These are the best air roll tutorials on KZbin, hands down, by far! Really informative, intelligently and entertainingly presented too. Love it

[@Grifflicious]

I stoked you’re enjoying them! Happy to help

[@ZenPyramid]

"You're aiming for as many brainfarts as possible..." Awesome advice from Kevpert, back in the day. Someone on KZbin recently suggested going into rings, holding down directional AR and boost without ever releasing, and just try to hover in one spot. You spend days flailing around like a spastic salmon, but it's worth it eventually, after an eon of constant brainfarts and excruciating boredom (cannot stress how important boredom is as a mental state for learning. It's like the pain bit of 'no pain, no gain' when doing exercises) your brain starts to 'see' the functional moments. It's a blessed relief to actual go Freeplay and NOT have to keep DAR down all the time. i think your 'smash nose into ceiling' is kinda the same routine, you seem to have both inputs constantly down. But aye, learning not to press is as important as learning when to. Best advice i ever heard was years ago, Fluump mentioned in passing how "everyone's practising flip resets, but most of them don't even know how to dribble the ball to the wall consistently". It really struck home, i decided to start all over again, go back to basics and relearn from the most fundamental aspects upwards. Once you do, you find the more complex mechanics kinda evolve naturally, and are therefore more useful in a competitive environment. Great tutorial, tyvm... xD

[@Grifflicious]

You're most welcome and thank you for your response! You seem to be in a similar mindset I do of absorbing as much information as possible from as many sources as you can. I recently just heard a podcast that had me rethinking how I learned and sourced things. Essentially, taking in info from all sides, every possible place, then finding your convergence point between them all. From there, you can understand the whole layout of the land rather than a single path to a destination.

[@ZenPyramid]

@@Grifflicious ...hi dude, just to say thanks again. Been training / playing with the idea 'DAR is a recovery mechanic' for months now, and my whole movement on the car has been improving dramatically. Also, the 'break more' one is good., though personally, i also came to realize i was using boost far too much, cut that out, and i'm even faster. Go figure. It seems i spend most of my time unlearning bad mechanics. A legacy of playing drunk league with mates for too many years! Thanks again bud, some of the best RL advice on RL...! x

[@Grifflicious]

@@ZenPyramid that’s awesome to hear! I too struggle to unlearn my bad habits and yeah, too much drinking and RL has set me back quite a bit lol

[@lvl100boss85]

It's amazing how you break down each complex mechanics into simple digestible chunks of explanations and motivations behind each step. Great job griffi ❤

[@loriseljongentile6283]

ngl. im gc1 atm and i really learnt how to use directional air roll by your first part of the directional air roll tutorial. i became decent in air control (and overuse it) rn, even learnt how to flip reset. im gonna test those drills but im sure theyre gonna be stressfull lmao. anyway u made a gc learn something. idk if u'll ever be gc cuz it needs time and directional air roll is surely not enough, but i can say that youre a really great coach. nobody explains like you do. lots of love my g

[@XiTrOnE_SBT]

thanks for breaking down everything so well. I watched sooo many guides over the last couple years and these 2 guides are definitely the best car control videos out off all

[@davidhan8827]

Thanks for coming back, missed you! You're a natural instructor/teacher. Being not GC doesn't really matter since a lot of high level players don't have a good way to teach, only practice (themselves).

[@jrlappin6560]

Gunna add this to my training routine for sure. The way I’ve trained my air roll recoveries is going into whatever rings map and turning off the level reset button so that I can never feel like I’ve messed up too quickly and automatically just reset the shot out of frustration to get that perfect set up. Doing this forced me to always attempt, no matter how long it takes or how many camera changes I need to switch between to know where I’m supposed to be going, I always just put maximum effort into getting myself, in the air, back into position to finish the level. Once I started getting better at this I started deliberately tapping parts of my car off of the rings occasionally as I went through them. This helped with envisioning recoveries before I had to make them. I could see that the right side of the nose of my car is going to clip that ring, that’s going to send my car spiralling left and probably backwards, I know the next ring I need to get to is to the right. I knew then how to be ready to make that recovery and still get through the next ring. It feels similar to the ceiling drill to me. Hope this makes sense.

[@coqru]

Literally never miss with a video, always on point and helpful and I always appreciate the time it takes for you to make a good quality video. Keep up the good work.

[@SamiraSamira-z6f8s]

This guy is a national treasure.

[@SniperHawk57]

learning to recover is what first got me a tiny bit of knowledge about air roll use

[@Fr3dFo0]

Damn I love this video. I discovered basically everything you said here myself when I started learning but I wish I just saw your video to skip that. This is in my opinion the most helpful tutorial on this topic and if I was to make one I'd make it basically like yours

[@JackDoBronxs]

griff i want to sincerely thank you for these videos that you make. You are the first rocket league youtuber that I ever came across (as i recently got into the game) and you made me fall in love with the game. as an engineer in profession, the way you set up your videos explaining every minute detail has helped me unlock a part of my brain that hasn't been used since uni. I love the way you explain the core concept behind each facet of the game and it helps me really engage with your content and improve. I have already improved so much since i started watching your videos and i hope to see more great content like this! wish i could support you in more ways!

[@Grifflicious]

Your comment means a lot to me, truly. I love the puzzle of trying to deconstruct something, figure out how it works, then rework ways to articulate it in as digestible terms as possible. Its truly just a passion for me so hearing people are getting something out of it is just the cherry on top.

[@JackDoBronxs]

@@Grifflicious i love to see it! you're essentially THE Rocket League Engineer/Professor. Your deconstructions and explanations are manna from heaven for any newbie trying to quickly understand how to get better. you've levelled up my understanding of the game and i look forward to being a member of the Griff University!

[@longdamon173]

Super helpful video! The biggest help for me was the ceiling drill and learning to quickly find air roll neutral. Before watching this video I had a basic understanding of directional air roll, but would often find myself getting "lost" and flailing down instead of maintain control. Thank you for making this video

[@Grifflicious]

You're most welcome!

[@HoraryHellfire]

This is an amazing video! Very in-depth, and does not brush over things like other videos on the topic. As a former SSL and coach, I don't tend to like tutorial content because they often are "hollow" when it comes to advice, but this has a LOT of substance to it. I don't normally send people to YT videos for learning material, but I would definitely do so for this video! Remember everyone, no "gimmicks" you learn is going to be the true secret to the mechanic that is air roll. It is a highly complex maneuver with basics and advanced applications with many different possible movements.

[@shanesyms3547]

Hey griff, I’ve been been hard stuck champ with a peak of champ 3 for the past few years, I’ve decided that the reason I couldn’t reach GC was because I strictly used free air roll. So the past few days I’ve been trying to find a good video to help me learn directional air roll and every single one I’ve watched hasn’t even come close to being as helpful as this one. 15 minutes after watching these 2 vids and I’m already air dribbling using air roll left in your training pack. Just wanted to let you know how awesome these instructional vids are man keep it up :)

[@gaeljusacamea289]

i remember watching you’re first video about this in september. it really made me understand the concept of air rolling left. now i can turn wherever i want to on the right side of my joystick. same with the touches i want on air dribbles. learning this mechanic can most definitely help you be a better player in the air. seriously take your time with this mechanic. it’s worth the process. thank you griff for making me understand this concept. tried about 3 times until i came to you’re video🙌🏽

[@mattress9074]

I still don’t understand how to turn 😢

[@dataredacted3648]

You are the teacher of Rocket League you helped me improve by a lot thanks

[@EasilySteezily]

Great video! I started this game using free air roll, but at around plat, I watched some KZbin videos, and decided it was worth it to start learning ARL. I used that for a year or so, but was hardly getting anywhere and decided to rework all of my controls, removing free air roll completely, and having both directionals bound so I wouldn't resort to Free air roll in awkward situations. Of course this was really tough at first, but after a few months of casual play and a little rings and recovery training I got pretty consistent with ARL for aerial plays and adjustments, and only used ARR for jumping off walls and times when it was required, but I am now realizing the benefit of using ARR in the air for a better first touch in some cases, to get more power in others, or even swapping from ARR to ARL and visa-versa can really help regain control or put you in a position the opponent would never expect. Learning a 2nd air roll is really hard when I already have pretty ingrained muscle memory for the first one but I am hoping to keep making progress on my way to complete aerial control. One thing I really struggle with even with my dominant air roll though is when the nose of the car is facing the camera, it really throws me out of wack.

[@mistere5857]

Are you really not a GC yet or is that disclaimer leftover from the old rankings? If youre not GC then I have a long way to go as a lowly C1 who cant do half the mechanics that you can.

[@Zekeiszeus]

Facts. RL is only getting harder to rank up too.

[@mistere5857]

@@Zekeiszeus honestly I think it was just last season because they messed with the MMR. This season seems to be a return to form as I found it a LOT easier to get to D3/C1 this season as it had been for 4 seasons prior to last one.

[@punk4rockorz]

I have played Diamond the last year (being stuck) and when I look at my replays, mechanically I am quite a bit better than last year. I am more consistent D2-D3 and C1 at brief times but feel like overall there are more and better players in these divisions without a doubt. Air dribbling from the corner in the net is almost nothing special and even flip resets are not uncommon, although often ineffectively. I think the big thing is that I only play 5 to 8 hours in 2 weeks and so I don't play enough to outgrow my rank. I feel like Champ is possible but the hours that I put in, more hours should be spend on mechanics and watching replays.

[@mistere5857]

@@punk4rockorz excluding last season air dribbling and flip resets are not common in Diamond. I would see it maybe 1 out of 4 games and it was almost always a C2-3 player who was carrying a friend. I've also noticed that it is easier to get out of Diamond 50-75% through the season as many of the smurfs have moved on by that point. The hallmark of diamond players is they try to make up in speed what they lack in mechanics so they will be stupid aggressive (emphasis on stupid). The way to beat them is to control the ball while you have possession. Draw them in to where they commit and then flip it past them. The other strategy is to use tactical demos. Because of how aggressive they are, they will frequently be out of position so a well timed demo will result in a 2v1 or an open goal situation.

[@punk4rockorz]

@@mistere5857 Air dribbles are definitely common. At least every other game I am teamed up or against a player that slots Air dribbles pretty consistently with quite a lot of control. The ground controle is all over the place, ranging from very neat and impressive plays to extremely sloppy and badly utilized. Flip resets are quite a bit more rare but it's not uncommon to see Champ ranked players (at least I think) because they got quite the tricks and sometimes attempt to score with flip resets. I agree with the speed and lack of mechanics. Diamonds are fast but also get sloppy fast and it's far from consistent. To utilize your first tactic you need a good first touch, good controle oversight and a few tricks. It's not something we Diamonds can pull out many times in a game. Especially when the opponent is pressing hard. Although I don't mind high pressure opponents in Diamond. One mistake from the opponent can also result in a counter goal, which is not uncommon. The demo tactic is one I use way too little. I start implementing more physical play but don't always recognize the best moments to do it, or usually too late or early. For me it's usually; when I have mechanically a better day, I score more and make spectaculair saves but take more risks in challenging as I am taking more confident decision-making (read; not better). When I don't feel as good mechanically I play more passively and controled making less brash decision making and getting scored on less. Result is very mixed. Usually I get worse progressively with better mechanics as my decision making gets worse, also not compensating for better mechanics. With worse mechanics I get better over time. My mechanics warm up, while I make better decisions. I should really make up my mind better and make better decisions when I feel like I play at my best mechanically.

[@SashaGL-n8z]

PLEASE HELP ME For years and years I have been trying to learn how to air roll but the thing is I just don’t understand the explanations, they just don’t click. So I have a couple of questions I need to get answered. The first one is imagine I want to move to the right while air rolling, do I only hold my left stick to the right when the car is facing forward or do I also hold the stick to the opposite side (left) when the car is facing backwards??? Another question I have is how do you people move so quickly from like one side to the other when air rolling it’s like you see a ball is far to the left and you just air roll and you reach the ball as quickly as if you weren’t. I feel like when I air roll I take a long time to get to the ball if it is in the air and on the left or right. This might be because I only move my stick when the car is facing forward (to the opposite net) I don’t know if I should move the stick around at all times if I want to move left. If I do have to move the stick around at all times where should I move the stick to when the car is facing at the opposite net and when the car is facing If I want to move left??? Thank you for your time.

[@balladin9200]

bottom right and top right adjustments with air roll left with hood adjustments is how I got started and i learned constant air roll so fast by it. The 2nd step is being able to go up and down 3rd is going up and down while going right or left 4th is doing all this in reverse when your belly is facing you 5th is constantly being able to adjust so even when your side is facing you

[@RthereNEusernames]

I can tell a lot of thought went into creating this video. Thanks for the tips and for the high quality video!

[@mrmixmc4700]

My brain is getting bigger and bigger in each video

[@leob.7772]

Well done Griff! Hard to break down such a - on sight simple - yet, to learn, so complex mechanic. Here is some input from my journey to learning and understanding it. (If i were a video guy, it's part of what I'd show. ^^) You mentioned in your first video the 1-direction technique, and it connects to it's idea. Now: Lets assume you only have 8 (main) directions on your stick (cardinal and ordinal, instead of literally 360°). Then your nose of the car can point in 8 different directions relative to the camera. And with pressing Air roll left/right, it also changes its roll position (1 hood facing -> 2 diagonal -> 3 sideways -> 4 diagonal -> 5 wheels facing -> 6 diagonal -> 7 other sideways -> 8 diagonal -> back to 1: hood facing) - and that about every seconds or so! (How long does one ARL spin take for the whole rotation?*) So the complexity of air roll left - flying is pretty much: All joystick inputs possible x nose orientation x roll orientation ---> so (simplified!) 8 x 8 x 8 = 512 possible actions / choices you could make ... PER EVERY SECOND (/full air roll)!!! So reducing one variable to 1 (joystick movement) reduces it's complexity by a lot! (down to "only" 64 possible choices per second ^^) -> easier to start learning. I have some more understandings that are probably too scince based to be fun or easily digestable - but if you'd like to hear them, let me know ^^' Keep up the good work!

[@Grifflicious]

Uh, yeah. I would ABSOLUTELY love to chat with you about it! This is my shit! The more we can break something down, the more it can be understood and thus, learned more succinctly. I'm all for it! If you have discord, you can use the link in my channel banner to get to my server and send me a DM from there! I look forward to hearing from you.

[@NakedTrashPanda]

Pog. Appreciate these videos a lot. Always the most helpful videos compared to the other I have seen.

[@CaitofFate]

As a console player I don't have Leths rings, so I need something to force my hand and get me going somewhere fast, so Ill hover in Freeplay spinning in neutral and then press pass ball. I want to hit the ball with the nose of my car or even front fender corner. It has gotten me so much car control so fast its crazy. If you think its worth it id love it if you'd spread the word, or any reader catching this really

[@ANS1s]

Thank you so much i will do the drills in the video and i love your videos so much because they are the best tutorials out there

[@johnsavage5607]

Hey Griff, love the details you put into your videos! I've used them often over the last year to keep building on my skills. Have you tried to learn the opposite inputs (ARL-left stick adjustment instead of right)? Recently I've been incorporating some training to learn this in my control as I've seen some SSL or higher players use this to angle their car in ways the tornado spin does not. I hit GC in 2's last season and 3s this season so im just looking at any and every way to continue to develop my skill sets. Thanks for your content and keep up the grinding my friend!!!

[@Grifflicious]

I've been playing around with a lot of different things and sort of taking notes as I go along. For now, this was the most "basic" version I wanted to convey until I have a bit more I unpack as it relates to other mechanics.

[@idanlevitski]

Another amazing video! I got confused by all these methods and drills but I got some progress using one stick direction adjustments which is enough for me. Not a full control but I still like it. I would like to see some other cool mechanics videos, maybe a horse dash tutorial? :D

I dont really get what you meant by a reference point or what you use it for at 6:40. Would you mind helping me out a little? Ive given myself kind of a new years/new seasons resolution to learn air roll last season because ive been struggling with a lot of other tutorials, i watched your first video on directional air roll a while ago and have been practicing and utilizing it as much as I could. And I also have to say that from all the tutorials ive watched (a lot) yours were definitely outstanding and the most helpful. Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work

[@handles7086]

I totally thought for a second that you were actually about to show a graph of the micro corrections😂 I’m so gullible. I’ve been on and off with rocket league trying to learn DAR since your DAR vid a year or so ago. I’m so sad to say that I still don’t get it😂

[@NS-ns2qn]

so @ 4:35 the magic secret is: if you want to go left, point the hood of your car towards you and hold air roll left? and vice versa for the right direction?

[@hhftw]

Thanks for uploading man!

[@maxwellhubbard2749]

I have the same problem you said earlier in the video. Im pretty decent at air roll control if im only using down or up maybe alittle to the left and right.. but it just feels like im doing ring maps without spinning, in that its not fluid. im making one adjustment at a time. most of the time it feels like left and right is useless, so im not really sure how to get those adjustments into my mind

[@h3ckt068]

I'm totally lost in RL and my very experienced friend has no clue how to help me. As of now, I'm using L1 on controller as to Air roll, but in the primitive way. Holding L1 makes my Stick inputs be the directional input to the air roll. I find myself struggling a lot in aerial control, as in I have barely any, and I'm quite often just missing a ball by inches due to having the bad habit of holding L1 and pretty much only flying in a straight line from where I started due to air rolling the entire time. I have a directional air roll bound to triangle to recover with a half flip, and I'm comfortable with that, but what I'm sort of gathering from this video is a LOT of players are just using a directional air roll all the time so that they can manage rotation and direction simultaneously while up? I have maybe about 300hrs stuck dia/plat, on the level of a gold player when it comes to aerial ball control / even following the ball from the wall up.

[@Grifflicious]

I’d be happy to help you! You on Pc?

[@h3ckt068]

[@adibislive]

Hey Griff, great video as always. I've been practicing with the training pack from part 1 for a few days now and I'm wondering how soon I should start to add stuff from part 2 into my training routine. To really start to get good with my aeriel car control, should I be incorporating these routines such as the ceiling smashing as soon as I semi-comfortably can? Thanks!

[@Grifflicious]

Yeah, as soon as you feel comfortable and are ready to step it up, by all means, start bringing in the other stuff! I recommend burst training. i.e., keep your current routine, sprinkle in something new for 10-15 minutes, then go back to your routine. When you keep them separate and deliberate, you have an opportunity for the skills to sort of adapt and gel in your mind and your current mechanics while also keeping the "old" mechanics fresh and improving.

[@adibislive]

@Grifflicious Wow thanks for the fast reply! I've been training for about 30 min sessions for mechs to keep my mind focused, such as 30 min air roll then some dribbling and some shooting, then maybe some 1s or more air roll. I'll definitely sprinkle in some stuff from this video!

[@Grifflicious]

@@adibislive No problem! I have a bit of a standard I keep which is training something for more than 30 minutes really starts to have diminishing returns and training something new should be done in 10-15 minute increments. That way you don't start to develop the wrong habits or bad movements along the way. Especially if you feel yourself hit that wall of, "nothing I do is working"...then step away and do something as a palette cleanser.

[@Liluzibertgg]

I just got to the point where I can do somewhat do rings maps. Perfect timing.

[@ForecastAbyssGaming]

the other tutorials say you should only use the right side of your left thumb stick but your using both sides, is this a personal preference or is it not that important

[@Grifflicious]

No, you should be using the whole stick. It's just easier to learn one side or direction at a time.

Can someone explain to me why spinning up for the ball instead of just going straight for it and rotating to the spot u want is better i dont get it

[@djamiljo93]

Did someone here changed his directional air roll bind after learning it? I kinda think i to flip air roll left and boost, put boost on R1 and ARL on circle. I can't touch the ball in musty speed flip test only because i don't boost for 150ms because i guess fat thumbing boost and jump doesn't work for me... I can't use right thumb to look around while boosting... I can't use air roll right on square while boosting for halflip and other... but I more than 3k hours near 4k not sure if it's worth it but I'll certainly will be better once i get used to it and left to air roll right too

[@Ali-wf9ef]

How do you setup the ground to air dribble in freeplay using backesmod ?

[@AprenderAHacerSer-cj1bk]

Can someone explain the point of the "reference point" at 6:17? You correct with left stick only when the car is facing forwards or backwards, is that it? And max rotation speed is constant, so you just gotta get the rhythm?

[@Grifflicious]

The reference point is basically finding a point in the car's rotation that you choose when you adjust each time it comes around. In my example, I choose the front left fender so whenever the car would spin around, I kept my eye on that part of the car. When I saw it come around, that's when I would provide an input adjustment. I just did this for a while until I got the "rhythm" of the spin and when to adjust. And yes, the spin speed is constant at max rotation so it always takes the same amount of time for the car to roll 360 degrees. Those two things in tandem helped me to feel out the mechanic rather than fight it and myself trying to figure it out. Hope that helps.

Hey @@Grifflicious, thanks for the answer. Didn't understand how to get started at first, but after rewatching and playing around in a big ass map (Noob Dribble) I think I got the idea: feather boost to keep in the air, keep directional roll pressed as much as possible, then control direction with left stick only when the hood is facing me, since it's the normal position I'm used to. But quickly I realised freestyle was too much work for something that would reduce consistency in actual matches, as you say, so instead I turned wholeheartedly towards your air roll training, which is already helping to make useful corrections in game. Will give freestyle another "whirl" after practicing backwards flying so I can correct with the hood away too (when is that cheat sheet coming? It would actually come handy for us unwitting Will Smith fans! xD)

I was c3 and after I tried to learn air roll left my rank dropped to diamond 3 its back up now to c3 but after 100s of hours

The trick is the boost😂🎉

My problem is I can't control my car with ball cam on the way I can control my car off ball cam. I know it seems easy enough to just train with ball cam on but I still get blackout moments and just don't know how to control it.

Ground to air dribbles. This helped me out a TON.

[@hivenoun7401]

When do you use directional air roll vs free air roll? That for me is the hardest part.

[@Grifflicious]

Free air roll is reserved best for air roll shots and minor adjustments. i.e., needing to slightly adjust the wheels to land on a surface. Directional air roll is best when needing to make larger, in-air adjustments that require you to be fluid and efficient.

[@hivenoun7401]

@@Grifflicious Thanks for the answer, truly appreciated. Community is kinda split on this one, hence why I asked. I've played with keyboard for approx 3000 hours. Just now decided to try to learn the DAR and actually unbinded my free air-roll, but realized after 3 weeks of practicing that I feel kinda handicapped without it even when I've dar right and dar left binded. It just makes those slight adjusments and smooth recoveries hard (at least for me).

[@balladin9200]

I only use free air roll in the last portion of a speedflip, air roll shots and recoveries are directional for me aswell 2 axis movement is just better so just spam it

[@ANS1s]

OMFG THANK YOU

[@zakkayyy9763]

Grifflicious, I'm at the stage where i can control my car through any of leths rings or dmc 3, not in great times but airrolling the whole time, im just not sure where to go from here, because i dont seem to be getting any better

[@joerjon]

i would suggest to start training "shots" in the pro aerial training of rocket league while using your air roll. Also learn something like flip resets, not because u will be able to use it immediately but bcse it will force u to use air roll in a way that u will be able to use ingame. Hope this is usefull.

[@zakkayyy9763]

thanks@@joerjon I'll give it a try

at 4:30 is he using directional air roll on normal air roll can someone explain this to me

Directional air roll. Specifically air roll left. That's how the car is able to spin from a single button press.

Sorry, there isn't a training pack. Just freeplay and the D-pad "pass ball" and "launch" options.

If you meant the wall to air dribble training pack in the video (3 shots), it is 5A65-4073-F310-5495.

[@SirYami-qz5go]

i literally cant get it no matter how much i try i just cant control it at all ive been practicing forever and i just cant do it idk how to finally get control this shits annoying me someone help

[@Grifflicious]

@@SirYami-qz5go slow down and focus on keeping the nose in the air at the same point in your rotation as the car spins around. Pick a point at which you’re going to adjust and ONLY adjust at that point. Don’t worry about turning. Just keep the nose straight up and down.

[@SirYami-qz5go]

@@Grifflicious i appreciate youre help im just a really slow learner ive had this game for years and have only been able to get decent with air roll im more of a learning by doing it person i wish i could show you what was happening as i do certain inputs so you could see what was going on. cause im following your video rn and did the basic nose facing ceiling air roll left then pull down to turn left and my car goes to the right for some reason

[@Grifflicious]

@@SirYami-qz5go then I’m going to guess you’re over adjusting. Speeding too long holding the stick in any one direction and on top of that, boosting constantly which throws the car even further out of wack if you’re already struggling to keep it airborne. Best advice is to only boost when your nose is pointing up.

[@SirYami-qz5go]

@@Grifflicious okay ill try that right now. Do you have a discord that people use or something maybe i could screen share and show you idk if u do those things

Still stuck trying to learn how to air roll just find it so confusing and ive been playing around 4-5 years and stuck in diamond lol

[@Grifflicious]

I was in the same boat. Frustrated and hell bent on learning it. I know it's different for everyone and plenty of people have advice on the "best" way to learn it. This is simply how I was able to understand and learn it and I apologize if it isn't helpful. It truly just comes down to time, practice, and patience. Even now, I'm still not as good as I'd like to be with it and I'm always grinding to improve.

Can u do an followup video to aerial overcontrol? I spun all the time as i started learning Directional Airroll (DONT DO THIS IT WILL HINDER URSELF LATER ON) now i have the problem that i feel like i "overcontrol" my Directional Airrol (KBM) iam constantly putting inputs into my Airroll, even when i dont have to, which makes the whole Airroll in the air, look very controlled from outside, but tbf for me, it stops my progress in having a way smoother feelin airroll, which hinders me ultimateively going way futher up the skillcelin and tryin out new mechs! This is extremely obvious while defending & attacking, iam sometimes in a position where i though, yea just a few more addtional inputs, couldnt hurt... and then i put the ball not where i wanted or i even miss it, or the worst part, i touch the ball with a bodypart with which i dont wanted to... I really didnt realized that till i stopped playing RL for around 2-3 months and were coming back! Keep it up!

I'm sure this video is so helpful however reading fast and using corporate language makes it so difficult to understand. Somebody please translate between 5:07 - 5:34. Understood nothing in there.

[@Grifflicious]

Basically, the idea is that you can adjust the car with up, down, left, or right, but you should only be using them briefly in order to set the car on the correct/intended course. You don't want to HOLD any of these directions.
