[charred sky]

I'd appreciate if you'd stop talking about me every time you see me make a post on here. I don't know you and you don't know me like that. Thanks.

[charred sky]

Are you able to do your air dribbles consistently?

[charred sky]

I'm sure some one has the time to coach but my question to you is do you feel as though you're doing everything right but can't figure out what's going wrong, or do you know you're doing things wrong but not how to fix?

[woeful raft]

can i get a coach? im like p3 in 2s and i wanna work on how to play with tm8s correctly.

[next shoal]

Can someone help me get out of D3 pleasee? I have been hardstuck for over a year!

[pine loom]

I’m currently gc2 1569

[ancient finch]

the question should be, is he really trying to help people by giving them valid tips based on experience or is he just trying to boost his ego by proving everyone that he is better and smarter than anyone else here

cuz what tips is he giving if he hadn't even left gold yet. He is basically mirroring someone else's advice

[abstract shore]

hello i need someone to help me grow to diamond i am plat 3 div 2 please help

[late grail]

u dont need a coach if ur silver just watch youtube and hit the ball hard

[past bone]

so im currently c2 and Im debating on changing my keybinds since i dont use free air roll at all (only use left directional air roll L1/LB), my boost is O/B and i feel slower compared to the people im playing with. Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

[late grail]

put boost at R1

[past bone]

i also play with my index finger on B/0

[woeful mason]

boost is just fine on B, you should probably atleast have air roll, even if you dont use it much

[past bone]

its on square for me

[woeful mason]

what do you have on Rb

[past bone]

i just never use it

right directional which i never use

[woeful mason]

you could put it there, you just have to be able to boost and press it at the same time

on square I doubt you can do that, since it would use hte same finger im guessing

[past bone]

yeah

could i ask what rank u are?

[woeful mason]

gc 2

[past bone]

did u ever change your binds around c2?

[woeful mason]

I only ever changed my binds at gc 1, when I added air roll right after it was updated into the game

[past bone]

where is ur free air roll

[woeful mason]

lb

lb free roll, rb air roll right, left stick air roll left

[severe arch]

@mortal quail when are you coaching me man

[muted quartz]

Don’t worry ladies/gentlemen I can coach

(im utterly horrible at the game)

[past bone]

when should i use free air roll?

[tawdry vapor]

Any tips for 2s ranked because I keep getting ball chased

[woeful mason]

I normally use free roll for smaller movements, like air roll shots and most flicks.

[red yew]

How do I learn directional air roll?

Im d1

[wet trout]

What rank should I start learn how to air dribble?

[red yew]

Im learning now but anywhere from d1 - c2

My c2 cousin learned in c1

[wet trout]

Aight thanks

[tawdry vapor]

I need someone to help me

[tough owl]

You choose a button on your remote

Or a key on your keyboard

[red yew]

Really?

[tough owl]

And set it for with direction

*Which

[tough owl]

Yea

[red yew]

🤦🏼‍♂️

[tough owl]

And I’m a gold

And I know how to do it

Just go to key setting or the key inputs

[red yew]

I know how to bind it…

[tough owl]

Then u know how to do it

[red yew]

Classic gold answer

[tough owl]

Fr

I’m a gold but I’m pretty decent a defense

Better than my competition

My peak is plat 1 div 2

[mortal quail]

Your never on

Also you sit in freeplay

[lavish elbow]

Oi

[cedar widget]

[late grail]

[obtuse peak]

Hey i have a question, as of rn I am gold 1 div in ones, gold 3 div 2 in 2's (peak in 2's is plat 1) and ive genuinly no clue what i can do to improve my gameplay ive tryed training packs, switching my setting, youtube vids and everything but other than small stuff i just can't figure out what im doing wrong i feel like im going for the ball at good times but i just dont know. can someone plz help me, maybe even play a couple matches to see what im talking about

[dawn aspen]

does anyone under plat3 want some free coaching rn? im gc1

[obtuse peak]

[dawn aspen]

just dm me if you do want coaching

[wary raft]

How do you use the lf group bot

[forest nacelle]

Dm me if u want professional coaching sessions!

[spring tide]

How should I go into diagonal kickoffs if I haven't learned how to speed flip yet

[ionic monolith]

What’s your rank?

[spring tide]

d1 currently, d3 div 4 peak

[ionic monolith]

What kind of kickoff are you currently using?

[spring tide]

either flip into the ball or wave dash ig

[ionic monolith]

So you only use one flip kickoffs? Other than when you wave dash?

[spring tide]

depends on where I am, if I'm on the back side I do 2 flips, if I'm in front I do only one, I wave dash into the ball

[ionic monolith]

Okay well there’s a few different kickoffs you can lean but the speed flip one is the fastest. You don’t need a speed flip kickoff to win though.

[spring tide]

I'm searching for a speedflip alternative while I learn it

[ionic monolith]

You can use a diagonal flip kickoff without a speed flip. It’s still fast it’s just not as fast

[spring tide]

does it work from the 2 forward spots?

[ionic monolith]

The far left and right?

[spring tide]

yes

[ionic monolith]

Yeah

[ancient solstice]

How do i learn directional air roll

[cyan sage]

just practice

[ancient solstice]

Ok

[cyan sage]

take the step and bind it and just straight up just play with it

[ancient solstice]

Thats what im doing im d3 and im just confused a lil bit

Im on xbox and cant use workshot maps

[ionic monolith]

It mostly comes down to trial and error. The more you practice the better you’ll get

[cyan sage]

if you have a rings map just try to practice it by tornado spining if not just go in a dropshot freeplay map and just tornado spin around

[ancient solstice]

Ok

[ionic monolith]

You can also jump from one goal and fly to the other goal while spinning or you can fly in a circle around the ball at midfield while spinning

[ancient solstice]

Ill give it a try and just keep practicing

[ionic monolith]

Good luck!

[ancient solstice]

Thanks

[cyan sage]

i lose height at the third heli reset , need some tipss

[ancient solstice]

Bru i cant help with that lol

[ionic monolith]

Can’t help you there. I can barely get a second heli

[ancient solstice]

Can barely do 1 reset

[cyan sage]

ye i loweky do need a freestyling coach

[ionic monolith]

Same

[cyan sage]

since im literally like c3 in comp now i just gave up

[ionic monolith]

Sounds just like me

I’m c2 and I practice freestyling way too much for comp

[cyan sage]

nah not that

i dropped from high gc 2 💀

[ionic monolith]

Damn

That’s why you gave up

[cyan sage]

ye literally i just dont the game no more

i only coach

[ionic monolith]

Too many ball chasers?

[cyan sage]

nah i just freestyle in comp

cant be arsed tbh

[ionic monolith]

Ah

[forest nacelle]

Dm me if u want professional coaching sessions!

[stray elk]

Does anyone have any tips for playing under pressure as in higher level tournaments?

[cyan sage]

Wuttup guys

[cedar widget]

how can I improve fast on ps4 when it’s hard because workshop maps would make it so much easier for me

[cyan sage]

Any advice for a plat 1

btw i somehow can double tap and flip reset

[cedar widget]

@cyan sage do the ground shooting packs

[cyan sage]

I FINESHED GROUND PLAYS ALOT

ALOT""

[cedar widget]

also learn backpost rotations, don’t try to shoot teammates “passes” and if the ball gets cleared behind u a lot change your positioning#

[cyan sage]

Well i know how to half flip

and speed flip

and Wall Dash Normal Dash Wall to ground and ground to wall

[cedar widget]

do u have any game replays

[cyan sage]

No i dont replay clips

Whats ur rank btw

[cyan sage]

not the difference you would imagine

[cedar widget]

@cyan sage really? i could do so many dribble packs and rings and way more difficult shooting packs

[cyan sage]

freeplay is more than enough for any

[cedar widget]

hopefully can hit champ again today played bad yesterday down to d3 im c2 peak i feel that the practice on console doesn’t help my air roll anymore like it used to

what rank are you

[cyan sage]

well i dont play the game anymore

[cedar widget]

oh okay

[cyan sage]

but i used to be high gc 2

now im like c3 or sum idek llol

[cedar widget]

wow

you should give it another go

[cyan sage]

nah cant be arsed tbf

[cedar widget]

did u quit and get rusty?

[cyan sage]

ye just no time for the game that much

[cedar widget]

how should i use free play to get better

i usually practice aireal mecs like air dribbles flip resets ground to air dribbles a little bit

[cyan sage]

Ur console right?

[cedar widget]

yea

[cyan sage]

Try the Passing play button

[cedar widget]

i hit c2 i had routine idk if it was why it was annoying

[cyan sage]

it helped me alot in games

[cedar widget]

oh yeah i use that love it

[cyan sage]

Yea that will make u understand the gameplay more

[cedar widget]

u want my old routine i pushed a lot with it it will probably help u

[cyan sage]

What is it

[cedar widget]

is have to tweak so it’s easier

so i go on the pillars map and just get used to flying in circles around pillars and if ur good enough figure eights

[cyan sage]

Use air roll with it?

[cedar widget]

i air roll the whole time but that’s getting to easy now

learn to do car upright and upside down so bottom is facing u

and air adjustments so side doesn’t change

1. pillars

[cyan sage]

air roll right and left or the normal one

[cedar widget]

i use left it’s prefrance which way do u flip more

oh use normal for small adjustments

[warped moat]

Normal for everything >

[cyan sage]

I somehow can flip reset with no air roll

i dont know how

[cedar widget]

@warped moat no way lmao

aireal mecs are ten times harder with no turns that are opposite of tornado spin

i used to main free air roll the switch helped

do u hit them frequently in game

just get good at shooting and backpost rotations boost management u will get d2

i next used pillars to practice dribbling

then a few big packs and repeat so probably like 300 shots and move on to a different map like some aireal or flick practice

flicks in free play movement in free play

if u put that many shoots in u will leave plat ur shooting would be decent

[cyan sage]

who can teach me

[frail zinc]

what u need to learn?

[drowsy oasis]

can somhone teach me why i cant go up

an if i go up i gho the game after down

[frail zinc]

uhh hardstuck/not spending time outside of games trying to improve, not self reviewing gameplay to see how you got scored on or didnt score and how u can change that ect

[drowsy oasis]

can you theach me some stuff

[frail zinc]

waht rank and platform r u

and what playlist

[drowsy oasis]

i am champ 1 div 3 i am on pc and 2v2

[frail zinc]

kk

ill dm u in a sec

[drowsy oasis]

ok

[cyan sage]

to get better

[frail zinc]

-_-

lmao what rank playlist and platform are you

[cyan sage]

ps5 d1 2s p1 1s

[frail zinc]

k well in all honesty u kinda gotta just play more but ill send you some stuff

[cyan sage]

ok

[cyan sage]

PS5 GC2 3s C3 1s and GC1 2s.

Where are my tips :3

[frail zinc]

considering ur like the same rank as me bascially not too sure

only things I could say without watching your gameplay is being aware of not wasting boost on things basically being as efficient as possible, adding more shots to your arsenal so that you can be more unpredictable and try to spend some time rewatching replays from multiple people povs other then yours to see what things you can do to prevent a goal or capitilize on a scoreing chance

but idk your gameplay so couldn't say forsure

[warped moat]

Whats ur rank

[cedar widget]

c

c1

[spring tide]

Can someone please analize a replay and tell me where I need to improve? (D1 in 2s)

[rapid kindle]

Yo any gc 3 or ssl got good tips for 2s. I’m 1700 in 3s and bout to start grinding 2s, but I have no clue what I’m doing in 2s

[severe arch]

i am on, just not this acc

and i dont sit in fp all day i sit in 1s cas

[frail zinc]

hit ball

[frank veldt]

im c1 plan is to hit c3

[ancient finch]

Gc3 in 3s and no rank in 2s is crazy

What was ur last rnak in 2s

[rapid kindle]

Haven’t played 2s for like 2-3 seasons but last I was 1580 I think

I just hate playing 2s

[rapid kindle]

I’m also diamond in 1s lol

[orchid stratus]

anyone got tips for 1s i’m currently diamond 1 div 4

anyone diamond 2 and above for help pls^^

[ancient finch]

Whats so bad about them

You literally get time on the ball and can still make risky plays if ur teammate is behind

[hasty oracle]

Anyone got tips I'm stuck in gold 3 but can beat some diamonds and knows how to speed flick and is decent at shadow defense

And decent at ariels

[swift spindle]

can someone help me get better

?

[rapid kindle]

I got mechs good enough for gc2 rn. 3s it’s easier for me. Just go fast and hit ball first.

No you don’t. Just keep playing

Trust me you don’t. A coach isn’t going to help you. Game time will

Just work on hitting the ball harder and consistently

If you’re silver than idk why your getting coached from anyone under gc. Those guys have no clue what they saying

So how are you better than them????

Lol

You might need medication then not coaching. I’ve never heard a silver compare themselves to same level as a gc2

Do you play ranked much or just casual/free play

And no, I’m not gonna waste my time 1v1

Well that’s prob why he don’t believe you

If you played rank you’re prob be at least plat

Even if you’re plat you don’t really need a coach

Trust me a coach ain’t gonna make you better rn

[mortal quail]

He needs a coach but won't queue ranked
No wonder no one coaching

[rapid kindle]

Just watch some YouTube and learn mechs you want

Fr

Learn mechs and how to hit the ball until you a champ then you need coaching cause you’ll likely be dumb

[ancient finch]

I am dumb

I always thought no one needs a coach but i feel like after deranking from gc1 to c2 I think I need a coach

Im improving my mechs and deranking at the same time😁

[cyan sage]

if anybody wants to learn sum mechs tapnnn

[wet kiln]

lots of time in freeplay and packs can do that to a man

[mellow frigate]

im hard stuck gold this season but usually high okat to diamond, any help?

[ancient finch]

I dont even practise that much mechs. The thing is that It's easier for me to practise mechanic than focusing on ranking up. Im getting demotivated from games where im losing against c2 when I was gc1 before a break. Maybe if I wasn't getting mad I would be able to hit gc1 again but it's just not possible sometimes

[mortal quail]

When were you last gc1?

[ancient finch]

couple months ago

cant really remember now

I took a break and probably after 3-4months I was placed in c1 then rankedcf up tro c3 and now to c2 its weird

[mortal quail]

If it was before may/June
Then your c2 now
Ranks have been adjusted and a lot of inflated ranks have dropped.

So your probably losing to ex gc1s as well

[ancient finch]

but my mechanics got sooo much better now so at least that motivates me a bit

[ancient finch]

yeah it just feels like c3 now is like gc 1 lobby

[ionic monolith]

Is it good that my rank remained the same throughout the adjustment?

[ancient finch]

what rank

[mortal quail]

Well what rank

[ionic monolith]

C2 in 3s

[mortal quail]

2s is the mode that got hit the hardest

[ionic monolith]

I don’t play much 2s but I’m still the same rank as I was

I’m high c1

[mortal quail]

Then you probably deserve your rank, unless you squad queued

[ionic monolith]

I typically lfg but I play with my same rank

Only time I play 2s is when my friend plays with me. He’s c1 but never plays

[rapid kindle]

3s got hit slightly around gc 1. Once you get past 1500 it’s normal

[golden mural]

anyone got some workshop maps for air training i can try out im a lil bored of leths rings

wanna try something new

[trim pecan]

Gc2 lobby’s feel like hell. To much cutting and stupid touches and 1v2s

[solemn storm]

how to i fly sideways

[wet kiln]

sometimes you gotta focus on enjoying the game not just getting better lol

[ancient finch]

Sometimes its just hard when in the back of my mind I see my rank going down instead of up

[plain dove]

How do I get out of champ in 1s

[magic brook]

can someone teach me speedfli[s

[hard aurora]

How to get out of Dimond?

[remote jasper]

how to fast ariel ?

[umbral crag]

nah c2 and c3 are same as always

[ancient finch]

yeah maybe im jsut shit

[meager sundial]

Could someone help me get to diamond I’m plat rn I just started playing the game any tips would help

[wet kiln]

true

ive seen my rank go down and i dont like it

maybe try 1s if you are going down in 2s or smth

[sterile nacelle]

its called ranked anxiety, i have it too, you need to tell yourself that failure is apart of success and that you are going to lose, its apart of the process

[ancient finch]

yh yh im trying

[lusty galleon]

c3 and gc1 are very very similar
since everyone in c3 is pushing themselves to be gc1 a lot of people are stuck along that barrier and it makes c3 significantly harder than c2

i bet i could tell a c2 and c3 game apart, but not c3 and gc1

[lusty galleon]

practice the FUNDEMENTALS
like SHOTS and SAVES
maybe a very basic posession play like dribbling for 1 second and then double jumping
a plat who can shoot is easily a diamond

[worn pecan]

coaching for free, just DM im supersonic legend and optimizing devices for lower ping and input delay and increasing FPS

[civic pendant]

From my experience whenever tilt down to c3 from gc1 the mechanics are about the same but decision making is like 10x worse. People just dive for anything.

[meager sundial]

“Ranked anxiety” 😭

[sterile nacelle]

That’s what it’s called broski 🤷

[meager sundial]

I have it too I’m in plat 🙈

[sterile nacelle]

I have it and I’m gc3 😼

[meager sundial]

Get better 🙄

[sterile nacelle]

Swear

[meager sundial]

I just started playing on pc hoping to reach champion atleast in a week

[dry marsh]

Just queue??

Rank go down, easier lobbies, more fun destroying players, rank go up, big number good, win win either way

[dry marsh]

Me personally, i just queue

[meager sundial]

Does everyone here uses air roll left/right ? My air roll left is l1 and right is square not comfortable uising it

[dry marsh]

Why think, just queue

[dry marsh]

Just use what you want

[sterile nacelle]

Same now

[dry marsh]

There are pro players that use free air roll

[sterile nacelle]

Not true

[dry marsh]

How long you been c2 for

[meager sundial]

That’s like saying you shouldn’t use optimal keybinds because a pro can do it without them

[dry marsh]

#rocket-league message

@red.9015 on air roll stats

Peak mention

@umbral crag

[sterile nacelle]

Oh I thought u said there are no pros that use free roll

[dry marsh]

Whats optimal is what you’re comfortable with

[sterile nacelle]

Im hella eepy

[umbral crag]

go sleep

[dry marsh]

A tad bit of trolling

[sterile nacelle]

I dabble in a lil trickery

[umbral crag]

that's my best copy paste fr. almost like ero

[dry marsh]

You should sleep instead, might grow that final .5 inch

My fault, that was rude

[umbral crag]

wild

[meager sundial]

Not really optimal is when you can get pretty multiple binds at once

Press*

[dry marsh]

Optimal is all actions on one key fr fr

[meager sundial]

XD

[sterile nacelle]

W

[dry marsh]

Ero’s copy pastes have lost their power, they’re rarely posted now

Ero’s gg fr

Too much genshin

[meager sundial]

I find it hard to jump from the right wall because I have to press square 😭 maybe I just need to get used to it

[sterile nacelle]

Takes practice

[dry marsh]

Just use air roll

I use air roll left off both walls, whats the issue

[meager sundial]

Idk if you trolling lmao

[sterile nacelle]

I use ARL off both walls lol, but I have 1000 hours in straight freestyling so I’m used to a lot at this point

[dry marsh]

I use air roll left off both walls, all i do is ballchase and boom

[umbral crag]

I air roll right off both walls most of the time unless I am feeling like air roll left for some reason

[sterile nacelle]

I use ARR for recoveries only, been trying my very hardest to learn in the air with it though

[dry marsh]

@umbral crag any idea why queues this season are fucked

[umbral crag]

are they?

[dry marsh]

I use arr for recoveries too, i can use it in the air just not well

[umbral crag]

I swear ppl have gotten worse

[dry marsh]

I queued into a 1700 lobby in a 2 min queue time

As a 1550

[meager sundial]

So will I be fine without air roll right? I can get to gc tommorow?

[umbral crag]

they dont have enough players up there to q against now fr

also ur west

[sterile nacelle]

Dude I was an 1800 lobby as a 1690

[dry marsh]

1550, tm8 was 1700, opps were 1650 and 1600

[dry marsh]

You can hit gc just by booming the ball tbf

So yeah ig, you can camp net and hit gc

[sterile nacelle]

This is one thing not to do

[umbral crag]

you don't need directional lol

[dry marsh]

Thats all i do, it’ll get you to gc

[umbral crag]

ppl can get gc3 just booming the ball

[dry marsh]

Gc is 1435 @sterile nacelle, he wants gc not ssl

[sterile nacelle]

Nowhere above gc 😭

[sterile nacelle]

Can, very unlikely

[meager sundial]

Okay I changed my mind I was ssl

[dry marsh]

He wants gc not ssl, boom ball and chase gets gc2 at least

[ionic monolith]

Yeah from my knowledge, most people are more proficient with one or the other and they use the one they’re better with most of the time and only use the other when it’s necessary

[meager sundial]

I want **

[dry marsh]

Boom ball when boom ball optimal

[meager sundial]

Ok thanks!

[sterile nacelle]

Gc2 you need at least a lil possession 💀

[dry marsh]

All i do is boom ball and if i play i sit around 1650

[umbral crag]

nah you can just boom the ball towards net

[dry marsh]

Just boom ball on net with placement

[sterile nacelle]

👍

[meager sundial]

Also is controller better than keybaord?

[umbral crag]

different from just mindlessly booming the ball

[dry marsh]

You dont need possession, just place the ball so they get a bad save and boom it again since you’re chasing

[umbral crag]

wii remote is better than kbm. src: kbm player w/ 7k hrs

[dry marsh]

Mouse only is the way to go

[ionic monolith]

Don’t forget to cut your tm8 because you’re better and your tm8 is always bad

[dry marsh]

Thats what i do, still get 1650

[meager sundial]

Thank you I’ll remember this

I was already doing that tbh

[dry marsh]

Good

[brittle marlin]

How do people air rolls so smoothly

Is it just training in free play

[cyan sage]

yeah basicly

[brittle marlin]

I can hit very basic Ariel shots

No air rolls

And I can set up the ball for a air dribble but only make it in like 1/10 times

Does anyone have a map code for Ariel/air roll mastery?

Anyone got tips on flip resets musties

[ancient finch]

What rank?

[ancient finch]

Help with what?

[crude ravine]

Last time i played, a year ago, i was champ2, but i now started playing again, i still suck at flying and havent mastered directional air roll at all, i only use standard air roll right now. Should i rebind a directional air roll to L2, like zen has (since its now said to be the better way if you are just learning)? If yes, where do i move the rear movement?

[crude ravine]

Are you sure that you are doing the speedflip correctly? Not that i would know, but that could be the problem.

[heavy ridge]

You have directional air roll and driving backwards both on L2

Thats what zen has too, I do not reccomend putting directional air roll on L2 though

[crude ravine]

Why not?

[heavy ridge]

Breaking in the air slows you down actually, its ever ever so slightly but Once in the higher ranks, or on a level of zens gameplay, it could cost you goals

[glacial vine]

see

[heavy ridge]

better put it on L1, R1 or R2

[glacial vine]

told u

[heavy ridge]

Or square

[crude ravine]

Square seems uncomfy for me cuz i dont do claw, but maybe could try fatfingering. R2 is driving though. R1 is boost for me, L1 i have standard air roll

[heavy ridge]

then I reccomend putting standard air roll on L2 and only using that for recoveries, and then put directional on L1 to use that as your main

[glacial vine]

i told him this

[crude ravine]

You told me to remove it fully, cuz its "useless"

[glacial vine]

ill screen shot it rn

[crude ravine]

Go on

[glacial vine]

look at chat

[heavy ridge]

well lots of pro's use it because its nice for recoveries, personally i use both air roll right and left so there is no use in standard for me

[heavy ridge]

well I remember you also asked for "help level 17 new to the game"

but that msg is deleted now

[crude ravine]

Guy has been passive agressive for no reason since the moment he texted me, and i dont understand why lol

Lol he sent me a screenshot of him telling me to put standard on l2 after i told him that i want to have standard. Before that he was telling me to remove it. Now that i mentioned it to him, he immediately blocked me without replying, poor human being with a poor attitude

[crude ravine]

Exactly

Thats why i want to have it

• its used for adjusting minor inconveniances when shooting

[crude ravine]

I dont know if what he sent me is real, but he was showing me his(?) account with plat/diamond/champ ranks, in case if i dont believe him, telling me i wont get good if i use standard air roll

I thought from the beginning that he seemed kinda random and outta the blue

[heavy ridge]

Champ would make even more sense since most champs think theyre the best in the world

[heavy ridge]

Im not sure about that but if you want to have it, go for it

[crude ravine]

I am glad i dont fall into this majority category lol

[heavy ridge]

lol

[heavy ridge]

Im glad i didnt when i was champ either

[crude ravine]

Great, so could you repeat where i should put a directional air roll? Also which one should i use, left or right? There probably is no difference, but ive heard ppl saying that left is superior

[heavy ridge]

Try both and figure which is more comfy for you, left is more popular but there is 0 difference. I want you to put standard air roll on L2 and directional on L1

[crude ravine]

Great, thanks a lot❤️

[heavy ridge]

ofc nw

[tacit pollen]

My right air roll is O

And the Left is L1

[ancient finch]

I have it on square and its comfortable without claw

Or maybe not comfortable just normal its easy to get used to it

[tacit pollen]

Yo wait

How do I cancel the flip??

Like when u be facing the front and want to face the back fast

How do I do if

[low rain]

its just a backwards flip cancel. so backflip then as soon as you actually dodge, as fast as you can flick the stick back up, then whether you use directional or normal air roll correct for landing

[warped fulcrum]

Plat 2 - diamond 1

[hasty oracle]

I'm a good player for my rank but I'm stuck at it my rank is stuck at gold 3 and I even was able to beat some diamonds and can do speed flicks and is decent at ariels and even some pros say that I shouldn't be gold

What can I do to get out of gold??

[versed topaz]

Better game sense maybe. Mechanics aren't the only thing you need to learn, especially when your gold.

[hasty oracle]

Well I am a good teammate but my teammates don't help me

[versed topaz]

Then find a duo

[hasty oracle]

Okay

[versed topaz]

If people do say you shouldn't be gold, then get like a Plat 2 tm8

[hasty oracle]

And by the way I have all my air rolls on one button should I change them?

[pure musk]

Hey I’m Diamond 3 trying to get into champ. Any tips to make it?

[versed topaz]

Defo should. Normal air roll isn't all that good, and it can be really hard to get used to directional air roll. Put one of them, either left or right. Or put both if you feel comfortable enough.

[hasty oracle]

I have my right and left in one button

[versed topaz]

Put only one on one button and the other on another.

[hasty oracle]

Okay

Thanks by the way

[versed topaz]

No worries 👍

Not home rn, I'll let u know in a couple of hours

The reason I'm asking us because I think my game sense is pretty solid and u feel like my mechs are limiting me from getting better

But is Plat too early to learn mechs?

[drowsy oyster]

Any 1s coaches out there with tips on how to reach grand champ

[fast gate]

I would say to be as patient as possible and play around with fake challenges. If you can counter the shots the opponent puts on net its almost always a free goal.

[random marsh]

Any1 willing to coach me in game?

[cyan sage]

As a 1v1 coach I'd recommend learning the powershot

can someone coach me?

[ancient finch]

mechs are only going to slow down ranking up process

by a lot

you dont need air dribbles to rank up

its just something you can practise for fun

[ionic monolith]

There are mechs that you will need but they’re basic enough that most people don’t think of them when they think of mechs. Like hitting the ball consistently or hitting the ball hard

Can anyone take a look at these two clips and tell me what I’m doing wrong and how to fix it? I’m trying to learn maktufs

[steel hemlock]

question. i sit around c2-c3 but i play a lot of high rank scrims/6mans (around gc1-gc2). I've been having so much trouble in ranked recently bc i've learning high lvl mechs and high level game pace. I can't seem to slow down my gameplay in my ranked matches, even though i've been focusing on that specific issue for a few weeks now. can anyone coach me or give me some tips?

[cyan sage]

i dont thik you will need to slow down, if you being "too fast" is why ur loosing ur probably overcomitting

[steel hemlock]

thats the thing tho, most of my losses are bc of my tm8's overcommits usually after i go for a shot. and its usually at the last seconds of the game

and most of my tm8's dont have the skill to even follow up my shots or passes.

[cyan sage]

try to get shoot shots that you know you can recover from, if you dont feel like you can trust ur team8s. For example ground plays, power shots to force saves or flicks, stuff like that

[steel hemlock]

i feel that strongly. when i stack, its easy to win bc i can j tell my tm8's what to do. but solo q is impossible in this rank and above

[cyan sage]

solo que is good practice cuse ur forced to adapt and learn different playstyles, it willl come to good use in the future : ]

[steel hemlock]

okay ty man. do you have any training tips or packs that would be good for that?

[cyan sage]

thats true, ive been thru plenty of controllers but im now not stuck in low gc anymore😅

[steel hemlock]

ikr. when its a free net, they wont go. but as soon as i full commit as 1st man, its all the sudden their time to shine

[cyan sage]

free play is always the best, ive played a shooting accuracy pack its on bakkesmod i can send u the name if u wantit

[steel hemlock]

prejumping from our own net to the other side

[steel hemlock]

yes please. i use biddles and a lot of wayprotien shooting packs

but i dont have much variation in routine

[cyan sage]

i think there js trying t follow up youre touch to be helpfull but they dont see that it might nit be scorable and u wont be back to save it if it goes left

[steel hemlock]

exactly. but like... only when i cant recover fast enough they decide to go

yeah 1293 rn

[cyan sage]

yh might be that they are just trying to keep pressure since they saw u full commit to the play, idk i might be yapping

[steel hemlock]

ill be down to q for a few matches.

[steel hemlock]

and no i think ur completely right. i guess there's just nothing else you rly can say lol.

check dm

[dry marsh]

Nah, im just ball chasing

im not trying to keep pressure, i am the pressure

[dry marsh]

with the way you play 1s, i believe it

[cyan sage]

diamond 1 in snow day coach me

[dry marsh]

you can get, okay, but what are you

[dry marsh]

ballchase harder

whats your epic user, ill just stattracker you

Yeah, @cyan sage can coach you

that smiley leads me to believe i know you

but which troll you are, i dont know

[gloomy elk]

what is the quickest way to escape plat in 3's, besides saying 'just rotate'

[dry marsh]

the difference is @cyan sage is a little EU-ian

[dry marsh]

ballchase

@cyan sage ik you got nothing better to do, come coach

[gloomy elk]

what if my teammates suck at defending? just be goalkeeper?

[cyan sage]

js fell into a coma

[dry marsh]

if you get the ball and score, believe it or not, you dont need to defend

[dry marsh]

he's capping, im in a call with him rn

[cyan sage]

im paralyzed neck down

lost acces to my acc js now

[dry marsh]

he's capping, though it would explain his skill in 1s

[dry marsh]

My fault, ill give it back

[gloomy elk]

what about 1's? same tactic?

just ballchase

[dry marsh]

if you're below champ in 1s, just ballchase

[cyan sage]

hes capping he is a defense main

[dry marsh]

i ballchase below champ

[gloomy elk]

what should i do then?

[cyan sage]

ur bigger than the net all u do is sit in net

[dry marsh]

real

[gloomy elk]

ballchase to ssl 😎

[dry marsh]

boom the ball but with placement

[kindred trail]

Looks like people are not taking questions seriously anymore?:P

[cyan sage]

@dry marsh were banned gg

[dry marsh]

i mean tbf, thats literally all i do

[kindred trail]

Easy call right? Give him time….

[dry marsh]

NOOOOO, not the ban 😭 😭 😭 😭

[kindred trail]

Time makes main def people awkward

[gloomy elk]

any serious tip to escape plat in 3's?

[dry marsh]

ballchase

thats the serious tip, you just need to hit the ball on net

[kindred trail]

No

[cyan sage]

here comes the ban hammer🚅 choo choo

[gloomy elk]

ballchase doesnt always seem viable

[dry marsh]

it's plat, it's always viable

[kindred trail]

Think about this… if you believe you don’t belong in plat…. Then let your teammates do the job.

[dry marsh]

too much for plat

just boom the ball

[gloomy elk]

i thought i was fast at moving in plat but turns out im slow

[kindred trail]

If you score all shots you make… you can still lose….

[gloomy elk]

maybe my opponents are smurfs

[cyan sage]

in 2s

[dry marsh]

so you can just ballchase in plat

[gloomy elk]

nah i think i should be diamond lmao

[cyan sage]

its abt 1s

[gloomy elk]

on a good day

[kindred trail]

Your teammates are not fast enough to keep up with you… but you fast enough te back them up right?

[gloomy elk]

mostly yes

[kindred trail]

Then why try to carry the match yourself?

[kindred trail]

This

[gloomy elk]

half of them can score open nets but the other half make silver to gold level plays

[kindred trail]

If you defend all shots they make… you can’t lose:)

[dry marsh]

https://rocketleague.tracker.network/rocket-league/profile/epic/Tow-Mater.RL/overview I unbound drive forwards and boost and hit d3 on this account

[kindred trail]

Cant win either… but hey.. that’s where the teammates should come in;)

[cyan sage]

too much free time

[gloomy elk]

pretty sure its hard even for champs to 1v3 plats

[kindred trail]

Let me try:P

[gloomy elk]

plats surprisingly dont whiff the ball as much as you'd think

[cyan sage]

@dry marsh

[kindred trail]

True.. the part they whiff at is where the shoot the ball that they don’t whiff

Need coaching on what?

[gloomy elk]

so you drove backwards to d3?

[kindred trail]

Rank?

[cyan sage]

i can 1v5 a plat team

[dry marsh]

yes

[kindred trail]

Would love to see that haha

[cyan sage]

so would i

[kindred trail]

Lets make it happen xD

[gloomy elk]

sounds cap unless you are pro player tbh or your got carried

[kindred trail]

Well

[cyan sage]

like a full team of plat 2s players i can easy 1v5

gc2

[kindred trail]

I think the point he is making.. the plats will fight for the ball themselves

[cyan sage]

wouldnt make a big difference i think id still win

[kindred trail]

Friendly 1v1?

[cyan sage]

plat players are players that js started the game so its kinda hards for thyem to work together

[kindred trail]

You’ll beat me for sure.. but it’s been long since I got my ass kicked by a gc2

[cyan sage]

sure, boost my ego

[dry marsh]

its diamond and its 2s

you just need to hit the ball

[kindred trail]

People who talk like you talk… bro.. I don’t even question them anymore when they say they will win a 1v5 hahaha

All over the place xD

Last season c2

Why do people do air rolls for Ariana

Ariels

[vital grove]

Curiosity question. Is there a logical reason why people disconnect instead of quitting? Is DC somehow penalized less, or are they just salty?

[dim geyser]

turn off pc n go to ebd

bed

[dim geyser]

easier to control ball

u get less kick back from the ball and u can get better touches

[dry marsh]

@cyan sage can coach you

[cyan sage]

@dry marsh does coaching for free

[dry marsh]

@cyan sage coached me from plat 3 to champ 1 in about a week

[vast basalt]

I need help, i need to learn mechanics better

And how to areial

[frail peak]

same here

[lusty galleon]

ok practice them

usually coaching is most valuable to know what strategic mistakes you are making and what you need to work on

"i suck at hitting the ball in the air" isnt a problem that usually needs coaching, its a problem that needs practice

[vast basalt]

I didn't say anything about coaching, just wanted tips like what mechanics to do

[lusty galleon]

oh sorry everyone was asking so i assumed thats what you meant

[lusty galleon]

are you trying to learn to hit the ball in the air or to carry the ball in the air? cause the former is muuuuuch easier

[vast basalt]

Hit

I miss all the time, I can't get the angle right

[frail peak]

True thanks for the motivation

Btw whats the best controller for rl rn?

[vast basalt]

Now I'm asking for coaching

[cerulean flax]

prob a ps5 or xbox series elite

[lusty galleon]

yea controlling your car in the air is very precise and extremely unforgiving

practice double-jumping up into the air and hitting the ball using training packs

[frail peak]

Thats what im tell my friends

Finna get a ps5 one then

Mind helping me also of you get a chance?

[dry marsh]

@cyan sage can coach you

[vast basalt]

I responded

[dry marsh]

@cyan sage can coach you too, he got me from plat 3 to champ in a little over a week

[vast basalt]

Maybe another time

Someone got me from bronze to play in a day

[frail peak]

O alr

[tropic beacon]

any dribble tips

[dense parcel]

how tf do you hit a ball and time it

like whut

how to time yaaaaaaar

[lusty galleon]

omg pablo escobar!

[lusty galleon]

you play the game for thousands of hours

[lusty galleon]

🏴‍☠️

[cyan sage]

is air roll left or right important

[lusty galleon]

like continuous air roll (spinning to control the ball better) or just the binds?

[cyan sage]

jus the binds

[lusty galleon]

i mean i think its meta to have both bound instead of using free air roll but most people have free air roll + one direction bound (usually left)

[cyan sage]

i just have air roll and nothing else

[brittle marlin]

I use lb for left air roll and rb for right (xbox controller) and its comfortable 4 me

[latent sleet]

hey can someone use or usw watch my flip reset and tell my whats wrong sometimes its great sometimes its terrible

[frail zinc]

u got a clip u can send?

if so dm it and ill let you know

[daring matrix]

Well the car doesn't matter that much but yeah it's good to start early with like the fennec or the octane

And yeah if you are only silver all you need to focus on is hitting the ball really

I switch between the 2

[dusky fiber]

Yh the car doesnt rlly matter that much, depends on personal preference

[daring matrix]

As long as it's not the battle bus xD

wdym grog is cracked

My gc3 mate is real good with the grog I aint even gonna lie

[dusky fiber]

I mean can also be good lol, everyone has different feelings lol, scarab is also very underrated i feel like 👀

Can also be good for 50s etc, if u know how to play with it it works, wirh every car

[daring matrix]

Only problem is flip resetting with scarab is sooo bad

[dusky fiber]

Nahh they are good as hell, easy redet to get, good to use, or whats ur struggle there?

Yh depends on speed and positioning

Best rank, enjoy it while u can and have fun mate, the higher u get the more sweaty it is lol

[daring matrix]

Idk just doesnt make sense for me cuz I never play w the car

[dusky fiber]

In champ there is still much i feel like, but at like gc2 or higher its a lot about just getting more consistent

[dusky fiber]

Especially for 1s i feel like its cracked, good and fast flicks, good turns, etc.

[daring matrix]

Scarab? Are we talking about the same car here

[dusky fiber]

Usually there is more there to improve i feel like

[dusky fiber]

Yess

[daring matrix]

I will NOT agree with flicks

[dusky fiber]

Get a good replay, not at home rn, and playing together doesnt make much sense as u will play completely diffrent with me then with randoms in your lobby as u leave me more etc. For replay: ranked, pref close score, pref a game where u don’t know what u did wrong

[dusky fiber]

Especially flicks are one of the most powerful thing of scarab i feel like

Depends, short time improvement: get a mate, long term: solo q

[daring matrix]

Anyways enough of that I dont play scarab so dont care

[dusky fiber]

Fair

[lusty galleon]

short term: get a mate
long term: seriously get a mate. multiple ideally so someone's always available

[dusky fiber]

Yh, usually there are 2 types, more defensive or more offensive, and when u play with the same dude whole time u improve much in one of that and lack in the other, in solo q u always need to adapt, yh in higher level it doesnt matter thaat much but especially when one is lower and climbs i feel like solo q can rlly help, but yh might be frustrating sometimes

[daring matrix]

Idk what y'all yapping about solo q can help just as much as playing w mates solo q imroves you as a player and your individual skill and adapting skills and with make you can imrove passing, teamplay rotations and stuff and maybe rank up more like that but both are good

[dusky fiber]

Usually the one who is just blaming mates for not getting higher is the one in the lobby that sucks the most, yh he might have more points but that also comes when u chase, etc.

[daring matrix]

Mechs are not the essential of the game... but shadow defense sure would help

[dusky fiber]

U will find a way to play around him, thats what u need to do in solo q, if u just blame him and say thats why u loose u wont get higher

[daring matrix]

Did we just get c1 and high level in the same sentece or what

[dusky fiber]

Nah dont expect that, thats the mistakes, often people who are champ in 2s are like max plat in 1s, how should they be able to know what to do in 1s then?

Yh, but i say usually, usually a champ in 2s is between low plat-low dia, or they dont ever play 1s, either one pf that, and then how should they know how to play 1s, thats why u dont leave him in 1v1, if u do its also your mistake not just his @surreal ermine

It always depends who u ask, for me and many others champ is also a free elo, u dont need to stay back 100%, just find ways to cover, be more in rotation, dont overcommit, etc. thats how u dont leave him alone, and u shouldnt do that, if u do its also your mistake, start to think like this, u will get much higher

[untold bridge]

if you dive at something that you cant get to its your fault

fake chal and keep advantage ^^

[dusky fiber]

Yh as he says, know when to commit, just cause he passes doesnt mean u need to fully go there

[untold bridge]

if ur ever uncomfortable or unsure how the play will go, always fake chal

if you think you can get to it then sure but if you think you can and you dont then its on you

you shouldnt be counting how many times you go

there shouldnt be any numbers saying you stay back however much of the time or you challenge however nany times a game

adaptability is what matters

you read the play and adapt

[dusky fiber]

Yh always depends how your mate is and whats his playstyle

[untold bridge]

in any rank under gc2 id try to not play with your teammates agenda and instead play your own game

[dusky fiber]

Then easy, playing passive, adapting, going behind him so he forces out every flick, save passes where u can easy rotate back so he doesnt chase u etc.

[untold bridge]

playing independently is currently the 2s meta

[dusky fiber]

If u know how your mate plays its easy to use him for your advantage

[untold bridge]

if your teammate forces a flick you should never get beat to the ball

[dusky fiber]

Especially on defense a chaser is nice, cause he usually forces out the flick and u are behind him and can do something

I find it way harder playing with a passive dude, cause u need to be the person to bait out the flick, obv i can also fake challenge but cant do that every time, so i need to trust him sometimes, and i trust me more

[untold bridge]

it doesnt depend, as long as teammate forces at the right time and you have proper positioning, it should never be a beat

[untold bridge]

you definitely can fake challenge every time at least once

theres no downside to it

[dusky fiber]

Yh i usually do that, theb he flicks, i let me mate go for it and i go behind

[untold bridge]

yeah

faking into a shadow defense into another fake is lethal all the way up to 2k

they almost always give away possession

[dusky fiber]

But i m around gc3 usually this fake challenges are not that easy anymore, at least if i compare it to like low gc or under

[untold bridge]

its still easy, just different

[dusky fiber]

Yh ig

[untold bridge]

below like champ you turn at all and the opps give you the ball every single time

transitioning from gc3-ssl requires creativity in that

[dusky fiber]

Yh ik, have myself many issues i would need to work on lol

[untold bridge]

lmao

what region?

[dusky fiber]

Have champ rewards i m happy if i get my rewards done, thats how much i m playing xD

[dusky fiber]

EU

[untold bridge]

ah, i have like 1k games of 2s this season 😭

[dusky fiber]

Jesus thats much, but thats how u improve and get better, not with a playstyle like me 😂

[untold bridge]

exactly

grinding is the fast track to improvement

[dusky fiber]

Just a bit tired of it tbh, have been gc since last season 9, so many years now, because of uni etc dont have the time but more not the motivation to rlly grind 😅

[untold bridge]

ahh

yea im slightly younger than uni age so i have lots of time to grind, i started right before free to play and havent stopped hella grinding since

youre overthinking watching what your teammate does instead of playing your own game

[dusky fiber]

Nice keep it on u got this mate, wirh all these young players and talented new skills etc i feel like i already retired lol, but i dont take it serious anymore rather playing for fun for the last seasons 🙂

[untold bridge]

lmao, W that it is still fun however many years later

implementing fake chals is key in any playlist

try to do it more in 2s if you feel ur tm screws you over

[dusky fiber]

Yh love the game, after the sweaty phase i like it even more lol

[untold bridge]

remember to shadow defend and throw in fake challenged all the way to your back post

dont just insta go back post or the flicks will be more deadly

[untold bridge]

thats fire, i do notice the game does become stale or annoying when i play for improvement and not for fun lmao

[dusky fiber]

Yup, rollercoster of feelings when grinding i know it myself 😂

[untold bridge]

you said you retreated to back post, which is something you should never do

you should be shadow defending your way to back post instead of going all the way to back post, turning around, and then fake challenging

still no lol

fake challenges in corner are even better bc they throw the ball past ur net and you get boost and ball up the opposite wall

[untold bridge]

fr lmao, nothing like deleting an entire day of elo gain over an hour of poor gameplay

realistically diamond opponents wont score that

ik that because ssls dont

champs do not either

from corner they do not score it if you play it properly

no one places a good flick in dia-low gc more than 5% of the time

let them take their shot instead of turning towards them and make them have to get a very good shot to get it in

arguably the biggest jungle in the game lmao

early champ is just incredibly inconsistent and late champ is incredibly panicked

the ones who can airdribble musty double have no brain

hardcarried by mechs lmao

[candid dragon]

I am finding it very difficult to get further than plat 2 with my duo partner. Is there any mechanics i need to learn?

[frail zinc]

power shots, bounce dribbles, fast aerials/aerial consistency, aerial shots, wavedashes for recoveries, proper challenging when you have two people back (forcing the shot or flick ect), boost managment, pathing for pads, wall touches, half flips, using powerslide for recovieries

prob everything you need to get to like mid diamond low champ

[long island]

halp, i just got a controller and cant do anything with it.. i used to be decent on kb and now im tryna learn controller to evolve further but my brain cant brain

[frail zinc]

but lots of that stuff is rudimentary

[dusky fiber]

Just takes some time u will get it 🙂

[long island]

do both of you know how to half flip?

[frail zinc]

unfortunantley unless ur binds are chalked kinda just a skill issue and takes time till u adjust

[frail zinc]

real forgot that

[long island]

like i used to be a literal god at half flips on kb and now i cant even properly spin in air on controller bcs my adhd brain cant brain enough

[candid dragon]

I do some what, him no

[long island]

been cursing myself for the past 15mins and have landed a total of 3 or 4 half flips that were at least decent..

[long island]

they are p important for rotates even later on

if you want i can try and help with them @candid dragon

[frail zinc]

double tap jump while your left stick is around either 5 oclock or 7 and then push straight up when ur nose points at the roof

[daring matrix]

Umm What? I don't think that works

[frail zinc]

it does

faster then a striaht backflip cancel with airroll

as the cancel itself turns ur car

[long island]

im tryna learn them reverse aswell, so i can go from facing where im going to facing where i came from

[daring matrix]

But why 5 or 7 tho?

[frail zinc]

you u do a diagonal backflip

[long island]

in other words to flip from going forwards to going backwards

[daring matrix]

You dont have to

[candid dragon]

Sadly, i am going to be heading to bed soon. I have work tomorrow

[frail zinc]

then when you cancel it rotates ur car like a half flip

[frail zinc]

wdym

[long island]

oh right, didnt even realise to ask for timezones LOL im from EU soz

[daring matrix]

You can do a straight backflip then cancel aswell and just air roll it that is easier

[long island]

nope it aint, just proved you wrong

[frail zinc]

argubaly the same difficulty and is slower

[candid dragon]

America Lol

[frail zinc]

then the other way

[long island]

BCS THIS FKIN WORKED THANK YOU OMFG!!

[frail zinc]

np ggs

[daring matrix]

Well it's simpler for complete beginners to do just backflip but whatever works

[frail zinc]

i mean DV is a beginner

[long island]

with controller, yes

[frail zinc]

so idk, less inputs

[long island]

with kb i have 500h and my 1st ever game i was already doing perfect half flips so idk about beginner

hour amount, very much so, considering i did start 2018 LOL

now my next issue is air control

[frail zinc]

I mean he said doing it the other way would be easier for beginners and you whos brand new on controller did it like first try the way I said after failing doing it the other way

[long island]

didnt have amazing on kb but i managed most of the time, now my brain cant brain bcs i need to hold down a button if i wanna spin differently

[frail zinc]

if ur on pc rings brute force

[long island]

wym brute force?
