Hitting Hard, Made Easy | How to Play Rocket League

[@leadr_]

Man got a plug-in made just for a video, this is next level content that rocket league needs.

[@mistadude]

I agree, there are so many possibilities

[@balladin9200]

I already know this man will go into details never heard of before for a simple powershot

[@Grifflicious]

This is the way.

[@ResponsePapers]

Wsp im a new sub appreciate the effort🎉🎉

[@iSys31]

Clean power shots are the most satisfying mechanic in rocket league

[@ESGymNo2]

I think this is a very very good training pack for champ and below ranks. With good positioning and being able to hit these shots. Getting to Champ is not a problem

[@balladin9200]

I swear just knowing and applying the physics of this game gets you to gc. Like cutting into the balls momentum for (bounce) dribble, powerslide cut or powerful and high shots. A falling ball is harder to shoot higher so you have to hit it lower (a ball going up is easier for air dribbles and ball at its peak for flip resets). Griff got a Phd in Ball science.

[@Grifflicious]

Just wait till a few videos from now! It's all going to start coming together and I can't wait to show what the endgame is.

[@agumoney9172]

Man, every time I watch one of your tutorials I feel like I learn so much. Thank you for the constant streamlined way that you present information! Do you think that you could do a tutorial on Musty Flicks? Including, if possible, ground, wall, ceiling, and flip resets? I know there are tons of other ones but the way that you present information has always seemed best to me. Either way, thanks for always producing quality videos

[@navrade]

Dude I *love* your analytical, thorough, and progressive (in terms of progression) way of thinking, especially teaching. I've been using your speed flip & DAR videos to train for a while now and have genuinely noticed improvement! I totally agree that understanding something at its core, understanding its fundamentals are crucial (for a brain like mine lol) to get better and learn *how* to get better, learn how to learn in this facet, etc. etc. Appreciate your work here!!

[@Grifflicious]

You're most welcome and thank you so much for that dope response! It's a pleasure and a passion to do these so hearing people get something out of them really fills the cup for me.

[@cablian4533]

Finally a new video by you. And aditionally on a topic that is so important and one im currnetly trying to "master" as many high level players say its one of the most important things. I always found it a bit boring to practice powershots and only used this one workshop map everybody uses. I'm c3 2's c1 1's. And i feel like im not alone on this :) I've always found it hard to translate the practice into the real game because i am not shooting on a net. And that is where you're training pack (i think) will really help me. After palying for a short time i've found you really managed to capture all the basic shots (at least as far as you can brake down all the complex situation that occur in your games). Thank you for that. I hope it really helps to learn to get consistent. I mean your videos on the mawkzy flick (hmm that was so good) and youre speedflip one (you made points nobody else did and they helped pick it up quite quickly) did help me so much so that i'm confident this one will as well :) Im really excited on whats to come although im aware that these kind of videos take a real long time to make. I have a video idea/wish. Maybe you could do occasional update videos where you go over what you learned over the past maybe 2 weeks or so. Maybe pick some topics you will focus on. Get some clips from you doing these mechanics/concepts ingame and then show these mechanics/concepts again when you are ready to do an update video. Always am so glad when youre uploading a new video cause im so into improving and improving my improving. And youre videos are just... great. Sorry ive been goin too long about it. Have a nice day. :)

[@Grifflicious]

Thank you so much for the kind words and the suggestion! I’ll happily log it and see how I can incorporate it into some future content! I’ve got some great stuff coming up and I hope we can keep the growth going!

[@andreherth-zander931]

Im a simple man. I see a Grifflicious video and i like it.

[@alexvadeikis8128]

Nah your coaching is just better, man's is actually next level with it I ain't seen this before. Saying goodbye to diamond now fuck yeah.🎉

[@tobeyyeager5913]

This entire series you've made is wonderful so far, I find myself coming back to it when I feel I need to improve. I took a couple long breaks from this game over the years and I'm happy to see so many hidden gems out there like your channel. It definitely helps the rusty ones like me get back into gear. 🎉 The only struggle I've had "Un-learning" are things such as consistency, rotations and where is the best spot to be in plays, or just in general my car glitching out after flips or flip canceling (like how sometimes in half flips the car won't always cancel, but go the opposite direction, and I'm not talking about a quarter half flip 😂). It's probably just the fact my wifi is 3mbs and i use an old ps4 slim. But if that's not the case, I'm hoping there are ways to prevent such mistakes. Keep up the wonderful videos Griff!!!

[@Theprinceofopposites]

Perfect timing for this upload, I've just started grinding air roll shots! So this is super helpful

[@RR-hl6zi]

I miss The Verge. His videos have helped my playing so much. I hope he's well.

[@Grifflicious]

He seems to be. I believe he’s really focusing on coaching behind the scenes more.

[@dvince0996]

as a 1s main im decent with my ground game and power shots but great tutorial and thanks for the training pack.

[@Grifflicious]

You know, it wasn't until I watched and played more 1s that I really started to focus on this particular aspect of the game more and man, there's nothing that even comes close to how impactful good shooting can be when it's just you and one other person on the field.

[@zacmanxx1643]

Would love a video where you break down wall dashes, your teaching is great

[@Grifflicious]

Part of the next one!

[@Adude-99]

Haven’t even started the video and I know it will be good! So glad I subscribed 😁

[@Grifflicious]

You’re too kind!

[@TrickingFreak97]

Another great video. Can't wait to try this training pack

[@TeddyGoali]

Does anyone have the link for the Halfway dead video mentioned @6:20? What a bro! The man himself updated the description.

[@Grifflicious]

My bad, homie! I just updated the description and it's in there now. Thank you for brining this to my attention!

[@TeddyGoali]

@@Grifflicious you da man

[@Grifflicious]

@@TeddyGoali sincerely, I appreciate you saying something. I had every intention to add it but just forgot. Thank you.

[@itzzmando]

Ofc the goat makes another banger

[@melankoliskkatt4359]

Great video! Would be nice to see how much kph that is normal for every Powershot so one can see what is sufficient :)

[@Idkwhattoputhere...306]

Nc video, but why wasnt the balls physics included in the video?

[@Grifflicious]

To be honest, since this was meant to be a "follow up" to the video Virge did on the same subject, I let his explanation of ball physics live there and not do double work. To that point though, I will eventually make a video on ball physics as it relates to all facets of the game, not just power shots but catches, dribbles, aerials, and more!

[@Idkwhattoputhere...306]

@@Grifflicious Thanks! I Forgot the video was about power shots for a while and Not just shooting in general so its my bad...

[@bltsammich9760]

Thanks!

[@Grifflicious]

Thank you so much!

[@justin-time9630]

Hype! ❤ I just live the details!

[@evanmico]

the plugin doesn't seem to be completely accurate. Sometimes when I really quickly change stick direction before flipping, it doesn't report the correct final stick direction. I think it might not be checking for stick direction frequently enough or something. Otherwise, pretty good video. I feel like you should have gone a bit more in-depth with how far you lean back before you front flip into the shot affects your shot. Like I know that if you lean back way too far then it might not even flip into the correct direction. Basically, how to powershot balls that are just a bit too high to comfortably be powershot. Also, how a shot using stick forward and left/right air roll differs from a powershot that just uses a diagonal stick.

[@Chizinky]

and now i know lmao time to destroy 1s

[@lucageorge]

Let's go!

[@MartinLiskaJr]

could you do a video on best stick setting for rocket league ? Im refering to dualsense edge controller which playstation came out with

[@Grifflicious]

Hmm, I'm not quite sure I'm the guy for that since I use the Dualshock 4 controller. I'm certain there are some general things that could apply to every controller but even Xbox controllers differ in their feel so it's kinda tough to make a "one size fits all" approach to something like that. If you're looking for my settings specifically, I have them in my video description.

[@jacobjean5656]

What speed should the ball be to know that your doing it right.

[@TyCook-s1c]

Mach 7

[@queasyclipsrl]

You should do a rotation and position masterclass video next

[@Grifflicious]

Won't be next but it will come in time. We aren't quite done mastering the "self" yet.

[@queasyclipsrl]

@@Grifflicious you can do it! 👍🏼

[@Pastryarchy]

Thanks

[@Grifflicious]

Thank you so much for this! It means a ton

[@NinjaStoleMyRide]

Shots 7 and 8 aren't quite clear to me. Can you break the steps down? From the video and without knowing your button layout I couldn't quite figure it out.

[@Grifflicious]

Sure. So let's take that visual example of the straight line mass but instead of the middle of the car, angle it so it goes from the front left finder, through the center of mass, to the opposite rear fender. When you do a speed flip, aka, diagonal front flip, this is the where the straight line mass shifts. This is important because it's generating the most amount of speed/power on this line so you have to really drive that line through the ball. Hence why I'm so sidewise when I hit those shots. I'm going to work on a visual and make a short on it. It should help explain how you should be thinking about your flips into the ball the what that timing window looks like.

[@cubby5683]

Do you recommend square deadzone? I heard it is great for controlling flip cancels

[@Grifflicious]

I don't but that's to each their own honestly. Square has more of a KBM level of feel/control which is great for the 4 cardinal directions of inputs but it makes the finer, in between inputs a little more difficult to control. Naturally, this is something you can learn to control and compensate but I went down a deadzone/sense rabbit hole a couple months back and eventually came back to default (Cross) since it was the most well rounded.

[@ripit.3457]

If you’re going for crazy clips in competitive, I’d highly recommend square deadzone. however, for the average player/ranked grinder I really wouldn’t recommend it.

[@MBlayze]

not sure i know what i'm doing wrong with shots 7&8. Can you give more clarity? Am I speed flipping into the ball?

[@luizhenriqueciscotosiqueir1858]

[@thebulletkin8393]

Do you think there is anything that you lose out on by playing keyboard? It’s the input I feel most comfortable with but I’m seeing how you can use the analog nature of the sticks for a more precise dodge angle, what do you reckon?

[@Grifflicious]

Eh, if you loose anything, it isn't much. Honestly, it would just come down to more intentional setups.

[@RabbitRayy]

any kbm players also struggling with shot 7+8? it feels impossible to get the right angle + speed the best i can do is get it on the goal line..

[@ljungrex1675]

Go from an angle when doing those kind of shots. Kinda like how speed flip on kbm you need to turn to the side before flipping.

[@heddshot87]

Way too much talking, it's just tiring. Not saying it to be a hater, I subbed and after a while unsubbed because of this, just feedback.

[@Grifflicious]

Appreciate the feedback. I'm working on a wall to air video atm and I'm taking a different approach. Really trying to "cut the fat" in my content. Hopefully, It's worth getting your sub back! I know i have a tendency to get a little deep into the minutia so seeing this kind of comment is more helpful than you realize.

[@SpycyMayo]

@@Grifflicious personally you deep diving into exactly what’s going on with the ball and the car helps me a lot and it’s really helped me understand what I’m doing right and wrong when trying to power shot I love your videos man they’re helping me so much as a returning player who hasn’t played in years I think I can really get back into rocket league now
