Rocket League: Air Roll Tutorial For Keyboard and Mouse players

[@timjohansson1407]

so what i learned in free play is: Air roll left and holding (D+S) keys makes your car face towards the left with upwards momentum. Air roll left and holding ( A+S) keys, also makes your car face towards the left however it makes your cars momentum downwards to the ground, due to the 'A' key. (The 'S' key) is what makes your car face towards the left, and the W key does the opposite (right direction). So holding down air roll left and (W+D) faces the car slightly to the right with upwards momentum, (A+W) also gets you towards the right, but with the momentum facing downwards. The 'A' key is most usefull when your wheels faces the ceiling, because it gives you upwards momentum. Hope someone finds this usefull!

thankyou this was really helpful :)

[@danielsgamer_101sk.8]

thanks man i understand this more clearly thank you

[@momotion2289]

wow! thanks!

[@dahdor]

Thank you, I apply this when I air roll, but I didn't know the theory, so I took longer to learn air roll. But I have a problem. When I want to use air roll left and holding (D+S) or (W+D) I have no problem, but when I use it with (A+S) or (A+W) the car just ignores the third key I press. For example, I use air roll left holding (A+S), if I press (A) first, the car just does the spoonie movement, and if I press (S) first, it just tilts left. Someone has a solution?

[@danle6853]

Is there any way to keep camera locked? I mean, wherever car is facing, is i press D then it goes to the right?

As a player that uses the keyboard and mouse, this is already a very helpful guide even if knowledge or muscle memory can't be imparted. Searching for a keyboard and mouse aerial guide for so long, I think you helped me a lot considering most keyboard and mouse aerial guides are either very old or mostly for the controller users. Really appreciate the time and effort you put in to make this as up-to-date as possible guide for players like myself!

Great tutorial man, because of your air dribble tut I learned it. Next time put in de training pack code in the desc tho

[@allan293-f8c]

Hi. Thank you for your video! "Trying to incorporate" How is this? I mean, I can make any ring map pretty good with good air roll, but when it comes to hitting the ball, mostly like 15% of balls are going to be hit. How can I incorporate what I am doing on rings, to hit the ball?

[@PiuRL]

My exact problem, I come from air roll with 3k hours and last month I started learning air roll left and I mastered all the rings maps but I can't hit the ball in the spot I want to, did you come around to improve? Honestly, I'm thinking of going back to normal air roll despite it being inferior.

[@allan293-f8c]

@@PiuRL Hi. Starting to get a little more consistent but didn't trained to much in the last month. I just left rings map completely and started to do custom trainings/aerials and trying to hit the ball first. After that, I started to try hitting the ball in the right spot with easy custom trainings for aerials. Still, cannot do all the time in a ranked game, still lost in my normal aerials, but we need to try to incorporate this even if we fail. How can we grow if we are only train and in the real game we are not incorporate something? One the best way to train this is to do Wall to Air Dribble custom training. You will fail a lot with the air roll left but after many attempts you will get there to hit the ball at least correctly and try to push into the goal. Repeat, first time try to just hit the ball and then after many tries, try to set the ball on the correct way into the goal.

[@TheTwiixy]

Thanks for the good content Comic, i was waiting for this vid

[@C4sprr]

You make me feel good about this while watching i even did a areal and scored! !

[@arandomperson519]

how you use press WASD while holding Q/E?

[@MrComicallyBad]

Well it’s usually a combination of 2 buttons or so. I don’t always hold q and d. Most the time I will do q and d and then switch to q and s to lean more upwards or something similar. It’s all just muscle memory for me at this point

[@Caldreth]

I notice when you are air rolling with Q you are almost never using the A key. That's good to know because I've found when using the ring finger to hold down Q makes it hard for any other finger to hit A. I use my middle finger for hitting W and S and Index finger for D. Is that what you do, or do you use your index finger for S?

[@hectorarieljaworsky7359]

same dude

[@MrComicallyBad]

Yeah clicking a is hard for me when I’m rotating. I use my ring finger for a and q. But since I always hold q in the air I can only then hold s or d using my middle and pointer finger or else I’d be crossing my fingers lol. So each finger has 2 keys. For my pinky it’s shift and Ctrl since my reset shot in free play is ctrl. My ring finger is a and q. Mainly q. Only a when I’m on the ground. Middle finger is w and s. And pointer is e and d and I never use e because that feels awkward also. I’m not really good with my left hand. Like piano for example. Could never play. My pointer finger on my left hand I like can’t do more than 1 thing or I get confused lmfao. So e is too confusing for me. So only q and d in the air works for my brain. Sorry I never responded earlier

[@MrComicallyBad]

And my thumb is also the same way so I of course only use space bar for ball cam. If you ever see my click e it’s either me being fat fingered or I very rarely will be able to comprehend e is rotate left. If I need to make a shot from the right. You will almost always see me instead of press e to rotate left and then front flip to make it go left. I will instead, hold q and d, until I’ve made almost a 180° spin so I’d be at the same rotation as if I just held e. Wish I could use e but my brain doesn’t work that way 😂

[@balakethedog]

I was curious if maybe you could do another video on this that is maybe a little less convoluted? As a keyboard and mouse player this is the only tutorial out there. I feel like you're just saying, you don't need to air roll over and over again, I understand that and I've been making shots without air roll for years, but the reason I'm here is for what exact buttons in what car position does what. That would be amazing! I'm not ragging on you btw, I'm happy that there is a video at least.

i wonder how do you do when air roll left with q to turne left since you cant press a

[@PhoenixFury-fu5qn]

This might be a little late to comment, but I would love for you to do a video, not nessicarily a tutorial, on the various 2-key and 3-key combinations, examples being, "Which way to you spin while holding Q/E and D, or while holding Q/E and S with D, and all the keys for that matter?" I've found that if you give people building blocks to work with (especially with kb & m as there are not a lot of tutorials out there on this), they can progress much faster. Even though, once you get really good, its all about muscle memory, its good to know that pressing E and A at the same time will send you more backward if you are pointed straight up, and pressing E and D will send you more forward. Idk, this might be intresting to make a video on. P.S, thoughts on the keyboard settings such as Keyboard Input Acceleration Time, and Keyboard Aerial Safety.

[@nebula8763]

I can complete rings maps relatively easily while holding air roll but I cannot transfer this skill to aerials or air dribbles. Any tips?

[@darryl9427]

use bakkesmod and go into free play. turn the game speed to like 0,8 or 0,6 and keep trying

[@maidenless.]

may i ask you something? have you enabled the keyboard safety option or its disabled?

[@MrComicallyBad]

Disabled

[@titi3736]

I use thumb mouse 1 and 2 for air rolling right and left I though it would be a good idea at first so it could free my left hand finger to do other sutff, but it makes them hard to press them consecutively very fast (coz only my thumb can) right now it's not a problem coz I just use it for half flip and recoveries and sometimes adjust the point of impact of the ball but can it be a problem later on for more complex mechanics ?

if i use q will i ever have to press a at the same time.

[@CoDModzFTW]

Great video man, just subbed. Been trying to learn on my own without the help of any videos, but I've been struggling. What do you think about binding the air roll buttons to your mouse? I have air roll right on the bottom and air roll left on the top. I feel like sometimes its confusing when trying to use A & D to counteract the left and right air roll movement when the mouse buttons are up and down rather than left and right. Would it just be a muscle memory thing that I should just try and kink out? Sorry if that's confusing at all, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Plat 1 if that helps

Q and E only. When I hold shift in the air, it’s usually for recovery. I’m so used to getting bumped and landing on the wall or ceiling weird. As well, going for ceiling shots and stuff, you sometimes needa hold drift, so that’s another reason

Hey, I have around 3k hours on normal air roll and am practicing this mechanic every day for over a month now, I've mastered all the rings maps but I just can't hit aerials as good as before, I can't twist my car to the right spot before hitting the ball, any tips on this?

[@dahdor]

I think you already know it as 11 months have passed, but it's just a matter of practice. Sudden aerials training packs helped me a lot, I recommend those because they put you in a realistic situation as you have to touch the boost that is in front first and hit the ball before the last "beep". Pro-players use them a lot because they are difficult af. I hope it helps

[@PiuRL]

@@dahdor Yeah I know it now, but I had to change two things. I noticed that how I was doing it, I needed to hit A sometimes for positioning purposes aka reverse tornado, so I started doing that but then, I needed to change the air roll left key from Q to mouse thumb since I couldn't really have all those fingers in the wasd area. Now I feel like I need to learn air roll left to really master it like evample but I don't want to ahah

[@dahdor]

@@PiuRL lmaooo. Yeah, that spoonie movement is SOOO useful. It helps to make soft touches, flip resets, recoveries, to get nearer to the ball, and the list goes on. I do it pressing Q and A at the same time with my ring finger. It was really hard to master, but now I have a consistent control at the air. I also learned that it's not necessary to always air roll. Instead, I use it only when i need it. That tip skyrocketed me from diamond 2 to champ 1/2 in 3s and 2s. I hope it helps.
