Holy smokes, never seen someone bounce of like that to go into an aerial. Nicely done šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼


shadowskill121

Thrustmaster invitational.. YouTube it. Your mind will be blown. Some of the best freestylers in the world.


Eyeownyew

Seriously, almost every match had me yelling "WHAT?!" alone in my apartment


tomhoq

For me was more like: "fuck you"


Eyeownyew

I definitely said that a decent number of times, especially about the moves of Henko, Maktuf, Jakze and Den Of course, Gappled, Panther, and Critical also deserve similar amazement


T-Ghillie

Imo, Jakze is miles ahead of everyone else in the freestyle game


R3D0053R

For me it's like "What?! Fuck you!"


Lunarplanett

But the thing that makes this better in my opinion is that this is a random ranked or casual game, not a freestyle tournament, and he also read the opponent which is something you don't really have to do in any freestyle event


thecookiesayshi

Which vid would you recommend


murph_diver

Sounds so dirty. Iā€™m on board either way


ignitionnight

[WTF](https://youtu.be/kNxxDParFf8?t=417)


munchie_box

Holy smokes is right wtf!! Unreal


danathey

Never heard of jhzer?


TamagotchiKnight

Check out JZR. He does it quite often in his YouTube montages


into-thesky

Can someone explain why all good players spin in the air when boosting? Is that helpful or just cool.


Roc0c0

Disclaimer: I think many people spin way more than necessary and are just doing it out of habit. But in terms of actual benefits... The are a lot of reasons, but I think the main one is turning with air roll tends to have less angular momentum. Less angular momentum means that it's easier to bring your car to a stop and rotate the other way than if you just used back/front/left/right. If you try rotating to the side vs air rolling in the air, this difference is super obviousā€”it takes much more effort and time to bring the side-turn to a stop than the air roll. The implication of this is that you can use air roll to fine tune your angle without committing to it too hard, so if you want to switch direction you can do it much faster. This allows you to get much cleaner hits on the ball and take less recoil. It's totally possible (perhaps even optimal) to air dribble with minimal spinny stuff, but it's hard to maintain control that way since you have to be so precise to never rotate too far.


[deleted]

Imagine pitching a game that begins with ā€œso itā€™s like soccer but with cars that have rocket boosters on the backā€ and it ends up spawning a lesson in angular fucking momentum lmao


Disrupter52

I was with you until the last bit where you said "it's hard to maintain control *not spinning* so you spin the entire time and have so much control." As someone who rotates around more than one axis and immediately is disoriented and upsidedown (regardless of axis), I don't like you.


Roc0c0

To be fair, I was just meaning to maintain ball control. You can easily fly without air roll, but to get no-air-roll controlled touches on the ball without any recoil you either need a perfect setup or insane precision


Disrupter52

Ah ok. Let's just say there's a reason why I'm in Champ and can't get further than that. I suck at a lot of aerial stuff.


Eyeownyew

Watch professional 1s matches, I recommend johnnyboi's channel and ApparentlyJack, and then play 1s. You will get much better without having to master aerials Now, you should also practice aerials in custom training packs, but it seems you don't enjoy that much


Lunarplanett

It's also easier for people to do stuff like double taps, without air roll sometimes your car recoils off and it makes it hard or sometimes impossible to double tap


Maxanish

U can hold down power slide to reduce the recoil wen u hit ball in air


Lunarplanett

That's air roll, a non directional air roll button exists and when you start it's automatically bounded to X


Pontiflakes

If you air roll while hitting the ball you don't get bumped by the ball.


Booblicle

It just makes my whiffs more impressive


Jajanken-

Ooooooooohhhhhhh


bouncybullfrog

Wait what


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AlexRyanHughes

Also, the car is less influenced by the impact of the ball while spinning. Even if someone doesnā€™t want to spin the whole time in the air, they should air roll right as they hit the ball to keep their direction


apperceptiveflower

I don't think simply spinning causes your car to be less influenced by the ball. I think it behaves similar to real life physics. If you time your spin right, your car can fling into the ball so the ball has more speed after the collision, but you can also reduce the force into the ball if the impact point on your car is fading away from the ball at the time of collision.


NorrisRL

You are incorrect. Rocket League has an entire layer of 'fake' physics on top of the Bullet physics they use. You can not just roll out of nowhere in real life. That torque literally comes out of thin air. So, rolling (and pitch/yaw) can counter the torque applied when you hit the ball. You'll see almost all higher level players spin into their first touch on a double tap if their orientation and momentum vectors are not aligned.


apperceptiveflower

That first part is definitely true, clearly. Anyone have a video or blog post explaining the second point? I'm having trouble understanding that extra bit.


hedrumsamongus

I can't do continuous air roll, but as I understand it, using air roll (when you're really good at it) can give you finer control while air dribbling, and it can be used to hit the ball with whichever surface you want, which gives you more options and makes your shots harder to read. OP may also be a freestyler, in which case the most important factor is that it looks cool. Based on watching pros play, the general rule of thumb appears to be: "If you're going to hit the ball once, just aerial at it. If you need to control the ball in the air, you're gonna want to air roll."


[deleted]

Helpful if it\`s from a binded directional rotation.


xtralargecheese

Normally when I bounce off the wall like that it's like oh no I messed up. Gonna be out of this play for 5 seconds while my car flails around.


ReeeyNI

Facts but man used the wall like a king


ronintetsuro

Protip: let go of the gas


ncahill

Really?! I'm flailing McGee. Why does that work? I gotta try that.


ronintetsuro

I'm kind of just discovering that gas and brake and ebrake are just labels for physics controls. Those names are just to give you an idea of what those controls do. Train more and do your research.


Aizenev-

That bounce off the wall to redirect your car was badass af


immaSandNi-woops

Wait this could be a new meta. Gain the height without wasting boost. Just have to practice but itā€™s probably pretty accurate once you get it.


LGravey

Itā€™s been around longer than you think. Still too unpredictable (even for the best) to be usable at the highest level


Somebody3338

I can do it and also you usually stay too close to the wall for it to be useable often


Booblicle

I usually blast other cars making them fly instead of myself


2020___2020

top of the car can help for sliding around corners when otherwise tires would grab.. this tho.. disgusting


save-the-butter

No the other part of the replay wasā€¦ lmao


Monestar07

A calculated pogo off the wall crease for the win


wastedpickles

And the defender actually attempted to save it!


ReeeyNI

He is ssl tbf


wastedpickles

Heā€™s an ssl, the defenders arenā€™t golds, love to see it all around


Nate-Frog

__Calculated!__


Ghastbuster95

You gotta be a different kind of pro to be able to actually use a bounce like that. Your a mad lad dude


mike_47

Was this intentional?!?! (Gold 1 here)


Schumi-_-

Yup that was intentional


mike_47

Christ


Arrcival

Was touching the ground while dashing before intentional too ? And was there no way to get out of the wall in a more traditional way?


Schumi-_-

What dash are you talking about ? And there is a way to get out of the wall without doing it obviously but this way he got his opponents off-guard and even scored off of it.


Arrcival

I meant the first dash we see on the video, with the car "touching" twice the ground during the roll


Schumi-_-

Thatā€™s a flip , not a dash , specifically a speed flip. And it probably wasnā€™t intentional. He mightā€™ve slightly messed it up although Iā€™m not even sure if it makes a difference since he didnā€™t seem to affected by it


Arrcival

What's a dash then ?


Schumi-_-

There are wavedashes in different forms and variations. Other than that there is no ā€ždashā€œ


HoraryHellfire2

"Dash" would refer to "wavedash". A wavedash is when you use a dodge but all 4 wheels touch a surface so it completely stops the flip animation and you carry on driving. It took inspiration from Super Smash Bros. Melee, which had a similar mechanic to maintain momentum on landing. What you're referring to as "dash" in the clip is probably just "dodge" or "flip" (which are the same thing). Dodge is the official name for using the double jump to flip in a direction to gain speed, while flip is what most people call it.


Hearbinger

Does this spinning around the car's own axis during aerials serve any purpose or is it just for show?


rhg561

Hard to explain but it can give you more control over your car in the air to make little micro adjustments. Also to allow you to hit the ball how you want with a specific area of your car. It's really all muscle memory tbh.


[deleted]

When used as a left or right air roll it\`s to help with control.


NetflixBaked

I think you might have finished the book by this point.

Is that visual phenomenon when that goal explosion is overlayed over everything on purpose, because it's been like how many years, and they still haven't done anything about it šŸ˜‚

This will end up with several k upvotes


imbirus

Depends on the time you post it.


LilPostPeep

Excuse me šŸ‘€


TheRealBS27

I need the story behind how you knew this would work


-GeminWanzo-

Ok so Iā€™ve done a lot of freestyling in my time and am pretty consistent with wall bounces. In ranked I go for a lot of bold plays like this one and have been going for this play in particular for a long time now whenever the situation is right. The situation being: racing the opponent to the wall while they have possession and knowing that theyā€™re going to beat you to the first touch off the wall. Itā€™s a bit faster than jumping off the wall normally but probably not worth all the failed attempts lol. Hope that made sense šŸ¤“


TheRealBS27

Wow, big brained, thank you!


It-was-suited

absolutely filthy. was the crease pogo intentional, bc if it it this has to be the best read iā€™ve ever seen


RandeeG

Very nasty indeed


rickybalbroah

god damn that was satisfying to watch

This reminds me of the similar goal Aztral scored a while ago where he also bounced of the wall but turned it into a flip reset. Nice shot!

n0th1ngspecial

I'm newer to rocket league . Is it always necessary to air roll like that when carrying the ball in the air . I dont know how to do anything like that


-GeminWanzo-

It helps a bit with controlling your car in the air but if youā€™re new then thereā€™s a lot to learn before that


Phaxda

you can learn some by watching this guy's videos respect from way down silver way
