[@youknowit4954]

Bro I’m watching your videos. You have all these main steam popular KZbinrs with hundreds of thousands of subs posting tutorials which are very short ended. The quality of videos you post is outstanding. The structure of your videos, the sources you provide, and the depth you go in is unbelievable. Just thought I’d say that. Seriously, keep up the amazing work.

[@Grifflicious]

Thank you so much! I’ll keep going as long as I can.

[@radicaldradcliffe4201]

@Grifflicious forreal man. Most rocket league tutorials are garbage. Not here. One thing I might recommend is when you describe a key press, don't say the button you pressed. Say the function you pressed. Instead of saying "Preas x" say "press boost" or "press jump". X is ambiguous between Playstation and Xbox, and people use different bindings.

[@Grifflicious]

@@radicaldradcliffe4201 that’s fair. Thank you for that! I’ll be sure to use that nomenclature in the future!

[@tylerrecar1334]

He goes into so much detail don't get me wrong but he reminds me of Bob Ross of how monotone he sounds. If he wanted to improve this and his communication skills in general he could watch some Vinh Giang vids and shorts. Not trying to be the guy to complain because I really like how much depth you go into. Just trying to help so new players aren't overwhelmed with all the information and so they can take it in easier and remember it.

[@Grifflicious]

@@tylerrecar1334 totally fair critique, my dude! I struggle to decide what to include and what to make it’s own thing. Sometimes, it’s tough because they are all so interconnected. I feel like I’d be leaving something important out just to make it it’s own thing. Either way, I’ll consider your commend and see how I can improve! Thank you for the feedback.

[@TakeInIT1]

The fact that you make videos about the "boring" aspects of the game, and not all the "fun and cool" stuff, is the reason I am actually improving my gameplay. What is a cool and flashy aerial if you can't even land after being in the air? What is a flick if you can't even get to the ball in time without boost? I can't wait to see what more you have in store for us! Watching your videos is like having a professor who's really passionate about their subject and teaching.

[@Grifflicious]

Sincerely appreciate that! Thank you, so much! It's a pleasure and a labor of love.

[@lythen77]

I actually find this stuff way more interesting... because it's the little things like this that make the big difference... I have a guy I play with alittle who actually can't play or do a play unless he's got full boost...

[@twopolaar599]

This channel is an absolute gold mine, thank you so much! You are covering all the different aspects of rocket league which arent explained in depth enough or overlooked

[@21ucid]

I've been scouring the web for various mechanics tutorials for a week now and this is hands-down the most comprehensive and detailed video I'd seen. Was able to wave dash and half flip with relative ease since implementing your drills. Please don't stop uploading!

[@ChrisCantrellProject]

Honestly, loving the tutorial videos so far Griff. Been trying to improve mechanics and you are explaining a lot of the information that I’ve been missing from other tutorials. Looking forward to future content.

[@Skyyeverlast]

Loving your explanations of things compared to other tutorials that are out there. You help to explain some of the smaller details that are often missed. It kind of inspired me as a lowly diamon to start my own channel and just as a little docuseries show what tutorials by streamers have taught me and (hopefully) make my way up the ranks. Looking forward to more content Griff!

Hey man I just wanted to say from a really small rocket league content creator/player I really appreciate all the thought and effort that goes into these videos. I've watched so many videos on the same things, but when I watch yours I finally get that "click" in my brain. Thank you!

[@thecarbino]

Thanks! This really helped me with my fast aerials. As a champ 2 struggling with beating people in the air, the plugin will clearly help make a difference.

[@shadowsreevolution]

I use 'need boost' to encourage my teammates to rotate. It makes them think I'm bad on defence and reminds them that they need boost and what is about to happen when their 1v2 or 1v3 fails. 50% of the time, it works every time 😎

Tips: Speedflip doesn't make you go faster than a normal flip. Speedflip are good when you need to boost WHEN dashing. If you don't need to boost when dashing then you should use a normal flip.

[@Viole00158]

Speed flips are faster 😂 that’s why pros use it

[@arkedin2759]

FYI I am really struggling getting used to zap dashing. One thing that really helps is after the flip when you are getting ready to press jump, spam the button. It helps you dial in a time to when you should be pressing it.

[@vanillagorilla4406]

I wish more players watch this boost management is the reason I rank up about 75% of the time depending on the game mode

[@SoonEnough]

you can jump off the ceiling, then jump again with an empty jump, to reach the ground the fastest you can do the same off the ball, jump as soon as your wheels touch the ball (in the flip reset scenario) then empty jump to reach the ground almost immediately

[@spicynugs6968]

My friend Alan really needed this thanks !!

[@nifLefty]

Boost is like weed, you're addicted to it so you think you need it, but you don't need it, you can have it from time to time since it might help you but you don't always need it (I do not smoke weed so this comparison might not work for you either)

[@paraspective]

Superb video. Useful for all ranks as well :)

[@Grifflicious]

Glad you think so!

[@felixjequier2940]

The speed flip is not faster than a regular front flip, you just gain the ability to boost during the all time of your flip. So if you don't boost (like you do in the video) you don't need to speed flip. Just wave dash and front flip, or double front flip.

[@estikenal3078]

This is such a W of a video ❤

[@erecno7979]

Great vid, only 1 thing i think you got wrong. When you are on the 0 boost acceleration drills, you say to wavedash then speedflip. This isnt actually necessary, because to my knowledge, the speed flip is only faster than other flips because you boost toward the ground. Without using boost, its just a diagonal flip with more steps.

[@hoseheadzanman]

Please do some advanced dribbling like 360's or evample style stuff. If your'e capable that would be amazing as i've never seen a really good instructional on it.

[@callmemc6]

In theory, is it possible to use a curve dash to get a faster fast aerial, since you need less rotation to get straight upward trajectory? Say your teammate is in net defending someone going for a reset in the air and you can disrupt from behind to hit off the backboard, can you get up faster if you curve dash, double jump, then boost up since you effectively halve the amount of backwards rotation needed? This would be extremely situation and very rarely used, obviously, but I'm interested if it would even work that way.

[@omnipotentfish3404]

You can actually wall dash way easier by just holding forward on the stick and air rolling left/right in the direction of the wall.

[@Josh-J19]

well now in the new season 15 you can see your teammates boost on their name tag next to it is a little circle showing how boost is there 0:09

[@Malam_NightYoru]

I use the "Need boost!" As a "As a matter of fact, i, indeed, had no boost" *In the most absurd miss ever that even if i didn't had boost i could get to the ball*

[@multishep4340]

*defending with no boost (cuz boost starved)* i need boost says, i cant save a top right or left corner... but yeah i get your point

[@jakelhenderson6529]

Would it be possible to do a preflip air dribble tutorial?

[@Grifflicious]

Soon!

[@RisitasElpeito]

10:50 you dont understand that the value of speedflip is to be able to boost while flipping So when you have only 12 boost and want to go supersonic speed you dont need to speedflip ,you only need to frontflip it is the exact same result but easier

[@FabEnPeOr2]

Great Vids my friend! Do you know about any plug in like the one for speedflips but for the wall dashing? Somehow I am having a hardtime getting the mechanic. I can do it just in certain situations and Iove to be able to use it every time and controlled.

I do not. I’m sorry.

[@lordstashly1278]

As Gentleman, I dare say we all have our moments. I will gladly say this upon my own experience and gratefully accept and thank you for your thorough yet thoughtfully detailed explanation 🤔 Do you happen to know what training regiment would be optimal for those on console? AKA Xbox 1S with internal hard drive swapped with 1TB SSD. Also I’m having issues with stick drift… & yes I’ve literally re-soldered new parts “undisclosed” at least until the controller… thankfully rarely updates and I’m in the same boat as last time. It’s not like I’m Jamming the Joy-Stick! 🤔 Considering it’s the “Actual”Right Side. I’m only asking because who knows!!! Maybe I’m doing something wrong!!!

[@aarepelaa1142]

Huh, you can literally just do the walldash by holding forward and toward the wall while mashing jump, it's pretty damn easy but you want to setup off the curve to not fall off quickly.

[@jamiehume9360]

Loving the Fast Aerial plugin. These kind of tools are incredibly valuable and complement the video well. I have a question - the time between double jump indicator seems to count upwards to green so that smaller time gaps lead to a red (worse?) result. Am I misunderstanding or isn't a smaller gap between jumps better?

[@Grifflicious]

So there is an optimal time to my understanding. That said, I’ll check it out when I get some time and see if there’s anything I’m missing.

[@jamiehume9360]

@@Grifflicious There is an optimal time in the plugin yes, but shouldn't the optimal time between jumps be as short as possible?

[@Grifflicious]

So once you extract the folder, there is a .DLL in there. You just drag that into your "plugins" folder, and once in game, use the bakkesmod Plugin Manager, click the box for the "Fast Aerial" plugin, and you should be all set.

[@IINSPIR3DD]

I kinda disagree with the first statement. I also use the need boost for teammates that keep passing the ball when i rotate to be 2nd man

I was certainly trying to be salacious but all the same, I agree, it does have a real purpose and can be used accurately. Curious, what rank are you?

[@Grifflicious]

@@IINSPIR3DD so, at a point, GC 2ish and up, that quick chat isn’t used except for kickoffs. Reason being is that it’s assumed that at any moment, you’d have enough boost to deal with something or position/rotate in a way that would fill your tank. It’s used as “intended” at lower ranks because players just aren’t aware of things like what I talk about in this video, as well as pad rotations.

[@Marcelo-il6bu]

i have 2 questions and cant find a clear answer, do i need press throttle while air dribbling or not, im seeing pros doing it and some dont. and do i need to press throttle when starting an air dribble from wall/ground. Because sometimes i feel i mess up specially at wall air dribbles when i start with pressing throttle.

[@christianrobinson4526]

When you are in the air the throttle doesn't do anything. Only your boost will adjust your trajectory when your wheels aren't on the ground. A lot of people just hold the gas all the time because it's more comfortable for them, and because it doesn't do anything it doesn't matter in the air. It's just what is comfortable to you. You need to press the throttle to hit the ball off the wall to get the dribble started, but there's definitely specific timing on when to use the gas because you have to get some distance from you and the ball before you hit it off the wall.

[@Marcelo-il6bu]

@@christianrobinson4526 thank you

[@Grifflicious]

Nope. Not necessary for air dribbles at all. But, if you want to the ceiling with only 41 boost? You will need to use throttle because it helps propel you in the air. Even just slightly, it makes a difference.

[@christianrobinson4526]

@Grifflicious are you sure? I'm almost 100% positive that using throttle in the air doesn't do anything. It would if you're driving on the wall to get to the ceiling but not if you're in the air. Right?

[@scholar8456]

@@christianrobinson4526 if you jump in place, add throttle then release throttle before landing youll find yourself landing more forward than you started. Throttle will propel you forwards and reverse will propel you backwords in the air, if your on PC with bakkes mod you can also make it zero gravity to test this and actually fly around (slowly) in the air with no gravity and just using throttle to propel yourself forward.
