Yo i need controller binds

[ivory wren]

Powerslide square, normal air roll square, air roll left L1, air roll right R1, boost circle, jump X, ball cam triangle, brake L2 and throttle R2

not comfortable tho

for most people

[foggy belfry]

That id literally the defualy settings

[ivory wren]

air roll left and right are not default

and normal air roll is not there by default

not comfortable for some people

just lf pros settings and try

[broken walrus]

Im on steam and i have a issue, i cant flipcancel for the last year nothing works even if i cancel as straight as possible i think i have some setting in steam for my controler wrong but i dont know what setting or how to fix this, i already bought a new controler because i thought it was the controlers fault but it didnt fix it. if anyone is able to help me @ me or pm me (i use a PS5 controler)

[strong river]

Powerslide L1, normal air roll L1, Air roll left square, air roll right circle, boost R1, jump X, ball cam triangle, brake L2, throttle R2

comfortable and very good imo

[plain sleet]

can someone teach me how to play, i got this game today and i heard asking people in here is the best way to get better

[strong river]

Just play. At the beginning the best thing to do is just playing.

[wraith ruin]

a higher controller deadzone makes it a lot easier to flip cancel in a straight line

[plain sleet]

is there anyway you can play with me and teach me?

[strong river]

You can focus on getting power on ur shots and aim.

[wraith ruin]

you could try a square deadzone using maktuf tuto but it takes effort

[strong river]

Cant rn since im just going to workout

[hidden mural]

I can play

[plain sleet]

ok i can dm you

[wraith ruin]

oh yeah theres also a joystick self check plugin on bakkesmod to see your inputs

[limber river]

Can anyone help me rank up

[median vault]

How did you guys learn how to fly around the damn map, I’m in diamond and I can’t get past it because I can’t air dribble n stuff

[mortal quail]

You really dont need air dribbles to get out of diamond

[median vault]

Well in theory yes In practice however everyone down here is air dribbling and doing things on the air I can’t contest but instead wait for it

[limber river]

Can anyone help me rank up

[mortal quail]

You can still challenge it, play backboard to help cover the net

[cyan sage]

helloooo

[regal jay]

play more training just keep hitting the ball everywhere till ur movement is good i also recommened using slow mo

[mortal quail]

I know so

[limpid dagger]

personally im not taking that

[mortal quail]

Unfortunately he is going to have to

[limpid dagger]

tragic times for him

[mortal quail]

2 years and counting

[vague birch]

does anyone got anything on what like a diamond should train?

idk ive been diamond 1 for ages idk what to do

rn im like on the brink of being plat 3

[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

[vague birch]

oh wow thank you

ill give it a go

[sharp bronze]

This right here is good advice

[sharp bronze]

Shadow defense is always a good way to still be on the offensive side and yet still be defensive

[inner egret]

Lemme try that

[green panther]

Thanks m8

[sharp bronze]

@cyan prawn Basically when someone has the ball instead of being on top of them start to go wide or in front. defend in front and find the perfect opportunity to over take

Or wait for a mistake

[vague birch]

alr thanks

[inner egret]

What if they flick

[sharp bronze]

Depends on where you are if your farther forward then they are you could probably make it depends on how aggressive or passive you are when defending

I’ve played a lot of 1v1s and been able to use it

I can’t exactly explain in the right terms besides showing someone

[urban bluff]

alr guys my r1 broke on my ps4 controller so what shoudl I bind it to?

[sharp bronze]

Practice on pushing harder if so, do you feel as tho your not aggressive enough. I mean I’m not absolutely creaked at the game but I play with my champ friends and keep up

[spice oracle]

any tips to get out of gc 1?

[zenith delta]

Yea

You mainly wanna start playing faster to get faster (but controlled touches) you also need to follow up on ur tm8s touches to keep up the pressure

Gc2 rn

I’m NA

[spice wolf]

Are the rl servers down rn?

Then i got a problem

[thin pebble]

Yeah, there is often limited connection

What exactly are you dealing with?

[spice wolf]

My ps4 wont connect its the trouble connecting with servers and has been going on for like 3 days now😭

[thin pebble]

Oh, yeah there are connection issues with console. I dont think there is much of a fix. Pc allows you to use vpn/reconnect but console doesnt quite work the same

[spice wolf]

So i can never play again pretty much @thin pebble

?

[zenith delta]

Bro look it up on Reddit or smth

[dry ibex]

so guys is it normal to get air roll aerial dunked on in gold 3 1v1s? lol not even off the wall just out of mid field? isnt that some ssl stuff

[spice wolf]

@zenith delta its not that simple

[zenith delta]

That is not ssl stuff bro

[spice wolf]

U dont think i have looked it up

[thin pebble]

Maybe

Idk man, it depends

[spice wolf]

I'mI might have to delete rl and redownload I'd it😭😭😭😡😡😡😡😡

[dry ibex]

i guess your right, ssl would of done a triple reset, well its like champ at least huh?

[thin pebble]

Lmfao thats normal

[spice wolf]

Ssl would prob do much more than a triple flip reset

[dry ibex]

😂

[spice wolf]

Im screwed

Imma probably have to delete rl and redownload it!

[thin pebble]

What wifi do you use? If you use a blocker check that. If you use a vpn, check that. If you use wifi, try ethernet.

[thin pebble]

No, thats plat 1.

[spice wolf]

UYep

[dry ibex]

come on your kidding! hahah

[thin pebble]

I'm d2 cuz I dont play enough to grind.

[spice wolf]

Nope he not

[thin pebble]

Lol give me a whole summer, instantly have the chance to be champ3-gc2

People improve fast

Well

That is if they know how to study, train, and of course innovate.

[thin pebble]

Lol I am not kidding though

[dry ibex]

ollie i will like to be your bad team mate bro.

[thin pebble]

Plat 1-3 is people with ability to hit the ball with a little power, air and ground

Rank?

Il be your tm8 in the summer

[dry ibex]

yeah ill def be a "bad team mate" for you

[thin pebble]

I'm going to high school next year though

[dry ibex]

but it would be nice to get into the harder lobbies i think thats a good way to learn isnt it? at least the pacing

[thin pebble]

I'm d2 and started last august. Started consistently playing abt 3-4 times a month judt in February

[thin pebble]

Uh, not in gold

[shrewd matrix]

Gc2 a stretch

[thin pebble]

Not really

[dry ibex]

im gold in 1s, in 2 and 3 im usually in plat

[thin pebble]

Atleast in 2s

[dry ibex]

and i might be able to grind out plat in 1s i get discouraged though

[shrewd matrix]

Id love to see u go from d2 6 ranks up in less than 4 months

[thin pebble]

I'm d2 with champ mechs, and maybe just barely passing champ gamesense

[dry ibex]

cuz as i said in gold 3 they were already looking like youtubers

[shrewd matrix]

Would be an epic story mpst definetly

[thin pebble]

If I grindef this summer then yeah

[shrewd matrix]

But u gonna sell all ur free time trying that

[thin pebble]

Lol I got from plat 1 to d2 since february

[shrewd matrix]

Whats ur peak?

[thin pebble]

D3 d2

[shrewd matrix]

Plat 1 to d2 is completely different than d2 to gc2

[thin pebble]

I dont remember the elo but

[thin pebble]

Ik

[shrewd matrix]

How old are u if i may ask?

[thin pebble]

But the reason i believe I can achieve it is my learning ability

[inner egret]

Tips on how to get out of diamond

[thin pebble]

14, I'm focused on rocket league, soccer, French, and German rn

[shrewd matrix]

Well u might be able to become a 2s gc2 if u grind 1s and train for the next 4 months

[thin pebble]

Yeha thats what I plan to do with my summer

[shrewd matrix]

How much playtime u got?

[thin pebble]

Idk off the top of my head

But somewhere near 500 hours

Nah modtly soccer

[untold elbow]

can anyone coach me

[thin pebble]

I an spending most my summer on getting to play soccer in highschool

[shrewd matrix]

Well u can probably get gc2 if u grind for like another 1000 hours putting it all into training

[spice wolf]

JMeJame should i delete my rocket league and redownload it?

[thin pebble]

Well I say I could get g2 but that is if I'm totally focused

[spice wolf]

AilAilwill that fix it?

Will*

[thin pebble]

My goal by highschool is champ 2-3

[zenith delta]

@thin pebble I’m at the rank u want come face me to get an idea

[thin pebble]

On wednesday?

[shrewd matrix]

Well could could could... If i was totally focused id be ssl by this winter but im not willing to grind that much and risk burning out

[thin pebble]

I have projects rn

[spice wolf]

Jame should i delete rocket leGue and redownload it?

[thin pebble]

So I have to research today and tomorrow

[zenith delta]

If u remind me

[spice wolf]

AWillthatfixit

[thin pebble]

Idk you do you man 🤣

[spice wolf]

Im screwed😂😭😭😭😭😭

[merry raven]

Do you guys know how how to respond to people on the looking for group tab?

[thin pebble]

I have a 2060 so Idk what ot do with ps4 or new pcs

[thin pebble]

Cluck on user and message them

I'll send a picturs

[merry raven]

Oh so just direct message got it thanks!

[shrewd matrix]

Nah ps4 grind wild

[thin pebble]

Yeah

[orchid condor]

d2 to gc2 within 3 months?

[thin pebble]

D2 to champ 3

[orchid condor]

oh champ 3, thats ez

[thin pebble]

Gc 2 in 2s only bc I have a smart tm8

Lmao we are good chemistry

[shrewd matrix]

.... Chemistry as in what u play well together or u get along well?

[thin pebble]

Both lmao

[orchid condor]

wdym gc2 in 2s

[thin pebble]

We play well together because we get along

[spice wolf]

Just deleted rl😭

[thin pebble]

I am a 2s main

[shrewd matrix]

The play well together is not gonna last as u both improve on a quick grind

[spice wolf]

Now i gotta redownload it

[limpid dagger]

congratulations

[thin pebble]

Though I need to go more 1s

[orchid condor]

you want to go to c3 in 1s?

[merry raven]

Does anyone know how to actually practice on ps4/5 I feel like all the top community maps don’t actually give good tips

[shrewd matrix]

Rank?

[thin pebble]

I just dont like 1s cuz I dont play much and like to play alone every time. But yes, c3 1s and 2s at least

[merry raven]

Diamond 3

Sorry I mean platinum 3!!

[orchid condor]

bro articulate yourself better, i honestly don't know what your goal is lmao, im confused @thin pebble

[shrewd matrix]

Hmm...

[thin pebble]

Oh its simple, just learn to play grounded, watch the play from a good distance, position your car to defend or support attack, and also train your fluidity from ground to air, ground to wall, wall to ceiling etc

[shrewd matrix]

Homestly there is too much u can do i wonder what is a good fit for u..

[limpid dagger]

can someone help me fix my air dribbles pls

[spice wolf]

MPrettybigdiffernecetheredifferencebud

[shrewd matrix]

What do u wanna train?

[spice wolf]

Pretty big diff therethere*

[thin pebble]

I want c3 in 1s and 2s, aiming for gc2 if my bro plays with me.

[orchid condor]

what are your current ranks?

[thin pebble]

D2 and d3

[merry raven]

And also I find YouTube videos really confusing I just want a step by step guide on different techniques I need to learn - I pretty much got to diamond 3 without watching or playing a single community map

[spice wolf]

I hate everything rn

[thin pebble]

He's currently playing rn but he's in highschool and apparently has more time

[spice wolf]

I have to redownload rl and its taking over an hour!

[shrewd matrix]

D3 in 1s?

[thin pebble]

Yeah that too for him, I'm d1 in 1s but i don't play as much

[orchid condor]

I would set more realistic goals, gc1 2s is way more realistic as your 1s rank is where most c2-3 (2s) players are

[spice wolf]

I might have to get rl on my switch😭 if it doent work when i redownload it on my ps4

[thin pebble]

It's unrealistic

[merry raven]

Yeah fair I’m pretty terrible at wall to air and air dribbling in general but I’ve never had to use it, also don’t know how to speed kick off

[shrewd matrix]

I mean c3 1s is crowded by gc3s already so that would be very hard in 3 months

[thin pebble]

Though I like being ambitious cuz idc about missing my goal. If I dont hit it I just keep going and its fine

Cuz ik I'm improving alot anyways

[orchid condor]

why y always gotta say something lol, mans want to do this within 3 months, while never having reached champ

[shrewd matrix]

U would need to at the very least grind for 6 hours every day 8 would be better

[thin pebble]

Oh yeah learn to speed flip and use wave dash/wall dash. Useful for 1s to get you champ

[shrewd matrix]

And thats for someone with good learning skills.

[thin pebble]

Well i mean

In summer I said I got time.

[shrewd matrix]

Time isnt the problem

[thin pebble]

I spend wednesday, saturday, sunday in summer

[thin pebble]

For soccer

[shrewd matrix]

The problem is consistency, focus, discipline

[thin pebble]

Well, ofc. I'll have no problem in summer

[shrewd matrix]

I dont think u understand what it means to play that much every day.

[thin pebble]

I do honestly

[merry raven]

Do you recommend any vids or maps on ps5 how to do that?

[orchid condor]

It's gonna be hard lmao, 1s is already frustrating to play as is

[robust bloom]

What is his goal?

[orchid condor]

d3 -> c3 1s within 3 months

[shrewd matrix]

U can have a bad day go on a 5-10 losing streak and still gotta play to improve so u gotta sit in training for atleast an hour or more if u dont wanna play ranked again

[robust bloom]

Aw hell nah 💀

[spice wolf]

What do i do while i wait for rl to download?

[thin pebble]

I got radiant valorant, c3 rocket league in 2019, apex predator 2019 aswell

I'm going to have time

[thin pebble]

If I am losing then I adapt first lmao

[shrewd matrix]

U said ur peak was d3

[robust bloom]

What's his 2s rank?

[thin pebble]

I rewatch players and practice

[thin pebble]

I dont count before because the game was different

[orchid condor]

my guy is a true game, gl to you @thin pebble

[orchid condor]

d2 i think

[thin pebble]

I am way better than before mechanically

[shrewd matrix]

Well c3 in 2019 might aswell be equal to low diamond now with all the improvement and the adjustments

[thin pebble]

I was only mechs in 2019

[robust bloom]

Bruh what

[mortal quail]

thats doable

[robust bloom]

No way he's d3 1s and d2 2s

[shrewd matrix]

Honestly if that was ur goalbefore the reset around 3 seasons ago i would have said its quite possible withh a lot of dedication

[robust bloom]

Not if you're d2 in 2s

[mortal quail]

depends what he lacks as a player

[robust bloom]

If u were like gc1+ then yes

[shrewd matrix]

What do u mean what he lacks

[mortal quail]

if he has low mechs, its doable, but if he has high mechs but no brain, its a little harder

[thin pebble]

I lack consistency in my gamesense 2s

[robust bloom]

Champ 2s in 1s are crazy tho

[shrewd matrix]

He is d2 and wants to be gc2 he basically lacks everything

[thin pebble]

In 1s I just dont play it enough

[mortal quail]

what does that mean

[thin pebble]

Fr

[mortal quail]

consistency isnt a thing for gamesense

[shrewd matrix]

Nah if anything if he was high mechs now and tried it would be easier

[mortal quail]

you either have it or you dont

[thin pebble]

I'm not consistently playing the same in 2s

[shrewd matrix]

Getting gamesense later on is way more easy than mechs especially if ur that young

[mortal quail]

nah not in 1s

[orchid condor]

he did say he was c3 before so probs downplaying current rank

[mortal quail]

1s relies heavilly on gamesense defense

mechs useless when you cant defend

[shrewd matrix]

Yeah and u can learn that quite quickly

[mortal quail]

eh no

its hard

[robust bloom]

C3 in 1s is 10× better than d3 so it's unlikely to be possible in 3 Months

[thin pebble]

Please dm @shrewd matrix

[shrewd matrix]

If u have all the mehcs and u learn how to shadow defend and fake challenge thats d3 to c1 already

[mortal quail]

ah yes "just learn to shadow and fake challenge"

he needs to learn how to actually challenge first

[shrewd matrix]

Agreed but not impossible he is young and if he plays those 7 hours a day on average je could do it

[mortal quail]

cant fake what you cant do

[orchid condor]

Honestly it's probably doable, but i doubt anyone is insane enough to play 12+ hours a day + all those 1s games

[mortal quail]

this

its doable but very hard

[robust bloom]

He won't

[mortal quail]

thats assuming he doesnt get burn out

[shrewd matrix]

I dont know its not like it hasnt been done before

[robust bloom]

7 hours of 1s a day for 3 months straight will be hell

Not gonna happen

[shrewd matrix]

Most current high ssls played that much at some point early on

[mortal quail]

negative nancy

[robust bloom]

You would need insane mentality

[thin pebble]

Thats what my other bro daid

[robust bloom]

I'm just being realistic

Some people are allergic to the truth

[shrewd matrix]

And since he is only at 500 hours ish id be surprised if he gets tired as quickly as me with 4600 hours and i could easily manage 4 hours a day

[thin pebble]

Listen I played with an gc3 previous ssl and he said i'm champ material so I'm honestly gonna focus up and not take that to the head too much

[robust bloom]

What's your rank

[shrewd matrix]

Im a bad example for several reasons but im gc1

[orchid condor]

gc3 players cant see the difference between a d2 and a champ player, lets be real now

[robust bloom]

Oh damn ok

[mortal quail]

the issue is, the game only gets harder from here

[thin pebble]

That is true, I will not stoop down but I will be more realistic. My dad had similar issues.

[robust bloom]

He isn't going from d3-c3 in 3 months if he's d2 in 2s

[thin pebble]

Brb ☠️

My granfparents called me 8 times already

[shrewd matrix]

Played with that sub 2mbits download and sub 400 kbits uplaod connection from 2017 till january this year

And thats just for rl lol

[robust bloom]

Someone with a semi functional brain

[robust bloom]

Nice 👍

Thanks

[shrewd matrix]

Ur both right.. its not bad to say he can do it but its also logical to say chances are the random guy on the internet wont do it

[orchid condor]

2mb should enough right?

[robust bloom]

Did I say it was impossible?

[echo ice]

any tips on how to rank up in gold 1 1v1's?

[shrewd matrix]

Well thats the peak i could get so no one at home maybe at night

Also it was unstabke

[robust bloom]

Win

Oops

[thin pebble]

Well, I'm just gonna say. I believe I can hit c3-gc1.

[echo ice]

bro ik but actual tips

[thin pebble]

I believe its more than open mindedness and grinding

[zenith delta]

It’s definitely possible

[robust bloom]

It depends

[shrewd matrix]

I got champ by free to play solo que c3 2s in season 3 and c3 in 2s and 3s ofr season 4 and 5 then stopped grinding cause i was to frustrated playing on unstabke 120 ping in c3 and having to put in extra work to work around delay

[robust bloom]

Yes possible but not happening

[zenith delta]

We don’t know that

[shrewd matrix]

Also never played 1s cause of that imagine having to save shots with that type of delay

[robust bloom]

Unless he pays someone to boost him ofc

[orchid condor]

gc1 2s should deff be possible as you've peaked c3 in 2019 as you've said @thin pebble

[shrewd matrix]

And im no middle east prodigy playing on eu servers

[thin pebble]

I believe its about intuition and adaptation that makes someone improve rapidly. Along with that just is required mechanical skill and consistency

[shrewd matrix]

C3 in 2019 is worlds apart from c3 now tho

[echo ice]

any tips on how to rank up in gold 1 1v1's?

[zenith delta]

Or if he spend more time trying to improve

[thin pebble]

Mind you I was playing for fun in 2019 and I believe I was 10-11

[shrewd matrix]

I mean after reset gc1s from just 2023 sit in c2 and c3 now.💀

[thin pebble]

Honestly im improving well and im dealing with much overload

So I'll just drop german until I take my high school course anyways

[shrewd matrix]

I only got gc1 last season and low behold i find a lot of my solo q m8s are gc2s from season 10 or before

[shrewd matrix]

No

[thin pebble]

I'll practice soccer primarily on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday

[robust bloom]

U won't get above my level in 3 months

[shrewd matrix]

Drop french dont drop german

[thin pebble]

Uh ni

I need french lol

[zenith delta]

@thin pebble what rank are u rn

[orchid condor]

It cant be that much different, ive been playing every season until s5 for gc rewards, i got back again an hit gc again without issue, even though its harder for me to stay there cuz rusty and stuff

[thin pebble]

I have friends snd people I need to speak to in french

I'll learn germain in highschool as I said, take supplementary duo lingo and stuff etc while I take the course

Alr yall are asking too muchc

[robust bloom]

What is bro yapping about

[thin pebble]

I need to work cuz I have two projects

[shrewd matrix]

I know cause i got c3 in 2020 s3 and last season when i finally grinded again with better connection and way higher skill i only fought back to c2 at first

What i witnessed in c3 in s3-5 and last season or this season is crazy different

[thin pebble]

Btw what abt german did you think was so important

[orchid condor]

I do agree that resets have become way more common

[shrewd matrix]

Take it from the guy who played in champ for 13 seasons

[thin pebble]

Of course I may need it when I attempt to travel to france and other places in europe but

Honestly, I could do without for now

[shrewd matrix]

Hmmm its my mothers tongue obviously i recommend u pick it

[thin pebble]

Lol

I just need French and spanish

[shrewd matrix]

Also the only reason to learn french is if u wanna become pro and connect with the best country of pro play in rl😂

[thin pebble]

Rn atleast, german could help but its a little excessive

[thin pebble]

Lol, I dsid thst once too

Je suis un grand fan de Zen!

[shrewd matrix]

Well if u wanna become a pro u might wanna chill in kaydops stream

[thin pebble]

Connections or study?

Am I getting to learn from them mainly or mainly form a connection into the competitive scene?

[shrewd matrix]

Idk apparently on his rise zen chilled there

[white spruce]

someone please teach me defense and help me get better. i'm gold 2 division 2 in 1's and cannot defend any shot, simply relying on my unlikely ability to score goals.

[zenith delta]

Simple training packs can fix this

[inner egret]

Why can’t I find anyone in #looking-for-group

[rustic mulch]

If you Wanan get good dm me gc3

[thin pebble]

Just get decent at reading the ball, placing the ball, and of course aerial the ball. With this you must also have good positioning. This will shoot you through plat up to diamond (mind you need natural mechanics in plat still)

[spice wolf]

Phew it redownloaded and now is working😅

[random socket]

Anyone got good packs for movement and reading

[cyan sage]

whats up brother ☝️

[cyan sage]

:3 lmk if you have any questions as well! i'm not gatekeeping basic info behind a paywall LMAO

[analog rune]

if anyone woulb be nice enought to teach me how to get better that would be great i can do a good airdriblle a flip reset into airdriblle and im plat 2 but my ground play needs some work thx

[twilit needle]

Any one tryna help coach

[inner egret]

Someone coach me out of diamond I’m so tired of these tm8s

[cyan sage]

🤣

[robust bloom]

?

[flint plaza]

start with catches and ball control
kevpert has a tutorial with 50 shot training pack

[cobalt crane]

how do i make moner

wallet empty

[inner egret]

Someone coach me out of diamond I’m so tired of these tm8s

[cyan sage]

I need help doing attacking aerials. Like i can gk but thats it

[blissful gate]

what u do is, u press jump right, tilt ur car up and adjust urself to hit the car yeah?

[fallow jay]

if you were really much better though you wouldnt be diamond

i get that diamonds an annoying rank

but just hitting the ball consistently would get you outta diamond

[inner egret]

What rank r u

[fallow jay]

gc2

[random socket]

Can someone pls help with my half flips I keep messing them up so bad but idk where I'm going wrong

[inner egret]

Coach me into champ

[fallow jay]

send me a clip of you doing one in dms

[random socket]

How do I get clip from ps4 to laptop? That's fr idk how

[fallow jay]

bruh thatd take a while if i had to guess

[fallow jay]

uhmm

good question, doesnt the playstation app allow you to see your clips?

[inner egret]

Bro I don’t think I’m that bad trust

[random socket]

I'm honestly not sure

[fallow jay]

send me a replay

[random socket]

But I do it but I end up on my hood facing the same way as before

[fallow jay]

thas crazy

what inputs are you doing?

[random socket]

Backflip cancel left air roll

[fallow jay]

okay and when do you start airroling?

[random socket]

When the wheels are up

[fallow jay]

okay are you doing the cancel correctly?

[random socket]

I belive so

[fallow jay]

try practising doing only the backflip cancel so you land on your roof facing backwards

[random socket]

If I just do the cancel I end up on the hood facing the other way

[random socket]

That's how I get it

[fallow jay]

then you arent airrolling

[inner egret]

R u allowed to spectate games in rl

[random socket]

I think? Not sure

[fallow jay]

no just send me a replay file

dont cherry pick either, play 1 game of 2s, save the replay and send me the file

[inner egret]

But i don’t want to

[fallow jay]

then how am i supposed to help you

replay analysis is like the most basic form of coaching

[neat crag]

Hey admyre

What rank are u

[fallow jay]

why?

[neat crag]

Maybe tmrw i can dm u a replay file of me and u can help me

Im d3

[inner egret]

Ehhh 🤷‍♂️

[fallow jay]

ehh sure though im not sure how much time i have tomorrow

[fallow jay]

i mean i dont care either way bro like you were asking for help

[random socket]

I was just to soon I got it now tho! Just need to keep practicing to get better and do it without having to focus on it

[fallow jay]

haha yeah, gj though

[random socket]

Thank you

Second day so def making progress

[cobalt crane]

clip through playstation, download via the app to the device in question

[fallow jay]

second day?!?

halfflips on the second day is crazy hahaha

def not a bad thing to learn though

[random socket]

Yea I started yesterday afternoon cst

[cyan sage]

grah

two more free sessions up for grabs

[random socket]

I dm u but probably to late lol

[fallow jay]

what rank are you?

[inner egret]

Can anyone coach a diamond 2

[vale pier]

if youre stiff, youll be SSL within 3 days, no cap

truest statement ever made

[agile arrow]

Can anyone teach me how to air dribble on controller

[cyan sage]

i coach ssls, peaked someone up to 1980

[thin hill]

You got any tips for someone who doesn't use ball cam? (Besides use ballcam.)

[cyan sage]

literally use ballcam

thats like saying "any tips for people that give themselves a massive disadvantage? (besides not willingly handicapping themselves with a massive disadvantage)

[harsh jetty]

For sure! ^_^ Oh lordy the accursed paywalls lmao - I appreciate the offer and help you've obviously already been doing here

I admit ball cam improved my game tremendously once I got used to it 🙂

[cyan sage]

i do not think there is a single decent player that plays without ballcam

[harsh jetty]

I used to play non-ballcam back on xbox and was pretty decent but then the swap to Epic, etc - ballcam changed my life

[fervent sluice]

i hate ball cam

[cyan sage]

.

mb forgot to ping

[thin hill]

I don't use ball cam cause otherwise I wouldn't enjoy the game at all. I'd quit playing.

I'm high plat/low diamond without it currently.

[cyan sage]

im just being genuinely honest, not using ballcam is a genuine disadvantage

[thin hill]

I get that, been told that multiple times lol

[cyan sage]

to see the ball, you either have to position yourself in really weird spots that are not good to be in
or
you just genuinely wont be able to do things that you need to do in higher ranks

for example, backboard defence or shadow defence

two staples of defence that you will not be able to do without ballcam

the only actual tip that i can give you, is to just learn to use ballcam

[thin hill]

If I had a permanent person to hand on teach me how to use ballcam then maybe I would but its hard to play with it for a long time.

[cyan sage]

otherwise anything else ill tell you is just detrimental to your gameplay

[cyan sage]

there really isnt anything to teach about ballcam

you just turn it on when you need it (like 90% of the game) and then turn it off when you dont need it

[thin hill]

I'd have to relearn a lot of things because I'd have to change my camera settings in order to use it to its full potential

[cyan sage]

what are your cam settings right now

[thin hill]

Oh god

I'll log on and send a pic of em lol

[cyan sage]

some crazy cam settings are also detrimental to your gameplay, as if theyre super far or super high, which im assuming they are, you just wont have quality touches on the ball

also cam settings dont really affect what youve learned so far, as its just muscle memory

[thin hill]

I can't use no ballcam without dumb settings xD

And I get that. Its just gonna be a rough start cause of having to readjust most things. Plus maybe a few key binds

[cyan sage]

i know but thats what im saying, dumb cam settings dont really help much, if theyre only there to suppress the bad choice in the first place lol

[thin hill]

Can I DM you?

[cyan sage]

go for it

[thin hill]

Okay idk how to do that so can you please DM me

[noble wharf]

art youre an actual coach right?

[unreal siren]

What B+ team do you do art?

[noble wharf]

or just anyone who will offer actual advice ig

[unreal siren]

Depends what advice your looking for?

[noble wharf]

i keep asking one of my champ friends but they wont give me a straight answer

im plat 1-2 in 1s and want to know if i should try to learn more aerial shooting techniques or more ground based stuff

[unreal siren]

Sounds like quite the problem lol

[noble wharf]

(reason i was asking in that way is i dont want one of the plat "freestylers" to come in and say flip resets)

[unreal siren]

Id reccomend getting consistent at everything and to put in alot of game hours and training if youd like to improve why not train both and not limit yourself to 1 thing

[noble wharf]

i am going to cry that is almost the word for word same answer

im going to work on both im just wondering which i should try to be more consistant with

[unreal siren]

I think your champ friend is making sure you work on all portions of your game

Which one do you feel is more important?

[noble wharf]

idk

ive had decent success with flicks but cant do anything in the air other than def

and even thats mid

[unreal siren]

Do you find flying fun?

[noble wharf]

ya

but im new so the whole game is TwT

[unreal siren]

Yeah id ask art then cuz I dont know anything

[fiery prawn]

If you don't know how to fast aerial then do focus on that and also keeping the ball under control in the air

[cyan sage]

it was Team Evo most recently, a team comprised of b/b+ players

before that, it was under Vision, also comprised of b/b+

[unreal siren]

Does sethpom own that team?

[cyan sage]

vision unfortunately fell apart due to their players being involved and prioritising CRL

[cyan sage]

yep!

[noble wharf]

i -can- fast aerial i just struggle with deciding when to do that and when to use my flip to add more power

[unreal siren]

who was the + player tho?

[fiery prawn]

Flip into the ball just before you hit it but still use the nose of your car

Gives you extra power for a nice finish if you do it correctly

[noble wharf]

ya thats what i normally try to do

(emphasis on try but thats not important)

[cyan sage]

uhhh we went through two rosters while i was actively coaching their rlcs team, one was wheats revo and slayn, the other was- dimes, revo, and- uh

i cant remember the other guys name tho lmfao

im trying to find it

[fiery prawn]

If you don't already have good air control then you could focus on that and also hitting the ball with powered air in awkward places, like directly above you or in your corner

[cyan sage]

yeah idk i cant find it, it was a generic name, thats all i remember

[opaque spruce]

Art what's your rank?

[unreal siren]

all good wish I knew some of them but haven't heard of them unfortunately.

Well actually ive seen Wheats in B

[cyan sage]

afaik it was slayn that made rank b+ one season

cant remember when, i dont really ever queue 6mans anymore

or well

the game

at all

lmfao

[cyan sage]

both

is the answer

sorry for responding late lmao

the answer is both, you want to become a balanced player

[analog rune]

if anybody can coach me that would be nice im plat 2

[noble wharf]

what mode?

[noble wharf]

im going to focus on both im just wondering which i should try and get consistant first (id rather be able to hit one and whiff the other than get close to not missing both)

[cyan sage]

ground play first, then focus on aerial play

[noble wharf]

tyyy

[cyan sage]

but i wouldnt really recommend only doing one at a time

[noble wharf]

im not going to

[cyan sage]

balance the two, with a lean towards ground

[noble wharf]

thats the plan

[analog rune]

no

[noble wharf]

wut

[analog rune]

Apple

[noble wharf]

????????

[autumn igloo]

What are the main things to focus on to go from c3->gc1 in 2s?

[cyan sage]

its mostly just consistency and learning small things that will improve the speed and efficiency of your gameplay

theres caveats to that though, mostly player specific stuff

finding your flaws and fixing those would be examples of player specific caveats

[autumn igloo]

would you say it’s worth to start incorporating more training packs or just play more ranked?

[cyan sage]

tbh im not the biggest fan of training packs

but if youre under the impression that using training packs would be helpful, then by all means, do it

[autumn igloo]

I kinda want to just for improved consistency but i’m already pretty mechanical for a c3 and i’m not sure it would help with game sense or keeping speed

[cyan sage]

consistency does come with repetition, so depending on what youre looking to gain consistency in, training packs may be the way to go

double taps, aerial shots, and redirects would be the only things i recommend training packs for

[autumn igloo]

Mainly double taps/redirects from passes

[cyan sage]

yeah packs then

allows you more repetition, as you wont find a lot of those situations in real matches at c3

keeping speed is a mixture of freeplay and real games

gamesense is really just playing games, and maybe in-depth coaching if youre looking for it

[autumn igloo]

Alright, thank you

[cyan sage]

ofc ofc

[autumn igloo]

Oh yeah 1 more thing, do you think it’s worth playing 1s to help improve overall? I hear that a lot but i’m not sure if it’s really making a difference

[cyan sage]

if your mental is good, play 1s

if your mental is bad, dont play it

thats how it goes pretty much

[noble wharf]

fr

unless youre fine with playing a gold 3 whos bounce dribbling and going for demos with insane precision (totally didnt just happen to me) while already on a loss streak of 2 ranks in 2 days 🙂

[serene cairn]

How do I get better in trying to improve my overall ground mechanics like flicks bounce dribbles and power shots

[autumn igloo]

I feel like my mental is fine i just haven’t really gained much from playing a ton of ranked 1s

[sweet osprey]

can anyone help me with air roll

[cyan sage]

might not be focusing on the right things then

[cyan sage]

look up tutorials, practise them a lot

[sweet osprey]

can anyone help me with air roll

[cyan sage]

left or right

[sweet osprey]

really like i know how do it but its the control like i dont know if sens has anything to do with it or what

[cyan sage]

no it doesnt

[sweet osprey]

oh okay but then how to control it?

[cyan sage]

left or right

[sweet osprey]

both

[cyan sage]

left -
top right = turn right
bottom right = turn left

right -
top left = turn left
bottom left = turn right

not sure abt that right one tho

it might be hte opposite klmao

[sweet osprey]

thank you i will just have to pratice

[autumn igloo]

are you steam or epic

[sweet osprey]

steam

[sweet osprey]

i mean epic my bad

[autumn igloo]

Do you have bakkesmod

[sweet osprey]

yes

[autumn igloo]

Alright, then download the workshop map plugin so you can do rings

[sweet osprey]

i can do rings

[autumn igloo]

I’m not sure if it’s the most efficient but how i learned air roll was to try to do 1 spin and try to control it, then 2, then 3, until you are able to spin forever

[cyan sage]

no cap thats a good ass tip tbh

i would personally recommend just spamming ur joystick every where to learn the microcorrections tbh

[sweet osprey]

hold drive button or no?

[cyan sage]

doesnt really matter

[sweet osprey]

ok

[autumn igloo]

It was from a thanovic or wayton video a few years ago and it worked for my friend as well so it’s my go to recommendation lmao

[cyan sage]

tbf tho the only issue i see with it is that it doesnt really teach how to help with microcorrections

which is the biggest thing with air roll

[sweet osprey]

its hard to do

[cyan sage]

yea, its a lot of hours

[sweet osprey]

whats the best tip to get the ball on top of your car

[autumn igloo]

From side wall? or dribbling

[sweet osprey]

drillbling

[noble wharf]

does anyone want to do a replay analysis?

[autumn igloo]

Soft touch to one side then boost around is probably easiest

[cyan sage]

cut the ball

[sweet osprey]

yeah i mean how to keep it there

[autumn igloo]

drive in the middle of the white outline on the ground

[cyan sage]

keep your back wheels slightly outside of the white circle under the ball

like very slightly lmao

realistically, you dont need to dribble the ball for longer than a couple seconds

if that

[autumn igloo]

Try lethamyrs dribble challenge it’s a pretty beginner friendly workshop map to learn dribbling

[noble wharf]

bro called me ass afterwards 😔

[stone flax]

ive seen worse

[noble wharf]

i keep playing people who are g3 to p2 in 1s and d1-c1 in 2s or 3s

[autumn igloo]

1s is 99% of the time peoples lowest ranks

[noble wharf]

fr but that low???

[autumn igloo]

Yeah

[cyan sage]

yea

[noble wharf]

had a tied game against someone who was c1 and they scored a 0 second reset musty

[autumn igloo]

In c1 a majority of the people i vs have gc titles lmao

[noble wharf]

not even mad about that one

[noble wharf]

oh dam

[autumn igloo]

but low gc in 3s isn’t even close to low gc in 1s

[noble wharf]

but high gold to low plat for a diamond is insane

i doubt i could play in a diamond 2s lobby rn (i dont play 2s so i dont know what my rank would be rn) yet i bump into them in 1s every other game

[autumn igloo]

it’s only partially about the skill difference in modes it’s also that a lot of people just don’t care to play 1s

[noble wharf]

fair enough

but i can often hold for the majority or beat them

[tender seal]

Anyone got tips for direction air roll

[cyan sage]

just backread the chat a lil

[tender seal]

Lol how far

[cyan sage]

there was someone else asking that recently

like

[tender seal]

And why u always up art

[cyan sage]

.

her

[noble wharf]

here

[cyan sage]

here

[noble wharf]

dam

you beat me

[tender seal]

This?

Nvm

I see it

[sweet osprey]

can you join my voice thing

[tender seal]

It’s sad I’m plat 3 in 1’s but I’m a diamond player

[noble wharf]

its full

[tender seal]

I struggle in 1’s

[noble wharf]

nevermind

[tender seal]

Any tips for 1’s

[noble wharf]

idk at your level but for me speed and getting it over peoples heads

[autumn igloo]

Ball chase

[noble wharf]

nooooo

dont ball chase

[tender seal]

I’m at plat but I’m a diamond player

[noble wharf]

give them room to set up all their shots >:)

[noble wharf]

ya but plat 3

thats just a bit lower

im down in plat 1ish playing diamonds

[tender seal]

All my other ranks are diamond besides 1’s tho

I’m bout to hit champ 🤣🤣

[noble wharf]

ive played champs

[autumn igloo]

Champs suck unfortunately

[noble wharf]

not as bad as plats thp right???

[autumn igloo]

diamonds and champs are just plats with egos lol

[tender seal]

Yep

[noble wharf]

yk what now im interested

is there anyone whos low diamond in 2s who doesnt care that much about their rank?

if not its fine

[rough python]

im d3

but im as mechanical as a brick

[noble wharf]

im p1ish in 1s rn but i keep bumping into diamonds and i was wondering if anyone there wanted to queue for a game or 2

(trying to figure out why half the people i play are diamond 1s or 2s)

[rough python]

do you mean u are queing with actual diamonds in 1's or they're diamonds in 2's

[noble wharf]

they are diamonds in 2s or 3s but high gold to low plat in 1s

[zinc viper]

Wish I was diamond

[rough python]

1's is different from 2'a or 3's p3 in 1s is like c1 in twos

[rough python]

no you don't 💀

[noble wharf]

gold 3 was where i first noticed them and when i hit plat 2 it was nearly every game

[zinc viper]

Why not

[noble wharf]

wait fr?

i knew it was skewed but not by that much daym

[rough python]

yeah once you get to diamond in ones you are facing champs or higher never any actual diamonds

[rough python]

it's skewed by 1-2 ranks

[rough python]

it's arguably the worst place to be in rl

[noble wharf]

wow

[zinc viper]

Nah bc I’ve played in diamond lobbies Yh and they seem easier

[noble wharf]

ig teammates wise if you get a good one maybr

because you can trust them more

[rough python]

i've played in gc lobbies and they didn't seem that different, doesn't mean i could compete in gc

[plush mulch]

Any way how to deal with Gold 1 team m8's when you're a Plat 2?

[noble wharf]

play around them

youre better so cover their mistakes

[plush mulch]

?

[zinc viper]

Nah bc I’ve only played in diamond lobbies

[rough python]

actually ranked gold 1 or you're just saying thats what rank you think they act like

[autumn igloo]

want to run a few

[plush mulch]

Noooo I mean literal Gold 1 ranks and acts like gold 1

[noble wharf]

... arent you champ,,,

[rough python]

might be ur region or the time ur playing

[autumn igloo]

barely

[rough python]

doubt

[plush mulch]

not being sarcastic btw 😭

[noble wharf]

sure if youre ok with playing with a low plat

[cyan sage]

i’m c3

[autumn igloo]

what’s your epic

[noble wharf]

cherrycola83

[cyan sage]

and i always get gc players on my lobbies

[rough python]

yeah especially on rankups

[cyan sage]

i’m not even close to promotion

i even found gcs in c2

[rough python]

sure you've noticed in before tho

[cyan sage]

bro i just wanna gc what am i doing wrong

[rough python]

im not qualified to give advice on that

[stone flax]

washed

[cyan sage]

it’s like every few games there’s this teammate i get paired with and they don’t know what they’re doing

[stone flax]

be faster

[cyan sage]

i’m going back and my car language shows i’m retreating but they won’t go for the ball

[stone flax]

having a ex gc tm is the worst u can ask for

[rough python]

gc1's are either so fast and mechanical you can't keep up or a champ with fancy flip resets

no inbetween

[cyan sage]

i’m not even that mechanical bro

sure i can do flip resets but i focus on my basics

[autumn igloo]

i added

[cyan sage]

surely i’m fast enough if i’m able to keep up with gc1-2s in my scrims

[noble wharf]

whats yours?

[autumn igloo]

open nets suck

[noble wharf]

i dont see it on my end

[cyan sage]

but then again 3s is different

[noble wharf]

oh shoot mb

send it again

[rough python]

dawg im still tryna learn directional air roll and this shi is not working, no fancy sht for me

[stone flax]

3s is braindead af

[cyan sage]

i’ve gotten use to mine

[autumn igloo]

it takes many hours lol you won’t just instantly get it

[cyan sage]

i actually love it bro i’m so much faster on everything

[stone flax]

been air rolling since silver

[cyan sage]

i’ve been air rolling since prospect elite 😂

[rough python]

soon as i learn how to actually go where i want it's over yall

[cyan sage]

i’m a fossil in terms of rl

been playing since og season 3

[stone flax]

bro played that long and not gc

[rough python]

i've been air rolling since christ

[errant barn]

What’s considered basics cuz I’m tryna solidify them

[cyan sage]

i know man i just take frequent breaks

[stone flax]

longest ive taken off was a szn

[cyan sage]

shooting, recovery and defence

[stone flax]

s4 and 10

[rough python]

car control, ball control, dribbles, defence, accuracy, recoveries and momentum

[cyan sage]

i took a year off

[stone flax]

💀

[cyan sage]

a year off and i easily solo q to c3

even got it on my alt

[errant barn]

My accuracy when it comes to shooting sucks 😭 I’m not sure if going for power is always the best thing or is it

[cyan sage]

r u on steam

[errant barn]

Yeah

[cyan sage]

there’s a workshop map i use to help

[stone flax]

im actually washed af im perma c1 💀

[errant barn]

is it cocos

[cyan sage]

ye

[errant barn]

how helpful is it actually

[cyan sage]

spend like 30 mins on it before ur games

[rough python]

depends, most shots i use air roll to power shot it, other times i'll flick it

[cyan sage]

very helpful bro just select all of the presets when u do it

random bounces and random goal size

also i used the dribble map to help with my ball control

and there’s the rings map that helped with my car control in the air

[rough python]

dribble map is my worst nightmare

[errant barn]

dribble map is fun

[cyan sage]

i loved doing it

[stone flax]

💀

[rough python]

i crumble under pressure

[cyan sage]

especially when i got back to rl after my break i was grinding it with my 1s

[rough python]

nothing more pressuring than bring unable to let the ball touch the floor

[errant barn]

zenron what’s ur 1s rank

[cyan sage]

if i’m being honest im hard stuck d3 in 1s used to be c2 a couple years ago 💀

[stone flax]

im hard stuck lvl 25 on that dribble map

[cyan sage]

honestly man if i keep grinding and being consistent i can do it

i know what i’m capable of

[errant barn]

yeah defo u can ur gc1 in 2s

[cyan sage]

i’ve played against pros even tho it’s a long shot i can do it

during rlcs quals split btw

[errant barn]

that’s insane

[cyan sage]

played my ps4 mates banana head and scrub

we used to party up together all the time

i was diamond at the time and they were all c3/gc

and they still remember me when we play

[stone flax]

id be gc if i used my brain

[errant barn]

oh was this be for ssl was a thing

[cyan sage]

yeah

gc was the only top rank

just gc no gc 1-3

[errant barn]

icl I didn’t use my brain and got gc1 I had a lucky day of putting shots on target 💀

[cyan sage]

literally a 1600 could be playing against a 1700 or 1800

[stone flax]

purple gc>

[cyan sage]

but at the time in oce no many players exceeded 1700 only a selected few

[errant barn]

in oce I swear thano queued against an ssl in gc2

I saw a YouTube shorts recently

[cyan sage]

yeah because there’s not many ssls here and they have to wait for yonks to get a q

so the game just widens it all the way down to gc2

gc3 and ssl in oce is like pro territory

[errant barn]

oh ur oce so does that mean 1s you go against alot of higher ranks too

[cyan sage]

so equivalent of rlcs and rlrs in na

[cyan sage]

ye most of the players i play against r gc in 2s

[inland wigeon]

im stuck in plat could someone coach me pls

[errant barn]

That’s the same here in 1s aswell for d3

A lot of 2s gcs

[cyan sage]

i’ve stopped bothering with 1s

i just do 2s and the occasional 3s

would be doing 6mans but i got banned

[errant barn]

Isn’t 6 man’s only good after like gc2

💀 why do people take everything to heart

[cyan sage]

they’re a special breed

[errant barn]

they are and tbh

[cyan sage]

if it weren’t for it then i would’ve been doing 6mans rn

[errant barn]

I would play 2s way more but currently my laptop is a pile of trash like it’s a good laptop but idk what I did with it

[cyan sage]

i used to be rank b yonks ago when the ranks were different

but before i got banned i was rank d

would’ve wanted to grind for rank c

[errant barn]

it has an I7 and rtx 3070 and idk what I did but now it can barely run 60fps and stutters every couple seconds my friends tell me it’s because the laptop time has come

[errant barn]

How were they different

[cyan sage]

less ranks to accomodate for the many players we had

at the time iirc rank b was the lowest

[errant barn]

but did it follow the system where you needed to be a specific rank to be like rank c or b

[cyan sage]

yeah

u needed to at least be c2 to play

b was the lowest

[errant barn]

Yeah

[cyan sage]

but now u can be literally d3

[errant barn]

now rank b is one of the highest

[cyan sage]

it’s in the middle

[errant barn]

rank x is the highest I’m pretty sure

[cyan sage]

i used to play on my school laptop and got c3

now i have a gaming laptop with i7 and 4060

[cyan sage]

nah it’s rank s

bruh i need to get out of the bath and dry off hold on

[errant barn]

Yeah tbh I ain’t complaining that it has 60fps just it stuttering sucks because I can’t do anything even if I read the play in advance it won’t pick up the input and tbh c3 is such a bad rank imo cuz like I took a 4 month break and came back and got c3 again and then got gc1 like I guess it’s muscle memory idk but how did u even play on a school laptop

Don’t they ban it

[errant barn]

wait isn’t rank S the highest outside of people who go rlcs

Oh yeah it is S damn

Is S only pros who attend major or nah

[cyan sage]

nah u can grind for it

only if u really aspire to be a pro

not many ppl can do it

rank x is already pro level

well in oce it’s the case

[cyan sage]

nah i was part of the esports club so i had an excuse

also i got like 80-120 fps on it

[errant barn]

really school laptops went up to that

[cyan sage]

now i get 800+ in the menus and 300-400 in game

[cyan sage]

it had an i5 but no gpu

i had to tweak the game

[errant barn]

icl I need to be more confident with my mechs ingame in private matches I’m confident with them but not ranked tbh I don’t use mechs in ranked as much

[errant barn]

oh that’s pretty interesting ngl and u played fair play

[cyan sage]

yeah only graphical tweaks for fps boost

but we did cheat one time

[errant barn]

How so

[cyan sage]

our third couldn’t play so we had to get our captain’s mate to play as our third

so he changed his name and profile

just before joining the lobby

no one suspected anything

we didn’t wanna get dc cuz of it lol

[errant barn]

I thought they’d want to have proof it’s the actual player playing it

[cyan sage]

bro this was yonks ago i was 13 at the time now im 19

[errant barn]

Damn that’s insane at 13 aswell

[cyan sage]

nah the games were online but our school signed us through the organisation by teachers

[errant barn]

what’s ur opinion on workshop maps like the impossible tower

[cyan sage]

impossible tower? never heard of it tbh i only use workshop maps like aim trainer, rings and dribble map

even now i don’t use workshop maps anymore cuz i just wanna get straight into my games

[errant barn]

it’s like a map you gotta complete and you have limited boost to do things and it has one level where it spawns a ball and u gotta shoot it on target and then carry on so it’s like keeping momentum

[cyan sage]

i don’t even bother warming up in freeplqy anymore i just go straight into my games and warm up there

[errant barn]

yeah I know how it feels but tbh if I don’t warm up my mechanics just feel off

[cyan sage]

ohhh that one i think i’ve seen it on tiktok

ppl use tas to recreate this insane edit of breezing thru the course

[errant barn]

I’d like to say I’m mechanical tbh

[errant barn]

Oh yeah they use TAS on every map it looks so insane

[cyan sage]

but they still have to physically do the shots themselves

[errant barn]

Or they can just put the inputs in

[cyan sage]

tas only helps with setting a point and going back to it until they make the right shot

[errant barn]

I was talking to some guy who uses tas and he said he doesn’t do it that method because it’s very inconsistent so he puts inputs in so it takes longer but it’s worth it

[cyan sage]

might just be my ego but i’m very mechanical and have amazing game sense 🤓

[errant barn]

my game sense sucks but I’d like to say I’m mechanical like

[cyan sage]

i have a balance but i like to put my own flair into shots

[errant barn]

I mean I’ve done a quad reset before and a triple musty reset ofc in freeplay but I’ve scored a double reset in ranked and stuff

[cyan sage]

i’ve never done any of those besides a double reset and i’ve only done it like a few times

[errant barn]

yeah I get that

I love air dribbling though it feels so nice

[cyan sage]

last night i scored a psycho off my opponent 😂

[errant barn]

how off of ur opponent

[cyan sage]

so my teammate blocked the shot and it went to our backboard and i boosted towards it ending up passing to the opponent and the ppponent tried to take a shot off the wall but it ended up passing back to me and i redirected it into the net from halfway

i have a clip of it and tbh idk if it’s a psycho or not but it’s definitely a redirect

[errant barn]

it’s a redirect yeah because a psycho is when you’re the one hitting it off backboard to yourself for the touch

[cyan sage]

oh right then it was just a redirect off the opponents mb lol

i posted it in clips

[errant barn]

oh that’s a nice dunk bro read him like a book

[cyan sage]

ong bro i’m gonna post another clip that im happy with

[errant barn]

scrub killa tied that’s nice

[cyan sage]

not killa lol

he’s my ps4 who is pro now

[stone flax]

saying ur welcome after hard carrying a toxic tm

[cyan sage]

😂😂😂

[hybrid pine]

any tips for perfecting the ceiling musty double tap? and is that nice to do in plat 1..? cuz i have hit it like 5 times before

[pine storm]

Y u hitting double tap mustys as a plat💀💀

[pine storm]

1s, 2s or 3s?

[autumn igloo]

That’s good to hit as a plat but that just means your game sense/positioning/boost management etc is horrible lmao

[pine storm]

I wouldn't recommend as wen I was in plat, I went up for the ball and manged to pinch it form the wall to the opponents net. After that game I got banned for 3 days because of an unfair advantage to the other team (ps I lost in overtime). So hitting a ceiling double tap musty in plat games is a bad idea imo

[autumn igloo]

what 😭

that’s not how it works brotha

[pine storm]

It does 4 me

Some1 probably though I was a smurf

I play ps so idk wat they were thinking

[autumn igloo]

1 person reporting you for smurfing won’t get you banned for 3 days

[pine storm]

It did 4 me

It was 2s btw

They probably double reported

[autumn igloo]

must’ve been for something else then because that literally just does not happen

[pine storm]

It sed in the description 'unfair advatage' and it was straight after that game

[autumn igloo]

if 2 people reporting someone would get them banned for 3 days don’t you think that it would be more common

[pine storm]

Ye ig

[hybrid pine]

nah its just that i dont have a duo and when i random q i get kids who doesnt even know how to air dribble or anything.. cant even flick or aerial at plat.

[lavish kite]

@cyan sage check dms

[strong river]

"dont even know how to air dribble" Do you really think ppl should know how to air dribble in plat bro 💀

[hybrid pine]

yeah all my friends in plat can air dribble they aint plastic 3s bro what do you think. plats are better now than in 2017 💀

[blissful gate]

not once in my plat lobbies did i see air dribbles

i saw aerial touches but not dribbles

flicks are so inconsistent in plat too and i got out of play not long ago

if u think the standard in plat is to air dribble and flick ur off ur head

[clever cloud]

i was doing triple resets in plat

[blissful gate]

i was hitting ceiling musty quad resets in silver

see how goofy that sounds?

now think about what u said and dont say it again

[strong river]

Bro i was plat like half a year ago and literally 5% of the ppl there could do an "air dribble" and half of that 5% were smurf

And if you can air dribble 1 out of 10 tries in freeplay you cannot air dribble

You should be able to hit it consistantly

[strong river]

I dont think plat has changed so much in half a year

[hybrid pine]

i can air dribble very consistantly

[hybrid pine]

i can do ceiling mustys consistantly at plat 1

[tame forge]

Is there a place in the server when I can get coaching?

[random socket]

Even so you don't need it in plat

[strong river]

Can you add me and show me in priv match? Just curious if u really can do it

[strong river]

People can coach you if you ask in this channel

And some people offer paid coaching in #content-promotion

[bronze mountain]

Anyone here consider themselves a ground freestyler? If so can you send me some clips? I'm outta ideas on what to learn and I need somthin to get the creative juices flowing haha. I'm looking for advanced dribbling not mustys and breezy flicks.

[olive acorn]

Can someone coach me on movement, correlation, or basically everything😭 my highest rank was D2 in s12 then stopped playing for s13 and some of s14 and want to get back into the grind😭

DM me plz

[mortal quail]

Why specifically movement, there is a lot more important things to focus on

But if you wanna get back on the grind, you need to actually grind first, then get coaching after

[olive acorn]

Tbh, really anything works

[hybrid pine]

why and sure

[strong river]

Alr add me my epic is my discord name

[hybrid pine]

not warmed up tho but i can hit it

[hybrid pine]

whats ur rank

[true crypt]

any tips for me im plat2? in 2s
