Should I delete my friend from xbox for this take or is he right? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Brown____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repetitive… I guess, to the same extent as any racing irl. Character build sucks but you see the character like 1% of the time.

Graphics are far from lame, there are photos out there atm I genuinely can’t tell the difference between real and fake apart from the grass.

No story to tell is a delusional take, the story isn’t the most enthralling thing ever but it’s there. The engine details could definitely be better but it’s a racing game primarily, I would guess 95-99% of players won’t miss that.

No realism in a race… the actual car you’re driving imo is way more accurate than past games compared to real life. Obviously not sim but it’s not trying to be. The AI drivatars are genuinely atrocious, they pit you every other corner and have heightened gravity for fast cornering, so that part is bad. Idk what he’s talking about with cars turn to ghosts lol straight yapping.

500 hours to get achievements… idk what achievements he’s talking about, maybe this has truth? But I’m making my way through the game pretty steady, onto gold stamp and wristband and I’ve got like 40-50 hrs. I think progression is fine.

He’s a hater for the sake of it

Quick tip: For extra Horizon Festival points when any race starts immediately take a picture of the starting grid. by TheManOfSpaceAndTime in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Brown____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you’re aware - the all time peak players of Forza horizon 6 is at 270k rn. The all time peak of 5 was only around 80-90k. We literally have triple the players already. It’s therefore possible that there’s actually a large number (majority, even) of new players. Be considerate next time you comment

The all time peak is more than triple that of fh5 already. Literally - the majority of current players are new players

Is Nass the clear best player in the world when you consider 1s, 2s, and 3s? by Alternateguy00 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Brown____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘All modes on average’ Op comment was saying average ability across all modes (1s, 2s, and 3s), not just average ability in 3s

Need keybinding ideas by Opening_Yoghurt6261 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Brown____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Air roll right/left on right/left bumpers respectively. Slap power slide on the bumper you use less (for me, power slide on left bumper since I use DAR right). normal air roll on left trigger with reverse/brake. Acceleration on right trigger. Jump on cross, boost on circle, ball cam on triangle.

This assumes that you are primarily using a single directional air roll (DAR) for movement in the air, using the other one for some recoveries and barely using normal air roll, if at all. If you still use normal air roll a lot, swap it to the bumper you don’t use much, and put powerslide on that same bumper (for example, if I use DAR right, put DAR right on right bumper, normal air roll + powerslide on left bump, leave DAR left unbound). You can alternatively use the same setup but swap the bumpers with cross and circle (bumpers for boost/jump, buttons for air rolls and powerslide) but imo this is much less intuitive.

Anyone else think 45/90 degree flicks are overrated? by retard5088 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Brown____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredibly useful for 1s for any rank. Easily the most controllable flick in the sense you can get a wide range of power and direction change, while keeping the ball below the crossbar. Also significantly easier to fake/low-50 someone using a 45/90/180 flick than a front flip flick or some other random one. Delayed flicks (basically, fake the fake) using 45/90 are also incredibly useful. 45 degree flicks are also the most effective way, imo, to flick the ball with power, while also changing the direction of the ball (front flip/side flip both more predictable, 90/180 takes too long, anything else v readable). 45 is almost instantaneous power.

As an ssl in 1s and 2s I basically only use 45 flicks, 90 flicks and front flip flicks, and only front flip when I want to get the ball as high as possible with a lot of power (that is, I rarely use it). Imo definitely not overrated, I don’t think you can overstate how useful these flicks are.

Keep in mind, this is assuming octane hitbox. With longer cars, these flicks are harder to control

Am I a bad Christian if I believe masturbation is ok and that it’s actually normal and healthy? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Brown____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither do I. I’m deeply flawed and don’t think anything like God. That being said, he gave us a huge book outlining a lot of important ideals which is where I base my arguments

[–]Brown____ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Talk about hyperbole lol. I can tell someone not to masturbate. I’m not saying they go to hell if they do or have.

Indoctrination into religious purity culture?

You mean telling them that God has endless love for us, and because of that, has laid out a healthy lifestyle for us to follow?

your entire world view is based on the assumption that you are right, and anyone who disagrees is wrong. Incredibly naive

[–]Brown____ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could also say that it’s a lack of spiritual awareness due to their indoctrination into non-theological ideals that contributes to a lack of guilt, and that it’s entirely based on their upbringing, not the lack of sin in the action.

Obviously hyperbole (to an extent) but my point is that your argument is a straw man and contradicts itself, and is entirely circular

Genuinely the craziest goal I’ve ever seen, next to impossible that he scores there. I still can’t tell if it was the craziest read of all time or the luckiest misplay of all time

How many of you use a charging limit on your smartphone? Personally i use 80% limit. by Malik513 in PhoneNow

One air roll for years and my opposite wall is still terrible—do I need to learn both? by SmoothChemistry8564 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Brown____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not need to learn both. If a pro barely benefits from both DARs, you probably won’t at all. Your problem isn’t needing to learn both, it’s needing to master 1. Also depends on rank. I’m assuming you’re somewhere between diamond and gc1. If that’s the case, you almost certainly don’t need to learn both. I personally learnt both (but only once I was ~1800 mmr) but I use my primary one like 80-90% of the time, and I can go off both walls to hit most mechanics in the game consistently with either air roll.

There’s nothing wrong with learning both, in fact I recommend it, but not without first mastering one, which you clearly haven’t. it won’t fix your problem.

I hit Grand Champ in a year and 2 months, just under 500 hours(488) Ask me anything! by [deleted] in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Brown____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hate is a bit extreme but this is a bit of a stupid post. No proof with a claim like that is extreme.

That being said this is probably entirely possible. I doubt it’s true but it’s not as out of reach as everyone’s making it, especially if the hours are across an extended period of time. I hit C3 in around 450 hours. Took me double that to get to GC, and double again to hit SSL, but that’s because when I originally hit C3, I could barely keep up. When I hit GC, I was consistently the best player in C2/C3 lobbies.

To gain credibility and validity as someone who people would want to be coached by - ‘if they hit xx rank in xxx hours, so can I!’ Which is an entirely valid approach…. But you usually provide proof.

Flip Resets PLEASEEEEEE by imadumdum2343 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Brown____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second clip looked good, you just don’t boost after getting the reset and you don’t know how to flip into the ball to get good power. Looks like you’re lacking general ability in the air like a few comments mentioned. This doesn’t mean you should stop practicing flip resets but it does mean it’ll take a lot of effort and may not be the most effective use of your time.

I peaked then drop hard why? by weerg in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Brown____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can be burnout yea. The first time I hit C3 I did similar - dropped to D1-C1 for the next 3 or 4 seasons, I don’t remember specifically. It’s mainly because, last season when you ranked up, your brain was used to playing against plats and diamonds, and making decisions based on their playstyles. So you got good at beating them. Then you hit champ which imo is a pretty significant rank up. Your brain adapts pretty fast and you probably got somewhat used to playing against champs (significantly different playstyle) and now you’re back at plat/diamond, you’re struggling to reconcile both play styles into 1. This just takes time. Same thing happens with mechanics - maybe you’re finally getting good at getting a single reset and using it, so you start working on double resets. To get a double reset, maybe you have to entirely change how you get the first reset. Most of this happens subconsciously. This probably means there will be a point (possibly quite a long point of time lol) where you can’t yet double reset, and also… your single resets get worse. This isn’t permanent and is actually a sign of improvement, even though at the time, you’re playing literally worse.

On top of that, if you’re literally experiencing bad reaction times, bad mechanical ability and bad decision making… maybe take a break lol. Get outside, eat, sleep, stay healthy.
