how long does it take to get used to new binds?

[buoyant monolith]

i ff at 3:30 if my tm whiffs a lot

even if it's tied or just 1 goal lead

hit the ball

just get the reset and hit the ball, it's that simple

backpost rotation and consistent on hitting the ball

avoid double commits

[faint badger]

can someone help me w my controller will reward

[barren oyster]

diabolical 🗿

[buoyant monolith]

its the only way 🗿

my way of telling him: "if u whiff one more ball imma bump you to pluto"

[wind solstice]

how to get good tm8s its too hard for me

[dusky fiber]

either get better at adapting or stop solo qing/search for a mate

[wind solstice]

thanks

yippe my tm8 just sold by randomly not doing the kickoff and we get scored on ofc and sold the round too

[halcyon tendon]

yo anybody wna play 2s

[dusky fiber]

happens, if u cant deal with solo q u need to find a mate

[wind solstice]

no me suck 👍

[halcyon tendon]

its chill u wna play

whats ur rank

[wind solstice]

gold 1 didnt play much

[winged bone]

hi

im dimond can somone teach me how to flip reset bettere

[nimble glen]

i dont get how people are so fast i just played against a champ and im just rolling around everywhere on the floor like what?

[wind solstice]

prob try to do them more or get a better setup also maybe the part after the reset

[buoyant monolith]

it comes with experience

that's what a bronze 2 would feel like playing against u

[buoyant monolith]

dont flip reset in diamond

[wind solstice]

instead do 100 helis with a quadro musty into a 360 maktuf (i think thats the name) into a last musty very ez

[nimble glen]

i pretty much am bronze 2

[wind solstice]

i peaked cardboard 3 div 2 on main and cardboard 1 div 4 on alt so not too bad for u

[winged bone]

i wont use it in game i just wana learn how

[subtle summit]

can youguys give me some tips for plat 1 im stuck rn?

[rancid arch]

work on your rotation and game sense mostly rn

[subtle summit]

okay

iss it good to go for airdrible?

[rancid arch]

and also make sure you have eyes on where your team mate is during the match

[subtle summit]

okay

[rancid arch]

only if your consistent and confident doing them

[subtle summit]

i am pretty confident and i can ground pinch and im close to doing a flip reste

tysm for hyelp

help

[wind solstice]

just win then if u cant

[subtle summit]

thx

[buoyant monolith]

you need to learn how to air dribble and then with the air dribble setup you just have to reverse your car

thats the short answer

for quality flip resets, you need to learn directional air roll

[winged bone]

i know how to air dribble

[buoyant monolith]

which takes months to master at a decent level

[winged bone]

i know that i do rings maps

[buoyant monolith]

did you finish them while constantly air rolling?

[winged bone]

yeah it is hard to do

yeah thats the whole point of doing them

[limber gyro]

how do u speedflip

[buoyant monolith]

then you should be able to do flip resets

[limber gyro]

i watched yt tutorials and its still hard for me im confused

[winged bone]

you diagnol flip then bring the joystick right down and hold left or right air roll depends on if your doing right or left diagonla flip

[winged bone]

yeah i can i just wana get better at them

[buoyant monolith]

practice

[limber gyro]

thats js confusing idk how 😭

[winged bone]

okay i will

[winged bone]

wana freiwnd me ill call you and help

[limber gyro]

ok

[rich loom]

Does it matter that I still use joystick air roll in diamond or should I have left and right air roll binded

[next shoal]

if youre consistent with your settings dont change them

[trim rune]

@rich loom I would recommend binding directional air roll

[rich loom]

I've just went to diamond 1 after being stuck plat 3 so idrk what to do

[next shoal]

how many hours on the game

[rich loom]

I don't know what to bind it to tho cause l2 is my airoll

[rich loom]

A whole lot

Don't worry about it

Too much for my skill level

[trim rune]

I use L1 and R1 for left and right air roll

[next shoal]

same

L1 also has powerslide

[rich loom]

I'll try it out after this tournament and let you know how it feels

[trim rune]

Alr

[wheat wagon]

i know to airdribble ceiling,ground to airdribble,THIS SERVES 0 PURPOSE
with ground dribbles,basic reads and aerials and a lot of gamesense beyond backpost rotation and not commiting corners,i ranked out of plat 2 where i was stuck for 6 months and made it straight to diamond TuffRL is good to learn gamesense, SpookLuke is bad but but if you can decypher his cryptic explanations he could be a good source, was for me.

[nimble glen]

Someone coach me

[rich loom]

Feels weird to use because I never use right and left air roll but I'm gonna try get used to it

[wheat wagon]

if you want to rank up ignore resets unti champ-GC

if you want for fun try to barely tap brake before flying to the ball so you catch it going down.

[nimble glen]

how do i get out of gold

[wheat wagon]

fast aerials and longshots

[nimble glen]

how do i get better at them

[wheat wagon]

training packs

look up powershot training on yt

[nimble glen]

ok

[wheat wagon]

and fast aerial tutorials

[nimble glen]

alr ty

[rich loom]

What rank are you

[wheat wagon]

i skipped basic aerials and skipped gold 2-3

[wheat wagon]

D1

[tribal slate]

Can any1 teach me how to speed flip? Ive watched several videos and cant figure it out

[rich loom]

What mechanics are best to learn now that I'm in diamond

[wheat wagon]

do you have the plugin

[tribal slate]

Im on playstation so i cant get it

[wheat wagon]

wall aerials, Dribbling, flicks, Diamond doesn't neeed aditionnal mechs just mess around in free play. punching the ball around and bounce dribbling.

[tribal slate]

I can kinda speed flip but i don’t know if im doing it right and don’t know how to do it from the start of the spawn

[wheat wagon]

when you are D2 dip your toes into airdribbles and speedflips/wavedashes

[wheat wagon]

there is a training pack

to test speed flips

[tribal slate]

Whats it called

[wheat wagon]

look it up

idk the code,it's by musty

[tribal slate]

I cant do it

I tried a pack but i need to learn how to do it not practice it

[wheat wagon]

do you want to learn with the airroll method or only using the stick

[tribal slate]

I was trying the airroll

[rich loom]

Thanks

[wheat wagon]

then just try to pull down on your stick beofre clicking x the second time

[rich loom]

I just binded left and right air roll but I'm used to using joystick air roll so do you think I should start using left and right air roll going for air dribbles etc

Even tho I'm not good with it

[wheat wagon]

yeah i guess it's easier to airdribble and aerial with it but takes way too long to get good at for minimal ingame impact. and rank up

[rich loom]

So should I just stick to joystick air roll in game and just mess around with left and right until I get used to it

[wheat wagon]

choose one direction

[ivory wren]

Fast aerials, shadow defense, dribbling… u dont really need fancy stuff

[rocky portal]

I would play some rings map with it to get a feel for that

[rich loom]

I'm on ps5

[rich loom]

Ok

[rich loom]

Thanks

[vital panther]

can you help me at speedflip i cant learn it

i learned flip reset but speed flip kinda hard to me

tips*

[wheat wagon]

yeah speedflip is good at any rank, just hold airroll right or left,front flip and pull down on your joystick as fast as you humanly can even begining the motion before htting the flip.

[rocky portal]

check maps in a private matches or you cant do that too on a ps?

[wheat wagon]

ya can

[vital panther]

How do I jump when I press the air roll?

[rocky portal]

press both at the same time

[vital panther]

cant

I can't press it at the same time

thats why i cant do the speedflip

[rocky portal]

you might look at your binds then, like me but getting used to it sucks

[rich loom]

Oh yes

[rocky portal]

there are some maps with a pillars you could fly around those, or one with a tunnel

[shadow minnow]

T

[rich loom]

Ya I will thanks

[hexed parrot]

Is there any pros who can coach me

[ivory wren]

Im not really pro but ig i can help u out

[hexed parrot]

Bet

[glossy shuttle]

Can someone help me get back to diamond please?

[silk nimbus]

im diamond one what’s some good mechanics i should practice

[wise smelt]

speedflip

[quaint belfry]

anyone whos gc3 tryna do tourney eu

[ivory wren]

Shadow defense

[rich loom]

I actually can't learn the new binds for air roll left and right so confusing compared to joystick air roll

[wheat wagon]

ya just flip

there are 8 billion tutorials

[wheat wagon]

shadow defense and aerials of the wall and backboard

[obsidian idol]

im a gsilver 3 almost gold what should i be practicing

[rocky portal]

You will get there it's confusing at the beggining

[winged bone]

i think maybe power shots idrk im not a good coach

[wheat wagon]

hit the ball into the other side bronze-gold is just about keeping the ball away from your net,your opponents will eventually whiff and you get a goal

[cyan sage]

anyone tryna teach me how to hit wallshots

[stone aurora]

?

Like air dribbles and stuff or something else?

[thick karma]

can someone teach me how to air roll on kbm

[cyan sage]

yeah

air dribble i think

[wheat wagon]

rank?

[cyan sage]

never played ranked

[wheat wagon]

ok not airdribbles

he just want's to slap the ball on the wall

[cyan sage]

i get the ball up from the wall and get underneath it

[wheat wagon]

go into freeplay and just drive on the wall

[cyan sage]

thats what im havging trouble with

[wheat wagon]

no ball no nothing

[cyan sage]

ive got that part down

[wheat wagon]

then you want to do a drill where you face the wall

and put the ball infront of you using the d pad and you hit the ball towards the wall and chase it

[cyan sage]

can you join me?

and like show me where im messing up?

[wheat wagon]

no

i can't

[cyan sage]

if anyone can @ me so i can add you

[glossy shuttle]

Any gc ir above wanna play some casual?

[ivory wren]

U need time to get used to it

[mellow harness]

tips for gc2

[stone aurora]

My tip for you is stop asking a server for tips where you’re higher than 98% if players in here

[cyan sage]

confidence

[stone aurora]

Because most likely you’ll either get no tips or bad ones from lower ranks

[flint bronze]

D1 hater

[stone aurora]

There’s a few people that would be good but you should read this see who knows there stuff and ask them

[ivory wren]

As individual advice, play 1s

[cyan sage]

dont hesitate, be confident thats rly it

[ivory wren]

U’ll get faster decision making

[stone aurora]

What’s the biggest rank skill gap in rocket league within itself? Like is gc1-gc3 a bigger difference than c1-c3 skill wise or

[cyan sage]

gc1-gc3 is like plat-gc

[ivory wren]

Gc1-gc3 prolly

[cyan sage]

went from never playing to gc fasterr than gc1-gc3

[stone aurora]

Why so

[ivory wren]

After reaching gc u dont improve that fast

If you know what I mean

[mellow harness]

chill.

i was just tryna get tips

[cyan sage]

i feel like i had to improve a lot to get gc3

you have to get so much better to get gc3 from gc1

[stone aurora]

So it takes longer to get higher but why is the skill difference so much? Like speed or

[mellow harness]

even if ik i’m gonna miss?

or get beat

[flint bronze]

Currently just started trying to improve, got any tips to help me to be more consistent at hitting the ball accurately and hard?

[cyan sage]

probably dont go for smth u never hit, but if ur not confident you will miss and you will get beat

if ur confident ur gonna be better at creating space

[cyan sage]

yo you should help me

cuse youl win challanges and shi like that

[ivory wren]

I feel gamesense and decision making makes the difference

[stone aurora]

It was a genuine tip bc half the people in this channel have no idea what they’re talking abt so I wouldn’t want you to listen to them and derank. The people like iisaho and iiamao are good

[ivory wren]

Well and consistency

[mellow harness]

?

[ivory wren]

Thx dude

[mellow harness]

is there any maps i should practice as well like recovery or anything

[flint bronze]

Is spamming 1’s like actually worth it or will I get just abt as good a benefit playing 2s?

[mellow harness]

for like mid gc2

[stone aurora]

What rank are you

[cyan sage]

idk ive never done a training pack, id say js freeplaying

try to land smooth while js freeplaying fast ig

[flint bronze]

Just started trying to improve so sitting gold rn

[ivory wren]

Mmm actually there is a workshop map for recoveries that I used to play

[flint bronze]

Just came back to the game after like 2 years, peaked plat 3

[mellow harness]

i have the hornets nest one

[flint bronze]

Nothing to flex just some info

[mellow harness]

but it’s a bit too easy for me

[cyan sage]

js bind like "take possesion" "pass ball" them ones and freeplay and js try to land in a way where u keep ur speed

[ivory wren]

Then learning ingame should be the choice to practice

[mellow harness]

alright

[cyan sage]

if you watch pros warmup youl see them js doing that

[ivory wren]

I feel 1s help a lot with recoveries

[cyan sage]

helps you with keeping ur speed in game, therefor not having to go back for boost and stuff

[mellow harness]

i’m decent at ones i’m more of a 1s kind of player

i like to take pos a lot

and dribble

[cyan sage]

thats a good start, 1s players usualy do good in 2s

the best 1s players are usaly at the top of the 2s leaderboard

[raw ruin]

how do you jump restart @cyan sage

[cyan sage]

[ivory wren]

Agree

[mellow harness]

yeah i was just wondering some tips cause i went from c3 to gc2 today and i just platowed at gc2

[raw ruin]

[mellow harness]

i haven’t played in a min so i started at c3

[cyan sage]

alwasy very confident, wich is js so nice to play wit

u get so much space

[cyan sage]

[raw ruin]

how do i get out of gold, i have 3k games this season and just cant get past g3

[ivory wren]

They are so consistent

[raw ruin]

@cyan sage its my teammates help

[flint bronze]

Currently just started trying to improve, got any tips to help me to be more consistent at hitting the ball accurately and hard? (Like not missing and shi)

whats ur rank

[vernal cosmos]

Plat 2

[mellow harness]

💀

heli resets are the least of ur worries gang

[vernal cosmos]

yes they are

i want to be good freestyler i dont care abt comp

the whole game isnt just abt comp

[obsidian idol]

the whole game isnt just freestyle either

[pale vault]

[vernal cosmos]

ya ill focus on ranked later

if i want to cuz its rlly boring

[mellow harness]

wanna date

[vernal cosmos]

yes

[cyan sage]

[mellow harness]

basically to help reset

there’s this mechanic called open youtube in your browser then look up how to heli

in rl

[vernal cosmos]

yes but i want a good freestyler to teach me it maybe ill find one here i think

i did tutorials and i got to 2 reset but i cant get past that

[mellow harness]

contact pulse clan

[solar plaza]

I mean if you can do 2 helis just keep practicing and refining it for more

[solar plaza]

keeping the setup straight and getting good flat resets straight under the ball are key

[cyan sage]

play comp

[solar plaza]

never

[cyan sage]

play 2s

[solar plaza]

nuh uh

[cyan sage]

go ssl

How to get better at ball control and striking?

[rotund kettle]

Can I speed flip using free airoll instead of directional

[white sable]

Yes

[glossy shuttle]

Can a diamond player thats on pc play with me

[somber prism]

@cyan sage Welcome to Rocket League!

You could watch some YouTube tutorials on the basics, which will help.

Really, you just need to get more comfortable with the controls and how your car moves around.

The lowest rank I've been was Silver 3, and you can beat those players by just hitting the ball towards their net over and over again.

Silver 1/2s will be even worse, so you'll manage to beat those players and rank up soon.

If you just play more matches, you'll get better pretty quick. Good luck!

And playing with people better than you is really good.

Oh damn. I'm sorry.

Haha I've been around since Season 1 and I'm Gold 2 now, so I'm not doing so great either.

Hey, RL's a game. If all you care about is your rank, you're missing the point :P

[proud crater]

anyone down to play? I’m on ps

[somber prism]

@cyan sage I'd recommend hopping in casual 2s with somebody really good. I've done this a lot. The GCs I've met were all really helpful because they're good enough at the game to give great advice.

Oh nice! If they're happy to help you, that's great.

[olive schooner]

anyone hosting a pm rn? and need 1?

[silver ocean]

Anyone have tips for speed flips? Struggling rn I keep doing a kindve barrel roll diagonal flip

[dusty glacier]

diagonal flip

then down on the stick

[silver ocean]

No way it’s that easy right?

[dusty glacier]

yeah it is

doing it perfect is hard but just doing it is easy

[worldly sparrow]

bro im hard stuck plat am i cooked?

[cyan sage]

thats not too bad

[hallow dagger]

Any C2 or better players wanna hit a casual?

[worldly sparrow]

im plat 3 d2 i can hit a air dribble once every 600 shots

[fierce oar]

i think i had like 1 thousands hours when i was high c1 to c2

[cyan sage]

you dont gotta worry about air dribbling at plat 3

[dusty glacier]

consistently hit the ball before tryna do mechs

[cyan sage]

whos that one guy who had lord alien as his name

[worldly sparrow]

ik i just be going for stuff like that in casual

and then in plat tho all my tm8 keep ball chasing

like i can take control of ball and try to flick and they just come and hit the ball or bump me

[fierce oar]

in plat all it takes is powershots on target and maybe some defense and 50s

[cyan sage]

watch flakes' road to ssl series

it made me go from like plat 3 to d3

[worldly sparrow]

yeah but if i lose the 50 my tm8 is right behind me instead of positioning

[cyan sage]

when i was unmotivated

[worldly sparrow]

[icy nimbus]

Lf someone to actually help me with resets and not talk about rank

[lethal wadi]

Anyone tryna play NAE ?

[cyan sage]

whats ur rank

[icy nimbus]

D2

[lethal wadi]

I’m trying to learn air roll right can anyone help who’s better than champ 😭

[cyan sage]

watch yt tutorial😏

[icy nimbus]

I can reset, I just want tips I should say, on how to control how powerful the reset is

[cyan sage]

js dont go into it as fast that way it doesnt fly away from you

[icy nimbus]

No like, how do I use the flip into the ball and keep it close at the same time

[cyan sage]

ah, so hard to explain

[silver surge]

someone come show me some mechanics 😦

[silver ocean]

There’s a good training pack I can’t remember the guys name but it’s like IPJoker or Ljoker or smt

It’s absolutely amazing, taught me how to get better at my aerial passing plays too

[lethal wadi]

Can anyone help me with air roll right I’ve watched most videos but I need a in person explanation 😭

[austere nacelle]

buy a coach

[icy nimbus]

What if he broke 🤔

[austere nacelle]

go do a doordash order, and hell be good

[icy nimbus]

Lmao

[ivory wren]

Most part of that is gamesense so the best way to learn is seeing how pros do it and try to imitate it

[vagrant magnet]

anyone able to look at a replay and tell me that it's not my tm8s holding me back

[hoary niche]

jenna i can

[fierce venture]

when you guys go for a flip rset/multiple, do you hold powerslide/air roll?

[buoyant monolith]

yes

depends on the reset variant

but in 95% of the cases yea

[fierce venture]

so for multiple rapid resets

would those need you to hold PS?

[buoyant monolith]

you just have to adjust

so yea kinda

[fierce venture]

so first reset that I would get off the wall I would hold PS correct?

[buoyant monolith]

what is ps bro

powerslide?

i just hold directional air roll left or right

when doing resets

[fierce venture]

Yeah it's powerslide

[fierce venture]

Alright thank you

[silver surge]

someone come teach me mechanics 😦

[bright grail]

Can other people see my custom pfp on PC?

With alpha console?

[shrewd canyon]

Nah

[silver surge]

🎣

[shrewd canyon]

?

[high kestrel]

[silver surge]

🤓

[shrewd canyon]

🗿

[wide lichen]

What’s the easiest method to learn airoll

[wide lichen]

Is powersliding how you do multiple flips in the air

[buoyant monolith]

some people do it with powerslide idk

most people use directional air roll tho

[minor lichen]

Its a binding called directional air roll, most people set this on the same bind as powerslide.

[narrow flax]

just play more and go in training map

[minor lichen]

i have a feeling he dsnt need to learn air roll

[narrow flax]

what’s his rank ?

[minor lichen]

idk but if you dont know the term flip reset you seem really new to me

[minor lichen]

just read this message again @narrow flax

[narrow flax]

owwww okay, i get it now

so yeah you right he’s probably a new player

[narrow flax]

nop

[woven pecan]

helpful

[buoyant monolith]

but am i wrong tho?

[woven pecan]

detail needed

[woven pecan]

sorta

golds can air dribble now

[buoyant monolith]

they cant

gold just know the controls

i dont think they can even jump

[woven pecan]

bros never been in a gold lobby

i can half flip, wave dash, zap dash, wass dash, air dribble, dribble, breezi

[buoyant monolith]

you cant do any of these

[woven pecan]

say mothers life

[buoyant monolith]

you just think you can

which is a difference, cause that's the fantasy in ur head

[buoyant monolith]

you only need to drive the car and ocasionally put the ball in the net just by driving into the ball to get champion

idk what are those mechs u are yapping about

u are playing rocket league in the most wrong way

[woven pecan]

right

[buoyant monolith]

you can get to champ and never jump in the air ever

[woven pecan]

you wouldnt stand a chance in champ lobbies without being mechanical

[buoyant monolith]

bro you are gold, how do you know how champ lobbies are

you can get to gc even without being mechanical

[woven pecan]

i was champ b4 LOL

[buoyant monolith]

from champ to gold? that's some delulu shi right there

[woven pecan]

not really

if you aint played in like 3 years its not

[buoyant monolith]

good for u, stay stuck in gold for the next 3 years too

[woven pecan]

bros a reject

hop off

[buoyant monolith]

i know your tears are coming out, but there's no point in crying over a game

[woven pecan]

right bud

[buoyant monolith]

just get a brain surgery or something, that's the only hope for u

[woven pecan]

id probably murk you in a 1v1 i wouldnt chat now

[buoyant monolith]

to get a game sense

[buoyant monolith]

ok, wanna 1v1?

c3 v g2

[buoyant monolith]

bro said that while i won 21-0 in my warmup game 💀

[woven pecan]

c3 and g2 is a big diff dont you think

[buoyant monolith]

15-1 second game, the 1 goal was cause the ball was in front of the net and my screen froze for 3 sec

[woven pecan]

what was the biggest issues in my gameplay

[buoyant monolith]

everything

[woven pecan]

name

[buoyant monolith]

.. everything that can be named

[woven pecan]

example 1

[buoyant monolith]

slow as a turtle

[woven pecan]

example 2

[buoyant monolith]

i am not giving u the entire list, u have to work on everything

u are a literal gold

[buoyant monolith]

you lied about that

[buoyant monolith]

you lied about that too, you cant do any of these

[woven pecan]

you blind?

[buoyant monolith]

and that's not what happened

[woven pecan]

didnt see the wave dash

yeah no perfect setups

[buoyant monolith]

if you need perfect setups, then you cant do it

[woven pecan]

thats mastering it

doing it is different

[buoyant monolith]

when someone says "i can air dribble", that means they can score it at least 9/10 of the times and they can do it from every possible position, no matter how bad it is

[buoyant monolith]

doesnt matter, it's useless

if you cant do it 9/10 or 10/10 times in ranked

you are just playing for the opponents

and losing the game on purpose

[woven pecan]

right

[azure garden]

Damn

[blazing badge]

this is real

[fair iris]

Bro what

[blazing badge]

Completely disagree

[strong loom]

im 2000 mmr so ssl and i barely win any games

[blazing badge]

damn bro help me out I'm c1

[buoyant monolith]

very

champs are not mechanical as people think

sure, they might hit some juicy clips in casual or freeplay

but when it comes to ranked they will never do those

they are just plats that play at a higher speed, and a bit more consistent

considering that most of my opponents in c3 miss like on average at least 5 whole open nets

sometimes even 10+ when they're trolling

in 5 mins ..

[wide lichen]

O

[wide lichen]

I’m not new to the game I just can’t flip more that once in the air

[raven solstice]

any tips to go from c2 to c3 or gc1

[buoyant monolith]

keep the ball close to you, dont play volleyball with the opponents

[raven solstice]

ok also what rank are u

[raven solstice]

oh yeah i also do that and they challenge leads to a goal

[buoyant monolith]

c3, gc peak

[buoyant monolith]

then drop the ball and do a good 50

[raven solstice]

u should go on alt and play w me and see what i do wrong 🙂

[buoyant monolith]

make them challenge in your corner

or just flick the ball past them early

pass to yourself using the side wall

[raven solstice]

ooo i dont do that

thats a good tip

[buoyant monolith]

while ground dribbling you can drop the ball for your tm to use and and you go for a demo

this will catch them off guard

if there's a 2v1 situation and your tm has the ball, bump or demo their last man

so your tm just rolls the ball into the net

there are so many things u can do

[raven solstice]

what happens my tm commits and IM stuck in a 2v1 alone

[buoyant monolith]

if you can challenge, do it as early as you can

if not, shadow defense and hope for the best

they are not dangerous in that rank for 2v1 anyway

[raven solstice]

alr

ill keep these tips in mind

[buoyant monolith]

np

[acoustic blaze]

Thats the realest thing ive seen in a while, same goes for gc1. They are not as good as people think, u can go against zen but also ppl that can barley aireal. There isnt that much of a diffrence between champ and gc

People say that they are "faster" and yea, in some cases they are but they get it confuesed with ball chasing. 80% of gcs ball chase.

[buoyant monolith]

real

[buoyant monolith]

yeah the line between ballchasing and being fast is very thin for a lot of people lol

it also depends on the playstyle, you can see a player that is patient and is taking their time

but in reality they could be really fast

the speed thing is situational

being fast means making decision faster and getting to the position where you want to be asap, boost management

[fleet palm]

did they change the command for LFG?

[buoyant monolith]

or reading the game, predicting where your opponents/tm will go, where the ball will bounce so you can act on that

[fleet palm]

I'm trying the / and its not working

[buoyant monolith]

which is different from what people are used to when they hear speed ( which is mostly ballchasing )

[buoyant monolith]

no

[buoyant monolith]

write /looking

[fleet palm]

yea not working

[buoyant monolith]

sad

maybe restart your discord

[fleet palm]

apparently there was an update. thanks for the heads up

any coaches in here? I've been a high C2/C3 player for a few seasons now and I've recently sunk down to D3/C1 and cant seem to get back up? I dont have many friends at my level that I can play 2s with. what the hek am I doing wrong?!

[buoyant monolith]

do you analyze your own replays?

i am not a coach, but i can give some tips

although i am more mechanically inclined rather than a game sense player

[fleet palm]

I do. I'd say I'm more of a game sense player instead of a mechanical one. I solo-queue alot so having to adjust my game with every new teammate is getting exhausting

[buoyant monolith]

do you play 1v1?

[fleet palm]

I don't. I usually spend a few hours a day on mechanics and the rest of my time playing 2s

Just came off a week long sabbatical hoping that would help but my god its annoying

[buoyant monolith]

you need to play 1s too

that will solve most of your issues

trust me

i know it's uncomfortable

but it's the easiest way to get where you want to be

you dont need to grind the mode, just play it, at least for fun

and dont focus on the rank

once you get to d3 something or c1 in 1s, you have at least the offensive capabilities to get gc in 2s

in soloq

[white sable]

so if u c1 in 1s but not gc in 2s what u lacking

thay may or may not describe me lol

[buoyant monolith]

not being used to teamplay

you need to see what your teammate is mostly up to in the first minute, then use them as a tool kinda

to adjust your gameplay

what does that mean? for example if your tms is on the ball 24/24 and double commits all the time, just let the ball to them and play passive

stay close to the play and stuff

the same goes for the other extremity

however if they are unpredictable

all you can do is pray

that match will be just rng

[wide lichen]

So how do u flip more than once in the air

[wide lichen]

Ok give me some

I’ve been off and on the game for months and I’ve always hit diamond 1

[buoyant monolith]

get the reset from the ball or from the ceiling

[blazing badge]

get reset or jump off the roof

[wide lichen]

Ok

[wide lichen]

Did you beat that guy in 1s who was gold

[buoyant monolith]

yes

it would have been sad if i didnt

[blazing badge]

I'm D2 in 1's and C1 in 2's 😢

I think I should be atleast c2 🤯

[wind solstice]

no stay at c1

[blazing badge]

dawg I wanna get GC and just quit the game 🐒

[white sable]

yea this advice actually makes a lot of sense

feel like my biggest weakness is probably hesitating too much

probably stems from not understanding what tm8 is going to do

[buoyant monolith]

it's better to just challenge rather than risk to get croissanted in a fake

but its situational lol

[cyan sage]

To everyone thinking they get trash teammates all the time this is a tip for all of you, just play games, even if u lose just keep playing games thats how u improve ur gamesense, warmup in training and just grind playing games, remember when ur tm8 is up u have to be in a position where u could shoot but at the same time be Quick enough to save a shot if they shoot, thats why shadow defense is important. Coming from a ssl in 2s

Its not always on your teammates, u probably play the same as them most of the time and they think the same thing about you, to rank up u have to be the one thinking smart, you cant always rely on your teammate

[slow magnet]

I'm trying to find 2 gcs or 2 asks to play some matches with me to improve my gameplay and become faster I'm also Gold

[dusky fiber]

u dont need a gc to help u get faster, in general speed shouldnt be much of your concern, if u are gold u need to focus on consistency, and if u rlly want to get someone higher to help u the person should be dia max

[mild acorn]

who’s the lowest level here

[slow magnet]

no like i wanna go in gc servers so i can kinda get used to being fast

[steel trench]

can someone teach me

[obsidian idol]

can some one help me with a double heli reset musty double?

im bronze 3 right now

[slow magnet]

...

someone tell him

[obsidian idol]

the helis are easy but the musty into the double tap is wjat gets me

[wind solstice]

just get the musty and double tap and score it its simple

[obsidian idol]

ah okay thanks

[wind solstice]

my best was only a double musty so cant give good tips just smth mid

[blazing badge]

what should I do as someone who has been c1 for a VERY Long time

[versed topaz]

its a big jump though

no need to do that at all

[glass swallow]

Does anyone here have experience with tas? I really need some help

[dusky fiber]

speed is not everything tho, they are speedy cause they can do certain things which u massivly lack, fundamental stuff, if u try to skip those u will just have it more hard, so a dia players is def way more realistic and will def help u more

[slow magnet]

thats not what i meant...

[dusky fiber]

focus on these things: 1. play more 1s to improve individually, 2. play less risky (no overcomitting in corners) 3. Dont leave your mate alone!! If u do that its not the mistake of ysour teammate not saving the ball on defense its yours for leaving him alone 4. Rotate more around the smaller pads to stay more in rotation 5. If u pass just do save passes where u stay in rotation otherwise this might cause a goal 6. Adapt to your teammate! 6. most important thing: Look at yourself and dont blame your mate, if u solo q temamates are a factor u cant change so if there is nothing to improve u will just be hardstuck in that rank if thats your mindset

[ionic burrow]

It’s not about speed the reason they’re fast is bc they’re mechanically consistent making them look faster

[slow magnet]

ik bru

[dusky fiber]

what do u mean then?

[glass swallow]

anyone?

[wind solstice]

nope

[ionic burrow]

I don’t abbreviate mechanic names so idk what your talking about

[cyan sage]

Can someone coach me

I got champ last season rn D3 Div 3

[austere ore]

Practice recoveries.

[halcyon chasm]

I need coaching someone?

[flint raft]

what rank r u

[sand kelp]

can anyone coach me ?

[halcyon chasm]

Silver 1

[buoyant monolith]

you need to play more

[flint raft]

gotta improve most things then

improve the simple things 1st prob like shooting and aerials and then start learning stuff like shadow defense

[buoyant monolith]

those are for diamond and champ, not silver

shooting is a good thing to practice tho

and getting used to the game

[flint raft]

do shadow defense at like mid gold then

[buoyant monolith]

shadow defense is strictly for champ+

or diamond if it's 1v1

[flint raft]

u dont have to master it

if ur doing 2s or 3s then shadow defense is a must

[buoyant monolith]

backpost rotation for defense is better for low ranks

[flint raft]

true but start learning it at gold just incase

[halcyon chasm]

Like this

I can’t send srry

[flint raft]

wait what rank r u

[halcyon chasm]

But I can already shoot

[buoyant monolith]

c3

[glacial garnet]

Anyone champ 1 i need a team for 2s

[flint raft]

aerials

[buoyant monolith]

you can't, practice it more

[halcyon chasm]

I can that too

[flint raft]

oh i thought u were the silver i forgot

[buoyant monolith]

🗿

[flint raft]

ok ur advice is better prob tho

[halcyon chasm]

@buoyant monolith imma dm okay?

[flint raft]

u can do it but have u mastered it?

well not mastered but can u hit it alot

[buoyant monolith]

if there's something you cant do at leat 8-9 times out of 10 consistently, it's a death sentence for your rank

[sand kelp]

im gold 4 rn, any tips ?

[buoyant monolith]

unless you are practicing on purpose in ranked something

you will derank, but you will regain after you master that thing, and even get higher mmr after that

[flint raft]

plat or gold 3?

[sand kelp]

gold 3 div 4 mb

[flint raft]

oh

i cant rlly say much im plat 2

maybe gamesense or smth

[sand kelp]

still a higher rank than me, i wanna get to plat

[buoyant monolith]

improve your shooting

[wind solstice]

focus on rotations gamesense and less double commits also id recommend seing for the like 1st min or so of the game if u tm8 is a ballchaser or smth if he is try to play passive while still in the play if he isnt u can prob do agrro if he aint a ballchaser prob play 1s or smth

[cloud vigil]

went from 2 games from c3 to c1 div 4 😦

and im getting flamed by my tm8s

when they whiff on the ball 11/10 times

[idle zinc]

just make the game easier for your team8s and youll win alot more games

cant control what typa team8 u get every game so just adapt to how they play and make the game easier for them

[cloud vigil]

i sit back and let them do what they want to do but when i see an opportunity i take it but im getting smacked out the air by my tm8 😦

i dont like to blame tm8s but its just so frustrationg getting blamed when they do stuff like that

[idle zinc]

gotta learn to rotate around them and dont play so reactively to where you get super awkward and dont know what to do just try to predict where the ball is based off of looking at the other teams and ur team8s cars and position urself accordingly

and try not to hold down ur drive button all the time, often times youll get too close to the play when you do that, making u awkward

[cloud vigil]

i used to do that but i dont anymore

[idle zinc]

and be confident

[idle zinc]

your positioning will suffer if u dont pay attention to everyone elses movements and u just tunnel vision on the ball

youll feel like a lost puppy

[cloud vigil]

i do tunnel vision alot

[idle zinc]

just watch your replays, only focus on yourself and your mistakes, u cant fix ur team8s mistakes

[cloud vigil]

ye ik

[idle zinc]

say to yourself, what could i have done differently there, or why did i do that?

[cloud vigil]

still is frustrating

[idle zinc]

yeah its a long process dude, ive definitely been there before

[cloud vigil]

ye...

[idle zinc]

just takes time, champ is one of the most volatile ranks rn bc the ranking system is poop, so its hard for alot of players to progress to GC due to alot of different factors in that rank

[cloud vigil]

my mate got gc and we are similar skill level but i play alot more than him so i tend to gain when i play then he gets off and i get bored and solo q and run into solo q tm8s

but as you said i cant refine tm8s but i can refine myself

[idle zinc]

exactly, u never know what ur really gonna get when u get into a game so u just gotta focus on what u can control

[cloud vigil]

true

[idle zinc]

youll get it u just gotta put in the time

[cloud vigil]

yeah ik

last time i got tilted i watched a 12 hour vid on python coding lol

[idle zinc]

its very easy to get hardstuck and complacent but when u look back on ur mistakes and acknowledge what u did wrong instead of just going thru the motions and ur mistakes going in one ear and out the other, youll rank up much faster

[coarse topaz]

what yall above champ say is necessary to learn to get out of champ to gc

like every other things than mechanics

[civic pendant]

Consistency with the basics

[coarse topaz]

i mean 2s btw

[idle zinc]

basic mechanics, not giving the ball away, making the game easier for ur team8

[coarse topaz]

what do u say is the best way to practice

[idle zinc]

and just realizing what is going on and capitalizing on the enemies mistakes

youll see alot of mechanically gifted players hardstuck in c2 and c3 because they have 0 gamesense

[coarse topaz]

yea me literally

[idle zinc]

very easy to make them awkward when u know what ur doing, all the flashy stuff is just for show half the time

[civic pendant]

Just play the game, that’s how I did it. I’ve never sat in freeplay or anything trying to learn a specific skill

[coarse topaz]

been playing for 6 years😭

[civic pendant]

Sounds like c1-gc1 lol

[idle zinc]

i wouldnt invest alot of time into training packs, just play the game and run freeplay to get a grasp of how to hit the ball and how it bounces around the field

get more creative in freeplay, its where u can try out new things

[balmy tapir]

I havne't been able to find an answer on yt, so imma ask here. Are my speedflips supposed to look like side flips? I'm able to get a decent and somewhat consistent speedflip, but some of the people I've seen's flips look like side flips, and others look like their nose is pointed further down.

[idle zinc]

watch your own replays, write down your mistakes, what departments u lack in the most, what type of mistakes u make the most. and then just learn from them and ingrain the right way into your head from just playing over and over

[balmy tapir]

which is "better", and which is more consistent/"better" for a gold?

[idle zinc]

it will come with time u just have to know what is preventing you from reaching a higher rank

[civic pendant]

on controller if you are getting an optimal angle or close to one they should look like side flips a bit. Hard to say without a video though

[idle zinc]

honestly ask some high rank person to do a replay review for u, u can get alot of useful information that way because they can see things you cant

[balmy tapir]

on a ps5 controller, if I drew a line from the center of the joystick to the actual stick, it ends up pointing towards the right arrow on the arrow pad

if that makes sense

[idle zinc]

also theres a mod u can use on how to get a perfect speed flip every time. i think musty made it but i do not use it

[balmy tapir]

I'm on console

[civic pendant]

Yeah there is one. I’m on kbm though so I’m stuck with my 45 degree ones lol

[balmy tapir]

I wish I could I love more info and stuff like that

[idle zinc]

also, if u really want to get good at the game, id recommend switching to PC

[balmy tapir]

not really an option :(

I'm a robot nerd, so there's a limit to how much time/money I can dedicate

[idle zinc]

but you can still get good on consoles, just at a disadvantage

[balmy tapir]

gotcha

any advice for practicing on console?

[idle zinc]

use a monitor not a TV, less input lag. use freeplay, watch your own replays

[balmy tapir]

I'm limited to 30 mins a day 😭

[idle zinc]

u can only play 30 mins a day??

[balmy tapir]

yup

I've only had the game for a few months too

and somehow I'm still gold 2

[idle zinc]

well i mean if u only get to play 30 mins a day gold two aint bad

[balmy tapir]

could probably rank better, but I play with my brother (splitscreen ik), and I'd say hes probably silver 3

[idle zinc]

at ur stage of the game u just need to simply play the game more

once u get deep into plat is when youll start learning things

[balmy tapir]

also, how important is it to learn air roll while arialling?

like, I can use it plenty fine to do wavedash off walls, recoveries, etc, but not during an arial

I can't do it if my car is upside down

[idle zinc]

for u rn not important at all, there are a ton of other things you should be learning instead of trying to master air roll

[balmy tapir]

that's what I thought thanks

um, what would be most important then?

[idle zinc]

u shouldnt worry about aerial car control until about diamond/ champ

[balmy tapir]

oh ok

[idle zinc]

i would say making good contact with the ball, not just getting some cruddy hit. im talking like powerful hits to make your opponents awkward

[balmy tapir]

I've been getting better abt that

recently I've been accidentally double jumping instead of flipping

[idle zinc]

now gold is kind of recklesss and theres no sense of organization to the games because nobody really knows what theyre doing

[balmy tapir]

yea you're kinda right

very chaotic

I don't have time to really set anything up

[idle zinc]

and try not to overcommit, like if u see ur team8 go head over heels for a ball and you're the last line of defense, dont throw urself at the ball because it would just be an automatic goal for them

[balmy tapir]

tht's something I do need to work on

I do doubles with my brother, and he's usually the last line

but I still overcommit when we're both defending

[idle zinc]

yeah, i also would not recommend a permanent goalie, alot of people will do it in the lower ranks and it wont work past the rank theyre in

but just work on making solid contact with the ball, getting powerful hits around the field, it will be hard for your opponents to read those balls and react well to them

[balmy tapir]

we have figured that out, but we still have one person on "defense", and I've been trying to push to kinda rotating between them and stuff

k cool

[idle zinc]

yeah gold/plat is where youll start to learn how to rotate

[balmy tapir]

nice!

[idle zinc]

if you're curious just look up a simple video on how to rotate and u can practice with ur brother on splitscren

[balmy tapir]

is anything like backwards saves and things like that a good thing to work on?

good idea!

[idle zinc]

"uncomfortable saves" training pack is great for practicing those hard saves

[balmy tapir]

I'll look into that

[idle zinc]

but other than that just put some time in and play the game

dont worry about the big stuff rn

[balmy tapir]

mainly the goals we let in is when we both overcommit on offense and weird recoveries after saves

[idle zinc]

and try to find a way to play for an hour a day instead of 30 minutes 😅

[balmy tapir]

I'd love to

we do get some leeway with tournaments

like, I'm allowed to warm up for a 5:00 tourney at 4:30, but after the tournament that's it

[idle zinc]

just be mindful of ur brother because hes probably way more likely to dive at the ball than u are, so honestly let him be the agressive one and you play cleanup

and then when he gets to ur skill level u can work on rotating

[balmy tapir]

I haven't thought abt that

also I'm tryna convince him to stop using the merc and go to octane 😭

he says merc is better for goalie

[idle zinc]

but that doesnt mean sit back and watch, just if u see him in front of u dont go for the ball and vice versa

[balmy tapir]

gotcha

[idle zinc]

the best cars are octane, fennec, dominus (arguable), and the only other one id put up there are other cars with the octane hitbox and the batmobile

but right now, it doesnt matter what u use

[civic pendant]

All cars are viable but pros as well as most other people use octane hitbox cars (octane, fennec, and many more)

[idle zinc]

^

[balmy tapir]

I feel like you can get more power with the octane idk why

also I don't get spending $10 on a fennec when it has the same hitbox

[idle zinc]

half of it is a placebo effect

[balmy tapir]

very true

kinda like mariokart 8 acutally

[civic pendant]

The way you visualize the hitbox can change how you play. Functionally the are the same though

[balmy tapir]

good point

[idle zinc]

anyone in here actively rn thats SSL?

[scenic wagon]

BRO I JUST FOUND OUT WHY MY SPEEDFLIPS WERE SO BAD AT THE END

YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO BOOST AFTER YOUR SUPERSONIC

[idle zinc]

cuz u werent holding powerslide

[scenic wagon]

i hold powerslide

[idle zinc]

or that

[balmy tapir]

wait what

I had no idea

[scenic wagon]

thats why i kept landing sideways

[balmy tapir]

that might be why mine can never land straight

[idle zinc]

yeah dont waste ur boost when that lil trail pops out, thats the maximum speed u can go

[civic pendant]

Are you supposed to hold power slide when speed flipping? 😭

[scenic wagon]

no

it just gives smoother landing

[balmy tapir]

wait you can't go faster than supersonic?

[idle zinc]

i do in case its not straight

[scenic wagon]

someone teach this guy how to read

[idle zinc]

no

[balmy tapir]

you're supposed to hold it during all landings basically

[balmy tapir]

hey what'd I do?

[ivory wren]

At some point he’ll realize that each player does not have a single role but, depending on the situation, he will have to do what the situation requires

[balmy tapir]

I was tryna confirm what he was saying

[idle zinc]

@scenic wagon bros taking u to school rn as a gold 😭

[ivory wren]

Just give him time

[civic pendant]

I do, I’ve just never held it while speed flipping

[scenic wagon]

im plat aswell

[balmy tapir]

ok I'm probably trying to rush him

[scenic wagon]

but i can airdribble and speedflip he probably cant (consistently)

[balmy tapir]

lol

[ivory wren]

xd

[balmy tapir]

how long have you played

[idle zinc]

i really hope they bring back trading itll bring back so many players

[scenic wagon]

like 250 hrs

[balmy tapir]

I've had like 70 hrs of playing time and I'm gold 2

30 mins a day

[idle zinc]

[balmy tapir]
