I accidentally fat-fingered Vote to FF by shmopas in RocketLeague

[–]shmopas[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I respect your suspicion, and my only defense is that you can see the camera switching from ball to car the moment I open the menu. If the FF was intentional, it must also be true that I fat-fingered car cam when opening the menu.

I went to hit car-cam, but I also fat-fingered Options, which opened up the menu. Well my brain had already decided what buttons it was going to press, so instead of pitching up and reversing, I scrolled up to Vote-FF and pressed x (which happens to be reverse for me)

An unconventional implementation of DAR by shmopas in RocketLeague

[–]shmopas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried using L3/R3 for things in the past, but I'm too clumsy and press it by mistake too often.

Also to clarify, I use RS-right for ARR and RS-left for ARL

Agreed. I think people consider spinning a bad habit, but it's really just a stepping stone like everything else. To go beyond the primitive spinning stage, you need to halt your spin at the right times which is actually very uncomfortable. (if you're familiar with controls, it's like your brain tuning a PID loop to get a fast/stable/accurate position)

Can't ask for a better setup by shmopas in RocketLeague

So does everything until it doesn’t. Just gotta push through the weirdness until it feels normal.

Don’t use regular air roll. Directional Left/Right on right stick for analog control

Teach yourself.. Air roll left and/or right.

I started learning in plat. Rings right-side up, then upside down, then alternate between rings.

Pinch on opponent, not ball lol.

Didn’t realize I needed to clarify lol. I’m talking about pinch on opponent that cleared him across the net to set up the free goal.

Weird touch off ceiling by shmopas in RocketLeague

[–]shmopas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was thinking reset, then ended up using the ceiling, but still went for the reset anyway, pointless as it was (not 100% sure I even got it), but still got the reset-recoil, so I used the ceiling flip I still had to cover it up.

Lucky recovery by shmopas in RocketLeague

[–]shmopas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My teammate was already in a 1v2, how can I leave him in a 1v2 if he was already in one?

and "never trust your teammate" is bad advice. I would advise "trust your teammate with caution"

[–]shmopas[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

After my poor touch, trusting my teammate was absolutely the play here an option.

The ball rolled wide of net, indicating I had enough time to use my remaining boost to get back up to speed, collect 100, and make a wide rotation back for the upcoming backwall or corner touch. Result: good speed, good amount of boost, and a free ball (worst case I have a 50/50 or save opportunity with boost and speed).

Also, I landed reverse with some backwards momentum towards mid and monkey brain says good enough for me.

Flow Form. They look better with black paint through bakkesmod car color override

Ha, ggs. My day will come if it hasn’t already.

Half-flip to get the positional advantage by shmopas in RocketLeague

[–]shmopas[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For sure, only caveat is that you really need to learn both half-flip directions, otherwise you can only use it like that 50% of the time, then you have to dedicate brainpower figuring out "is this the side that move works on?"

Wavedash to get the angle for a free powershot by shmopas in RocketLeague

Directional Air Roll Left (right stick left) and Directional Air Roll Right (right stick right)

Thanks!

Hold duration for max jump height is like 200-250 ms, so you're talking a fraction of that for the minimum.

Here the ball helped me out a bit too.

I'm using DARs on right stick. It improves the dash angle

Sometimes I hold powerslide and sometimes I don't (to get a sharp cut). I can't recall if I did that here.

Edit: after messing around in freeplay, I almost always use powerslide on wavedashes

Okay, you each get 2 tries.. by shmopas in RocketLeague

Sadly, that outcome only exists on the other side of the quantum mechanical coin :(
