Learning the more advanced mechanics in the game and having the option to be a little bit more flashy in game is always more fun. So we are going to be going over a straightforward routine that you can apply to any mechanic and have it figured out fairly quickly.

Rocket League Freestyle Tutorial: How To Freestyle In Rocket League 2022  

This guide is all about how to learn different mechanics in the game and how to break down each different freestyle mechanic in a different way. It's about building a training routine so that you can practice different freestyle mechanics in your own time if you find it difficult working with a freestyle tutorial. The four steps being research, understand, attempt and review.

1. Research

The first thing you have to do is know what you want to go for. So using flip resets, look into the mechanic to know more about it, how it works, why it works. A flip reset is where you place all four of your wheels on a surface while in flight to regain your flip. As you know, your car has two jumps, one being the normal jump and the second being a potential flip as you aim your analog stick in the direction of your choice. Once using these two jumps, you cannot jump again until landing on all four wheels. This is the whole premise behind a flip reset. So the goal of a flip reset is to first have all four wheels touch the ball while in flight. So we can then gain a flip to use it anytime and potentially score with.

2. Understanding a mechanic

Understanding a mechanic in Rocket League is a lot easier than any other game and that's just because this game never changes. As in there are no map changes that will affect anything, there will be no nerfs or buffs, the core mechanics, the core gameplay kind of stays how it is. What you see now is what you will probably see a year down the track. So it is very easy to go look up some freestylers or some clip headers and just watch what they do. You can go through some videos and you'll see a bunch of flip resets, watch a load of montages or a load of clips of people hitting flip resets or whatever you are learning and you just watch every little aspect of the mechanic. You look at where they are starting the mechanic from how far up the wall they are jumping from, how fast they are going, are they boosting when they leave the wall, are they boosting when they make contact, which way are they rotating their car are they rotating the car at the beginning or towards the end. 

In order to understand the mechanic, you need to look at each individual aspect of the mechanic, not just the moment the four wheels connect with the ball. So watch clips and slow them down until you feel like you’ve got a good look at each little part of the motion. For resets, looking from the moment the player is moving towards the wall to the moment the goal is scored. Everything in between is something you want to break down and isolate to learn more about. 

3. Attempt 

Knowing how to do things doesn't mean you can't do them, this is why pro teams have coaches, the pro players may be the best players in the world but they still need a coach to help them along the way. On the other side of that, the coach might not be one of the best players in the world, but they still have the insight to know what should be done and how it should be played. So please keep that in mind just because you know how to doesn't mean you should automatically be able to do so. When attempting, always tell people to break down everything one step at a time. So knowing what you know about the setup, first work on that, the speed, how you approach the wall, knowing which angle to go from and knowing when to make contact with the ball on the wall.

The next aspect of the mechanic which in this case is going up and actually getting the reset. Looking at how you turn your car, how you move into position your boost management everything. Then finally work on the last part which is scoring. Doing this, breaking down everything step by step instead of just diving in head first and trying it all out is the easiest way to see where the mistakes are being made and how you can fix the small problems that you may be having.

4. Review

This is simple but maybe the best part of the whole process. Once you find one of the flaws or the little mistakes, you then watch that one aspect of someone else's play. If you can't get the actual connection part down, bring up someone's flip reset clip and watch that part over and over. Are they boosting more or less than you, are you making the connection too late, are you facing the right way for all four wheels to connect at the same time? There are countless questions to go over but they can all be answered by a simple compare and review. Learning new mechanics and improving your gameplay is one of the most fun aspects of Rocket League upping your level of play, and in some cases your level of flashiness can be what drives people forward.
