Rocket League Sideswipe Beginners Mechanics Tutorial – Tips For New Players In Sideswipe Mobile

1. Rocket League Sideswipe Air Roll

In Rocket League, when you air roll, you use the arrow button and then you hold left or right on your stick to spin left or right or you'll use the air roll left or arrow right buttons. In Sideswipe, when you want to air roll, all you need to do is double-tap your left joystick button and you'll constantly spin every time your wheels leave the floor. One interesting thing about this mechanic is even after you land you'll keep spinning next time you jump as well. If you want to stop spinning, all you need to do is just lift your finger off the screen, then next time you jump you'll just do a regular aerial. 


2. Rocket League Sideswipe Fast Aerials

When you play Rocket League Sideswipe for the first time, your aerials will be super slow. However, there's actually a third way that's much faster and will take your gameplay to the next level in terms of speed, it's called the fast aerial. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the fast aerial and those regular two aerials. As you can see it's so much faster to do a fast aerial in Sideswipe. 

Rocket League Sideswipe Mechanics Tutorial For Beginners

All you need to do is press jump and boost at the same time and aim in the direction you want to go. This might be easy if you play the game with three or four fingers. But if prefer to play with just your two thumbs, there's a much easier way to do this. Just click settings in the top right, then click show options if you're in-game or game settings if you're in the main menu, then configure. Then you can see all of the icons that usually appear on your screen including the jump boost and quick chat and then the icon called boosted jump, this is the one we want, just press on Revert To Default and then click enabled, then you'll have an extra icon on your screen and when you press it there's your fast aerial.


3. Rocket League Sideswipe Air Dribbles 

In Rocket League, ground to air dribbles is one of the most difficult but effective mechanics in the game. And in sideswipe, they're just as effective but about 10 times easier. The way to do one is the same as in Rocket League, you get the ball onto your roof and then you jump tilt back and boost carrying the ball up into the air. You can do this using the jump and boost buttons. However, it's much easier to use the boosted jump button that we just talked about. That ground-to-air dribbles can be your primary use of the boosted jump button, they're just so easy with it.


4. Rocket League Sideswipe Flip Resets

Just as you can do flip resets in normal Rocket League, you can also do for the presets in Sideswipe. For anyone not familiar with what a flip reset is usually when you're on the ground, you can jump once and then either double jump if you're not holding any direction or flip if you are holding a direction. The only way to reset those jumps or flips is to land on the ground again. There's another way to reset them, it's known as a flip reset and it's when you land on the ceiling to reset them or you land on the ball to reset them. It's one of the most useful and coolest mechanics in both Rocket League and sideswipe and it's something that you should add to your game as soon as possible.


5. Rocket League Sideswipe Aerial Speed

The last Rocket League Sideswipe mechanics tip is how to increase your aerial speed. In Sideswipe, the direction you're aiming is the direction your car will move towards even if your wheels aren't touching the ground. So if you're airborne and you want to stay airborne for as long as possible, aim upwards. But if you want to get down to the ground as quickly as possible, aim down.
