The BEST Strategies And Tips For The NEW Rocket League Game Mode - Knockout Bash!

[@Woodyyyy]

How are we liking this new mode? I'm personally loving it!

[@alexbo3299]

its incredible

[@darn.]

it’s very fun

[@rincx329]

It has a lot of potential, but it differs too much from the core mechanics. Adding things like grab block and attack is completely fine, however flipping is different from the core game. Can't speedflip or wavedash. It just feels like a different game instead of a different gamemode.

[@alexbo3299]

@@rincx329 i mean its still pretty god damn fun, maybe they will uprade it soon

[@Woodyyyy]

@@rincx329 the physics are a little different and take some getting used to, but I found that once I was more used to them it became wayyyyy more fun.

I can confirm, these are the best strategies, These were used on me many times and Woody killed me 3 times in 50 seconds

[@Woodyyyy]

🤣

[@Talliebird]

Grabs are definitely a little too OP. They need to get rid of one of the stun bars because it gives you 2 and that is asking a lot from newer players. I also feel they should increase the number of spike walls and floors to make grabbing a little more risky. Other than that the game mode is great.

[@Woodyyyy]

Ya I think there will definitely be some adjustments in the future based off of player feedback and things they see in matches. Should be fun to see how/what changes are implemented.

[@mrsniper9113]

In all honesty I find it easy to counter grabs, if I recognize that a person grabs a lot then I know to attack

[@apk9754]

@@mrsniper9113 I swear grabs always get through to me, even when I attack them.

[@mrsniper9113]

@@apk9754 it's also about timing, what I like to do is jump once so that way I'm already in the air and then I flip with out jumping first when I'm about to attack

[@trayvondixon9661]

Grabs dont even work for me

[@georgieporgie10]

I've played around 50of these matches and won almost 40 of them, this is by far the most fun I've had playing rocket league in years to be honest. I can't wait to play more.

[@mike777881]

Couple other things I've noticed: -If your going for someone from behind, always grab because they cannot attack backwards and thus its guaranteed to be successful as they cant defend against it -If you get spiked, you can recover if you really spam x. (Or whatever button you bound recovery to). The important thing is to flip as soon as possible because it cancels vertical movement. I'm worried that the recovery button will be prone to cheating with a rapid fire button or the scroll wheel exploit. That being said, there may be a benefit to making the jump button the same as the recovery button as then you'll immediately dodge. -Have a preference to attack instead of grab when recovering or when youre about to get hit close to the edge, because if you get grabbed in this scenario its basically a death sentence -In sudden death, pretty much any attack/grab will kill your opponent. Therefore the grab meta no longer applies and head on battles turn into rock paper scissors -Just my preference: car cam early game, "ball" cam late game

[@lavabeard5939]

I've already run into someone with an auto hotkey cheat. he was a PC player and I couldn't spike him into the ground with a supersonic grab off the edge

[@hershy1594]

Another tip for head to head battles: Bait in opponents attacks. If they go for a slow attack and you can turn quick enough you can go for a guaranteed grab from behind. Also them revealing their attacks while you hide yours can give you valuable info for mind games (ex: they never to for smash attack because they have grab bound to jump so always go for grab)

[@Abc-js7sh]

@@lavabeard5939 I don't use a cheat/auto click but can still escape most grab attacks.... it's not 100%, it's just cheese. and a strong attacking player will get you every time

[@lavabeard5939]

@@Abc-js7sh nah dude I've played hundreds of games since then and nobody has gotten free as fast as that guy. I don't know why you are presuming to know the situation. I attacked the guy supersonic off a ledge and shot him straight down and he could break free from the stun and flip before he hit the ground every time. nobody else that I've faced could do that

[@WhatCanIBreak_RL1]

I will learn the way of the Woody. Thank you jedi master!

[@Bismo]

Wow, I won 10 games straight after watching this! Without dying either, thanks Woody! Great video

[@Potato-_-]

@@Woodyyyy pure bs. when i attack and the opponent tries to grab, he grabs me but i do nothing to him and you said attack is supposed to counter grab it dont work

[@Pyro_wildcart]

This is the moment woodys training has be leading up for

[@Woodyyyy]

A game mode without a ball? A dream come true

[@Pyro_wildcart]

@@Woodyyyy lol and also In this game mode your teammates can’t complain about you ball chasing becasue 1 there’s no teammates and 2 THERES NO BALL!

[@andresantos5142]

Ive been waiting for this mod only to say that woody is going to enjoy the absolute hell out of it, lets see you on the RL grind again woody!

[@davidreallylikesthat]

Nice one Woody! Good to see you uploading again. I was getting scared. I really like the tutorial style. Your voice is great for it. Can’t wait to try knock out.

[@Woodyyyy]

I really appreciate that

[@xer0895]

Of course you're good at this gamemode, who would've guessed

[@soniK_RL]

After I was stuck in a lobby with you and Claven yesterday I actually got pretty good at this game mode. Trial by fire lol. wp homie

[@izzyonline44]

I've been waiting for your vid on this. Love the tips!

[@titeuf1479]

Hello Woody I’m from Paris. You are my favourite youtuber. I like when you demo I laugh a lot 😂😂 because I demo too. When I demo I put in the chat 2 times « Wow ! » 😂😂😂 or « Whew » 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the most mad moment is when 2 of the 3 opponents follow you for demo you and you avoid them 😂😂😂

[@Brookbot]

Thanks, I literally had no idea what was going on when I first played the mode lmao

[@thelittleowl1]

Somehow I figured this all out by myself. Thanks for giving other people tips tho. I look forward to competition. When this mode first came out I was dominating.

[@JacksonPlayzGames]

I finally figured out grabbing and it’s so useful, especially in sudden KO

[@thomasegner6111]

let’s go new woody vid

[@snickers8266]

Thanks!

[@thatgamerinam]

Hey legend! Just found your channel from cbell’s vid and here i am getting better at rl

[@Woodyyyy]

Welcome to the channel!

[@Yuhara_rev]

Finally gave this mode a try today with a friend. At first we totally suck at it, then I remembered you made this video. So we watched it. And what do you know? We stil freaking suck at it. Because our recoveries are horrible lol. It is helpful though, my KBM friend had an easier time after rebinding his grab button.

[@joshuarobertson6286]

Now i just play for fun.. and its hella hilarious when i alternate between grabs and attacks and on maps with looong pathways.. just multiple side flips.. like feinting an attack to turn into a grab when they have little reaction to react.

[@art2norrman872]

I had hard time understanding this mode. Thanks to Woody I finally can get over 0 points in it

[@REIstros7]

Casual Knockout Player: huh. Neat! Average Knockout Enjoyer: I might use this to my advantage. Competitive Knockout Player: *Immediately takes note and uses every single tip shown in this video* Me: Welp. Time to abuse theses strategies and combine all in 1 after my 100 None Stop Knockout Matches 🙃

[@skourch.]

"Attacks counter grabs..." yeaaaa... not very often unless you have significant distance. Anyone good will wait to grab and it will be almost impossible to dodge.

[@Woodyyyy]

I've been able to counter grabs pretty well with timing my attacks right. Trying to find out exactly what kind of timing/speed is needed to counter properly has been an issue though. Rocket League hasn't really told us that info yet, so it's just trial and error right now.

[@MrRuumi1]

Woody is there more of your content I can find on youtube or twitch? You are sooo cool and inspirational! I completely changed my play style and attitude towards RL after watching your videos! I don't get salty anymore and when my opponents win and write what a save it makes it even more funny!!!

[@ludwigfranklin]

After loosing 5 matches in a row, I watched this video and immediately won my next match! Great tips!

[@Twilight_901]

Thank you, this helped me alot, I always thought you just turn around and boost to recover

[@darn.]

thanks for this, i came 2nd 3 times in row lol. hopefully i can win now

[@FrowzySquirrel]

This is a fine and dandy video

[@adeadbush]

Do you have any advice on how not to get grabbed? It can get pretty frustrating sometimes. Great tips nonetheless!

[@Woodyyyy]

I know that attacks (flips) are supposed to counter them, and they definitely do, but it seems that grabs almost always over power attacks if it is from the side or close to the side of your car. I've been flipping straight at people that try to grab me (sometimes double front flips) and that has been working pretty well to counter grabs. More trial and error is needed to know forsure though haha

[@GoldenPants.]

@@Woodyyyy i feel that when attacking vs a grabber earlier attacks seem to work more then same time attacks, also grabs at the same time go to whoever grabbed first, might be related

[@adeadbush]

@@Woodyyyy Thanks!

[@johan-_-6418]

Grabs are seriously op, you have to pretty much predict the future when a really good player grabs and you pretty much hope you can counter it. Imo I think it needs a cooldown timer of when you can grab again, either that or just make it to where you can escape it easier.

[@HappyCapy5]

soo... rl gave 5 tips for this gamemode on the rl channel, it was the best video on knockout tips that taught me nothing useful about knockout. this vid was way better and now i should be able to win all my plat knockout matches ez

[@GoldenPants.]

best way to survive being grabbed and spiked into the abyss is to unstun and flip as fast as possible, even spamming jump before u unstun to get a flip asap, flips remove vertical momentum. ive survived some close ones where my car was partially through the abyss

[@BalancedWaffle]

Now that I've learned these great tips, you can take down your video so nobody else uses them against me!

[@hershy1594]

Another tip for when you're being chased. Run off the edge and boost down a bit to quickly get onto the wall. Your opponent will either stop chasing you or you'll have the upper hand if you know how to use the walls and you can edge guard from there. Sometimes just jumping at an opponent is enough to scare them off. Also if you can also just do a quick 180 if an opponent is about to grab you from behind

[@joeyguerrero3071]
