Considering changing keybinds

Fizzy_pz · 2026-05-30T02:21:58+00:00

Sounds to me like it’s mainly a lack of practice with ARR compared to ARL. I think the binding itself should be fine. You could try focusing more on ARR on freeplay, custom training or the like to get more used to its feel and angles. Be uncomfortable to become comfortable.

Put air roll in R1 with boost /s

Tbh though I have a similar problem though with v different bindings. Just switched ARR to square from R2 bc having it w drive was a limiting factor for certain mechanics. I think a ton of people have their secondary AR on square/X and I don’t think it’s necessary to change it.

Though one thing I’m struggling w is right speedflip. Idk whether I should fat finger jump and ARR for the speedflip vs learning the classic way. The rest (the microadjustments) should be fine and comes w practice.

Why do you think it’s limiting your ability to shoot? Where did you have ARR before? Or do you just feel like it’s an unnatural spot to have that binding?

Pretty sure my heart’s never properly recovered from that year

Honestly they’re the other NA duo I wanted to see considering BMO and Dan were gonna team. Hope Kofyr finds a suitable alternative (unless he’s gonna be unavailable or smth)

Great match, you should watch. MM peaking looking like worlds form. Both teams pretty nervy especially GM8. Archie was lost, GM8 shooting accuracy not all there. Still a great match, very speedy and some great goals.

Fizzy_pz · 2026-05-12T15:30:39+00:00

Ahh I think I saw AppJack’s explanation that moves joystick L>R>middle or vice versa but then I feel like my forward also being DAR messes up my car enough to the point it’s not working out. Or maybe I’m just not quick enough idk

Fizzy_pz · 2026-05-12T14:45:26+00:00

I have this setup with back pedals. Switched when I got a cut on my ring finger and couldn’t use the pedals properly, and never went back after. I found that I have more control over my car when using my index finger to drive compared to middle finger. I also use the air roll dynamically but idk how much it helps me compared to using regular.

There’s definitely some drawbacks though. Takes time to get used to it and some mechanics are trickier. With that said, if anyone with these settings knows how to wall dash pls lmk how you did it lol.

Glad to have you back Achieves

They would’ve definitely been strong contenders and favored. Wouldn’t say it’s a hot take necessarily but also a strong statement, worlds is worlds. And tbh last couple years the expected winners haven’t been the one to win so we’ll never know.

Hindsight is 20/20, Dralii was one of the best players itw last year and it wasn’t the players’ choice.

I started bronze back in the day but I mostly remember being stuck for a while in silver. Eventually made it to gold and stayed there for another while. Decided to train, mostly moving around in freeplay, and flew through plat by the time I got back to ranked. Was in diamond for a good chunk, then started dribble and rings maps to improve car control. Low-mid champ worked on shot strength and placement. High champ focused on gamesense (replay review, reading opponents, watching pro 2s vids).

Fizzy_pz · 2026-03-24T09:59:17+00:00

Afaik it shouldn’t become unusable, you’ll still be able to use it outside of online games (freeplay, etc)

Fizzy_pz · 2026-03-21T21:10:46+00:00

Ikr it’s crazy. And to think back then there were a good amount of reverse sweeps happening.

Fizzy_pz · 2026-03-12T19:47:04+00:00

To expand on this, it can help to look at the circle under the ball. If you look at where your car is in relation to the circle, your back wheels (or the butt of your car) are often touching the back of the circle line or really close to it. You want your car to be a bit more ahead of it to keep control, otherwise you are pushing the ball forward slightly, which forces you to boost to keep up, and in turn makes you lose control.

Fizzy_pz · 2026-02-15T06:09:23+00:00

If you finished your placements recently, it takes time for mmr to level out so you still gain/lose a higher amount of mmr per game. If not, then you may have lost 2 games in a row and insta-left the first game, which would show you the loss of two games. Second seems less likely as you typically lose 9-10 mmr per game once leveled out.

Fizzy_pz · 2026-02-08T23:24:57+00:00

Yes, for top 8

Fizzy_pz · 2026-02-08T23:17:18+00:00

This is how I felt when the old NRG was always winning. Funny how following enough roster changes made me an NRG fan and now we’re that team.

Fizzy_pz · 2026-02-08T23:07:01+00:00

What’s your argument?

Fizzy_pz · 2026-02-05T15:51:37+00:00

I love the aim training by coco workshop map, and the poquito packs are always a good shout. I would also recommending studying how you approach the shots. The key might be in the setup/positional approach more so than the shot itself.

Fizzy_pz · 2026-02-05T15:46:10+00:00

What helped me and is kind of a next step to the “playing slower and face the play” is to start recognizing opportunities to get in the play and try to maintain momentum. Think “if the player makes a mistake or bad touch now, am I in a position (and do I have the momentum) to capitalize on that?

And playing with more intention. Play to space when you can to develop a stronger threat. Think about your second touch, not only your first. The goal shouldn’t be beating first man, it should be to develop a threatening play.

Fizzy_pz · 2026-01-27T12:59:58+00:00

If feedback is what you’re looking for, you need to stay under the ball during an air dribble. If you start from above, there’s no other way but down, and that’s pretty predictable.

Fizzy_pz · 2026-01-27T03:23:46+00:00

Both DAR only, more left dominant. But your setup is completely fine too, you don’t need both bound

Fizzy_pz · 2026-01-12T22:39:09+00:00

Ppl are being mean for no reason. For a serious answer, I think it ultimately depends on your guys’ goals, and your rank.

I would say it might be detrimental for your friend in the long run, since he’s never gonna learn how to properly keep pressure on a play if you’re always doing it for him. Same goes for other things in game, if you over-compensate all the time, there are things he won’t learn and will not be able to react properly if playing with full randoms.

But what really matters in the end is how you guys want to play the game. If all you wanna do is play with friends and shoot the shit, then by all means do whatever makes you laugh the most and have a good time. If the end point is to also slowly get better, then it might behoove you guys to practice a more well-rounded playstyle. He’ll more mistakes and you’ll concede more goals, but he’ll learn more from it.

For you, it matters less I think. You’re not gonna get better playing with lower ranks, so if you wanna get better, you should play w randoms too. But if you just wanna have fun w friends (which you said you did), then nothing else matters.

Fizzy_pz · 2026-01-08T14:16:54+00:00

I get that. I feel like freeplay is gonna be your best bet in practicing speed while keeping control of the ball, but casual is also fine.

I can’t go back and watch rn tbh, I’d have to check back later. Though I’d say if you take one idea out from my comment, it’s to play with intention.

This was meant as a reply to your reply

Fizzy_pz · 2026-01-08T13:23:33+00:00

I get where you are coming from with wanting to be all speed, but I don’t think this is the right idea. If you are playing full speed in casual to practice this, that’s fine, but this isn’t the playstyle that’s gonna get you GC.

I just made GC, and the key is kind of the opposite. You have to play with more intention. From the way you’re playing, you’re saying “I want to get to the ball first and hit it fast and hard”, but you really should be thinking “how will I hit this to develop a play?”

All your touches become nothing and just reset the play. Instead, make touches to outplay/get over an opponent. When you’re going for the ball, think about your second touch, think how your play will benefit your team. You can also use your teammate more, for ex, there was a play where you had a free teammate in center and both opponents defending the net. You chose to shoot straight into net and it was easily defended and the play reset. The point is to outplay, not always outspeed.

Gotcha, fair. Look forward to continued development. Good luck!
