So, i have 2700+ hours.. honestly, didn't realize how many mechanics were in this game...I decided to start looking in the rabbit hole of possibilities and it's been quite overwhelming. Watching tutorials, RE-watching tutorials, not understanding, RE-watching tutorials, finding new ones and NOTHING was working. Something wasn't clicking with the air rolls.. the control.. the joystick movement.. I'm not quite sure why it took so long to click, so many failed attempts. HOURS of trying to get it. Maybe I'm slow ?? I know my grammar is terrible, but do I not pick up on things well ? either way.. the way YOU explained it. the way YOU broke it down. FLAWLESS and makes me very upset that this doesn't have another 975,000 views. at least. Clearly others were able to pick up on things easily (not being as young as some of these folks) who may be able to even just learn visually without instruction. There's just something with the way you explained things where it clicked. the feeling was incredible when I realized it wasn't a fluke that I actually connected 3 times air rolling, tornado spinning and finishing it off with a quick plan for a double tap. Watched my replay 30 times and now I'm almost getting consistent. BEFORE I end this absolute worship to your teaching skills.. I gotta say man. 2700 hours, zero progress in the air. Maybe a max of 5 hours of free play and customs with your tutorials and everything is starting to make sense. the game is actually fun again, point is. Thanks man. you really made this game worth playing for me. I was ready to give up. Thanks for breaking things down for this old fart. (P.S i subbed at your highest level). Can't thank you enough. Keep it real bro, i can feel it. those subs gonna start BOOMIN soon
I’m speechless! Thank you so much!! These types of comments really drive me and trust me, I’m going hard with more tutorials this year. I’m fresh off the holiday break and I want to take all the hardest parts of this game and show that anyone can do them with the RIGHT training and practice. I look forward to having you around and here’s to a new year grinding that car soccer!
Good man. It's nice to follow along to tutorials where when I have a question to something your teaching, then you proceed to explain why you have explained something a specific way. Oddly enough all questions I had. You answered in this video without me having to reach out. 10/10 and I will be following along for the rest :)
@@MatCAD- I think I'm around 1500 hours of play time and I found myself in the exact same situation. Not knowing how to practice, I've been thinking that my controls are not bound properly, or that maybe I simply don't understand the interaction between the analog stick and air roll. I haven't tried this tutorial/method yet but simply watching the video and listening to the explanations gave me a huge incentive to try again this time in an organized way (as explained in the video) and I cannot wait to see for myself it this helped. I found out your channel 15 minutes ago thanks to the mawkzy flick tutorial video and honestly I think I'm gonna watch every single video you posted because your explanations are super clear and you make it look not easy but at least "do-able".
Little edit to add another thought that came to mind while reading other comments: I didn't even realize the fact that you should boost to follow the direction you want to follow and I was training while holding boost throughout the movement which obviously doesn't make much sense... These days I was just training flying around the map with my car turned 180º (seeing the bottom of the car) to get used to "reverse" controls, and I felt like I was getting nowhere with that....
@@StahliCell Yep. It's all about micro adjustments while you're first learning. Getting the feel for when to turn and boost as you learn how to steer. I hope you're making the progress you want!
By far the best explanation I’ve found on this.
Glad it was helpful! Stoked to see you play RL lol
@@Grifflicious i still dont get it. I dont know what point i need to adjust at. Whenever i try my car just spins out and goes to the ground
@@toadgt9589 join the discord! There’s a link in my channel banner. We can talk! Just dm me and I’ll be happy to help you.
I have spent 5 minutes in free play doing this, and am already seeing improvement and feeling the connections in my brain start to work. Insane explanation thank you so much.
Maybe I’m just slow but I still can’t seem to understand it 😓
The hardest part is trying to go around the pillars map because I just end up falling to the ground or I can move in the same direcrion
@@Itz_Brazehow’s the progress
@@rgliquifyy3840 I haven’t really been practicing it in the pillars map, but I can say I’m a bit better at directing my shots in the air
@@Itz_Braze Good good good , it’s my first day learning this : watching this
been 2 hours, my brain connections appear to be broken
edit: LOL it clicked 5 minutes after, i used to look at my car's rear everytime, so controlling the boost direction was harder for me, as soon as i started looking at the car's front, the direction changes were immediate to understand
As a long time player who's hit SSL and used directional air roll for about 4 years, this video was an excellent break down. Another great tip for the rings maps is when you get comfortable and you're focusing on speed, pay attention to where your nose is pointing. Once you're on track to pass through one ring, be looking ahead and get ready to point your nose towards the center of the next ring. This is where directional air roll shines, because once you've mastered it it is much easier to pitch your nose up and down while maintaining speed as opposed to trying to do the same with free air roll.
Yup im trying to learn it now and I'm hyper focusing on my nose. Focused on the way the Des-left+stick-downright, Des-left+stick-right, Des-left+stick-upright. Its feeling really good thanks for your contribution.
Do you think you could look at my gameplay and help me it's just not clicking for me. I'm currently c3 but can't do nearly as complex things as all my team8s in the air
This has to be the best rocket league coaching video by far. They way you describe it makes it all make sense. Im definitely do this all day.
I found this video today. I've been trying to grasp the concept of Air roll left for a little bit now and I've seen TONS of videos. Even have people who try and help me. I always knew and heard Up/Right to go Right, Down/Right to go left "You're gonna suck but just keep practicing". Man last night! I spent 40 minutes playing with understanding the touches and directions and had the EXACT same video idea. I was excited to see someone had the same realization I did. Now I am not good at it but I am starting to get it, that matters more to me then "You will suck but push through". Anyway....Good video man!
Holy moly! Your tutorial helped me to actually finally learn to air roll! No other tutorial broke it down so perfectly and clearly with such a clear training regiment to improve! I have 2000+ hours in RL but could never really air roll consistently and after watching your tutorial and practicing I finally can air roll decently and actually control it! Thank you man!
You had me in the first 30 seconds. Every guide I've seen so fair seems to jump from practicing without air roll to just doing it while spinning, with no explanation of how to actually control the car. I was sick of flailing about learning nothing so I've been searching for hours and I finally found THIS video. I think you did a great job breaking it down, and I feel like I finally have something I can practice rather than random flailing.
By far the best air roll tutorial out there, I watched this video 3 months or so after it came out and I’ve been practicing since, I’m now quite confident in my air roll and starting to learn air dribbles and flip resets from your other tutorials I am nearly there with the air dribbles and can get the reset pretty consistently
I’m about to start learning how to air dribble using directional air roll right and the hardest bit for me is how to make the adjustments at the right time to make the car go where I want it to idk why I can’t figure that bit out
I appreciate the fact that this is one of the few videos I’ve seen that actually explains how to apply directional air roll in a practical way for real games rather than just doing hoop workshop maps. Thanks for the video
You’re most welcome. Happy to help!
I LOVE THIS TUTORIAL!!❤ Yea i love it i didn't understand air roll i've watched round about 13 hours other tutorials and still didn't understand. Then i found ur Video and bang 30 mins. in freeplay and i already could fly my car around the pillar map. I just want to Thank you for making it so simple🎉🎉❤ never stop making videos i love 'em all and keep grinding because mybe not today maybe not tomorrow and maybe not in 2 years but i promise u one day u will get a big CZcamsr with a large impact on the RL comunity ILY❤
This is the single best video I have seen yet and I’ve watched many over the years as I’ve reached higher ranks just hit GC and this video helped me get it together
Thank you so much for explaining air roll so coherently and with easy-to-implement and specific tips! I’ve never seen this from any other tutorial; everyone else always talks about “getting a feel for it” but you actually made it make sense to me. I subbed bc I’m sure your great skill at breaking things down to a level everyone can understand also translates to other tutorials you have made and will make. Appreciate you man!
You're most welcome and I appreciate the kind words! I try my absolute best to make these harder mechanics as accessible as possible. I'm just glad I can help where I can!
dude you are a legend! this video is so well made. Im still early on my air roll learning journey so im still learning to air roll with 1 directional input as you instructed. I keep coming back to this video and rewatching it for reference. thank you very much for this video
This is actually by far the best video on directional air roll. Keep up the insane work bro!
I'm super glad to hear this! It means a lot. If all goes according to plan, I've got ways to teach a lot of other mechanics that I hope will also be as helpful as this was for DAR.
For real, Imma try it later ;)
Yeah you get it. Ive watched so many tutorial videos but never seen it broken down as basic and easy as this. Keep it up brother
Wow, just wow. This is exactly what I needed, I am into Diamond now and needing aerials more and more and just felt like the other videos saying just do up and right and down and right just didnt feel right. This tip straight away feels a lot more natural. Please Please dont stop these videos.
Thank you! I'm glad this helped you! I hope to make as many as I can.
Been trying to learn this for so long and a couple days practicing the way you taught it finally made sense! Keep it up!
Great to hear!
Thanks for this video! You really explain it better than all the other videos I've seen on this. If you decide to make more tutorials on other mechanics, I will look forward to watching every one of them!
Thank you! I'm glad to hear this worked and helped you. As a matter of fact, I am working on other mechanics videos! I'm currently doing the write up for my next one and hope to have it out soon. I look forward to helping as many people as I can get good at this game in ways I think are easy to learn and understand.
I'm convinced I never would have learned this if it wasn't for this video. Thanks for going in depth, I've probably seen 20 of these videos at this point and just didn't get it until you explained how and why I can go anywhere I want with one input.
Your content is sooo solid man, I love how you approach the learning process. this is single handedly the only method that has worked for me. cant thank you enough and i look forward to future videos. Thank you Grifflicious !!!
Bro I literally could not for the life of me understand how to use air roll, but within just a week of watching this video and using its method to train I started to be able to control my car using air roll, I cant even begin to describe how helpful this video was. Thank you so much bro and I hope one day you get the recognition you deserve!
You're most welcome and thank you for the kind words! It means a lot.
I've already mastered air roll, learned it around 3 years ago, but this vid is really good for beginners and intermediate air roll learners/users.
Hey man! Saw this tutorial a while back when it first came out and I saved it. Unfortunately, whenever I have free time, I never dedicate it to training, but rather just playing in comp. I am a C1/D3 that has only been using the manual air roll key bind, and I make out okay with it. Well after having internet trouble and deciding to go into training, I can say this tutorial is amazing. For context, I only dedicated 30 mins towards the air roll turning using only one direction and I already have an insane amount of progress. I can now understand how to reliably control the direction of my car, although I have moments of blanking. I played a rings map I downloaded a long time ago, but could never get more than a few dozen rings, and now am almost able to complete half of the map. I imagine with a couple weeks of practice, I may be able to firmly learn air control! Thank you so much for you video!!!
PS: I found that when air rolling to either side, look at the wheel opposite wheel. So if you air roll right, monitor the left front wheel. To turn a certain direction, start pulling when the wheel is almost directly across from where you choose to aim.
I just came back to this video to say that you are, unequivocally, the best Rocket League CZcams explainer on the platform.
I feel so cheated by the videos that originally taught me air roll, as they made it so you can only adjust with the hood facing you. You mention these videos in your video, so I'm sure you know the offenders I'm talking about, but I'm just realizing truth watching your videos how a lot of these big creators just serve up garbage information. Your information about turning any direction with one stick adjustment is golden. I'm having to go backwards with regards to my air roll to learn this the right way, but it will be so worth it, as these other dudes have had me hobbled, which I can now see, as being able to adjust when you car is only in one position has proven to be worthless for anything other than rings. I just want you to know i appreciate the work that goes into making these, and that you have a fan in me. I hope you're well.
Grifflicious, this is more than rocket league, you're gifted with a pattern recognization talent that can boost any skill that you want to learn. Good thing you're spending this time trying to help people. Great video!
Second only to my family, this sort of stuff is my life's work.
I'm back to update on my progress, having watched this video approximately 2 weeks ago. My aerial control is still a bit rocky, but the examples at the start showing 1 week of progress are no joke. I spend probably less than an hour each day on average practicing this, and I went from spiraling out of control every time I try to being able to reach level 12 of the neon heights rings map in 10 minutes while holding ARL. Absolutely incredible advice. I'm a KBM player which I'm sure isn't helping and I've still made phenomenal progress thank to this video!
This is fantastic news! I'm really stoked to hear this has been working for you. Can't wait to hear more about it!
Been messing around with air roll for the last 6 months. Watched a bunch of tutorials back then, and have tried in free play doing just what you said people did - rolling around endlessly in the air not knowing up from down. I've been in free play for the last 20 minutes while watching this video and I already have a better grasp on the inputs than I have in the last 6 months. Awesome explanation, subbed you king
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you so much.
Absolutely he best directional air roll tutorial ive seen. Great video. Youve got some of the best explanations for it all that actually make sense.
Very good quality video! Great narration, sound and video footage. I need to get back to this video once I feel at least somewhat comfortable in the air to add a directional air roll to my controls.
Appreciate the kind words and yeah, I encourage anyone who's struggled with this mechanic to try it this way. It's made a world of difference for me and I hope many others as well! Already hard at work on the next one so I hope you'll come back and check it out!
This looks like it's really going to help me finally click with air roll. Can't wait to start working on some of these drills. Thanks!
You're most welcome! I hope it helps.
Yooo bro CZcams found you!!! Top recommended video when I just opened the app. You about to blow up and for a good reason, that was a great video! Thanks for the tutorial!
This is the first content/advice I've gotten about this that actually makes sense. THANK YOU! I can't wait to finally get this down.
What a great video! Thanks for the tutorial, it really helps, can't wait to try it out!
I wish this video was out when I was learning air roll. I already know air roll left, so as an experiment I decided to try out what you recommend here. Since I already know air roll left, I figured I'd use this as a quick review. I learned I have a weakness in control of the reverse tornado spin, as well as flying while angled to the side. I ironed those out, as well as doing some review on the rest, and I swear; doing this for about 2-3 hours total in the past two days has completely revolutionized my aerial car control.
I recommend this to ANYONE, not only people first learning it. I'm gonna keep using this to strengthen my control, and I'm gonna use it to learn air roll right in the future so I may edit this comment for an update.
Either way, though, if you wanna learn rocket league mechs quick I recommend subbing this to guy asap. The few tutorials he has out are easily the most concise and informative tutorials I've seen on the topics he's chosen. I wish you to the moon.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the awesome feedback and kind words.
Best Air Roll Left Video I've found, when I first found out that holding your left stick one way would change your direction I thought it would be much easier but after trying with that I got demotivated until I found this! This will be the most useful video on Direction Air Roll for a long time & will surely recommend!
Thank you so much! I’m really glad to hear it helped!
Okay, so I am actually so damn stoked to have found this video, cause as a champ who has seemingly no mech, and not too many many people to play with that can help teach me as time goes on, I now have a direction (no pun intended) to go to practice more meaningfully than just flailing around like a toddler who got denied his McDonalds.
This really clicked for me in a way that many other videos didn't. Excellent work!
This comment right here is exactly why I had to make this video! 1500 hours into playing this game and it wasn't until I started doing this that it finally made sense. So stoked to hear this! Hope the next video can help you out too!
what "clicked" for me:
1). Doing 1 input (push to top diagonal right)- every time my car was facing me in the upright position (hence you will move to the right)
2). Repeat the SAME input when your car is in the reverse position (not facing you)- and it will CORRECT to its original orientation or position
I just kept doing repetitions on this over & over again. This was huge for me as I realized i could do both directional air roll AND correctional air roll with ONLY ONE input!
I was able to do the rings map with just this 1 input alone. Felt like I had a super power! Now i'm adding the "other inputs" one by one (putting in the repetitions) until I am comfortable with'em until I achieve full car control.
Weeeeeee! Hope this lil info helps someone! If i'm stupid and can do it, so can you!
I just tried this and it helped me massively. thank you
@@kyle_allen8241 hooray! So glad to hear that 🙂- keep it up!
thank god for your comment, you made it click for me. So is pushing the left stick down diagonal right just preference? Have you noticed that you still only need to use top diagonal right?
@@devinnunez726 my bad! Sorry for the late reply D:
Well once you get that down, then try another different input!.
I started practicing tornado spins (joystick to right --->).
Then chain the diagonal right - to just right --->.
Get used that and practice watching your cars orientation.
Hope this makes sense!
What’s a input
It's because of you and this effective way to teaching that in a few days now I'm able to make adjustments in the air and get better at my car control after weeks of being clueless no matter how many videos I saw.
If anyone asks me how to air roll I'll point straight to this video. Thank you.
Thank you and you're most welcome! This comment is what it's all about! I'm glad to hear this.
Never heard this mech explained so well and easy to understand can’t explain how many tutorials I’ve watched that just say rings and muscle memory definitely earned a sub keep it up 🔥🔥
Amazing video! The way you explain how you develop the muscle memory seems logical. Can't wait to try this and see how I will progress
Hell yeah! Keep me posted! I’m excited for you to get started.
First off - Just to corroborate the notion everyone here is making, this is by far the best video to learn this mechanic. It shines where most of the others fail miserably: Education.
It really helped, and is still helping me to improve my game. That said, I am here to point out some aspects where I think it could improve. Along the way in my training i got stuck in some points that i think could be solved with some adjustments to your content. First, there´s a part in the video where you show some other player saying that "you should move your analog stick a lot" and you say thats a misconception, which led me to try to move it less, or only when I needed it during the air roll. That was not working for me, and looking at your overlay it´s clear that you move it very frequently, I imagine the misconception is in regards to variation of movement, moving it in a lot of directions which goes against the core of your training to start one direction at a time. But the importante of micro, frequent movements is not clearly shown in your video, and it is (in my perspective) a key aspect to make this work, and when I figured this out it changed the training for me. Of course one could see that in your overlay, but seeing how you are so carefull in the way you explain your content, I thought you would like this feedback. Include a part in the video about micro adjustments, i think people will get even better and faster results. All that said, the video is already great, just trying to help, i have some other insights, but this is the main one. Sorry if some of my writing is off, english is not my first language. Thanks again for these videos!
I'm seeing the same while trying to make it work for myself as well. Good addition.
wow I don't think I would ever be saying anything like this on a CZcams vid but man you explained that perfectly. I have over 15+ days just in game playing been hard stuck d3 I came upon this vid and I watched it fully I have used air roll right the whole time and one thing that I learned from one of my buddy's was to always move your left stick to change the direction of the car and he said that would be the main thing to work on and of course because he was way better than me I listened to him. the first two or so minutes of you explaining things and I started to understand it more I hopped into training right after I watched this vid and did some shots I always had problems with and boom got them with no problems. thank you for this vid and hopefully you can continue your teaching skills and grow your channel to have an even bigger audience.
By far the best explanation of air roll / car control I've seen, and I've watched at least 10 upwards that were highly rated. Liked and Subbed, really like your approach / analysis / teaching activites. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and you're most welcome! I'm glad this is helping people as much as it helped me.
Finally, an aerial tutorial I actually learn from 🤩
Had to come back to say thanks for making this. This video single handedly pushed me other the edge to learn directional air roll. I knew that it would be game changing and being c3 without it was challenging because it felt like everyone else up there could. But here I am, 6 hours of training and a week later and I can feel the consistency building. I've been tracking my progress through your air dribble challenge back and Leth's neon heights and seeing the progress day by day is everything. Day 1 I only got to level 4 with 464 deaths in an hour, yet today not only did I get through level 6 in under 2 minutes without deaths, but finished on 17 with 148. To anyone whos on the fence about learning it: Do it. It suuuucks at the beginning, but it is so worth it. The joy you get when you clip a ring but habitually correct it back to a controllable state is everything. So thanks for making this and good luck to everyone else, I can't wait to see where I'll be at in a month.
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for this feedback and I look forward to hearing more from your journey.
This is motivating to hear. Ima jump on it too. Grifflicious crushed this video
Yes! Those "blackout" moments really teach a lot when you recover from them! Ngl super satisfying just flying around spinning and actually knowing how to steer it
I have started recently to learn this mechanich. I honestly found this video and all of your content really helpful and meaningful. Your work is amazing! So I've been traning for almost a week now focusiong only on one input (down left) and feel like I can control but imprecisely. I can make it turn and someway get the front of the car up when it get too down and viceversa but I need some room to do this as it's not that sharp of a movement. I was looking on the comments seeking for some extra tips or people in a similar point as me as I'm not sure if I should already start with another input direction or keep improving this one but found you're working on a new video on the topic to expand this one. Honestly, can't wait for you to bring it to light!!! I'll keep working on it meanwhile :)
I've been trying to learn air roll left for a few months now (on and off). I can hover around but the biggest stuggle I have is when I have to airroll and also hit the ball. I will definetely try this strategy. Great video!
All the OG's from the early season learned everything air control wise from Kevpert the goat of tutorials, that was how I personally mastered air rolling with free air roll. Switching to DAR was never hard for me but maybe that's because I already had free air roll mastered for years, this approach to it is definitely different than how I did it but is very accurate. After watching this I wanted to test my dar and see if I could move just like that with only 1 movement option and was able to do it naturally without thinking, so you are definitely correct that people who master DAR learn how to do that without being able to explain it. Hopefully people find this tutorial before doing what most of us did which is just winging it forever.
I sincerely appreciate this comment! Thank you and as with you, I also hope as many people who are trying to learn this mechanic find this video. No just because it's mine, but because I truly believe in this method and think it's the fastest and most efficient way to learn directional air roll.
Instantly subbed. This video and your speed flip explanation are outstanding. I've watched countless tutorials trying to learn necessary mechanics to rank up from D3 into Champ, and your videos are hands down the most thorough, and easily digestible. I've only just now found your channel, and haven't had a chance to deep dive yet, but if you don't already have a video on rotations, and how to adjust and compensate for teammates who DON'T follow rotations for both 2's and 3's, that would be helpful as well. I find myself always playing too cautiously because I can't depend on random teammates to rotate, so we either get scored on a wide open net because someone didn't rotate out, or I'm essentially playing goalie all game. I want to break that habit and learn to read the field better, if that makes sense. Thanks again for your work and ability to break things down so eloquently. Keep up the great work!
One of the best explanations and also the best method to learn i did it like you recommended for 2 days and im already starting to control it . Tip: training in slow mo really helps i recommend doing that if you struggle.
Im so glad I found this video, till now Ive had a misconception that putting ur stick this way or that way while directional air rolling meant left or right, but after testing out going round in circles of the ball using all 4 diagonal directions while air rolling ive learnt, it doesnt matter which direction u use for the direction you want to go, but how you want to go in that direction will be which way you decide to push the stick
As I didn't quite catch it in the video, here's a huge tip that helped me out a lot.
When you try to only move using the one stick direction mentioned in this video, you can easily decide whether you want to go right or left by moving the stick depending on whether you see the front or back of the car.
If you move the stick when you see the front of the car, you will fly to the right. (bottom right with left air roll and bottom left with right air roll)
If you move the stick when you see the back of the car, you will fly to the left. (bottom right with left air roll and bottom left with right air roll)
This observation was very crucial to me, so I hope this helps some who still struggle.
I'm also having some trouble understanding when to do the stick input as im rolling. When you say front of the car are u referring to the nose of the car or the topside of the car? I'm wondering how you see the "front" of the car if ur always air rolling with the front facing upwards??!?!
@@queezy7559 front side = top of car/roof and vice versa for back of car = undercarriage / under the main body
@@queezy7559 yeah the answer is what benzen said
Ty that helps
I'm KBM player and this tutorial made sense, even to my slowpoke brains without controller. Kudos!
Still learning though, but I'm already seeing some progress!
Been trying to understand air roll on and off again for 2 years, and I just felt completely capped out. I had the mappings of how to move in different directions when the top of the car was facing me, but I just did not have the intuition of how to do _anything_ when the car wasn't facing me. It felt like this completely impenetrable thing -- like how can you possibly know what direction to press and when to boost in the seemingly infinite orientations your car might be in that are not just "mostly upright but pointed kinda forwards." I would watch videos with people's inputs on and see them boost and directional input at what felt like completely uniques times, I couldn't figure out any "rules" that would give me a foothold in how to improve.
Then I saw this video... Thank you so incredibly much for taking the time to make this. My first day trying to follow your instruction I mostly flailed around, but felt like I was learning _something_. I could start to see how it would be possible to fly around just using one input.
The second day I had the realization that I could use bakkes to slow down to like 0.25x speed and see where the nose goes based on when you add the directional input, and that felt like a complete revelation. I then switched to 0.5x speed and managed to fly around for quarter and half laps, and then a full lap. Then I switched to 1x speed and it took like 5 minutes, but the things I learned slowed down kicked in and I could start to see when I needed to directional input and boost.
Now is day 3 and I'm able to sometimes do full laps on pillars with the one directional input. When I push the control stick I know what direction I'm going to go in (mostly), and that is just one of the best feelings I've ever had in rocket league. I can't wait to get consistent with this and learn more directions.
For anyone that happens to see this comment and feels like they could use clearer "rules" as a foothold for how to build this intuition, I wrote this note for myself last night (I use air roll right):
Vids generally try to teach air roll by learning the directions your car goes if staring straight at flat top of car (up diag left = left, down diag left = right, left=up, no clear forward/back)
would instead be helpful to start with one dir, and learn timings/spacings for component pieces (e.g. for up diag left: flat top + one quarter rotation of boost [oqrob] = left, halfway to backside + oqrob = forward, backside + oqrob = right, halfway to flattop + oqrob = backward)
for up diag left, can conceptualize as the nose being kinda pushed towards where the right wheel is headed for that quarter rotation (once I realized this, it was the most massive "click" I've had with all of this)
This is the kind of tutorial i was looking for!
Thanks for breaking it down to us, I'll try asap and let u know how it goes
Can't wait to start practicing this, thanks man for the video
You're most welcome! I hope it gets you where you want to be!
I thought everyone was just joking, but seriously it works and its so easy to understand. You probably wont see this but thank you for making this video. Im in Gold 3 and its quite amazing how much i learnt from this one video! I subscribed and will watch more of your very helpful content.
I read all my comments and I appreciate you taking the time to leave one! I'm glad it could help!
I want to ask a question. Should I be learning to start adding other inputs? If I am continuously spinning with the joystick on the bottom right, I just need to add small adjustments, right? If you could help me out in this it would be nice! You are the best RL CZcamsr and I hope your channel becomes massive.
@@hhftw Yes, you should absolutely be using other directions as soon as you can. Start seeing moments when to add them. For me, it was realizing that waiting to do down/right involved waiting out the car's rotation. Instead, trying something like up/right or up/left at that mid point taught me the value of other directions when my "usual" input was the least efficient in that moment.
@@Grifflicious thank you for the tips! Can't with for the next video!
This is the best tutorial I've seen in this entire game. New subscriber :)
My friend recommended me this tutorial abd I gotta say, this is the best tutorial I've ever seen in my time I played Rocket league
Only 7.4k? Glad I found this goldmine. Best tutorial I’ve seen. Less than 30 minutes practicing, and by far the best results I’ve seen. Been wanting to learn this for 2-3 years, always given up because I just couldn’t grasp it. This is the key. Thank you good sir!
Glad it helped!
This is basically the way I learned it and guys.. It‘s for sure the most efficient way and the funniest part is how you can improve while playing rank matches! Like for real, I only used the tornado spin and I didn‘t even realize how much I improved until I accidentally started to start every aerial dribbles with air roll. (I really didn‘t even notice that I did that until I saw the replay). It will help your mechanics a lot! Wish you all good luck and don‘t forget to actually play the game so that the training part doesn‘t blow your mind
I started learning dir air roll like this as i saw a comment on reddit. which is exactly same way you teaching it. And imho its the only one method to bring it to the muscle-memory, as one can finally understand, what to do in simple terms.
Props to you.
Thank you! I'm glad it can help!
Not even done watching the video and I can tell this is the one I've been looking for. Got me a new routine. Thanks Grifflicious
I would follow you into hell. Of the countless air roll tutorials I've watched, yours is the only that broke the technique down in to its lowest term. I'm finally dialed in on it. You deserve a Grammy.
Thank you so much!
Awesome video!
Thanks man! That means a lot.
if you see this comment i just want to let you know this is best air roll video. Straight to the point and also for people with zero experience. Thanks!
I see all my comments and you're most welcome! Thank you for your kind words.
I am not a youtuber so was never able to get this out there but this is the method I found and used and what I also think Is the greatest way to learn this mechanic. I am glad someone finally came to the same conclusion as me
Great video I’m gonna be editing this comment with what day I am on and how much progress I’ve made
Day 1
1 hour of training, can stay in the air for 10 seconds but eventually fall and can make half a circle 25% of the time
Day 2
1 hour of training went into a private match with slo mo, best thing ever helped me so much with awkward angles and can stay up for a minute
Day 3
1 hour of rings 2 can make it to level 6
Day 4
45 mins of training more of the same
Day 5
30 mins of training got really sick and just doing airdribbles to get better
Day 6-11
1 hour of training, was busy and unmotivated just going for wall and ground air dribbles, don’t know how to train air roll though
Day 12
1 hour of training I hate this mechanic but I beat rings 2 for the first time in around 20-25 mins
Day 13-18
30 mins a day just doing airdribbles from wall and ground also did some aerial training packs and have become pretty consistent at air roll air dribbles and aerial shots
Day 19
1 hour of training, it clicked for me today and now I understand how my car works with air roll, I feel like the learning journey is done, now it is just time to master this mechanic
Day 28- finally using it in game and can air dribble and flip reset with it
Tips that I recommend
Once you are really comfortable with spinning across the map, start trying airdribbles if you are bored and pass the ball to yourself and pop it up and try to follow the ball
do this at least 5 mins each day it will get easier trust me
Good luck with air roll y’all let’s all start spinning!
Looking forward to your progress! Keep me posted!
Keep it coming brodie, I’m here too! 🙌🏾
Came back to say I’m so stoked to read this! I’m excited to took this journey and shared it with us. I too have been grinding and refining. Lots of little tips and tricks to develop as you work on it for sure. I’m going to do a video on flip resets soonish and one of the biggest tips I will give for that is spend as much time as you can just popping the ball of the wall as straight as you can and fly/steer the car upside down. When you grind this, you’ll be able to get resets far more often because you won’t need to have a “perfect” setup to get them.
@@Grifflicious oh yeah now I’m super comfortable with air roll and I hope I helped people to show them the highs and the lows of learning this mechanic and how it is worth it at the end
@@zebatronn what’s your next journey? I have some video ideas and I’m curious if they align.
I've somehow snuck into champ in duos without even having direction air roll bound, so definitely gonna need this thanks lol
I had them Inputed but never used them. 😅
I really like your videos man, its the qualitiy and effort that makes you stand out. When ever I see a video I always feel like I want to jump right into the game to test it out. Pleas keep going!
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it!
Amazing tutorial bro! The way you break it down to the simplest form made me understand everything! I hope i can master directional airroll and gonna put a lot of practice to it thanks to you!
Glad it helped!
11:03 I'm silver 2 and I do this without thinking, I'm learning how to control my air rolls, and this video helps a lot, keep doing good videos.
Thanks man! I'm gonna keep it going as long as I can. If you have mechanics you'd like to see broken down like this, please let me know! I'm always looking for suggestions. Glad these are helping you!
Honestly if you are silver 2 you might want to consider trying to improve the basics first like power shots, aerial and ground play, before you learn how to air roll, but if you're already getting the hang of it then it's ok I guess
Sir this is a wendys
This video is the only thing that helped me! I have been trying to learn directional air roll for around couple months now and could never build "muscle memory" because I didn't have the foundation to build on. I tried the single input adjustments like you said to learn how to control my car in the air and it provided instant results. I'll be back here when I have improved even more, you've earnt the sub. Thanks so much.
You're most welcome! I'm so happy I could help you!
@@Grifflicious A week later and I beat the Neon rings map! Thanks again, you deserve way more attention than you get, the way you break skills down into their most basic components is so helpful.
I must say, this (THIS) is the most in depth tutorial/tips video on directional air roll TO DATE!! Kudos my friend and thank you. this helps and will continue to help me~!!!!!
You're most welcome! Happy it could help.
Great tutorial, but I'd like to say that saying you were only using down and to the right can be a little misleading, you were using the down right quadrant to be exact and the minor differences of degrees you pull towards in that quadrant alone is important as it can be the difference between successfully orienting your car or failure. With that being said, your point still stays.
You're totally right. There are some slight nuances to that specific directional quadrant but for all intents and purposes, when I think about where I'm putting my stick, it's in that direction so that's what made it the easiest cardinal direction to explain. To that point though, there are times I totally push it almost 90 degrees to the right when doing this drill but in any case, I'm still primarily staying within that zone. Truth be told, it even took me a minute to record that section since I've learned to use the whole stick lol. I sorta had to fight off my instincts I've created since learning this whole mechanic.
You’ve definitely gained a sub from me. I’ve been constantly looking for the one video that would make it all make sense and to be honest I can’t say I’ll get it instant but for sure I’ll make some progress. This has by far been the hardest mechanic to learn. Looking forward to your next videos! 🙌🏾
Thank you so much!
This in the only video Ive seen that doesnt jump from explaining how to turn left and right with directional air roll directly to "spin around this map". Great explanation on getting to understand how to start.
I usually don’t comment on those videos but I need to thank you. The explanation was so good that i learned how to airrol in 3 days but now I need to master it and take it to my gameplay
I had to teach myself this the same way, I'm glad you made a vid on it because no other video is this informative
OK, this is awesome, I have been trying to do this for a few months but as soon as I saw this tutorial I wanted to try this. It took me literally 10 minutes and now I can do this (6:50). Yea I am a fast learner but this guy is an awesome teacher.
I've always looked for an answer to my questions, and this video brought all of them up, so thank you very much!
this explanation is incredible. Thank you so much man. C3 with pretty basic air mechanics but at a plateau now. Hopefully this helps on the road to GC and beyond. always been a goal of mine since I started playing
I truly hope it helps you get to where you want to me!
This channel is a diamond in the rough. Can't wait to see it Boom. Psyched to have found you this early!
Thanks, man! Happy to have you along for the ride!
this video is a bomb! I'll tried so much, this is the first time, i get control over that damn car getting crazy while spinnin' :D :D Thanks Griff. Awesome!
I know this vid was uploaded like 2 years ago I just wanna say that this literally helped me like crazy. I was looking for something that just allowed me to do it until it clicked. Literally 20 minutes after watching this video I was literally able to go around the entire pillars map with one direction. I was flabbergasted this worked so well. I'll keep yall updated on my progress.
Love it!
The only video that makes sense! Thank you this helped so much!
Dude, THANK YOU. I can't tell you how many videos i've watched tyring to get help with this. This made it simple and easy and informative, instead of watching a 15 min video that essentially says, just says "jump into free play and rings and figure it out." Insta Sub.
You're most welcome! I'm glad it could help you.
I'm a kbm player and I've struggled with aerial car control for more than a year now, but this video worked like a charm! I went to free play and tried out the things that you mentioned in this video and it only took me 20 minutes to get the hang of it. I was able to go around the freeplay map while constantly air rolling and rarely falling on the ground. I got confident and I tried out "Speed Jump: Rings 2" workshop map and I managed to go through a few levels while constantly air rolling and only pressing S and D (the equivalent of bottom right of the analog stick on controllers). I struggled so much before and I could only go through two rings at most in level 1 without air roll, but this completely changes my understanding of air roll! My goal now is to try using W S D keys and complete the entire rings map. Thank you so much for making this video!
That's so awesome to hear! You're most welcome and I'm excited to hear more about your journey as you progress.
bro- you are a legend. where were this for all that time. Thank youso much! most helpful video so far!
Glad it helped!
After reaching GC1 last season, I realized, Directional Air Roll is the next thing to learn, but damn, I avoided it so hard. Seeing this video gave me confidence though and I really improved within the first ten minutes. Way more than in countless random rounds of Rings - thank you Griff, you are a Rocket League treasure!
2nd comment today on this video. Gave this technique a try and it's changed my whole perspective on directional air roll. Identified huge gaps in my abilities after how I've been learning this until now. Basically, I've been hyper dependent on one or two joystick directions without even realizing. This will be a game changer in a week.
Thank you! EVERYTHING can be explained, and it's ridiculous to suggest otherwise. Trying to learn the movements without a solid explanation of the physics of what is happening is like trying to learn mathematics by trial and error. Maybe that's what mathematicians do, but then they analyse and explain what they've discovered so other people don't need to struggle as much as they did. Thanks again.
You are a god.... I have never understood this concept until your video. Thank you!
Lol, hell of a compliment. I'll be sure to add that to my resume when the time comes. I'm just stoked it helped you!
Man. I can only agree with everyone else and say thank you for such a nice explanation!! The steps to give my muscels something to memorize reeaally help out a bunch! Been only playing ~500h and sitting between plat an dia in every playlist. This really helps gettin the hang of what other people are "wowing" me with :D
Also!! - I found out that focusing on where one specific front wheel is going when first adding only one direction to the roll really helps out as well :)
Thanks again for this, man! You're the goat! :D
Cheers~
bro, your tutorials are by far the best explanations on rocket league mechanics. You might have a gift in teaching
Thank you. It's a passion and a hobby.
Awesome tutorial! Well explained and now I feel confident to start using directional air roll as my daily driver (get it XD) I watched a video like this years back (like 2016) where a guy explained the basic fundamentals of aerial control to such a small degree it was immediately digestable and I was finally able to start practicing aerials from the ground and walls. This will now get me out of champ as I always black out and don't use directional air roll to recover in the air like so many pros do. GGs
Everyone's saying it. I will too. This is absolutely the BEST explanation of steps to take while learning this. You're point about the trope of "Practice and get the muscle movement" is very well put. You want to make muscle memory of the correct movements, but if you don't know the correct movements then how do you? Fantastic articulation of this.
You've earned a sub my friend. Keep it up.
I appreciate that!
ive been trying to do this for 2 weeks with 0 progress and this video gave me the info to make more progress in the past hour than i have in 2 weeks
