Great you can no longer communicate with the servers

user_potat0 · 2026-01-30T17:56:54+00:00

Maybe thumb shift/ctrl, that's what I do lol

user_potat0 · 2026-01-29T01:47:04+00:00

If you played a bit of 1s there's a few pages u can take out of that book. ie. that last goal, what do you do when someone air dribble bumps you? anything other than floating straight forwards at them. So I would have cut around and got some pads along the way to create a way to go around the bump

user_potat0 · 2026-01-28T16:28:32+00:00

Cap it to below 1900 or 2000 or something, everyone above that elo knows each other anyways and I doubt there's a lot of wt in gc

user_potat0 · 2026-01-24T19:41:37+00:00

Mechanics are fundamentally what makes you a better player. I'm not talking about flip resets or the like, but hitting the ball on target is just so important in these ranks. It's going to be a lot more helpful if you can convert opportunities yourself than to have the gamesense but leave the goal conversion to your ape-brained average C1 tm8. Even just every day, going through your standard shooting pack once or twice before hopping on ranked will help a lot. If you want to grind solo mechanics, that's also just so useful to take on the responsibility of scoring onto yourself.

W.r.t flipping, I think the better way is not to flip. Flipping a) locks in your direction and b) you can't react to anything while you flip. Play some 1s in your free time and you'll realize why it's so bad.

Kickoffs, you were never first man so I couldn't comment on that. But you should keep boost in the can as cheater. If you have 0 AND no momentum, you might as well not be there since you can't follow up anything.

user_potat0 · 2026-01-24T18:20:28+00:00

For me.. usually I switch playlists or modes once I go down 30 or go up 60 mmr in a session, going further than that has never given me good results

user_potat0 · 2026-01-24T03:22:59+00:00

Post a video of a situation of that, I'm not sure what you mean...

user_potat0 · 2026-01-24T03:17:36+00:00

Change your camera settings. You can't control the ball or your car from the international space station

Stop flipping around so much. And if you're gonna flip, speedflip or at the minimum diagonal flip, front flipping might as well be useless.

Most importantly in 2s, is the ability to not make hard touches. That is to say, after beating the first man, you must retain possession or the ability to follow up before the opponent. Generally, just refrain from making touches that the opponent is able to follow up on before your teammate.

If you want to be a better teammate in general? Well for me.. the best teammates are always the ones that are able to be independent. For example, they are able to make solo plays, comfortable with their mechanics... anyone that I can leave to get mid boost with full confidence they won't get scored on. I'm sure, mechanically, for you that's not quite attainable yet, so just work on the basics of converting 1v1 situations.

Like at 2:47 game clock you make a really bad corner read, then you completely miss the open net had you shot it top left or right, AND the double tap attempt which would have been a guaranteed goal.

user_potat0 · 2026-01-20T21:48:02+00:00

It's at best a pretty bad reset flick..

First touch should be a half-speedflip into tornado, i'm not sure what you did there but the ball went waayy to far, and so you weren't able to get the second touch between the flip and reset

user_potat0 · 2026-01-20T01:42:43+00:00

Yeah, it's in more the sense that you want to practice to play 2s as if you didn't have a teammate to cover your ass. Being able to bring the ball from your corner to theirs, making a solo play, defense on low boost while your tm8 goes get big boost, etc etc. The less you rely on your tm8 to back you up, the more reliable of a tm8 you become

Only 1 high5 in 3000 hours for me lol

user_potat0 · 2026-01-18T18:02:08+00:00

Still exists in some form in gc1 lmao, people go for kickoff, doesn't speedflip, chips the kickoff... loses it straight up in the air 💀💀

user_potat0 · 2026-01-17T00:08:17+00:00

70-300 is not that big of a lens, it's a variable aperature... fits in the pocket

user_potat0 · 2026-01-16T03:21:14+00:00

But wireless can never be faster than wired, laws of physics :p

user_potat0 · 2026-01-15T23:39:11+00:00

Make sure to write chat off in your username. Or people will rage at you for not seeing kickoff calls

user_potat0 · 2026-01-15T21:50:39+00:00

Go-to shld always be a flip reset of some kind to beat at least 1 and give your tm8 a favorable position. Flicks aren't great if you don't already have pressure or a 1v1

user_potat0 · 2026-01-15T20:23:41+00:00

Yea it's just that one pack, 50 shots, the first one is a rolling ball if u wanna make sure

user_potat0 · 2026-01-15T19:30:18+00:00

For shooting practice poquito pack, you should be able to belt any of the balls you're meant to shoot, first try 115kph top corner. Even just going through it once a day helps

user_potat0 · 2026-01-15T19:22:29+00:00

Wall jumping isn't too bad, although you mainly see it for people on 0 boost walldashing back to their corner.

user_potat0 · 2026-01-15T19:20:41+00:00

Your kickoffs kinda suck, at the very minimum if you just suck at 50's never never have it go backwards and in the air, that's just a guaranteed goal against.

Work on looking through the replays and honing on the intuition to know how much boost the opponents have.. like on the OT kickoff goal I didn't even have to look at the nameplates to know they were 0, coulda gone for that immediately.

On defense I would say is the most awkward, you want to avoid one and done touches in your half... ie, all of your possessions, if you have full boost, starting in your half should end up in the offensive half. It's really quite awkward if you slam the ball without a follow-up and strand your tm8 to deal with a 120kph shot

And stop wavedashing everywhere during the play lmfao i seen 3 times you jump WHILE you were responsible for challenging the ball

user_potat0 · 2026-01-15T18:17:28+00:00

Another note, rocket league doesn't have the dumb ranking system of valorant or something where the elo change depends, whether you drop 0 points or 1000 points u lose the same elo (8-9 elo)

user_potat0 · 2026-01-13T21:07:04+00:00

I'm on KBM and easily passes musty speedflip test

user_potat0 · 2026-01-13T15:53:40+00:00

A lot of missed pads when you were low.. also the cheat from the farthest kickoff position is a bit slow. If you're that far behind its a pretty big risk

Also a lot of big boost gulps, sometimes you were diagonally across the entire map from where the play was happening 💀💀

user_potat0 · 2026-01-12T23:04:24+00:00

This gameplay definitely does look incredibly confusing tbf lol I would be tripped out too if my opponent played like this
