[@MoreTickle]

Something to note about flying backwards, when you first learn this and try to fly normally, you may find that you can't or it feels hard for some reason, this is natural, your brain for some reason is trying to use the backward controls for normal flying, so just spend some time flying back and fourth between the goals like normal to correct this.

[@pepijngoes537]

what is that last custom map called

[@juicetinthemakar]

As a Diamond 2 trying to reach champ, the exercises involving flying backwards and/or without air roll around the edges really showed to me what I was lacking in the air, as I had little to no use for those mechanics in a competitive game. Usually, the mechanics I already had covered up what I needed to actually learn. Thank you so much Thanovic!

The fact you put thought into it and made it so everyone could practice not just " go do rings" shows what a great content creator you really are! Keep up the good work and can't wait to give this a shot! Might even try your button layout.

[@dc_maru]

well, rings really help

[@alicemiiku]

@@dc_maru Nobody’s trying to refute that fact, op was just saying that it’s nice to see someone make an aerial control video that’s all inclusive (for example, this video is really helpful for me, who plays console)

Dang u play potato League 😮😮😮🎉

[@ouaisjsuisbelgeetquoi]

flop

[@FFaithTTV]

A big tip people don’t take seriously is the fact your boost is what moves almost 75% of your car the input from the analog stick is what twists the car than the timing of boost is what makes you move that direction, practice focusing on your boost when your flying goal to goal it will help you better control your cars angle and better your aerial control to eventually get better with the ball

[@Thanovic]

That’s actually solid, never thought of it like that

[@FFaithTTV]

@@Thanovic I learned that from one of my friends, keep doing what your doing, can’t wait to see how good you get in the next few months!

[@kennethvanegmond]

This is the answer i have been searching the entire internet for, watched countless vids and never found the answer, untill now FINALLY. Thank you!

[@LxstAgain]

This is probably one of the best videos on the topic. I’ve been playing for maybe 4-5 months, made it to diamond 2 in under 300 hours and could hit basic aerials, dribbles, flicks, and stuff like that, but struggled with anything in the air that wasn’t a basic aerial. It was starting to impact my games a lot, even with pretty good positioning and game sense, so In the last few weeks I’ve been using these same drills and my air control is SOO much better. I went from not being able to air dribble, to being able to air dribble with air roll and without, very consistently.

[@Jomama7272]

Flying around the Pillars map in freeplay is also a great way to practice. Just fly in a figure-8 pattern forward, backward, or with a spin. It's actually quite difficult and helped me a lot.

[@TheDevil69270]

I'm glad you keep catering to all audiences, especially the beginners that will start the game and always be looking for a recent video. I'm kinda surprised you dropped the pillars map advice, it is truly what got be better at air control and directional air roll !

[@yellinatclouds9213]

I've neglected my car control skills for a long time and this was very helpful. Thank you!

[@lanceotis401]

I’ve been playing for about two years. Made it to platinum without ever learning how to do any of this. Looks like a great way to really hone your game and get that much better. Nothing worse than having to sit on the ground while a dude is having his way with aerials. Thanks for this video!

Awesome tutorial, just what I needed! I'm a KBM player and recently switched controls, so I airroll with mouse buttons, bringing my skill from c2 to d2. Even with alot of practise, I just couldn't hit balls very well in the air, as I used to. The video made me realize, that flying backwards makes me struggle alot in the moment. So that's what i'll practise. Thanks!

i know this is a year ago but this actually helped so much, i went from not being able to aerial from the wall at all to being able to do it, now i can also airroll when going for aerials

[@nathanpaul4571]

Yo bro these vids are class. I recently made the move from kbm to controller and I've been struggling to get most mechanics down. Hopped onto the training pack and now im hitting shots i never hit on kbm. Thanovic the goat fr ❤

[@davewasthere]

Feel your pain. I'm very much a kbd/mouse gamer. But controller gives much finer control. But it's relearning from the ground up.

It was annoying when flying backwards around the field but now am getting the hang of it now I see what I was lacking great content.

[@colin_vr1416]

Thank you a lot, I've been in stuck switching from platinum and diamond and my car control in the air was really lacking, after trying this i can easily say this helps a lot and i will continue doing this little routine every time i get on and impove, thanks again.

[@kennethbeal]

Thank you! Really cool, just before 8 minutes you say it might be boring. That describes my third visit to SkyVenture, an indoor wind tunnel. I chose a point on the wall, and decided to try to keep my body motionless in front of it. That money was well spent! The fourth, and further, times I was able to spin around, shoot up, shoot down and bounce my chest off the wire grid floor, man it was fun. That was in Florida. Boring in order to fly is worth it! :) Thanks again.

[@BigDawgEasyy]

Man thank you for this, I just started playing rocket league 2 months ago and struggle with hitting the ball in the air . This helped a lot.

Huh I was just looking for a vid on this. Perfect timing Thanovic!

[@AndOrNor69]

I will just say after about 15 mins of boosting around the field in the air in reverse it made me feel so good in the air. Its like I now have so much more control while going up for aerials! Don't sleep on these simple drills. They are so effective. Time to train DAR now.

[@JeremiahCrossland]

This is why the rank with the most players in it is plat many people give up or don’t try to learn car control

[@Corneliusfiddleworth]

HUGE rip that helped me. When ur flying backwards think of it like ur direction stick is controlling the tail end of the car and when ur flying forward ur controlling the nose. Wen from not being able to get a corner backwards to doing 5 laps w o messing up

[@KylianWarriorVL]

Tysm bro, my friends laughed at me cuz my aerial control sucked at c2 but now i can do a DOUBLE FLIP RESET!! It only took like a couple days or even a week or 2 to do it. Like bro i couldnt have done it without you, ur the goat!

This is hilarious, I was litterally looking up videos on how to train car control and aerials efficiently last night😆😆😆

[@YesSir-et7nc]

4:7 this guy is so smart bro. God bless him

[@Spitts]

I think we currently have an air roll epidemic in RL. People think they have to glue down air roll because they see pros and KZbinrs do it. I see a lot of players in ranked that could be really good but end up playing bad because they are spinning the second they leave the ground. In most cases this serves no purpose and you can almost always get to the ball faster and get a more accurate touch just flying straight to the ball.

[@daddyslilmonster420]

Yes and no Air roll can help with precision spots when air dribbling or taking high aerials and redirects But its the over use of air roll where people get confused They dont know how to control it But you cant blame them for trying to air roll You gotta learn somehow

[@JRFG]

What I don’t understand are the small adjustments with the L stick when watching you adjust while air rolling I see you doing full circles with your L stick. I guess I’m stuck on knowing when and how to adjust while air rolling. Because in free play it’s so unnatural

[@plty3931]

THUS IS WHY UR THE BEST ROCKET LEAGUE YTBER EVER NO JOKE

[@hasaniennis442]

Thanks bro! These exercises should definitely help me peak my aerial control..btw your voice sounds deeper dude

[@MegaKotai]

My skill level is about 05:00 in the video and my problem is, that I unlearn flying forward while training the backwards flying (if you know what I mean). After a while I'm pretty confident flying backwards but if I then switch back to forwards flying my brain doesn't want to. My workaround is to fly the long edges backwards and the short ones forwards. It's harder by a good bit but that's probably nessisary. Just started today with the routine so I don't have any results to share yet.

another thing people forget is that you can do figure 8's around the pillars map in freeply its the best thing since you dont need rings maps technicly the rings maps are just veried angles of the figure 8's

[@wGoony]

GOATED! This gave me reassurance too I’m not too late to this game :)) !!

[@GrrumpyPants]

6:22 is where I get stuck. I can aerial well enough using air roll only to readjust my car, but never spinning. I can complete most of the giant rings map this way. As soon as I try spinning by holding air roll I lose all control. I have 0 idea how to turn or readjust my car while spinning, and no amount of practice seems to be making this any easier. I hope the in depth guide covers the basics of how to actually handle the movement of your car while spinning, because for the life of me I cannot find a guide anywhere that actually covers this, it just seems to be assumed that it comes naturally enough to everyone.

[@Superlowry]

Same for me, I can fly without spinning, i can hit every ball, even readjust the position with normal flying.. but as soon as I start spinning in the air, the car just loses control 😂

[@GrrumpyPants]

[@bingewatcher04_bingejesus85]

I think I know what you mean. I press X then adjust the angle of my car and then push X and O together and I always thought I was doing a fast aerial. I later learned that I wasn't doing it right but since it's working for me I probably won't learn the proper way until I really have to

[@Marco_The_Person]

So fast aerials is basically holding boost all the way and double jumping

[@phantom_isle]

fast aerials are good for when you're racing somebody else to the ball, but otherwise you should usually save your flip to get better power on your shot if you can

How could I arrange the controls if I want to push into champ but I can’t get over changing boost to r1? I have had game since launch and sit around diamond 2. I have always played with air roll left /right on l1/r1. I have never used free air roll in game rly ever. I can hit ceiling shots, wall shots and such, but have never had that freestyle movement. Everything else is default (circle boost,) I recent rebinded power slide to r1 and like the change. After I watched a couple vids to see what the best controls are I moved my air roll right to L2 per zen video, and it’s fine but makes the half flip more complicated. The main air roll directional on square would be fine, but not using boost on circle and on r1 Is a way crazy change than the power slide one. Should I just fight trough?

"Knowing how to aerial. This is something that becomes a staple part of your gameplay as you move up the ranks and is a skill you should be learning as early as gold." Unless you ask a pro. They love to say that you can get to SSL without ever leaving the ground.

[@aaronwingard3886]

Also, in case anyone’s interested in the air roll on L2 situation. I have my air roll left set as square and since the zen situation I’ve put air roll right on R2 and in my opinion it feels a bit less restricted when I play. Try it out if you’re curious but it does take about a week to get back all the control you previously had

[@dylanpsimer4583]

Hi, I'm a C3-GC, wanted to share my experience switching my air roll to LT after watching that video. In a few words, I found it incredibly easy and intuitive compared to most mechs I try to learn. I can actually do rings quicker now than I could before. The only issue is I had to practice trigger discipline on my half flips and recoveries. It was annoying at first, but in the end, I feel like it tightened up my timing in regard to those 2 skills. It forced me to actively work on old skills I had written off. The reason our experiences differed is that I'm learning directional air roll for the first time. My friend who already knows directional air roll tried this and gave up in a day. I could still play my normal game and only had to change a couple habits. I could still air roll with a normal air roll. He, on the other hand, was trying to reteach himself how to aerial each game.

[@aaronwingard3886]

Same here bro, trigger discipline isn’t really something you think about in the moment and every game is like learning again

[@omster_]

Air roll right on RT doesn't make any sense, you're holding down throttle practically the whole time you're playing, compared to a much lower usage of the brakes on LT

[@dylanpsimer4583]

@@omster_ I could see some advantages to having better trigger discipline on RT. Flip resets and jumping off walls/the ceiling for example. Holding acceleration on these surfaces messes with your timings. Another positive is if you're trying to use air roll right after a jump, such as trying to hit balls straight above you, it would save you time from having to let go of one button and hit another. If I learned anything from the LT air roll it's that small adjustments to your input timings make big differences in the consistency of mechs.

[@dyzorted]

Last szn gc3 here, I changed my ARL to left trigger (had them on left bumper) and obviously found it very easy to get the hang of. You have a lot more control over your touches and makes your movement more fluid. Maybe in the lower ranks it doesn't matter as much but here I can tell u that its showing its advantages very quickly
