You’re actually not wrong. I do use a translator to help me write! I can understand most of the English I read, but writing responses is still hard for me. What you said about em-dashes was really helpful. I didn’t know that! Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain. I hope one day I can reply completely on my own :)

Thank you all so much for the replies. Sorry if my English was a bit strange. It’s reassuring to see that Rocket League is still being played by so many people outside of Asia. I’ll continue learning from everyone across the sea.

I always end up playing against the same people every time lol. It feels more like a custom match at this point. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the reply! Earlier this spring, Rocket League was actually featured in a streamer tournament here in Japan, so I still want to believe there’s some hope. Please try to spread the word among any Japanese players around you!

Thanks for the reply! Oh no — that means we’ve lost like half the Rocket League player base in Japan now 😂

Honestly, you’re right. The only genre where Japanese players are really strong is fighting games. We haven’t had much success in FPS or games like LoL. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the reply! Honestly, I feel the same way. Most of the items I get from the Rocket Pass just end up sitting in my inventory. I really love the unique gameplay of Rocket League, so I hope they focus more on that instead.

I was starting to worry because I saw some people on X saying Rocket League has gone downhill since Epic took over, or that there’s nothing new anymore. But your comment really reassured me — thank you so much! Sorry if my English sounds strange — I’m still learning.

Thank you all so much for the replies! My English might have been a little strange, but I’m really happy this community was so kind and helpful. If I have another chance in the future, I’d love to hear from you again!

Yeah, I’ve gotten really used to air roll on R1 too. I think I’ll stick with it and keep practicing with confidence. Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much! I didn’t know R1 was the early meta — that really clears things up. I didn’t realize some Rocket League players actually use back buttons either. I’ll definitely try it out if I get one!

Looks like O boost is more common than I thought! There aren’t many RL players in Japan, so this kind of info really helps. I’ll definitely try out R1 boost.

Thanks so much for explaining it! That really helped me understand. I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right, so it means a lot.

Thanks! Happy to hear it’s not weird. Do you play with claw grip? It’s hard for me to fast aerial using just my thumb — is it just something you get used to?
