[steep ice]

damn

once i had a controller overlay on my quick chat and i couldn't say "thanks" even tho he never stopped saying "nice shot" 😭

[safe barn]

damn

[steep ice]

one thing that grinds my gears is when the opponent hits a nice shot and me or my team m8 says "nice shot" then he says "no problem"

[safe barn]

yeh

i bet im gonna get smurfs now

it helped but i still try mechs when i can but not all the time

so thanks

[steep ice]

i could teach you how to rotate

[mortal leaf]

what rank are u?

[safe barn]

d2

[steep ice]

all you really neet to know is be back post on defense when your team m8 is going for the ball and try not to ball side rotate

[safe barn]

already doing it

[steep ice]

rn almost d3 before i stopped playing c2

[safe barn]

what if we end up in a 2v2 sometime?

[steep ice]

and when your team m8 is front dont go past half line

[safe barn]

ik

[steep ice]

me and you?

[safe barn]

yeh

i think i would give u a win

[steep ice]

if we are in a team id probably set up some shots for you depending on how you take them im 1st man or 2nd man if we are against each other il go for a clip

[safe barn]

i ment against

[steep ice]

oh against

id go for a clip

[safe barn]

i like u so i would give u the w

[steep ice]

nah dont

or else i will own goal

[safe barn]

idrc abt my rank

i just wnt to be a freestyler

[cyan sage]

who tryna play fr

[steep ice]

ah

[safe barn]

and be ssl

[steep ice]

oh thats basically @coral flax

freestyler + ssl

@safe barn wants to be same as you

[mortal leaf]

how does the mmr system work?

my teamate got more mmr than me when we won but i have better score

is it just random?

[cyan sage]

you always get like 9 mmr

[steep ice]

i get like 12 or 15

[mortal leaf]

i got 9 and my teamate got 12

[cyan sage]

mb you get 9 once ur placed

[safe barn]

send u a friend request so we can talk or like idk

[steep ice]

i have +79 mmr rn

[steep ice]

i accepted

[cyan sage]

if ur getting 12 or 15 youre either matching with sum higher ranked players through party or ur still not settled

[mortal leaf]

we same rank and random que

[safe barn]

nice

[cyan sage]

yea ur teammate didnt play enough thas why

[steep ice]

yeah i dont think im settled yet i have a 7 win streak rn

[mortal leaf]

he had his rank

[cyan sage]

bro he didnt play enough it dont matter 😭

[mortal leaf]

how much is enough?

[cyan sage]

its not till ur ranked its till the game thinks ur settled type shii ☠️

[cyan sage]

i don know probably sum 10-15 games after u get ur rank or sum

[safe barn]

if u want to we could play tmrow

[cyan sage]

tomorrow ⁉️

[steep ice]

sometimes you get +0 and then win the next match and get more

[safe barn]

yes

[cyan sage]

shii im tryna play right now

in the flesh in the seconds glawg

[mortal leaf]

i got -1 is 1s one time even tho i won

[steep ice]

same

[safe barn]

that one dude who never got mmr suddenly 2k mmr everybody be like wtf

[cyan sage]

u left ur last match early

[mortal leaf]

wdym

[safe barn]

sick pfp

[cyan sage]

you left your last match early, qued another game, went in, won, your mmr basically barely changed because it didnt register your last match until the match you just won

[mortal leaf]

ye ik, paid 100$for it

[safe barn]

shi

[steep ice]

fr "yay im almost d3 what rank did you get" "uuh this thing says S,S,L what does that mean is it good?"

[lethal dome]

What's it called when you bounce the ball twice on the floor while flying downards and then score ._. ( hard to exlain, can't send vid in here )

Yes but i bounced it off the floor ._.

something like that

[mortal quail]

I called it first killer
Not sure if there is a official name

It doesn't rely on ceiling, it's where you slam the ball into the ground and having it bounce into you again.

[lethal dome]

I guess it depends if youre naming it based on where it starts from / where the ball bounces from?

[mortal quail]

Should be called a floor double but thats a shot

[umbral crag]

Ground double

[steep ice]

you dont have to go to ceiling for ground double, do you?

[serene trout]

Guy's iam p2 -p3 can someone do replay analysis

[safe socket]

Hey guys. Currently trying to get a speedflick down in mustys training pack with the bakkesmod speedflick plugin on. Have had all bars in green but still unable to hit the ball. Even had boost and throttle down all the time. Anyone has a clue why I just can’t get it down?

Input delay maybe?

[novel canyon]

when you spawn your car is floating, maybe wait a second before starting

[cyan sage]

anyone got tips on managing speed flip kickoffs? can speedflip but have trouble aligning

[novel canyon]

adjust your car before your flip

when i speedflip i flip to the right most the time

[cyan sage]

i do, i speedflip right so i move left before

[novel canyon]

so i have my car on a slight angle

[novel canyon]

then just practice 👍

[cyan sage]

ty

if i set freeplay to limited boost, will I have 33(at beginning)? then that would be good for practice as its the same as real game

[novel canyon]

if your struggling with alignment on kickoff it should be fine

[umbral crag]

You don't. You can do it off wall

[safe socket]

I always do so when it says that, though on most attempts it doesn’t say that. Could it be the fact that I have an Xbox controller instead of a PS4 or PS5?

I’ve hit it once now, for the first time with two bars in yellow and the other ones in green. So it should be possible but something’s holding me back it looks like. Even if the movement is all green I can’t hit it 🤣

[novel canyon]

sometimes even when all green it is not a speedflip

[stoic minnow]

Any tips for solo queue 3v3 in low rank while everyone tries to bump me and my teamates also

[cyan sage]

hmm

[safe socket]

Okay, so I basically need to find the way to hit it?

[novel canyon]

if you are doing a correct speedflip you should hit it

[safe socket]

Cant really do anything but keep grinding I guess

What about the flip cancel? Maybe i could do it in the wrong direction?

[novel canyon]

it should be a diagonal flip into a sideflip

[cyan sage]

you do almost like a diagonal flip and then press air roll a little bit

like a 45 degree angle

basically

30 to 45 is the best tho

[safe socket]

Diagonal cancel? Im canceling down with my stick

[cyan sage]

cancel with air roll

I play on switch lmao

Im pretty good tho

usually play with gc

30-40 pps switch sucks

[safe socket]

Okay let me get this straight. First im flipping in an angle around 30 degrees to the left. Which gives me the green indicator on bakkesmod. As soon as i diagonal flipped, im canceling straight down, so towards 6 if it was a clock. Where should i cancel according to you?

[cyan sage]

there is some in ssl

one is in top 100

#34 place

yea check

they have 2 acc in top 100

mtzr

[signal lintel]

There's no problem with cancelling that way, many people including myself do it

[cyan sage]

search up mtzr.

[safe socket]

8, thanks. Going to try that out, when is the right moment to use air roll left (for me)

[cyan sage]

he is x.x

[signal lintel]

Definitely

On a bad day

[cyan sage]

you should be my grandpa

[signal lintel]

Any tips for playing ranked as a grandpa?

[cyan sage]

LMAO

[safe socket]

Im noticing something that could be the thing why im not hitting them: as I’m flipping, the nose of my car seems to hit the ground 2-3 times with the smallest contact possible… is that what might be slowing me down?

[cyan sage]

he plays on switch

go on the switch platform and search it up

[random sentinel]

im new does someone wanna help me out. ive played for like 2 days. DM me

[cyan sage]

he plays on switch

I could send u a screenshot

he has multiple accs

try search up

[novel canyon]

unless it is hard hits that isnt too bad

a lot of the time i do it as well

if you really want i can send you clips of me speedflipping on musty's thing

[atomic shore]

how the hell you boost and jump on controller

[quiet spade]

claw or different keybinds

some people press the sticks in for boost i think

[atomic shore]

oo coumld be nice

im new to controller cus i find kbm way easier

[atomic shore]

this really helps but i also want to tap boost sometimes

might have to go into properties

[cyan sage]

that is hard to do

I rather just use a button for boost

?

[novel canyon]

some people fat finger a and b at the same time with their thumb, as in press them both

whilst some people like me bind boost to another button such as right bumper

[cyan sage]

its very hard for me but i do it

the switch buttons are seperated by a lot

Me playing in 30-40 fps gameplay

[novel canyon]

if its hard you could always switch your binds

[cyan sage]

I can speedflip

its hard for other ppl in switch

[chrome solar]

make sure to double commit it increases the chances of you hitting the ball

[cyan sage]

I wished I had like 200 fps

[cyan sage]

dont listen to him

[chrome solar]

listen to me bro

[cyan sage]

nah

Champ tournament with ppl who have gc tourney winner tags Rip

[hollow fossil]

looking for tips or a coach, s12 bronze

[cyan sage]

never seen a real bronze

[hollow fossil]

uh well here i am

[cyan sage]

lmao

[novel canyon]

kumo

as a bronze, the best way to get better is literally just to play the game

[mellow tiger]

Bro bronze is a rare breed

Didn't even know they existed

[novel canyon]

would anyone be interested in replay reviewing my 2s match?

[mellow tiger]

I been playing for 1 week now and I'm gold 3 can anyone help me out tomorrow at 7pm eu time

[torpid crater]

Guys can someone help me im stuck in silver so any help would be appreciated

[random sentinel]

im new does someone wanna help me out. ive played for like 2 days. DM me

[torpid crater]

I will

[hollow fossil]

does anyone know any rookie powershot packs?

[vernal blade]

I cant get used to having my triggers as drive, what else could i use?

[serene trout]

guys

Guy's iam p2 -p3 can someone do replay analysis

[crystal cliff]

this game died so fast

[sterile yacht]

I think there's a setting to drive/reverse with your analog stick, but if you can't get used to that maybe bumpers or the classic racing game A to accelerate, B to reverse, with boost on X and jump on Y, fairly conventional for other driving games and with boost between jump and accelerate you can combine both as needed to speed up or aerial

[teal bluff]

How do I do speed aerials without flipping backward

[sterile yacht]

Release the joystick and jump to hop straight up

I like to boost into the air for a quick sec first so you kinda hop back a bit too, giving you more room to react

[teal bluff]

Alright

[jaunty wind]

RL is so ass

tm8s are ass js everything is ass

[sterile yacht]

If you support your teammates usually they'll surprise you

[remote cave]

I need help with kick offs

[acoustic niche]

can someone coach me please im ass

[glacial dagger]

Great tip..? I don't think calling your teammates bad really helps though, do you need help with anything specifically?

[rose finch]

anyone know why one day I rank up so much (80mmr) then the next I lose it all while playing for like 3-4 hrs

[glacial dagger]

This is more of a mental thing.

[rose finch]

How do I fix

should I play less ranked?

like for less amount of time

even when im tired

and have been playing for 5 hours

Bro

💀

but being fatigued might cause bad habits

[glacial dagger]

Simple way to fix this is.. whenever you feel like hopping on, get into freeplay for 10-20 minutes, play some casual matches; If it feels odd and you think the game feels sloppy or inconsistent, don't hop on ranked, constantly pressing ranked will make you sloppy, consistency doesn't require hard challenges, consistency is all about experience and time while having fun.

[rose finch]

theres the answer I was looking for thank you kosh have your self a good fucking life

[glacial dagger]

You're very welcome, and thank you?

[rose finch]

🙏🙏

[glacial dagger]

You have a good point though, the more you play, the more consistent you'll get. The problem with this though is that you're just going to throw your rank if you continue playing when you know you're starting to suck, that's quite literally the first stage to rage queuing. You'll lose a lot more and your mentality is gonna become absolute garbage after the 4th/5th loss. There's no problem with pushing yourself but you're not going to learn anything by playing when you're tired or when your eyes start getting strained. It's not a skill thing, it's quite literally just a psychological process, your brain does not pay full attention when tired or stressed because it's focusing on other things. If you continue queuing when you're obviously losing MMR, your brain is focused on gaining that MMR back and not actually being a good player. So in summary, go ahead and push yourself but don't start queuing stupidly, if you want to release your anger, hop onto casual, same game and at the end of the day, you continue getting better.

Bolded text.

I was just adding to your point.

[autumn orchid]

I’m gc3 who wants help

[calm whale]

Work on ur mechs tbh

[glacial dagger]

Sorry then.

[calm whale]

ooo mechs. ahh my faortie thing. totally...

[novel canyon]

this paragraph is the best thing ever written. i rage queued and dropped from 1500 to 1420

today

[glacial dagger]

I might be a C2 peak but honestly, video-games are just psychological warfare.

[glacial dagger]

Also, sorry to hear that.

[novel canyon]

nah its chill, i already got my rewards

thanks tho 🙂

[glacial dagger]

Well, at least you got em 🤷‍♂️

[novel canyon]

btw if anyone needs help like a replay review, i'm willing to help anyone out rn

[glacial dagger]

It's currently 1:33 AM for me.

Insomniac activities.

[novel canyon]

time to go to bed

nevermind, insomnia

[glacial dagger]

Insomniac's when people tell them to go to sleep:

[novel canyon]

haha

[glacial dagger]

I'll fall asleep soon enough.

[novel canyon]

good luck

[glacial dagger]

Thanks.

[novel canyon]

if anyone wants a replay review or anything i'm willing to help

[loud lynx]

Can somebody teach me how to play

[left lichen]

what rank?

are you*

[novel canyon]

gc

1

[left lichen]

hello mr.gc im mister champ 1 that likes to throw games and bump myself down to d2

[novel canyon]

?

[left lichen]

im just implying im stupid lmao

[novel canyon]

ah, i thought you meant me, sorry

[left lichen]

oh no lol. what servers you on?

[novel canyon]

oce

[left lichen]

is there anyting competitive in oce?

[novel canyon]

wdym?

[left lichen]

not trying to be rude but isnt there like nobody that playes that much in oce?

[novel canyon]

oce is one of the hardest regions to hit ssl, i'll put it into perspective, i am gc1 div 2 currently, and i was queuing in lobbies with evample and pro players this morning

[left lichen]

so its more competitive because thers a smaller player base. im sorry, seems like you deserve ssl

[novel canyon]

nah im not that good

i'd prob be around low gc2 in other regions

[left lichen]

im on USW servers and theres a lot of trolls lmfao

[novel canyon]

yeah fair enough

[steep ice]

south africa is the hardest to get ssl

[novel canyon]

i dont know, oce is hard but i know its not the hardest

asia is pretty hard as well

[steep ice]

in south africa the top 3 players are ssl rest are gc3 top 10 are pros

like the best player is ssl number 4

[novel canyon]

yeah fair enough

[steep ice]

its easy to get to champ and gc but after that you need to be pro lvl to get ssl

[novel canyon]

its slightly better in oce

to get ssl you basically have to be pro, although it is slightly different

[steep ice]

most of sa pros are gc3 or gc2

[novel canyon]

a few players who arent

[steep ice]

yeah

like some of my friends are gc3 that aren't pro

[crystal helm]

You guys think the octane or fennec is better?

[novel canyon]

most people think fennec

[steep ice]

fennec is 100% better imo

[novel canyon]

and factually, fennec is better as it better represents the hitbox

but i still prefer octane i just like it

[crystal helm]

I kinda agree fennel better if your more on the pro side

[steep ice]

yeah octane feels faster but fennec gives more control

[crystal helm]

Octane is free to

First car

[steep ice]

im useing dominus rn

[crystal helm]

Dominus is a freestyling car right?

[steep ice]

yeah basically

i just got bored of the square hit box

[crystal helm]

You got any clips?

[steep ice]

and decided to play dominus

[crystal helm]

What rank you at?

[steep ice]

i haven't been in ranked in a minute but i think i have some in game

[crystal helm]

What rank would you say you are

[steep ice]

current rank d3 but i was c2 before i stopped playing and i only lost 3 games this entire season so far

[steep ice]

around c1

[crystal helm]

Damn

I'm on a trip now but I'd say when I get back on I'll get to plat 3 between diamond 2

[steep ice]

mightget higher if i play

ah

this season imma spend most of my time in freeplay

[crystal helm]

Yeah ima try get better at flip resetting I can do it but not over again

[dusky fiber]

If u want to get higher rankwise dont focus on that

[crystal helm]

Nah I wanna freestyle a bit I'm not to focused on rank I just play with friends most of the time

[dusky fiber]

Fair enough if u need something regarding flip resets let me know

[crystal helm]

What rank you at

Also what settings you use?

[dusky fiber]

Last season gc2 but just got the rewards there, the 2 seasons before that gc3

[crystal helm]

It was hard to rank up in season 12

I'll dm you send me a clip

[dusky fiber]

Kk

[steep ice]

im good at flip resets

[crystal helm]

Proof

[urban tree]

haha

I can reset most of the time, sometimes double, still quite rare tho, and ive only once tripple reset

[novel canyon]

can someone do a replay review of one of my games and help me

[dusky fiber]

Not at home rn unfortunately, but in general what do u need? Rank? What do u stuggle with?

[crystal helm]

Says the fake gc2 who is probably silver 3

[restive aspen]

🤷‍♂️

[novel canyon]

i found a good ones match to go through, and although it was close i simply just dont really know much what i couldve done better (aside from the few mechanical errors), and i need a different perspective to see if there is anything i could've done better

[crystal helm]

Bro silver stealing clips off tiktok funniest thing ever

Cause he thinks he is Kool

Plat 2 nah bro

I'm diamond 3 almost champ mate and I'm playing on my laptop cause I'm on vacation

[novel canyon]

kool what rank are you?

would you be able to do the review

[left lichen]

uhm.. what

[novel canyon]

?

[abstract minnow]

yo so whats the fastest an most efficient way to improve

want to actually progress out of gc2 this season

would grinding 1s be the best bet for that?

feel like im getting no where grinding 2s

and my 1s rank is always like d3 c1 for the most part

[wet kiln]

watching your replays and actually improving on the mistakes you find

but effort lol

[lapis compass]

Playing variety of 1s and 2s games watching replays and analizing mistakes allowing your brain to expand on it.

[dusky fiber]

Besides watching replays and improving mechs 1s will def help, especially if u are around dia-c1 there i feel like thats very low for progressing, yh focus on 1s and play it more, would say min goal is being c3, gc1 the goal, otherwise u will prob have issues getting higher as 1v1s still take a huge part in 2s, and all the things that come with it like kick offs, shadow defense, dribblings, etc.

[abstract minnow]

i do that

feel like im missing something

nothings clicking

gonna try and keep my 1s games close to the number of 2s games i play this season for sure

[vernal blade]

im hard stuck in gold because my team mates always ball chase forcing me to defend all match and they never make shooting chances, any tips?

[timber plume]

is there any coaches able to help me progress through champ, been hardstuck for a while and can discuss payments

[lapis compass]

Find a friend to play with and build up synergy

[abstract minnow]

yea imma try and get c3 or gc1 this season

[umbral crag]

just grind to c3-gc1 1s ^^

[abstract minnow]

i played some 6mans and realized how bad i am compared to people in the same rank as me

especially in 1v1 scenarios

[umbral crag]

if you are gc2 in 2s c3 should be easily doable

[dusky fiber]

Sounds good 👍🏽

[vernal blade]

pretty much all my friends who play are diamond+

or theyre like silver and can barely play

[cyan prawn]

im c1 and idk how to rank up

[abstract minnow]

yea looking at it now i peaked 1046 in 1s

in s 16 (before f2p)

[dusky fiber]

2 things, 1. play defensive and dont chase. 2. practice powershots on target, this alone gets u higher without needing your mates

[abstract minnow]

after that consistently played maybe 20 matches and stayed d3-c1 in it

[umbral crag]

that's 9 mmr from c2 with the new mmr distribution

[abstract minnow]

yea it was barely c2 even in season 16 looks like

[dusky fiber]

Look more around u this makes your decisionmaking way easier, rotate more around the small pads to stay in rotation, play 1s to improve individually, play less risky and dont overcommit for instance in corners, look at yourself more rather then teammate, if u just blame mates there is nothing to improve on

[vernal blade]

im tryna queue rn and whenever i join it just says im banned? is it permanent?

[abstract minnow]

im sitting at 980 rn after grinding a bit this morning in 1s so far its been a breeze but going to keep pushing

[vernal blade]

theres no temp matchmaking ban timer or anything

[abstract minnow]

already seeing my kickoff needs some serious work

[cyan prawn]

yh idk like i gained 100 mmr in 1s yesterday then i played 2s and i felt like my tm8 wasnt ever there

[abstract minnow]

i get bailed out so much in 2s on kickoff and rotating off a kickoff

went for mid boost a couple times and left net WIDE open

[dusky fiber]

Yh, there is variety, there will be people who are faster, then play smarter without thinking u have to beat him, 1s is a lot about mindgames, if he is faster, delay kick off with 1 low jump, u prob win the kick off, next time he thinks u do it again u will be faster etc.

[dusky fiber]

Yh always depends where the ball goes if u can rotate to the mid boost or should rotate with the small pads in middle

[wet kiln]

How do i stop playing bad after i play good for 2 hours

[solid grove]

Has PR gone down this season was c2 like 2 seasons ago and somehow gone down to d2

[umbral crag]

pr?

[dusky root]

How do I get back to diamond again

[solid grove]

Not pr I forgot what it was called

[safe barn]

mmr?

[solid grove]

Yes

Has it gone down

Because I remember it was well high at one point

[safe barn]

why?

it sets u back a little every season

[umbral crag]

what

[safe barn]

mmr

[solid grove]

No but I was C2 2 seasons ago and now I’m back at d2

And my skill level hasn’t changed but the players have got a little better

[umbral crag]

you wouldn't drop a whole rank set if you didn't get worse

[solid grove]

No that’s where I’ve been placed

I won like 7/10 qualifiers

[cyan prawn]

i mean i know s10 gcs in d1

they havent gotten worse they just get stressed easily

[night ridge]

what should i focus on improving/learning at silver-gold level?

[cyan prawn]

being able to do power clears and hitting the ball hard

and some basic aerials too

[near jackal]

i keep on getting worse i am stuck in dia for ages i don,t improve or getting better

i am since s3 dia

[wet kiln]

how consistently do you play?

[near jackal]

wdym?

[wispy charm]

I'm low plat but I tilt so easily and I feel like my mechanics are alright, what do I focus on?

[safe barn]

rotation

[nocturne breach]

depends what you understand by alright, either way, focus on not whiffing the ball and try to hit it EXACTLY where you want it to go

[nocturne breach]

if done properly, this will take you higher than you would ever expect from low plat

if you play anything else other than 1s, focus on backpost rotation, master these 2 things and you get champ

[wispy charm]

I hit most of the aerials I got for (80%) I try this by going into training packs and whatever and focusing on this and everytime I fell as though I'm doing the exact same hit as before but it goes in a different direction

[wet kiln]

Do you play once a week once a day once a month? Like that sort of thing

[wispy charm]

thanks

[nocturne breach]

make it 100% everytime and with power

the sooner you learn the basics the better

[wispy charm]

thank you

[nocturne breach]

np

[wispy charm]

does the thing I play the game on matter? if I can, should I switch to PC?

[nocturne breach]

pc is usually better, but if you have 120+ fps and more than 60hz then is fine

[wispy charm]

I play on switch😭

[solid grove]

Anyone ever played with a stiring wheel on here?

[nocturne breach]

RIP

[nocturne breach]

switch to pc asap

[steep ice]

i play on pc my game can easily get 300+ fps but my monitor is only 60hz

[safe barn]

i just played against 2 smurfs in 1s

[wispy charm]

aight

[cyan prawn]

samee

[safe barn]

mie were about gc

mine*

[cyan prawn]

yh they mine said they were gc2

[safe barn]

cool

[steep ice]

how were they smurfs

[safe barn]

d2 against gc?

[steep ice]

some gcs are just d1 in 1s

[safe barn]

gc title this season

[steep ice]

yeah most gc players are diamond in 1s

i hate 1s tho

[lilac hazel]

what’s an ideal kickoff

[safe barn]

spped flip?

[steep ice]

depends

normally its a speed kickoff

in 2s i try to get it back for my team m8

[lilac hazel]

how do i do that

[steep ice]

hit the bal but you have to angle your car when touching the ball sothat it can roll to one of the back corners at a decent speed

[lilac hazel]

so should i flip into the ball

[steep ice]

depends when doing a speed kickoff normally i dont but a normal kick of i do

[steep ice]

what rank are you

[lilac hazel]

d1

[steep ice]

ok then just do normal kickoff learn to do a speed kickoff but start using it at like d3 and up

[lilac hazel]

what’s a normal kickoff just hitting and hope it’s good

[mortal quail]

Boost forward and hit the center of the ball
If you want to delay it you can front flip then flip again

[lapis compass]

Any tips for a ground player stuck in champion 3 ( last season gc )

2v2

Champion 2 atm in 1v1

[steep ice]

either you can try to hit it forward or back corner

[dusky fiber]

What do u struggle with the most? (Besides in air)

[lapis compass]

Well i struggle to win games since i dont fly much ( i can i am just not good at it) and ground plays stopped working for some reason

[dusky fiber]

The most difficult part is prob facing 2, as the first will force u to flick and the other one gets it easy before u, try get better with the basics in air but crazy spins or more advanced mechs are usually not needed to get to low gc1, so if u are alright with that it should be fine, try those and will leave there mate alone, so try to be more patient when to fully commit to the play and if u see the chance go for it, adapting is also key, dont play too static and always try doing ground dibbles, at some point it will be very predictable and hard for u, for more detailed things i would need to see a replay of your playstyle

[cyan sage]

can someone give me some tips how to get out of gold

[steep ice]

wait

and take free shots

[cyan sage]

that's boring

[steep ice]

you probably dont even have to defend the opponents cant score even when its open just wait for someone to mess up and get a free goal

[steep ice]

so you want to stay in gold?

[cyan sage]

no

shittest elo to get out with platin

[lapis compass]

I could provide you one

Just let me boot up the game and play some games

[nocturne breach]

you can stay on the ground the entire game, you don't have to jump, just when they are close to your net, under any circumstance, you cannot let them do a banger from a close range

if you are in that situation tho, you still have to jump and predict

[cyan sage]

no shit i am

im deranking

[nocturne breach]

another reason to aerial is when one of the opponents is with the ball in the air and one of you has to commit as first man]

[cyan sage]

😭

[nocturne breach]

but is in the net tho

[cyan sage]

no

it doesnt work for me

i actually need someone to help like rlly

[nocturne breach]

how many times do you miss the ball

[cyan sage]

idk how am i supposed to play nowadays

[cyan sage]

mostly in air

on ground idk not often

[nocturne breach]

then improve your aerials

[nocturne breach]

then try not to miss and improve your accuracy

and get used to the car

[cyan sage]

i dont think i need aerials in gold

[lapis compass]

Yeah im good in defence its the offence that isnt working

[dusky fiber]

Get better with powershots on target and dont chase

[cyan sage]

they cant even jump here

[nocturne breach]

you will need them later anyway

[cyan sage]

i knopw

[nocturne breach]

you can fill the support role and let your teammate score then

you can do smart bumps and passes

[cyan sage]

i can aerial but i can't consistenly aerial to any high shoot

[nocturne breach]

but i am sure there are ways to score on the ground as well

even if it is 2s or 3s

[nocturne breach]

do training packs

it will help your aerial accuracy

[lapis compass]

Yeah that will work thx

[warped kraken]

Hey guys, I have a problem with Rocket League, I can't play on my account

[lapis compass]

Whys that

[warped kraken]

What

.؟؟

[lapis compass]

Why cant you

Is there a reason or anything?

[warped kraken]

I have a problem and I want to solve it. is there a problem?

[lapis compass]

I know you have a problem can you explain in depth what the problem is

Except that you cant play on ypur acount

[warped kraken]

I will send you pictures privately if you want so you can see the problem

[lapis compass]

Sure

[warped kraken]

I sent you pictures

[storm crypt]

How do u get out of d3 div 4 - c1 div 2

It’s a hell hole here

Worse than plat

[nocturne breach]

why do you think u are losing

[storm crypt]

Idk

Teammates are shxt

[nocturne breach]

do you analyze your replays

[storm crypt]

Alright

[storm crypt]

No I don’t

[nocturne breach]

you should do that

[astral umbra]

im stuck in diamond, anyone have tips for rotations etc

[versed umbra]

okay so you know how like CoD has a minimap in the bottom corner, if RL had that would you use it?

or would it confuse you since its something new

[astral umbra]

Yeah

[versed umbra]

what are you in 3s @astral umbra

[astral umbra]

Unranked atm

[versed umbra]

lol

[astral umbra]

why lol

[versed umbra]

2s mains pfffft

[astral umbra]

i was gonna go 3v3 actually lmao-

[nocturne breach]

the map is too small for that

[versed umbra]

3s rank is your real rank IMO

yeah it probably would have to be too small to be useful

but I guess when youre higher rank and your teammates all rotate correctly then you should always know where evveryone is at all times

[astral umbra]

i do

[nocturne breach]

yeah, doesnt happen in low ranks

[versed umbra]

a couple seasons ago I was one win from C1 in 2s, now I'm one loss from Plat 3

[astral umbra]

lol

[versed umbra]

So now I just play 3s because its better

[nocturne breach]

3s is too chaotic without proper team

but is the easiest mode where you can win soloq if you have enough patience and game sense

[versed umbra]

you have to manage the game sometimes like CoD where you have to make sure the other team doesnt spawn behind you

[ornate isle]

lfg is dead for 3s lol

[ornate isle]

3s rank?

[versed umbra]

I cant remember the last time I saw anyone looking for Snowday. I almost hit D2 in snowday yesterday. Im still close.

[nocturne breach]

i didnt play ranked since s11

[ornate isle]

lmao

[nocturne breach]

i was low gc in 3s in s10 or 11

[ornate isle]

falsest statement ive ever heard

[versed umbra]

Ok. Snowday rank is your real rank

[nocturne breach]

i am a snowday player, i hit gc in it in s11

but unfortunately cant find games

[ornate isle]

gc is easy in snowday lmao

i got ssl in all modes last seaason lmao

[nocturne breach]

it depends on the time when ur playing

[versed umbra]

snowday forces you to play ground game and rotate well, and win 50s

[nocturne breach]

3s too?

[versed umbra]

i love it

[ornate isle]

yh

[severe arch]

i do not exist then

[versed umbra]

Rip

[nocturne breach]

u c3 in 3s after placements?

or ur unranked

[ornate isle]

im not allowed to talk otherwise i will be banned from discord lmao

[versed umbra]

last night I was watching a stream of some $100 3s tourney and I fell asleep in the Grand Finals, did anyone happen to watch it? It was Pen Pals vs 100x35 or something

[ornate isle]

currently like something in 1500 i think

[versed topaz]

Could anyone coach me? I'm c1 in 2s, idk what I'm doing wrong in my gameplay

[glacial dagger]

Start watching your replays.

[ornate isle]

u miss the ball

[cyan sage]

I'm not sure, but is this the place to ask questions about how to improve in a game?

[wet kiln]

yes it is

[cyan sage]

I have 560 hours of playtime in-game and am currently ranked platinum. I'm looking to improve my skills, focusing primarily on aerial dribbling and learning how to air roll. While I am aware of the many YouTube videos and training packs available, I am hoping to receive some guidance from experienced players. Their knowledge could be very helpful for my future progress. Thank you in advance.

[potent summit]

Are you looking to rank up? Or do you just wanna learn air dribbles?

[cyan sage]

I mean I would like both as I would to get better

[potent summit]

Well in plat you could win a match without jumping/flipping at all. It’s all about good positioning.

[steep ice]

air dribbles are easy i could help you

[cyan sage]

that is true but im a type of guy that I would like to give my all and learn many skills, It's like a challenge for me

[potent summit]

In that case then you’d be better off with YouTube and sitting in training learning mechanics

[cyan sage]

that would be fantastic, I am really sluggish at air dribbles just started recently

[potent summit]

If you want to learn game sense then that’s teachable 1 on 1, mechanics just come with practice. YouTube has literally all the answers.

[cyan sage]

Okay then i'm in the right path but I find it a slow peace of improvement

[steep ice]

no worries il tell you how to do it and tips that helped me to learn that nobody told me about

[glacial dagger]

Don't forget game sense!

[steep ice]

some you tube vids explain them but yt vids cant help someone on the main part that they are struggling on

[cyan sage]

I just admire how top tier ranks play, it's so aesthetic to watch them play or even sometimes encounter one

[potent summit]

Tbh, I’ve peaked at 1630 which is GC2 (2s) and I still can’t flip reset, I rarely air dribble, can’t do any crazy flicks.

[steep ice]

yeah yeah im gonna turn him into a free play monster then game sense

[cyan sage]

I'm not saying I master game sense but i feel comfortable on that part

[glacial dagger]

I agree, although, trying to play like them will mess you up.

[glacial dagger]

😭😭

[potent summit]

No offence, but if you struggle in platinum with over 500 hours then game sense is 100% the reason you can’t win.

[steep ice]

or his hours isn't play time its just afk in game time

[glacial dagger]

Just a quick game sense tip, in solo queue's, stay back because when they lose possession with a bang, you're going to have to attack like a bomb.

If you're in Plat,

[cyan sage]

im still 560 hrs and I try my best to improve on my low hours, it's like a task for me haha

[glacial dagger]

there's like a 80% chance that they just bang the ball into your side.

[steep ice]

plat in solo q is just wait for them to make a mistake and get free goal

[cyan sage]

you are such a good soul haha, when you are free ^^?

[glacial dagger]

Always take advantage of their mistakes.

[potent summit]

SSL isn’t the Rocket League most of us know, it’s a completely different game with different opportunities that most people won’t see. Watching People like Leth you might think it’s not that fast and he’s not doing anything crazy but when you’re in that situation it’s a completely different game. You’re better off watching champs play because it’s more realistic goal to aim for over the next few months.

[steep ice]

probably tomorrow

[glacial dagger]

Even in my champ lobbies, they don't know how to take advantage of mistakes.

You see two guys double commit and your teammate is still trying to get the boost after 6 attempts.

[steep ice]

rhis is actually very smart

[vast salmon]

facts

[glacial dagger]

This is very true.

I was watching squishy yesterday and dude.. I swear this man plays on 2x speed.

[vast salmon]

also facts

[cyan sage]

no offence taken, I'm here to learn. I would like to point out that most of my struggle in plat is to connect that goal. What I mean i'm not the highest scorer maybe that is one of my flaws

[reef tartan]

how do i fix lost confidence? I feel like half of my whiffs are from my controller Ds4 its very uncomfortable for me, but thats all i have. Everything i see a shot i hesitate way to much even when i used my friends controller i am still hesitating to hit shots

[glacial dagger]

Hm..

[potent summit]

Don’t shoot then. Most of the time in plat you can just drive it in.

[cyan sage]

isn't afk I try to minimize my afk so my I can see my hours and reflect my progress

[vast salmon]

just play like you are playing against toddlers, do not even try to sweat

thats how i got up

[glacial dagger]

This loss of confidence can from bad experiences with teammates or just not really understanding game sense all that well.

[cyan sage]

okay are you in Epic or Steam?

[steep ice]

bro just play stop thinking about losing

[potent summit]

DM me I’ll play now and give you some tips

[glacial dagger]

My tip, don't hesitate pushing.

[steep ice]

im on epic

[glacial dagger]

Now, of course.. don't ball-chase.

But when you have the opportunity to go for the ball, aerial into that bad boy.

Low ranks suck with pressure.

[steep ice]

one of my friends ball chase hard and their response is "what?, im enjoying myself "

[glacial dagger]

And of course, this ^

[cyan sage]

thanks for the advice, I try to calculate each time my teammate miss the ball I could defend the counter attack which most case I do it good

[glacial dagger]

Just keep doing that, but even when they hit the ball..

Defense is easier than offense and you know for a fact that that ball is going to go back.

If you continue to think that you're going to lose, you're going to lose.

[steep ice]

@glacial dagger you want my strat in solo q

[glacial dagger]

Shoot.

[potent summit]

Just depends what outcome you want. To have fun and not care about rank, or to play efficiently and win all games.

[glacial dagger]

I guess you could keep this in mind..

[potent summit]

Can’t do both unfortunately, unless you’re peaking lol

[steep ice]

i tske ball from my tm8 and get a air dribble flip reset on target doesn't matter if they save or not but thats normally enough to prove to my tm8 that he can pass to me and il score

[cyan sage]

I am no expert but what I learn in life if you don't feel confidence in yourself you are at your 50% of yourself and mostly you will end up failing. you need to manadge to control your mind or maybe trick it so you can achieve it. I learned this in the military driving a ship (either I crash a 3 million ship or learn how to maneuver it haha)

[cyan sage]

on it

[glacial dagger]

So manipulation? Sounds good to me!

[steep ice]

with one friend i rank up and with the other one we have fun

[potent summit]

lol try saying that in GC when someone is double flip reset musty off the backboard

Better to just not let them get possession ever

[glacial dagger]

Well yeah,

[steep ice]

is it manipulation tho?

[glacial dagger]

but actually stopping that play is considered defense as well.

[cyan sage]

I'm on steam but I think we could stil add each other right?

[steep ice]

yeah we can

[glacial dagger]

I mean, you're forcefully gaining their trust.

But, I'm sure it works so.. I don't see a problem with it.

[steep ice]

i mean i should have their trust to begin with until i make a mistake

[glacial dagger]

Facts 🤷‍♂️

[reef tartan]

I have some bad experiences form some dudes here, some scream and say i suck and shit😂 😂 So now when i play with someone i get really anxious and play like a Bronze player. For Context I am Plat 2 in 1v1

[glacial dagger]

Take a look at this, (I don't feel like writing it again..)

[glacial dagger]

^

[fathom gate]

Ive just realised ive taken in so many different "tips" from so many different people that i dont even know if they are correct or helpful

Ive been told i need to challenge early, ive been told i need to sit and wait for someones touch

[glacial dagger]

Game styles vary.

[fathom gate]

Ive been told not to challenge in the corner

[glacial dagger]

Somethings work better for others.

[steep ice]

i used to be like this until i realized i dont really care about other people's rank and it makes no difference to me when they get mad

[glacial dagger]

That's a good tip.

[fathom gate]

Ok nice

[reef tartan]

Okay☺️

[steep ice]

dont challenge in their corner always challenge in your own corner

[glacial dagger]

Challenging the corner really just puts you in a bad position.

[glacial dagger]

NOOO

[fathom gate]

Ive been told i always need to go for a demo if its a 2v1

[steep ice]

yes

[fathom gate]

Is thata even true

[steep ice]

or is it other way around

[fathom gate]

Huh

[glacial dagger]

I'm almost 100% sure it's the other way around.

[steep ice]

oh then mb

[glacial dagger]

See,

[fathom gate]

What about this

[steep ice]

im just back post on defense lol

[glacial dagger]

when the ball is in your corner, the opponent has a HORRIBLE angle and if you're back post, you can easily save any wall passes.

[steep ice]

depends if you have the ball or not but if you dont then go for the demo

[fathom gate]

Is back post behind the goal line or in front of the goal line

[steep ice]

bro if they let me in their corner with full boost its over

[fathom gate]

I mean i know its on the other side of which the ball is on but

[glacial dagger]

Some people don't know how to defend their corners 🤷‍♂️

[steep ice]

its outside the post

[glacial mauve]

No no he had it right. Always challenge on your side and play passive until the right opportunity arises on theirs

[fathom gate]

Ok thanks

[glacial dagger]

Seems like a risky move though?

If you challenge and lose,

[fathom gate]

How about this

[glacial dagger]

you risk putting yourself in a bad position.

[steep ice]

yeah cuz i think a 5050 in own corner has a way higher chance of me winning

[glacial mauve]

Thats why you want your teammate behind you

Dont do it if they're not

[glacial dagger]

Wouldn't it be better to be backboard when the ball is in your corner?

If you have a teammate of course.

If they try and shoot it high, you're already there to cut it.

If they shoot it low, your teammate is there to bang it for a pass.

[steep ice]

its also hard to lose a 50 in ones own corner cuz the ball can basically only go out on the wall or to tm8

[glacial dagger]

Or to the opponent.

[glacial mauve]

I normally play at goal post and let my teammate challenge and then if they dont win the 50 then I wait for them to rotate back and then I challenge opponents. Thats what I would do

[glacial dagger]

Hm..

[steep ice]

nah dw i wont let that happen

[glacial dagger]

This is a logical process.

Personally, I'm a firm believer that game sense isn't necessarily teaching people the right way to play.

[glacial mauve]

Thats how me and a friend of mine played last night in the plat lobbies. We lost like one out of ten games lol

[glacial dagger]

I believe that game sense is teaching people the right way for themselves to play.

[steep ice]

when my tm8 is already there i wait for the 50 and instantly rush when the 50 is over if im in the corner i try to go for the 50 and get a air dribble started

[glacial dagger]

All logical answers.

It really just depends what your game style is and how you've developed your game sense.

[steep ice]

i have the worst game sense you will ever see

[glacial dagger]

For example, I would scale my game sense as slightly passive.

Polaroid does seem to have a more aggressive play style and that's good.

[steep ice]

my game sense is get ball make a play if i dont get it its my t8 problem

[glacial dagger]

Game sense is really just the way people understand the game and how they use that information to play it.

[boreal yoke]

Any1 looking to play rn?

[glacial mauve]

You cant be too passive though cause they'll take advantage of it

[manic magnet]

Any one have any tips to improve (I’m gold)

[glacial dagger]

Of course not,

[steep ice]

yeah makes sense

[glacial dagger]

they'll read you like a book.

[glacial mauve]

Yep

[glacial dagger]

I'm inclined into passiveness but, when aggressivity is an option, go for it.

I've seen way too many people play passively when the ball is literally in their hands.

[steep ice]

i just like to yell at the top of my lungs to my duo "FULL RUSH, FULL RUSH" (we both have 0 boost)

[glacial dagger]

Like, they wait for the opponent to go from their side to get a 50.

[glacial mauve]

Be patient. If the ball is in their corner then wait for them to make the first touch. If its in your corner then challenge them (as long as your teammate is behind you preferably near goal post) so that if you lose the 50 your teammate can swoop in and clear the ball out

[glacial dagger]

You can't become good at RL if you don't understand your own play style.

If you can't describe your play style, change your play style.

I don't mean like unpredictability.

I'm talking about, if you don't know wether you're a passive or aggressive player, that play style might not be the best to help you win and/or rank up.

[steep ice]

i cant describe mine

[glacial dagger]

Yeah but,

your mechanics help you.

[steep ice]

mine is just try to win

[glacial dagger]

Game sense varies person to person.

[steep ice]

yeah thats true i think im relying on my mechs too much

[glacial dagger]

Some have casual game sense and some have competitive game sense.

The main goal should always be to enjoy the experience as you win.

[glacial mauve]

I've been told that mechanics aren't really a big deal up until you reach like plat 2 or 3. Thats when the majority of people are aerialing and everything

[steep ice]

me and my duo have very good chemistry but we both have bad game sense

[glacial mauve]

Replied to the wrong thing but that^

[glacial dagger]

Basic mechanics are needed for good game sense.

Like aerials and half flips.

[steep ice]

when i was plat i learned how to air dribble by the time i got to diamond the game was easy

[glacial dagger]

I'm a game sense coach so.. (My air dribbles are as dry as popeyes' buiscuits)

[glacial mauve]

I know how to air dribble but I cant dribble for the life of me. Still trying to get better at that.

[glacial dagger]

Really?

I find it easier for me to dribble.

[glacial mauve]

Yeah, idk. Hard for me to keep the car center enough for the ball to not move off

[glacial dagger]

Yeah I get you.

I'm decent at it.

I should add flicks to it though ngl.

[glacial mauve]

How long have you been playing?

[steep ice]

i can do both well my air play is still better i do struggle with ground flicks ive never really bothered to learn all of them

[glacial dagger]

Probably around 250 hours.

Although, I take my breaks pretty seriously.

[glacial mauve]

I've been prioritizing aerial shots like wall to air dribbling but I havent really focused on ground stuff. Probably should though

[steep ice]

my playstyle doesn't really suit the game well since i need a lot of boost to be able to do something

[glacial mauve]

Whats your rank?

[cyan sage]

From what I'm reading, it seems you are more affected by your character's traits than your in-game skills. I would suggest that you leave all these thoughts behind because you are clearly overthinking. What is important is to enjoy the game. Remember, it's just a game and is meant to be enjoyed. Don't hold yourself back. Perhaps try listening to some music while playing; it certainly helps me and puts me in a good mood.

[glacial dagger]

Peak C2, currently getting out the hell hole known as D3.

The soft reset kind of threw me.

And I haven't found a good teammate.

[steep ice]

damn for 250 hrs thats good i only saw champ at 300 hrs and i was getting vlose to gc but then i took a massive break

[glacial mauve]

Ah yeah im just sitting at plat 2 div 4. But I have like 2 days of playtime so hopefully soon I can do dribbling. Just heard it takes time.

[glacial dagger]

It does take some time.

Truth,

[steep ice]

you play on pc right?

[glacial mauve]

Yeah

[glacial dagger]

I really just got better on the ground because I always thought I wasn't good enough to learn air dribble stuff.

[steep ice]

there is a bakkes mod plugin that helps with dribbles it shows were to hold the ball

[glacial mauve]

I have bakkes mod installed but I've just been using a RL map. Whats the plugin called?

[steep ice]

i was kinda forced to learn air stuff cuz i always played with people way better than me and that was the expectation

[signal lintel]

Where's the menu to edit my character's traits tho

[glacial dagger]

Yeah, I get you.

That's why I like finding teammates who can sort of cover for me.

I do ground stuff, they do air stuff.

[steep ice]

i dont remember but you should definitely watch a yt video on what the best plug-ins are i think it should be on there

[glacial dagger]

Easy stuff.

[glacial mauve]

I'll look into it ty

[steep ice]

i like team m8ts who can read wall shots if i cant score cuz they are in the net i shoot the ball back board

[cyan sage]

that is something you need to learn, everyone is different.

[glacial dagger]

Queueing 2's right now, lets see how it goes..

[glacial dagger]

Reading shots can be difficult.

[glacial mauve]

Praying for you 🙏 I've had horrible teammates solo queuing

[glacial dagger]

I'm sure..

[steep ice]

idk ive been good at it for a while but i got to admit some wall shots go to super random places that aren't expected

[steep ice]

im scared to q cuz im on a 11 win streak lol

[glacial dagger]

I'm just trying to get a good thing going here.

My teammate just hesitated going for the ball... this is D3..

[steep ice]

and i dont know if im gonna lag or not

[mortal quail]

Never be scared to play the game

[glacial mauve]

Ngl my friend carried me last night from plat 1 so im scared to queue and possibly lose plat 2

[steep ice]

nah im scared im gonna lag and throw my mmr

[cyan sage]

yeah so scared to q 2s i hit d1

[steep ice]

cuz i dont have wifi were im at yet so i Hotspot my entire house

[cyan sage]

14 game win streak

[glacial mauve]

Yikes😭

[cyan sage]

💀

[glacial mauve]

Ping must be non existent

[steep ice]

ikr im getting fiber tmr

[glacial dagger]

Yeah, we just lost 4-1

[mortal quail]

Its 9 mmr
Shit happens

[glacial dagger]

I'm sobbing rn 💀

[steep ice]

it goes from 40 -990 normally my ping is 6ms

[steep ice]

that was quick

[glacial dagger]

It was.

[glacial mauve]

Not surprised in the slightest

[glacial dagger]

My teammate hesitated like 3 shots.

His positioning was questionable.

[glacial mauve]

Yeah getting fiber is a life changer

[steep ice]

yeah but im up like 100 and sum mmr

[glacial dagger]

It was a very odd game.

Might just play 1's atp.

[steep ice]

if i lose once the lose streak is gonna grab me

[signal lintel]

I honestly don't know if I've ever been on a double digit win streak unless my rank was super low. That's wild to me. Are people just that inconsistent? Or inconsistent internet?

[mortal quail]

So why be scared, don't be

[reef tartan]

never tried playing with music before, i will try that and also just try to enjoy the game. I overthink and mostly worried about how my team mate feels about how i am playing. I will stop doing that now. Thank you

[cyan sage]

i range from p1-d1 lmaoo

[dry marsh]

@mortal quail coach me

[dry marsh]

ironic

[mortal quail]

Usually it happens when people don't queue for awhile then after improving they farm. However some do massive tilt queue streaks

[mortal quail]

Uncoachable

[signal lintel]

Hmm makes sense

[dry marsh]

you aint even tried

[steep ice]

its because i took like a 12 month break and now that im back im destroying my lobbies

my opponents dont relize whats about to happen to them

[signal lintel]

😼

[steep ice]

bro but ping makes the game look weird so when they look at replay and im teleporting they think im hacking

[cyan sage]

general tip in life never think what other think about you after all no one really care about you. I must charge for my advice and be a guru haha 😛

[steep ice]

lol

[glacial dagger]

I am not a 1's player at all.

[reef tartan]

😂 most def, you should be a guru

Thanks tho you are very right

[steep ice]

you playing 1s?!

[cyan sage]

any time brother Hakuna matata (lion King)

[glacial dagger]

Yes, unfortunately.

[glacial mauve]

Im a gold in 1s lol

[steep ice]

1s is one of the best ways to improve imo but its also very frustrating

[steep ice]

i think im like plat but i used to be high diamond

[wet kiln]

imo 1s is the place to put what mechs you have learnt into real situations

[glacial dagger]

It is.

Noone to blame but yourself.

It's good for 2's and okay for 3's.

1v1's very common in 2's.

It's just so annoying because well, if you make a mistake it's not a team problem, you're the problem 💀

The 1's rank also does NOT translate to other ranks. A plat in 1's is like C2 in 2's 💀

Yuhh, Plat 2 Div 4 in 1's.

[steep ice]

nah bro my mechanics become non existent in 1s if they save or i miss its a free goal i normally just go for flicks or try to win 50s

[ancient finch]

In 1s you dont have the rotation aspwct in the game which is the most important part in higher ranks d3+. I would say play 1s if ur not consistent with defense and ball control but other thant that it wont help much in 2s

[steep ice]

i was d3 in 1s when i was d2 in 2s a while back

[glacial dagger]

quick aerials are crazy dawg

[steep ice]

i do the double jump one

[glacial dagger]

me too

[regal charm]

hi guys i am gold would anyone be willing to teach me some things on a call

[cyan sage]

thats not the fastest way to do so..

[nocturne breach]

1s has nothing to do with 3s

[glacial dagger]

Hence 'okay'.

[nocturne breach]

yh but still it doesn't help much, maybe when you are last man in 1v1 situation which is very rare

in 3s you do challenges you wouldn't normally do in 1s

or boom the ball instead of keeping it close

[loud lynx]

Can somebody teach me

[cinder tundra]

1s (depends on how you play it) can help you with recoveries more usefull mechs and flicks that are super important. also the fact that you are improving your awarenes if someone is chaleging

[cyan sage]

Lf for someone to teach me basic air dribble

[nocturne breach]

2s is kind of a "bridge" between 3s and 1s because it takes elements from both modes, but still 1s and 3s are completely opposites

[cinder tundra]

dm for coaching

[nocturne breach]

i don't play ranked 1s to learn flicks or mechs lol, freeplay exist

[glacial dagger]

🤷‍♂️

[cinder tundra]

using it in 1s you can improve on adapting around a serten player and see if he prejumps you maby have to drop the ball etc.

[nocturne breach]

1s is restricting a lot of my mechs, which are very good for 2s and 3s, but too risky for 1s

and besides, i dont like ground play

[nocturne breach]

you can learn these in other modes as well not just 1s

[cinder tundra]

ofc but it becomes more critical when you are playing 1s hence you have to focus more and you cant let yourself make anny simple or small mistakes

may i ask ari what rank are you in 2s 3s n 1s?

[nocturne breach]

last time i played was in s11, i am unranked in all modes now

peak is c1 1s gc 2s gc1 3s

[cyan sage]

bro doesnt even play anymore..

[nocturne breach]

i was only c1 in 1s because i restricted my mechs just to get the rank, but i dont like the mode

[cinder tundra]

how manny hours?

[nocturne breach]

why would that be important

since i am not grinding for ssl and i am casual player

[cinder tundra]

tbh you shuldnt play 1s for the rank and only to improve mechs

[cinder tundra]

just wondering

[nocturne breach]

3k

[cinder tundra]

ye thought so

[nocturne breach]

what are you suggesting

[cinder tundra]

dw dude you do you

1s dont matter its okay

[nocturne breach]

lol

do you realise i am not playing for rank 💀

[nocturne breach]

i have ssl friends that dont touch 1s

[cinder tundra]

cus they dont need it

[nocturne breach]

yh

and ur point was?

at some point they were my rank before getting to ssl, out of 50 games that i play, only 2-3 are in regular ranked modes 💀

you dont need 1s to be good in 2s or 3s

[ancient finch]

Idk why ppl sstill think 1s r neccessary for2s rank

Its completely diff gamemofe

Andplaystyle

[nocturne breach]

they grind 1s and they think they are guru of rl

[ancient finch]

Playing 1s makes u better at 1s and playing 2s makesu better at2s its that simple

[nocturne breach]

this dude thinks he's a pro player just because he's playing 1s and is making fun of others

actually every 1s player is like that

[ancient finch]

Somr ppl enjoy 1s

[nocturne breach]

they need validation

[nocturne breach]

yh, i am talking about people saying you won't get a certain rank in 3s if u dont play 1s 💀

[nocturne breach]

this is an example

bro thinks 1s helps with 3s

[ancient finch]

Doesnt make sensr

Its like thinking air dribbles r gonnahelp u rank up just bcs sometimes u score goals from them

[nocturne breach]

everytime i play with a 1s main they are so bad to play with

in 2s and 3s

they don't have any sense of rotation or passing, they just go for 50s in their corners

[potent summit]

Depends how you play. I like to play 2s like 1s but with an extra person.

But I still include passes most of the time. Passes are OP like 80% of the time.

[nocturne breach]

that's not a good mentality

you have to be aware of ur tm all the time

[potent summit]

Well it got me to GC2

[potent summit]

Why wouldn’t I be aware of my teammate?

[nocturne breach]

idk, you made it sound like he's just filling the space in the game

[potent summit]

Nooo, what I mean is if you’re playing 1v1 you’re not gonna constantly go for flip resets and constant air dribbles are you. But seems like in 2s people think that’s what you need to do to win 😂

[nocturne breach]

that's different from what i thought it was at first

[uneven pier]

if anyone needs advice on anything in 1s, dm me, i’ll be online in a bit, my gt is xzekrom.

[potent summit]

I can’t flip reset consistently, I barely air dribble, rarely ceiling shot. I just use great positioning and ground plays and got 1650 lol

[nocturne breach]

nice

[potent summit]

OP

have you ever faked a fake the fake when faking

Seems fake to me

[ancient finch]

well u play against 2 players so u dont have that much time on the ball depending on ur rank

[potent summit]

Yeah so just act as if it’s a 1v1 situation but twice in a row. Flick over the first and demo the last, cut round the first and 50 the last, or do anything to beat the first and then get a free 2v1. Unless you’re low rank and you’ve got 2 opponents pushing at the same time.

[ancient finch]

and how many times do you have tim eto do that in 1game?

this happens 1-2 max in single game

[potent summit]

In GC2 quite a lot of time

[ancient finch]

alr in gc2 it maybe happening nmoire]

in champ this type of scenarios almost dont exist

[potent summit]

2-3 seconds to take possession and create an outplay is more than long enough. Then it’s a free 2v1 and there’s so many options.

[potent summit]

It definitely does, you’re just not in the right position to do it or you’re not taking control of the match.

[ancient finch]

yeah ik what ur talking about I usually make plays in the air tho

[potent summit]

Most of the time you can just take a 50 from their 1st man, don’t flip just single jump. They will go flying past you and you’ve still got possession and it’s an instant 2v1

[ancient finch]

im not fan of flicks

[potent summit]

Then just air dribble over 1, catch the ball and do it again lol

Or just hit it off backboard and double tap

[ancient finch]

with at least 1guy challenging opr being close its hard to make a good play or setp

[fathom gate]

Someone gc or smthn watch a reply of mine

[ancient finch]

first guy cna easly bump

[potent summit]

If you only want to play in the air then yes it’s much easier for your opponents to take time to position themselves and rotate back whilst you dribble the ball for 10 seconds in the air.

I’d prefer to just hit it round opponents and drive the ball into the open net lol. 0 mechs.

Easy rank up

[fathom gate]

Anyone???

[potent summit]

Ye

[ancient finch]

im having fun in the air tho

[potent summit]

If you prioritise that over ranking up then that’s cool

[ancient finch]

its 50/50

but still most of the goals r from bad rotations or simple mistakes

[potent summit]

my sole objective is to rank up, so I learn the most efficient way to do so without putting all the effort in

Fun for me is ranking up though, I do still enjoy hitting nice pinches and double taps but I only go for them when it’s absolutely necessary

[fathom gate]

Can anyone gc or smthn on pc watch my replay??

[potent summit]

Nothing, youre higher than your rank

Derank then if you’re stuck

[glacial mauve]

Yeah its clear you're not ready for anything beyond. Just put time in. You'll get there.

[potent summit]

Bro complaining he’s higher than his normal rank lol

[stone oak]

does anyone know what i could do to improve on wall shots?

[forest steeple]

Does anyone know any tips to get to champs I’m dimond 3 div 2

[stone oak]

funny

[supple elm]

I been stuck in d1 and rank down to p1 can anyone give tips I think I should be in d3 or d2

[wet kiln]

become consistent

[signal lintel]

At least not stuck anymore 👍

[sterile elm]

how do i get better at directianal air roll?

[neon scroll]

ring maps..

[sterile elm]

im on console

[neon scroll]

pillars map

[cyan sage]

practise it in game, freeplay, and watch youtube tutorials

unfortunately, spookluke has a good one for air roll left

[glacial mauve]

You make it sound easier than it really is. People learn differently

[cyan sage]

there's nothing you can "learn" to get back to a rank you already hit

if youve hit that rank, then you can do it again

you don't need to learn anything new

[glacial mauve]

Yeah I should've used a different word for that

[cyan sage]

shiros right lmao

if you "deserve" a rank, and you're playing comp consistently, and you can't get it

guess what? you don't deserve it😭

[glacial mauve]

Its not instantaneous is my point. Sure, you may have got it the first time but its going to be different getting it back.

[mortal leaf]

anyone high champ or over wanna watch a 1v1 replay w me and tell me what i can improve?

[cyan sage]

bro is plat 1 rn

saying he deserves diamond 3

that's absolutely absurd

[cyan sage]

what region r u

[glacial mauve]

What's your point?

[mortal leaf]

eu

[glacial mauve]

So its not as simple as just "if you belong there just go there"

[cyan sage]

my point is that if bro is that low in rank

and he deserves diamond 3

he should easily be able to at least hit d1-2

not be hardstuck in plat

[vagrant wasp]

Hey anyone here willing to help me get better

[tepid trail]

Just because you peaked in a rank doesn't mean your overall skill level is now that rank. As annoying as it is, be patient with yourself. Your slumps, average gameplay, and peaks will gradually start getting higher as you improve

[glacial dagger]

Don't suck 🤷‍♂️

[glacial mauve]

Fax

[glacial mauve]

Rank?

[cyan sage]

we aren't talking about him peaking

he is actively saying he SHOULD be in diamond

and he's plat 1

[glacial dagger]

Peaking is just showing how high MMR you were able to reach in a set of games, it's not your designated skill level.

[glacial mauve]

Yeah you got me. We aren't on the same book at all

[cyan sage]

does anyone wanna coach me during my 2's? im almost d3

[glacial dagger]

Teammates play a very important role in 2's and 3's. The thing is that.. if you can't consistently carry your teammate and force plays, you shouldn't be focusing on ranking up. You should be focusing on becoming a consistent and well-rounded player, if you can't play consistently and you're still being heavily affected by your teammates playing, you probably shouldn't start ranking up just yet.

[nocturne breach]

there can be exceptions

[glacial dagger]

"Comp players" play TOO much ranked.

[sterile elm]

im plat 1 i deserve gc 3

[cyan sage]

Man imma be fr if someone should be a rank, then he will get there just by playing. He will win more than lose if he's enough to be 3 ranks higher fo sho

Smurfs or nah it's finna even out

[nocturne breach]

on a serious note, last year when i was d3 and i dropped to p1 because my teammates were afk, disconnecting mid game or trolling me because i stole their goal 💀

[sterile elm]

fr

[glacial dagger]

Once again,

[nocturne breach]

or 2 years ago actually

[tight marten]

How to start freestylimg?
