Double post and all but

u-uhm

Seriously, anyone able to come to a consensus on a good control scheme for wall aerial? I've done lb as air roll, people straight up tell me it's bad, then I switch to boost on rb like they say and put air roll on X, then they say it again the other way
:x

I tried different things, but default is too ingrained.

Yeah but default is actually a ton harder for wall aerial compared to either of the choices :x

Best community ever. Lol

Dammit Sony cert.

Wall stuff throws me off so much. flips and rolls are not how they are on the ground. so often I try to flip off a wall and I just flounder up there and the ball sails by.


I'm almost to Silver 3, so I'm fine waiting. I'm still undecided about striving for Gold lol

I can flip and roll, but the second I have to take off, I hit a mental lock and I'm like 'aaaa what do I do'

I can't even get past the launch off physics to try and aerial.

Hmm

Go into training and try to learn there- that's what I did. Once I got basic movements and hits down, I did endless matches to refine it >_<

Video featuring the new maps

The fuck is with the narrator being so negative about new maps?

Who gives a shit that they're "splitting the base" by giving more arenas besides the standard old soccer field? I love RL, but I want more and different arena layouts to play around with and have fun as I'm a bit tired of the standard arena now.

i think you answered your own question. she obviously disagrees with you

 

[Soulflarz]

Tbh I feel like saying season 2 is splitting the base is the same as asking the base game to die to your average gamer from lack of updates.
This isn't a map pack where you get kicked like an FPS game, we all have these maps. The only real change is you have to learn more stuff, which I guess some hate.

3 vs 3 Pro level bots (both teams) love to smack the ball into the walls (as they are designed to hit everything sideways) so going against them is great practice for wall hits if you want more of a game experience when practicing. Pretty much any time the ball is in the corner there is a pretty good chancee it will be cleared up along the sidewalls. All-Star bots on the other hand rarely do this as (almost) every touch is designed to be a shot on your net.

Playing hockey (anticipation / timing) and pro bot games (having to hit the ball instead of the sticky puck) improved my wall game a ton. Also try adding slo-mo in practice or vs the pro bots to make sure you have the mechanics of wall hits down.

 

[Soulflarz]

I don't really like hockey for wall hits, since the puck always sticks to the wall. You don't learn proper angles/how to wall aerial.

The first preview in the history of games journalism that is not just a big ad for the game/content is a GOOD thing. It's valid opinions from people who otherwise adore Rocket League.

One of the downsides of cross-play

That's definitely not a bad thing that per say, but I just think her reasoning (or her lack of reasoning) makes her opinions stick out like a sore thumb in the video. Splitting the playerbase seems like a very weak argument when the maps are free and when the true playlist split is ranked and unranked. Adding some new maps is great for longevity and getting more people back playing the game and they can keep the new maps on unranked which won't affect the people that are competitive and only play ranked anyway.

 

[CountAntonius]

Gaf server when new update is out anyone?
