern]

@lilac whale Do you mind hitting me up with any maps you advise for lower level players?

[lilac whale]

tele means reading and graph means a visual representation of something lol

[severe lantern]

I want my overall game mechanics to be better but I just suck at looking for the stuff I need. Like dribbling, simple aerials, more complex aerials etc

[lilac whale]

workshop map named AIM TRAINING BY COCO
1v1s
D7F8-FD53-98D1-DAFE
and most imporantly freeplay

[severe lantern]

also I feel like I need someone to help explain how certain things work, cos like, someone will give me a map sometimes and be like "do this" and Im just sat there like... I know this should be obvious, but OBVIOUSLY im friggin dumb

[lilac whale]

i bet 10 minutes with me you would understand what you're doing wrong

can you stream your game for me?

[severe lantern]

ye

Im not doign anything rn so if you have time im down to get to grinding

[sly fable]

So, passing should only be used as a last resort?

[void dome]

lf coaching dm if can coach

[sly fable]

[void dome]

yo anyone can coach me im so dog bruh

[surreal osprey]

me to, i have been playing since 2020, still on gold

[sly fable]

I see a passing opportunity. I have two options:
1- comfortably go for a solo play (depends on the situation tho)
2- pass
What should i do?

[sly fable]

Consistently?

[twin orbit]

any tips for air dribble?

[summer pecan]

same hereee man im hard stuck

im hitting plat now tho so progress ig

[tropic wedge]

yo any tips for game sense and dribbling

[sly fable]

What do you struggle with?

[surreal osprey]

well i used to be very consistent, at first 2 years but since 2023, i havent played much, since i was on same old rank it was getting very boring and i had my exams

[surreal osprey]

Thats good.

[summer pecan]

i deranked from plat 3 in 2s tho 🥲

im plat 1 in 2s now

[surreal osprey]

oh wow

[sly fable]

Don't be afraid to go for a 50 in your corner as last man.

[surreal osprey]

you will catch up

[tropic wedge]

thanks a lot

[summer pecan]

I've been doing a lot of 1s so i feel like im being a lot more selfish with the ball but it also feels like my tm8s aren't as good as some I've had before

[sly fable]

Also, try to keep the ball close or pass it to a tm8 instead of booming it.

[tropic wedge]

ok thanks

[sly fable]

I guess you weren't taking seriously. I know alot of people who started around the same time as you and now are champ or GC.

[surreal osprey]

You can say that, i used to play for fun, just to pass my time, i didnt really have the intention to get higher rank but it got really boring after some time

[summer pecan]

its a little bit the same as me

i dont really go into free play all too often

[surreal osprey]

how do you have so much time to play seriously

like, how do you manage with school and all

[summer pecan]

i mainly try and improve in game and anytime i try and learn a new mechanic i try and practice the basics in fp and when its useable i practice in game

[sly fable]

If that's the case, then its alright.
As long as you are having fun that is.

[sly fable]

My time management is bad. You would be surprised.

[surreal osprey]

Indeed, but my teammates really got angry at me, but as long as i am having fun its good

[surreal osprey]

Well for me, Before i joined IGCSE, i had alot of free time and i really took gaming srriously and also made some yt videos, since now im in 10th grade, i have been occupied in studies so much, that i barely even have time to spend with my family

[sly fable]

IG? That's tuff.

[surreal osprey]

Yes

[sly fable]

The only time i study is before the exam.

Other than that, NEVER.

[surreal osprey]

What is your grade

We have montly test

You are also doing IG?

[sly fable]

Nah.

[surreal osprey]

You must be smart

Naturally

[sly fable]

I wish.

[surreal osprey]

My parents have high expectations from me

[summer pecan]

same

[surreal osprey]

If i go without studying I get 75%, but they think thats failing grade

[patent quail]

School is near irrelevant, you only use it to get first hand experience with a job.

Afterwards it means 0

[surreal osprey]

You need to get it for uni

[patent quail]

In some cases, but its rare you cant get in without having the grades

[surreal osprey]

I agree, some stuff is completly irrelavant

[surreal osprey]

I mean if someone has bad grades, they wont get into a good uni

and their future options would be not wider

[summer pecan]

this is just how i see it but grade dont equal intelligence

[sly fable]

Tru.

[summer pecan]

good grades are more so about your memory

at least to me

[patent quail]

not true for Europe at least. I think thats an American mindset.

[dawn forge]

Could anyone play with me for a bit and give me some tips on things I should improve?

[patent quail]

what rank are you?

[surreal osprey]

Well i mean, if someone wants to become a doc, then they need to get excellant grades into get into a med school

[surreal osprey]

Exactly, some people have photogenic memory they are gifted

[summer pecan]

i mean with like doctors and stuff fine they actually need to study and know what they're doing

but for a lot of other stuff require skills more than grades

[patent quail]

Yea there are a few examples where u really need good grades. But i think the grades you get for med school shows that you have good self decipline and stuff..

[dawn forge]

Peak plat1 but gold 3 div 4 rn

[sly fable]

Getting avg-good grades with so little studying is considered good ig.

[surreal osprey]

Yes true, my parents have told me either to be engineer, lawyer or doctor, so in that case, its differnet

[twilit forge]

So can anyone teach me some mechanics?

[surreal osprey]

Indeed

[patent quail]

Some have the natural talent, some are forced to work harder. Its just how the world works - exactly the same with video games.

[twilit forge]

I’m already kinda good at it but I suck

[sly fable]

The stress factor would be through the roof though.

[surreal osprey]

right

[summer pecan]

yeah this makes me kinda sad tho cos i dont think i have any of that

im in the forced to work harder category but i just have no motivation, im just tryna have fun 😂

[cyan sage]

Can anyone watch my gameplay and tell me what i need to work on?

oh shit

[cyan sage]

I have 89 hours on rocket league and I'm still stuck in silver for solos is there any recommended maps for these mechanics I want to work on for example Not chasing the ball, goal keeping, ariel shots, goal scoring and dribbling?

[mortal quail]

Cause they all have no brain, as long as you don't chase and be patient, they will overcommit and you score

[tired bluff]

Hey guys! I fell from d1 to p1. Can someone give me some tips? Im desperate

Omg ty

[next wadi]

Can anyone coach me in rocket league, dm me if u Xan

[wet dragon]

Freeplay.

[wet dragon]

U dont play enough 1s

[cyan sage]

Can someone coach me?

[languid aspen]

hey guys i have a question
there is this air dribble setup that i have seen where people touch the ball of their back backboard and do what looks like a frontflip stall to stay under the ball and im wondering in what situation of where the ball is going should i do this, rather than just a normal flip into the ball to stay under it
it looks extremely difficulty to get consistent

[hardy pelican]

How do I flip reset? Like I can air dribble ok ig but when I try to flip reset and like go under the ball my car just like starts flipping around n stuff

I even tried yt tutorials and it’s not helping

[twilit dagger]

Hello i send a clip of me in free play doing flip reset can someone look to tell me what i can do to improve it ?

[twilit dagger]

first of all what i've learn to get the reset don't try going under the ball but instead go straight to the ball. after that i'm learning how to do it properly 🥹

[hardy pelican]

But to reset don’t u go under?

[twilit dagger]

no

[mortal quail]

Bad way of thinking of it, you wanna fly at the ball, then when you spin around it will bring you just under the ball
