Which tip would you say helped you improve the MOST since you started playing?😅

[@alexlensu6051]

just win thats the best tip

[@HeckYouEpically]

Man i sure do love when this guy gives me the tip 😍😍😍😍😍

[@zachsmith2382]

Recoveries - powerslide, wavedash, half flip, etc everything that allows you to keep momentum without emptying boost every 5 seconds

the playing more 1s tip is def the most helpful, but for me, it's the most challenging. I've been d3/c1 in 3s for at least a year now, and still struggle to win games in plat 1v1. I've definitely missed out on a lot of improving from maining 3s. I feel super awkward with the ball alone, and can not flick for anything. It's so mentally hard to play 1s and I quit so easily, but i know that's the only way I can truly improve

[@zatty232]

Watch flakes' 1v1 series, don't divę into corners, and try to keep possession and your car goal side. Try to commit less, and go for fakes more. and of course try not to tilt :p Helped me a ton, thanks to flakes and aircharged gaming.

[@punk4rockorz]

I agree. I am D2-3 in both 2 and 3s and honestly my ground play is above average for my rank but I find it hard to implement honestly. The hardest thing I find is to check what the opponent is doing and reacting to it. Often they seem to wait but as soon as you lose sight of them because the ball gets in the way they charge in, resulting in a bad 50. I think the best solution for that is what Squishy named once, think where your net is and always guard that side in a 50. Also side dribbles helped me a lot since you see the ball and the net with opponent better. As for learning better car controle, I would recommend training ground controle a lot and especially your first touch. Learn how to to get the ball on top of your car with minimal boosting and practice bounce dribbling and shooting. Flicking, from what I understand and can myself has mostly to do with your speed matching the balls speed and where it lies on your car. Watch the sparks when carrying it, you want no sparks when jumping with it to keep it close to you. Aerial plays I would be careful with in 1s till you really get better and that takes a lot of time. Otherwise watch Flakes in 1 v 1 without mechanics. Force the opponent to play off the ball by feinting to engage and than pick it up somewhere in the corner. And with practicing good first touches you have good chances to outplay others.

[@Iceman-hb3uk]

The thing I love about this video is you also explained really well how to practice them in a doable way, lots of people just go like "use that pack" and that's it. I already knew all these things but never really practiced cause I didn't want to spend much time playing the game without actually playing the game, but honestly things like the air roll can be easily done in those 30s while I'm waiting to find a match.

[@roman111117]

Hit the ball against the wall from kickoff and try reading its bounce, aerial into it. I've found that really good practice

[@WilliamBoyce-ty5tt]

I'm trash at this game! I watch all these videos and see all these tips, and then when I go to put some of the things that I see into my game I look like an unranked rookie! I am stuck in Silver (made gold a couple of times), but I suck. I can't seem to judge the ball in the air. I'm always whiffing, and when I do contact the ball it is the weakest contact which leads to transitions by the opponent. I play a lot in Free Play and in the training packs, and even there I get so frustrated with myself because I don't seem to be seeing any improvement in my game.

[@nocokeonlyfanta]

I feel ya 👍 I'vr been stuck in gold forever and can't seem to improve enough to the point where I can rank up. Having said that it's also the reason i keep coming back to the game.

[@joshuadeville1123]

I'm curious what platform you play on? When I used to play on PS4 I was trash. I started playing on PC and it was so much easier. PC has a lot less Input lag.

[@WilliamBoyce-ty5tt]

@@joshuadeville1123 I play on Xbox. Yeah, lag is the worst. I will look on my screen as if I am first to 50/50 balls and then if there is a score by opponent, I will watch replays and see that it shows me like no where close to the ball even though I'm real time my controller will rumble as if I touched the ball

[@MrSmoove1224]

Go to private match, choose pillars map. Put time limit to 15mins. Ground dribble the ball and do figure 8s. Then once time is up do aerials figure 8s. Next go to free play and bang the ball off the wall. You are silver so allow to bounces. Then bang the ball off the wall. Do it for 5 mins. There is training packs that will help you for your designated rank but if you can bang the ball on net. You will make it to plat. Practice your ball control on the ground.

[@martinleland3969]

It's called practicing them

[@blakemayo1605]

For anyone curious, I got out of gold and plat when I learned how to air dribble. I’m sure it helped with other things like ball control, but I was able to score a lot easier when I learned a mechanic that most other players can not do. Getting out of diamond I learned how to ceiling musty. I learned how to play the whole field other than what’s on the ground and that helped me greatly. I’m now in Champ and honesty I just need to practice lol

Yesss! You the goat, this is exactly what I was hoping to find.

[@nick335online]

A tip with the speedflip that I use now but wish I knew (I am high Dimond, champ peak) is flip at a 15 degree angle, not a 30 degree angle, and then flip cancel. (or in my case, holding down after the diagonal flip) I've been going at a 30 degree angle for a while without knowing it and wondered why I fliped so much to the side instead of straight for kick-off's. Also a general tip is learn the basics before the flashyness, which is why I am hardstuck Dimond since I like to freestyle

[@falzgamer2895]

A speed flip is in fact 30° btw

[@charlieg6913]

Thanks for actually putting some true thought and advice from the heart into this video. I understand that we all won't progress to the same levels. Most of us probably not to anywhere near you, but still, I feel like that was really useful, practical advice. As you also mentioned, you have well over 10,000 hours. Getting to a high level of play in any game, especially one played at pro level with a massive amount of head room like rocket league, is going to take a big time investment. The more you put in, the more you'll get out. I think one last important one for me anyway is just to have fun while playing and improving. Enjoy the competition and as you said, learn when you lose. It's always humbling getting your ass handed to you but I also know that I've learned the most during those matches where I lose and by the games end my hands are shaking lol! ❤

[@中山-o2c]

Hey, I love your videos, you are absolutely insane at the game and very fun to watch! If possible could you do an in-depth tutorial on high level rotations in 1s 2s and maybe also 3s?

[@lostpenguin570]

[@Troplord]

Great video Kep! You should consider making a series Solo Queuing through the ranks in 3v3. Much Love

[@destinydefaith9275]

I'm beginning and have been on 2v2s and let me tell you, teammates always going for a ball that I could have made a goal on has screwed us both over consistently. I'm always in the background trying to pay attention to where the ball is going next and I let my teammates take shots. Don't always rush a ball.

[@jrdnwll]

Yo Kep, I've been playing this game since 2017 and sponging all the tips on youtube to get better. This is lightyears away the best video out there for improving your game, no matter where you are coming from. Thank you man. I love that you've been making more content like this, I know it only helps my competition now but I wish I had this video when I was starting out and seriously nobody is doing it better. Cheers

[@DISCORDJOINBIO]

his tips on boosting were horrible lol

[@ApricusScarlett]

Geez, I honestly wasn't expecting *all* of these tips to be so useful! I didn't realize how fun and useful air rolling was until I got to use it after watching tip 5! The tutorials from the game didn't really teach how to do all the crazy stuff in the air outside hitting the ball at the right time so a lot of this stuff was really helpful!

[@what_nob]

The aerials def helped me a lot, I trained in free play and kept sending the ball up into the air when I knew I got the hang of it, Thank you mate!

[@lucas_t7golfs]

This video was put together so well, good job Kep!

1 tip for ranked play with some who is the exact same level of play as u might be hard to find but u will or like if ur plat 1 if he’s plat 2 that’s good I was going back and ford on my rank then I found him and we went up 2 hole ranks in a day

[@calzyrlgd]

i like watching Alphakep so much he is so entertaining even when he is not even actually playing the game

[@bigrex8240]

I actually already do all these things and currently still stuck at plat 3-diamond 1 in 2s and 1’s even though I can see improvement in my gameplay however it is harder for me since I can’t play the game that often. I only get to get on the game for maybe 1-2 times per week so its very had to keep my momentum of improvement. My progress is very slow for people as busy as me with jobs and other responsibilities compares to someone who plays the game every day all day unfortunately. But these are great tips because whenever I get a chance to get on for 2-3 days in a row I actually see a lot of improvement within those days and I do rank up or “peak” the more I play. Sadly once I stop playing because of life, I return in a week to feel very rusty and cold on my mechanics and processing of the game.

[@adamwitzl]

Tbh I’m Champ3 and have never used the speed flip but I’ve always wanted to learn.

[@ianowens1905]

This definitely will not work in high levels. BUT playing casuals, I love hitting an early frontflip into the ball. this can even counter sloppier speed flips, as it gets an immediate hit after the opponent strikes it first, usually right over there head. against less talented opponents, it can also just win you the kickoff, getting the first touch

[@sd_gam3s]

I haven’t played this game in a few years and lately I been wanting to get back into it. Definitely gonna try out some of these tips

Much love Kepp, really helpful and inspirational !

[@Tan3uFN]

This helped me so much tysm

[@roseramirez7836]

In start off kicks I first boost then when I'm close to the ball I dodge into it so I usually get the first touch and my hit overpowers the others which will cause the ball to most likely fall on their side

[@TomDinh-sm2lc]

Thank you so much, I watch all your videos!

[@markusjohansson4949]

Do i need to change the camera settings from default? I don't know the difference between different types of rotations in the air.

sounds good untill your in a diamond lobby LMAO

Thank you so much alphakep. This really helped me a lot. Because I quited rl for a year and thought to come back and I was losing so much 2s and 1s games and my aerials was so bad. But now that ik these tips I think I can become pro one day❤.

[@roman111117]

I'm pretty new but I used air roll left for everything except recovers which a use analog.

[@NotSoUpstandingCitizen]

should i play keyboard and mouse or controller

[@pizndiz7603]

Keyboard and mouse due to less input delay but it really comes down to what you prefer for example I prefer controller

[@soulseeker42388]

Except if you try his double jump method to get in the air you loose your second jump that could be the difference in hitting that Ariel. Or letting the team hit it. So dont waste your second jump for just gettingnin the air if you dont have too

[@uppity7800]

real cool guy, nice video as well thank you!

[@AkaAPex]

I was Gold in 2v2 and silver in 1v1 but 1 season i decided to play just 1v1s i lost a lot of matches even dropped to bronze. But once i started improving i made gold 3 in 1v1 and i made diamond 1 in 2v2. 1v1 really helps

[@iosifmihaila7753]

Hey AlphaKep, I loved the video where you analyzed Zens gameplay and reacted to it. I would love to see another video of you reacting to another pro. Keep up the good work brother, love u man ❤😊

[@Kingqoozy]

Tip. If you need to get back and it’s like you need to get back as fast as possible. Then if you hold boost you go 5% faster while holding boost even when supersonic

[@Kingqoozy]

So if someone is trying to demo you while you trying to get back you can hold boost and avoid the demo and get back. (Learned this from ayyjay)
