shooting yea dribbling not necessary

[unborn oasis]

dawg

why did i just lose a whole rank

[worthy drum]

i focused on shooting and when i did i became plat

[barren oyster]

oof

[fossil whale]

so errr I focus on like power shots and how do i increase my shot accuracy correct?

[worthy drum]

yea

[fossil whale]

K ty

[worthy drum]

anytime

[barren oyster]

Learning how to shoot the ball where you want is a golden skill

[fossil whale]

ok ty guys for ur tips

[barren oyster]

Also try to keep in mind how much boost you have and if you really need to go for a 100 pad. Not that important in gold but it’ll make you a better player

[split skiff]

any tips for gc2?

[simple nova]

yes

[shrewd canyon]

Anyone got good tips to get to diamond from plat 2

[raw ruin]

@fringe galefor what

[dusk badger]

I actually went from plat 3 to diamond today, it was horrifying (200 hours) but my tips for you:

your teammate isn’t gonna pass or carry 80% of the time so always play like your the only one there

don’t go to your opponents corner often (it’s risky)

handle your rotation wisely (you attack then after your done immediately go back to goal)

Wait for the opponent to shoot or mess up a mechanic then score

Have a decent kick off (diagonal flips or speed flips if you can do them)

Air dribbles are completely useless here, focus on dribbling and flicks and power shots

Get better recoveries (wave dash, half flip and better movement)

[fringe gale]

to watch my game and tell me what ijm doing wrong

[raw ruin]

like comp or mech wise

[fringe gale]

rn

??

[raw ruin]

yea gimme sec

[fringe gale]

Ok

[sacred raven]

yeah no, your teammate is never passing. don't even think of doing a passing play in 2s

2s is just taking turns 2v1'ing

its not a team game

[sacred raven]

stop commiting in the offensive 1/3rd when you have no boost, and stop trying to force the ball up the opponent's corner

[tacit compass]

Can someone give me some tips to go from silver 3 to gold 1

[sacred raven]

im so goddamn sick of watching plats in replays do that

[dusk badger]

That’s what I said, I have gotten a few passing plays that’s why I said “about 80%”

or it’s just that your teammate is always afk or doesn’t know how to play

[whole kettle]

When do I git gud?

[oblique mortar]

or is that mf who misses the ball and then just start doing anything except play the game

[sacred raven]

i would say decency starts at c3

[whole kettle]

[sick crystal]

can anyone give me some tips i keep bouncing back and forth between plat and diamond

[zenith minnow]

update I just went from plat 3 to d3 in one week. I found out that my rotations were the prime issue. I found a good team mate and we both went from d1 to d3 just tonight

I did it

[sick crystal]

can anyone give me some tips i keep bouncing back and forth between plat and diamond im not very mechanical but ik the fundamentals and how to rotate

[zenith minnow]

@sick crystal I thought I could rotate to but I guess not train rotates and train Arielles and redirects as much as possible it carries me through

[warped pivot]

idk what im doing wrong i need somone to point out my mistakes

[cedar swift]

well how we supposed to help u outta diamond?

[median crater]

ill admit i was pretty general thats my fault, maybe like some tips or sum tho?

[cedar swift]

well idk where ur going wrong
but work on rotations and positioning (BACK POST)

[median crater]

i do that

[cedar swift]

keep working on them, learn boost management, and master the fundamentals

[median crater]

i think its my teammates i do most the work

[cedar swift]

although be less broad tbh

[cedar swift]

work around them

[median crater]

im not sure how to explain it without you seeing what I do

[cedar swift]

putting it in #gameplay-highlights would help, dont you think?

[vital silo]

is there anyone diamond+ in EU, NAE or NAW, im tryna practice defense

but ill need a few mins bc uhh

100 gamers ahead of me..

[cedar swift]

no, u do a small tap of jump and once ur backwheels hit the ground u front flip (same thing for other directions of wavedashes, just different flips)

[azure oak]

I'm having troubles following the ball after getting my resets. I find the ball is almost always in an uncomfortable position after getting a reset, feeling like I'm too far under the ball to make good contact. If I do keep a good pace with the ball I feel like I'm hitting it with a pool noodle. Does this sound like an issue with my setup? Where I'm getting the reset on the ball?

[twilit sequoia]

i constantly accidentally set my opponents up infront of the goal and i consistently miss things that i shouldnt have, i solo queue twos and get around plat three and then i play super horrendously and rank down, any tips?

[cedar swift]

check #gameplay-highlights i left a lil something for ya (^_~)

[cedar swift]

one, warm up before playing ranked.
two, work on consistency (especially with mechs, rotations, and positioning)

[azure oak]

Thanks! How do you manage to get there off the wall? I feel so forced to put myself further back otherwise I fly way past the ball.

[cedar swift]

i had to find it, but its in there now

[cedar swift]

also tap brake just before jumping

[south crystal]

u followed the advice i gave u?

[worthy drum]

same

[flint plaza]

"accidentally setting up opponents" means you didn't have vision,
so you gotta rotate wide and position yourself behind the ball before hitting it so u don't get bad touches that set your opponents up
+
you gotta learn how to control the ball when it's free (watch ranny's ground control series)

for misses,
you are just not practicing the stuff you use ingame

[sour coyote]

Thought y’all might find this interesting, so I have 5k hours but my in-game time is 1k hours. Kinda interesting 80% of my time in the game is just practicing.

[radiant temple]

im d3 and having some trouble to realise when i should jump for the ball or just let it come down so i can control it. i also want to work on recovering.

[sour coyote]

@radiant temple so what I did to learn when to jump is to go watch your replay and pause it when you’re thinking about jumping for the ball. 1. Do I have enough space to catch with a soft touch and ground dribble? 2. Is either of the opponents pressuring the ball/ or already jumped for the ball? 3. What direction is the momentum of the ball? If the ball is going towards you then you are “closer” of the ball is going towards them then they are “closer”. Lmk if you have any questions

[oak oxide]

Nobody gonna think allat in the 2 seconds

[flint plaza]

different ppl enjoy different things

[sour coyote]

I guarantee an SSL would would think all that before the ball is even in the air

[oak oxide]

Anyways wanna check my theory?

[sour coyote]

Sure

[oak oxide]

Requirements: mechanical prowess, consistency, anticipation, efficiency, adaptability

Built for champ but with some tweaks it can work up to ssl

The theory begins with the closest player performing initial kickoff. For this player, quickly getting back to defend is crucial, because if the kickoff is lost, the opponents may attack almost immediately. Therefore, unless the kickoff is won, the first player should not challenge the opponents and instead go back post and cover the net.

If the kickoff is failed, the second player should follow the ball and disrupt/stall until the first player gets into a defensive position.

When both players are in defensive positions is when pressuring really comes into play. Both players defend in tandem, covering the goal in a rotating pattern, and soft challenging if the opponents hesitate until one of then attempts to take a shot. In an ideal case, the opponent is displaced from their rotation and one of our players can capitalize by pressuring into an offensive play as the 2nd player pushes forward to around midfield while also in a positon to 1) intercept an opponents save/redirect/clear and defend until the first player gets back into a defensive position,or 2) recieve a pass and go offensive as the first player rotates back and waits defensively.

This continues in a cycle until pressure on the opponents is lost. For example, teammate loses possesion of the ball. In this case the offending player immediately goes back to their net to defend. The second player should challenge, going for safe touches and 50/50s in midfield, while also looking to see if offensive play can be salvaged. If it can, the second player resumes the play and takes over for the first player. If it cant be resumed and the ball is headed towards our net, both players continue back and defend until the opponents make a mistake so the theory can start again from the beginning.

[flint plaza]

if you don't have to jump,
then u don't have to jump

[oak oxide]

Unrelated to my theory, I realized if your looking skyward at the ball and can't see the opponents... you probably shouldn't be there

[flint plaza]

true

[sour coyote]

The general concept I agree with, however in the case that the 1st man loses possession on offense forcing a 2v1, waiting till both players are in complete defensive positions is misleading

[flint plaza]

it's situational

imo

[oak oxide]

Not complete defensive. While the 1st man heads back the 2nd man will stall, disrupt the opponents until the net is safe.

Defense and pressure are the priorities

Of course I'm assuming it goes smoothly, it almost never will as is it now in anything higher than c2, probably

[sour coyote]

I agree with stalling but in the case that the 1st man recovers very quickly the 2nd man can contest the ball even if the net isn’t completed covered. What I mean by this is if the 1st man recovers to the middle line of boost and is across horizontally to the 2nd man defending then the 2nd man can fully commit to an offensive position.

[oak oxide]

Rl eventually becomes more fluid than by-the-book at that point

[oak oxide]

Yes, I will amend that

Although I'm not trying to work out every nuance, I am looking for counter arguments that test it

[sour coyote]

I think we both had the same things in mind but strictly by your definition, the 2nd man stall the ball into back corner until the 1st man recovers to back post. But by doing this it allows the opponents 2nd man to get better position and more boost

[oak oxide]

Not our back corner, in midfield

That way a "defensive position" is easily accessible

Under the assumption hat a player does not have to be at the net to save a possible shot

[sour coyote]

I think you could define defensive position better because a plat would probably assume differently

[flint plaza]

agree

and pressure

[oak oxide]

Well... I'm not plat, so...

[flint plaza]

u had to define both "defensive position"
and
"pressure"

[sour coyote]

All things not easily defined 😅

[flint plaza]

haha ye exactly

[oak oxide]

"Pressure" would be a constant threat to the enemy, in the form of shots and passes upfield

"Defensive position" is the positioning of oneself to be ready to protect the goal

Back post, far post, backboard (clear), the like.

[flint plaza]

to protect the goal against "pressure"
right?

[sour coyote]

I think the concept is applicable to mid to high champ players. Even though you can define those things it’s hard to know exactly how to actually do it to someone who doesn’t know how to pressure or how to be in a defensive position

[oak oxide]

Yes

[oak oxide]

That is who I built it for. Myself, champion 2.

[sour coyote]

Yeah I think it’s a good guide to play in champ

[oak oxide]

Getting teammates to apply to it will be tricky though

Or ill have to conform it to them

[flint plaza]

it sounds interesting ngl

[oak oxide]

An overly aggressive or overly passive player cna throw it off

[flint plaza]

to me at least

so you might get lucky and ppl will start applying it with u

[sour coyote]

What I would do it find someone who is really consistent at diamond mechanics. You don’t need to air dribble or do resets to be gc

[white sable]

reading this def seems interesting only thing I would say is that it is very idealized

[sour coyote]

What he explained in his theory is the thought process of people in gc and above

[sour coyote]

Yeah we talked about that, this works assuming that the players doing it know what the terms mean. Like I said earlier there is an idea of pressure and defensive position but how do you actually do it is very different

[flint plaza]

I think he is still looking for cases where this theory can't apply

[white sable]

yea i feel like it just assumes that you are either in offence or defence when in reality its way more in between

[sour coyote]

I kinda disagree, if you break it down every 50/50 is win or loss. Win=offense and loss=defense.

I try to think of offense as keep away and defense as “find the weakness”

[oak oxide]

There's more than one player on each team. Why not distribute the responsibilities?

Also, most aren't that fluid.

Honestly my brain works better with an on/off type method like this

[sour coyote]

@oak oxide if you’re up for it, I’d like to go over one of your replays

[oak oxide]

It's 4:00 am for me so not right now

[sour coyote]

No yeah let’s do Sunday

[oak oxide]

I told myself I wouldn't go to bed until I worked out this theory lol

[sour coyote]

It’s 2am for me

[tacit compass]

Guys I’m silver 3 should I practice speed flips?

[oak oxide]

Yes

[sour coyote]

I really like the theory but then you have to apply game sense which takes while to teach

[flint plaza]

you shouldn't but
it gives u an advantage

[oak oxide]

That's why I had the "requirements" bit

You know how some coaches refuse to coach people with less than a hundred hours?

That's why.

[sour coyote]

Work on shadow defense

[zealous lotus]

😭

[sour coyote]

I agree with that so much

I’ve coached 50+ people and I feel like I shouldn’t coach what a video could teach you

Like a video can’t look at your replay and point of speciality what you did wrong and teach good gamesense

[white sable]

i feel like a simpler breakdown is more just saying "first man challenge, second man defend", tbh when I play this is pre much what I think but its pre much a summarized version of what u saying as far as i understand

[oak oxide]

Yeah you can easily look up basic stuff but when it comes to plat and up and more complex things like gamesense a coach is sometimes the best option

[sour coyote]

I mean yeah but everything you need to get to champ 1 is on YouTube

Basic mechanics and rotations

[oak oxide]

My mechanics alone got me to d3, after that I had to start thinking lol

And that's where the trouble started

[flint plaza]

sometimes the video will be misunderstood tho,
maybe you (as a coach) will have a different way to explain the same concept and help more than the video
+
some ppl have stuff they are dealing with that 99% of players didn't come across
so a coach is necessary for that
(and not any regular coach)

[steep prairie]

Im a mid d2 can someone help

[oak oxide]

There is nothing new under the sun

[sour coyote]

@steep prairie yeah let’s test this

[steep prairie]

?

Dont tell me im gonna be a trst subject..

[sour coyote]

Ok Koko do you feel like you can consistently front flip flick?

[flint plaza]

lol

[steep prairie]

Yes.

[sour coyote]

Can you dribble the ball on top of your car for 1 min without dropping it

[flint plaza]

isn't that bad?

[oak oxide]

I can btw. Recently found out.

[steep prairie]

Hmm idk maybe like 40s

[oak oxide]

Without boost.

Small flex

[sour coyote]

Can you backwards dribble

[steep prairie]

Nope

[sour coyote]

Jkjk

[flint plaza]

i knew it

backwards dribble

😄

[sour coyote]

Can you arial normal from one goal to the other net? And do it again upside down?

[steep prairie]

Yeah

[sour coyote]

Explain a back post rotation

[oak oxide]

*in reverse/backwards

[steep prairie]

Back post rotation?

[flint plaza]

this is the most important part

[sour coyote]

Yes let’s say you lose possession and you are going back on defense

Explain a back post rotation

[steep prairie]

Uhmm so a back post rotation is when your moving around the back post trying to position your car i the perfect defense position?

Or no?

[oak oxide]

Is back post inside or outside the goal

[steep prairie]

Outside

[zealous lotus]

the opposite side of where the ball is outside of the net i think

[sour coyote]

Ok explain why being back post is better than sitting on the goal post closer to the ball?

[steep prairie]

Beacuse you have a better positon of reading the ball and getting an easy save of any shot

[sour coyote]

When you play first man are you trying to score or trying to pass and hit backboard?

[zealous lotus]

theres a vid abt it if u want deeper explanation

[steep prairie]

On first man id probably check my sorroundings(idk how to say it) and if i find my teammate clear id pass or shoot it to the backboard

[sour coyote]

Can you consistently speed flip?

[steep prairie]

Yes.

[sour coyote]

Can you play an entire match without getting a big boost. Aka have the small pad boost pattern memorized?

[oak oxide]

As a champ I expect my teammate to be somewhere backline if I don't see them when I flick my right stick to peek

[steep prairie]

Okay

[oak oxide]

For me, yes and no. I'd still take one out of habit if it's in my way or if I'm boost starving

[steep prairie]

Btw @oak oxide what is the 70/30 zond?

[steep prairie]

Yes.

[oak oxide]

Explain?

[steep prairie]

Yg

Yh

[flint plaza]

your tm8 can be clear, but passing can commit you both and give opponents a chance to counter,
so solo plays are better in some cases

[steep prairie]

Okay

[oak oxide]

People don't pass as often or anywhere near where they should

Should be fine

[steep prairie]

Ik but me and my teammate of a long time always just pass and score it

[flint plaza]

yes
but that's not easy to teach

I don't think there is a yt video for that

[oak oxide]

Fluump, hk boba, Mr napkin have vids on it

[flint plaza]

maybe you are doing it the right way
you can keep doing it

but once you find yourself conceding because of it
this is when you should immediately start thinking so u don't build bad habits

[steep prairie]

Okay

What should i work on tho?

Rn im doing backboard therapy

[sour coyote]

I think these are the possible reasons you aren’t ranking up.

[oak oxide]

Your mental. Can't hit cool shots if you doing it at the wrong time.

[sour coyote]

Ok

[flint plaza]

for fluuump,
which one explains when to and when not to pass?

(he have multiple vids)

[oak oxide]

Watch all of them, then. Do a little studying.

[sour coyote]

1.gamesense
2.gamesense
3.gamesense
4. Everything else

[steep prairie]

I just shoot normal shots nothing crazy

[oak oxide]

By "your mental" I meant "your mind"

[steep prairie]

K

[oak oxide]

Like "I gotta get something off my mental"

[steep prairie]

K

Didnt know what u meant mb

[flint plaza]

I can't find any by napkin

[sour coyote]

I would get a gc or an ssl to do a replay review

[oak oxide]

His "50 ways to make a pass"

[flint plaza]

alr ty

[oak oxide]

https://youtu.be/xdCc5iUXWZU?si=iNp9o6vdaQRewygD

[flint plaza]

for some reason I had to type it literally

didn't know yt search is that bad

[sour coyote]

I think another thing all players can work on is efficiency getting in and out of super sonic speeed

[oak oxide]

I thought thatw as something we learn automatically lol

[flint plaza]

true

[flint plaza]

I don't think so

I had to fix a looot of bad habits in that aspect

even pros can improve on that

[sour coyote]

You can break it down into a bunch of different things but it’s kinda hard to explain

[oak oxide]

Wavedash/speedflip/other flip to get into it, brake tap to get out of it

Knowing when to do it is a different matter

[flint plaza]

like getting to supersonic on 0/12/24... boost

[sour coyote]

What I’m practicing rn is side wave dash recovering though a pad pattern

[oak oxide]

Speedflip into a zap dash

[flint plaza]

not always viable,
sometimes opponent is going to shoot if u land

[sour coyote]

Also the ability to use open jumps is crucial

[oak oxide]

You don't really leave the ground for either of those mechanics, and I meant it as a joke (I've seen some pros use it to recover for some reason)

[flint plaza]

open jumps?

[steep prairie]

Back

[sour coyote]

Yeah for example if I’m jumping of the wall and I want to get the the ground faster you can air roll until your car to where the top is facing the ground and then you press jump

[flint plaza]

ahaa

[sour coyote]

It makes you faster in a lot of situations without using boost

Also it’s very useful to do fakes lol if you pop the ball you can jump in the air to fake an air dribble and then open jump back into the ground for a dribble/flick

[flint plaza]

ye I find myself doing that

it's better when opponent has full boost

[sour coyote]

Idk lots of mechanics that become good habits

[flint plaza]

than air dribbling all the way

[sour coyote]

I don’t think I’ve ever thought about that

[flint plaza]

bout what

[sour coyote]

Like changing what in gonna do because my opponent has full boost

Probably because in gc your opponents almost always have boost

[oak oxide]

Wall touch, open jump, pogo, reset, musty flick

[sour coyote]

Easy

[flint plaza]

whatch this replay analysis for more in depth tips about that topic
https://youtu.be/oyn8LPs-Y1w

[sour coyote]

I’ve figured out that it’s a lot easier to 180 flick for a double tap than do a musty

[flint plaza]

I think flakes has some too on his channel

[flint plaza]

depends on the setup ig

[oak oxide]

I wouldn't look at pros play. I'd look one or two ranks above my own to see common mistakes made that I could eliminate.

[flint plaza]

that's bad

[oak oxide]

Otherwise it's fun to watch

[flint plaza]

u can learn a looot from pros

that u can't learn from these ranks

[sour coyote]

I don’t think watching anyone above you play is useful unless someone can help breakdown why they’re doing what they’re doing

[flint plaza]

for example (extreme example),
you can't watch golds as a silver and learn how to recover after kickoff

[oak oxide]

That certainly is an extreme example

[flint plaza]

that's what aircharged gaming is doing in this replay analysis 😄

[oak oxide]

He got rw9 on the video?

Nope, yep, time to sleep

Gn

[flint plaza]

he is analysing his movement and comparing it to beastmode's (which is better than beastmode's)

[flint plaza]

gn 🙂

[flint plaza]

like here for example
https://youtu.be/oyn8LPs-Y1w?t=919

and here
https://youtu.be/oyn8LPs-Y1w?t=2066

[sour coyote]

So when I said that I was thinking like ok I’m 1st man with space in a 2v2

But the videos are very helpful

[flint plaza]

then check out flakes channel ig

[zenith minnow]

how do you make micro adjustments while tornado spinning? im tryna learn the aerial style and just keep missing since i cant make slight adjustments.

[fathom grotto]

Can you send me some replay files

[fathom grotto]

Install the custom workshops maps plugin on the bakkesMod website

[zealous lotus]

d1 atm i was champ i just forgot how to play the game!!

[gray silo]

u kbm right?

[zealous lotus]

yes

[fathom grotto]

Try turning your joystick completely over and over again and u should go straight once u het that u can use it to make micro adjustments

[prisma raptor]

ok

[cedar swift]

rotations, positioning (BACK POST), and master the fundamentals

[fathom grotto]

Should be somewhere in your games files

[fathom grotto]

Do rings maps

[manic leaf]

just spinning until i do the right input and hope i make it trough the rings?

[fathom grotto]

Try this but tell me if it isnt clear

Cuz it might be confusing

[zinc root]

well youer goal isnt to go through the rings, its to improve in directional, rings map have checkpoints so you can know your progress in direction air roll

[fringe robin]

free or nah?

[manic leaf]

yhe i get what you mean just turning around an around

[manic leaf]

nah I tryed

[manic badge]

He wants money bruh

[fringe robin]

Yea

[gleaming gulch]

Thank you 🙏🏽

I’m working on power shots and dribbling

[sturdy forge]

Consistency is key

[quaint lantern]

wdym by that

should i just play more?

[sturdy forge]

Like be consistent in everything j do be it aerials, shots, saves and if your solo q no harm in being a lil more focused on defense than offense

[quaint lantern]

ok what rank are u?

just wondering

[sturdy forge]

Last time I played gc2/3

[quaint lantern]

ok thats crazy

[sturdy forge]

Maybe but I've essentially quit the game

[quaint lantern]

oh wow

[robust rain]

Is it bad to air dibble without air roll

[quaint lantern]

no

[quaint lantern]

airoll is just accentional

[sturdy forge]

Nah u can throw in a lil for small adjustments but air roll is mostly aesthetics until ssl really

[robust rain]

I air roll with square free air roll is that good

[sturdy forge]

Ye that's good enough for micro adjustments needed

[radiant linden]

air roll adds uncertainty to your play, helps you control your car better to an extent, and helps you have better movement adjustments

[kind mantle]

I cant flip cancel cus idk how to. any tips for me? I'm on Kbm

[zealous lotus]

Do a backward flip and hold s

[zenith minnow]

Front flip than pull down to land on the nose of your car if u didn’t land on the front than that means you didn’t pull down fast enough

[zealous lotus]

oh wait

i said backwards i meant the like front

[strange plume]

Any tips on how to improve air dribbling? I’m on PlayStation

Dm for coaching, Diamond and below

[rose mulch]

what should i have down and be learning at d2 peak c1?!

[formal sky]

I think at c1 you should have the fundamentals down

fast aerials, backboard defence, power shots, flicks, bounce dribbles

maybe consider speedflips or a basic air dribble

basically you should be consistent at hitting the ball from various positions

[shell thorn]

game sense is huge

this is a good list of mechanics, but without mediocre knowledge of where to be and where to go, you'll be stuck here.

[formal sky]

yeah thats a good point

I ultra focused on mechanics

[shell thorn]

i am the polar opposite.

[frozen prawn]

So now we know what we need but how to get better at it?

[shell thorn]

which part?

[formal sky]

I used to be a "smart" player but many hours of free play air mechanics changed me into the average hardstuck "mechy" champ

c3 is elo hell you cant convince me otherwise

[drifting elm]

Elo hell is fabricated

[frozen prawn]

Over all car control in air or ground

[formal sky]

I reccomend wayton's aerial training packs

lethamyr rings

I did a lot of driving around trying to chase the ball and recover fast in free play

[shell thorn]

inferno said perfectly ^

[gray verge]

Anyone got field tips for improvement

[gray verge]

-what can I do to stop playing dumb

[formal sky]

idk if you fall in that category but a lot of players kind of go on autopilot and dont consciously think about whats going on

[gray verge]

Yeah could be me, sometimes i get a big ego and just try and spam random shots i guess

[formal sky]

what rank are you?

[gray verge]

c2

i think i got the mechs, im just missing out on the game smarts

often get told i dont use my brain so i just want to try and improve it

[cyan sage]

how do i rank up in 2s with just 1v2s

[gray verge]

priv matches

[drifting elm]

really depends on what you consider "Playing dumb" means to you. atleast to me

[gray verge]

or ball chase until ur tm leaves

[formal sky]

oh im 1350 mmr so pretty much in the same bucket haha

[gray verge]

well, like inferno said i feel like i may autopilot myself, but when i look at my game play the most i see and get told is positioning

[gray verge]

mid c3 is it?

[formal sky]

yeah

[drifting elm]

are you a 2s or 3s main

[gray verge]

2's

most round i get up to like 4 goals, maybe im too offensive

[cyan sage]

so basically 2 ball chasers so i lose my rank
perfect

[gray verge]

when my tm pisses me off i just annoy him so i can 2v1 and it usually works

[cyan sage]

my teammate doesnt make me mad just makes me wanna quit the game

[gray verge]

probs why im failing to rank up haha

[cyan sage]

so more annoyed

[formal sky]

what sort of stuff can you hit?

[gray verge]

you just have to be better if ur tm is stupid

[cyan sage]

yeah i was plat since season 1 and i just recently got out

[formal sky]

like what mechs have you got

[gray verge]

anything practicual

[drifting elm]

That could be it. Do you keep your replays?

[formal sky]

resets? dtaps?

[gray verge]

perfect control air dribbles, resets, double taps, ceiling shots

[gray verge]

yeah i make lots of replays, its my highlight games tho so i mainly look for my clean shots rather than analysing ngl

[formal sky]

alright fair

[orchid mauve]

Anyone got tips for perfect Ariels and Ariel saves

[gray verge]

yeah thats why i think i just have no brain when it coems to playing

cause I know i got decent mechs

[formal sky]

what region are you?

[gray verge]

OCE

[formal sky]

oh

[shell thorn]

aerial*, but use training packs for aerials in general, could implement some save packs as well. you can also go into freeplay and use the shoot feature to get save repetitions. just doing it over and over will help you, as long as you learn in a correct manner.

[formal sky]

I thought I could maybe play with you but nvm haha

[gray verge]

yeah this server has no oce people lol

what region r u?

[orchid mauve]

Tysm

[shell thorn]

no problem.

[cyan sage]

im d2 rn and still cant even keep the ball straight on my head for more then 2 seconds should i just quit

[formal sky]

eu

[gray verge]

it'll come to you by the time ur champ

[gray verge]

ohh ewww ping

haha no chance

[prime briar]

coach

[cyan sage]

ive been practicing for like 7 years

[prime briar]

nah

[gray verge]

me 2 bro, 2016

[prime briar]

fix your settings maybe

[gray verge]

it all only clicked when i hit champ, the speed of gameplay is great to learn how to dribble and learn mechs

[manic badge]

The speed of champ is alr

[drifting elm]

Keep most of your replays and review them alot. While watching the games ask yourself questions like:

What situation(s) did I struggle with, and how can I improve them.
What skills did I develop or improve during this game? How can I apply these to future games?
Were there any areas where I felt I fell short or made mistakes? How can I learn from it and improve?
And the best one of them all that you should ask yourself after every game even if your not reviewing is What did I enjoy the most of this particular game? What did I do that made me feel like I was having fun and kept me motivated.

[manic badge]

Champ is probably the rank that helps you the most with learning imo

[gray verge]

Not entirely fast, but you learn the best imo

[gray verge]

ye exactly

[manic badge]

Also watching from your tm8’s POV is also very beneficial

[cyan sage]

im getting destroyed by some silvers bro

[drifting elm]

Very true

[manic badge]

Like watch and see if you’ve cut them off or if they had a better angle of the ball etc

Or if your rotations are wacky or confusing

[gray verge]

Ohhh alright, thanks for that bro I appreciate the tips

[drifting elm]

Np bro

[gray verge]

often when I do that they only have bal lcam on not aware of me at all

[manic badge]

I wanna start coaching ngl

I’ve coached before and it was quite successful

[gray verge]

what rank are u

[manic badge]

C2 Div 2 rn

[gray verge]

what region

[manic badge]

OCE

[gray verge]

wanna 1v1 for fun

im bored as

[manic badge]

I js hopped off lol

[gray verge]

awee algalg

[manic badge]

What region are you

[gray verge]

oce aswell, c2

could be a nice 1v1

[manic badge]

We should run it some time

[gray verge]

yeah for sure

[manic badge]

Add me?

[gray verge]

epic? also i dropped from c2 lastnight mb

[manic badge]

Nah ur good

[gray verge]

LsOnly

[manic badge]

I hit C2 for the first time last night lol

[drifting elm]

I'm not too good at rocket league itself but I have been a coach and top ranked player in apex legends for years and the replay/VOD reviewing for most games are about the same type of formula and fundamental.

[gray verge]

my epic^

[manic badge]

Thor_OCE is my epic

[drifting elm]

Hell ya bro GOATED

[manic badge]

540 hours. Hit both C2 in 2’s and D3 in 1’s yesterday 💪

[gray verge]

we can hel;p eachother out and lmk what im doing wreong in the game 2

[manic badge]

Yeah I’m down

[drifting elm]

Damn bro your a genius

[gray verge]

yeah i always heard replays r good but i never myself sat and analysed

[manic badge]

More or less it’s speed, boost management, rotations and seeing if ur tm8 has a better angle on the ball for champs

[gray verge]

these people hitting c2 so easy, my hours are bad haha

[viscid olive]

how many hrs

[manic badge]

How many hours u got?

[cyan sage]

why do i get told 1s to rank up but when i play 1s all i wanna do is quit the game and go down in ranks by like 20+ divisions

[gray verge]

well im on steam so i think lobby hours count 2

[manic badge]

Idk I js progressed quickly because I’m generally a fast learner

[drifting elm]

Its worth it bro. Especially once you get to higher ranks the lobbies take longer to queue (League of Legends games are horrible) so I just watch my own (Not very practical but whatevs)

[gray verge]

but its 2.4k...

[zealous lotus]

1s are 10 times easier then 2s for me

[formal sky]

I dont think 1s are good for ranking up

[viscid olive]

u can check it in game

[manic badge]

Trust me, 1’s is a lot better for learning how you play and how to defend

[manic badge]

They are

[formal sky]

1s prevent you from doing any mechanic you arent 100% sure you can execute

[cyan sage]

defend what
every time i go to 1s i get worse and worse

[formal sky]

in 2s you can do risky stuff cause you have a teammate

[viscid olive]

how many hrs and what ranl

[gray verge]

28 days 4 hours

[drifting elm]

Bro 540 hours is goated bro keep going you will be SSL #1 in no time

[viscid olive]

damn ur c2

[gray verge]

this is tru, if u mess up its a goal

[manic badge]

C2 Div 2 in 2’s, D3 Div 1 in 1’s after 540 hours

[viscid olive]

im gold at 69 hrs

[gray verge]

yeah its kinda bad for those hours lol

[manic badge]

Xx

[viscid olive]

can u tell me what helped u rank up

[gray verge]

baby steps

[cyan sage]

basically twhat i got told is to play defense for 5 minutes

[manic badge]

@cyan sage It helps you with rotations, boost management, positioning, challenges, controlling the ball. All because you’re getting twice as much touches and have to be twice as alert or you’ll get scored on

[gray verge]

you need to know mechs to pla 1's otherwise ur just gonna be driving circles around the enemy

[viscid olive]

thor i need the hlp

what helped u ran k upp

[manic badge]

Tonne of YouTube ngl

[gray verge]

put 500 hours into the game and ur alg

[viscid olive]

hella nah am hitting plat at 100 hrs

or dimond

[gray verge]

plat is ez to get out of

[manic badge]

I hit D1 at 140 hours

[gray verge]

[drifting elm]

[gray verge]

ive been stuck in c2 for abt 200 hrs

[cyan sage]

i hit d1 at almost 3000 hours

[gray verge]

this is cooked

[manic badge]

I went from C1 to C2 in 40 hours

[viscid olive]

DAMN

[gray verge]

damn thats good as

[drifting elm]

Damn thats okay bro once you get out of that phase you will skyrocket! I believe in you

[gray verge]

it took me ages to get to c2 from c1

[manic badge]

Hoping to hit GC1 by around 900 hours

[gray verge]

appreciate it bro, I'm going to go watch some replays now n see how it goes

[manic badge]

I was asked if I was a Smurf by a GC3 yesterday lol

[viscid olive]

dam

[cyan sage]

how do people hit gc in less then 1000 but i got to plat 2 in like 50 hours and plat 3 took me 3000 hours

[manic badge]

He told me I must be atleast GC1

[gray verge]

when r u on next thor btw

[viscid olive]

i wanna reach that so thor am gonna learn flip resets now

[manic badge]

Motivation to learn and improve

[manic badge]

Nooo lol don’t

[gray verge]

nonono do not

[viscid olive]

im gonna hehe

no like fr i can air dribble

[manic badge]

Prolly won’t play ranked till tomorrow, will be on in like 30

[gray verge]

if you wanna stunt ur growth thats the perfect resolution

[cyan sage]

i try but im legit a clip bot

[gray verge]

aight added u

[viscid olive]

am in gold man

[manic badge]

Same ngl lol

[drifting elm]

That is lovely improvement! Just remember not to get stressed, Dont play too little games but dont play too much and take breaks after losses! It hurts more to play 10 games but only use your full brain capacity for 6 of them. (the numbers of games depend on a person)

[manic badge]

Hit a double flip reset in ranked the other day

[cyan sage]

im a diamond that cant even keep up in gold lobbies

[viscid olive]

sheesh

[manic badge]

@gray verge if you upload a replay to yt I can stream it and help u if you want

[gray verge]

i was learning flip resets and ceiling shots then and i'd say its the biggest roadblock if ur tryna rank up fast

[viscid olive]

send feet pics for proof

[manic badge]

Focus on speed and boost management

[viscid olive]

idrm i dont know what more to learn

[gray verge]

can you flick?

[manic badge]

For all you low ranks, it’s controversial but learn speedflips

[viscid olive]

i am not saying i know alot i am saying am learning alot so i want more to elarn u feel

[gray verge]

Alright noted, much love bro appreciate it

[drifting elm]

Thats bc ppl in gold dont know what their doing so you dont know what their doing either. Its easier when you have to predict a diamond (Someone in your rank) Than to predict someone who cant even comprehend what they are doing XD

[manic badge]

@gray verge

[drifting elm]

Much love to you too! Get yourself above and beyond I believe in you

[manic badge]

Yeah it’s weird I can easily 2v1 Diamond but struggle against golds

[cyan sage]

im like 50 - 75 divisions ahead of them i should be doing everything

[viscid olive]

dam

[gray verge]

i feel u, I also felt like that bro but if its all you can do its not good, when I was lower rank or even in my 1's games its the freest goals collecting the ball off people who can only do resets

[drifting elm]

xd

[gray verge]

idk abt uploading it to youtube, r u on pc?

[manic badge]

But yeah I’m broke so I wanna start coaching

[manic badge]

Phone, got a ps5

[gray verge]

o darn, was gonna say I could just send u the file

[manic badge]

Meaning I’d have to stream from my phone

[drifting elm]

Just join a Join-to-create VC and screenshare

[gray verge]

idk cbf uploading to youtube

[gray verge]

true, could play a live game and show thor maybe

[drifting elm]

That aswell

[cyan sage]

@gray verge if ssl's can beat diamond and they know fancy mechs i should learn fancy mechs and i can beat diamonds ez

[drifting elm]

No bro please dont I beg of you

[cyan sage]

to late bruh i hit a double flip reset earlier today

[gray verge]

yeah thats what i did personally so cant blame u, but il ltell u learning all my cool mechs was really not needed

[cyan sage]

Guys I'm level 13 headed for high silver or low gold how do I air dribble?

[drifting elm]

Watch some of Flakes videos he gets to SSL is 1's and 2's with no mechanics just fundamentals and that should teach you alot

[cyan sage]

game sense aint gonna work for me

[gray verge]

when i vs smurfs or better people i often notice i cant freestyle, you're best choice is to go for 50's and try to win the play

once u hit champ no one lets u go up the wall lol

[cyan sage]

dawg im in d2 rn

50s aint workin

[gray verge]

yeah bro learn air dribbles

i learnt air dribbles in diamond and they cnat defend it

[cyan sage]

man ive learned air dribbles in gold 1

[gray verge]

get godo control air dribbles if ur learning a mech

[drifting elm]

Imo with the rank you are at right now game sense and fundamentals should be the most you need to get to diamond. If you are struggling with getting to plat learn ground mechanics and some air but you dont need to air dribble until play high diamond to low champ. But its all up to you

[cyan sage]

and i havent hit one ever sence

[gray verge]

theres a difference between air dribbles and good control air dribbles, trust me

[cyan sage]

i got controled air dribbles 🗿🍷

[gray verge]

good control air dribbles got me out of diamond

[gray verge]

doubt it tbh, half my c2 lobbies can barely do it

[cyan sage]

Bruh can u coach me

[drifting elm]

are you pc?

[manic badge]

As someone who practised fancy mechs since silver, stick to flicks and ground plays and just simple aerials

[cyan sage]

im finna quit if im not maintaning d2 in solo q by next wek

[cyan sage]

yes

[drifting elm]

join a create VC and let me watch you bro I got u

[cyan sage]

how do i create vc

[gray verge]

[cyan sage]

oh nvm

[manic badge]

@raw elk lmk

[raw sky]

Should I change my controller deadzone it’s 0.25 but i play 2.55 sens for steering and aerial but I play ps5 controller

[viscid cipher]

that is really high deadzone, unless your a freestlyer change it

i play 10 sense 10 sens with onlky 30 deadzone

[raw sky]

Controller is kinda new

[viscid cipher]

no it doesnt rl is unplayable with drift and even at 25 it wouldnt matter anyway

[raw sky]

I’m so used to it though

Does it make me slower

[viscid cipher]

raising deadzone makes you slower

[raw sky]

Ya but I’m used to a higher cuz I’m more fundamental

I feel to touchy with loser

Lower not lower

Lower not loser

[spice rock]

what rank r u?

[raw sky]

C2

[spice rock]

oh

[raw sky]

Just lower deadzone feels touchy

What if I raised my aerial sens and kept my deadzone

Would that help

[spice rock]

depends

what’s ur sens

oh 2.55

ngl u play rlly high sens

but it’s wtvr ur comfortable with

[manic badge]
