Someone just discovered another new mechanic...

A Japanese Rocket League player named Fetelix accidentally discovered a brand new competitive mechanic just a few weeks ago. The community has dubbed it the "Lix Jump". It's a way to jump off the wall while retaining your dodge for an infinite amount of time. Something that has never been achieved before in Rocket League.

I really thought there were no more new competitive Rocket League mechanics. I was wrong. If the Lix Jump gets perfected, it will surely make it's way into RLCS given a good amount of time. I think it will be a while before it's implemented regularly in pro gameplay if it ever even gets to that point. However, I do indeed believe that the Lix Jump will be used by pro Rocket League players at some point. It's just so useful and players have already proven that it can be done in a way that is useful competitively. It's just a matter of how long it takes for these players to get it consistent. To know that for sure, only time will tell.

I find new mechanics all the time. The one I'm especially proud of is called lose control of your aerial as soon as you leave the wall and crash in the least graceful way possible.

[@mememaster8050]

Oh man I did not copyright it but I've been performing that mechanic all the time, I promise

[@Deadeye2055]

Bro for real 😂... I wonder who first invented the "graceful flop" lmfao

[@THEfailer993]

maybe i am wrong but the main point is that this mechanic let's you have a "flip reset" without the ball. so there could be interesting team plays where a player prepares his flip reset and the ball comes to him through a passage from his teammate

[@joelzabik1341]

Yes, you can already do that from the ceiling but this not only ads another option but you can keep your altitude better with less boost possibly with this instead

[@proggigs]

I still don't get why you have a flip reset from the wall? What's going on? It doesn't work like that if you just jump off the wall regularly

[@jnevercast]

@@proggigs you're side flipping on the wall but you don't leave it immediately, your wheels hit the wall, resetting your flip, and then the momentum and collision kicks you off the wall. So you've completed the dodge and landed on the wall again and then get ejected. That's how it looks when I watch the slowmo anyway

[@REDHOTFANG]

@@proggigs it's like a ceiling reset but from a wall.. u bounce off the wall using a curve dash. Since the wheels touch the wall before u bounce u still have a flip.

[@extenos]

so basically just fast ceiling shot

[@tino_-td7ok]

It’s insane that a mechanic like this hasn’t been discovered for 7 years it seems like a pretty obvious one if you know about the curve dash. That’s what I love about this game I think in another 7 years there will still be new mechanics. Great video Wayton!

[@-jfk2306]

I don't know if this is something new or if it is way too impractical but when doing wave dashes for fun i accidentally failed it while holding the left stick in either the left or right direction. This resulted in a very fast turn to the side, sometimes even all the way round. It is super hard, if not impossible to control and i don't know if it's useful or if it maybe is already discovered, idk. Ig you could call it the wave dash fail or something

[@locke_ytb]

@@-jfk2306 I think I know what you're talking about. It's like you do a 180 degree when only 2 wheels are touching the ground all while mid flip. I think Freestylers do that mechanic. They do like a forward wavedash but the car tiptoes with its nose, a 180 ballerina spin, and a backflip flick.

[@WaytonPilkin]

For those claiming this isn’t new: Yes I did research before making this video lol. I know there are mechanics like the “Roll Reset” and the “Hel Jump”. Those mechanics were discovered years ago but never caught on because they’re just too slow or can only be done in situations where it just doesn’t make sense to. The Lix Jump is indeed completely new. The inputs and movements are different, the end result is different, and the viability is different. It’s not a modification of something that already exists. If you think you remember seeing a clip of you or someone doing it long before, feel free to DM me a link to that clip on twitter (@WaytonPilkin). If you can’t find the link, you must have misremembered and are probably thinking of a different mechanic. As long as this pinned comment remains here, that means no one has sent me an actual clip of the Lix Jump being performed before the original clip from Fetelix a few weeks ago. There are A LOT of you in the comments already saying you’ve done this before or you’ve seen someone doing this before. I am extremely confident you haven’t but I will openly admit when I am wrong. I’ll edit this pinned comment if I am proven wrong.

[@ragegaze3482]

This mechanic looks pretty insane for sure. Especially for lower ranked players who won't have the car control to do flip resets in the first place. This one seems like as long as you have the control to air dribble you can use it effectively. And I agree, I doubt people could do that on accident very easily since it has the sideflip involved. I'm sure many have done the first part where your wheels lean off the wall from jumping too early though.

[@mlgklipz2543]

[@ghoulfex7845]

never used in RLCS tho

[@cards1160]

I guarantee that this mechanic will be used in RLCS before the end spring split, this year. I think everyone is vastly underestimating the value of always having your flip, not just for the shot itself but also for passing from the air dribble or fake potential. This could force defenses to completely change how they defend shots off the wall. For example, you could get the lix jump and have your flip, then fake going for a flip reset to make the defender think you don’t have a flip, then just use a flip and hit it right over or under them. If this starts getting used in that way where the vulnerable period is very short and it looks like a normal air dribble setup, defenders will have to start assuming that any player in the air after setting up a wall air dribble will always have a flip at all times, that is so much harder to defend than knowing they have to go for a flip reset to gain another flip.

[@cc3]

I was thinking the same. At my rank (champ) I would not be able to distinguish this from a regular air dribble

[@5p3nce41]

Also defenders can prejump a lot earlier off the back or side walls and have that flip to challenge/recover

[@FelixFR.]

Quote from Alpha54 on stream: “I beg you to not learn this mechanic. You are wasting your time. Focus on actual gameplay.” This mechanic is useless at high level.

[@RewindMods]

I don't agree. It's going to end up with the same "issue" as something like an on the car ground dribble. As it stands now, it's suuuuuper obvious you have your flip if you go for this setup so a good defender is just going to instant challenge and let his other teammates handle it if he doesn't connect. No high level player is going to sit around and wait for you to catch up to the ball with 50 boost before they challenge. Not to mention there's less aerial outplay potential because you'll have less boost than a regular air dribble even with the addition of a regular flip reset since just going for a regular one really doesn't consume that much boost if any depending on how you go for it. That being said I think the freestyling community will have a lot of fun with this though.

[@TradeMarkSky]

It will definitely be used in top 10 leaderboards for 1s and 2s. The pro scene is too fast and to actually have the time to pull it off would be impossible to get.

You're hearing that from SSLs that learned to flip reset when they were still in Champ/GC. This is not going to be easier than flip resets to learn, they're just learning it at a point where they're way better at the game already.

[@chacesimmons7684]

The fact that cool mechanics like this can still be discovered makes me so happy

[@carlos7mh]

This mechanic also allows a teammate to maintain a flip/dodge available indefinitely, even away from the ball. So imagine a set up where the ball is boomed forward, the teammate reads it, Lix jumps from the wall early and keeps the flip up until the moment it’s needed to shoot on goal.

[@MRMIXX700]

u technically could already do that with a ceiling reset

[@dhkenbbushiest2843]

Often you don’t need to get a reset cause you would still have your flip and if it’s far away and you do a lix jump off the wall to redirect it’s best to just normally jump of the wall than to have a extra flip cause lix jump will slow you down to arrive at the ball. That being said it does look good for air dribbles

[@-axn-]

This is HUGE! I just got my flip resets halfway decent but this is on another level. For a defender that is a bit further back and doesn't see the setup or doesn't even know about this it's basically impossible to defend as you just expect an air dribble.

This is legitimately game breaking. Having a second flip is something we have all wished we could have. But now the offensive has so much more power over defense this it's going to be crazy hard to defend once the dribble starts.

[@danimal4691]

Then learn it and level the playing field. Your goal is to play as little defense as possible. In my rank (low gc) you very rarely have a chance to set something up off the wall. Ever since air dribbling became a thing players do everything in their power to meet that ball on the wall before they ever have the chance to set up a shot.

[@Ramzan69]

Every freestyler watching this: *write that down, write that down*

[@zingthegnar]

IMO talk about the "vulnerability" at the start isnt a bad thing about the mechanic. It just means that you have the opportunity for mix-ups now. If they challenge early, then stay with the ball for a normal air dribble. If they dont challenge early, then go for a Lix jump

[@woomination8625]

This mechanic is really tough to learn due to the small timing gap you get to perform it but it isn't impossible since I can get it as well. However I do notice that if your airdribble control is a lot better (So being able to air dribble for longer distance and height) it will make the catch after you performed the trick a ton easier since you would know how to recover from a potential low ball and still make great use out of it whenever you want to. Anyway, this trick will be used very often in the future in the comp and freestyle sections of this game and might become just as dangerous as a simple flip reset so yes, I recommend to learn the trick but I would also recommend to improve air dribble skills as well since that skill can also help out with this mechanic a bunch

[@tylerdean8354]

If you flip the opposite side of the wall (if you’re on the left wall and flip right) you still get the reset and you also throw yourself much closer to the ball and eliminate that time completely closing the gap on an early challenge. It basically changes that initial weird hop into more of a sling you to the ball.

[@josuaernst6832]

Great video, I'm definitely going to try that! I don't think this mechanic is a totally new discovery because of the HEL jump. Also Lawler stated this in his video about this mechanic if you haven't seen it.

[@jimjimsauce]

this is the equivalent to getting a new weapon in shooter game holy crap! super stoked to give this a try. also i think a big part of this mechanic will be used in competitive, because right now a lot of people are making solo plays with the ball. imagine just doing a lix jump off the wall to hit a shot from a pass or just keep your jump in your aerial! the possibilities are endless

[@thesloth_r4m157]

Even if the Lix Jump would be slower in every way than a flip reset, I think it adds another level of unpredictability to everyones gameplay and can catch players off guard or make them at least question whether you will go for this while challenging or a defender in net will have to think about whether you got the reset or not. I think this will definitely affect competitive gameplay in some way because unpredictability is the meta right now. Just look how Team Queso won the EU regional or BDS the LAN, both of their opponents where questioning how they should predict what those teams were about to go for

I think this might be a great mechanic for mid air commits, 50/50s or passes by your mates because the focus while getting up isn't really on you and you might get a big advantage by having a flip there.

[@kiarimoyes1294]

Holy crap someone figured it out! I somehow pulled one of these in a game like 6 months ago, it confused me greatly at the time because I didn't realize I'd still had a flip and it actually cost me the goal. My switch wasn't saving replays at the time, and I've been trying to figure out how/what actually happened ever since.

[@connorking984]

yeah with stuff like this i wouldn't be surprised if people did this all the time in rocket league history but didn't use the flip or didn't wait long enough for it to expire normally or just obviously didn't notice but it makes you wonder. It's not that complicated of a set up someone could probably just do it by accident somewhat easily

[@sadlife5300]

I feel like everyone is missing sth really huge here. No matter if u really HAVE the flip or not, as a defender its gonna be a nightmare to defend this. Imagine u see someone going off the wall "funny" and you're like "does he have it?" u start to hesitate and boom, he doesnt have a flip but u waited and he just scored a normal air dribble or at least beat you because u adjusted ur line to a Lix-Jump..I feel like thats the real power of this mechanic

[@TristenGrey]

Damn. So true.

[@Flaxify]

this is really hard to defend like an air dribble. the reason we can defend an air dribble is because the motion is locked you cant just speed it up more then possible. if you read this like an air dribble its going above your front if you try to correct it so you also cover your front, your back is completely vulnerable. if it does get consistent this is going to be a nightmare to defend indeed

[@sadlife5300]

@@Flaxify I dont think it has to be consistent. If it happens here and there, u start to hesitate and get outplayed. U cant rush it because the attacker can just flip into it and it goes above u and he can even flip into it to hit it straight down, u are just fucked. Especially 2s will be an absolut shitfest once this mechanic hits the casuals

[@AleksHugs]

Very good point. Even if pros can only get it like 20% of the time, the defender still has to wonder if they have it. It only takes a second of hesitation to cause a defensive mistake. If someone hits even one of these in a series, the defense could be shook on air dribbles for the rest of the matches

This mechanic is broken. The defence will be much harder since most of the players will learn it. And there is no problem about consistency. Because every mechanic u learn, u start feeling, like driving the vehicle. Perfect example of this is the flip reset. Since u trained it enough u can pull it off as u wish without paying attention on the set up touch or controlling your car properly. So I think this season will be in the history of RL.

[@ruohos]

It will be very powerful used correctly, but not broken. It has the moment of weakness just like flip reset does, and the more popular it gets the more people are going to recognize when someone is going for it and know what to do. Like with flip resets.

[@user-zo4vg7ou5t]

@@ruohos about the weakness. Yes the new mechanic has it but u dont know when the player will go for it. From the wall he can go for a ceiling shot or air dribble. So u cannot predict if he is going for it or not if compare to flip resets. May be I'm at low lvl of rating (just hitted gc1), but I do think so. And after that, if he went for it, he can see if some1 challange or not. So he can flip the ball pass him or make a pass or stick close to it and 50 or fake some1. So I think it has no weakness. May be u r right because I dont know how it'll be in reality. So time will show.

I can see it having defensive utility. One defence against ceiling shots and flip resents is to drive up to the ceiling and have your own flip ready to counter. The problem is you are always approaching the attacker from above. Now you can approach from high or low.

[@MGArtDZN]

This can be game-changing since you can get a flip-reset without doing it the classic way touching the ball

You can use it as a passing play as well, you the pop of the wall your tm8 will be on que wall behind you he does the arial off the wall and the third tm8 can do bump plays on the groun or reseve a pas from the arial taht the first tm8 can do with an arial

[@halfhonest]

I believe I found a way to reduce the initial pop off the wall when you jump. Ironically, holding the jump button longer instead of tapping it (along with proper timing) you can reduce your front tires popping off the wall and might be able to get the side flip (I haven't managed one yet, but I did a concept with checkpoint manager and so long as your wheels have left the wall even a little bit, you can do this reset). Reducing the pop off the wall with your front tires let's you flip sooner and have to do less recovery mechanics to get to the ball. I'm going to keep experimenting on it and showing a progression of it especially if I get one. Edit: about 45 minutes after posting this, I got one that if I had been under the ball, would've popped the ball off the wall AT THE SAME TIME I did the Lix jump, resulting in absolutely no downtime for recovery. Even without being under the ball, I did the Lix jump and touched the ball, I just didn't hit the ball with the front of my car. Gonna work on the video for it rn showing my progression.

I stopped playing RL for like 2 years and came back to see a few people do this move on me and it confused tf outta me as to how they had their dodge still up. This video made me realize what they were doing lol

[@imaginefr]

I have only done it by accident before it was posted and I feel like many other people done it aswell but didn’t see it as a new mechanic

[@KenoxProductions]

This is why I want to see something like OpenAI Five (from Dota2) in RL. Or something like TAS in speedrunning. Imagine what a bot could discover. I mean, most of it probably wouldn't be humanly possible, but it would still be interesting to see what peak RL performance/mechanics looks like.

“Almost no risk if you messing up an air dribble”... ME: hold my kombucha...

[@doomphd5916]

I've been messing with this. Hold air roll when you side flip and don't let go of air roll. For me it's gotten rid of the upside down stall moment. You just kinda launch nose up spinning.

Thanks Wayton! Can't wait to jump in and give this a try. Go Broncos!

[@JohnyBoi369]

Congrats on reaching 400k 🎉🎉

[@sprainedankle6264]

If you use this mechanic but instead of side flipping just use the wave dash going up the wall and it makes for a solic reset setup. Discoverd on accident tryna do this.

[@popu1722]

Nice video. Without you i wouldnt have know about it thanks wayton😄👍

[@joshuaallred5208]

I can mainly see this working well for pre jumping a pass, less so for a solo play. Bet we will be seeing JZR perfecting this soon. Next RLCS is going to be interesting

[@MoonLord215]

Me: man when will someone find a new mechanic. Wayton:Now

[@Megabooy1]

Oh no.... another thing I can't defend against in ranked games where I bearly stand my ground already

[@daffyxiii]

I find it better to do with a diagonal flip, but the flip doesn't make the flip noise when I get the reset for some reason.

[@mahmoudtharwat7234]

I was waiting for this vid♥️

[@diowolf456]

new mechanics mean more creative ideas for freestylers! can't wait to see this fused with other mechanics aaa

[@gurliged]

Congrats on 400k!

[@6Monto]

this will make air dribles more unpredictables as they are rn, cus if u dont pay attention when he gets of the wall, and u try to read what the attacker is trying to do in mid air, he will surprice with a random dodge and u'll be like "wtf he didnt land on the ball" and even if u do see him doing the trick on the wall he can just not use it at all.

[@nikarmotte]

4:00 I like how diamonds are left out. Because they are smart enough to know they won't be able to do it properly yet, unlike plats, who think they can learn this, like flip resets.

[@MansterBear]

I remember when I first saw the wall dash video and you were like “it’s probably not going to be very useful in competition” and then the next RLCS pros we’re doing it non stop lol

[@puyu8621]

nice video tho i didn't get a good understanding of what buttons to press. do you need to use handbrake and when do you accelerate. all my attempts seem to turn in to wavedashes.

[@widowmaker4097]

Whats crazy is i used to jump off the wall like that on purpose just to add more flair to my wall dribbles but i didnt know it gave you a flip

[@micha1518]

So if you can do this on wall next to the floor, then It can be also done in wall-ceiling area

[@RewindMods]

Can't wait to do this new feet licking mechanic in my ranked games!!!

[@christianmadafferi8042]

Congrats on 500k🎉

[@euanstembridge4146]

this is the Hel Jump but on a wall. makes so much sense. idk how we missed this
