[vivid parcel]

how

[charred oak]

score

more than opponent

[vivid parcel]

bruh

[cyan sage]

It is tho

I just ballchase and I win

[stone lichen]

bros def hardstuck gc1

[cyan sage]

Gc2

[stone lichen]

makes sense

[cyan sage]

Real

I gotta ballchase harder for that gc3

[stone lichen]

fr

especially when tm8 is already up

[cyan sage]

Im up before him

[slow gazelle]

could anyone help my get better in 1s?

[faint sail]

Savage!

[cyan sage]

Play more matches

Like seriously I went to from d1 to d3 in 1s by just playing 200 matches

[harsh copper]

Fun fact,

If you are reaching for GC, do these things;

1. Start watching your own replays from your teammates perspective

2. Start hard focusing on your ground plays 60% of the time & the 40% can be air game

3. Humble yourself & never blame your teammate (YES, ITS YOUR FAULT IF THEY MISS OPEN NET, OR MISS A SAVE) - You probably didn't pass the ball well enough, or left them in a bad spot. Yet I know this is the most controversial point here, so if you want me to debunk it, I am happy to do so anytime 🙂

4. Stop focusing on unnecessaries mechs (like flip resets, pinches, chain dashing, etc...) Focus on the basics & awareness

5. Understand awareness is just as (if not more important) than mechanics. You should be able to know (how much boost your teammate has, where they are on the field, if they are rotating back, what their strengths are, what their weaknesses are, etc.

I have no doubt in my mind if those of you who are really wanting to push into the GC ranks, if you implement these strategies, you can get there. Now you all just have to put in the work

[tepid dew]

how can i hit better flip resets i always feel like i’m in a bad spot or just can’t hit the ball after i get it

well kinda asking for a reason

well i i don’t think i’m hitting the right spot and i don’t really know how becysee if i got to hard i just bounce off the ball

hitting the right spot

[ancient finch]

u got any clips?

[tepid dew]

not any i can send i’m on xbox

try

[ancient finch]

its gonna be hard to help you without seeing what ur doing wrong

[tepid dew]

i thought there was no wrong answers

practice…

so it’s bingo not practice

[ancient finch]

but knowing some things thast he can work on will definitly help him improve faster

[tepid dew]

than why’d you respond

you said you weren’t here to coach

[signal lintel]

Good list, but no most teammates mistakes aren't your fault. Taking it to the opposite extreme like this isn't going to help people. You could say something like "consider how your actions contribute to teammates making the wrong/bad decisions"

[mortal quail]

Hes trolling, just ignore him

Don't need context

Anytime I see someone complaining about you, I know your trolling

[cyan sage]

He never even trolls

[mortal quail]

You just contradicted him
Good job

[cyan sage]

Nah, he just dont know what trolling is

[fossil plaza]

anyone know if this season is harder or have i just not been able to keep up with everyone else's improvements? im 1500 rn and last season and the season before i was 1600

[paper wigeon]

Prob just in a bit of a rut. If I'm honest though I played this season just to get my rewards and then uninstalled so.

[cyan sage]

It’s ever so slightly harder, but it doesnt really have that big of an impact tbh

End of season will always have more mmr in the pool than start of season

[harsh copper]

We can agree to disagree

[cyan sage]

No he’s right, you’re wrong, you dont need most of that

[harsh copper]

Many ways to get to the end results of GC, but most people cant get their because of their awareness. I guess I shouldve prefaced with, (if you only solo queue)

[cyan sage]

It might help some people, but none of it is needed

[harsh copper]

Again, can agree to disagree with you

[cyan sage]

I only soloq, i also only ballchase and boom the ball, im also gc

[cyan sage]

No, you cant, if i said “most of that doesnt help” you could, but if i say it’s not needed, you cant, bc it’s literally not needed

You yourself just said many ways to get to gc

[harsh copper]

Not tryin fight with ya man, xD

[harsh copper]

That I did, and I can commend your efforts as well

not many can just ball chase and win

But just as you can have an opinion that none of that matters, I can have one where it does

[cyan sage]

It matters, it just isnt needed

[harsh copper]

you trying to convince me otherwise is just gonna lead to a pissing match, which isnt needed 🙂

[cyan sage]

Thats not an opinion, it’s a fact 💀

[harsh copper]

again, we can agree to dissagree

[cyan sage]

Disagree on a fact is crazy

[harsh copper]

In your world, sure xD

[cyan sage]

Its your world too?

So you’re saying every gc has watched their replays back, stayed humble, stayed majority ground game, etc?

[harsh copper]

Dont put words in my statements

Does it say that? No

Does it help, Yes

Do you need it no?

[cyan sage]

So you’re just agreeing with me

[harsh copper]

Will some people find it helpful? Yes

[cyan sage]

This is what i said

Not needed, but it might help some people, thats what you disagreed on

[harsh copper]

Ur trying to validate that none of that is needed to reach the rank, to which for some people sure thats true. For those who are stuck in a rut, and legit hardstuck, implementing those things can in fact help them

[cyan sage]

There are many things that can help people

Most people just dont play enough to be consistent enough for gc, which isnt that consistent anyway

[harsh copper]

and the list above are those statements 🙂

lmao

[cyan sage]

I’d disagree on the stay humble, and focusing on ground play more

Mainly the “yes it’s your fault if tm8 misses a save”

[midnight nova]

hey everyone i hope you are all okay

whats your problem?

[harsh copper]

Better phrased for sure, some people just need to hear the hard version to actually listen xD

[cyan sage]

Ah yes, parz better coach

[harsh copper]

Again, I can disagree with you there, but you can counter it xD

[cyan sage]

I’d say just focus on overall consistency, aerial plays work really well too, using 100 boost to get the ball into opponents corner is obv bad, but being in the air isnt worse or better than being on the floor

In reference to 2s btw, 1s i say just stay on the floor 90% of the time

[harsh copper]

I mean, sure, but an airdribble play alone is more predictable.

If you are flying with the ball in a path of motion, someone can predict that path.

If you have the ball on the ground, and have space to create a ground play, they have no clue when you will flick the ball. That unprediction leads to more panic, and can lead to a higher chance of the ball going in

[harsh copper]

Agreed

Creating 1v1 situations are the idea

1v1 from the air to a defender on a wall to airdribble is an ez block

1v1 ground play is much harder if you have the mechs

[cyan sage]

Air dribble bumps are good, i’d also classify ground to air dribble as an air play, you can usually delay a flick with them too, booming backboard for a double is also good, dropping an air dribble to get past works too

I pity you

[harsh copper]

Whats easier to master tho? Air dribble bumps, ground to airdribbles? Or just learning how to take a powershot with good accuracy?

[mortal quail]

Powershot

[cyan sage]

For most players, the latter

[harsh copper]

welcome in 🔥

[harsh copper]

Hence my reasoning

[cyan sage]

??

Taking a powershot with good accuracy is harder to learn than an air dribble

[harsh copper]

I missunderstood your comment

[cyan sage]

Figured

[harsh copper]

Again, at this point we are just kinda going back in forth with the same end goal in mind

everything could be debated

[cyan sage]

Problem with powershots is you need to know how your car works, where to hit, how to air roll properly, timings, etc, air dribbles have less individual parts

[cyan sage]

Thats the plan, i’ve got an hour to waste

[harsh copper]

But having this in your arsenal is better in my opinion than to just have an airdribble play for a 1v1

Spending the time to improve that ground game will have a higher payoff in the long run

[cyan sage]

In a 1v1 i’d agree, im more referencing 2s though

[cyan sage]

The end goal is gc, i assumed gc1

[harsh copper]

Its still needed in 2s just as much

[cyan sage]

1435 to be exact, just enough to get rewards

[harsh copper]

Can take you further if you are consistently playing ranked

[cyan sage]

Thought the goal was gc1 specifically, and even then, powershots and placement will only take you so far

[paper wigeon]

I mean honestly I've yet to see the 0 ground play challenge so we dont know what'll get you further

[harsh copper]

I think you are taking my notes a little too litterally xD

[paper wigeon]

Maybe some maniac can get further using only aerial plays

[cyan sage]

Im taking them as they’re written

[harsh copper]

Fair enough

[paper wigeon]

Only one way to find out, wheres Flakes when you need him

[cyan sage]

Ssl freestylers got that

[harsh copper]

Let me get quite methodical

[cyan sage]

Nah, put spookluke on that challenge

[cyan sage]

Feel free

[paper wigeon]

Bet, where his dms bruh

[cyan sage]

Idk, he’s prob off teaching champs to ground to air dribble

[harsh copper]

gorund plays vs airplays?

[cyan sage]

Yes

[paper wigeon]

Huge F

[harsh copper]

Pretty sure spook states ground plays in prior tiktoks

but his opinion as on today, couldnt tell ya

[cyan sage]

Spookluke says a lot of shit and contradicts it later 😭

[harsh copper]

Also facts

[cyan sage]

I believe he has a tiktok stating champs should air dribble, and a later post saying champs need to know to ground to air dribble

[harsh copper]

I come from a background of coaching hardstuck Champs who focused on freestyling first

Cause everyone wants to hit clips first, then get ranked after

Thats where a lot of my reasoning stems

[cyan sage]

Coach @mortal quail , he has no mechs or gamesense

[paper wigeon]

lmfao we taking shots now

[cyan sage]

He peaked 1500 via sitting in net and clearing the ball tho, so ig you can get to gc with anything really

[cyan sage]

My fault, bro caught a stray

[mortal quail]

Actually not true
The majority of the time Champs tend to be hardstuck so they spend hundreds of hours learning mechs. They still end up being hardstuck so they switch to freestyling to cope

[harsh copper]

Focusing defence and positioning will get you there more often then you think LUL

[mortal quail]

And you do?

[cyan sage]

I think you misunderstand, he sat in net

[harsh copper]

Thats the other half xD

[cyan sage]

There was no rotations, he was a goalie

[harsh copper]

💀

[cyan sage]

No, i just ballchase

Wb @cyan sage

[harsh copper]

LMAO

[mortal quail]

Hes heavily exaggerating

[cyan sage]

Quite literally sat on the goal line clearing corner and watching his tm8 come to pick the ball up

[harsh copper]

Im sure

[cyan sage]

I wish, i saw your games 😭

[harsh copper]

@cyan sage does

🙂

[mortal quail]

I sat defense, not net
Huge difference

Making it sound like I did nothing but sit on net

[cyan sage]

Queue with me, we’ll be unironically diamond in no time bc you cant rotate

[paper wigeon]

Based strat, why play when you can do ther shit and still win

[cyan sage]

You didnt

[cyan sage]

Tbf, i hit champ 1 playing backwards

[harsh copper]

Think you might be a little dramatic atm xD

[paper wigeon]

Fair, have you heard of my latest invention, Wide League?

[cyan sage]

Nope

[harsh copper]

do tell

[cyan sage]

Most people in here know eachother, this chat is dead asl aside from like 6 people

[sonic pendant]

I need help

[paper wigeon]

You uh, go into graphics driver, set your screen so it's in portrait aspect ratio and stretch it across the whole screen

[cyan sage]

💀

[paper wigeon]

So basically it's wide asf

[cyan sage]

With

[sonic pendant]

how to get better

[paper wigeon]

And you can't see fuck all cause the ball looks like a pancake

[harsh copper]

makes sense

[cyan sage]

Play 8 hours a day

[harsh copper]

Im the newbie xD

[cyan sage]

I’d rather play 60fov

[cyan sage]

Welcome in, you’ll see “new” people here, but in reality it’s just the same 3 people getting banned and coming back

[paper wigeon]

Its actually like 30fov cause of the aspect ratio

[harsh copper]

😭

[cyan sage]

60fov, -3 angle, 400 dist

[harsh copper]

The ironic "age dox"

[paper wigeon]

Wait maybe I have ss 1 sec

[cyan sage]

More like we get side tracked and use this as general chat, and the mods dont like that

[harsh copper]

Well back to coaching then xD

[cyan sage]

True true

Are Gengar’s settings viable @mortal quail

400 dist, 200 height, -15 angle

[mortal quail]

Only for certain players

[umbral crag]

110 370 170 -7 .3 stiff

[cyan sage]

Now THOSE, are some good settings

[distant wolf]

distance 250, height 100

[distant horizon]

How do you speed flip without having to readjust mid air

If you can

[distant wolf]

generally readjusting is needed but it is consistent input every time

[distant horizon]

Ok

[kindred trail]

Ok.. I’m looking for a player on EU who can kick my friends ass.. and humble him.

[distant wolf]

straight line speed flip : https://imgur.com/a/ALgOSmo

speed flip with initial turn (this is the preferred way): https://imgur.com/a/zeKzZMw

[kindred trail]

My friend is unbeatable… beaten frontal panda twice 7-5. He needs an ass whooping. Haha. Who dares?

[signal lintel]

How is this the preferred way, it's just doing the turn too early compared to the other clip lol

[distant wolf]

no. the delayed turn makes the speed flip more predictable and more smooth

(but it could make it more difficult to reproduce the same speed). I'm still not sure about that

I mean I have never done the other version. currently trying to reproduce it

[signal lintel]

Ya I see what you mean, but it's objectively a bit slower to turn earlier since your path is less of a straight line. Not enough to matter tho, both ways work in any situation where you have time to turn early

[distant wolf]

yes this is correct. I'm experimenting just because of curiosity. not much practical difference

also the boost direction seems to be more direct in the second version. that is one thing to consider

I mean the boost gives you the speed. it's not only about driving in direct line

[stray sierra]

I probably can’t do it, heck I just woke up a min ago but I sometimes have my charm against great players so if losin really badly is fine I can give it a try

[cedar patrol]

LF A coach I dropped so much and need to get back

[static solstice]

I need a coach

[cyan sage]

Rank?

[cyan sage]

Rank?

[static solstice]

d1

[atomic bear]

anyone have settings for ps4

[indigo solstice]

Who wanna train me in RL I’ve played 2 matches and I’m dog

[fast carbon]

random diamond mates are insane

[marsh jungle]

reply with tips on how to get to gc

[tepid dew]

how do i flip after i get the first reset for a double reset i keep flipping to the side too much

[crystal cliff]

practice and timing

[tepid dew]

it’s a diagonal flip cancel right

[crystal cliff]

im not telling him a whole paragraph when its literally practice

L

[slender leaf]

Lol

[crystal cliff]

depends where your cars facing

[signal lintel]

@marsh jungle here's some

[hardy cedar]

im a pc player who can aerial consistantly and dribble(not air dribble) should i consider switching to a controller or should i just push through with kbm

[crystal cliff]

depends how comfortable you are and if you are new or not otc

id say if you have less then 500 hours it would be beneficial to switch to controller and learn it

since you would somewhat have gamesense it would be quick and easy

@hardy cedar dm me

[frozen scroll]

Its the speed flip flip or u can front flip cancel and and then drag joystick over and tap air role if u are to far bellow

But get flip a bit on angel then speed flip into it

[blissful root]

I’m plat 1 and just got back into the game and whenever I try and go for an aerial my car never goes where I want it to go can someone give me some tips please

[cyan sage]

I'd say just push through with keyboard, it's not really that big of a difference unless you're aiming to hit the absolute peak of rocket league

plus mechs are easier with keyboard

[restive blaze]

Is there anyone willing to help me reach Diamond 2?

I've got several Diamond-ranked friends I regularly game with, and I can hold my own in their matches. However, I'm having trouble climbing out of Platinum 3.

When I'm in Diamond matches, I can truly show my skills.

Last season, I began my Rocket League journey and managed to reach Diamond 1 Division 4. This was primarily because I devoted a lot of time to training, practicing with training packs, and learning from YouTube tutorials.

This season, my aim is to attain Diamond 2, or even make it to Diamond 3. Although I may not be fully prepared for the competitiveness of Diamond 3 lobbies, as it's quite close to the Champion tier.

[silk turret]

So I'm kbm and my biggest weakness if my ability to get consistent accurate shots

I use cocos aim training, but I feel like kbm is way harder to shot with air roll

any tips to get better?

[visual yarrow]

my peak was d2 and im plat 2 can someone just lead me the right way to win alot of matches and just tips in genreal?

[weak star]

Can someone pls teach me how to flip reset I'm diamond 1 and I can almost do it

[cyan sage]

💀

[silk turret]

start thinking aha

[cyan sage]

play more often

[chilly lintel]

I just hit Plat on 2s what should I work on? I can rotate, fast aerial, I have good ground control, okay consistency and I’m okay at wall play and good at wall shots

[silk turret]

focus on rotations even more

if you plat and you say you can rotate, you 100% cannot

fast aerialing isn't just double jumping, its an actual mechanic, not just pressing jump rlly fast twice. learn to half flip, it'll save you.

[chilly lintel]

Yea I can half flip

[silk turret]

if you can dribble the ball for a minute or all the way around the map twice you have good ball control

if you can maintain supersonic in freeplay without boost and not staying only on the gorund you have good car control

[cyan sage]

you either dont play at all, or cant do any of that

[silk turret]

if you can successfully complete the diamond and plat given training pack by psyonix wihtout messing up you are good at accuracy

and then, this is all for plats

[cyan sage]

training packs suck imo

[silk turret]

do it first try

no resets, then tell me otherwise

doesnt have to be first try

just do 100% complete without a single reset

[chilly lintel]

Appreciate it man, I’ll do that

[silk turret]

if you wanna get good, you have to grind

[crystal cliff]

dont listen to gamer

[silk turret]

its like any other game, just a little differtnt in how you grind

[cyan sage]

Just work on overall gamesense and rotations more, really all you need to hit champ

[silk turret]

false

[cyan sage]

Thats literally true 😭

[silk turret]

complete bs

[crystal cliff]

he tells people to boom the ball

and that doing that got him top 0.5%

[silk turret]

having good gamesense and rotations doesn't mean you can score

[cyan sage]

top .2%*

[silk turret]

it doesn't mean you can have the speed to beat your opponenents

[crystal cliff]

hes diamond 2

ignore him

[cyan sage]

or so you think

[silk turret]

alr i ignored him

[cyan sage]

you dont need speed, not at plat, you can just play slow

[crystal cliff]

ive got him blocked

[cyan sage]

💀

[crystal cliff]

its so hard to teach people when he spams the wrong thing

[vernal reef]

I need a coach because I'm bad at the game

[crystal cliff]

u been asking that for months my guy

couldve improved with time by now

[vernal reef]

not a month

[vernal reef]

I'm still stuck in silver

[cyan sage]

Just have to play more, work on overall consistency and just basic gamesense, dont double commit with tm8

[vernal reef]

Thanks

I'm just learning other mechanics

Like air dribbles ground dribbles ground pinch wall pinch ceiling shots shadow defense directional air roll(right air roll) And other

[silk turret]

franco if you are stuck in silver, you obvi are just here to have fun

[vernal reef]

oh yeah and flip resets

[crystal cliff]

stop learning pinches and flip resets

[vernal reef]

so the other mechanics are ok?

[crystal cliff]

yes

piches you can practice but dont need to learn at all

[vernal reef]

But aren't flip rights useful?

[crystal cliff]

not in silver

in like c2+ they are

[vernal reef]

Ok

[crystal cliff]

obv theyre good for any rank

but if u cant do basics dont try them

its more so when defenders are too good for normal shots you have to use flip resets to get the ball around them

[vernal reef]

Any tips on directional air roll?

[crystal cliff]

practice

rings maps, freeplay, etc

[vernal reef]

Best way to practice?

[crystal cliff]

fly around

[vernal reef]

K

[crystal cliff]

try to keep your car straight

try to control going left and right

without over turning and losing control

air roll should only be used to correct or turn your car

when youre flying straight you dont need to use it

[vernal reef]

Ok

Thanks you the best coach

[vernal reef]

When should I learn to use directional air roll while air dribbling?

[crystal cliff]

whenever

just dont get in the habit of always holding it down

[vernal reef]

Oh ok

Thanks 👍

[crystal cliff]

np

are you pc?

[vernal reef]

Nah switch

[crystal cliff]

oh okay

well you are at a big disadvantage on switch so you arent gonna play like a pro

but you can still improve

[vernal reef]

Oh ok

[crystal cliff]

just dont look at pros and try to be like them

learn from them, dont copy

[vernal reef]

I inspire to be this one guy u met in comp that's silver and can do a double reset musty for some reason he let me win because he had a big advantage

[crystal cliff]

wanting to do stuff like that is fine but it takes time

you have to learn basics first

[vernal reef]

His name's was GlizyGoblrrr

[crystal cliff]

id say thats like level 12 and you might be like level 4 mechanics

[cyan sage]

tf

bro put levels on mechs, this is wild

[crystal cliff]

yeah i wouldnt understand either when all u do is complain in this chat

[vernal reef]

Man I literally lost my game

I just want to be diamond

I'm literally going to be bronze

I need a coach fr

[gritty laurel]

I've been trying to aerial dribble and I notice that I do it way better without ball cam on. is it better if I have it on or off?

[vernal reef]

Idk

[crystal cliff]

on

[cyan sage]

either one works, I swap between both, depends how the camera looks, though i will say majority of the time i have it on

[terse lantern]

I have a friend who was gc for like 4 seasons before he knew he could double jump. Gamesense and rotations>everything else

[thick galleon]

yh gc is not that hard to get. mechanics is not needed tbh, just fast recoveries and gamesense is all you need

[cyan sage]

you can also just boom the ball and ballchase to gc

you can get gc if you're good enough at a few things that matter

[dark bay]

Any tips for a diamond

2v2s

[lilac whale]

listen to this guy, he's right

[lilac whale]

do not listen to this guys, he doesn't know how to offer good advice

[cyan sage]

giving away possession is definitely a way to get gc yeah

100%

[noble sphinx]

anyone availabe to coach me

[weak star]

Is coaching free?

[crystal cliff]

depends

[warm narwhal]

can someone pls help me learn air dribble

pls

[north turtle]

what rank are you

[warm narwhal]

plat 2

and i have a coach alr

sorry

[north turtle]

DM for free coaching pc only. Diamonds and Champs only (if youre lower I can help later).

[distant horizon]

Huh

Why

[cyan sage]

I dmed 👍

[crystal cliff]

every clip you post is you smurfing, you dont play like a gc2. id recommend grinding to maybe hit gc

then stop smurfing

maybe you would play like a actual gc!

then dont post ur clips that arent even good from 1000 elo lobbies to the discord!

?

im pointing out your attention seeking if you wanna put it like that

mhm

[uneven forum]

To give u an honest perspective here g, the grind is only worth it if it's fun to u, if u honestly enjoy doing it then great grind away, if not focus on a new thing that gives u enjoyment, maybe it's a dumb mechanic that challenges u, maybe it's just playing some PMs with ur buddies.

[trail patrol]

I'm gold 2

And goated

[twin ruin]

Where Can i find some gold players to play with ?

[trail patrol]

In gold

[uneven forum]

This right here is the polar opposite of what a good coach should tell anyone. U give information and encouragement, not slap them down for any clip they may enjoy or possible progress for them

[twin ruin]

Like in this server

Thats ok

[trail patrol]

The name is 69420

The password is 42069

[bronze hatch]

Yo can i join

[crystal cliff]

hes claiming to be gc2 and posting clips from a smurf account

[uneven forum]

Ok, and why are u attacking the man for posting clips?

Also while we're at it why did u attack that guy for his double tap earlier as well?

[wraith rose]

can i get help with my gameplay, i could use a coach

[long oxide]

let it be man, every1 caps abt their rank in here😘

i mean c3 isnt that bnad

wait what happen

[crystal cliff]

lol what

im not gc2 bc my region is trash at anything above gc1

theres like the same 8 people every day

[north turtle]

f

[crystal cliff]

i havent?

i was 1590 a week ago

[trail patrol]

I hit airdribble as gold

[crystal cliff]

then dropped with my friend

last season i was 1678

lol

lol x2

[north turtle]

tbf rl tracker (if youre using that) is kinda broken

other seasons or peak mmrs it gets wrong all the time

[crystal cliff]

it literally had my peak rank under my avg

tracker is terrible

[north turtle]

yeah one of my friends peak mmr is lower that what he has been on for months

[crystal cliff]

yeah and everyone checks them and calls you fake

like this guy lol

[north turtle]

current mmr is the only thing that works on that

[crystal cliff]

yeah

i play while my gf is sleeping

i got my rewards

why even try after that

?

cause i played with my c3 friend

i got rewards in 80 games

[north turtle]

300 matches isnt that much... ive got 124 and ive played ranked on 4 or 5 different days

[crystal cliff]

yeah lol

i used to play like 700 games a season on r6

300 5-8 min games is nothing

i dont clip fast aerials?

and ive peaked above you lol

dk why ur saying that

[hushed coyote]

so i learned how to speed flip and can time it almost perfectly the only problem is im missing the ball. im a kbm player. any tips?

[north turtle]

dont flex on peaks cringe

[crystal cliff]

air roll im guessing

[crystal cliff]

youre probably landing wrong

[north turtle]

especially with divisions

[cyan sage]

🍿

[crystal cliff]

hold air roll before you land to straighten your car

[hushed coyote]

ok ill try that

[crystal cliff]

air roll the direction you flipped

and maybe powerslide too

[crystal cliff]

if you still cant do it dm me and send me a clip

[uneven forum]

A little late but I agree, RL tracker network is very not reliable. It's missing my entire first season of RL lol

[cyan sage]

it only updates when someone opens ur tracker. some ppl say it does automatically but it doesnt

[uneven forum]

Ye, fr

[north turtle]

it doesnt update when someone opens it

[trail patrol]

Guys I'm plat 1 peak

No cap

[north turtle]

Ive checked other peoples accounts and you can clearly see that they are higher than their peak

and have been for a long time

[cyan sage]

oh yea the peak thing is broken but im talking past ranks

if u go from 1300 - 1400 - 1300 and no one opens ur tracker in between it’ll show you never left 1300

[north turtle]

oh ok

i think thats true

has happened to me and that might be why my peak is broken

but idk

[sharp karma]

If I play rings maps, will it help me?

[north turtle]

yes but not that much

[long oxide]

@crystal cliff isnt ur peak 1540

[cyan sage]

just boom on net

[cyan sage]

1507*

https://rocketleague.tracker.network/rocket-league/profile/epic/vlenkz./overview here's his tracker rn

c3 div 2, bro cant ballchase properly, unlucky

300 games for c3 is diabolical

[crystal cliff]

1690

[cyan sage]

bro chose to lie 💀

I hope, dropping 350 mmr unironically is just tragic

[long oxide]

i love you bro but 1690 is js cap

[crystal cliff]

[cobalt junco]

Who can be my coach? I'm gold 1 div 3

[trail patrol]

Who can be my coach? I'm gold 2 div 1

[mortal quail]

Wait, is that his actual account tho

[cyan sage]

yes, he had it linked before

[crystal cliff]

i never had it linked

also thats my epic acc i play on steam

[long oxide]

steam acc says 1515, 8 mmr difference

[cyan sage]

Its not as easy as that

[cyan sage]

Thats all i do

and it works

If you boom it on net they will save it and get a free ball

dont boom it at them then

boom it around them

[rich plinth]

Hello

Any tips for a plat 2

[neon bay]

use more airrol in shots learn basic dribbles and saves

[wraith rose]

hello. im looking for a coach if possible. i am gold :)

[rich plinth]

Thanks any training packs that I can use this for

[icy iron]

ok so i learned after 3MONTHS OF DOING MY SPEED FLIP i was meant to use air roll left and not normal air roll but i have small thumbs amd air roll leaft is on cricle what do i do

[neon bay]

yes let me see

[rich plinth]

Thanka

[dusky fiber]

there are prob diffrent ways but actually i dont rlly need air roll with speed flips, just at the end t do tiny corrections to land good

u have some clips u could send me?

whenever u have time send me some air dribble tries of u, i will let u know what the issue is

[neon bay]

84D2-072D-80CF-7D0D for airrol shots 776F-E2BB-2993-78D7 for saves (yes i know its a diamond saves pack but if u learn these saves you'll be unstoppable) and 9863-6D3C-af72-A7E3 for dribbles

[rich plinth]

Thank you so much

[neon bay]

no problem if u ever need any tips just dm me

[shell sage]

hey any tips for silver 3?

[icy iron]

look up good camera setting copy them exaclty and go in freeplay and hit the ball on target over and ovver again there you go

[shell sage]

oh i got it

[timber vigil]

How do I get better in hoops? I’m gc1 in 2s yet I can’t score to save my life with that stupid rim and I’m currently diamond 1 🙃

[shell sage]

have some good training maps?

(for me)

[icy iron]

if you look in fetured theres one called like sliver training pack if you scroll down there 1 for every rank there

[shell sage]

oh i got it

thanks!

[slow frigate]

In need of coaching

like im unsure as to what i should focus on

im diamond btw

[signal lintel]

You can use normal air roll for speedflips, you don't need to use directional. It is probably more simple with directional tho

[dusky fiber]

for defense try and get better with the backboard, usually u can save most things there, for offense try and get better with shooting it directly in the hoop or going up the wall shooting it directly into it, if u boom it against the backboard of them its usually easier to safe it for them, in general: try and use the walls more, the field is smaller so u can get good shots this way no need to angle it crazy, play faster its not like in normal 2s that u have much time

[worthy lava]

Ground play fastest way to rank up

45° flicks learn them

[slow frigate]

so then dribbles and flicks

anyway i can learn how to do those

[hasty solstice]

Hey guys

[shell sage]

hi

[hasty solstice]

Would you like to play games with me

[shell sage]

yep

whats your rank

[hasty solstice]

Iam noob new player

I guees that's no right

[trail patrol]

I can airdribble and ceiling shot as gold

Nearly flip reset

[rich plinth]

@neon bay I've went from plat 2 to plat 3 already

[slow frigate]

i can only like double tap consistenly and i can get the flip reset but can't use it properly

yea i can't finish

[neon bay]

Same

[dusky fiber]

air dribble is not the most important thing, with a good game sense its fine

[slow frigate]

mmm ok ok

[neon bay]

I can get flip but just can't use it properly

[slow frigate]

yea same

[halcyon quail]

Im plat 1 and i ball chase i dont know when to go and when to defend

[dusky fiber]

[dusky fiber]

look more around u, the decisions are made for u then, try not too focus 100% on the ball

[neon bay]

I'm good at dribbling but idk if I can teach you

[dusky fiber]

ground dribbling or in air?

[slow frigate]

[slow frigate]

anything helps man

[dusky fiber]

i can hop in a call with u 2 and we can look over your mechs if u want

my steam cloud is out of sync help?

[trail patrol]

I have video in game

[paper wolf]

Just click sync and it should ask if you want a cloud sync or a local sync then click cloud

[tulip island]

no working......

[paper wolf]

Are you having other people log onto your account?

[tulip island]

nope....

[paper wolf]

That's the main thing that bugs the hell out of cloud sync

Just click play and then play anyway

Should sync eventually

[tulip island]

then cant play online

[paper wolf]

Verify steam files?

[tulip island]

calL?

[paper wolf]

no.

[tulip island]

fml

[paper wolf]

Either restart your PC or force the sync

[tulip island]

bro you aint got a clue

[paper wolf]

Well my rl is syncing perfectly fine on steam

But it has happened to me so I do have a clue

[misty onyx]

can someone analyse a game for me?

i came to d3 at 130 hrs

and champ 1 at 300

champ 2*

and i feel like ive plateaued

help me [;s

can someone be my coach / friend

i have no money to pay you as i dont have a job

but i rly want help

[coral flax]

should i learn mechanics or stick to ranked?

[fluid bone]

who wants to play with me

@woeful raft Yes, but I'm new and I don't know how to play much. Try me

[dusky fiber]

depends what u lack in

[leaden cobalt]

Can anyone help me do air dribbles in game?

its really confusing, I can get the ball in the air, its just I cant get my car under is constantly.

my username is camrenad21

[flint flume]

Mechs is something nobody can teach you how to get better at, just practice doing it in free play with limited boost, or play cas to get it down better

[coral flax]

Ngl doing them in game is a bit harder and challenging but it teaches u faster

[flint flume]

mhm that's why I recommend to do cas

the free play with limited boost gives you a realistic feeling in terms of boost and setting it up yourself, which is usually the issue with most people is the setup, so free play or do cas

[silk turret]

Egg

[signal lintel]

Boost to get under the ball ASAP. If that isn't possible, you are doing the setup wrong

[austere lily]

Can anyone Give me some tips or some advice on what i should do atleast GC2+

[flint flume]

what mode?

[austere lily]

Comp 2s, 3s

[flint flume]

focus on learning proper rotation and when to cut, don't give the ball away and dont try to be flashy in 3s ever since you can't really do that, but you can in 2s. Also passing is something that isn't very common in gc so do that, and always trust your tm8's even in solo q. I could give you more specifics if I saw how you actually played, but off the top of my head that should get you through gc

[bitter sedge]

how to get to plat

[austere lily]

I appreciate it and yea pass plays are my favorite, i use Free AirRoll rn and ive peaked at GC1 Div 3 ive hit Gc a few other times i just dont know if i should try and switch to directinal to become more consistent than i am now. Im in a weird spot rn im just not sure what to do ngl

[flint flume]

In plat getting good shots and saves will make you stand out from the rest, learn the basics like car control, ball control, dribbles, flicks, and try to start learning how to aerial if you can't already, and break any bad habits you have like booming the ball and giving it away, possession is everything

[flint flume]

switch to directional

With free air roll you dont have the control that you could have with directional

[bitter sedge]

yea i keep possesion and i can flick, dribble, create chances, and shoot. I was in gold 2 div 4 once but got ranked down to silver 3 now because of randoms, and i cant get anybody to hop on so i can never communicate which is important, but since im in silver no-one even knows how to use quick chat

[austere lily]

I can use Directinal left on my X button but when i switch to my LB i cant do it and its very frustrating. I play Claw so its weird when i hold the controller. and i dont play with my drift being the same as my air roll button

[austere lily]

And if you ever get the chance and your free maybe we can run a cas and u can see how i play u said somthing ab not knowing how i play so i mean if not understandable

[flint flume]

In solo q everyone plays default everything bc of the fact of no coms, so if you can do that you're fine, but nobody in plat has all of those things down yet to a point where it's threatening, so im telling you if you get consistent you will blow through plat, maybe even diamond but im not sure

[wanton schooner]

Yeah consistency gets you to champ

[cyan sage]

Hey is it best to have a training routine to get better? What should be in it? Im tryna make one

[flint flume]

rank?

[austere lily]

For me Juan i always played training for like 40 min work on making yourself uncomfortable so you can get better and then you can carry yout team and wont have to worry just my opinion

[worthy lava]

As a champ indeed im consistently bad

[flint flume]

Im terrible at this game lol

[bitter sedge]

ok thanks, i think the thing holding me back is passing and rotations, last time i played a real twos match like a few weeks ago because no one is ever on, i could rotate amazing but could never get good passes

[wanton schooner]

As a guy one day being c2 the other d3 I am consistently shit

[flint flume]

we all consistently bad lol

[cyan sage]

Around diamond ish

[worthy lava]

Lmao same

Im currently sitting at like 1230 1 week ago i was at 1010

[wanton schooner]

Bro I aint know shit about that elo but that sounds bad

[worthy lava]

Im currently c2 1 week ago i was about low d3

[flint flume]

I would say for diamond to start practicing more difficult aerials. or do a rings map if you can for aerial control

[cyan sage]

Well they said be consistent and we made it

[worthy lava]

Also its not elo

[flint flume]

MMR

[worthy lava]

Yeah

[flint flume]

They are different terms that represent the same thing though

[wanton schooner]

My 3k hours in cs says elo, mb

[flint flume]

Man I wish I was diamond ngl

[cyan sage]

Yeah i was thinking that but also with, dribbling workshop map, aim training, freeplay

[cyan sage]

Haha why

[flint flume]

my lobbies are stressful thats why lmao

[austere lily]

Ive been playing rl since season 3 its now Season 12 and i cant get out gc 1 xD and C3

[worthy lava]

Whats ur rank

[austere lily]

I feel that Chanter 1 game they can be terrible then the next you be playing pros

[flint flume]

btw directional air roll will make you a lot better not only in the air but also in recoveries, flicks and just about anything else

[flint flume]

I actually do q pros though 💀

[cyan sage]

Hahah nah its the same here, but ofc diamond will be calm for you, what rank are you?

[flint flume]

ssl

[austere lily]

Its just hard going from being decent to dog water yk, and I also like going against pros so i can learn and see what they do XD

[worthy lava]

C2 More stressfull anyway

[flint flume]

NO

[cyan sage]

Oh sick bro, you got any other tips for diamond

[flint flume]

C2 is not stressful at all

[worthy lava]

I reckon if i got carried to ssl i would stay there imo

[flint flume]

it may hurt your brain bc everyone in the lobby could potentially jump and all miss lmao

[austere lily]

exactly!!

[sturdy forge]

c2 is very much hit or miss with aerials

[worthy lava]

Not true i have never missed the ball

[austere lily]

id rather play people who are consisten then miss 2-3 times they go in the air

[flint flume]

not to mention the amount of open nets in champ

[worthy lava]

Never missed open net either

Definitely

[cyan sage]

Hahaha

[flint flume]

I miss them all the time, if you score an open net, honestly what are you doing? yk?

[sturdy forge]

gc2 is like the only point where that sorta happens

[worthy lava]

Imo its my tm8s

[steady sierra]

I feel like its too late to start this game sigh

[austere lily]

Hey Chanter thin you could give me tips to help undterstand Direct airroll

[worthy lava]

Even in 1s they holding me back its crazy

[austere lily]

Yee why i like playing against gc smurfs lmao

[flint flume]

Im not sure on how to give tips for directional air roll in itself but I can tell you the fastest way to get it down is to just air roll not stop in free play or do rings to understand it, it depends on if you use left or right, I know both so if you have specific questions maybe I could answer it better

[sturdy forge]

ye but when u smurf its easier to just go for doubles all the time bc ppl are shit at defending em

[worthy lava]

Is it worth learning both?

I can do left airroll only

[austere lily]

thats true

[austere lily]

Im going to start with Left first get that down then try implementing Right, and should i make my drift the same at my airroll

[worthy lava]

Time is not that big of a concern im consistently on 40-50 past 2 atleast

[flint flume]

Knowing both air rolls isnt really essential to getting better, but it will make you faster, in some situations like recoveries in air or on the ground it may be awkward to use one over the other, so the only advantage is being able to be more mechy if you already are, and to be faster

[sturdy forge]

same got me up decently high so i dont see a need learning both

[flint flume]

make drift the same as your free air roll

[worthy lava]

My binds are fucked

[flint flume]

skill issue

[austere lily]

Well if i change from free airoll to Direct i wont have free airoll anymore

[worthy lava]

I dont know how to fat thumb 😭

So everything is on the triggers

[flint flume]

re-bind your free air roll, after 2 weeks you wont ever use it again most likely

[austere lily]

Okay i guess ima try it now lmao appreciate ur help

[flint flume]

ofc

[sturdy forge]

ps5 controller is so small my thumb covers all the buttons automatically

[worthy lava]

Im on a ps4 controller

My thumb does cover them but im not used to it

[sturdy forge]

its handy enough for tiny speed flip corrections

[worthy lava]

Everytime i put powerslide on sqaure i end up reverting

[worthy lava]

U can use directional for that

[sturdy forge]

u could ig i just learnt it on free

[austere lily]

its like learning how to play all over again xD

[flint flume]

I use directional for it since you already have to for a speed flip

[sturdy forge]

its prob the reason i only speedflip 1 side

[worthy lava]

My directional is on L2 which is the same as braking 🗿

[flint flume]

thats not good lmao

[sturdy forge]

mines on L1

[worthy lava]

Its like zen

He has both DAR and brake on l2

[flint flume]

I wanna 1v1 someone

[sturdy forge]

depends if your miles better than me in 1s but ill do it

[flint flume]

im ssl in 1s as well

[austere lily]

1v1 me xD

[worthy lava]

Funny enough im relatively much better at 1s than 2s

Im champ 1 in both

[sturdy forge]

nvm ive only come within 200mmr of ssl

[worthy lava]

I am the definition of bad rotations

[flint flume]

Can I put my epic in here?

[worthy lava]

Noone will tell its ur epic

[flint flume]

last time I did I got the boot from an admin 💀

[worthy lava]

How can they even tell its ur epic

[sturdy forge]

mix it into a sentence then

[austere lily]

i would just Dm who u wanna 1v1

[worthy lava]

My epic is literally my discord username

[worthy lava]

Rank?

[flint flume]

idc Chanter_ofc, I should make my epic my discord username

[sturdy forge]

mine was but i alr changed my steam like 3 times

[worthy lava]

So whats the plan after hitting c2

How far is c3 you reckon

[sturdy forge]

behind a wall of pain and suffering

[worthy lava]

😭

Cuz i peaked c2 couple of times this season but i always fall back to c1

[flint flume]

champ and gc is every smurfs best friend

[worthy lava]

....

So i gotta beat the smurfs u saying?

[flint flume]

or join one

[worthy lava]

Ill pass

[worthy lava]

😈

[flint flume]

then yeah you gotta beat them

[worthy lava]

Nah ill pass on beating them

[sturdy forge]

unless your like high gc2 or gc3 its actually surprisingly hard to carry somone up to gc or even gc2

[worthy lava]

I played with alot of gcs they are much better than me

[rich plinth]

Hello

[sturdy forge]

nah they just got a ryzen 9 and u got a lil i3 for a brain

[worthy lava]

That still means they are better than me

[sturdy forge]

nah just process things quicker is all

[worthy lava]

Most of them are much better than me mechanically too

[sturdy forge]

ya but eventually you will find a gc thats not and u can talk shit to them

[worthy lava]

Probably ero2bosnia

He probably beats my ass on ground play tho

probably more like definitely

[flint flume]

mechs dont matter in this game

[worthy lava]

Well to a certain extent

[flint flume]

basics do

nothing flashy like a flip reset though

[worthy lava]

I feel like resets are very useful if u master them

[worthy lava]

But ye fundamentals will make u rank up pretty fast

[flint flume]

is your pfp wu shang from Brawlhalla?

[steady sierra]

Yo if I train really hard and play specific scenarios, how long do you think It'll take for me to get to plat or diamond if i started from little to no knowledge of the game

[keen pumice]

Like 2 days

Its the time to get lvl10 and doing your placements. Plat is free

[lofty vine]

anyone know how to get out of gc 1-2

[steady sierra]

I mean for a beginner bro

Like NEW to the game

[keen pumice]

Exactly

[cyan sage]

Hey I'm looking for a coach to do consistent sessions with with the goal to rank up.

Im diamond ish, just got back after a big break. Have around 250h in matches but ofc more outside of that. I'm good at dribbling, rotations, walljumps, now im bad at, aerials, boost management, and sometimes positioning. I would like to be coached because I believe it's what I need to rank up.

[weary beacon]

Looking for help just started playing silver2 in ranked 2s and g1 in 1s

Pls

[distant wolf]

what you are looking for exactly? what activities

[signal lintel]

Depends how much you focus on improving. DM if you want to discuss

[distant horizon]

How do you flip reset without moving slow

It's genuinely annoying I constantly lose pace but it's also op

[rigid mesa]

If you have enough confidence, you can stop boosting just as you reach the ball, it requires good understanding of the air roll to be able to do so

you never really slow down unless you want to or your close to their goal

[reef lagoon]

Anyway wanna coach a D1 2s player dm pls

[distant horizon]

I do it's just sometimes I wait too long and it's slow

[worldly walrus]

Me and another one of my friends recently just started, however I can easily beat him in 1s (the score rn is 40-0) however we are both s3-g1 in 1s. If I can easily beat a s3 in 1s how come I'm still in s3?

[rigid mesa]

You lose momentum, need to get a hang of boost management

[distant horizon]

Not always

Sometimes I do

[rigid mesa]

There's also a chance you air roll a lot

[distant horizon]

W LL I play on switch

Can ya blame me

[rigid mesa]

Switch isn't the problem

But, if you air roll and boost, you are loosing speed as well

Just like if you were going straight foward, or in S shape

[distant horizon]

Ok

[rigid mesa]

You'll take longer to reach X place if you don't go straight foward

[cyan sage]

not if i sprint around rather than walk forward

[cyan sage]

throw

[signal lintel]

lol

[reef lagoon]

Anyway wanna coach a D1 2s player dm pls

[zealous girder]

@worldly walrus that's just how it is, you got diamonds that can't rotate, and golds that can air dribble, matchmaking is broken, I feel like it'd be better off of if we got paired with people with similar overall stats, Goal shot ratio, saves, assists, within said rank set, pretty sure it would work well at separating good plats from bad plats, it would better separate smurfs from lower level players and create a less aggravating Ranked experience on the matchmaking side of things and more even gameplay

[crystal cliff]

the ranked system is fine tbh if you cant compete maybe you are that problem

[flint flume]

I vouch for ^^^

[flint flume]

thats not true at all, the only time that happens is if you queue a smurf who can do mechs in a low rank. And fyi there is no such thing as a good and bad player in a rank, everyone has strengths and weaknesses as individuals which makes every player different and thats how they got the rank to begin with so dont blame them

[zealous girder]

@crystal cliff 💀 💀 I deal with it it doesn't really bother me but it's kind of becoming a thing even some pros recognize the matchmaking isn't good at lower ranks

[flint flume]

They used to say that months ago, not anymore

[zealous girder]

That's when it started lol its been since season 11 the only people it doesn't really affect is like c2+ and @flint flume I was just explaining by "good and bad" I mean like diamonds that dropped down in plat paired with someone who is on their rank up game to like plat 2 or 3, wouldn't even be a problem if it wasn't every other game

[flint flume]

This really shows how little you actually know about the ranked system rn

champ-gc has the most amount of smurfs, thats the only thing pros talk about still

[zealous girder]

Rather than belittle me educate me 💀

[flint flume]

If you scroll up I literally did, I explained to you why you complaining about tm8s and ranked system being wrong, now you're still going. Im simply telling you your wrong again... Pros dont think the system is bad, they think the smurfing problem is bad, which champ-gc has the most of those and your not there yet so from where you're sitting, the ranked system is all fair and nobody has said anything about it except for a few months ago. Not anymore though

[tough skiff]

Guys any tips for kbm I’m pretty new tryna hit plat

[zealous girder]

Ok I said the ranking system is broke which may be incorrect. However the method that I described would possibly work better to separate smurfs from true golds, plats and so on. This would require them to keep their goal shot ratio, saves, Win %, and hours played, the same as people actually in the rank. That would be almost impossible. They'd have to make an accout and play it exactly as someone learning the game, keeping their stats/time played/win/losses equal to someone truly learning the game, and at that point it would be fair gameplay. Regardless of how high or low the rank, They would have significantly better or worse stats, with significantly more or less hours/wins/losses for that rank.

[wanton bison]

Bro I Cant Get Out Of Plat 2 In 1s

[mortal quail]

This is a dumb idea, why
How would you separate who's good and who's not from stats alone. The only stat that truly matters is win ratio, but even then it gets lower the higher rank you go because games a lot closer. You can have 2 different players, each with similar stats and hours but have completely different levels of skill. There is levels to the game that stats won't help with.

So for the smurfing problem, it's simple
Make it harder to queue ranked on an alt.

[zealous girder]

@mortal quail well I wasn't excluding mmr, but Idk how they calculate how much mmr you go up or down other than winning or losing more or less often, why can't the game just score all the mechanics and tricks like the tony hawk and mx games 😂 like how long you touch the ball in an air dribble got the timer that pops up with x2 or something 😆

[maiden cape]

w

[woeful mason]

gain/loss is purely based off winrate and the difference between your mmr and the opponent, score doesn't effect anything. As it shouldn't, score isn't an accurate metric of how well you play, same with all those statistics you mentioned before like saves and shot percentage. They don't accurately show how good you are, especially saves

[restive blaze]

Is there anyone willing to help me reach Diamond 2?

I've got several Diamond-ranked friends I regularly game with, and I can hold my own in their matches. However, I'm having trouble climbing out of Platinum 3.

When I'm in Diamond matches, I can truly show my skills.

Last season, I began my Rocket League journey and managed to reach Diamond 1 Division 4. This was primarily because I devoted a lot of time to training, practicing with training packs, and learning from YouTube tutorials.

This season, my aim is to attain Diamond 2, or even make it to Diamond 3. Although I may not be fully prepared for the competitiveness of Diamond 3 lobbies, as it's quite close to the Champion tier.

[split pasture]

hrllo guys im fully new i wanna learn the basics of the game if anyonr can teach me

[restive blaze]

You just started?

[split pasture]

yeah

[sharp karma]

How to get good

[split pasture]

are u new ?

[sharp karma]

no im just dia1

[split pasture]

oh

i thought if u would be new we could play togetjrr

[sharp karma]

whats ur rank

[split pasture]

im new no rank bro.

[restive blaze]

Defense is key, if you can defend a good player then your set in the lower ranks

Also learning good rotations, if you can learn how to rotate properly, it ensures that the goal is never left wide open. It will also create better scoring opportunities for your team and is the best way to move up ranks.

Training Half-Flips, being able to turn around on the spot can be crucial in a match.

I spent 20-30+ minutes in training every day when I started last season and I made it up pretty high. There were days I spent 1 hour in training watching YouTube videos on new skills and practicing rotations with friends in private matches.

Even though training may get boring it’s important, also finding training packs.

[split pasture]

oh tysm

but yeah training is boring ik that

and if i can ask whys defense better then attack

[sharp karma]

i only train attack.

[restive blaze]

Don’t get me wrong staying consistent in attack as well is just as important.

That’s where rotations come in. Staying consistent with hitting the ball, and having good aim on goals pressures the opposing team. While being able to stay in a position where you can rotate to save open goals.

[split pasture]

oh

[sharp karma]

i cant save shots

[split pasture]

okay tysm u got any training pack i can use

[restive blaze]

Yeah I’ve got ton, I’m currently away from pc my so I don’t know the codes rn.

[split pasture]

oh alr

i wanna learn how to perfect aerial but i think im too low rank for it

[restive blaze]

You should train on defense

[split pasture]

ill just focus on defense and rota

[odd hollow]

Hi, KBM player here. I'm currently Plat 2 in 2v2's and want to incorporate a diagonal flip on my kickoff - rn I've been boosting all the way and flipping just before making contact with the ball.

Is it W+E to do a diagonal flip? I've been using that and it seems fine just wanted to make sure, thanks

[restive blaze]

I watched a lot of SpookLukes training videos when I started. You should do that, also watch some of ApparentlyJack. I watch some of his videos now, to train

[split pasture]

hmm i watch the one good youtuber thats good at flicks and stuff

[restive blaze]

What region are you? Sometime we can party up sometime and I can help teach you a few things

[split pasture]

[split pasture]

[restive blaze]

Awesome I’m going to dm you so that I don’t forget.

[sharp karma]

How can i ground to air dribble?

[lusty narwhal]

Yo can anyone teach me some useful mechanics

[sharp karma]

air dribble, flicks.

[grim kestrel]

how do u air dribble

[dusky fiber]

here a guide if u start getting into air dribbles: 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, u can also send me vid of yours and i will try and give more individual tipps

[grim kestrel]

how do u get off the wall easily

[dusky fiber]

jump and turn with air roll in a straight position, if u practise it a bit u will be able to do it fast at one point

[grim kestrel]

when i jump it sends me flying

[dusky fiber]

usually when u have a similar speed as the ball and jump AS SOON as u touch the ball u should already be very close, so even if u send yourself flying, the ball should also, just watch the steps i told above and u should be good for the set up

[grim kestrel]

ill try rn

TYSM

[trail patrol]

True words

[grim kestrel]

[grim kestrel]

[cyan sage]

[worthy lava]

Those are not trash gcs

U should see the gcs i get in champ 1

[cyan sage]

what about them

[worthy lava]

They suck

Like im champ 1 in 2s

And champ 1 in 1s too

[grim kestrel]

i scored once and this guy forfit

[worthy lava]

Calmest rocket league player:

[cyan sage]

i dont understand how can they have a gc title and be stuck in c1

[worthy lava]

I dont either

Sometimes they are actual gcs

I have the thing that shows other ranks in other modes

[cyan sage]

im like gc1 in 2s right now

[worthy lava]

Im c1 💔

[cyan sage]

and you either get someone who is braindead/boosted or you get gc2s

ranked is so broken and they arent fixing it

[worthy lava]

Idk man i feel im getting better but still c1

I did peak c2 like 3 times this season

[grim kestrel]

LOL

[worthy lava]

But i always end up back to c1

[grim kestrel]

2 Kick off goals and they left

[uneven forum]

Sometimes u make progress but it doesn't exactly show yet in ur rank ups, as u build up more consistency in ur skills eventually you'll rank up and c2 will be your equilibrium

[weary beacon]

[north turtle]

[split pasture]

okeh

[hazy gulch]

can anyone coach me?

[tawdry tide]

i am d1 but arnt fast and constant what should i play more

[thin grotto]

anyone gote tips for me im D1 and trying to learn flashy ground dribbles

[radiant siren]

anyone here who can give me some tips or teach me how to improve aerials im D2 but my aerials are still not good,i would appreciate any kind of help

[round helm]

watch tutorials and montages of pro players who do the mechs you want to learn, id recommend checking out RLFX on youtube, and then just a bunch of practice in freeplay

[thin grotto]

Like i alr know what i want to learn like i can do what i want without the ball on me i just dont know where the ball hase to be on my car to do it

[round helm]

one tip i can give you is to look at the circle under the ball and look where it sits on your car and compare that to other peoples clips instead of focusing on the actual ball

[thin grotto]

i know that, im just bad at explainging things. what im tryna do is a double dash into a 180 flick but i dont know if the ball has to be on the hood, back side, middle etc.

[crystal cliff]

dont do this

just practice, no need to watch videos of mechs you cant do and wont do for a while

everyone wants to be able to do what they see in a rlfx video, then you get in game and arent anything like it

dont get your expectations up just practice what you know and build on it

@thin grotto

[vernal reef]

I have a question do I need 2FA or 500 credits to trade?

[worthy lava]

Yes u need

[vernal reef]

Which tho?

[crystal cliff]

both

[vernal reef]

Aww man seems I can't get my fennec

[slender leaf]

I want a fennec so bad too

[vernal reef]

I'm gonna buy 500 credits

But I'll wait for it in the item shop

[crystal cliff]

it wont be

just trade

or buy blueprints for it

[rigid mesa]

2FA is easy to setup

and i don't think a normal fennec or any painted ones are 500 in the shop, they are usually overpriced there

[vernal reef]

I can't because I'm on switch

[rigid mesa]

You can't set it up there?

[cyan sage]

Anyone know any good workshop maps for practice? Im high diamond

[vernal reef]

Idk

nah you cant

[cyan sage]

Anyone can give me some tips for the ceiling musty ? ( my musty at the end are so bad )

[rigid mesa]

Doesn't make sense, but who knows, Nintendo policy maybe

[rigid mesa]

Try to fall at the same speed as the ball first, then as you gain confidence do it faster/further away from it

It's also important to boost up to keep control of the car and to make it fall down at the same speed of the ball

[cyan sage]

Alright

[vernal reef]

Yippe I have my very first 500creds

I'ma save up for something

🫠

[cold jacinth]

hi

[vernal reef]

Hi

[cold jacinth]

guys

plz

need help in coaching

if anyone is available

[sturdy forge]

I think fennec is like 300cr

[vernal reef]

But I can't trade
