This is the true story of how flip resets evolved in Rocket League. A cinematic Rocket League documentary for the purpose of appreciating the complexity of this beautiful game that is Rocket League. So many hours go into the making of these documentary videos and this one in particular I put even more effort into than normal. Enjoy!

The flip reset is known by many professional players to be the hardest base mechanic in Rocket League. It took more than 2 years from when it was officially possible in the game for it to be pulled off in the pro scene for the first time. As soon as it reached that level, it quickly worked its way to becoming an essential mechanic in the RLCS. Scoring a flip reset in the RLCS is one of the most difficult things to do. Against the best defenders in the world, it’s hard to find anything that can get by them. But the flip reset is one of the most effective tools used to score even against the best in the world. This is the story of how they came to be. From just an idea someone had on reddit, to a beautiful and deadly mechanic being pulled off by the best in the world, this is the story of how flip resets evolved in Rocket League.

I never knew it but I was waiting for this kind of RL content. Mechanics and they way they are used have changed, evolved, been innovated etc. over the course of RL's lifespan. Cool to see a video reflecting on this for one of the most iconic mechs in the game.

@AleksHugs 2 года назад

Incredible ingenuity to see the potential in this mechanic so early man. I’m sure no one ever believed that people would be hitting triple resets and double taps from landing on the ball upside down in the air when commenting on that thread. I always look back at these moments of discovery as “golden eras” of a game when everything is still so mysterious and theoretical. I can still feel the excitement for what’s to come when reading your post, even 6 years later when I know the outcome haha

Hey Wayton, beautiful video. Very well edited & informational. However, for these types of videos a timeline in terms of month/year would be a lot easier to follow than "RLCS season XX" for the more casual audience such as myself. I'm not sure when all of those seasons started/ended, so it's hard to establish a timeline. & prior to any of the RLCS seasons mentioned it was hard to realize how slow/fast everything was evolving since no dates were mentioned. I might suggest in future videos of a similar genre to show the month/year in the corner for every new event discussed. Thanks for the content!

@WaytonPilkin 2 года назад

Good idea. I’ll mention the dates more often in the future.

Lovely video! Always good to get a reminder of how long it took until it was in RLCS. From the back of my mind I would of thought it was much earlier. Granted Deevo did a flip reset at Season 3 LAN (June 2017) but he was always the outlier. Fysho also always a legend. I remember when he posted on twitter about how he finally hit one in-game.
