How to NEVER LOSE A KICKOFF in RL Sideswipe

Here's my explanation on how to effectively do your kickoffs in Rocket League Sideswipe! As of making this I am the #1 player globally for 2s, but I'm sure that won't stay for long. Whatever the case, I have been asked many times to make a video on how to kickoff, so here it is.

I think of KZbin as such a toxic place sometimes but then I see videos like this and comments like this 😊 amazing video man keep it up 👍

[@Leo-mh5mf]

You should try twitter

[@smoothieofmemes3429]

I've never thought youtube has been toxic place. Only twitter but I guess depends the yts u watch

[@stevensanchez1192]

Honestly KZbin is one of the least toxic places. People don't give KZbin enough credit for keeping order around.

[@marshallshipton1151]

I agree

[@YzuAiha]

I think you are on the wrong side if KZbin, here the comments are just mostly memes.

[@aim8.]

Cheers, this helped. Currently in gold 1 on duels and gold 4 on doubles, so I'll try to apply these tips. Keep it up bro Edit: For those who are wondering, as of season 1 I am plat 1 in Duels, plat 2 in Doubles and gold 1 in Hoops. To be updated I guess Edit 2: Plat 4 in duels, Diamond 1 in doubles and plat 3 in hoops :)

[@Mogzrl]

Question dude - is Controller objectively superior to using the touch screen on the phone?

[@FinRL]

Not really, like they are in many ways the same. Several GC players are on touch, and it's absolutely competitive. Most people play touch ,but some like myself just prefer the controller

[@Mogzrl]

@@FinRL ah good to know thanks brotha! was wondering whether I should make the switch to controller earlier (prob better than later) if its def better. But yeh.. might just stick with touch. thanks dude

[@jackocano3824]

Nice vid! Is airrolling essential in sideswipe?

[@FinRL]

The 180 degree spin is certainly useful for when you are going for a reset or just need a slightly different touch on the ball, but the full on air rolling is basically just style points. In theory it can be practical because of the extra movement but nobody is refined enough yet for that to make a real difference. I would personally recommend not bothering with it, especially on touch, until you are solid with just normal air dribbles and chain resets and stuff

[@jackocano3824]

Ok thanks!

[@Xonoriuss]

hey I was wondering if you could make a video about the linking accounts for xp

How do u switch fly up and down

[@2aalu]

i am in gold 2 and i cant Even pick up the ball from ground there's not much info on the yt for it and i keep missing free net goals even and literally most of the KZbinrs are playing with controllers 🗿 ..

[@Tumnaexe]

Do you flip in the first kickoff

[@FinRL]

yes you just do a basic front flip, gets a solid 50 and makes sure you dont go flying!

[@jakezimmer7256]

So its not about the kickoff, its about abusing the use of a controller

[@shmarc578]

What about the kickoffs whare the ball just gos strate at the gole and the other player doesn't have the opportunity to do everything

[@bigdawgnate2953]

What do you think is the best way to warm up or practice?

[@berendvdburgh5910]

Tnx man! The only one with a good expl LOL

[@3ricThompson]

What if we’re actually playing on mobile and not using a controller which is the whole point of it being mobile not to use a controller

[@FinRL]

The game is made specifically with controller in mind. Touch is basically the exact same except virtual joystick and buttons instead of physical. Some of the top players are on touch.

[@St4rStormy]

Do you ever need to use the air roll?

[@manret7357]

rn im a plat 5 so idk if this works in higher ranks...but i usually stay back(with the occasional full send to not let them predict what i do) and when i do stay back....ill stay on the ground...and if the ball doesnt fly up and stays on the ground...i hit it without flipping or anything and itll fly up hopefully towards the goal...im a very defensive player so i dont think itll work in higher ranks but its been pretty good to me

Thank you very much

Is spinning actually useful? If so what are the pros and cons?

Would anyone know why when I use a controller, my boost holds down on its own a sometimes it doesn’t jump

[@tphillysyt5269]

And how to fix it

[@FinRL]

I've seen a couple people talk about this, but I get the feeling its actually a physical controller issue. I guess its also possible if your device is laggy that it doesnt detect you lifting the button, but I'm not sure. I haven't had it happen to me personally.

It works well in lower ranks, but you'll want to phase it out for higher level games. I've been using this kickoff my entire time playing the game without issues, so of course I'll be recommending it, but pancake would work in like plat and below I guess
