[frail zinc]

after getting basics down flying cross bar to cross bar

like just spam fail it till u dont suck basicallyt

[long island]

you want me to do that?

just basic science? trial and error?

[frail zinc]

I mean technically the fastest way

once u can like fly around the field without falling on the ground

[long island]

eh lets go, weekend already almost around the corner so i can just 72h curse at myself :D

[frail zinc]

can you fly around the field yet without hitting the ground?

[long island]

just did

[frail zinc]

kk then ya just run some rings going slow

[long island]

so go around field slow? no ground touch?

how many?

[frail zinc]

in free play if u can do circles around the kickoff ball then ur good for rings

[long island]

i did like 3.5, that enough?

they werent smooth either...

[frail zinc]

I mean

might as well try and see how bad it is

[long island]

wdym?

[frail zinc]

rings?

or did u mean 3.5 levels

[long island]

wym rings?

i did like 3.5 circles around the kickoff ball until my brain stopped braining again and i fell

[daring matrix]

Do you know custom maps and are you on pc?

[frail zinc]

he said he used to be kbm so figured he was pc

[long island]

oh you meant the custom map

yeyeye i got that, imma do that a bit later, got stuff to do now

[random marsh]

Any1 on ps willing to train me for now ?

Coach me?

Any platform

[frail zinc]

I can send u some training stuff

@random marsh interested?

[random marsh]

Sure

[frail zinc]

dmd

[random marsh]

[frail zinc]

I dmd u

[cyan sage]

Guys, does anyone know what's better normal air roll or left-right air roll

TF R U MESSAGING💀 (been deleted btw)

[mint lion]

Dont be and idiot and youll get ssl

litterly

[daring matrix]

Air roll right or left or both is better but keep normal air roll binded

You need normal for recoveries etc.

[modest tusk]

Guys, people seem to be able to track my rank during the game somehow, and because im gc in 3s everyone is super toxic and im just getting demo chased. Like i feel im specifically being targeted to not do anything because they think im good or trying to be toxic

Same for teammates, like they sabotage me and call out my rank in another gamemode and its so annoying

Can i disable tracking somehow?

[daring matrix]

Simple answer no

[modest tusk]

I guess i could derank or smurf on another acount, but thats not my intention

Well, that sucks

[daring matrix]

And if you were actually better you could dodge most of them and that immediately makes the demo chaser useless so idk

[modest tusk]

I have chat disabled but i still feel overly targeted. Like, as soon as im on the ball i have 0 freedom or demos impending. Im getting better st dodging but theres also people clearly better than me in my games so cant avoid much

[daring matrix]

I mean I could take a look once I am home if u got replays

[modest tusk]

Obviously i can dodge most demos, but dodging already forces you into less options, i can never make my game

I dont have a specific save, if i play later ill try to save something

Atleast im getting practice with demo dodging

[proud vapor]

why do i throw

[modest tusk]

Its just stupid cause i somehow now understand 3s rotation really well and position good, but my 2s gamesense got things mixed up and im not playing super well. Then everyone brings up my 3s rank which has no correlation

Its not even that high you feel me, im not exactly good, just lucky atm

[spring tide]

can somebody send me a 2s rotations video? I only keep finding for 3s

[cyan sage]

lf someone to coach me. i need to get some advice

[drowsy oyster]

@cyan sage

[hasty oracle]

I tried right left but it was uncomfortable but if I stay on normal will I not rank up or will I be bad?

[daring matrix]

Well not necessarily but I very very very highly recommend one of the directionals and it is gonna feel uncomfortable for the 1st few weeks of course but it is a game changer when you get it down

[safe barn]

lf someone to coach me

[dry marsh]

Just ballchase in 2s

[silver edge]

doesnt work, teammates just cut

[dry marsh]

What rank are you

[silver edge]

d2/d3

[dry marsh]

Yeah just ballchase, if you’re getting beat to the ball you just have to be faster

[silver edge]

doesnt matter how fast i go, teammate is already slow
he just double commits and its open

instead of going back, he will then also cut in front with zero boost while im also going

[dry marsh]

What does him double committing have to do with anything

If you score you dont have to defend

[silver edge]

how am i going to score with 2 defenders

[dry marsh]

Even if he cuts, you can just beat him

[dry marsh]

They’re diamond, it might as well be an open net

[silver edge]

i rarely get open nets

there is always someone back

[dry marsh]

But the person back is diamond

Just hit the ball behind them

Flick it, drop it, 50 it, be on the ball

[silver edge]

i cant, if i beat one, my teammate is nowhere to be found

teammates are no help

[formal obsidian]

can any1 coach me? im P3/D1 been hardstuck for 2 years

[manic leaf]

sure I could help you

[manic leaf]

@formal obsidian

[dry marsh]

Beat both

[silver edge]

ya your lost

just gonna wait for someone who knows what they are talking about

[dry marsh]

The one thats lost is you in diamond

[silver edge]

your prob at best gold

[dry marsh]

Real, my fault

@mortal quail can you confirm ballchasing is meta

If you only want gc

Also get off genshin smh

[mortal quail]

uh no

[dry marsh]

Uh yes

[silver edge]

can you give me tips for hardstuck d3

[dry marsh]

Uh no

[mortal quail]

Diamond: Stop tilt queueing, give your teammate space, get better at punishing your opponents. This can be done with good shooting and reads. Starting defending off backboard and get better at doing it. See the enemy up high, go backboard. Get better at basic aerials and wall touches as these can be vital. Get better at offense without sacrificing defense

[dry marsh]

Send the copy paste

He’s alr ahead of me

Peak coaching

[dry marsh]

What if you’re me in diamond, what should I do

[silver edge]

idk what tilt queueing is, but i do everything else, i score most of the goals and have good reads. only time we get scored on is if there is an open net because teammate

[dry marsh]

Rip, he’s got the diamond mental

Tilt queueing is queueing while tilted (mad)

[mortal quail]

its when your mad or upset but keep queueing, also if a lot of the goals are because net is open, its likely your not rotating back enough leaving net open, if anything most of your goals should be open nets as you defend shots, diamonds overcommit a lot and you prob do as well

[dry marsh]

@mortal quail stop egoing me

Do your moderator duties

[mortal quail]

play 3s

[silver edge]

i dont tilt queue then, after 3 losses i stop

[dry marsh]

You’ve seen me in 3s, whats 3s gonna do for my diamond 2s rank

Idk if i can hit champ without binding drive forwards

[silver edge]

my god your annoying

[dry marsh]

You’re*

@mortal quail this guy’s literally you

It’s peak

[mortal quail]

rude

[silver edge]

guess you are 12 huh

[dry marsh]

How do you troll yourself two fold is the real question

[dry marsh]

Im 13

[silver edge]

gold and 12 talking shit on discord

[dry marsh]

13*

[silver edge]

@mortal quail if i send you a replay, can you help me

[mortal quail]

give me like 15

[dry marsh]

Coach me @mortal quail

[silver edge]

why did i get warned for

[dry marsh]

Maybe for being underage?

Just installed?

@mortal quail can prob help you

[mortal quail]

im not coaching anyone else

[dry marsh]

@cyan sage depending on how old you are ero might still coach you

As you can see he’s currently playing genshin

Damn, dont think he’ll coach you

[mortal quail]

i dont coach under diamond

@dry marsh does tho

[dry marsh]

You’re under diamond tho?

One day ero will learn how to rotate in 3s

He keeps ending up infront of my car frfr

@umbral crag can confirm

[mortal quail]

2 seconds from being blocked

[dry marsh]

Arent you coaching rn?

[mortal quail]

nope

changed my mind

your fault

[dry marsh]

Ah, dude must’ve been too old

@cyan sage just keep playing, you dont need a coach at silver since it’s mainly just building muscle memory and a feel for the game

He just likes moderating

And getting annoyed

[dry marsh]

You manage to hit the ball properly yet

I can play backwards with boost unbound and be your rank

[craggy patio]

This might be too specific but does anyone have a training pack for when you’re on the opposing teams backboard and have to jump and hit the ball into their net

[ionic monolith]

Drive on the backboard and use the free play pass key to pass it to yourself

@dry marsh you’re peak coach

[dry marsh]

Real

[rustic mirage]

Guys i am plat 2 and hit this but i am hard stuck for 2 years

Dm me to see

[forest nacelle]

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

All regions too btw and pc and console

[plucky gyro]

Anyone got a decent defending training pack with over 20 shots?

[cyan sage]

For some reason I only play good in like gc lobbies. It’s like I play trash in champ but the moment I play with a gc im playing like a god. Then I get mad at myself wondering why I can’t play the same way in champ lobbies

It was the same when I was d2 whenever I would play in champ lobbies I played way better than in diamond 2

The limit for when I stop being able to keep up is about gc 3

[plucky gyro]

Because champ & gc lobbies are full of smurfs, try hards & people who are genuinely stuck in that rank that are much worse than everyone else

Too easy mate

Need a harder training pack

[cyan sage]

The only thing I think could be affecting this is my adhd. Basically. The brain only performs well under high pressure situations. Only then is when it actually will make me play my best

[plucky gyro]

I have adhd too 😂 feel you there

[cyan sage]

Any other situation like if I’m playing a silver. My brain like dumbs down my play style because well. There’s no need to go full skill on a silver 2

[plucky gyro]

I’m Irish mate

[cyan sage]

I just don’t know how to have my brain always have me play my best

[plucky gyro]

In the UK Skanker means you’re a big raver 😂😂

[cyan sage]

So the reason why I like to be in gc lobbies is because my brain performs best in high pressure situations. So naturally it tries to put me in high pressure situations

[plucky gyro]

I’m stuck in champ 1, my lobbies are always full of ex gcs doing flip resets & pojos which I can’t do either but I can defend most of them & my team mates are either carrying me or really shite

[cyan sage]

Is anyone here a coach

[plucky gyro]

You in EU?

[cyan sage]

#trading-discussion

[plucky gyro]

I spend more time in free play and training packs than anything so always working on aerials but most my team mates can’t see to pass in the air 😂

[cyan sage]

I lost to a diamond 1 1s player but won against a champion 1 1s player who is an active coach

[plucky gyro]

If you play drop shot & hoops they’re really good for working on aerials especially Air roll left/right. I use air roll left

Hoops the best for fast aerials

Honestly it’s not that bad 😂

I’m trying to get out of diamond 3 in 3s

3s are really annoying

[red mesa]

I used to be champ 2 in 3s

Got annoying after a while because ppl didn't know what they were doing.

[midnight eagle]

how can I get to champ before the season ends

[fast gate]

What are you at right now?

[abstract shore]

hello can someone help me to get diamond i am plat 3 div 3

[midnight eagle]

d3

div 1

[fast gate]

Have done some oof the season rewards for champ?

[midnight eagle]

what rewards

[fast gate]

Like have you filled out some of the 1/10 wins in champ to get the champ season rewards?

[midnight eagle]

i think i didn't

[solar beacon]

yo an anyone here coach me?

[sly cave]

lol nah

im only plat since i dropped out of dim 1 div 4

cuz of teamates

[solar beacon]

alr

[sly cave]

and its attualy cuz of teamates

[solar beacon]

can anyonwe coach me im c1

[solar beacon]

its never team8s u just need to adjust to them

[sly cave]

so

ur saying that its not my teamates fault after every like 3 games i get a leaver he joins back and own goals

and the other 2 games i get like 4x their score /:

while they sit on a boost pad then ariel and go a wa da woo

i mean its plat

so i dont expect mutch

but i expect my mates to atleast be there if the ball gets saved so he can shoot

monku

whats ur rank cuz if ur saying ones are bad ur below plat

ones are like the best way to get better

[solar beacon]

rank sucks bro in lower ranks cuz if u think u know everything ur team8s dont

u need to adjust to them

[sly cave]

nah im not saying that

i know i suck if i didnt i could 2v1 and rank up

im saying its harder too when ur teamates dont pass or follow up on stuff

i try to rotate around them but no luck

cant rotate around a boost pad

[solar beacon]

if u have like 2 good d1s right that work together and play good together and have coms what u coulkd do is go to looking for group and find someone and com with them

[sly cave]

ye

[solar beacon]

so do that

[sly cave]

i got a teamate and whenever we play we rank up

but he is on like for 1 hr a week

[solar beacon]

so play with him

[sly cave]

and i cant find another one cuz lfg is all na

and everyone that is in eu is either gold or ssl

[solar beacon]

well for me solo q is awful i wouldnt solo que at all just try to find someone u can play with

[sly cave]

plat 2 atm peak d1 div 4

also just cuz im plat atm dosent mean i cant hit the ball

stupid steriotypes

[solar beacon]

we know

[sly cave]

the only reson i dont come in here asking for coaching is cuz everyone just sais ur plat ur bad get better

ik im bad but telling me that isnt gonna help

[solar beacon]

im not gonna lie to u bro i was like d1 or d2 like a month ago i got some coaching and a team8 and im up to c1 now all it takes is for u to know ur mistakes and practice and get a team8 and it will help trust

[sly cave]

yeah

ive been tryna get a teamate for awhile

either they block me cuz we lose one after going on a 8 game streak or they just dont pass or rotate

[solar beacon]

yeah\

[sly cave]

everyday i play with my buddy we get like +80

and i dont want a mate who is just hard comming all the time

i wanna have fun too xd

[solar beacon]

just try finding someone ur chill with

[sly cave]

yeah i like goofing around but i still comm and everything

[solar beacon]

i was gonna say thatntoo lol

[sly cave]

ill pass

dont like boosting smurfs ruin the game

[plucky gyro]

I love playing with lower ranks tbh

My alt account is in diamond 2 I think

[solar beacon]

LOL

[sly cave]

so ur smurfing

in a rank that u dont belong in

[solar beacon]

blud dont want people smurfing LOL

[plucky gyro]

na my alt was champ but I don’t play on it and now it’s diamond 2 since I lost like 300 mmr when the seasons updated

[sly cave]

so whats ur main?

[mortal quail]

tldr he just offered boosting

[solar beacon]

yo whats ur main?

[sly cave]

ye

[plucky gyro]

I’m not GC if that’s what you’re asking 😂😂

[sly cave]

boosting is just sad ngl

[solar beacon]

im c1 if u wanna run some games if ur close to that

[forest nacelle]

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

All regions too btw and pc and console

[plucky gyro]

I was close to C2 on my main but C1 is full of ex gcs

[mortal quail]

wait bros c1

[solar beacon]

very tru thats kinda whyn im waiting a lil

[true wing]

im unranked

[plucky gyro]

I practise against GC regularly and win most of them

[mortal quail]

but you cant get c2 because its full of gcs ?

[plucky gyro]

Yeah it is

[dusty niche]

how do i post in the lfg lol

[plucky gyro]

Or inconsistent noobs

the skill variety is crazy

[cyan sage]

C2 is so free

I was just chilling in c2 getting those easy wins earlier and it was great

[signal lintel]

"I can't get to [rank] because it is full of [higher rank]"
Absolute classic

[cyan sage]

Sur3

[junior cape]

anybody know any good mechanics for daimand players to work on?

[true wing]

chat

how do i get good kickoffs

no i mean i genuienely dont know how to kickoff

i just run into the ball and flip at the end

[sly cave]

just try to learn speedflips attualy nvm just do the fast kickoff look it up

[forest nacelle]

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

All regions too btw and pc and console

[cyan sage]

120g?

[cyan sage]

Maybe

[cyan sage]

😮

How's life

[spring tide]

Can anyone help me? (D2-3)

[cyan sage]

its definitely something

i need a coach

[cyan sage]

lf someone to help me get the hell out of diamond i cant anymore

[violet pewter]

I’m just overall bad at the game I’ve been playing for like a 1 year and I’m just awful does anyone have any tips that would help (yes I play for atleast 1 hour daily unless I’m sick etc.)

[cyan sage]

Sure dm me

[wild nacelle]

anyone got anytips on how to play faster in gc1/gc2 lobbies?

[lyric roost]

Fr bruh

[wild nacelle]

how can i manage my boost whilst rotating properly?

k thx

lol

[signal lintel]

Living one of the lives of all time

[cyan sage]

Drive faster

[wild nacelle]

lol there is a max speed limit you know lmao

[cyan sage]

Yep go at that speed

Then u will be speedy

[wild nacelle]

ik lol

[floral vapor]

bending your run better

positioning

[cyan sage]

Bending is so op

[floral vapor]

playing slower

[cyan sage]

Oh what's the issue then

[floral vapor]

half turn

[supple moth]

lol people in this discord barely respond properly lol. But to manage boost, watch boosts paths photos on google. There is one that runs like this () up and down the field, use that to rotate back! If you are rotating back on defense, avoid mid if there’s no time,

[dry marsh]

disagree, just path for the big boost

[wild nacelle]

finally a good answer lol thanks man that helps a lot will use this when trying to move around the field in a smarter way

[dry marsh]

wait avoid mid???

😭 bro got real troll advice

[wild nacelle]

what rank r u one day?

[dry marsh]

I just ballchase and boom the ball

[wild nacelle]

lol

thats prob why ur a low rank

[dry marsh]

real, thats why im gc

im actually your rank 💀

we're both low rank, just how it is

[wild nacelle]

real

[dry marsh]

what rank are you currently, you said gc1/gc2

[supple moth]

i said if he has no time, no point in going for big boost if the opponents score. If you have time, take it obviously

[wild nacelle]

gc1 div 4 rn

[dry marsh]

yeah we're the same rank, we both suck unlucky

[wild nacelle]

fr

[dry marsh]

I hit a 10am queue into a 1700 lobby, peaking

[dry marsh]

nah, i'd get mid and still save, it's gc1, opponents arent shooting that

[supple moth]

why?

[dry marsh]

cause i can

[supple moth]

whats the logic tho? why go out of your way to grab the mid when you can get back quicker following the path? I am actually curious

[dry marsh]

full boost is 100, path is 60ish

[supple moth]

lol i thought you were gonna have something wise to say, i see why you are stuck in gc2

[sturdy forge]

U can save most shots with 2 pads in gc1 unless it's an absolute clanger

[dry marsh]

you can save all shots with 1 pad

[cyan sage]

same!!

[maiden arch]

anyone here have an alt acc

[south holly]

@maiden archme

[signal lintel]

no

[pure creek]

why don't ppl like 3's

[buoyant rapids]

fre coaching gold to dim 3

[lusty galleon]

lacks the individuality of 2s or 1s
all plays need to be fast af

psyonix made the soccar field back when everyone was garbage at the game, no air plays or dribbling
now that people are much more advanced, plays take up more spaces
and 3s feels overcrowded

if rlcs was 2s i would actually care

[pure creek]

ahh ok

[lusty galleon]

there are still people that love 3s

to each their own

but theres a reason why 2s is the most popular mode

[sharp moth]

anyone know what boost azapatoes uses?

[lusty galleon]

cant you go on their liquidpedia page or something

[scenic ruin]

ima commit

[dry marsh]

scoring open nets

[junior cape]

what are good mechs to have for plat

[pliant prawn]

Yo I need a rl coach at least c3 dm me

[finite latch]

How do i get out of gold 3

Div 1

Pls

[brittle marlin]

Practice

[cyan sage]

Learn your rotations and maybe how to kick off that's how I got to diamond

[lusty galleon]

you have almost no hours in rocket league

practice hitting the ball into the net. nothing else

diamond within 2 weeks if you can hit the ball with power into the net

shooting, possesion outplay. like cut or flick.

[civic pendant]

Diamond and hitting the ball with power aren’t two things that really fit together

[lusty galleon]

yea most diamonds are pretty bad at it

cause they spend their time learning breezi flick and flip reset or whatever

[civic pendant]

Do diamonds actually do that?

From my experience playing against them in casual/extra modes they can barely hit the ball let alone do any kind of mechanic besides maybe a scuffed air dribble

Never even seen an air dribble from someone below champ 2 tbh

[halcyon verge]

I'm hereeeee

[trail patrol]

Am gold/plat and can do

[daring matrix]

You one of those I am plat and can flip reset dudes?

[halcyon verge]

yo can someone give me tips to get out of c1

I keep winning then losing

[civic pendant]

Then there’s something else seriously wrong with your gameplay 😭

[lusty galleon]

no not really.
but they practice it!

[halcyon verge]

??

[lusty galleon]

i mean it depends on what your weaknesses are

practice actually making plays that can outplay a challenge at any time

like a cut or dribble

[vocal pagoda]

hi yall im gold, need help with an issue impacting my games a lot. basically when i go to hit the ball i kind of like sideflip into it and it ends up like a really pathetic shot

clip of what im describing https://imgur.com/a/DEqzJkq

[cyan sage]

at your rank id say focus on front flipping or if u can diagonal flip however it would have been more powerful if u hit the ball in the center (in the clip)

[orchid hollow]

Any recommendations for a power slide button? It currently shares LB with air roll left. Can be an issue landing sometimes. c:

[spring tide]

LT

for air roll

[daring matrix]

is it the upper button or lower. Idk I play ps controller

[orchid hollow]

It would be my L1 rn.

[orchid hollow]

Don’t see any issues effecting me slowing down or reversing? Or should I change my reverse, it’s not as heavily used anyways.

[daring matrix]

Idk what the issue might be cuz is I have mine on L1

[orchid hollow]

When I land, if I press my power slide, if i press just barely too early, it’ll tilt my car and mess up my wave dash/landing because it shares the same controls as my air roll left.

It’s not in a bad spot, I’m proficient with it, was curious if anyone else had any better spot (I know it’s preference mostly.) just wanted to try to make the little things I do in game more consistent.

[daring matrix]

ah I see the issue is that you have directional air roll on it while I just have the normal air roll which is not a issue in the slightest but directional and powerslide in the same button is a no go

[orchid hollow]

Ohhh that makes sense haha, Yeahhhh it’s very hard to wavedash with them together. Maybe I can try to get more used to air roll, I’m so bad at non directional😅

Does non directional make freestyles harder? I enjoy dabbling in it but don’t want to throw out my ability to.

[daring matrix]

I have directional on the other like R1 button and normal and powerslide in L1 and I use L1 specifcally for recoveries and dashes and small adjustements and R1 for aerial plays

[orchid hollow]

Okayyy, I can fuck with those controls, and I honestly didn’t know people used the non directional for different reasons In my over 7 years of playing this game 😅

[orchid hollow]

Thanks for the tips and such! It’s always appreciated, refreshing too considering how awful playing the game and tolerating the game chat can be when I solo Q. Hope you have a good day! Thanks again ~ c:

[daring matrix]

Of course always happy to help 👍

[spring tide]

I thought you had the normal air roll, I keep my directional air roll on X and B

[idle temple]

If anybody need some coaching from a gc 1 hit me up

[cyan sage]

Stop trolling

[daring matrix]

While yes some 1700-1800 lobbies are faster. That is not how you play the game. I won't type a super long explanation but if you think the reason for not ranking up is something to do with speed you would be absolutely wrong

absolutely

pro's just generally make them less

like for example a 1925 might backflip/sideflip accidentally every 3rd game and pro 2300+ mmr every 7th to give some context. Might not be true at all but this is the basic idea

👍

[wispy herald]

how do i deal with bad teammates?

[orchid hollow]

Reflect.

All jokes aside, get a tm8 then.

[wispy herald]

i just cant

im a c1 peak, i can air dirbble and flick consistently, flip reset from time to time, dropped to p3 in this season and can't find a player this rank that rotates + keeps up with me

im just trying to score all the goals and be everywhere all at once in my games

[mortal quail]

Maybe your playing too fast and need to slow it down and make it simple

[wispy herald]

how would that help

[mortal quail]

Your trying to hard carry which isn't working
So go with playing a support player. Play around your teammate instead of them playing around you.

Play more passive and focus on counter attacks

[wispy herald]

okay i'll try

[mortal quail]

Another option like he said is to find a teammate, however you'd have to find a plat teammate and accept that is where you are at

[wispy herald]

i won this game

hovewer i believe my tm8 was a smurf

[wispy herald]

okay that worked

my teammate scored 66% of the goals and i won

ty ❤️

[trail smelt]

alright so im hardstuck diamond 1 but every high level player i meet says i have champ level skill but i still just cant breaknout of diamond

[mortal quail]

Like I told the guy above
You may have champ level skill, but if your teamplay doesn't match, you'll permanently lose, its a team game.

[trail smelt]

but how am i supposed to find champ lvl tm8s in diamond

[woeful raft]

ill help ya.

[wispy herald]

i just did

few games ago i found a d3 peak teammate

got +50 mmr partying up with him

[woeful raft]

whats your peak phonesis?

[wispy herald]

c1

[mortal quail]

Get to champ first
If you cant win against diamonds with a diamond teammate, you aren't beating Champs with a champ teammate

[wispy herald]

.

my peak rank ^

[trail smelt]

idk im champ lvl in 1s idk about 2s i get a lot more nervous in 2s

[wispy herald]

whats ur rank in 1s?

[trail smelt]

d3

[wispy herald]

oh wow

why are you in diamond 1

[trail smelt]

no clue

[wispy herald]

im around d1 and a champ too, maybe we can run some 2s

[cyan sage]

Must have a 🤏🧠

[wispy herald]

well if he is d3 in 1s he must have one

[cyan sage]

Any Advice for a plat1 div3

[wispy herald]

in fact he must be pretty good

[cyan sage]

D3 in 1s isn't hard

[mortal quail]

2s require more brain

Since you have a random teammate every game you have to adapt to

[cyan sage]

1s is just save ball recover well score 👏

[wispy herald]

yes, but 1s knowlenge is crucial in 2s too
if he is truly d3 in 1s that alone should be enough to win in d1 2s right?

[wispy herald]

isnt this like c3 converted to 2s?

[cyan sage]

No u can't convert ranks 😃

[wispy herald]

😭

[cyan sage]

I'm gc3 in 1s and gc3 in 2s 🙂

[mortal quail]

Nope, usually players are better at 2s due to teammates
But just because your better at 1s it won't translate to 2s

Your skill will, but not gameplay wise. He just needs to change his playstyle to better accommodate 2s

[cyan sage]

guys I'm plat1 div3 in 2s
and gold1 div4 Any advice for that?

i really need it

[wispy herald]

it depends on what are you having problems with

[cyan sage]

Likely everything if he's plat

[cyan sage]

i can do everything a diamond can do

[cyan sage]

Teehe

[wispy herald]

mind if i check that?

[cyan sage]

I'm not online rn

and i dont have clips

U cant do everything a diamond does

Because a diamond can be diamond and u can't do that 😙

[strange thistle]

Hit the ball forward

[trail smelt]

lol

[cyan sage]

but is having bad teammates bad

teammates that assist there openness and score own goals?

opponents*

[strange thistle]

Buddy Your team mates will be ass but same with your opponents don't blame being in plat on your team mates 💀

[wispy herald]

nah being plat is the reason of bad teammates

[strange thistle]

Nah if you're plat your ass

[wispy herald]

give valid tips or leave

[strange thistle]

I did

Look up

[wispy herald]

hit the ball?

[strange thistle]

Forward

[wispy herald]

this must be a joke

[strange thistle]

Most people can't do that in plat

[wispy herald]

ur confusing plat with bronze

[strange thistle]

Ok... Hit the ball forwards at the net with power and accuracy

[wispy herald]

🦂

[cyan sage]

LOOK

[strange thistle]

That's a solid tip

[wispy herald]

thats not what people are looking for

[strange thistle]

Well if you wanna get out of plat do that

[cyan sage]

MY OPPONENTS R TEAMED UP AND MY ASS TEAMMATE KEPT PLAYING 1V3

[strange thistle]

Plats aren't good

[wispy herald]

try finding a teammate on this server

[strange thistle]

No just solo queue lol it's easy to get out of platinum

[cyan sage]

I'm playing on ME💀

Bro want proof

i can flip reset

i can double tap

[strange thistle]

💀

[cyan sage]

i can pinch

[wispy herald]

solo qing is the worst you can do

[cyan sage]

NAH FR

[strange thistle]

These plats smh

[wispy herald]

pinching is not a mech you brag about

[strange thistle]

Solo queue is not the worst thing you can do and you can maybe flip reset 0.01% of the time

[cyan sage]

I pinch without jump💀

[wispy herald]

prove that

[strange thistle]

Prove what

[wispy herald]

the claim that solo q is good

to me its counter intuitive

[cyan sage]

@strange thistle bro what's ur rank

[strange thistle]

Gc1/2

Whoops replied to wrong guy

[strange thistle]

Nah it's literally fine

[wispy herald]

solo q can work on higher ranks

[cyan sage]

My name is D1ZX-_- Not wrong guy

[wispy herald]

but plat is a different story

[strange thistle]

No

[wispy herald]

yes

[cyan sage]

AGREE ASF

[wispy herald]

gcs usually care about their ranks, plat players are casuals

[strange thistle]

For me a solo queue plat lobby would be far easier than solo queuing in a gc lobby and for you solo queuing in a gc lobby would be far harder than you to solo q in a plat lobby

[wispy herald]

no one sweating in plat

[cyan sage]

@strange thistle how many hrs. u got in this game?

[strange thistle]

Idk like 1500?

[wispy herald]

and why is that

[cyan sage]

remove a 0

that'd be my hours in this game

[strange thistle]

Because platinums are awful I don't needa rely on a tm8

So you shouldn't blame your tm8 in plat

[wispy herald]

if you are good enough to beat two pkats that is

this is no the case for dizx here

[strange thistle]

Bruh even if you're like slightly better than your opponents you'll rank up

[cyan sage]

I DO NOT RELY ON TEAMMATES SCORING ON ME AND ASSISTING MY OPPONENTS

[wispy herald]

you still depend on your teammate

[mortal quail]

Solo queue is fine
I can get to c1 without using boost

[wispy herald]

my experience proves wrong

[shy ether]

i got ssl by just driving straight and hitting the ball alot

[mortal quail]

Mine doesn't and I have 3x the experience you do

[strange thistle]

Yes your tm8 will be fine in solo queue 99% of the time

[mortal quail]

If you wanna compete in gc, you have to 2v1 every rank below you

[strange thistle]

Yeah bro these plats are dumb no offence

[cyan sage]

Solo q is the worst

[strange thistle]

True

[cyan sage]

the worst of all time

[strange thistle]

I can 1v2 c3s

[wispy herald]

id say like 50%

[strange thistle]

No you're wrong

[cyan sage]

below ur rank of course not the same at ur rank

[shy ether]

you will need to play 3v1's in 2s untill you reach high gc1

[mortal quail]

Thats why he isn't c3 but rather gc

[cyan sage]

3v1s is not fun

[mortal quail]

RL isn't fun

[strange thistle]

That's cause I'm not good enough yet obviously but it's way harder to 1v2 gc1 than it is to 1v2 platinum lol

[still trail]

So, I claimed a 100 credit from the rocket pass but my credits is still 1k not 1.1k

[cyan sage]

sometimes

[strange thistle]

True

[shy ether]

that's the way to rank up in soloq, just get your head straight and accept it 🙂

[wispy herald]

only if you care about your rank

[cyan sage]

accept losing early?

[shy ether]

caring about rank actually is very very very bad tho

you will never rank up if u do that lol

[mortal quail]

If I care about my rank I'd just main 1s and skill diff every rank

And put 2k hours

[cyan sage]

but my friends are all diamond and i beat them ass out

is rank involved now

[shy ether]

play a full 2s ranked match in diamond and see, you will prob lose.

[mortal quail]

Yes, they know how to play with a teammate

[cyan sage]

i'd win

[shy ether]

yh yh sure m8

[strange thistle]

Nah if you're stuck in platinum you're awful at the game there's no in-between

[shy ether]

if your in plat your level is plat

[wispy herald]

why do you lose in plat then? miles easier to win thay in diamond

[strange thistle]

Yep someone is speaking some sense here finally

[cyan sage]

I carried my friend to a diamond tournament

[wispy herald]

does that prove anything?

[strange thistle]

Carry your way out of plat then like bruh

[cyan sage]

HAVING BAD TEAMMATE'S IS THE PROB TF

[mortal quail]

Then find a duo

[strange thistle]

Nope it's you

[shy ether]

tournament actually doesn't matter, i get alot of ssls tags in my gc1-2 games even tho they are literally champs

[cyan sage]

U ME

[mortal quail]

Nah

[cyan sage]

(middle east)

[strange thistle]

I feel you

[mortal quail]

Just solo queue ranked find a good teammate then queue

[shy ether]

#looking-for-group you can find someone here

[cyan sage]

it takes decades fr ME

[wispy herald]

thats exactly whay happened to me after your advice by the way

[shy ether]

lmao yh they suck alot, or they got lucky or carried

[strange thistle]

Most likely carried like if you win an ssl tournament then you shouldn't be gc1 in 2s lol

[shy ether]

nah, just be patient

[timber chasm]

Is free roll or directional better

[strange thistle]

Air roll left is all you need

[shy ether]

bind both but free roll for me it's better

[mortal quail]

Directional is better but harder to learn
Free air roll is also good

[wispy herald]

id rather do it that play with a own goaling teammate

[timber chasm]

Alrighty

[cyan sage]

LOOK THIS IS BRAINSTORMONG

STORMING*

[shy ether]

i mean, you can get low gcs in ssl tournaments aswell but still carried, they play literally brainded 💀

[cyan sage]

I'D RATHER GTG

GTG OR GG BWAAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[wispy herald]

💀

we all realise we are talking to a child right

[strange thistle]

I'm sure they would lmao as a gc1 myself I would probably be the same in an ssl tournament 💀

[cyan sage]

gotta better joke

[wispy herald]

i think this is useless

[strange thistle]

Yes it's obvious

[cyan sage]

Who?

[mortal quail]

You unfortunately

[wispy herald]

i suggest ending the conversation here

since it is going nowhere

[cyan sage]

im 15

[shy ether]

💀

[cyan sage]

and a half

[strange thistle]

-3

[shy ether]

i'm 0

[cyan sage]

+3

[wispy herald]

im years old

[shy ether]

i'm years

[timber chasm]

I’m

[wispy herald]

i

[shy ether]

.

[cyan sage]

I'm corn

[timber chasm]

Idk how to flip reset

[strange thistle]

Don't worry about it

[timber chasm]

But it looks cool

[cyan sage]

Place ur car on top of the ball in mid air

[shy ether]

turn your car upside down then hit ball hard with your 4 wheels

[cyan sage]

EZ ASF

[wispy herald]

flip reset are indeed not vital to rank uo, but they are fun

[strange thistle]

?????

[wispy herald]

???

[cyan sage]

below the balll

[strange thistle]

Ig

[cyan sage]

i meant

[shy ether]

flip reset are actually good in gc3+, gc2- is not good, but sometimes it will work

[strange thistle]

Bro has no clue what he's on about

[cyan sage]

alright gtg

[strange thistle]

Probably but you can definitely get to ssl without flip resetting

[wispy herald]

id rather have fun in champ

[shy ether]

i got it with 0 mechs literally lol i just hit ball = easy ssl

[strange thistle]

What's ur playtime

[shy ether]

prob 5-6k? dunno tbh

[strange thistle]

I believe this I have 1.5k hours by hitting the ball and I'm gc1

[strange thistle]

Damn

[shy ether]

see, 1k hours and gc1

[timber chasm]

Im actually dogwater at the game

[strange thistle]

Yep just gotta play the game 4x more lol

[shy ether]

actually hitting gc1 with 1.5k hours is very good, the average i think it is like 1.8-2k hours

[timber chasm]

I just play ranked 3’s with randoms

[strange thistle]

Well I got it with like 1.3k hours I've just spent the last 200 or so hours playing in champ lobbies 💀

[shy ether]

💀

[strange thistle]

Bad idea 3s is hell

[strange thistle]

Also would you say you have to be good at 1s to get to ssl in 2s?

[timber chasm]

I know lol

[shy ether]

3s is good only if your with closed tm8s

[shy ether]

no at all, but i think at least champ is good, but you don't need it

[strange thistle]

Oh ok I'm diamond 2 currently idk if that's high enough to be able to get to ssl in 2s

[onyx jackal]

could someone 1v1 and tell me what I'm doing wrong

[shy ether]

if you focus enough in 2s you will get it

[ionic monolith]

Can someone tell me why my rapid resets are going to the close corner?

[hoary finch]

Hi

Im champ1 highest gc2 I'm kinda washed I need help

[strange thistle]

What rank are you?

[ancient finch]

Once u stop seeing ur mistakes you will never be able to fix them😔

[onyx jackal]

Lima could you let me get a shot against u see how you play

Being clear your way out of my league

[cyan sage]

He's just trolling lol

[onyx jackal]

oh

plat freestyler?

[strange thistle]

I'll 1v1 you later?

[onyx jackal]

sure to both

[strange thistle]

You EU?

[onyx jackal]

Yup

[strange thistle]

Aight I'll send you a friend request then and I'll dm you later

[ionic monolith]

What are some good comp mechanics for C2?

[onyx jackal]

Flip resets and flip resets prob flip resets

[strange thistle]

Rank?

[ionic monolith]

Whew that’s good. I train those the most

[onyx jackal]

Make sure to learn the variations

[ancient finch]

Thats actually not good and they r not gonan help u rank up

[onyx jackal]

They do

[ancient finch]

But its sure fun mechanic to learn

[ionic monolith]

Lol I know

I’m learning them for fun

[ancient finch]

How many goals u get from flip reset?

[onyx jackal]

He asked for mechanics not ways to rank up

[ancient finch]

1 in 10games?

[ancient finch]

Ohhh i thought mechanics for ranking u0

[ionic monolith]

Yeah but they’re peak goals

[onyx jackal]

Ceiling shots aswell

[onyx jackal]

xD

[ionic monolith]

Lol I do want to train mechs that will help me rank up though

[strange thistle]

Learn breezi flicks

[onyx jackal]

Ceiling shot is just a simpler flip reset

[ancient finch]

Most of them barely will give u any dvantage but u can try learning recoveries aerials and dribbling

[onyx jackal]

Black out 2s or 1s btw

[ionic monolith]

I’ve been working on my dribbles and my aerials are pretty fast

I’d say my recoveries are pretty good

[strange thistle]

Rank in 2s?

[ionic monolith]

I think it’s mainly my decision making but I want to make sure I’m training the right mechs

I mainly play 3s but sometimes I play 2s

[onyx jackal]

Master dribbling and air dribbles

but make sure to get consistent on the basics

[strange thistle]

When you're only at gc2?

[onyx jackal]

be real with me are you a plat freestyler

[serene iron]

/only gc 2 noob

[strange thistle]

Ok so peak like gc3 div1 but you're currently around gc2 div 1?

If so you definitely don't deserve SSL

[cyan sage]

Whats that got to do with 2s

[strange thistle]

True I'm diamond 2 in 1s but gc in 2v2 completely different game modes imo

Even if your win percentage is like 55-60% you'll rank up eventually if you truly deserve SSL

[dim perch]

im plat 2 in 1's with like 50 games played and c2 in 2's with like 800 games

and 2's is so full of alts and shi rn its awful

at the c2+ rank

[fast gate]

looking for a coach for 2v2s, anyone willing?

[mortal quail]

Its not as bad as last few seasons
Its just rough atm as everyone is a lower rank than before

[strange thistle]

I'm not why is everyone else?

I don't understand why everyone is complaining

[mortal quail]

I mean, I'm not much different myself
But the players I'm facing are a lot better than what I remember lol

[strange thistle]

Yea I mean i literally don't notice a difference at my level as I've been the same rank for 4 seasons in a row and I don't think the players are better either

Dunno what people are on about

[cyan sage]

Any Advice for a hard stuck Diamond3

[errant otter]

any ssls?

[daring matrix]

for what?

[keen igloo]

can anyone do 1v1 with me and tell me what i do wrong? plz

[plucky gyro]

yeah I agree

finding it hard to rank up in 3s having to try carry 2 players 😂

[cyan sage]

need a coach

[cyan sage]

hit bol

[warped moat]

dmed you

[cyan sage]

u have never touched ssl

[daring matrix]

He didn't say that he has tho?

[cyan sage]

Any advice for a hard stuck champ2?

[cyan sage]

hit bol

[cyan sage]

U FROM POLAND?

[cyan sage]

no

[warped moat]

There is no general advice for a certain rank it depends on your weaknesses

[cyan sage]

well...

what if idk my weekness

[warped moat]

Dm me

[cyan sage]

u miss the ball cant rotate at all
shit positiong
ur slow

[spring tide]

what is the best period to rank up (at least for a temporary period)?

[mortal quail]

Mid season, queue early morning

[spring tide]

thats unfortunate, is mid season sin the evening still ok?

[mortal quail]

Ya, there isnt much difference between the time of day, just time during season

[vital grove]

Is there a difference between a demo that you go through the car and one where you bounce off the car?
I get "lol demos [are random]" but I am guessing there is some condition that makes a difference.

[upper fog]

what is the best way to learn wall dashing on pc?

[vital grove]

I don't even know what wall dashing is. 👀

Ah gotcha some technique to go faster up the wall gutter

[upper fog]

ik how to get better at it

[vital grove]

"Have a little forward momentum already, hold powerslide, let go of gas, angle car slightly up on the wall, hold left stick almost fully to the side of the car facing up on the wall but forward a little bit so you get some forward momentum, spam jump (extremely fast). Most people either aren't spamming jump fast enough or are holding gas."

New to me

[upper fog]

im on pc with kbm

[vital grove]

KBM might be an issue

I've heard some RL players get super good with it but I wouldn't

[upper fog]

I am trash on controler

[vital grove]

You might be one of the low % who exceed with KBM but it is more likely you are part of the high % who exceed with gamepad

I would be curious to know what % of say the top 100 are on KBM

[upper fog]

im gold 1

on 2s

[vital grove]

Might be time to embrace trash on controller life for however many hours it takes you to relearn. 😦

That said I highly suspect it is still possible to wall dash on KBM

[upper fog]

it is I just fall alot

i might be clicking to fast

i get 15 cps drag

[vital grove]

cps = clicks per second?

[upper fog]

yes

[cyan sage]

i need a coach

[vivid oxide]

can someone watch me do a 45 flick and lmk if im doign smth wrong? i feel like i might be doing 90 flicks. (u need to not be a noob)

[shell hornet]

is there any platform anyone's familiar with where i can get a replay analysis? (im c2 previous gc1)

@vivid oxide got a clip?

[dry marsh]

It’s called discord

[ionic monolith]

I can help in a bit

[shell hornet]

thanks '-'

[dry marsh]

Np

[ionic monolith]

@dry marsh I need you to teach me how to ball chase better

[upper fog]

how can I get better at kick offs

[shell hornet]

in freeplay practice hitting the ball faster, however in doing so try speedflipping towards where you hit the ball if you're not consistent with it. that way you're not just practicing kickoffs but practicing speedflip consistency and playing faster. or can you already speedflip consistently and are still finding you're losing kickoffs often?

[upper fog]

I can speedflip but not constantly at all.

[ionic monolith]

You don’t need to speed flip in gold btw

If you can then great but it’s not a necessity

[shell hornet]

yeah so my first place to start would be to try learning the speedflip kickoff by practicing speedflipping in training more overall. Besides that things like keeping yourself straight and centering yourself with the ball during kickoff are good factors but that's a little more advanced.

[upper fog]

I keep going back and ford between silver 3 and gold 1

[ionic monolith]

I would focus on the 50/50 part of the kickoff

[upper fog]

ok

[sharp moth]

any freestylers in here?

need a talk with one aha

[ionic monolith]

Sort of

[sharp moth]

dm?

[ionic monolith]

Sure I’m not home but I will be soon

[upper fog]

how to win 50/50s?

[ionic monolith]

I can help with that in a bit

[sharp moth]

its annoying cus im ssl im 1800 rn and i can hit tripples and quads but no maktufs

[shell hornet]

it depends on how your opponent goes for the ball however staying centered and mildly low is often the general way to win most 50/50s in my experience.

[ionic monolith]

I’m trying to learn them too

[sharp moth]

yea

[upper fog]

ok

[sharp moth]

there annoying as hell when i was gc2 i could maktuff but then i started grinding comp and now can no longer do it

[ionic monolith]

I can’t place my flip well for the reset

[sharp moth]

liek ic an get it once every 3

[ionic monolith]

Better than me lol

[sharp moth]

the reason i wanna learn cus i was 2 games from 1500 in 1s and guz tripple maktufed on me

i gotta get back at him

[ionic monolith]

Lmao

[shell hornet]

that's tuff

[sharp moth]

its just painfull

[shell hornet]

Pepe crying emoji

[quaint aspen]

Anyone have tips on how to win kickoffs more often

[shell hornet]

rank? @quaint aspen

[ionic monolith]

I generally flip either sideways into the ball or diagonally into the ball depending on where the opponent is in their kickoff

[shell hornet]

That guy was referring to general 50/50s at lower ranks lol

but yeah i do the same

[ionic monolith]

Oh well it works pretty well for me

[shell hornet]

it's just hard because lower ranks don't usually do that so when they ask you know it's kinda like everyone sorta does it different down there whereas most higher ranks do very similar kickoffs with minor changes or mistakes

[quaint aspen]

Bronze

[ionic monolith]

I don’t how well my kickoff would fare against an ssl or gc but it works well against the people in my lobbies

[shell hornet]

mine does fine with everyone except like top .05 percent i swear

[ionic monolith]

What’s your peak rank?

[shell hornet]

1450-1500

like mid gc1

[ionic monolith]

Ah okay you’re higher than me

[shell hornet]

That was in twos though which i don't really play competitively much anymore. ever since the mmr drop anyways, now i focus a bit more in 1s

[dusky fiber]

kinda depends, usually depends on 1. speed 2. positioning, lets say he is more speedy u can still win kick offs if u are more in the middle, or in general those fast kick offs can usually be countered by slight delay and jump 1 time low, then u can have dash where the ball goes

[ionic monolith]

I use a speed flip kickoff but I use the one with directional air roll. And the 50/50 part of my kickoff is pretty consistent

[shell hornet]

personally I've never been a fan of wavedash kickoff because there's a risk/reward factor involved that i don't like personally. also if im just winning because of a kickoff i keep abusing then i don't feel like im winning

[dusky fiber]

sounds good, i9n general for instance in 1s iots also good to mix things up when u do it more often, by being unpredictable u can also win against "better" players

[ionic monolith]

That’s true. I don’t play 1s much though

[shell hornet]

:0

how dare

[ionic monolith]

Lol

I torture myself in 3s

[shell hornet]

i wish 3s was good lol

[dusky fiber]

1s is a pain ngl can relate, but good to improve individual skills

[shell hornet]

i find it to be the most important gamemode man

players develop their own personality in 1s and gain individual skill much faster. this is why the best players in the world are 1s players

[dusky fiber]

3s is good 😉

[shell hornet]

BUT ITS SO ANNOYINGGGG

PEOPLE JUST HIT IT AS FAST AS POSSIBLEEEE

[mortal quail]

Tbf a lot of top players don't play 1s, you can be good without it

[dusky fiber]

if u get higher it gets better i can tell u

[ionic monolith]

3s solo queueing is the worst

[shell hornet]

I do believe that, I've played higher ranked private matches and even 3 mans which were quite fun

[dusky fiber]

when u are lower being more defensive is key, mostly they just chase

[dusky fiber]

yeah!

[ionic monolith]

I like to play fast and aggressive and apply pressure but it sucks when my tm8s can’t keep up so I have to play slow

[dusky fiber]

u mean for 2s?

[shell hornet]

just getting up there is so time investing and nothing is promised due lol

[mortal quail]

Fast and aggro won't always be a good strat

[ionic monolith]

Nah 3s

[shell hornet]

Hey @mortal quail rank?

[ionic monolith]

I’m c2 in 3s but i playing with lower friends and now I’m c1 and it’s hell to solo queue

[mortal quail]

C3

[ionic monolith]

It’s much slower paced

[shell hornet]

Ah okies

[dusky fiber]

c2 is not bad tho

[dusky fiber]

but yh i can imagine its a pain, usually very mixed players there

[ionic monolith]

Yeah If I want to win I’m forced to play passively and hope my tm8s can either score or set the ball up for me

[shell hornet]

@dusky fiber dammit now im gonna go home and play 3s because of you lol

[dusky fiber]

do it mate i love 3s lol

[dusky fiber]

yh ik, doesnt make much fun sometimes

[ionic monolith]

Y’all should join me for 3s lol

[shell hornet]

@cyan sage rank?

[dusky fiber]

what do u need?

[shell hornet]

Hmmm

i seeee

that's a tuff one because people ask for coaching with stuff kinda like that but coaching is a little more along the line of helping mistakes you make in game that you could improve on to rank up. but if you'd like some tips with stuff like that i can try to kinda help

How do you kick off?

[dusky fiber]

can u speedflick? prob nah right? for arials any specific or just flying?

first for kick off, it usually depends on 2 things, 1. speed, 2. positioning, speed is clear, positioning: when u come from the back of your net, usually the more middle u are u can decide where the ball is going, then u see your opponent being slightly off to one side u can front/side flick in the other side and will usually win when u are more to the middle, so rather to a basic on but position good

for air dribbles

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

if u struggle with the carry u struggle with the set up trust me, usually with the set up the ball is in front of u, if not send me a vid, but in lots of cases thats the issue

[astral swallow]

What do you think: which tricks Platinum II has to know?

[ionic monolith]

Hit ball hard and hit ball fast

Don’t chase either

Let the game teach you as you play

[mortal quail]

Plat: get better at defending and mastering stuff you learned in gold. Honestly stop trying to aerial for every ball, use your judgement to decide if you should aerial or not. Learn backpost rotations and hitting the ball off backboard. Should be said that dont go for air dribbles or ceiling shots idc if you are consistent with them. Playing smart and reading the play will allow you to rank up

[astral swallow]

Wow, thank you!

[eager wing]

how the hell can I get out of d2
teammates can be so inconsistent ranging from C2-tier players to plats who own-goal (like no joke I had 2 games in a row with tm8s owngoaling), toss the ball infront of my net, never rotate, pass impossible-to-hit blitzes and expect me to hit them in, turn away from defending to grab boost, expecting me to somehow pass the ball to him while im in a 1v2 infront of my net, the list goes on

personally not as mechanical as lots of these ppl playing 1s at p3 level, but im staying more-less consistent and now more defensive than ever, because I cant trust all my teammates anymore

[shell hornet]

So with them dropping the rank mmr you may see it as you're not improving. However the trutg is those are probably dropped c2s in your rank now. as unfortunate as it is the state of ranked 2s is sad. but if you want my honest opinion on how to improve yourself as a player and become more mechanical and consistent i would give 1s a try. and not like a few games or so. Like really give it a shot and improve your style of gameplay.

honestly I'd love to give your a replay analysis if i was able to do so

to help you in whatever mistakes you may or may not be making

[eager wing]

I can send you a rp of one of my latest 'sweaty' games, plenty of major mistakes there I recognize myself, but that was like 2-3 days ago (the vibe actually feels so different each day in RL)

[shell hornet]

i get it lol

Hmmm im just thinking about how i could help you improve to be able to complete with the higher ranks without having to use unnecessary higher mechanics

[mortal quail]

One way would be mentally, each day vibe wise should be the same, your skill win magically increase or decrease. Accept where you are at and work on playing better as a player, both mentally and physically

Accept you are a d2 player atm, and work on it as you go, ignore what teammate does and just play to support him

[ionic monolith]

Defense is always something that you can work on. I have a good training pack that might help with making awkward saves

[shell hornet]

That's what i was thinking too was defense honestly lol

[eager wing]

In 1s what gives me most trouble are high flicks.

[ionic monolith]

This training pack should help with that

It’s called uncomfortable saves. The code is : 5CB2-6D82-1B54-47B7

[eager wing]

Alr, thanks. Not quite the same as getting barraged by flicks in 1s, but some of these shots are cool to practice with.

[ionic monolith]

Once you get the saves down, try saving them into the corner. It will help relieve pressure

[vital grove]

Is there a difference between a demo that you go through the car and one where you bounce off the car?
I get "lol demos [are random]" but I am guessing there is some condition that makes a difference.

Or can anyone point me to a guide on how demos work in terms of game mechanics?

They are kind of unintuitive, like sometimes I will go through the other car like it wasn't there and other times it's like a full bump but they still blow up. Also not really sure about how they trigger period.

[ionic monolith]

You have to be supersonic to get a demo. It doesn’t matter the speed of the opponent as long as you hit them. What does matter is the angle at which your car comes into contact with their car. I’m not sure the range for this but I’m sure you could look up a guide or something. I’m also not sure about the bouncing off of the demo thing

[mortal quail]

Sunless had one, I think it was him documenting the rise save in winter major. The miss is usually ping issue, however you have to have a certain velocity and the angey of your car is specific

[ionic monolith]

I thought it was team queso?

I could be wrong though

[mortal quail]

It was when he was on queso

[ionic monolith]

Ohhh okay yeah rise is the player lol

[mortal quail]

But sunless did a mini documentary on the whole play

[ionic monolith]

Yeah it was a great video and it was somewhat informative about demos

[mortal quail]

Ya, it was the first time I learned how demos are actually calculated

[vital grove]

That sounds like what I want to watch
Appreciate the response even if it's not really technically an answer, I honestly didn't know opponent speed didn't matter but that explains why relative speed doesn't seem to matter

For me the main difference is not just whether supersonic triggers one but why sometimes it's a hard bounce, like ~30% of the time

Maybe dead on is "goes through" and within some wider cone is hard bounce but still demo?

[ionic monolith]

Yeah it you’re going supersonic and so is the opponent and you catch them at like a 90 degree angle they will be demoed

[mortal quail]

Sunless explains it, its due to the angle of the car. You need a certain percentage of car to car contact

If not enough of your car hits them upon supersonic
It won't demo

[vital grove]

IIRC all the cars except the F1 cars are cuboids with minor differences in dimensions

I kind of understand when a car will/won't demo just from play time (though am still curious to learn how based on angles)

Just wondering why sometimes it also blocks, like when I do an intentional demo now I just prepare to react either way but it's confusing

[mortal quail]

https://youtu.be/D77HFxxmXnM?si=OWLHcxdAi0PQ3KRP

During the first half of the video he explains how demos work and why vatira didn't get demoed

[vital grove]

Watching this, TY. Sounds like the video I was looking for. 🙂

[ionic monolith]

There’s the octane, dominus, hybrid, merc? Hit boxes

I think I’m missing one

Breakout?

[vital grove]

There's probably a comparison graphic but the differences aren't very interesting, about what they look like but all cubes
It's not like one kind of car or another has like weird slopes

Knowing everyone has probably theorycrafted the hell out of them I assume the consensus is just pick one and get used to it

Wasn't there some controversy where they had to create a misshapen one for the F1 cars because they had literal geometry clipping?

[ionic monolith]

Most high level players use cars with the octane hitbox

[mortal quail]

It starts at 5:56
Everything before is just background to the rlcs match

[ionic monolith]

@mortal quail can you check me on this

Oh it’s breakout, dominus, octane, merc, hybrid, and plank

[vital grove]

To trigger a demo the vector from your center of mass to your opponent's must be within 45 horizontal and 37 vertical degrees of your car's forward direction.
The vertical degrees is a little confusing but it's not the front of car but center of mass to opponent
That is probably why it seems unintuitive, when people start talking angles they assume based on orientation and not physics

Appreciate the info, good to know even though the video still didn't address my question about sometimes demo turning into a block 🤔

[mortal quail]

Don't even need me to correct

[ionic monolith]

Sorry I looked it up

[vital grove]

I think I have played Dominus hitbox since forever, may switch cars I guess if there is one considered better

[mortal quail]

Octane/fennec

[vital grove]

"slight differences in length, width, and height" makes it sound like a bit eh

[ionic monolith]

I’m not sure if there’s an answer to your original question but I would start with rocket sledge if it is a question you need answered

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBVtR-e9dDtxGSbZ-AtzsV1h5EN3SsfYj&si=uJi89xkQfthCobWr

This is a link to playlist of demo videos

I personally haven’t seen them though so I don’t know if they will have what you need

[vital grove]

Guessing they must be covered in there somewhere, ty

[ionic monolith]

Np

[vital grove]

"NO" threw me for a sec lol
Appreciated 😅

[ionic monolith]

Lol that happened the other day too. I forget I have autocorrect on

[vital grove]

<offers helpful advice>
ty
No

[ionic monolith]

Lmao

[wintry breach]

help me man

i listen to every tutorial, video and guide

i just went from d3 to d2 and im hardstuck as

[ionic monolith]

Why do you think you’re losing?

[wintry breach]

in a gmae but rotation

[thick schooner]

any gc who doesnt mind dropping mmr dm m

[wintry breach]

i think my mechs are good, my positioning has improved, but i cant really find a way to play offensive after 2nd man, and when i play positional my speed and mechs and ruined.

[ionic monolith]

Are we talking 2s or 3s?

[dry marsh]

Just ballchase, it’s diamond

[wintry breach]

ive tried that

in eu svrs that doesnt work

[dry marsh]

You’re bad at ballchasing

[wintry breach]

in late d2 ppl double resetting

[dry marsh]

Can confirm, it works in EU

[wintry breach]

ill try it

[dry marsh]

Works better in eu if anything

[wintry breach]

us > eu

[dry marsh]

They give too much space trying to play smart and you can just win

[wintry breach]

hmm true

[dry marsh]

And US diamonds suck at 50’s

[wintry breach]

but my tms also do that?

[dry marsh]

Tm8s dont matter

[ionic monolith]

Spam I got it

[dry marsh]

If you score, your tm8 doesnt have to do anything

[cyan sage]

us dumb af tho

[cyan sage]

ballchase

[cyan sage]

an eu diamond could never beat a us diamond in a 50 (475)

[dry marsh]

Real, eu diamonds are getting put into net with the ball in a 50/50 situation

Make it a 99/1

[cyan sage]

100/0 i dont go for 50s against Na players

[dry marsh]

Real

Ball doesnt move when you 50 me

[cyan sage]

you literaly dont move

[dry marsh]

Im too heavy

(435)

((kg))

[cyan sage]

youre the size of the net (tons)

[slow frigate]

what the

[dry marsh]

I sit in net and you cant score, i fill the whole net

[cyan sage]

and the dominus can reach anywhere on the field i cant get space

[dry marsh]

Real, ill 50 you midfield from net

[cyan sage]

you touch the ball before kickof

[dry marsh]

I shoot the ball before the countdown begins

Doing 3s or smth?

[cyan sage]

@dry marsh

[dry marsh]

So you and your friend vs me and @cyan sage ?? We can save the replay and have someone review it to give us tips

Bro got kicked, ig ill never get coached

@cyan sage coach me

[cyan sage]

sry getting coached by @dry marsh rn i cant

[dry marsh]

Unlucky

[dry marsh]

You need coaching on how to use a pc tbf

[cyan sage]
