The tip about how long you have to hold down the stick for the duration of the adjustment is exactly what I was needing to hear, and you're the only youtuber to go into detail about it. Thank you!
@@MrNickillar I know, right. His previous video really didnt do it for me. Im a 25 YO who is long past it's peak but RL is about the only game I play and I feel like my mechanics are holding me down. I always procastinated training because of my age, im too old any way, but Im a champion who only knows how to dribble so I just wanna see how far this old bag of shit can make it knowing mechanics.
This is golden, 2k hours into this game, barelly a C1 player (3s - 2s and 1s all same rank or even D3 in 3s) FIRST TIME EVER I FELT IN CONTROL OF MY CAR IN THE AIR U should have minimum 500.000 subs, this is just something everyone need to know.
I’ve been trying to master air roll for a while now and your tutorial is amazing but a HUGE tip I found for air rolling is paying close attention to the hood of your car. I found that the direction you fly all relies on where the hood of your car is pointing. So, if you look at that while making minor adjustments you will be far more successful.
@@viso_exxtrad6479 bro im struggling to keep control while doing multiple flips. like for example when I need to do a really sharp left turn with air roll its hard for me to chain multiple spins together, any tips?
This video actually really helped. Unlike other big Rocket League RU-vidrs, you actually didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point in a very simple manner. Your channel is so underrated and you deserve more subs!
Really appreciate that thank you. The idea behind this little series of videos was to give people a jumping off point for how to go about starting to learn ARL / ARR it is not the be all and end all obviously but there should be plenty here to help people rather than just tell you all to "work it out for yourself". :)
the detail about how long you should hold the joystick down is something you forgot to mention on your other video. glad you explained it, else I whould have never known what I was doing wrong.
Cant even to begin how much this helped me. I got into a bad habit of not using a directional air roll and watching these videos help me a lot man. In just a few day I've made a ton a progress. Just want to say thanks for actually making a good tutorial.
glad u made an updated video. i must say, in one of your other videos you said "if you use air roll left, you should never press left on the analog stick." i stuck by this for a while and saw some improvement, but was still struggling. then i realized this really isnt the case. the "shortcut" tips youtubers give dont always translate well to beginners.
As a champ player whos been playing for a long ass time and never touched directional air roll, its been really weird trying to break my normal air roll habits that I've developed to get me to where I am, but I feel like this is definitely what will take me to GC. Now its just a matter of learning it for the first time again lol. Great vid, thanks for the insight sir.
Honestly thanks so much for this explanation. Every other youtuber is like "just practice over and over= car control", but having an explanation to know why something works one way has definitely sped up the training process.
I'm glad a content creator finally broke it down in this way. I would love to see a video on the best drills for practicing in free play or custom maps for console players like myself as I do not have access to rings unfortunately.
The Pillars and Utopia Retro maps have paths you can fly around on to practice your control. Pillars offers 3 paths: big circle around the outside, small circle through the middle, and a figure 8 around both pillars. Utopia Retro offers you a perfect circle with a tight tunnel to practice on. I like to try to get up as high as I can on it and then drop through the goal tunnel before shooting back up.
Some advice for the ones learning. Make sure when you're changing directions that you stop holding the thumbstick (tornado spin etc) when your car is rotated towards the direction you want to go.
I've known about directional air roll, but I've always neglected to use it and learn it. But, thanks to this air roll series, I've noticed my self getting better at directional air roll and actually using it a few times in game. I wonder why you are so underrated
Yo @Spook, the way i learned was adding in Slo-motion, then practicing either flying around a map or any of the rings maps (while incorporating air roll left) and litterally when it clicks, it clicks hard! Thx for the help man!
@@iZoid bakkesmod on pc, its only the ultimate training mod, but it makes my game stutter a little so i dont use it often it also makes my freeplay ever so slightly slow mo regardless for some reason so i dont use it often like i said lol
last season i peaked at gc3 N i’ve been learning air roll left for like a month now N i was pretty good wit it i could air dribble while holding it down the whole time but for some reason i would miss aerials this helped me a lot
i spent a good hour watching videos on how to air roll and but none helped. i saw someone recommend this video in the comments so i came over thinking "welp he goes another 15 minutes of bs and no help" BUT i was VERY WRONG! this video is by far the best one and it taught me a lot. i was practicing along side while watching this and my air control is already 10x better i got a lot to learn still but now i actually know how to turn in the air roll. this is 100% the best guide on how to air roll
GIMME SOME SPOOKLUKE! To all the youtubers out there, I've been a Patreon for two months now and I've legit gone from a low dimaond to champ player. SpookLuke is legit.
Best tutorial on directional air roll. I agree that so many other tutorials go into you just have to practice but practice what? Great content and descriptions on how to slowly get better at this.
You have no idea how long I’ve trying to learn how to air roll on my own.. (prob a couple of MONTHS) and I learned now by watching your video! Great explanation. Thank you so much.
only air roll tutorial i find usefull so far, every other one i've came across was always saying the same thing: "jump, air roll and practice", thats it, one even had the only explanation being LITERALLY "turn your car the direction you want to go and boost", yeah, sure thank you for actually getting into details, creators like you are needed
Also the term adjustments is something I don’t think I’ve heard other you tubers say or talk about, thinking about the turns as little adjustments makes things seem a lot easier and breaks air roll down into steps for me
This was great. An extra bit that I think has helped me out is -- going off what was said about input having an opposite effect when the top of the car is facing away from the camera -- I can alternate downright and upright half way through each rotation in order to have a bit more control.
I've been discouraged from practicing this for a while because I'm a console player. I'm going to try starting in the middle of the goal on one side of the field, and focus on moving to the other end in whichever direction I'm practicing. This should resemble the training at 10:16. For example, I'll start with moving to the right end of the field. The easier that becomes, move the distance closer to half field. Repeat this moving left and then alternate them together to mimic the small adjustments needed in the air with muscle memory. Hopefully I'll give this a try and report back with my progress!
Reporting back, it was the right idea but I found myself easily distracted lol. Just watched a video from Tipp and he suggested using the pillars map in free play. Because it's not a standard map it should keep me focused on the tips I learned in this video! Thanks for taking the time to read my rambling!
What I did to get started was realising that: Whenever the top of the car is facing me, I do my forward/backwards adjustments and whenever the top of the car is to the right/left side id make my right and left adjustments. Of course, this isn't perfect. To have it completely down I should also be able to adjust when the bottom of my car is facing me, and likewise for right/left movements. All id had to do is do the reverse of when the top of my car is facing me. But thats obviously easier said then done, still learning it
Great tips for an alternative way of doing it, this would work too but might get a bit confusing when in a rings situation but I would be interested to hear how your progress goes with it - thank you
This is by far the most understandable video on air rolling that I've seen thus far. With around 200 hours into the game, I've made it to diamond 1 and now I feel as though I should start developing these air rolling skills. I've was practicing for a few days but I just could not get a grasp on how to do it. I tried watching multiple videos on it but like you mentioned, they all said the same thing where u just gotta play the game and figure it out on your own. This vid tho has actually flat-out showed what to do and when to do it and I very much appreciate it and you earned yourself a subscriber :)
Subbed and liked. I have watched every video on air roll. They all say the same stuff but don’t go into explanation on how to control/turn the car. You are the only one who actually explains it.
I usually play on xbox but you just made me download this on PC for this tutorial so I can play the rings map. Then was watching a tutorial on how to get the rings map on PC and then realised it was another of your tutorials. Subbed after that, your the only channel I need to get all my tips for rocket league lol
Air roll right is the opposite way, also KBM uses W and S + tornado spin so basically if u have air roll left then to go left you hold Q S D and to go right you hold Q W D. Air roll right however is the opposite so basically A S E for right and A W E for left, thank me later. Edit: Q and E arent needed for directional air roll on kbm, you can change it to whatever you want but mine are binded to Q for left and E for right. Also tornado spin is Air roll left/right button+ A/D, A for air roll right and D for air roll left if u were wondering
The trick with the joystick finally shows how it's changing the direction of your car efficiently. I only used directional air roll just to get good contact with the ball.
Finally someone goes in depth with this. That part when you talk about how long do you press your sticks for was the piece i was missing. I watched like few hours worth of aerial car control videos and couldn’t get anything down. Great job and thank you!
Such a good tutorial. Most other youtubers just say "Use air roll left, and try to practice making slight adjustments in the air." Without actually saying which adjustments to make.
The best tip i ever got was, air roll movement comes from learning the 4 basic spin motions: kuxir twist (down), reverse kuxir twist (up), tornado spin (left or right), and reverse tornado spin (opposite tornado spin). The combinations of those 4 spins, are all you need. That being said, 4 months later and circling pillars is still hard
I can’t even remember what I was doing before but watching this video once got me from struggling to air roll through the first section of Leth’s Giant Rings for 20 minutes before giving up to getting further than I’ve ever gotten in that same amount of time. Thank you
Been using the pillar map like you said and it help lots combined with practicing air roll left from one net the roof of the other whilst trying to slightly throw myself off course using the joystick, on day 1 I could do 1 quarter of the pillar map, day 2 I could do half and day 3 I could do 3/4 and so on, thanks a lot!
This is, quite simply, the best rocket league tutorial I've ever watched. Your mention of the microsecond adjustments and their durations required for this mechanic was exactly (and I mean EXACTLY) what I needed to know to improve my own air rolls. Congratulations sir, you just earned yourself a loyal subscriber. 😊
i remember watching this a few months ago trying to do flip resets without tornado spinning, while i could do it kinda sketchy i started forcing the spin and thinking i will never get this down, its impossible for me. Literally just forced myself to do it on every aerial/takeoff until it became a problem. Was spinning too much an botching easy plays, in doing so though i learned how to correct in so many diff situations as well as when to an not to spin. Point is, like he says, it will feel impossible at first but you CAN and WIL do it. Dont give up!
G3-P1 in 1v1, G1-2 in 2v2 and 3v3. Your videos made me started practicing aerial and prevented tons of frustration from this process so thanks a lot man. Coaching until gc sounds amazing and it’ll make a huge difference for my rl experience. Keep going! Your content is top tier.
this has to be the most complicated mechanic in the game and you just made the best tutorial I could possibly ask for on it. You went so far in detail beyond other RU-vidrs I've seen.
This actually helped a ton. I sat there for 2 hours so confused why holding my stick to the left was turning my car is such a weird way. I’ll make sure to sub bro
I was already GC2 when I discovered that everyone was using air roll left. When I started practicing I was doing the Lethamyr Rings map and I just instantly started spinning continuously. I actually learned air roll controll very quickly by going all the way from the start. You don't necessarily have to start with singular spins, but if you aren't in a higher rank already it might help doing it step by step.
Kbm Air roll left right+down : to move left(in neutral position) Right+up : to get to neutral position (do this only for some time and see step 2 for when to do it)
@Jens Devriese I believe it is but I'm not sure, this video gave me an idea that I should do my own experiment to see what inputs do what and that just seems like the perfect video idea so I'll be doing a video too
I rarely comment on videos, but I want to say a BIG thank you! As a C2 player who has been stuck in my rank for ages, and not really improving anything for years except game sense etc. this gives me new energy to play this game. I struggled in the beginning, but thanks to your videos I am for once really motivated to grind out this game and to keep on improving. After only a few hours I'm already starting to see major progress. Thank you!
Ok, so I normally doesn't comment on these type videos but I had to leave you a message. I personally find your tutorials to be the best I've found on RU-vid. The way you explain them is just easier out of all videos I've seen. Nice job dude....From a 46 year old Plat 2 :)
This is a much needed video in the rocket league community. All other air roll videos currently published fall short in the ways that you mentioned. Thanks for filling the gap
You mention getting back to the neutral position after I turn. How do I get back to the neutral position? I turn, but then I just keep going and eventually spin out of control
So once you have stopped doing the input and you have continued air rolling eventually the top of your car will be facing you on screen. That is the neutral position you are waiting for to make the adjustments (at least to start with).
I don't subscribe to many channels but ever since I stumbled over your first air roll video you had my subscription. As you mentioned in this video, the whole 'just try it in freeplay' approach doesn't really work for me and I really appreciate how you analyze and break down mechanics. Hope your support and channel keep growing!
omg, this is fucking amazing, took me like 15-20 minutes to actually be able to somewhat have car control in the air, THIS IS SOOOO GOOD, thanks man dropped a sub as well
i will say that beofre watching your directional Air Roll vids i was dependent on normal air roll and at the time i was okay with that. But then i wanted to be better and i came across your video. since watching i've improved SOO much. THANX FOR THESE! KEEP EM COMING! XD
This is by far the best video on directional air roll! other videos i've watch just say do this with the thumbstick ect and didn't mention the natural position...thanks!
Thanks, I'm stucked with air roll right for a month so my muscle memory has developed different adjustment movements, but it works too. But I always love to watch more guides on it. Great video!
Your last video inspired me to start usuing air roll left and it helped me figure out how to turn left with it but turning right 8s way harder and I cannot do it for some reason
Bro like your last air roll video was already way better than others in yt and this one its even better, it completes the other one and makes everything so clear and easy. Thank you very much!
I haven't gone on yet but I can just tell this is gonna be the most helpful video for improving my aerial car control. I'm c3 with ok car control but with this video and practice I should get much better. Great video and you earned a sub 👍🏻
Thank you so much, I have been flying in free play for 2 weeks and well I can hit the ball but I didn’t have any control. This makes a lot a sense , thanks 🙏
Another amazing video tutorial Spook thank you. This has really my progress with air rolling no end and I am actually building an understanding of what I am doing and more importantly why. I think this coupled with your other air roll left videos should be more than enough to get anyone doing it as long as they put the time in to practice. One tip I might add is when I was learning from your videos I went to leth’s giant rings map and set it to impossible mode and I kept driving through and back through the first stage over and over. It gives you enough opportunities to learn the movement patterns without being too difficult but gives you the rings to aim for.
Merci beaucoup c'est très utile, l'anglais est simple a comprendre, les explications sont hyper claires et introuvables chez les francophones qui disent "maintenez le bouton air roll et essayez de comprendre par vous même" alors GG à toi pour avoir réussi a synthétiser tout ça, ça doit quand même pas être simple à expliquer
Love to see that you're involved in Rocket League nowadays. You were one of the most underrated channels back in the Fortnite days but fr Carcratz most underrated channel on youtube on god on my momma
I am a champ player just starting to learn air roll now. The thing im thinking about a lot is WHEN to use it. So at risk of sounding completely noobie, is the primary purpose that it is simply a more stable way to aerial? As in, once you can control your airl roll you can better control your movement in the air? An added perk being that it adds a lot of distraction and second guessing for your opponents 😂
Dude serious you need more subs, I have watched so many damn tutorials trying to get a grasp on aerial car control, and you have BY FAR explained it the best. Thank you, seriously, thank you!
I tell you what Spook, there has not been a better air roll tutorial that I have seen yet! I really enjoy the more in-depth look at this and it almost instantly clicked for me for the fundamentals of air roll left. I have watched a ridiculous amount of air roll videos on YT from several different creators and this one by far is the best quality for those who are just getting into air roll all the way to those who are looking to finally master it, thanks for putting in the effort and making such an awesome vid!
thanks man! really helpful stuff! this would have taken me forever to figure out on my own. Still a Noob, but this definitely makes my learning curve a little steeper.
You are by far the best person I have ever seen at explaining mechanics, this and the speed kick off earned you a loyal sub thank you and I wish you the best.
Guys Iam just wondering who watch spook videos till the last second because I always do. I also want to thank spook for the hard work put in your videos I found this video is the most helpful aerial video Ive seen on any platform, I love your vids so much spook and wish u all the best in life. Love you❤️
thank you this is exactly what i needed. Bones had a good video but it didnt say some specific things to really help me get started without trial and erroring myself into a headache.
