The New Mechanics of Rocket League 2023

[@p1zza108.]

i invented a new mechanic: the pizza flick. basically u just have to completely miss the ball and hope they own goal instead of scoring the open net. works 0.0001% of the time so i'd say it's pretty good

[@Kingbee6421]

definitely gonna use that (I’m champ2)

[@999Remi]

I have accidentally done this trick many times in free play which shows its consistency

[@p1zza108.]

fr its so easy to pull off but so effective@@999Remi

[@xavigc5642]

Where does the pizza name came from

[@poopkizi8883]

this works really well in champ 1 in 2's and any 3's game cause like 3's is a mistake now with the whole 1v5 thing

[@gamecubebro]

I like the fact that a lot of these new tricks aren't all too crazy or elaborative to stick out brand new but just end up being simple and intuitive

[@Shinny1338]

[@drewanderson7203]

Honestly the Suffo flick looks incredibly stylish and effective if you have space, would be cool to learn it

[@downpipe9935]

someone show this to evample

[@yes2097]

I v done it once before by acsident it was rly lucky

[@shkr_rl]

its very similar to the breezi flick in terms of its weaknesses and strengths, requires lots of space but deadly when done right

[@shadowyzephyr]

@@shkr_rl The Breezi is easy to aim when consistent and one of the fastest flicks. I don't think this can go as fast because of the angle you're hitting the car at. Also, if you get intercepted in the middle of doing a Breezi, you're behind the ball so you just get a 50 upwards. If you get intercepted during this they will just hit it straight over you. I don't know why anyone would pick this outside of either freestyling or as a way to bait someone because they didn't know it was possible to get back to the ball (which after 1 goal they will learn).

[@unnq]

you don’t need to brazil someone off of this alone, just one goal to sauce on them if you get the chance is enough

[@imamalox]

Can confirm I've done the AmaLix Jump quite a few times in game since I made that Reddit post. I'm saving the clips for my upcoming tutorial though :) Also, the 1 in 3 success rate is kind of misleading, as failing the mechanic usually just leads to a normal air dribble setup, making it not very high risk to go for. Also props for highlighting the Luther Flick! Definitely an underrated mechanic.

[@WaytonPilkin]

Ooo sick!! I’ll be looking forward to that tutorial!

[@punda404]

Hey man we had a chat in your original video's comments a couple weeks ago. Since then I can get the amalix jump every 90 seconds or so in freeplay, and managed to get the jump down (but no shot) in a match as well. Dedicating a lot of time to learning it (at least 30 minutes a day) but god damn is it hard, the 2nd jump timing is so brain numbing lol. Am waiting for your next tutorial - have my notifs on for you lol

The 7th and final mechanic of 2023: The No-Trade

[@squidwithsuperpowers6761]

I've been practicing this mechanic a lot, I think I will have it fully consistent within 3 weeks

[@SparTerra]

L,😮

[@mariusjenkins7294]

I have only made one trade in my entire time playing RL, but it still pisses me off that they removed it... It does absolutely nothing to improve the experience for anyone playing the game, and was strictly so more people would buy from the shop... I have bought cosmetics before from RL, but I have no intentions of ever buying one again because they removed trading purely to be greedy... And they removed dropshot, fuck epic, they can all taste my sweaty testicles...

[@Horizontff]

Jajjja😂

[@999Remi]

The fact new mechanics are still being found amazes me

[@aZapatos]

I did not expect to be mentioned here lol great video as always 👍 ( 4:08 I’d like to clarify that I can do the double zap dash consistently off a wall, but not from simply jumping off the ground. I’ve tried it off the ground tons of times and I haven’t been able to do it at all.)

[@imamalox]

Do you feel like it's significantly faster than a single zap dash?

[@WaytonPilkin]

I should try more from off the wall. Props to you for finding it!

[@iamallanevans]

Are you forward wave dashing when single jumping off the ground? You don't need to. Its just an empty jump timed right.

[@blurryface9910]

@@iamallanevans and empty jump wouldn't give you any speed...?

[@iamallanevans]

@blurryface9910 Hmm, you'll have to excuse me, I haven't done these since 2020ish. I will have to go back and see how I was doing them and hit free play to jog my memory. If I remember correctly, it's just a rhythmic swivel and an empty jump. I very well could be confusing and combining a couple of them that I was working on. Haha, this should be fun.

[@2s2bs]

I think the Purple Shot is something along the lines of a "Point-Blank Psycho", because the pop/power comes from the force the ball gets from bouncing off your car after the reset and leaning forward to make sure the ball pops into your front wheels, similar to redirects. I know if I get the pop from a Flip Reset when I don't cushion the ball enough, it could go flying, so maybe its making lemonade from lemons, using that uncontrollable pop into a shot.

[@RicardoFiorani]

9:00 you have to press the reverse before the flick, so your car stays in air while the ball gains the momentum from the wheels in reverse

[@Mtn_Mateo]

Like you said, the fact their still people coming up with new stuff keeps this game so exciting. The potential is limitless

[@shadowmaster7333]

9:00 I certainly couldn’t do it but I did notice that wayton’s front wheels were farther back than in the clip just by a little bit. So that made me think that with the hitbox of the octain when you jump like that you slightly pinch the ball between your wheels. Though l’m just a diamond and that was just what I noticed.

[@RG32107]

3:10 once again this is known in the plat league already. It is called TRD or "Thirst Rush Dash" as it was discovered originally by an unknown player in Plat (common to not know the player of origin from plat league) who felt it was necessary to hit the ball prior to their teammate at every opportunity. The move was performed without prior knowledge of the speed benefits of TRD and was only later discovered when a PPLP (Pro Plat League Player) was studying film on how to better beat teammates to the ball regardless the positioning.

[@Jackilichous]

for the first mechanic, you should have tried a rolling ground musty to compare it to. they are very fast as well

[@nightwarrior5568]

I think the speed just off the touch will be similar but the set up time between the two would make the first mechanic better

[@Jackilichous]

@@nightwarrior5568 yeah fair take i just thought it would be the best comparison since i think they're so similiar

[@shadowyzephyr]

Seems like rolling musty is to a musty as a luther flick is to a 45 flick. The luther flick is probably a bit slower speed on the ball but faster to setup.

[@hctr82]

3:57 i actually started implementing that new method about 7 months ago, but I never took the time to improve it as you did. great vid 👍

[@dylanpsimer4583]

I agree with your last point that the important part of a mech is if you can replicate it. I've personally done something very similar to some of these by accident but will always just write it off as a failure unless I am trying to do it and can replicate it.

[@insertname5997]

I remember watching the video on the Suffo flick when it had like 50 views and it was insane. Glad to see it be shown more.

[@TheRazeryan]

Great video, mind blowing stuff. Can't Wait to see these in RLCS. you know it'll happen after everyone used to say flip resets "aren't that competitive." Lol

[@a.w.5682]

Mechanic 2: I have practicing a little bit and I’ve found that the middle step doesn’t even need to be there. If you do it right, the front of the car naturally pops up from the first wave dash and you can immediately wave dash again. not sure how good or consistent it is compared to what’s shown in the video but it’s there. it’s a thing

[@F4TALS]

I swear i feel like I’m ranking up just by watching you keep it up

[@SpinGoal]

I've done 4 mechanics from this video. I have over 3000h and play this game CASUALLY (not tryharding to learn mechanics) and I've done it multiple times "just by that" somehow not knowing about these mechanics and the rarity of them. Mechanic 5 is my favourite. When you are a bad player from Diamond 3 and you wanna do flip reset and ur bad, sometimes you hit the ball with that power. There are way more mechanics which can be used in game, but we people in fact don't know them and even if we do them by random, on 99,99% cases we don't notice it.

[@JezzaN1]

Amalix and purple shot seem like the two that could be the most deadly if the consistency really gets dialled in. Didn't play much from early-mid 2023 onwards, so it's always cool to see people discovering new mechanics in this game.

[@hydrarl3869]

that suffo flick would be useful asf to learn, not just for the shots you can get, but it will 100% help w/ awkward recoveries

[@thatonedude1107]

I’m going to create a new mechanic so I can name it double banana cheeseburger supreme instead of my name blank

[@tamo1110]

Been doing the 'double zap dash' for about a year. I think its just the car cancelling out the first wave dash so the 2nd becomes easier. Very useful in game but hard to get consistent at it

[@87firearrow]

Wayton: A gc that can’t do a single zap dash, but can do a single zap dash Me: a gold that can’t do a single dash, but can do a double zap dash, a dash-zap (no, not a zap dash), and did a double zap dash is SIDESWIPE. I also get the same 3v3 rank as my 1v1 rank, and got into a diamond lvl tournament and almost mawkzy flicked on them but it was a bit too high, my highest rank was plat 1 div 1, but I didn’t play 2v2, because I knew I would drop right down to gold. I have invented 5+ mechanics posted on the Xbox network cuz I didn’t know how to upload to YT. I think there might be something wrong with me.

YESSSS NEW WAYTON UPLOAD MY DAY IS SAVED

[@nicolasgottshall1507]

I hit a Jerry Reset two days before watching this video and had absolutely no idea what happen or how I got so much power. I clipped it and watched it 100 times to see what I did or what happen. The best way I can describe it was I went off the ceiling and went under the ball to scoop it in but when I did my flick I went into a reset on the ball so I immediately flip canceled the second reset on impact with the ball and it went zooming straight into the net. I 100% doubt I could ever do it again intentionally but was baffled as to what I did until seeing this. Now I can sleep peacefully at night know this was an already discovered mechanic. ❤

[@Le-sos]

bro the purple shot got me as hyped as i was when i first found out about mechanics like the air dribble when i was gold

[@IsmaelCordier]

i'm pretty sure i saw the purple shot in a Pulse fire car videos

[@redlinegaming3612]

The first one is just a floor pinch from a different angle. I came up with this concept years ago but forgot about and I never practice. It comes from snow day as you can pinch the Puck using this or even a forward dodge to implement it.

[@CactousMan639]

[@reed6514]

I have a bunch of clips saved of a mechanic that i wanna turn into a video. Basically, on the ground approaching a 50/50, you jump, turn your nose left or right, and put your wheels toward the ball, then you do a backflip. Sometimes i get a flip reset, which I'm not sure how to capitalize. Sometimes i whiff. Many times i get a surprising hit past my opponent. I think it has potential, and I've never seen it in the wild.

Even as an SSL most of this stuff is new to me. Suffo flick has been around for a few years now. The AmaLix jump also has massive potential for competitive, granted someone can actually learn it

[@Piotr-iu3ee]

You know it will happen. Not too long ago any form of dashing was uncommon, now you have chain wall dashes, zap dashes (even double now). Just a year ago wall dashes were rare, now if you dont see them you hear them being performed pretty much every pro game. Give it another year and all of these most likely will have recreation in pro play.

[@imamalox]

I've used the AmaLix jump various times in game since I made that Reddit post. What wasn't mentioned in this video is that failing the mechanic usually just leads to a normal air dribble setup, so there's really no downside of going for it :)

[@yacobe_]

@@imamalox yeah, that low risk + high reward is huge. and it looks basically the same as just jumping off the wall, defenders would have no clue you have a flip

[@shadowyzephyr]

@@Piotr-iu3ee I'm champ and I do walldashes of the corners and speeding up and even curvedashes occasionally. They aren't that tough if you just know the setup. Doing a double zapdash is incredibly hard though, will take a while to get. Suffo flick is not too viable in comp though, it's just a freestyle mech.

[@yacobe_]

@@shadowyzephyr freestyle mechs are always viable at a certain point in competitive. the only reason is because you'd never expect someone to go for it - by the time you see they're trying to (for example) suffo flick, it's too late. although if you could read it or know it's coming, yeah, you're better off just doing a 45. a solid example of this is ground mustys. they used to be a pretty strong flick, but if you go for one nowadays you'll get challenged immediately

[@zlette]

I remember a couple years ago I hit a double reset where you wavedash onto the ball after getting your first flip. I think it could be useful if done consistently although the times I've gotten it my car goes plummeting into the floor unless I flip immediately. Often times that just causes a miss anyways. I have a clip of me hitting a nice one in freeplay though.

[@juhbell]

Um I randomly started playing rocket league again for 6 months in 2020 and somehow did a double zap dash and a Jerry reset way back then… idk how. I even have videos to prove it

I've been playing this game for years. Insane we're still learning new stuff from it.

[@mynameissolongbecauseilike6446]

For mechanic 5, he is jumping off of the ball directing his car toward the ball before falling out of range hitting it within milliseconds redirecting it with the bottom near nose of his car, the flip is to cancel the momentum so he can reposition. (Edit: maybe I'm wrong, this mechanic is kind of trippy.

[@pedrosolorzano6020]

I have a reset that I can do sometimes (if I'm trying to go for it), and I have seen it here and there, where you can basically jump off the ball, and still have a reset forever.

purple shot seems like a physics bug. it's like the game momentarily increases your velocity as or after you land the reset, and in that window you contact the ball again and accelerate it.

[@TruthBeaconTales]

[@theonetruebean]

On mechanic 2, I feel like I remember seeing something like this but instead of doing the second dash they would boost and it would let them fly without using their jump on the ground.

[@anandpopo3529]

Hey guys, formal ssl (who doesn’t play rl anymore) and I know why the purple shot happens and it doesn’t require a flip. You don’t need to actually need to get the flip reset, you just need to get into the flip reset position and you need to press your jump button at the right time. The reason why this happens is because of a certain thing with your car. When you click your jump button without a flip, your car will actually move a little, but because it’s not noticeable a lot, the car will look the same as if you didn’t press the jump button. However, that little bit of movement will end up moving the ball by a lot, cause some of the little motion from the car will transfer to the ball, causing it to launch. That’s all it really is. Hope I cleared a lot of your questions for this specific mechanic.

[@Fatherandsonreact]

Theres one mechanic idk if it was made or not first, turn your car 90 degrees to the left (using left because it will be easier to explain) Second, hold your joystick upwards, while air rolling.

I think I meaby discovered a new type of musty flick. I would like you, Wayton to decide because you are very experienced. So if the ball is up in the air, you fly towards the ball and tilt the nose of your car up. In the mean time you use air roll to let the under side of the car face the camera. Then just wait till you can do a musty flick but with the back of your car. This is my describtion of the shot and I hope you could tell me if this could be meta in a year.

[@gabeitch8740]

[@balladin9200]

[@saifjassim6067]

I actually made a new mechanic that nobody can score on u when playing solos so when you boost to the ball like 1 length of a car away form it jump and do a backflip it will keep the ball near you or even troll your opponents if they decide to do a trick where they just don’t move then troll u it would stop them just do a unpredictable trick this is how to start a game properly (mainly works in duel)
