[thorny sequoia]

what rank are you then

sarcasm

gc is pretty broad

1430? 1500?

[obsidian dawn]

yk if it works it works

[cyan sage]

Considering I only said chase to gc, checks out

[mortal quail]

I am not

[cyan sage]

sorry for waking you up

[mortal quail]

I'm about to sleep

[thorny sequoia]

fp thats enough in where i cant trash it

swear down i hear someone in my garden

[cyan sage]

most gc1s cant defend if you just boom the ball 100kph behind them

[thorny sequoia]

i havnt played 2s in so long

[cyan sage]

and if they do get the 1st save, you just boom it 100kph across to the other side of their net and they cant save it

[thorny sequoia]

i think im like 1620

[cyan sage]

coach me

[mortal quail]

Are you on

[cyan sage]

Ill have you know I gave someone normal legitimate coaching today

[cyan sage]

yes, i am

it's 9pm, tf you mean am i on, i dont sleep at 6pm

[mortal quail]

Alr 1 sec

[thorny sequoia]

am?

[cyan sage]

no, ero2bosnia sleeps at 6pm

and wakes up at 10pm, bro is literally a cocoon

[cyan sage]

ah, I do believe I should mention I play the dominus, generates power out of nothing fr

[marble delta]

if someone could please explain how airrolling works to me that would be perfect, ik how it works but how to people move so fast cause i gotta wait for my cars hood to be facing me to move if yk what i mean. but do i have to move it when the wheels are facing me as well?

[graceful sequoia]

Idk what u mean 💀

[cyan sage]

just air roll bruh

it really is that simple

[normal basin]

It's muscle memory and can't rlly be explained, although there's a couple vids that kinda break it down iirc. U just gotta do it til u know it

[graceful sequoia]

It sucks to learn because there is not one single technique. Even if u understand how it works, it’s hard to replicate as a beginner. It can feel different based on cam settings. It’s best to just feel it out and try to understand as u go, it gets easier as u go on

[green adder]

yo

do i have to link my acc to go in lfg

[marble delta]

yea i feel u it’s just hard reacting hella fast to where the balls gonna go when i’m airrollinv cause i gotta wait for the hood of my car to be up if yk but i’ll just try to get used to it

[marble delta]

yea i think i just gotta keep airrolling and i’ll get it maybe

[graceful sequoia]

Oh well for normal aerials u don’t really have to air roll until higher ranks

[wheat ibex]

I only play ranked

I can hit the ball consistent and hard but the others in my rank are out doing me

I got on a 7 game win streak today tho not sure how

[cyan sage]

if a d1 is hitting the ball harder than you, idk what to say

[twilit snow]

Can someone coach me and my friend? We are both in plat 1

[slate warren]

as long as you are able to hit the ball in plat you will rank up

[wheat ibex]

Just practice back post rotations and power clears instant rank up also try not to stay too close to your tm8 on offense, be ready for a collision that sends the ball your way

[wheat ibex]

For me at least

[hidden vine]

Can someone coach me later?

[nocturne breach]

tips for getting gc2 in 2s?

[thorny sequoia]

you can keep possession more times in a game instead of sending it away (replay review it), play aggressive on 2v1 situations if you aren’t already and finish mastering all the core mechs

[slate warren]

tips for why i tilted to champ 1 when i was gc last season?

[nocturne breach]

aighty, ty

[plucky lion]

Use your brain more

Just gotta actually look at your opponents and teammates and try and think what they are actually doing and if it is threatening or not

[iron tapir]

playstyle

[iron tapir]

i did the same thing just changed up my style im back gc

[heavy ridge]

Tbh

If you were gc last season i dont understand how you drop that far down

Just play how you normally do

[slate warren]

me neither i took a month break and trying to play now

[heavy ridge]

And youll get back easily

[slate warren]

i queued with my friend tho and he quit the game now

so i guess my playstyle doesnt work with solo q

especially now im so low i keep passing but tm8 isnt there

[heavy ridge]

Well yeah that explains the matter

Youll get worse quickly if you take a long break

[heavy ridge]

Just got for solo plays

[gloomy belfry]

I need tips on flip reset it seems almost impossible for me to do it

[slate warren]

my whole playstyle is passing thats prob y

[rare estuary]

Idk i go on break and come back hitting double flip resets like I’m drku, after 4 games I’m back to normal whiffing when ¡ shouldn’t.

[heavy ridge]

Some people just different

[rare estuary]

No cap

[glass temple]

I was gold 3 nearly plat and now im silver 3 when I let a friend comeover thinking hes playing casual 💀

[onyx jackal]

You should be able to get it back relatively quick if u deserved gold 3

It's annoying tho

[upbeat marsh]

i was gold 1 in 1v1s and let my cousin do my placements and he got me to bronze 3 div 1

[thin verge]

While ground dribbling > musty flick I keep being slower than the ball once I do the first jump so the ball escapes me and I don't get to flick it. Sometimes I do it right - Is it really just placement of the ball on the windshield?

Lol I found out the issue, I needed to turn my car perpendicular to the ground before actually flipping, nvm

[tacit cradle]

I hate rl because of randoms

[turbid gazelle]

half time u get good bad teamates its u who decides game if ur not climbing its ur own fault dont blame ur tm8s

[tacit cradle]

Thanks

[thin verge]

What exactly differentiates a redirect from a normal shot? Doing a redirect pack and not exactly sure where the difference is

[turbid gazelle]

whats ur rank

[thin verge]

Plat 3 ikik I shouldn't, but it's for fun

[turbid gazelle]

ur keyboard and mouse too?

[thin verge]

Some of the setups I clearly know I'm doing a redirect, for other setups it feels like a normal shot

[thin verge]

Yeah why?

[turbid gazelle]

u got it bro i c2 and kbm u can climb

[thin verge]

KB gang rise 😈 😤

[turbid gazelle]

also dont go for mustys they are not relaible and easy to read

[thin verge]

When the goal is behind me and the ball comes from the front it's clear to me what a redirect is, but if I'm facing goalside and the ball comes my direction what then differentiates a redirect from a normal shot?

[thin verge]

Oh yeah it's just fun to learn mechs

If I dribble I try to go for normal or 180 flicks most of the time

[turbid gazelle]

maybe... but i made it to c2 with my most hard mechanic being a ceiling shot (which i have never used ingame)

[turbid gazelle]

lets talk in dms

[empty laurel]

Any free coaches?

[sinful sedge]

no

fennec body literally matches the hitbox better

[heavy ridge]

I have thorougly explained why that is a placebo

I am not going to again, read back the convo

[dawn cosmos]

this is only if you don't know how to do them right lol

if you hit a 100kph+ top of the goal musty that's decently hard to save

[sinful sedge]

oh u already admitted it i see

[dawn cosmos]

example #gameplay-highlights message

[heavy ridge]

I did not

[potent escarp]

anyone that can help me carry the ball dm

[heavy ridge]

visual means its a placebo

if you switch from octane to fennec, nothing changes. but then nothing. Same as putting on another decal and playing better with it

[dawn cosmos]

I mean because it is visual, it's less of a placebo

considering your visual reference for the hit box changes

which does fr affect ur gameplay

[sinful sedge]

you have no idea what you’re talking about

[thin verge]

I wouldn't say visual means placebo, since placebo is something without effect having an effect because you believe for it to have an effect.

Fennec being more visually accurate hence wouldn't really be a placebo, since it's an actual "effect" (= more accurate hitbox representation). Still since the actual hitbox is the same you can just learn the hitbox as such and that makes no difference, Fennec would just make it easier/faster to learn due to better representation, not in general though

That's my take at least

[sinful sedge]

you’re controlling your car based on visual

my man comparing different car bodies with decals

[dawn cosmos]

yeah like I cannot musty to save my life on the fennec but gimme the octane and I'm sending 95kph+ boomers top corner easily

[heavy ridge]

I am not going to explain again

I dont really care what you think or if you think I have no idea

[empty laurel]

Does anyone do coaching?

[mint terrace]

Whats ur rank?

[midnight lynx]

Idk why but before i took a 1 year break from rocket league my mechanics were pretty good. But now im playing for a month but my mechanics wont come back even if i try to play workshop maps ect. In game it just does not work. Anyone that can help me off this problem?

[hardy current]

nothing u can really do that i know of, i would just keep playing

happened to me and i’m still not as good as i was

[gleaming trail]

Who can help me rank up

[graceful sequoia]

Hate to say but one year off the game sounds like u may have lost the muscle memory mostly so just keep playing to try and regain

[hushed horizon]

looking for personal 1s coach. c1 in 1s

[sudden harbor]

Nah my teamates hold me back fr

My 1s teamates especially

[thorny sequoia]

it makes it easier to see where the hitbox is? making its visual more accurate 😭

[latent bobcat]

Free coaching (GC3)

[still sedge]

Hey @latent bobcat i dont really play ranked cos it makes me nervous and pressured. got any tips?

[heavy ridge]

Look at the wheel placement and the back of the fennec hitbox to visual and say that again

[latent bobcat]

Whats your rank ?

[still sedge]

just got off dia 1

plat 3 now

[latent bobcat]

Ok

Focus as much as possible on what you're doing in your games instead of worrying about whether you'll win them or not. You will also be more focused if you remove the text chat and you will potentially make fewer mistakes. You have to tell yourself that it doesn't matter if you win or not because you lose confidence in yourself and you are therefore less efficient in your games

[still sedge]

ok ty

how about teammates?

[thorny sequoia]

nah cause im lowkey not going to neek over it

[heavy ridge]

Then dont

[thorny sequoia]

i wont😊

[latent bobcat]

Focus on their gameplay to adapt to them as much as possible. After one of your actions look where he is and put yourself behind him to be able to watch the game because at this rank you can only trust yourself

[still sedge]

ok ty

[finite moth]

hi

[midnight lynx]

Anyone know if most pro’s have steam input on or off ? Bc i use default settings from steam input but it feels weird after the big update from steam

[spark willow]

dont know but the logic would say no

[midnight lynx]

Bc before the update most players changed a few things in de steam controller settings but after the update it feels way too weird and not the same

[north wasp]

Can someone help me out w maktuf resets

for osme reason every time i get the reset, the ball ends up to much to my side, and i cant get the last touch

unless its scuffed

[stoic marsh]

when people hit aerial shots (the little tap of air roll then shoot) do they do a diagonal flip or do they do a side flip?

[surreal quiver]

can anyone help me get better im silver 3

[empty laurel]

I’m gold 3 I can maybe help

[lean egret]

if you’re below like plat or Diamond you should really just play the game

Just try not to double commit

[empty laurel]

@lean egret do you have any tips for gold 3 players?

[lean egret]

basically the same thing

Learning to hit the ball in the air will give you an edge

[shrewd glacier]

W

[lean egret]

You’re still at that point where you can’t hit the net yet, so just doing gold level shooting training packs would also be helpful

[sinful sedge]

😫

[hidden void]

@lean egret any tips for C2

[latent bobcat]

😂

[dusky fiber]

do u try ranking up? if yes do 2 things. 1. try not to chase 2. Try do get comfortable with powershots on target out of multiple positions and u will win much

[lean egret]

im c3 lol, hoping to get the GC this season but I always go on a little streak then I take a break for like 2 months cuz another game comes out (diablo 4 been a bop)

[dusky fiber]

many things, try to play less risky and help your mate out (for instance: try rotating more around the small pads, thisn makes u stay more in rotation and help your mate, also dont overcommit or flick in corners, rather try jumping one time there to focus on the landing so u can be back, try not passing to risky, cause he will be last man and cant fully commit usually), try in general to play more 1s to improve individually, it will happen that u get in 1v1s so its good to know what to do then, try adapting and looking at yourself: attitude can be a big reason for not ranking up, even if u have bad mates try and see what u can do to prevent the situation from happening, if u can do that u could win lots of games despite your mate, if u just blame your mate there is nothing to improve, etc.

[elder aurora]

any help for getting plat

[dusky fiber]

2 things. 1. try not to chase 2. Try do get comfortable with powershots on target out of multiple positions and u will win much

[turbid gazelle]

hit the ball

[elder aurora]

bruh

i can ariel quite good

what mechs should i learn

[dusky fiber]

dont arial, not needed in that elo, as i said, rlly try getting better at good powershots out of multiple positions, this gets u easy plat maybe even dia

[elder aurora]

any training pack ideas

[dapper coyote]

@dusky fiber thx i have at the moment a 8 lose streak

[dusky fiber]

sounds painful mate, def good luck on the grind

[dapper coyote]

Thxx

[turbid gazelle]

what rank are u escredit

[dusky fiber]

rn around gc3 in 2s and 3s

[turbid gazelle]

also with what ur saying i dont think u can summarise most mistakes in dia 3 +

[mortal quail]

Consistently double commit and get poor touches on the ball, focus on making teammate awkward and overcommitting the play, constantly flip around the field so you commit to a direction everytime, putting you too close or far from the play, slam the brakes everytime before you go for an aerial, you should only use boost to get to the ball, not hit it, or use boost to get more boost, boost when turning without powerslide, bc powerslide is going to get you out of diamond, make sure to push corners with tm8 and avoid demoing on rotations back at all costs, when fast aerialing, boost only after the 2nd jump instead of with it, to gaurantee you lose 80% of what a fast aerial is worth

[dusky fiber]

yh i m not the elo, just out of all coachings i did ther were some things in common in speficic elos

[turbid gazelle]

i dont thinks theres many double commits in champ anymore

most players now know how to rotate

[mortal quail]

Double commits not that much, but overcommits yes

Most Champs struggle to have a good challenge on the ball, leaving teammate in a 2v1.

[turbid gazelle]

i think its mainly cause we prejump for challenges at supersonic and get flung across the map

[mortal quail]

That and Champs can't challenge anyway. Also rotates aren't good, just not horrible

[dusky fiber]

yh that too but there are also much overcommits, then people rotate back on the sides without rotating around the small pads leaving the mate even more alone etc

[shrewd glacier]

is it 2s or 3s?

[signal lintel]

There's a huge number of double commits in C1 lol

[cyan sage]

Best camera settings?

How to get good tm8s

Best camera settings?

[mortal quail]

Get a higher rank

[signal lintel]

Rank up, they're just as good/bad as you on average

[cyan sage]

Hehehehe

[cyan sage]

That would work

[cyan sage]

Yes, no questions asked, please go and do that now. 🙂

Nah

Hahahaha 😂

Nah tho being a gold or under is hard

The amount of ball chasers 💀

[mortal quail]

The number increases until c3

Players becomes faster and more boost efficient thus more on the ball

[shrewd glacier]

fax

[shrewd glacier]

double fax

[signal lintel]

No one knows, but most people play with something close to 110 280 100 -4 0.65 3.20 1.30. I personally think max stiffness is an advantage but not many people use that

[shrewd glacier]

0.65 stiffnes????

noooooo 0.35 0.45 around there is best

[cyan sage]

It's subjective, you can't exactly criticise it

[shrewd glacier]

i mean look at all the pros n u can see why

[signal lintel]

Maybe average is a bit lower. These aren't my settings, to be clear

[shrewd glacier]

lol

[shrewd glacier]

what rank r u tho

W

[signal lintel]

Lmao

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say your cameras are wack for normal play

[cyan sage]

just doing what everyone else is doing doesn't make it good, it just makes it popular

when flip resets were first invented, most people saw them as a useless parlour trick, now everybody uses them

[shrewd glacier]

not being cocky but i have like 2.5k hrs and 0.65 aint good lol

[cyan sage]

you say "not being cocky" and then flex your hours, that is absolutely cocky lmao

[shrewd glacier]

yeh but its not about making your own trend your not top 100 your probably plat lol

what rank?

[signal lintel]

not being cocky but I have way more than that, and I have no idea why you're so confident about which stiffness settings are good and bad

[hardy current]

howdy

[shrewd glacier]

what rank r u both lol

2s

[hardy current]

ssl top 100 in 1s tho

[somber falcon]

guys do you recommend stalls or rapids for triple reset?

[barren badge]

Yo are there any high ranks in rocket league and tell me what training to do to learn air roll

[wheat ibex]

Can anyone recommend me training packs for on and off-wall hits

[acoustic condor]

any good players coach me? i keep getting really close to d1 but everytime i getr to plat 3 div 4 i lose and then i go down like to low plat 3 sometimes plat 2

[latent bobcat]

Gimme some tips the gc 6 pls

[sterile nacelle]

stalls to start, rapids to finish, eventually after stalling you might encounter that the ball goes flying, rapids would be used in this sense, so if your deciding which to learn, stalls first, then rapids, but do learn both

[somber falcon]

so triple resets with stalls should be easier?

or a mix of both, i didn't quite understand

[sterile nacelle]

well i wouldnt say, easier, but learning both rapids and stalls have their benefits

but i recommend learning stalls

normally i can get around 4 ish stall resets before having to go for rapids, so it does keep the ball closer and more controlled to you, but you risk losing that control with how tthe car and ball physics work

[somber falcon]

alright, it's a bit hard past the 1st stall since the ball goes a bit flying and i cant really get under it well enough for the second stall, the rapids would seem much easier in that aspect

[sterile nacelle]

yea thats what i mean, it takes practice, learn to stay close to the ball, dont give you and the ball much space between

think of it as watching someone do helis, they are always close to the ball and never have an extreme distance between them and the ball, its kinda like that...except your not doing helis

[somber falcon]

will do

[shrewd glacier]

hmm hit ball better

[latent bobcat]

Thanks 👌

[shrewd glacier]

no probs x

[mighty pecan]

do you u guy ys prefer xbox controller or ps controller for rocket league?

[keen igloo]

t00shortl1fe#2327 never play with this guy he is dumb and arrogant

[graceful sequoia]

I hear most ppl think PS is better I use Xbox tho

[covert swallow]

Same

Xbox better

[mighty pecan]

hmm alright

[unreal turtle]

Whatever controller you’re used to

Am used to an Xbox controller so I use it

[limpid terrace]

can anyone coah me?

[unreal turtle]

Whenever I use a ps controller Instantly become bad at the game

[limpid terrace]

can anyone give me some tips to reach diamond?

[kind aspen]

can anyone give me some tips to reach champ

[unreal turtle]

Ah never mind thought someone would finish the line

[junior sparrow]

can someone help It is currently saying that I cant connect to rocket league servers what do I do?

[dusk lotus]

reconect wifi or go outside

[junior sparrow]

nah Its been doing it sense yesterday

[copper cave]

any tips for making turns while dribbling? i can't get past the second level of this custom dribble challenge map, it's just simple left right turns around pillars but idk, i just cant seem to keep control after the first turn

[dusk lotus]

try drifting

[copper cave]

k, i'll work on it in slow mo

i keep bumping the ball into the air =/

[elder aurora]

what mech should i learn for plat

[graceful sequoia]

Tbh for me slow mo has made my dribbles worse because I don’t get used to small movements quickly

[vast sable]

When I arial I hit the ball to hard to air dribble and I dong know how to fix that

Dont*

[copper cave]

i think it depends on how slow you make the gamespeed

[graceful sequoia]

Tru yea

[cobalt current]

tbh the best season rewards were the goal explosions at least that smt ill use

and the decals

[copper cave]

ive been trying to get down dribbling without boost but i always end up lagging behind the ball and needing to boost to keep it on my car, am i holding the ball too far forward?

[cobalt current]

if the ball is like close to your cars nose use the boost

[cobalt current]

but slow if its behind

[copper cave]

yeah but i see all over about learning to dribble first without boost but i feel like my car isn't fast enough and also that the ball just keeps getting faster and faster the longer i dribble it

[cobalt current]

pc or consol?

[copper cave]

pc

controller though

[cobalt current]

try work shop maps like the path or smt

[cobalt current]

or custom games like they put the ball untop of u and u just drive and try to balance it

[cobalt current]

watch spook lukes videos on how to dribble

[candid carbon]

can someone tell me what should i do to have better control in the air?

[cobalt current]

fly from the blue goal to the orange goal and if u get the hang of it do air roll

[candid carbon]

tysm

[north wasp]

can someone help me w speedflips on kbm, im d1 in 1v1 and i go up against gcs sometimes

and i just get destroyed on kickoffs

[normal basin]

I feel bamboozled I've been doing tornado flicks since Plat but thought it had to be one very specific version to count

[north wasp]

its fast enough on the musty speedflip training pack, but it looks weird and ppl tell me its not a proper speedflip

[normal basin]

I could only tell u from a controller pov

Although I don't see why that should matter

[north wasp]

someone already tried

[normal basin]

Speed flip is pretty simple if u hold dar while front flipping to replace the diagonal flip. This allows u to flip cancel straight back and really no timing is necessary, just do it fast as possible

[north wasp]

and they cant cos im only limited to s on the cancel not a full joystick

[normal basin]

U don't need full joystick

Up and down is all u need

[cyan sage]

is it possible to speedflip if i boost with circle button?

[normal basin]

Been doing it since plat

[somber falcon]

i also speedflip a bit unconventionally on kbm but you should be able to do so normally

[cyan sage]

can you complete the musty speedflip?

[normal basin]

Obv

[north wasp]

i can and its still wrong

when i release the cancel it flicks me up, and its supposed to make me land earlier

but it doesnt

[cyan sage]

but when i jump i dont boost at the same time because i boost with circle and jump with X

[normal basin]

Lemme share a breakdown video I made of just the individual parts added together. Like I said to not diagonal flip, just hold dar while front flipping then flip cancel straight back

[north wasp]

u mean air roll instead of dar?

oh that is air roll

im slow mb

[normal basin]

Directional air roll

[north wasp]

yh ik

i just noticed

[normal basin]

It is identical to a diagonal flip without awkward inputs to flip cancel

[north wasp]

but then its weird for me w right air roll

[cyan sage]

@normal basin when i jump i dont boost at the same time isnt that supposed to make me slow?

[normal basin]

U can speed flip with either left or right

[normal basin]

Why don't u boost at the same time?

Do u have tiny thumbs?

[north wasp]

yh, but i do have to change dependin on the kickoff

[normal basin]

Nope

[cyan sage]

i boost with circle and jump with X how am i supposed to do it at the same time?

[normal basin]

Just use left always

Using both has very minimal benefit

[normal basin]

Press both with your thumb?

Do u lift your thumb when u play or something? Just roll it around and adjust pressure

Only very slight adjustments are necessary for like changing cam or something

Should be able to fat finger all 3

[wheat ibex]

Can anyone recommend me training packs for on and off-wall hits

[normal basin]

For instance, when fast aerialing or speed flipping, front of thumb stays on boost while back of thumb hits jump

[harsh bloom]

@main forum

[shrewd glacier]

dm me ill tell u

if you dont have fat fingers lol

[late dagger]

Put your thumb in between

[molten spindle]

play claw

[manic gull]

I keep going against smurfs in c2 I was c3 but I keep getting gate locked it’s so annoying and I’m not even a bad player either

I get good teammates but it don’t matter

[cyan sage]

wrong place sorry

[coral crane]

Fat finger it

Claw is a lot to learn especially if you played regularly for a long time

[manic gull]

I’ve played claw with air roll right n left on bumpers

You just have to learn it

[coral crane]

Yea it’s definitely doable. I’m just saying fat finger as an immediate solution. Claw will take time to learn fat finger won’t

[manic gull]

I fat finger regularly lol

[naive eagle]

Hi. I'm an average Rocket League player looking to get better at the game as an individual (mechanics, skills, etc). I mostly play 1v1 and want to get at a good lvl before considering team matchups

Would anyone be able to assist in any way (tips, training drills, exhibition together, etc) ?

[trail pulsar]

If anybody wants better coaching I’m 1820 (roughly 6 games from SSL) currently in 2s and 1250 in 1s (gc2 div3) then dm me

[grizzled tundra]

y u do me like that bro im js bored lmfao

[latent bobcat]

mmr means nothing lmao

[mortal quail]

Bros assuming cause he's a higher ranked that he is a better coach

You know he gonna be a shit coach at that point, ego too big

[latent bobcat]

[grizzled tundra]

boys got my back

[still sedge]

yeah bruh we got u

[dusky fiber]

u are good keep up the coaching

[signal lintel]

True

"(roughly 6 games from SSL)" lmao

[untold roost]

are u 6 games from ssl?

[subtle bear]

idk if i’m buggin but fennec flip resets are so bugged

like i won’t get a reset

[trail pulsar]

Bc the way the fennec is you’ll sometimes hit the ball with the side of your car even though it looks like you hit it with your Center

[subtle bear]

yeah

[arctic elbow]

im diamond 2 anyone wanna 1v1 me to give me tips

[trail pulsar]

I promise you now if you just practice mechanics like flip resets air dribbles ceiling shots, power shots and power flicks you will rank up insanely fast and your defence will improve like crazy

[tight pecan]

@arctic elbow bro what he said is absolutely bullshit and hes trolling you just letting you know

[trail pulsar]

I’m not

It’s what I did and I’m about to hit SSL in under 1.5k hours

[mortal flax]

any tips to get gc3 i am 1640 rn

[trail pulsar]

I’m not tryna flex it’s not impressive but if other people want to also improve at a fast rate I’ve got good techniques to do so and don’t mind sharing em

[cyan moat]

looing for some tips/coaching im a returning player/newbie but a gaming vet all around just need some help overcoming some learning curves if anyone is willing to spare their ffree time to help wwwould bee appreciated

[mortal flax]

can you give me any tip?

[trail pulsar]

want me to watch one of ur replays for you?

[mortal flax]

ofc

[trail pulsar]

lets go dms then

SSL

[idle cove]

yeah honestly

[latent bobcat]

Mid gc 3*

[trail pulsar]

im high gc3 and still get trash tm8s

[fleet lance]

can someone help me with double taps? i tried to do it many times, was watching videos how to do it but i can't do it properly, I always have troubles on flip

[latent bobcat]

1800 is mid gc 3

[trail pulsar]

im 1820

[latent bobcat]

Thats the same 🤣💀

[trail pulsar]

mid gc3 is 1780

[latent bobcat]

Under 1800 yes

[trail pulsar]

what rank are you nicow?

[latent bobcat]

Gc 7

[trail pulsar]

good one

[latent bobcat]

😎

[trail pulsar]

i saw u peaked 1862 was that last szn?

[latent bobcat]

Yes sir

[trail pulsar]

then u should be around 1700 ish right now right? Becuase of how heavily inflated ranked was last szn

[latent bobcat]

I peaked 1780 this season but im with Hades rn

[trail pulsar]

thought so

[latent bobcat]

The last season was like the others lmao

[trail pulsar]

no it wasnt there was a bunch of win traders

making mmr heavily inflated

My friend was 2k last season and said 1800 this szn was harder than 2k this szn

[fresh saddle]

can anyone help me with flip resets? i can never use the flip correctly when i get one.

[latent bobcat]

Just because we lost a lot more mmr than usual at the start, it changed everything

[halcyon tulip]

anyone know any good training packs to get better?

[latent bobcat]

Its not bc of the win traders 💀

[trail pulsar]

it is

[latent bobcat]

Its not

[fresh saddle]

whats a wintrader

[trail pulsar]

they get 2 accoutns to queue against eachother and give ppl easy wins

[latent bobcat]

I was not talking about your chat 🤣💀

[fresh saddle]

oh

[trail pulsar]

idk how but they do

[latent bobcat]

There are videos about it

[trail pulsar]

to boost 1 account hella hgigh

a guy reached 3k mmr in 2s last szn doing it

[mortal quail]

Despite his hard trolling, he isn't wrong
Past few seasons have had insane inflated MMRs. Due to both nexto, boosting and win trading

[latent bobcat]

I saw one so yes there are

[trail pulsar]

yep

[latent bobcat]

Was on tiktok

[trail pulsar]

not as extreme as last szn

[mortal quail]

It wasn't near as bad as it was last season

Again I think its due to nexto as well, people get gc1 by nexto then get boosted to keep said rank

Last season and s9 had some of the most boosted players I've seen in gc1

Each lobby had 1 ex diamond/plat

Each time I thought someone was carried, I looked at the tracker. They were diamond last season

Graph goes straight up 90 degrees

[fresh saddle]

how tho

[mortal quail]

They were NOT gc1 level

Thats the point

It was clear they didn't belong there, but here they are

Bro shaddy wtf

Lmao

[trail pulsar]

what if someone got a new pc

[mortal quail]

How would they limit one acc per pc

[trail pulsar]

there is no way

ip's i guess but vpns exist 🤣

[mortal quail]

What's stopping me from signing out and making a new account

[signal lintel]

Lol what

[mortal quail]

Account sharing I guess could be stopped, but multiple accounts no

[signal lintel]

No it isn't. There's more to machine learning than "just run the thing and let it train"

[mortal quail]

Thats not possible without hardware breach

Which is illegal

[signal lintel]

Idk what else you'd be trying to say

[mortal quail]

Not really

A simple VPN entirely surpasses it

[trail pulsar]

hmm should i push for ssl tonight or not

[signal lintel]

"uninjectable" 💀

[mortal quail]

You'd have to remove the cheat itself or make it easily detectable, which psyonix did for nexto

[signal lintel]

We really speed running the braincell loss today

If you use a method from 6 months ago ya that's probably not gonna go well

Any that was public/popular when all that happened

That's it, we've solved cheating

[mortal quail]

Dont really need it atm

Nexto isn't a problem anymore

They figured it out however they did

[signal lintel]

Next time it will be far worse tho. It will happen again.

[mortal quail]

There is always a way, its just extremely difficult

[signal lintel]

I can tell

No lmao

[mortal quail]

He didn't get banned
He is still making bots

He was streaming the bot thing earlier

[signal lintel]

I don't even know which person you think is the one and only creator

But it doesn't matter

[mortal quail]

When, this is news to me

[fleet lance]

Someone have tips for reading? Im plat trying to get good double taps but i hit it rare coz can't read normally and position yourself

[signal lintel]

Freeplay, don't be slow

[fleet lance]

Bro i trained all my day today in free play

[wind tendon]

do backboard therapy training pack

or something like that

[fleet lance]

Can u send code?

[wind tendon]

i dont know it

look it up

[fleet lance]

Ok ty

[static gate]

Any tips for drop shot I’m current D1 how to improve tho

[leaden pebble]

can someone train me I’m tryna improve

[faint sail]

If anyone wants help learning in game playstyle or mechanics anywhere from air dribbling to quad flip resets in a PM, DM me NAE.

[cosmic jasper]

u gotta learn that in diamond what are u talking about

[coral crane]

No you don’t.

[slim crypt]

no u dont xD

[barren junco]

bro these rewards….

[coral crane]

I never use season rewards anyways

[slim crypt]

the banners were good tho

[dusky tusk]

Hey, can I please have some tips on how to fix my game. It has nothing to do with the visuals, but I last played in like season 4. I was about silver 1-2 back then and now I am unranked. I have played about 3 ranked matches so far and lost all of them by a very wide margin. I'm talking like... 7-2. I was unsure of why this is but then I studied the gameplay of my enemies and saw that they were doing things such as aerialing. I'm sure that this is commonplace now, but 3-4 years ago in Silver we did not do that. I have since translated from ps4 to kbm and I am what I believe to be bad at the game. However, matchmaking doesn't believe the same because I am consistently in games where both of the enemies are a lot better than I am.

I cannot post the picture, however, both of the enemies in my last game were platinum

[signal lintel]

Yeah the game is extremely different now. Freestyling is meta for the past few years as well. It's going to take more than a few games to fix your rank/MMR. Also most PC players use a controller

[dusky tusk]

yeah, and you may think. This might be because he did well in the last gamme

I assure you not. In all 3 ranked games that I have played, the enemies have been aerialing plats

One even did a triple flip reset

I find myself not being able to compte at all

[signal lintel]

Yes people aerial in gold and plat, probably even high silver idk. You don't need to, it doesn't necessarily help them especially in gold and lower

[slim crypt]

also after that long u probably got reset to default elo which is above silver

[coral crane]

True, personally I don’t use it tho

[dusky tusk]

what's default lo because it says "unanked"

[slim crypt]

call me

[signal lintel]

Ya that's possible, starting MMR is gold3 I think

[coral crane]

I think you start at 600mmr

[signal lintel]

Ye and that's low gold 3 in 2s

And 3s

[rose jay]

yesterday my duo told me I was the worst player he played with all night, how do I recover from that

[coral crane]

You don’t

Honestly I’d give up

[signal lintel]

Yeah

[rose jay]

how do I freestyle my way out of bronze 3

[faint sail]

If anyone wants help learning in game playstyle or mechanics anywhere from air dribbling to quad flip resets in a PM, DM me NAE.

[rose jay]

I only hit tripple 😢

[rose glen]

are there specific settings that are very good if you wanna be come a freestyler?

[faint sail]

If anyone wants help learning in game playstyle or mechanics anywhere from air dribbling to quad flip resets in a PM, DM me NAE.

[rose jay]

any freestyle coaches avaliable

[bitter horizon]

anyone wanna go for titles in extra modes

[graceful sequoia]

Damn the recent chats were so funny

[half hare]

Pls 6 people dm me

[faint skiff]

im d2 thinking of switching from kbm to controller cuz im hard stuck, need some thoughts on this

[plain shale]

💀

[plain shale]

im c1 and was thinking same thing but decided to stay because i dont have any prior knowledge on controller so

[faint skiff]

yeah but most people and pros play on controller

and it prob feels way smoother since theres 360 degree movement

[rigid tinsel]

Noooooooooooo im back to silver anyone got any tips

[late nest]

Can someone help me with tips to reduce possible controller delay or just a smoother game in general? I have a pretty good pc, but when I use controller, sometimes it feels really slow with the movement

[junior widget]

whats a good aerial sens?

[sacred wren]

It depends on your preference and what you are used to, but most people use sens anywhere from 1.0 to 2.0, I would suggest a sens closer to 1.0 if you are a lower rank

What's your rank?

I can get you against mid C3s on my alt account

[zenith chasm]

Yes please

[sacred wren]

Dm me

[strange charm]

Hey can anyone help me in rl

I’m gold division 2

[still hazel]

check dms

[strange charm]

I alright

[rain yoke]

just play more and be more aware where your tm8s are and what they doing-

[plush mural]

i keep bouncing between c1 and d3 ones, any tips? seems like any and every shot is getting saved, from reset mustys, 90s 180s, evamp drib flicks

[sacred wren]

Play smarter instead of these useless mechanics

[plush mural]

i just went on a 15 win streak using all those mechs, its usually some demo chasing or bum50 demon that beats me

[barren junco]

hi

[zenith merlin]

Gameplay tip, don't bump your teammate. They will hate you.

[zenith merlin]

Side note: Dont steal thier boost either

[woven dagger]

What should i do to get out of gold 3 in 3s if my tm8s cant clear a ball

[barren junco]

what should I do with my 850 ?

[cyan sage]

Dude im stuck in plat

[daring oyster]

anyone think they can coach me, a c2

[limber creek]

why are you stuck in plat

[cyan sage]

Idk im too bad?

I feel like im not improving at all

[limber creek]

You don’t have any specific reasons?

[cyan sage]

After a year

[limber creek]

You are most likely working on the wrong things

[cyan sage]

Dont wanna be the type of guy blaming my mates yk

[limber creek]

I was stuck in plat for a long time also

It’s not the teammates I promise

[cyan sage]

Yeah ikik

[limber creek]

If you were better than them the games would feel easy

[cyan sage]

I was like 🤏 be4 diamond

But always em last games

Feel like u get some smurfers😭

[limber creek]

Do you do free play or any training

[cyan sage]

I do both before i go ranked

[rough hound]

p3 3s na west im@champ

[limber creek]

What do you practice be honest

[cyan sage]

Atm hitting simple shots i returned after like half a year

[mystic python]

hi

[cyan sage]

I feel how i got worse so yea

[mystic python]

guys

[daring oyster]

.

[limber creek]

Do you know how to half-flip, fast aerial, and wave dash?

[cyan sage]

Yes yes ig and no

[mystic python]

im silver3 div 3 can someone help me?

[cyan sage]

Like double jump to get higher?

For fast aerial

[mystic python]

ur talking to me?

[cyan sage]

No my bad

[limber creek]

Yeah you double jump and boost to gain speed towards the ball

[cyan sage]

Yh yh

[mystic python]

k np

[cyan sage]

Op ong

[daring oyster]

noone able to help me as c2

[limber creek]

Honestly what got me out of plat was mechanics improvements, but I also learned rotations better after being stuck their for so long which is extremely important.

[cyan sage]

Back then i reall tried to learn how to airdribble but i felt like its too early over the time

[limber creek]

It’s not bad to try and learn air dribbles and flip resets early on. The skills needed to hit them consistently will help with other mechs like aerial car control. But don’t make it your only priority

[cyan sage]

I think i rotate too much like i rotate and stay tm in the back but thats bc i dont see any chance to push since m8s r always upfront and i dont wanna be too to mich cause if i do always we get an open net goal

[limber creek]

Do you play 3’s or 2’s mainly

[cyan sage]

2s

I cant handle 3s

Thats too much for me

[limber creek]

For 2s you really just need to have a solid understanding of 1st and second man priorities

[cyan sage]

Its hard when playing w randoms

Also thanks for teaching me rn

[limber creek]

You just have to always play based off of your teammates. It can be difficult but it helps to force yourself to think about your decisions while in the game.

[cyan sage]

Well i try to pass when i can

Or go back if i see my m8 boosting to the ball

[limber creek]

If you see your m8 pushing the ball for a 50/50 or clear try to put yourself in a position to receive a pass or support

[cyan sage]

Theres the problem i always think what if they loose the 50/50 we gotta go back so i dont even go to the front

[daring oyster]

idek what im doing wrong anymore

[cyan sage]

😭

[limber creek]

You never want to be right next to your teammate in 90% of situations you get into. The goal is to cover as much of the field as possible. If a bad 50/50 happens you want to be back so you can push the play and stall time for your teammate

If you see your teammate right next to you its best to just reposition and cover most of the field. I suggest watching players like Zen. He is a mechanical god and probably the best player in the world but if you watch him play he backs off from touches all the time to reposition for his team

It is extremely difficult early on to not challenge constantly because decisions happen to fast, but if you make an effort to think about those decisions you will make them faster as you rank up

[cyan sage]

What happened to squishy😭😭 thought he was the best

[daring oyster]

not really a best

theres just really good players

[limber creek]

He is still amazing, players have just continued to improve faster

[cyan sage]

I remember him doing playing till gc without doing a single goal

[limber creek]

He most likely doesn’t grind like he did when he was fresh in RLCS. Many of the players who are better are on the game 24/7. Squishy has accomplished so much already I doubt he puts in as many hours as someone like Zen

[cyan sage]

I cant get to dia by playing normally😭

[limber creek]

You can bro

It’s all about decision making

[cyan sage]

Ur a king

Im still back fresh havent been ranked in like 4 more games

[limber creek]

Do you ever feel like you are playing amazing one day and then trash the next?

[cyan sage]

Can i add u on disc?

[cyan sage]

Bro same day just between matches😭😭

[daring oyster]

same

[cyan sage]

Like one match i clutch up a m8 who left game next i cant defend a straight ball

[limber creek]

It’s because you haven’t built muscle memory for smart plays yet. What got me into GC was muscle memory. I made an effort to try and think about my decisions in game and over time it just became habit.

If you don’t make that effort during your games you will continue to make the same mistakes and you will feel hard stuck

[cyan sage]

But i see every so often not too rare some enemies WAYYYY better than the ones i had

[limber creek]

You will never wake up and just be a better player you have to think about your mistakes and figure out what you could do better. That’s 90% of improvement on the game if I’m being honest

Mechanics come with time and practice but game-sense and decision making have to be improved with effort on your part

[cyan sage]

I aee

[limber creek]

You will run into smurfs I still do in GC but you have to beat them to rank up. It’s a barrier of entry. Playing against better players makes you a better player

[cyan sage]

I feel like i wasted so much time i got like over 500h

[limber creek]

That’s not a ton bro

[cyan sage]

Yeah but like

I saw so many achieve more in much less

[limber creek]

500hrs for plat isn’t bad

[daring oyster]

i have 200 hours and im champ 2 and im so bad

[limber creek]

Don’t compare yourself to others trust me there is always someone who has done it faster just focus on what you can control

[cyan sage]

Im plat since like 300h

[proud widget]

can anyone give a list of most common bad habits that lower ranks have

[cyan sage]

Ball chase.

[limber creek]

I can

[proud widget]

1

[daring oyster]

man outsiderat you should just 1 on 1 coach me

[cyan sage]

I sent u a friend request so i can update u on my journey u seem really chill n stuff

[daring oyster]

maybe we could play casual or ranked

[limber creek]

Lower ranks often

1. rotate ball side into their teammate
2. challenge the ball when their teammate is first man
3. overextend looking for a pass leaving the net open for a shot or clear
4. Hit the ball away without taking possession
5. Fail to check for the oppositions positioning before making a touch or pass (usually leads to a pass to the other team for a clear or free possession.)
6. Playing defense from inside the net the whole game (use the backboard for strong clears)
7. Hit the ball to centerfield instead of the corner when playing defense. (The corner is the safest place on the field)

Half of it didn’t send 😂

[balmy summit]

what div are you in c2?

[daring oyster]

2 or 3 i think

[daring oyster]

somwhere around there^

[balmy summit]

nice

[proud widget]

nice
I wanna add other things that are also common

over complicating things

air rolling too much when going for air roll shot

flipping after hitting the ball when shooting (this can be useful for other situations, but it's not a powershot anymore)

[balmy summit]

currently div 1

[balmy summit]

wym flipping after hitting it like exactly how it sounds?

like hit it then flip

[cyan sage]

Accept it already 🙄

[limber creek]

You recover faster on many 50/50s if you save your flip and use a wave dash. Many lower ranks use the flip on nearly every touch. It’s much easier to take possession with a soft touch without a flip and you can still shoot extremely hard shots without a flip if you control your car effectively

[proud widget]

you jump
hit the ball
flip

instead of
jump
flip
hit the ball

[daring oyster]

anyone able to 1 on 1 coach me

im c2

[proud widget]

ppl don't even realize they are doing it

[cyan sage]

I will cry myself to sleep

[proud widget]

check dms btw

[limber creek]

Honestly if you just watch pros play and just pay attention to their first touches, and watch how they keep possession you will improve so much

[cyan sage]

I dont know why thy always win by ball hasing

[balmy summit]

its the way its played

[limber creek]

They don’t ball chase trust me

[safe flax]

hey guys

[balmy summit]

a few do

[safe flax]

how to jump start

[limber creek]

Just watch how many challenges they back off of to reposition

[balmy summit]

they always what a save me and such

[balmy summit]

jump start what?

[limber creek]

Oh I thought you were talking about the pros lmao

[balmy summit]

nahh

[safe flax]

like when game starts these people jumps and then boosts

[cyan sage]

They dont.

[balmy summit]

ariel?

[safe flax]

idk

[limber creek]

Watch Zen in the grand finals against BDS for a full game

[cyan sage]

Im getting ranked in gold 3 if this goes on omg

[safe flax]

ohhh

[balmy summit]

thats not really doing anything hes to good to watch

[safe flax]

its a kick off

[limber creek]

He has crazy plays but he never challenges unless he is sure he can beat or 50/50 a ball

[balmy summit]

he conserves his boost to the max

[limber creek]

You can learn a lot from pros gamesense wise. Try to focus on their decisions and not mechanics

[balmy summit]

also differs between teammates aswell

[limber creek]

Watch how they move around the field and watch how they make decisions when they have teammates near them

It is extremely rare to see a double commit from pros because they always watch their teammates and communicate well

[balmy summit]

like sometimes a tm8 yells at me bc i challenge it and its just confusing

[limber creek]

Think about it this way. Your teammates are stuck in the same rank as you. They most likely don’t know any more than you do. Everyone makes mistakes in game and lower ranked players often get upset at those mistakes. But if you watch replays you will realize the reason you are losing is often the decisions made by both of you before the obvious mistake is made.

For example- you are 1v1 in net and you get scored on and your teammate what a saves you because he is upset. Most likely your teammate made a bad challenge that led you to be stuck in a 1v1 when it most likely could have been avoided

Lower rank players often don’t recognize those mistakes and normally only see what is happening in the moment.

90% of goals scored on you are made because of bad challenges and positioning well before the goal is actually scored

[proud widget]

he felt like a full time last man back unless he got a chance to SHINE

[proud widget]

watch a kickoff tutorial on YouTube ig

[proud widget]

if you are last man
be patient and don't challenge

if you watch flakes
you will see that he doesn't even challenge as a first man

[balmy summit]

he was last man...

it was coming at our net i had to hit it off him or he would've gotten scored on

[proud widget]

you can ask yourself
did this challenge make it easier for my tm8
or made him awkward or in a 1v2 situation ?
did I get a good bump if I didn't get ball ?

[balmy summit]

it lead us to a goal

so id say easier

just that ig he wanted to wait for a clear

[proud widget]

another question mb
did I get a touch that I/my tm8 can follow ?
in this case, Yes 🙂

[proud widget]

if it's risky or your opponent is about to hit it
definitely challenge and don't give your tm8 attention

otherwise don't hit the ball and wait for your tm8 to go for the ball and boom

it's all about awareness

[cyan sage]

Currently at 9 lost streak

[balmy summit]

whats your rank?

[cyan sage]

Gold 3 in a game i bet

[balmy summit]

what servers are you?

[cyan sage]

I was plat 3 so i identyfy as plat 3 bur im ranking in en

[proud widget]

u can watch/let someone watch your replays

[cyan sage]

Europe

[balmy summit]

wanna q a few

[cyan sage]

Sure but lemme smoke first

[balmy summit]

out of curiosity what rank are you?

[humble rapids]

im gc2

[balmy summit]

W

im c2

[nocturne breach]

insane

[balmy summit]

he asked if i would q with him

[nocturne breach]

W

[tacit cradle]

I need to learn when to challenge the ball

[proud widget]

if you ask me
just q casual and go challenge the ball whenever it feels convenient,
then save the replay,
then go check the replay and ask yourself the following questions...

[proud widget]

here

[proud widget]

and here

also watch better players gameplay to see when and when not do they challenge
don't focus too much on their mechanics tho
just the decisions

[tacit cradle]

No

I need it to 1v1

[proud widget]

this but remove the tm8 part

also watch flakes
he almost never challenges

it's better than going for a bad challenge imo

[tacit cradle]

But sometimes i need to challenge or i get a strong flick

then challenge early enough so you don't get an early flick

if you watch pro gameplay u will see that they sometimes drop the ball immediately after trying to carry it
because they know that opponent can challenge now

[proud widget]

also why don't you let them
so you can practice saves
it's as simple as driving from one side to the other side

also if they flick too high
you don't jump for it and get a free goal

[tacit cradle]

I found a video thanks

[west breach]

does anyone here has some tips on learning how to speedflip im really struggling with getting it right

[sleek wasp]

does anyone have tips on air dribbling or dribbling i need to learn air dribbling and i knew some help on dribbling

[balmy summit]

do you play console or pc?

[sleek wasp]

console

[dusky fiber]

For air dribble: most important thing with air dribbles is the set up, if u can do that right u can get good tries, in general take your time with the set up at first. 1. try to get already on the ground in a good line so u dont go crazy left right before touching the ball. 2. try to get the ball as high as possible without it touching the ceiling. 3. u want to toch the ball when it has that up-movement and above the corner, otherwise the ball either goes to straight up the wall or too far away. 4. try to get in a similar speed as the ball. 5. At first, AS SOON as u touch the ball jump, rlly as soon as u touch it. When u focus on all these steps u should be already be very close to the ball after the set up. Then u just need to air roll in a straight position and try out the dribbles. Also try doing it in freeplay. Training packs can be good but there the set up is done for u and u might be able to actually dribble then but cant use it in game as u dont know how to set up

[balmy summit]

aint no way you typed that in 1 min

[sleek wasp]

ty man

[nocturne breach]

setup is important, but you can do air dribbles from any setup

[balmy summit]

just a suggestion but you could do all the training packs in the browse section

[sleek wasp]

thank you

[balmy summit]

it actually helped me out alot

and they are different then just doing them in freeplay

[dusky fiber]

its for getting into it, thats the best way to learn

[nocturne breach]

true

[balmy summit]

whats your typing speed

[left osprey]

Do you need to boost for a speed flip to be affective just doing stuff on the field in general

[balmy summit]

well ofc you need to boost

it helps with the initial part

[dusky fiber]

some people asked before, copy paste

[balmy summit]

ahh

i was boutta say

[dusky fiber]

needed no but def easier and more effective

[balmy summit]

you right didnt read the message right

[thin verge]

Towards the KBM players, do you diagonal flip with W + A/D or DAR?

I'm so used to diag flip with W + A/D but for speedflips (which ofc contain diag flips) I obviously use DAR instead, which kinda throws me off. Even more though it throws me off to try to always diag flip with DAR now (to make it "consistent"). How do y'all do it?

[still sedge]

usually a/d

[thin verge]

Okay thanks!

[sacred elk]

can someone help me reach gc?

[still sedge]

recoveries basic shadow defense basic shooting and basic aerials. Also back post

[modest forge]

any goats wanna teach me what to do to get better im p1 in 1s and d1 in 2s

[still sedge]

Hey guys where do i catch the ball from im confused

[still sedge]

p1 in 1s is literally kickoffs consistency shadow defense flicks bounce dribbles

[still sedge]

also catches

[still sedge]

oh and also recoveries if ur not great

[twin monolith]

[cyan sage]

Broooo i got 500hrs and stuck in plat😭

[hoary cradle]

[lime wind]

You and me both, the climb is so slow and the drops just chain together

[rigid tinsel]

anybody got tips im gold trying to reach pkat pls

plat

[lime wind]

Learn how to do a basic aerial

If you can hit a ball in the air in gold you get to plat easy

[kind aspen]

can sombody couch me

[lime wind]

I dont sell couches sorry

[bitter horizon]

anyone wanna go for extra mode titles

[coral ember]

rotation, dont miss the ball, dont over commit

[hoary cradle]

can you say what rotating is in more detail?

[coral ember]

know where u need to be

[rugged meteor]

best tip is wait for your teammate to touch the ball

once theres no one on the ball go for it

golds are very slow so if youre patient youre 100% winning

[long lion]

go around your teammates, not threw them. Thats the simplest i can explain

[glossy zinc]

get good

[coral ember]

what does this mean

[rugged meteor]

work on that

[long lion]

how long does it normaly take to find a good match in lfg? i just joined cause i dont wanna soloq in lower ranks its boring

[coral ember]

just see the post and talk to they guy with u wanna play

[hoary cradle]

i solo queue tho and when i go around my teamates they just hit the ball on the opponents side and dont control it

[long lion]

you have to practice just getting comfortable with your mechanics, and learn how the 'physics' of the game work

[coral ember]

then play around this

[long lion]

the problem is that i dont have anyone who is the same region and rank as me

[coral ember]

if u know they do this kind of stuff u need to adapt to this

[coral ember]

what rank u are?

[long lion]

you cant do anything about it, can you?

so practice on what you can improve on

not what your teammates can improve on

then read the other part of my message

[hoary cradle]

what mechs should i try to improve on

[coral ember]

i already say it

[hoary cradle]

im good at recoveries already

[long lion]

right now i am c2 cause i didnt play ranked in a few years haha, but i peaked like gc2/3 cant remember, just dont wanna grind back by myself its boring to play in low elo

[long lion]

just clasic powershots, dribbling, aerials etc. you dont need anything fancy

[coral ember]

i mean u can see a lot of post at c1-c3

[long lion]

all of them want mics

[coral ember]

just say u dont want 😆

[rugged meteor]

@hoary cradle what rank are you

[long lion]

im looking for someone who is like c3/gc1 without mic and eu

[coral ember]

if u dont even try

[long lion]

haha yeah

[rugged meteor]

im kinda c3

[hoary cradle]

plat 3 in 1's diamond 1-2 is 2s and plat 2 in 3s

[rugged meteor]

c2 div 4 lmao

[long lion]

eu?

[rugged meteor]

yes

[long lion]

wanna hop on?

[long lion]

@hoary cradle work on this, and you get champ if you do it consistiantly in no time

trust me

[rugged meteor]

so real

[rugged meteor]

yea why not

[long lion]

dm me your epic, lets not use this chat

[long lion]

noone believes, its simple to get to champ, even to low gc

[rugged meteor]

low gc isnt that easy ngl

i got gc1 once then fell off

[long lion]

eh depends

[rugged meteor]

solo q its very tough

[long lion]

if you are consistiant and good overall, no need for fancy mechanics, you can get low gc without a problem, in my opinion even gc2 if you are preety solid, but after that you would need to get a little more mechanical

[long lion]

i got to like high gc2/low gc3, not sure, soloqing

[fierce mountain]

Is there a quick way to get a goal explosion?

[long lion]

yes, to buy it

that so true

[pseudo fractal]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEH MAZING

[harsh abyss]

0-0

[pseudo fractal]

NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT

[thin verge]

What is faster sss boosting or speedflips?

[harsh abyss]

speedflip until you get supersonic

[thin verge]

Thanks!

[harsh abyss]

dont over flip though. Remember that you should be driving normally most of the times, you dont wanna flip and leave yourself vulnerable

[thin verge]

Yeah, I mainly meant for when I need to get back to my net fast e.g. after I did the first and my teammate the aftershot but they miss for example

[harsh abyss]

then yes, speedflipping

[long lion]

no im forreal, i played with some ssl female friend, and man did i improve after playing with her like 20 times a day

[edgy flame]

im new to controller so any tips

[cyan sage]

gc1/C3 need coach im dying

[drifting pulsar]

could someone coach me

[nocturne breach]

why u dying xd

[cyan sage]

Im hard stuck @nocturne breach

[nocturne breach]

what is your current rank

[cyan sage]

C3

[nocturne breach]

what mmr

[cyan sage]

1385

[nocturne breach]

and why are you usually getting scored on

[cyan sage]

I have no idea lol thats why i need a coach

[nocturne breach]

save replays

and analyze them

[cyan sage]

I do...

[nocturne breach]

then you know the answer

[cyan sage]

most useless thing ive seen in my life

[nocturne breach]

wdym

[cyan sage]

Bruh, if i dont know what is wrong by watching replays then how do I know the answer

[bitter talon]

here ill watch ur replay and tell u

[cyan sage]

I need realtime help

[nocturne breach]

then you aren't coachable

[strange whale]

Can someone coach me

[long lion]

thats a skill you should learn if you want to improve, you cant expect others to know how you play better than yourself, so just practice trying to see what mistakes you did(trust me you make alteast 50 every game, some are small but some are preety important), try to find those, and fix them. You will improve much faster.

[royal meadow]

can anyone tell me any maps to get my ball control in the air better and if anyone can help me lear nspeed flip im strugguling with it

[proud widget]

how can that be the case
am curious to see your replay file

[long lion]

workshop maps, open air dribble, rings etc.

[royal meadow]

ok ty

and idk how to turn right with air roll left

[long lion]

and speedflip is just a diagonal flip cancel, same thing as a half flip(a backflip cancel), just use a diagonal flip

[nocturne breach]

you don't need realtime help, coaches can't hold your hand in every game you play till ssl, you need to learn how to analyze replays, i doubt that at c3-gc1 you don't know how to analyze a replay and see what mistakes you've done, you can ask for coach for example telling you things that you should be doing in order to improve such as keeping the ball close and not booming it often in gc, mini pads etc. but if you don't know how to spot your mistakes in replays then you lack the common sense

[proud widget]

for speedflips use the plugin with musty speedflip test

[long lion]

i assume you are on controlelr, so i cant help you with exact buttons

[long lion]

explain? i dont understand what you wanted to say there

[royal meadow]

im on kbm i like flip forward go back wards and hold air roll left imedialty in the same time

[long lion]

a little harsh, but it is the truth mostly

[long lion]

do a diagonal flip

[royal meadow]

like i can do a air dribble from the left wall but when im on the right wall idk how to turn

[long lion]

and just cancel it the opposite way

same way you do a backflip cancel(half flip), you hold S, and release it into W

[proud widget]

it depends on where your car is facing
but you can use anything from right, up-right, up, up-left
and see how each direction rotates you car

[long lion]

same thing just instead of S and W, you use diagonal flip forwards(for S), and diagonal flip backwards(into the opposite direction, for W)

[nocturne breach]

is not harsh, he's too lazy to analyze the replays

he wants others to analyze it for him

[long lion]

so if you speedflip left, you do left diagonal flip, and cancel it into back right diagonal flip

[long lion]

eh i know, but still

i had the similar issue, just that i knew how to spot them, i just didnt want to do so cause it was boring

btw what rank are you @nocturne breach ?

[royal meadow]

i dont get it sorry
