[digital latch]

if i was a c3 last season buh because of the new season my mmr dropped, who should i try n que with in the lfg

[sharp kestrel]

Can anyone help me rank up?

[digital latch]

what rank r u

[void pagoda]

anyone got training packs for a bronze like me

[digital latch]

im pretty sure theres a pack called bronze-silver n itll help

[void pagoda]

what do I do against people who keep doing fake kick offs, they keep getting free points off of me]

[cyan sage]

just soloq

[digital latch]

i tried

stayed the same cause sumhow get sold in ot

i get 600+ point games idk wha im doin wrong

[halcyon brook]

Try predict if they ever try do it

[void pagoda]

okay

[lusty galleon]

watch them to make sure they are going for it

if not, turn away from the ball, or hit it gently to keep it near you

[void pagoda]

got it

[lusty galleon]

if you cant see them at all once you are near the ball, your camera is probably too low

remember that default camera settings are pretty bad. make sure to max out FOV, and i also recommend max stiffness so the camera doesnt lag behind your car on turns.

[coarse scroll]

yo finally another max stiffness user I've never seen one before

[lusty galleon]

yea i like max stiffness and very fast transition speed (not max tho cause it just snaps instantly)

[coarse scroll]

yeah rn my camera settings are
Camera shake: off
FOV: 110
Height: 100
Angle: -5
Distance: 270
Stiffness: 1
Swivel speed: 5
Transition speed: 1.5
Idk if I should change anything for them tbh

[proud harness]

great pfp taste

[signal lintel]

@coarse scroll@lusty galleon fellow max stiffness users 🫡

the superior camera

[coarse scroll]

best camera settings fr

idk why people use less than max like it just makes it hard to dribble and ur camera zooms in and out all the time

[lusty galleon]

yup

[cyan sage]

make it 370 dist

[lusty galleon]

lmao

do not do this

i have 310 at most, and thats pretty far

[cyan sage]

you can hit ssl with 400 dist 200 height

just get used to it

[lusty galleon]

you can also hit ssl on 200 dist with your screen sideways

its just a little harder

[cyan sage]

should start doing that

@mortal quail coach me

[winged scaffold]

bro is in love

[cyan sage]

ero coached me once and i went up 300mmr

feel free to dm @mortal quail and he might coach you too

[winged scaffold]

what rank are you now

[cyan sage]

c1

[winged scaffold]

noob

[cyan sage]

what rank are you

[winged scaffold]

d1 😎

[cyan sage]

like me before eros coaching

[winged scaffold]

can someone help me tho

[coarse scroll]

what do u need help with

[winged scaffold]

i think i could easily get to c3 but theres this single trash player thats literally on my team every single time

[cyan sage]

common occurence when you party queue

[cyan sage]

have you tried 370 dist yet

[winged scaffold]

idk how the queueing systems even work in that way that i get the same exact trash player every single time

[cyan sage]

im sniping you

[coarse scroll]

no I'm away rn but I'm not trying to see the entire planet with my camera settings either tbh

[winged scaffold]

like surely he'd be on the other team at least once

but every time i play with him and i lose

[cyan sage]

lame, if you did, you'd be gc2

[coarse scroll]

true I reckon that's what's stopping my rank up I'll use 370 distance when I get back

easy GC2

[cyan sage]

works for me

[winged scaffold]

if you decreased it to 100 youd get ssl

[coarse scroll]

*increased

470 distance on top

[winged scaffold]

no

decreased from whatever youre on to 100 dist

easy ssl

[cyan sage]

400 dist, 200 height, -15 angle, 110 fov

[coarse scroll]

u want me to go 170 distance

[cyan sage]

remember, a (former?) top 100 ssl 1s player plays with these

[winged scaffold]

if thats the closest you can go

the closer you are to 1 distance, the closest you are to top 1

[coarse scroll]

400 distance 200 height -15 angle 90 fov

100 distance like 10 height fr

[winged scaffold]

90 fov? literal tunnel vision

[coarse scroll]

how else am I meant to ballchase

I only want to see ball

[winged scaffold]

fair

[coarse scroll]

what's the worst controls settings u could use

[winged scaffold]

then turn up your angle so it faces more towards the sky

then you can go for ball when it in the sky

[coarse scroll]

yk I was trying to coach some dude and he said he was using circle as accelerate 😭

[winged scaffold]

lmao circle isnt even on the keyboard

[coarse scroll]

um

[winged scaffold]

what a bozo

[coarse scroll]

yes KBM on top

PS4 controllers are better than Xbox controllers imo

[winged scaffold]

0 is still equal to 0

as in amount of use you can get from those

[coarse scroll]

nah PS4 controller > Xbox > KBM > switch controllers fr

if u actually use KBM then quit idk how ppl play with it

[winged scaffold]

you just press keys

easy win every time almost all the time

[coarse scroll]

but like why not controller

like I feel like only reason for KBM is if u don't have a controller

[winged scaffold]

the controllers less than a meter away from me

a ps4 controller

but ew no

[coarse scroll]

use it PS4 controllers are perfect fr

[winged scaffold]

they are smelly fr

[coarse scroll]

something wrong with yo controller bro 💀

[winged scaffold]

no it works perfectly fine

its just a control issue

[coarse scroll]

ngl I need a new goal explosion idk what to get tho

[winged scaffold]

cosmosis or whatever it was called

[coarse scroll]

cosmosis is mid ngl

gets annoying after a while

map changing ones are too much icl

[lusty galleon]

i mean that depends on what your good at

but for most people:

• keep possession!
• shoot with power into the net consistently
• dont commit as last man (in 2s/3s)

dont solo queue

its horrible

you need a teammate you can rely on or at least predict

[cyan sage]

boom the ball at net

[lusty galleon]

gamer is c1 i think

i dont play ranked much anymore

[coarse scroll]

solo queueing best tho

[primal socket]

I have a question, should I start learning how to challenge the ball faster in the gold 3 range?

I’ve been getting dusted in 2s

[marble hornet]

could anyone help me improve? and tell me what im doing wrong (sliver 3 div 3)

what rank are u? @solar beacon

[coarse scroll]

you honestly should be minimising challenges at gold not trying to do them quicker

learn to shadow defend instead

[cold locust]

can someone coach me for free?

[cold locust]

diamons 2 div 2

[primal socket]

if I may, do you have any tips? backward aerials are tough 👎

[coarse scroll]

If ur on PC use a rings map and fly backwards or if ur on console just do training packs ig. Also when shadow defending imagine a line from the ball to your close post, you want to be outside this line so you can clear the ball towards the corner when they shoot (rather than have it go over your head)

[cold locust]

wish someone told me that wwhen I was in gold

[primal socket]

tyty my goat 😼🙏

[cold locust]

how do I tell someone i want to join thier group

in the looking for group channel

[wraith wraith]

Hey guys i used to use controllers on my playstation, but i switched to pc, and i cant get a controller to work because the normal dualshock 4 ones are expensive. ive been trying to get good at speedflips on keyboard and mouse but its alot harder, i know the movement and how to actually do it just executing it is hard, any tips?

[cold locust]

could I get coaching? diamond 2 div 2

[cyan sage]

I would actually buy a controller cuz it is the best for rl (maybe on amazon)

[cyan sage]

Idk sorry

Never tried

[cold locust]

what rank are you, just wondering

[deft hemlock]

Hello, i was wondering if i could some concrete tips on how to position my car under the ball for flip resets

I can do it very rarely and not consistently

Maybe theres some specific air roll that helps? ( on PC)

[onyx jackal]

You could get old controllers if they work they work

[solid crane]

At first I would recommend that you don't overcomplicate it.
Just flip your car around and approach the upside down. And then when you are getting the reset make sure your back wheels are at the equator of the ball as that will give you the best chance of following up the reset.

[deft hemlock]

Ah i see, im trying to apply a or d while rotating as that somewhat gets my car below it, but im struggling to get it at that 45 degree angle that people mention

it usually comes almost below it

[solid crane]

That could be bc you are way under the ball and thus it is awkward for you.
Try to think about the setup being very similar to an air dribble setup but instead of following the ball with soft touch you slam your car's underside into the ball

[signal moth]

What I one way to level up from gold to plat?

[wraith wraith]

But I wanna stay on keyboard because I’m enjoying the game alot more

[onyx jackal]

Okay but trust me it takes time to get good on kbm

[onyx jackal]

Speed

[civic anchor]

just keep on playing and do some drills for basic car control and you should.hit plat no time

[deft hemlock]

Ah thanks

[nocturne breach]

you don't have to switch to controller

there are many outstanding players on kbm

[wraith wraith]

yea i saw a bunch of ppl that were good on keyboard so i know its not impossible to get good on keyboard just speedflips are hard, dribbling and flicks and airrolling is alot more easier for me on kbm but speedflipping is harder which sucks

[nocturne breach]

it takes a bit of time to learn it

[latent vortex]

what is a speed flip

[nocturne breach]

a flip, but with speed

[coarse scroll]

It's similar to a diagonal flip, however you cancel the flip and move the stick in a way which keeps your boost facing backwards during the diagonal flip which allows you to boost during the flip. If it helps you understand it a bit better, imagine trying to boost during a front flip. Once you are halfway through the flip the boost will be facing backwards, so you can't boost during the entire flip. The idea of a speed flip is pretty much the same idea

[latent vortex]

dont think ive ever done it

[nocturne breach]

simply put, is a mechanic that requires you to press 2 keys at the same time and then fast switch to another 2 keys and is the fastest flip in the game in terms of gaining momentum

[barren oyster]

As a kbm myself, if you aren’t already doing this, I recommend speedflipping with q/w or e/w instead of holding shift to air roll . Although I still use shift I’m trying to change it up

[nocturne breach]

yeah, is q+w with transition to a+s, w+e to s+d

but the timing is important

[nocturne breach]

this is how the mechanic becomes useful

[barren oyster]

I wanna chain wall dashes but man, my middle finger can’t click that fast

Or maybe my timing between dashes is trash and not syncing with my clicks

[lusty galleon]

bro this the silliest thing ive ever heard

[lusty galleon]

shift makes it so easy
shift+W+A when you flip, then just move your pointer finger to S immediately after the flip
literally 1 finger change for a ultra-fast cancel thats perfect every time
and the shift+A you are still holding will complete the air roll rotation so you land on your wheels

[ancient marsh]

I use side mouse button

I can hold it all I want for air roll and do all movements

[lusty galleon]

i have air roll right on my side mouse button

cause thats my air roll direction when flying

[cyan sage]

@lusty galleon

[lusty galleon]

wha

[cyan sage]

need your opinion on something

[lusty galleon]

uh what

[cyan sage]

say that someone

can’t rank up because of their teammates

and it’s genuinely because of their teammates

do you tell them to adapt and rank out

[lusty galleon]

no i tell them to find a teammate

[cyan sage]

or to keep playing correctly and just deal with it

[lusty galleon]

solo queue is far more difficult

because you cant predict or rely on a teammate

[cyan sage]

what if they’re missing 2 limbs

[lusty galleon]

how is that relevant

[cyan sage]

it just is

now answer

[lusty galleon]

does not change my answer at all

[cyan sage]

what if the c3 has no fingers

[lusty galleon]

well they are c3 so

idc if they have no limbs and are playing using their nose, a c3 is a c3

[cyan sage]

hm-

2.6/10

[lusty galleon]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

i feel like you are trying to make a point

i do not know what that point is

[cyan sage]

i’m not

i exist

[lusty galleon]

ok

👍👍👍

[lusty galleon]

this is why i always tell kbm players:

• switch boost and jump binds
  jumps are far more precise than boosting, and the pointer finger tends to be more precise than the middle

i switched mine when i first started playing the game, never regretted it

[austere shale]

anyone got a good map for saving hard shots?

i just went up to plat 3 for the first time

[nocturne breach]

tf is that argument

[cyan sage]

all star goalie 💯

[lusty galleon]

ikr

[cyan sage]

he got a point

what if the c3 in question has no feet and 1 arm

[nocturne breach]

.

[cyan sage]

but are they?

[lusty galleon]

what if the c3 is an alien 👽👽👽👽

[nocturne breach]

real

[cyan sage]

id be hoping they get good ping

[nocturne breach]

good ping is an illusion, always blame the ping if u get scored on

is the law

[cyan sage]

thats the plus of having an extraterrestrial teammate

anyways can u help me freestyle

coach

[nocturne breach]

freeplay is your best friend

[lusty galleon]

800 ping but they have a flying saucer and can abduct the ball at will

with a speedflip or

are you sidefliping when you hit the ball

either

well its making you lose the 50 because you flip away from the ball

delayed beats speedflip when speedflip doesnt keep hitting the ball

a lot of people sideflip/diag flip out of habit

even when someone delays

no

try NOT flipping, you will be suprised how effective it is

then you can add the flip back in later once you are more comfortable

[onyx jackal]

For 50s?

[lusty galleon]

hell yea

single-jump 50s are awesome because you dont commit to anything

[onyx jackal]

Sometimes flipping is good tho

[cyan sage]

singlejump and wavedash to recover 💯

[lusty galleon]

yes sometimes but too many people just flip 24/7 on 50s and arent paying attention

[onyx jackal]

frr

[lusty galleon]

the flip should be to force it to your side, not to make the contact

[lusty galleon]

yep thats the wavedash kickoff, super effective

also make sure you arent speedflipping too late
you should have enough time to land and jump again to make contact on the BOTTOM CENTER of the ball
BOTTOM CENTER is VERY IMPORTANT
speedflip loses to gold kickoff if the gold is centered and the speedflipper is off to the side

[onyx jackal]

you deserve the coach role

[lusty galleon]

i cant tell you how many diamonds/champs ive coached and we 1v1 and i destroy their speedflip by driving into the ball and single jumping normally

speed flip and side flip should be used to make an already-good kickoff stronger

i literally spam fake kickoffs its so funny

people get so annoyed

i would fake the non-diagonals too but i suck at beating them to my corner boost tbh

skill issue probs

yea ik, they usually realize and take possession after the first few, and they usually have more momentum than me
i need to practice it more and probably commit more of my boost to the speed-up

[cyan sage]

whats your rank?

dm

[shy fox]

Anyone around champ 1 having Smurf problems?

Quick rant I play Smurf back to back games and take L

Third game another gc smurf carrying his pal and my teammate gives up while we are tied and concedes two goals

Gc smurf proceeds to tell me that he is gc and call me ass like brother I know but how can I rank up playing you lot every other game and not having a consistent duo

[cloud belfry]

solo ques are a load of shiiii

[shy fox]

I feel as though I’m doing my part for my rank I was c2 almost c3 in 2s last season now d3/c1 wondering if anyone can play a few cas with me or watch a replay and show me if I am the problem or if there’s anything I can do to help

[cloud belfry]

but I cant talk even tho im facing the smurf problem im d1

I need help w that too

[heady slate]

can some1 thats gc2 and above help me with some tips? if so dm me please :))

[cloud belfry]

u lost alot of mmr and got overtaken by the new skill ceiling

I cant relate but if u think u got enough game sense and good defense practice ur offensive techniques like mechanics, shooting, flicks etc.

Im d1 so..

yea best if u just dont follow my advice

I mean sure dm me it

oh

if ur on pc im p sure its in the game files

o wait nvm just rec it

and then upload it as like a yt link or sum idk

but I gtg

[shy fox]

@sage minnow I’d peep a replay if you wanna share

If your on pc you could screen share it if you don’t have em downloaded

[shadow silo]

im struggling in c2 in 2's any tips

is their a difference with a ps5 controller or ps4

[warped moat]

dmed

[deft hemlock]

Thanks for the help haha i got my first flip reset in freeplay

[marsh meadow]

can someone please coach me in rocket league i am a new player trying to find ways on how to get better and would realy appreciate if someone could coach me through my experience and help me get better 🙂

[solid crane]

Np man! Always happy to help

[cyan sage]

i will sue psyonix because they keep giving me bad teammates in a game i paid money for

[vocal moth]

hit ball

[onyx jackal]

win.

[coarse scroll]

imagine buying rl fr

[onyx jackal]

Can someone show me how air roll shots are performed

like just show me how they do it

I haven't seen any guide on them

[cyan sage]

i couldnt even reach gold back than

[onyx jackal]

.

[cyan sage]

what kind of airrol?

just areal?

[onyx jackal]

No just air roll shots that ate near ground level

[onyx jackal]

I use free air roll

[cyan sage]

kbm?

[onyx jackal]

how

[onyx jackal]

nah

[cyan sage]

than why use free airoll all of the time?

[onyx jackal]

I prefer it

Can you show me in a custom

what's your epic

[cyan sage]

i just lean left or right and hit with corner

and siince its near the ground you dont need 2 jumps from start ig

[coarse scroll]

i mean i was bronze 2 as well in season 1 😭

I wish I saved a replay from back then I wanna see how bad I was haha

[north turtle]

if anyone needs help with anything dm me (below gc players)

[magic atlas]

how do i not choke on open nets

[verbal harbor]

any tips to communicate with my teammate without him having a mental breakdown?

[coarse scroll]

try focus on keeping your car in line with the net. You want to be lined up so that if you were to just hold accelerate you'd just end up driving into their net.

[magic atlas]

dam

and how do i ariel?

r u interested in training me?

[worthy lava]

Thats impossible

[magic atlas]

EXACTLY

[verbal harbor]

be my opponent, they never miss open nets

[magic atlas]

frr

[willow wasp]

Donyall know where i can find a RL coach?

[coarse scroll]

Aerials isn't really something you can get coached with, it just takes practice. Just use a training pack to learn them

[coarse scroll]

I mean there's a rocket league coaching discord u can use ig

[willow wasp]

I dont see it 😅

Like frl i looked again

[coarse scroll]

it's a different discord

it's not a channel

RLCD coaching I think it is

[willow wasp]

thks a lot man

[sharp karma]

why you in gameplay tips and asking that.

[sly rock]

Anybody got any tips for accuracy? I notice that I sometimes miss the ball completely

[heady slate]

lol

[errant dirge]

Math lol

[barren oyster]

I only have a problem with this because my finger keeps catching the s keys edge when moving to press it

[heady slate]

nah tf u mean tho? calculate the laws of isac newton or whatever his name is divided by fallibng apples?

[lusty galleon]

no need to move any fingers down bro

use middle finger on w, pointer on s

(for left-side)

[barren oyster]

That’s what I’m talking about, my middle finger catches the keys edge

[errant dirge]

Im in germany 8th grade an can calculate where the ball goes and when to hit it. Its getting easier the longer you play to calculate that

[barren oyster]

It’s not much of a problem now but sometimes I’ll still mess up cause I go too low. (Mechanical keyboard)

[lusty galleon]

how? no fingers change keys, only pushing down and up

[barren oyster]

Your middle finger never switches from pressing W to S?

[lusty galleon]

not on left speedflip

no need to press D so just use pointer for S

and middle for W

also for right speedflip you can use ring for s

or just lift up your middle finger so it doesnt clip, the cancel doesnt need to be frame perfecf

[errant dirge]

How yall even good with keyboard 😭 i am way to dumb to play with keyboard

[ancient marsh]

hit ball

[errant dirge]

What

[lusty galleon]

its not harder its just different

[ancient marsh]

Kb way easier to learn than cntrllr

I was kb and im learning controller rn

[errant dirge]

For me controller is easier

Less buttons lol

[ancient marsh]

not rlly

Kb you only have wasd but on controller you have to move joystick and use accelerate and all

[lusty galleon]

nah its pretty similar in terms of ease

[lusty galleon]

whyd you switch

[ancient marsh]

Kb is simpler no fatthumbing or needing to learn claw

[ancient marsh]

i dont have my pc rn so im on xbox

[lusty galleon]

ah

[ancient marsh]

im gc 2 on kb but like d3 on controller haha

[errant dirge]

Im d1 on controller 😀

In 2s

[ancient marsh]

my 1s on controller d3 c1 my 2s d3 c1

Idk how i managed that

[errant dirge]

In 1s im dogshit

Im more a teamplayer

[ancient marsh]

My 1s better than 2s on controller

Cuz no bad teammates to worry about

[errant dirge]

I have a team mate for 2s

Hes d1 rn but max d2

Hes better in the air than me tho

With airdribbles etc.

[woven fable]

anything i should work on in particular as a plat 3

[errant dirge]

Depends

1s 2s or 3s

[errant dirge]

.

???

[deft hemlock]

How do you flip reset consistently on kbm?

[woven fable]

2s

[ancient marsh]

hit wheel on ball

[woven fable]

thats all i play rlly

[ancient marsh]

I spam 1s for improvement

[errant dirge]

Thats a way

[ancient marsh]

In 2s sometimes you're blind to your mistakes because of your teammate but in 1s its all your fault or a good play

[errant dirge]

True

[ancient marsh]

And its rlly good for training to not overcommit

Because if you overcommit in 1s its ggs

[errant dirge]

Only in higher ranks tho

[ancient marsh]

in lower ranks you can just sit defense they miss anyway and its a free goal

[errant dirge]

Ye that what i mean

In higher ranks be closer to ur opponent

[ancient marsh]

its not rlly about being closer its just applying pressure and keeping possession

[errant dirge]

Cuz sitting defense = too much time for them to setup a shot

[ancient marsh]

Yeah it works up until like d3

[errant dirge]

Thats what i mean with being closer

In 2s the keeping posession is dogshit

[north turtle]

everyone below gc (happens a lot in low gc too) just boost hog way too much and leave their teammates in hard positions

[ancient marsh]

Tbh in 2s sitting in net and letting opponents overcommit could get you like gc but you have to go out at points for shots and all

[errant dirge]

Im mainly beeing midfiel or more behind cuz im a "good" goal keeper for d1 i think

[north turtle]

in 2s?

[errant dirge]

Ye

[ancient marsh]

Mainly you want to defend in a way that you're then able to do a counter attack

[north turtle]

yeah thats not a good idea

[errant dirge]

Im trying to do so

[north turtle]

sure that might work in d1 but if you keep doing it you will never improve your play

[errant dirge]

Im going in the front often too

[ancient marsh]

Most stupid tactics could get you gc if done well enough, gc 1 kind of sucks now

[north turtle]

you have to learn how to play with your team

[left storm]

C2 is the new gc1

[errant dirge]

D1 is then gold or what

[ancient marsh]

learn to do this at like c2 because in diamond no one is ready to receive or shoot a pass

[errant dirge]

Ye

[north turtle]

I did a test a few years back and played kbm for the first time and got to c2-c3 with little to no mechanics

[ancient marsh]

Atm its so weird, theres gcs in c2, gc 3s in gc 1 but then theres d3s in c2

[errant dirge]

I have nearly no mechs too

[ancient marsh]

Flakes did like minimum mechs and got ssl

[errant dirge]

He isnt flakes tho

[north turtle]

Sure but he has play time

[ancient marsh]

smartest player fr

[north turtle]

I had played with kbm for under 1 hour when I started

and played for a few dats

days*

[ancient marsh]

When i started controller i was forgetting how to reverse lol, weird going from 6 resets on kbm to not know how to jump

my first 3 days on controller I kept boosting instead of jumping by accident and forgetting how to reverse

[errant dirge]

My controller rev button is a bit broke so im slower in reverse

[north turtle]

the most important thing for everyone under gc is to focus on one or two mistakes that they are doing each game and try to get rid of them imo...

[ancient marsh]

i think everyone fell in ranks tho, everyone in my friends list was like gc 1 minimum now half of it is c2

[north turtle]

and im talking about game sense... your mechanics will improve as you play against better players

[errant dirge]

I play against players that either cant keep posession or dont even have basic mechanics but more adv ones like air dribble or some shit

[north turtle]

If youre diamond with just stopping boost hogging youll get champ 1 in a month easily

[ancient marsh]

hit ball = gc +

[errant dirge]

Wdym hogging english isnt my native language

[north turtle]

going for boost24/7

leaving your teammate alone in attack

and in defense

learn how to pick up small pads

and how to play with 50 boost

[errant dirge]

I can do that

[north turtle]

everyone can do it

but you'd be surprised everyone does it still in c2

c3 gc1 less but still way too much

gc2 stops happening that much imo

[errant dirge]

Im staying more behind if my mate is in a risky attack so i can give them time to recover if they fail the attack

[north turtle]

yeah thats good but depends on what you mean by that because youre probably doing it wrong if youre only d1

[errant dirge]

I can defend long shots

Wheny im in shadow defens and they dribble right behind me im fucked

[ancient marsh]

on controller I miss 50% of the boost pads even if in a straight line lol probs why im only d3 on it

[ancient marsh]

Ill send a good video for that in dms it shows how to defend 1v1 situations

[errant dirge]

Ok ty

[north turtle]

not saying this to be mean but if youre in diamond youre probably doing just about everything wrong... and thats a good mindset to have imo. Dont ever think that you should keep doing the same stuff because youre definitely doing it wrong. Learn how to stay in play not too far into it but not too far either

[errant dirge]

Ok

[north turtle]

Making mistakes is the only way to learn but if youre not trying to change your style of playing youll never learn

[ancient marsh]

on controller I can barely shoot an open and defend so no wonder im only d3 on it lol

[errant dirge]

Open net is evryones nightmare imo lol

[ancient marsh]

my rotations and all are good but I have no control on controller so i can barely capitalize on any counters and all

[errant dirge]

Any tips what i could try to do or waht to focus on

[ancient marsh]

hitting ball properly and boost management

Go in freeplay turn unlim boost off and practice picking up small pads blindly

[errant dirge]

Ok and wdym with hit the ball properly

[ancient marsh]

be able to hit it with power and accurately consistently

[north turtle]

its hard to say without seeing you play

[ancient marsh]

be able to like have light hits to control, catching it, hitting it high, booming it

hitting ball properly alone is mechanical enough for like gc 2 3

[north turtle]

I wouldnt focus too much on mechanics honestly... when you get higher your mechanics will improve as you play against better players

[ancient marsh]

you need car control though

[errant dirge]

What mechanics do you mean in general

[ancient marsh]

ngl tho walldashes are op to learn past gc

[ancient marsh]

You dont need flip resets below gc for example

[north turtle]

like cold said just shooting and not missing the ball 24/7 is enough to get to pretty good ranks

[ancient marsh]

trust learn to catch, hit, boom, shoot and take control of the ball and its gc with rotations added

tbh maybe even ssl

[north turtle]

*if you have good game sense

[errant dirge]

Wdym game sense

[ancient marsh]

some 1s can fix that quickly

[north turtle]

knowing where to be

[errant dirge]

Btw not doing those at all

[errant dirge]

You mean like rotation

Not double commiting

Or ball chasing

[ancient marsh]

positioning and knowing when to challenge

[errant dirge]

In defense i can position myself good

Behind my m8

[ancient marsh]

As 1st man if someone is going for a play for example you want to disrupt that play so that its easy for your 2nd man to take

[errant dirge]

Backpost etc

[errant dirge]

Ye

[north turtle]

you are not good a positioning i promise you

[ancient marsh]

you need to be able to apply pressure whilst in defensive positions

In d1 you probs defend a shot and dont get possession until sm1 miss

Good defense and being able to see space for a counter is enough for gc 1

[errant dirge]

I cant rlly get pressure on them in defense cuz they just boom the ball over half the field

[ancient marsh]

fake challenges and all

[errant dirge]

When im far away from them

[ancient marsh]

and just be able to spot when theres an opening for a counter

Fake challenges work 99% of the time below champ

[errant dirge]

U rlly cant fake sm1 in d1

[ancient marsh]

Above gc you can start learning to do fake fake challenges

[ancient marsh]

Pretending to challenge and makes them panic

Always works

[errant dirge]

They boom the ball no matter what

[ancient marsh]

Free ball

[errant dirge]

Even there

From evrywhere

[north turtle]

pretending to challenge is soo good in diamond

[ancient marsh]

The point is to make them hit ball away from themselves

[errant dirge]

Ooohhh

[north turtle]

they dont know how to shoot from an akward spot

so you get away with it even if you do it bad

[ancient marsh]

most diamonds cant shoot from anywhere except goalline lol

[errant dirge]

Thats what they do even if nobody challenges

[north turtle]

just learn how to pressure the enemy team without commiting too hard

[ancient marsh]

so just take the ball and attack lol its a free ball to take

[pliant citrus]

Just don't boom the ball back to them once you get possession from their boom 😂 that's most low-mid diamond games I've seen

[north turtle]

you dont have to go for the ball just make them panic turn back and let your teammate push

[ancient marsh]

they tennis games bro

[errant dirge]

Fr tho

[ancient marsh]

they play it like its heatseekrr

One boom and then they wait in defense or overcommit

[errant dirge]

There is no wait in defense for my opponents

Commit or death

[ancient marsh]

Occasionally timmys ego is at a high and he goes for an air dribble that goes straight to the enemys corner

[errant dirge]

Corner is safe in defense

[north turtle]

yes dont tennis... my cousin who is like c2 does this always. When in defence doesnt push enough and lets enemy team have a lot of space and in attack just throws the ball at them as soon as possible

[ancient marsh]

not in high ranks

the amount of fear i get when ball in my corner and someone going for an aztral pinch

Ball just launches at 130kph into net from ur corner

[errant dirge]

What is aztral pinch

[ancient marsh]

Its like a kuxir but in the corner

[north turtle]

just a pinch from the corner

[errant dirge]

Im good with pinches

Not in the net but in defense away is good enough if nobody is in behind

[ancient marsh]

Ceiling pinches are underrated

[north turtle]

idk about that if you mess up youre out of play especially in 2s

[errant dirge]

Ye

In d1 they cant even kuxir pinch

[ancient marsh]

not always, i use them in my corner to clear it sometimes i even get a goal doing that

[north turtle]

and in high ranks people will be on the wall anyways so if you dont get a really good hit its pretty easy to save

[errant dirge]

Ceiling = air = air drobble

[north turtle]

im not saying they cant be good but I wouldnt say that they are underrated

[ancient marsh]

works for me in gc unless I do it terribly but then its kinda fine

[errant dirge]

D1 + air drobble = goal in ur own net

Nobody even hits the ball consistently in the air in d1

[ancient marsh]

No one hits it on the ground in d1

in d1 if you just shoot ball top half of net its a goal

[errant dirge]

Thats a reason why i am mainly on the ground

[errant dirge]

I can save some higher shots too

When they arent like 5 metres away from the goal

[ancient marsh]

i rarely see a d1 save a good placed shot thats anywhere above 100kph

[errant dirge]

Most players cant even get it above 100 kph 😭

Or place it either

And when they are placed its mostly not even wanted

The good placement

[native fable]

any ssl or gc tell me how to improve rotations

[north turtle]

what rank

and are you pc

[native fable]

i am champion

im pc yes

[north turtle]

champ 1?

[native fable]

yes

[north turtle]

dm me

[sick iris]

Im trying to use the sparkles boost but its bugged someone knows a fix i know its the wrong channel but idk where to ask

[onyx jackal]

could someone help me with ceiling mustys?

[cyan sage]

@meager crystal

@tawdry moat

[sweet osprey]

can someone help me do air dribbles

[dusty fern]

how to double jump on controller to go faster, i was kbm player but i got a controller now and when i try to double click jump botton i go in air instead

[ancient marsh]

what

[pliant citrus]

Do you mean front flip? Double press your jump button while holding forward (up) on the left analogue stick

[sweet osprey]

can someone help me do air dribbles

[pliant citrus]

What part are you having trouble with?

[sweet osprey]

@pliant citrus hmm really when i jump off the wall

[pliant citrus]

Something i found myself doing a lot when i was learning was when i jumped from the wall to line myself with the ball, i wasn't boosting until i was lined up properly, and ended up with the ball getting away from me. Try keeping the ball as close to you as possible through the whole play. Apart from that, it's small touches to change direction/speed of the ball that is a lot of trial and error to see what works for what you're trying to do

[haughty igloo]

@dusty fern press jump push stick forward press jump again

[ocean ingot]

Can someone help me get GC

[sharp karma]

whats ur rank

[ocean ingot]

c3 div 2

[dusty fern]

thx

[quartz fiber]

in champs in different kind of cancer mate, people who want to dribble every ball, take everythiung to wall , jesus

[rotund mist]

looking for a couch, diamond I-II, rotational player, need help with ball control and decision making, dm me

also looking to coach, diamond 2, i can coach rotations if your gold/plat/lower

[sharp karma]

i cant understand why im still stuck in dia2.

[cyan sage]

I’m I the only person who is getting worse when they rank up

[orchid condor]

think really hard about what u just said

[cyan sage]

I have

[orchid condor]

double digit iq, shame

[cyan sage]

thanks mate

What’s bro cooking ‼️

[orchid condor]

lol im just playing, its just such a dumb question.. Because you're climbing wich it litteraly proof you're doing some form of improvement, then second of all you're facing players who are used to the rank thats new to you

[cyan sage]

for some reason I feel like my mechanics have gotten worse when I’m ranking up

Probably cause I’m given less space

[orchid condor]

makes sense, the air dribbles that worked on gold wont work on diamonds

so u gotta get better at it

its how it goes in rl

[cyan sage]

I’m probably just overthinking this icl 💀

[orchid condor]

you are, as soon as u adjust to the speed, you'll find the space

but you'll also have to improve the current mechs aswell ofc

[cyan sage]

Alr thanks man

[hardy star]

thanks lol

aight well idk if we should be taking about bss chat

IM BRONZE 2 !!

Bots are too godly like I can’t beat them

I JUST GOT WARNED LMAO

[hardy star]

Whoever warned me

[rotund whale]

I just ranked up to gold 2, is there any tips? ive been hardstuck on gold 1 for a while. (13 hours stuck)

[lunar badge]

kinda just play and enjoy till champ, for now, stick on aerial training and flicks.

[rotund whale]

thanks, i try it and i find it really hard on pc

[lunar badge]

pc is easier, less input delay and more performance. unless you play kbm, plat should be easy.

[rotund whale]

your right about that, on dropshot im plat 3

[lunar badge]

for aerials id recommand hoops, i just find it chill and can really train them.

[rotund whale]

i see, thanks for the recommandation,

[lunar badge]

also use custom training packs

[rare grail]

Ok what is the pc u guys recommend for like high end graphics?

[rotund whale]

I dont know how to find any, any i find are too hard.

[orchid condor]

for rocket league? u dont need high end

[lunar badge]

man high end graphics for rl sucks

[orchid condor]

my 3060 gets over 100 frames on highest quality, so no worries there

[rare grail]

Ok well what is the best pc for rl you’d say?

[lunar badge]

even my old laptop with a crappy 7th gen i3 ran it 60fps constant, got c2 witj it

[lunar badge]

man something that can run it up 144fps is cool

400€ pc is perfectly find for rl

u dont need craaazy specsp

[rare grail]

I am trying to raise a pro team fr thanks bro

[lunar badge]

gl with it

[rare grail]

Yeah gonna need it

[lunar badge]

dayum no gc queuing in eu, finna go sleep 😂

[rare grail]

Lollll

[lunar badge]

hard work pays off

gl and gn buddy

[rare grail]

Gn bro

[sturdy forge]

anything does it really depends on the hertz monitor u got too no point getting a pc that can run 240fps easy without a 240hz monitor

[ancient marsh]

144 is enough

[rare grail]

Ok thx guys

[undone fjord]

Any tips how to get out if c1?

[shy walrus]

C1 is so annoying I swear had a massive loss streak and dropped to mid d3

[charred needle]

yo anyone wants to help me get the 15 casual games challange? We ff at 3:30

[plush wharf]

I’m gold three division three, any tips to get to Platt

[signal lintel]

For RL it's really good

[fresh garnet]

how do i get out of bronze

[rotund cloak]

If anyone needs some tips to help rank up, feel free to dm me!

[kindred trail]

If you have troubles with your mechanics.. does not matter what mechanic. Or you just wanna quick basic mechanic checkup. Feel free to DM me. Imma mechanic coach. Even gc’s and SSL’s don’t get why I know so much haha.

[kindred trail]

Best general tip I can give you.. diamonds are ball chasers.. and let them make a mistake.. and overcommit and well.. you’ll manage to get to champ…

[kindred trail]

Champ1… well you know the mindset now.. so how do you make them awkward? Give them “time” to mess up.. they are waiting for your commit.. that helped them out of diamond. So… what if you just don’t commit… they don’t know what to do then bro;)

[hoary vine]

any tips to get out of plat 3? (i’m good at rotations and boost conserving)

[cold locust]

@kindred trail so what mechs should I know in mid diamond

[rotund cloak]

If you have the privelage of having good boost management aswell as good rotations the best way for you to 1v2 and climb your way out of plat into higher ranks is to really put focus on your teammate and the play thats being made. If you can learn to adapt to your teammates and play around them you'll have a way easier time to rankup! dm if u need more help 😄

[heavy ridge]

just basic stuff. Powershots and half flips with areals

[rotund cloak]

Knowing what to do in akwards situations is a big help

getting used to being in a not-so favourable situation and knowing how to deal with it

those situations occur very often in the lower ranks but also all the way up into higher ranks

[jagged fossil]

Can anyone help me with wave dash flicks

[vestal mortar]

need someone to analyse a replay for me, im absolutely trash and stuck in d1 need to know how to get better

[karmic viper]

how do I wall dash?

[gritty laurel]

which wall would I jump off if I use directional air roll right for aerials

[coarse scroll]

you will probably prefer right wall but it's worth trying both. You should be comfortable with both walls anyway, it's important you can aerial from both sides. Don't neglect one of the sides for sure

[coarse scroll]

what sorta mechanics should I be learning to get GC2+

[craggy pumice]

Pass, consistency and positioning

[spiral zenith]

Yoo anyone tryna watch how I play and see you can give me any tips and pointers?

[cyan sage]

rank?

[cyan sage]

dont need to learn any, just be faster and smarter

should be able to ballchase to gc2

[coarse scroll]

what

u want me to play with no mechanics and ballchase

[marsh meadow]

can anyone please coach me in rocket league, ive been looking for someone to help me get better at the game. i am a new player and need help with my settings and general gameplay 🙂

[coarse scroll]

DM me I'll try help a bit

[cyan sage]

I jsut picked this game back up im g2 but ball chase alot can any1 give me some advice??

[sage fractal]

do 30 minutes custom training a day

[coarse scroll]

try watch your teammate more, and if you notice that you are getting too close to your teammates or that you are both going for the same ball then turn back and take the last man role

[cyan sage]

it would work tbf

I dont consider air roll shooting a mechanic, ig it could be tho

air roll shooting, and ball chasing, and you're good to go

[coarse scroll]

Are u being serious 😭

[cyan sage]

Thats how i do it

[urban tree]

oof

[coarse scroll]

ah yeah I remember when u hit GC2 ballchase fr mb

[cyan sage]

me every season i play

[coarse scroll]

Just switched to 400 distance we go ballchase 😎

[cyan sage]

370 is better

[urban tree]

bruh

[coarse scroll]

too close

[urban tree]

oh what ur ranks btw

[coarse scroll]

I want to see entire planet

GC1 rn

[cyan sage]

Ty

[urban tree]

oh nice

[coarse scroll]

he's SSL fr

[cyan sage]

nah, I just play 1s

[coarse scroll]

he's SSL in 1s

he's pro gamer it's even in his name

[cyan sage]

Nah, I dont need to be that good, I only need to be good enough to beat people who i shittalk

which is usually c2's and @mortal quail

makes sense since ero is c2

[coarse scroll]

what's ur actual rank

[urban tree]

what would you say your skill level is at

like rank wise

[coarse scroll]

ur not gc2

[cyan sage]

unlucky, my bad

[coarse scroll]

nah he's like plat 3

[urban tree]

if you play 80 matches in competitive, and stay in gc2, you cant with ballchasing

even if you get carried by zen or smthn

[coarse scroll]

yeah he's obv like plat it's just jokes

not serious

I don't use 400 distance either haha dw

[urban tree]

Lol

[coarse scroll]

what's ur rank

[urban tree]

i use 270

[cyan sage]

dm'd

[coarse scroll]

same also 270

[urban tree]

ig its just the balance between good view and control

[cyan sage]

I use 370

[urban tree]

are you still in plat?

[cyan sage]

sadly no

[urban tree]

you moved down? to what?

[cyan sage]

silver 3 or smth

[urban tree]

yea

so stop using 370

[cyan sage]

tm8s hold me back

[urban tree]

are you that guy

[cyan sage]

No, i play 1s, im my tm8

[urban tree]

oh

lol

[wraith wraith]

What are some tips for playing on kbm

[cyan sage]

370 >>

[cyan sage]

same tips as on controller, except mechanics are easier and you have to tap keys for control instead of half inputs

[coarse scroll]

what's this bro 😭

[wraith wraith]

yea one thing i do struggle on kbm and not on controller is speedflipping

[coarse scroll]

u literally exactly plat 3 I'm crazy at guessing

[wraith wraith]

alot harder on kbm

[cyan sage]

me trying to get coaching from ero2bosnia

[cyan sage]

bro did not in fact read dms

[cyan sage]

speedflipping on kbm is quite literally 100x easier 😭

it's one button change

[coarse scroll]

💀💀

[cyan sage]

if you're incapable of sliding your finger from w to s, idk what to say

[cyan sage]

Real tho

i always get the worst tm8s (i party queue with ero)

[coarse scroll]

nah trust plat 3 is basically GC tho

[wraith wraith]

im still getting use to it bro chill tf

[coarse scroll]

just washed u get it back this season

[cyan sage]

real (dms dont exist)

[coarse scroll]

ur DMs aren't u bro 💀💀

[cyan sage]

used to fingers? slide your middle finger from w to s

[cyan sage]

thats literally me 😭

[coarse scroll]

it's not bro 😭

[cyan sage]

I renamed the acc zentha on cope

[wraith wraith]

i was used to controller for a good solid 2-3 years?? ive been playing kbm for like a week and i havent been no lifing thegame either

[cyan sage]

ah, welcome to pc friend

WE + Double jump to get the diagonal, then cancel it by moving the finger pressing w down to s, release s for a slight second to release the cancel at the end for a recovery, then put it back on w to drive again

boost throughout (not required)

[coarse scroll]

what rank r u in extra modes as well

[cyan sage]

I sent you the whole ass tracker bro

[coarse scroll]

u did?

that's yo friend bro no way that's u fam

why u say ur plat 3 everywhere else

[cyan sage]

to the steam link yeah i did

(idk if thats the right acc for the ss's i sent, should be tho)

yeah it is, just checked

[cyan sage]

real

maximum cope

[solid crane]

@novel plinth
Dogi's general mechanics guide

This is a guide that does not focus on specific mechanics but instead aims to help you break down mechanics and practice them effectively. If at any point you are struggling take note of it and you can ask for help in x channel or consult a coach in your next 1 on 1 or group coaching session

1. Learn the setup

• Every mechanic has a setup and lucky for us they can be similar.
• For example once you learn how to dribble and how to keep the ball in a specific spot on your car from that you can learn basically every flick and ground play. So taking this into account learning the setup is crucial.
• Think about the setup as an anchor. The better the setup the easier it is to execute any mechanic.

2. Learn the mechanic in a controlled easy environment

• Once you can consistently setup the mechanic it is time to learn it.
• Of course every mechanic is different and can be used in different ways and all these things are important to understand.
• Go into free play and make sure you have unlimited boost on and practice the mechanic for 2x30 minutes or 4x15 minutes as this will allow you to get the most out of your training
• I would recommend using free play more mixed up with free play checkpoint plugin and some solo private games (to avoid the abuse of free play binds) and you can and should train on training packs if you don't have any training packs to use you can go prejump.com and you can search for a pack there.

3. Practice the mechanic in a controlled but harder environment

• Once you have the mechanic down, understand basic aspects of it and you can consistently pull it of in free play/training packs then it's time to make things harder.
  You can do a lot of things to make your life harder
  For example you can:
• turn off unlimited boost in free play/training packs
• try to speed up and try to execute the mechanic at a faster pace
• go for more difficult angles by trying to setup with weird bounces our setting setting up closer/further away from the net
• use training packs that have more awkward angles and weird setups
• or you can do everything at once

The point here is to try to simulate a real game scenario. In a controlled environment there is no pressure or fail condition so we must create them for ourselves to push us and improve further.

4. Pull off the mechanic in an uncontrolled environment

• If you have come this far then it is time to try to score our newly acquired mechanic on a real opponent
• You can go into casual 1s or play scrims against friend where the pressure is not as high and try to score it on them.
• Obviously they shouldn't really just let you set it up, just play and let it happen naturally. If you try to constantly set it up and score it they will just read you like a book and early challenge you to stop you.
• So take your time, no need to rush things

5. Implement the mechanic into your playstyle and use it as variety in your ranked games

• Now that you have another mechanic in your arsenal it is time to start using it in game and get goals with it.
• If you want to improve it further go back to step 3 and if you want to learn a new mechanic then start over at step 1
  Good luck out there!

-Dogi

Just apply this wall of text to whatever you are trying to learn and you will improve pretty quickly

[novel plinth]

ty

[cyan sage]

no shot you read all that

[solid crane]

Definitely not in that timeframe atleast he knows he can vome here to read it later or he saved it.

[cyan sage]

true

[novel plinth]

yeah i saved it

i read the first step cause thats what im focusing on rn lol

[south dock]

i did and i will use these tips to get to plat

i lied i didn't but ima read it now

i have learned nothing

if you wanna learn a mech, look up a vid, look up a tutorial, practice said mechanic every now and then, compare your mistakes to someone who does it right by using vids again, practice again. boom

taking the mech into real game = learning game sense when to setup your mech

this has been your Ted talk with Mimi

[dusky fiber]

Thats usually the way, however there are people who struggle and make individual mistakes which they dont see or after a lot of time, this time it can be good if someone looks over your specific one to say what the person does wrong

[novel plinth]

Would it be best if my goal is Mid GC1 to just train fundamentals and try to perfect them rather than training flashy mechanics like flip resets, mustys, pogos etc.

[dusky fiber]

Yeah, flip resets are fine and not flashy i would say, try and get good with the basics like air dribble, ceiling shot, flip resets and double taps, if u are good at those its fine no need for musty pogo etc

[novel plinth]

I’ve never hit a flip reset is it necessary? I have a 2 hour routine I just made and I’d have to learn them

I guess I could add 10 minutes of learning flip resets to my routine

[dusky fiber]

They are not 100% necessary but it gives u more options, 1 reset is fine tho no need for more js

[novel plinth]

Gonna be hard af

[novel plinth]

Okay sounds good thanks

[dusky fiber]

What do u struggle with with flip resets?

[novel plinth]

The set up😅 getting under the ball

I don’t understand the timing not enough repetition

[dusky fiber]

Game sense like rotating, boost management, etc. are more important then rlly good mechs i would say, play more 1s it can also help u

[novel plinth]

Sounds good yeah is 5 games a day enough?

[dusky fiber]

Can u send me a vid per dm of your tries? I will tell u what u need to work on/change

[dusky fiber]

Yhyh

[novel plinth]

I can later i’m off the pc rn sorry

[dusky fiber]

Send it whenever 🙂

[novel plinth]

Bet

I get triggered easily so i’m keeping it 5 a day lol

I’m trash Diamond 2 in 1s smh

[dusky fiber]

Understandable lol, ik its a pain but sometimes mates leave u in that 1v1 or even 2v1 and its good zo know what to do then, also other things like kick offs, dribbles, shots, etc. Can be improved

[novel plinth]

I like winning too much lol

[dusky fiber]

Would def be the best but i feel like its easier said then done for most lol

Sounds like pain …

[novel plinth]

As long as I improve thats what matters. The rank can stay the same for awhile

Been hardstuck long enough in Champ lol

[unreal moss]

I feel like I should make this decision while i'm still in platinum

Do I swap to controller

From mouse and keyboard

[novel plinth]

Yeah. I’m C2 on mouse it sucks

[unreal moss]

Alright then thanks man

[novel plinth]

Go on controller

Before its too late and u get stubborn and have to relearn stuff

[left storm]

Kbm OP

[novel plinth]

Lol harder to reach higher up tho

Than on controller

[left storm]

Best kbm players are better than best controller

Maybe not functional but for looks etc

[novel plinth]

Like 98% of players use controller I would say that lol . I regret being kbm

[dusky fiber]

I feel like it depends on preference, especially if u already played on controller before if u had a console at one point i would say its easier, but if not then its rlly however u prefer

[novel plinth]

Maybe its the way i train but i feel like i’d be more consistent on controller than kbm with the amount of hours I have

If i put my 2k hours into controller rather than kbm

Are u ssl on kbm

Or close to it

So how is it false

Yes there are. But how many

💀 bro what

Maybe at plat but like high champ kbm i’m like d3 on controller

The ratio to kbm to controller for ssl is insane

Stop tryna defend it lol

You literally use more muscles in ur hands to play kbm?

[dusky fiber]

I also think the number of controller players is higher, but as i said, i can imagine this comes from previous experiences, if u already played on a controller before and have a feeling for it its easier to get into rocket league especially in the start, on kbm its very diffrent and unique thats why i would say its more hard, but once u played a while it doesnt matter that much i would say

[novel plinth]

Than u do controller

Not maybe lol

I’m kbm

Like c1-c2

Not with my hours nope

If I put in 2k hours on controller instead of kbm i think i’d be slightly better yea

did u even read what I said

I said if i swapped my 2k hours with controller instead of mouse & keyboard I would be slightly better . You use more muscles playing kbm than u do holding a controller

[hushed storm]

Any tips for hardstuck champ?

[solid crane]

Make sure you are rotating properly and are in the correct positions to respond to threaths and also working on the consistency of foundamentals never hurts.

[hushed storm]

I’m not really hardstuck, but I want tips

[humble crown]

whoever warned me for responding to hykes01 questions with “duo queue” needs a lesson in english

[errant dirge]

Which gamemode

Im d1 but maybe i can give u some tips

[humble crown]

aside from “duo queuing” which if youre not really hardstuck should work, id practice working on the wall and in corners, awkward touches, passing, rotating, flicking, more passing, recoveries, and generally smooth out your gameplay

in other words “be faster”

[errant dirge]

Never

Forget

Defense

[humble crown]

everyones a pro defender until the ball hits a corner

[errant dirge]

Pro defender?

Up to plat aint nobody can save a basic shadow defense

[humble crown]

its a joke

about corner reads

[errant dirge]

Oh bruh now i get it

[humble crown]

lol

[errant dirge]

Aztral pinch go vroom vroom

Im d1 so i dont worry bout good pinches

I just hide in net

[humble crown]

net is comfy

net is safe

[onyx jackal]

exactly

[thin verge]

Soo for speedflip kick offs in 1s, if I'm at the center position I usually hold Powerslide until I hit the ball, which makes it easier to correct my position - someone told me that makes me slower/fucks up the kick-off? Is that true?

Also I noticed for the central position if I do a speedflip kick-off it's most likely vs. other positions to get kick-off goaled on. Is there like a trick for the center position?

What are good flicks to learn as a diamond/ champ player

[onyx jackal]

side flip flick

[next lantern]

i can do that already

[onyx jackal]

I mean I lowkey think sideflip and front flip flicks are enough for diamond

[lilac whale]

as a gc 2/3 player, they are good always

[onyx jackal]

Almost forgot the 45 degree flick

[onyx jackal]

Anything that has good power and placement can always land in the net

[lilac whale]

i highly recommend you never hold powerslide, using your throttle does the same thing excecpt you can't accidently turn. If your initial speedflip is good enough there should be no "i need to adjust my cars position before touching the ball on kickoff". I don't know a trick but just practice getting faster.

[onyx jackal]

also learn 45 degree flicks and maybe fake flicks

[lilac whale]

wrong actually, flicks at a higher level are rarely used to score ever. They are used to apply pressure.

also the correct order for shooting must be

1. speed
2. power
3. accuracy

it's good to train this way because you can't get power without speed and you don't want lackluster power before being accurate.

[rotund cloak]

dm me if you need help ranking up with tips!

[onyx jackal]

I thought power includes speed

[next lantern]

can do the 45 flick already i think im gonna train this fake flick

[onyx jackal]

What's the most consistent way of scoring in the upper levels?

[onyx jackal]

Aight good luck

[lilac whale]

1. gather ball
2. apply pressure with it
3. then you eventually score when the defense is for all intents and purposes screwed

i flick in my 2s/3s games but I never ever mean to score with it

i always flick it high and fast at their backboard

that applies the most pressure, if we're talking flicks

[onyx jackal]

in the lower ranks below champ it should always work tho right?

[lilac whale]

other ways to create pressure on the other teams defense:
keep ball close to you
take 50/50s in their half
never double jump unless you know you can score/pass really well

[onyx jackal]

Just wait till they're a bit lost and suprise them then

[lilac whale]

promise you the games a lot easier the way I just described it (obviously the game isn't easy, but you can use effective tactics and strategy to make it more simple for you and your team)

[onyx jackal]

Thank you for the help

[errant dirge]

Does someone have a training pack with some hard saves

I wanna get vetter in defense

Cant use custom maps because console

[onyx jackal]

Shadow defense for beginners you'll find it in the featured or the browse section

[errant dirge]

Cant find it

[cold locust]

There's nothing we can do

[lilac whale]

oh yes i do, you have time to talk to me about it

[onyx jackal]

They're gone

[errant dirge]

Wdym talk

Dc call or what

[lilac whale]

dc call yeah, it needs further explanation than just a training pack code

[errant dirge]

Why that

[lilac whale]

up to you, I'm willing to help if you'd like, just dm me 🙂

[onyx jackal]

There's alot to talk about with saves

[lilac whale]

^^

[onyx jackal]

yo @lilac whale could you explain to me how fakes work

[hushed storm]

2s

[errant dirge]

Defense

Btw my d1 mate is trying rn to learn a musty off a wall 😭

[onyx jackal]

If he's having fun so what

[errant dirge]

He cant defend well

Only cuz im mostly i the net so he thinks he doesnt need to train defense

[lilac whale]

in what context? 1v1? team modes? reading fakes? creating fakes? playing off of teammates fakes? aerial fakes? ground fakes?

[onyx jackal]

1v1 fakes

[lilac whale]

fake challenges? or fake shot attempts/faking the defender out?

you need to be a lot more specific if you can

[onyx jackal]

Faking the defender out

[errant dirge]

Stop driving when ur enemy tries to prejump a shot

[lilac whale]

i mean it's all situational but i wouldnt rely on faking, it's a once in a while thing to throw your opponent off. You have to be adapting to your opponents at all time. If they challenge you fast and jump often then sure fake more

there's no one guide on it

[errant dirge]

What are the basic mechanics u need for 2s

[onyx jackal]

like what's the key thing that makes ur opponent think he's gonna shoot there I'm gonna pre flip there

[onyx jackal]

Speed flip fast aerial wave dash half flip

[errant dirge]

Ok

The thing that pisses me of is that my mate cant even consistently air dribble but is tryig to do flip resets and mustys (we both d1)

[onyx jackal]

Duo or solo queue tm8

[errant dirge]

Duo

[onyx jackal]

I mean if he keeps trying to flip reset and musty one day he'll get it and be able to get out of diamond smoothly

[thin verge]

So I just hold Powerslide shortly before landing and let go soon after I land? And learn to countersteer consistently before the speedflip so I land the right direction without needing to correct my position?

[near jackal]

i am getting wordse and worse anyone help me

[opal geyser]

just keep training things u know and try to do them perfectly once u do it good enough u can go to another mechanic

keep training

[near jackal]

i do for months nothing improvement

nin game it wont work out

[opal geyser]

just keep practicing

i will

[near jackal]

i fo but nothing works

[hushed storm]

#looking-for-group

[opal geyser]

u down ?

[near jackal]

getting slower and slower

[opal geyser]

keep practice or ask someone high rank to help you

[near jackal]

find nobody and i keep but i feel like i do it for mùonths and nithing is better

[west bone]

Rank?

[near jackal]

dia2

[west bone]

What are you struggling wit?

[near jackal]

consitency positions defence mostly. beceome slower and slower

and why can every one i come against flip reset

[west bone]

Do you play 1s?

[near jackal]

no

[west bone]

That’s the problem

[near jackal]

in one i lose always

always

howww i become soo badd

worse and worse nit learning from mistakes missing in defence always. every day i am more terrible then before

howw

[left storm]

Probably because u panic a lot

[hushed storm]

Does anyone know how to make my gameplay smoother ps5

[left storm]

U need to practice and become more comfortable so u stop panicking and start outplaying people

[hushed storm]

👍

And does it have something to do with the settings?

[near jackal]

howw i preactice every day

[left storm]

You don’t practice effectively

[clear quiver]

Depends on what you practise

[hushed storm]

What’s ur rank

[near jackal]

what?

[near jackal]

die 2

[left storm]

@hushed storm check dms

Practice important things. Don’t just queue 2s and blame team mates, play 1s and watch your replays when u lose or win and see what u did right or wrong and practice those situations

[hushed storm]

👍

[left storm]

And the things you learn in 1s will transfer to 2s

[hushed storm]

That’s right

[fair plover]

im dog

[near jackal]

i never blame the tm i wéartch replays but i dont lmearn from it thats why i dont become bette rin 1s

[left storm]

If you don’t know what your doing wrong or how to analyse your replay effectively then get on YouTube and watch tutorials and get a understanding of the game

[fair plover]

just practice

[near jackal]

but i already do that

[fair plover]

do it in 1s

[near jackal]

i dont do 1s cause my positioning suck i dont learn from the mistakes in that

[hushed storm]

Practice rotations, power shots, boost management and, mechanics (not the flashy ones)

[left storm]

Your position sucks there you go

Problem identified

[hushed storm]

😅

😂

[near jackal]

i dont try flashi i try train on oser sht and ground dribbles every day

[left storm]

Watch flakes play 1s

[near jackal]

i already knew but idk how to fix

[hushed storm]

Then rotations

[left storm]

Just watch flakes 1v1 to ssl
