Freestyling is like the skateboarding of Rocket League. Everybody agrees it looks cool and secretly we all want to pretend like we're freestylers. But very few people actually know what they're doing when it comes to freestyling in Rocket League. Today we are going to break down top shortcuts and tricks for every freestyle shot in Rocket League. We are going to talk about the best advice to hit the 4 most popular freestyle shots in Rocket League. Those being number one the ceiling shot, number two the double-tap, number three the air dribble, and last but not least number four the flip reset.
Rocket League Freestyle Tutorial - How To Do Ceiling Shots, Double Taps, Air Dribble & Flip Resets?
The biggest shortcut to learning freestyling in Rocket League is to learn air roll. Understanding air roll is absolutely critical to freestyling in Rocket League. Since each freestyle shot does have some differences, ceiling shots you got to understand ceiling mechanics, double taps you need to be able to read the ball, flip resets you got to understand how to reset. But at the end of the day, they all stem from that same route which is right aerial car control. If you understand the foundation, the air roll adjustments, you know how to move your car in the direction, you want it to be in mid-air, then all of these mechanics are going to come way easier. The more aerial car control you have, the faster you're going to learn each of these shots.
Ceiling Shots - Rocket League Freestyle Tutorial
Ceiling shots are probably the easiest shot to learn in this Rocket League freestyling tutorial. The reason ceiling shots are the best to learn is because you don't actually need to have your car in the air for that much time. You can use the ceilings and the walls to keep your car in mid-air, even if you don't have the best aerial car control. But in terms of executing ceiling shots, the tip to learning how to hit them better is just to get a better setup. With a lot of the other shots, you can compensate for a bad setup, but ceiling shots are one of the only shots where if your setup is whacked it's going to destroy the rest of the shot. If you hit the ball up and it hits the ceiling it's just going to fall back down before you can even catch up to it. So what you want to do to hit ceiling shots more often is when you're setting it up, try to hit the ball as close to the ceiling as possible without hitting it. So you want the ball to fly up in the air hover right around the peak like it's grazing the ceiling and then fall down. If you do that, you're going to have the most amount of time to catch up to the ball and your ceiling shot is going to be the easiest to pull off.
How to practice ceiling shots?
Don't go into a training pack because training packs actually ruin the setup. The best way to learn you know how hard you need to hit the ball for these setups is to just practice it yourself. At the end of the day, you need to do it yourself to really get a feel for how powerful your touches are, which is another reason learning these ceiling shots is great to start out with. Because you'll make sure you get the setup down when you're trying to learn new shots later. So hop into free play and first things first practice just chipping the ball up and getting a good setup when it comes to the ceiling shot. If you have Bacchus mod, another shortcut you can use to practice the setup and this applies for all the shots we're going to talk about is to click upon your d-pad to put the ball on top of your car. This will allow you to just spawn the ball on the top of your car, using that d-pad, and then drive it up the wall to get tons of repetitions very quickly. It's the most efficient way to learn the shot.
Double Taps - Rocket League Freestyling Tutorial
Two main tips to hopefully help you improve this mechanic. Unlike ceiling shots, double taps are where aerial car control starts to come into play, because based on where the ball is going, based on what your read on the ball is you're generally going to have to adjust your car a little bit either to the left or to the right to make sure that you can follow through with the double-tap.
1. The biggest tip for double taps is to make sure you aim your first shot. The most common way people mess up a double-tap is just making that first touch randomly and then hoping to correct for it after you get that backboard read to somehow hit a nutty angle and score the shot. But the truth is if you want to hit double taps more consistently, you want to be aiming your first shot to give you the widest angle or in other words, the easiest second touch to complete the double-tap. So if you're setting up a double tap from the right side wall, generally your target should be somewhere above and to the right of that top right goal post. Because then when you follow the ball off the back when you get that read, you're going to have a very wide angle to complete the double.
2. If you try to go for a double-tap normally without holding down the air roll. When you make that first touch with the ball, your car is going to experience a sort of knockback from that collision with the ball. For some weird reason in Rocket League, if you hold down air roll while you connect with the ball, it actually reduces the amount of knockback your car takes. If you're spinning using air roll left and you collide with the ball, that spin is going to prevent your car from taking as much knockback. But the cool thing is if you make contact with the ball, mid-air and you're just holding down neutral air roll. You're not even aerial lifting or arrow riding, you're literally just holding down the air roll without spinning. You're still going to reduce the amount of knockback your car takes. If you're ever doing a ground to double touch if you're ever doing a ground to air dribble or really just trying to make contact with the ball in the air. But you don't want your car to spin out, try holding down the arrow and see if that reduces your knockback. It's a super cool tip that is definitely going to help with your double taps.
Air Dribbles - Rocket League Freestyling Guide
When it comes to air dribbles and flip resets, you can't really accidentally air dribble right or at least accidentally air dribble well. When it comes to air dribbling with every air dribble, try to aim to hit the ball over the net. The reason this is so good is that it's really easy to let a ball fall mid-air. It's really easy to be overshooting the net and just kind of slow down and drop it into the net. Whereas it's much harder to take a ball that's going to come up short and somehow try to lift it up to score its upper half of the net. So to actually do this, when you're setting up air dribbles, try to hit the ball in the fourth quadrant for as long as you can. If you hit the ball at this bottom part in the fourth quadrant, you're going to carry it for much longer than you would. If you hit the ball in the second or third quadrant and you're going to maintain control of your carry way longer which overall is just going to lead to a much more potent air dribble.
Flip Resets - Rocket League Freestyle Tips
What is the secret to flip resetting in Rocket League? When it comes to flip resets, the first tip to kind of shortcutting flip resets is you want to make sure you are actively seeking out the flip reset. The most common error when people go for flip resets is flying up to the ball and expecting the ball to land on you to get the flip reset. If you try to flip reset this way, your resets are going to be super inconsistent and whether or not, you get a good reset or a good bounce is basically going to come down to chance. A lot of the time, you're just not going to get the reset. Because you won't have enough momentum pressing down on your wheels to trigger that response from the game client.
What you should be trying to do, the most important thing when it comes to flip resets, is you want to actually seek out the reset using the slap method. Instead of flying under the ball and letting it fall on you, you want to fly at the ball as fast as you can, and then at the last second, pull down on your joystick to slap your car into the ball and trigger a reset. If you can do this properly, you'll find that your resets are so much more consistent and you'll have fewer of those moments where you think you got a reset, but the game just never gave it to you. If you can put these two tips together, catch the ball in the upswing and use that slap method to get the reset, you're going to hit flip resets way more often than you were before.
