The New Mechanics of Rocket League in 2022

[@imjustmuffin9320]

For the mawkzy flick he has a tutorial on his channel (its in french tho but since im french im here to save the day :) ) He actually explains you have to keep the ball slightly farther on your car so like a forward-lean musty flick. Also being close to supersonic if not supersonic makes it easier to get.

[@Julian-cp3vp]

I like the name "Wizard Flick" more than "Evoh Flick". It just makes more sense to me because, as a defender expecting a regular flick, you'd think what the attacking player just did was wizardry

[@SenileLuke]

That’s what evample calls it

[@swagie_]

[@harorudo0816]

I call it the "Accident"

[@mvd.410]

@@SenileLuke I dunno why everyone is refering to Evample calling it that. The flick was already called a Wizard Flick before evample mastered it. I love Evample, but everyone is just calling it a valid name because he calls it that. Meanwhile it has been called a Wizard flick for 4 years XD

[@Diino...]

oh lmao it was called the wizard flick before because the player who figured out that you could use this competitivly, his username was wizardRL I think

[@HoraryHellfire]

As an SSL player (who now doesn't play much), I can help elaborate on these techniques. Mawkzy Flick: While Wayton has explained how to execute the flick and what it looks like, it doesn't drive the point home. It's missing a key component. _How_ exactly does Mawkzy's flicks have more power? He uses the 180 flick as an example, but doesn't uncover the cause. The cause is actually known already been shared, but by Halfway_Dead (Rocket Science). All flicks have a higher success rate the more times the game registers a touch on the ball. Given that the game calculates physics at 120hz (120 times a second), the game needs to recognize two or more touches for faster flicks than one touche. It was found the more touches within a flick, the more power. Typically, most players will only get one or two touches on their flicks. However, Mawkzy's more than likely utilize 2 or 3 touches per flick. The 180 flick is more likely to generate power because the car is weighted towards the back (the "pivot point" is towards the back) and thus has more surface area for the ball to travel during the flick. Mawkzy is taking advantage of this for his flicks. Another detail for the Mawkzy flick is that Wayton brings up the "backflip", but a detail is missing. It's that the the length of the car's front end is longer than the back which has more momentum _and_ that momentum is _perpendicular_ to the ball. Rather than spinning towards the ball from behind its momentum, it's hitting the ball from the side, redirecting the momentum upwards rather than matching the ball's speed and barely adding a difference. Because it's coming in from a perpendicular direction, that's extra velocity that can be added to the ball. It's easier to do while going fast, as Mawkzy's tutorial recommends, but not entirely necessary. You just won't be hitting a flick that goes 115kph, lmao. It will, however, be very fast for the speed you and the ball are initially going in. I explained this in the "Evoh Flick" section, but it's easier if you _begin_ to let the the ball roll forward before you jump (but don't let it actually roll forward noticeably). I would explain why, but it's basically the same reason explained in the "Evoh Flick" section. Land-Dashing: The explanation is _somewhat_ correct, but it's not entirely accurate. The terms "empty jump" imply that you can change the jump because an "empty jump" is simply a double jump. It's not an empty jump. It's jumping the instant all 4 physics wheels touch the floor. It's not possible to do anything _but_ an "empty" jump, because you can't dodge in a direction while on the ground. When you time the land-dash, all 4 wheels are on the ground so it's just jumping off the floor. This also means you can land-dash without having a double jump/flip reset. I clarify this because much of the shown examples (such as at 3:13) shows a different mechanic called the "Hel-Jump" (popularized by HelvetiaGaming) where one does use an empty jump (a double jump), but is timed _before_ all 4 wheels hit the ground. This is a key difference as one can be done at any time, and the other requires a double jump ("empty jump") available. Now that the correction is out of the way, let's get onto the technique. The key is jumping as you still have falling momentum but when all 4 wheels touch the ground. Suspension in Rocket League is unlike other car games, because it is very strong at absorbing the shock of landing while not pushing momentum back up (bouncing from suspension). You only have a few physics frames to even execute the maneuver correctly. And the faster your downwards velocity, the less physics frames due to how quick suspension halts your car and how quickly it reaches the "suspension limit". The technique is thus, simply timing. However, here are some tips: 1. The front end of your car needs to be tilted by 1° or more downwards. I recommend by about 10°-20° and no more or less. This allows the front wheels and the back wheels to touch the ground roughly at the same time, but also the front end touching first will be changing directions on the jump to lift off the ground for a wavedash. 2. If timed too early, you will either do an "empty" jump (the pop sound of a double jump), or you won't have a jump at all (no double jump available). 3. If timed too late, your single jump will lift your entire car off the ground way too much. 4. For the more perfect "instant" wavedash you see, you have to _predict_ that you timed the jump near perfectly and then instantly wavedash forward. The catch here is if you failed to time correctly, you flail with a front-flip that hits the nose on the ground, rather than wavedashing. Fun fact about the "land-dash". It was discovered on Reddit by some Bronze or Silver player and it was initially dubbed the "Sonic Flip". Land-dash is the superior term though. Evoh-Flick (not really): Sorry, but this is not the Evoh Flick. This is a preflip-flick or "pre-flick" and has been used on purpose way before Evoh. The common example is Evample using it and being dubbed the "Wizard Flick", but even that is also wrong. The origins of doing a preflip flick on purpose was Fairy Peak. It _started_ to catch on being known as the "Fairy Flick" several years ago, but sorta died as the consistency wasn't as strong. Here's the advice. There are two key factors in the execution of this. The first is that the ball must be resting on your car during the dribble. This means no sparks. If it's sparking it is much less likely to work. The reason why is because it results in a bad timed jump which the ball pushes the car down when you jump and simultaneously "sticks" the ball to the car. If the ball is instead resting on the car (obviously while both are moving) with no sparks, the jump will not be pushed down by the ball too much and the ball won't be as close to the car. This has the additional detail that the ball will "float" longer. This is due to the car getting an additional touch when jumping (but matching ball momentum during the jump). The second key factor is the momentum during the dribble. If you execute it like a typical flick for the above average player, this would require you to have the ball on the front end, boost and jump, then flick. By boosting and jumping, you get closer to the ball. This _fails_ for the preflip flick because you don't have enough distance for the pre-flip. Instead, you do the opposite. You have the ball resting on the front (but not very far front), but then start to _barely_ let the ball start to get away from you. Start getting away, not actually let it get away. When it begins to move away, you jump. This causes the ball to launch slightly forward, especially if you get those two instant touches as mentioned in the previous point about letting the ball rest. When the ball launches forward with two instant touches, this gives the necessary distance when using the flip to catch up to the ball, and if the flip is properly timed will hit underneath the ball to pre-flip flick it. Your boost timing should be _just_ before you jump so that you can prevent the ball from actually being lost when you do jump. It's very specific, but that's what I found gives me the most consistency for the pre-flip flick. Evoh's exact method for the flick is different than what I have gotten used to for the last like 3 or 4 years, but looks more effective at getting power. Which I can easily deduce comes from the fact the bumper of the car is swinging more from the side due to the diagonal flip rather than a normal preflip flick with a frontflip. For those who want to learn this method, I can tell you it looks almost identical except upon jumping, the players lean forward and air roll to the side simultaneously. This makes the bumper face away from the ball at a diagonal angle so a diagonal dodge gives you forward speed (relative to the direction you initially were going in), while simultaneously changing the rotation of the dodge to come from the side. This also may make it easier to execute a preflip flick consistently considering you don't have to precisely time the front bumper doing a full 360 on the longest axis (pitch). The roll axis has faster rotations per minute and thus is easier to time to hit with the front bumper. It also seems to wait less to hit the ball (again, faster rotations per minute), making its execution more lethal against higher tier players.

[@jayohheeh640]

If you pay attention to Mawksy, he let's the ball slip off the side of his car to the right before he jumps. This allows him to hit the ball further down the chassis of his car which gives more power. The closer the ball is to the center of your car when you hit it with your final touch, the less power you will have.

[@Feer]

Thanks for the showmatches my mans. Also, if the landing wavedash happens in a showmatch, could you call it the waveland? It's a term that's already used in other games and I think it fits pretty well :)

[@WithheldHappiness]

For Mawkzy’s flicks, note that he starts to one side of the ball, rather than directly under it. The goal is to hit the ball with the nose of the car, not the hood.

[@macgyveriii2818]

[@parkappanigga]

actually really good observation, would've missed that detail ngl

[@robosergTV]

no, he also does it from the center as well

[@MrDilwo]

I've been working on a off the wall pass that utilizes the same thing as the mawkzy flip, It's essentially just a sideways musty. But when the opportunity presents itself its a way faster way of getting a pass center, and it really catches people off guard who might be expecting the cross, since it just explodes off the wall instead of you having to jump out with the ball, rotate, and place it with a forward flip. Sadly I'm just a shitty gc2 with piss poor mechanics so I'm not super consistent with it, but when the setup does happen and somebody is ready for it it feels amazing to just sling the ball onto the hood of your teammate.

[@KingRanny]

If I could add onto the mawkzy flick; The flip cancel near the end of the flick is similar to a diagonal half flip flip cancel. The reason to do this instead of just a straight backflip flip cancel is so that the car will automatically air roll, which makes the ball roll not just up and down on the car, but diagonally as well. This in my experience gives the ball more speed if it catches just right, on top of recovering faster. You can see a good example at 6:56

[@Technoninja]

Diagonal half flip cancel is effective for both power and recovering.

I feel like one mechanic that's missing here, and that is actually important for RLCS and the 3s format is the "wavedash flip reset" Firstkiller pulled off a while ago. Basically he preflipped into the flip reset right when his wheels started to touch the ball and flipped right again to create a lot of distance between himself and the ball.

[@PandaFan2443]

I wouldnt consider that new. People have been doing it for a long time now, although I havent really seen it used for anything practical. I scored a goal like that one time, but a regular flip reset would have just been better.

When Wayton talked about the Mawkzy flick and he mentions that it’s like pinches. I’d 1000% agree with this. I’m pretty decent at pinches (specifically Ground Pinches) I always get some type of pinch to go insanely fast, or super slow. So the Mawkzy flick is basically a pinch but in a flick k motion.

[@ricardocyclone9491]

I once saw Rocket Science say that a very important factor in how strong flicks are is how much the ball rolls on the hood of your car, because with each "Touch"** more velocity is added to the ball, when the Mawkzy flicks, he is practically glued to the ball, maximizing the number of touches during the flick. **(I say touch because the rocket's physical engine runs at 120fps, so a touch is generated every 8ms when you are in contact with the ball). Sorry my bad English, regards from Brazil

@waytonpilkini ON 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐌👈 Yet another winner?

[@EverytingAllAtOnce]

I’m pretty sure the Wizard flick and Evoh flick are different flicks. Like they look similar, but the difference is the setup. You air roll until you’re mostly upside down and directly beneath the ball when you Evoh flick. Wizard flicks are kinda just flips where youre not originally in a position where you can flick it as soon as you flip. You’re not as underneath the ball, in other words. In a Wizard flick you use the flip to get the front/underside of your car underneath the ball to pop it, whereas Evoh flicks aren’t as “delayed” because you get under the ball using boost and air roll. Evoh’s flick has a more “standard” flick timing, cus he’s just using the underside of the car to flick it from a position where he could do other flicks instead.

[@mike777881]

My first impression with the clips you showed of mawkzy's flicks is that he looked like the nexto AI where the ball was almost consistently in a position where he could flick it, meaning that at any moment he could start the flick. Your setup was by comparison inconsistent, the ball is constantly moving relative to your car.

I noticed that when i change my left roll binds from circle to L2, its easy to tornado while jumping. Mawk left roll is R1 and because R1 its a different finger from X its ez to jump and tornado simutanously. If its square or circle there is a delay if you jump with X but R1 L1 L2 R2 no. Basically his fast set up flick come from the fact he starts tornado at the same time he jumps and face down.

[@Pseudoku_RL]

Another big detail with Mawkzy's flicks: He positions the ball slightly to the side he's turning, counterintuitively. He always turns right and flicks left, so he positions the ball slightly to the right side of his car so that when he turns, the ball is closer to his nose. That's the trick to getting the most amount of snap and power to the flicks

[@caseykawamura8718]

Something I like about the evo flick is how quickly you are on your wheels and back in control after you hit the ball. Since you already did your flip you have time to drive past the ball and demo.

Notice how Mawkzy positions his car towards the side where the ball is. Usually, a player angle their car towards the left when the ball is on the right, and viceversa. Mawkzy angles the car towards the right when the ball is on the right.

[@laynef1lw]

For the wavedash mechanic, I don't think it's necessary to use an empty jump, right? You still have to lean forwards, but if you jump early enough after all four wheels are on the ground, then only your front wheels come up since they are going through "rebound" and the rear wheels will stay on the ground since they are going through "compression".

[@grandpahgamer3526]

Outstanding work as always Wayton my friend.

[@zachj1337]

Mawkzy's flick seems like just a perfected Tornado flick that Kevpert released a vid on five years ago. You can get the same or similar results as Mawkzy by tornado spinning (hold left analog stick to one side and directional air roll in the opposite direction) as you do your first jump and then backflip. Kevpert didn't get it quite that zooming in his initial video, but he had just discovered it--it takes a bit of practice to get the timing and position of the ball on the car down.

Fairy was doing the 'Evoh flick' consistently in his 1s prime in a samurai like 4 years ago

[@baldingrecedingbowlcutmull2313]

The good "Mokzy flicks" all involve boosting the entire time you are doing the flick. Maybe that has something to do with it?

[@austincooper8687]

Fairy peak would do the evoh flick alot back when he was dominant in ones years ago

[@Juniorfox]

"turbo flick" "ret flick" "wizard flick" for a long time now I aint never heard "evoh flick"

[@JacobM255]

Btw the landing wave dash after a speed flip is quite good for kickoffs you should try it

[@leaf2271]

Petition to call it the waveland

[@ENemy_SHpotted]

I think he is diagonal backwards flipping. In the video you explain it as a back flip/musty but I think it’s more of a reverse speed flip. Aka a diagonal flip. Idk if he does flip cancel mid flip but it sure as hell kind of looks like it

[@griffaye]

evample mastered the wizard flick before evoh. evample can literally do it whenever he wants on command in air, from ceiling, on ground, you name it

[@tommythetsunami5]

I've been using landing wavedashes ever since that Rocket Science guy released the video of it. Whenever I remember to use it it's super useful

[@Bolbi_]

Okay the landing wave dash and mawkzy flick are crazy. Definitely going to try those. As for the first one, tho. What you described as simply missing your flick and then hitting it by accident isn't exactly what Evoh is doing. His is more optimized and almost a different thing entirely. For what you'd described, though, I remember Fairy Peak! using them quite consistently in 1v1 show matches a few years ago. Was insane.

[@loryt690]

the best mechanic is not being a toxic player, something that a lot of ppl have to learn

[@darksideempath2013]

The wave dash thing was a secret i had to learn on my own. I even had a coach who I saw do this. I asked him about it, and he wouldn’t say a thing. Wayton, you blew the whistle on the secret strat.

[@keatonmaier5894]

Was sort of hoping to hear your thoughts on Dark(?) and his pogos lol. Still a great video regardless!

[@orphscookie8047]

with the last flick really looks like you're side/diagonal flipping in the failed attempts rather than getting a straight on hit/flick.

[@jaydendickson]

Great video dude. I’ve watched some of Mawkzy’s streams recently and 108kph is like the min speed of the flick. Often it’s 116kph.

[@laserloserboy]

Great to start the day off with wayton

[@siffertime1642]

Watching these new mechanics as a diamond is nuts. Why tf you all so good

[@All_I_can_say_is_Wow]

It looks like you have the right idea on the Mawkzy flick. Mawkzy just has frame on pixel accuracy. It seems simple but his consistency is amazing.

[@danielscicluna381]

Thanks for bringing this back,I liked the other 1

[@aquanos]

I've been using the landing wavedash for a while, I'm nowhere near consistent at it but i can still do it every so often. I do them without the empty jump so just finding the perfect timing on when you jump upon landing to bring your car up is hard. I personally have been thinking of a name for it and i think "Land-dash" is easier to say while conveying the mechanic pretty well compared to "Landing wavedash" .

[@ezaly6220]

Yo wayton u are one of the best rocket league content creators out there. I'm always waiting for new videos because they are so high quality and we can all see the effort you put into them. Keep up the good work! I especially like the scenes where it's like a cinematic camera view in (5:38) and 5:58

[@zF_Crypt]

Love the video man! The first flick is so cool, i watch alot of Evample and he loves going for these with his unique playstyle.

[@masonn44]

evample has BEEN doing the wizard* flick for a LONG time way more than evoh has been. and evamples are WAY more impressive and still on SSLs

[@01pilipe]

Yesss the evoh flick. Im here for it! He's been grinding it.

[@AlbertoHernandez-yq2nm]

The last one is insane. It looks almost too powerful. I can’t wait for pros to start regularly flicking 100kph lasers like that

[@punishr2.]

Evample has been doing this mechanic for a long ass time now. He called it the wizard flick and it sounds better

[@SimplyTiffany2009]

yeah evample need credit

[@zlexs]

Mawkzy flicks are actually insane, i learned them in 10-15 mins and i can get 110kph in game pretty consistently

[@Irishbreakfast100]

Fantastic information my guy. Thank you.

[@Nichrysalis]

Me and my crew just called them "delayed flicks" we never really pulled them off on purpose, but it was clear that they had strategic use for whoever could nail down the execution.

[@MuscleTeamOfficial]

Ever since I saw that johnnyboii clip with mawkzy I just kept practicing it, by far my favorite flick, u can be stationary and have a boomer in less than a second. Nuts.

[@Luckybomb21]

The “Evoh flick” is what I did like a year ago and I have been perfecting it ever since! I posted me doing it and now I’m a pro at doing it. I hope it gets called the Lucky flick lmao

[@Electronic_milk]

if you do the same landing wavedash setup on the wall you can combo it into a lix jump :P

[@choiceyyy1425]

For mechanic flick: jump > spin the left stick (LS/L3) from left to down and tap air roll left at the start of the LS/L3 input > when you start inputting directly down press jump. That's my theory I haven't tried it yet bc I'm not bothered rn but give it a shot
