[@lordz_mk]

i did a trick and i posted it in my channel its a trick where it help thro ot when an enemy is camping goal it will get them by surprise bc i dont think anyone used it i have it in my channel if ur cool with it can u check it out bc am not sure what to call it but its kind of useful when someone is just at goal defending

[@Sacred.29]

For the last one, for beginners or intermediate players, you can put on the 180 flip in your setting, it's called single press air turn in accessibility so when you tap the top right of your screen (if on touch, in controller, you press LB once) you can do a 180 flip, like a halfway flip instead of constantly flipping like the joystick air roll does, it takes a lot of time and practice to master and get really good at it and do it faster but it's a really good way to get unlimited flips and get your boost back

[@Alphamalesigma993]

Soooooooo true

Literally everyone does it with 180 flip 😂😂

How to do that in touch?

[@nuglar8239]

@@ManuMitraan not possible

[@tray9352]

@@ManuMitraan u can leave ur joystick when ur wheels touch the ball and jump

[@nastynation2639]

You can do the same idea but easier with a gold shot up into the air by first popping it up a bit and then quickly gold shotting it up to increase height rather than the insanely complicated purple flick.

[@BIG-qn6ed]

@@ManuMitraan now you can do it, and faster bcuz you can flip 180 degrees with a single tap in a blank space. You have to enable it in settings. Probably faster than air rolling.

[@Luizfernando-dm2rf]

Important tip: To get your boost/flip to reset you don't have to touch your wheels on the ball, just the center of your hitbox. That's very important for cars like the Scarab, where the point you have to use is just behind the front-wheels not right in the middle of the model.

[@nastynation2639]

That’s true for normal rl but for sideswipe it has to be the four wheels at the same time

[@utliscarletaaron6287]

No you can use front or back wheels.

[@utliscarletaaron6287]

@@nastynation2639 thats way wring stop giving misinformation. Normal rl is all wheels this game is half wheels.

[@makadi020]

you can also use the back wheels (or slightly above it). works all the time :D

[@octoni9456]

@@utliscarletaaron6287 bull shit lol

[@graphixkillzzz]

you can also air roll by double tapping anywhere on the right side of the screen that is blank (ie: there is no button or element in that spot)

[@antoniocampen]

if you double tap you only air roll 180 degrees but i think its a bit faster so the spacing is different

[@laserlorin4080]

i think he plays contollert

[@gYeahh]

LT/L2 on controller

[@BIG-qn6ed]

Single tap now through settings

[@Zyphlyx]

@Antonio Campen if you hold your finger on the screen, you will keep air rolling and you can direct where you are going by moving your finger any direction

[@carlosmengs]

Great video, I'm definitely trying to learn them all.

[@thabotuso3084]

ty sm bro i subbed this helped alot!

[@mythic369]

Just a correction of the flip resets. You don't have to be air rolling, just upsidedown so if you use the tap to air roll once on touch you can just do that. Also, you can get the reset from further away while right side up. Correct me if I'm wrong

[@jordon-raestewart2189]

Ive been doing manual flicks on purpose with out knowing the name

[@leetptato]

good on you buddy

[@Sheryar1468]

I had same thing but with the wave dash lmao

[@Zyphlyx]

Yeah I’ve learned some of these mechanics on my own without getting the name

[@ohroaruh0665]

I just called them mustys because all i did was musty whrn i did

[@Microster]

You can airroll by going into the settings and control customization and adding airroll as a button, and on controller, LT (flip car) can be done by going into settings, "Accessibility" and enabling "Single Press Air Turns" which will make you flip your car if you press on an empty space on the screen. Accessibility settings have some cool things in there btw you should check it out

[@Julian-qs8xq]

Very helpful. Been stuck in plat 3/4 in 1s

[@carmangaming]

I have been doing manual flicks when I am in the air with no boost or jumps and the ball is there, I usually hit it with a musty and then face my car up. I do that so that if a defender blocks it, it will bounce off of my car AND give me a flip reset. It also keeps your car in the air longer. I will also mustyand them double tap.

[@xertye9298]

That could be even more effective using that to go into anything also you could use it for a purple shot and go for an unexpected shot

[@ajsoto4951]

I love using the manual flick usually I do a musty flick which catches them off guard and I can hit it over them

[@drenbuqa3436]

Why you charging your phone when it’s 100%😂

[@Greenlight109]

Dang I didn't know you where this cracked

[@metasamsara]

I do manual musty kickoffs but it didnt occur to me to use it fast to fake using my flip. I had one accidental boost flip reset once too it felt amazing haha. My big struggle is flicking up with a small amount of horizontal space. I hate how the map in 1s keeps switching from low to high, it fucks with my muscle memory. Oh and for the reset stall, have you considered using L1 instead of L2? It does a half flip instantly, it can be easier to time than the air roll I find.

[@sakred5724]

If u do that boost reset then tap flip for purple shot... its op.. yur constantly reseting while purple shooting

Bro you have made me rage many times I have played with earlier

[@qgent2850]

if you go into air roll mid way into the kickoff and flip backwards 0.1 second before hitting it, it will always send the ball up on your enemies side. (works for me in diamond 2)

[@ImAquaa]

good tip kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZKoomCdjZear9E

[@aibot-1]

The air roll stall is good on dunk house 👍

[@olabadran8153]

The thing he doesn’t say as you try to make the purple shot which really made me go into many losses because when you do a purple shot or a purple flick (only on controller, I don’t really know if it can be done in touch) as all of you’re wheels touch the ball, you stop moving and then jump/press A

[@Rdg-bg9vr]

The gold shot is really good for kickoffs when opponents fake. Like pinch it into the ground

[@redpandaclips.]

i learned how to do the ceiling stall/shuffle/dash by myself. i was experimenting after playing for about a day and i wondered what would happen if you jump/ flip repeatedly on the ceiling. i did it and i thought i made a new mechanic lol

This is the first time i watch anyone play sideswipe, much less a tutorial, and I've been doing that for a while too. Came to find out what the gold and purple shots were

[@dhruvkhanna4100]

Manual flick was so good

[@cheapcheese.]

On touch, you need to only tap on the right side twice (not the jump or boost buttons) to quick flip. You also only need to be upside down to flip reset while flipping onto the ball. You can do flip reset while doing a normal flip but it's much harder, but allows you to reset your flips after flipping into the ball from much further away

[@rafaelbento2011]

Nice.

You can use half airroll for stall chains.

[@killmesecond294]

one thing on the purple shot for touch players u also have to let go of the joystick or it wont do a purple shot

[@AGenericEgg]

Another word for air roll stall is turbo reset and a better way to do it is to double tap joystick then jump

[@CarbonFeber]

Highly suggest doing purple flicks by just jumping turn your car over by tapping anywhere that’s not a button and jumping again

[@RyeR9]

I already knew the purple flick ceiling dash and pinch

[@eclipse1565]

for flip resets you just do a stall reset. Its much easier and requires less space. you should do it by pressing air roll and jump at the same time while under the ball and then its super easy.

[@bestname6669]

unless you are using touch

[@lexoland3844]

Can you tell me the benifits or drawbacks of air rolling? I always tend to air roll without knowing if its helping me or slowing me down or no effect

[@sidestriped804]

air roll creates softer touches on the ball which can help with control but not with power. It's also very useful when trying to get flip resets like I've shown in this video. Try out air dribbling in freeplay with both air roll and no air roll to see the touch difference

[@knox3309]

@@sidestriped804 exactly. Mogz made a video showing that air roll does nothing for aerials and air dribbles but I think that is false.

[@-caspo-]

Great video but you don’t actually have to touch the ball with all four wheels to do a purple shot. You don’t have to touch it at all, in fact, and the same goes for the gold shot. You just need to be right next to the ball. However, touching the ball before you do either a purple or a gold shot can give it some momentum before you shoot which will make your shot more powerful. So you don’t have to touch the ball but you will often want to.
