- 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.

As you can imagine, these types of videos take an incredibly long time to make. If you enjoyed, it would mean so much if you could consider subscribing or sharing with someone else you think might enjoy it too.
Already done
Been subbed for a while. Keep up the good content.
The video was epic
Hi
Love you
Bro I just realized I own the alpha wheels of the player with the first documented flip rest...Fyshokid!

Long live the Flip Restore! Great video man, you can see how much work went into this!
i just learned how to sometimes hit triple flip restores in training aiming for hitting a quad flip restore in training by end of this season

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.
Rocket Sledge has a video similar to this but he goes over 5 mechanics, obviously in less detail than Wayton in this video. I recommend it
This. There's so many different ways it can be used in so many different scenarios, that alone keeps RL playability at the top compared to other games.
@@henrykaufman5177 such a great rec! Love that video as well but I did mean videos that dive into one particular mechanic and its history/development. Still, it's all such great content, thankful that these guys have taken the time to out this stuff out there.
@@ryanlogue3342 for real, and that goes for so many things in RL. As time has gone on, it's become clear to me just how high the mechanical skill ceiling is and how far players are from reaching it.
You only said this because you have seen his community post. Tell me if I am right. lol
It feels so incredible to even be a minuscule part of this story.
Props to Wayton for digging so deep to research on this one! Great video
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
recognition 6 years later of an avant-gardist thought experiment, damn I would love to have that feeling
Yeah sure, if miniscule means that without you we wouldn't have the rocket league we have today
Just finished. Wow. The amount of work that went into this is so evident, you had me totally engaged all the way through. Very very well done sir.
Sevorion about to make something super cinematic as well

Loved this! I had no idea it stemmed back 6 months after release that’s nuts.
Since when do you care about Rocket League Phil?

I love how you tell these stories. Its nice watching them as a new player to the community

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!
Good idea. I’ll mention the dates more often in the future.
agreed
@@WaytonPilkin thanks wayton you're the man! Earned a sub 🙂
Seeing First Killer be such a noob is so amazing
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.
Yeah crazy to look back on it. Thanks man! Means a lot coming from you :)
BANGER VIDEO!
Hello Mr sandman :)
Ew it’s sandman
@@scuffedhighlights9580 ok
Wayton, this is undoubtedly your best video of all time. The time and effort you spent putting into this is unimaginable. The teaser was no joke; this was a masterpiece, and I look forward to more similar to this in the near future. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into satisfying us, you completely overachieved!
🤩 HOLY SHIT, CHILLS THE ENTIRE VIDEO!!!
🐐 I'm playing Rocket League since 2015 and watching this video felt nostalgic and like watching a child grow up or some shit idk how to describe, simply incredible.
🙏 Thank you Wayton!
Just adds to my love of the game- just a quirky "this will probably change nothing" edit to the gameplay turns into one of the most useful high-level mechanics
Its interesting to watch these because I lived them watching the game since 2015.
For me the draw is nostalgia, but for others its interesting to think they could be hearing the history for the first time.
Great video!
Your storytelling is top tier, my friend.
You're going places.
This video felt like an entire sports movie. It inspired me. It humbled me. It made me want to practice. So good 👍
Great production quality 👍. The time you put in was defenetly worth it. keep up the nice content.
Damn wayton, these story type of vids just keep getting better man! Great Job :)
What a amazing video Wayton my friend. The amount of boom arm camera work you have done for these visuals must have been taxing to say the least. And it turned out sooo great.
Of course the script, edits and narrations were on point as to be expected from your work.
Out F’en standing.
Amazing video!!! The story telling in this one was incredible. Gave me chills on multiple ocasions
i dont know why but i just keep coming back and watching this video over and over again
With no new videos being uploaded by you for a whole 2 weeks, I actually noticed your absence.
Now, I don't say this to make you feel bad about taking longer. Quite the contrary. You should be proud!
The quality of content and videos you put out to our community has become a staple to RL on TH-cam. You are one of the best content creators RL has ever had, to the point where I actually notice when I haven't seen a new video by you recently, and makes me really look forward to the next story you tell us. And this one, was excellent! Thank you, Wayton
The quality and the amount of work that went into this video are second to none. Major props to you, Wayton.
Absolute love this masterpiece and hardwork. Really hoping to see more content along the same format soon.
This is fantastic! I understand these videos take a lot of time to make, but still, I would love to see more like this. Well done, Wayton!
I’m so happy that someone is finally bringing documentary style content to rocket league.
Zen was around early early.
idk if thats the real zen
as more and more new players & fans join this game, content like this is super important. well done.
Great video, I imagine it would go crazy with redo of the thumbnail
Cheatahh watches rl other than mc
WOW
Omg it's minecraft man again
One of the finest Rocket League videos ever produced. Hat off to Wayton.
6:42 WAIT A MOMENT IS THAT ZEN?????
Amazing Video Wayton as always , keep up the good work!
wait ZEN?
Jamesbots ability to read the play is what makes him the best caster imo
zen as in vitality zen? he woulda been like 11 or is this a different dude maybe some clarity is in order given the current era
same dude
Just wow. I can see how much work you have put into this video. I recently started hitting flip resets in training and never new the story behind it. I just love these kind of videos. Keep up the good work. You deserve more views. Love it king❤👑
Zen… where he is now is crazy
Waittt so that's the same zen? Damn hiw young was he back then
I think its zenulous but it could be the French one
@@chiefkeeq6438 it’s a different zen
4:50 OMG!! I remember this upload!!! Its what got me into resets!!!! :o
that is insane, I love the video
Bro I am so dumb I never knew ZeN was a freestyler.
that may be a different zen
I love the cinematic stories. They are so well done and you tell the stories so greatly! We all want to see more of them!
This is insane. Really well done. It’s honestly wild to think about how my flip reset goals in champ were once the pinnacle of rocket league on a pro level. Now the possibilities are limitless
I love your cinematic videos! Even if it takes two weeks, it is definitely worth it for the amazing quality and entertainment. Please make more of these!
Im GC 2 and trying to practice double flip resets. I can still remember back to their introduction and i fully underestimated its use
Just use stalls lol
Feels nostalgic and emotional seeing squishy from the c9 days doing a flip reset... Those were the most memorable days...
I watched ur vids now and then but I subbed now.
Lol zen was 10 years old in 2018
alpha was pretty smart in his play with the double tap
rewatching these old clips will literally give me goosebumps. its crazy
The art of a double tap was published 2 years ago already. I was astonished by it. I always wanted to see something similar about flip resets and finally here it is! This video is on par with that. Good job, Wayton!
Great quality, I always love these!
Also I find it incredible how much of a Pioneer Johnnyboi is in so many aspects of this game
i would recommend checking one of the oldest freestyler that was back in the day known as sting, whos also the infamous guy who created the sting pop.
literally a piece of history
I can't believe how little I payed attention to rocket league over the years. This game is so completely different today than when it first came out and I think more people should have their eyes on rocket league again.
This just completely hooked me in within the first 5 minutes!
You attract people with your story telling so well and fast!
This was an awesome video dude, good stuff!
Thank you for putting so much effort into videos like this Wayton, it pays off.
This was so much fun! A really good video format and story!
Dude your videos are so fascinating that I can't stop watching them. It feels like I was watching a little short movie and 16 minutes feels like 10 seconds because it makes so much fun. Keep going, mate
Wayton I am speechless. The content you are uploading is amazing and I can see just how much effort you put into these videos. Great job man keep up the awesome uploads!
the music,the document,the animation is all down to the einstein of rocket league! Great job wayton this does deserves a like,subscribe and a share.
This my friend is the content that no one asked for but 100% the content we all needed. Keep up the good work.
If RL were to make a documentary, it should be produced by Wayton.
Every aspect of this was beyond spectacular...just tickled pink with the VHS touch!
omg i literally cried during this video its literally the best video i have ever seen such good editing perfect clips and the best story telling ever definenetely got my sub bro! You are insane!
4:27 unintentionally exemplifies how hitboxes are broken in this game
I love the documentary type RL content. Great video Wayton!
Woww. That was... something else. Thanks for the amazing time and effort you put into this. I feel like I just watched a movie. Ur a legend
You called that this Video will be a banger documentary and it's even better than i thought. I can't wait to see more documentarys like this.
one of the most beautiful storys every!! Amazing video wayton i love ur content!!!!!!
I remember being at lanvegas seeing squishy pull off multiple flip resets in a lan setting. The whole crowd and even myself were absolutely astonished. Truly one of the greats.
Crazy how a game can evolve at such high level
Loving the production quality of these stories
Dude how is this so good?
Wayton does not disappoint with his documentaries.
This got me more and more hyped the longer it went. Down right amazing video.
Freakin insane! The 2018 portion watching firstkiller and retals try flip resets on each other 3 years versus watching them today (really this last weekend in the RLCS tournament) inspires so much hope to all the less-practiced players.. including myself! This video is mental. What a riveting tale... This video boosts morale for the Rocket League community for sure. I one day hope to be a channel people can come and enjoy a unique creative spin on rocket league, from stories to fame or fail, first amazing shots whether in training, casual or competative, and truly share some laughs and be an overall friendly hub for all RL fans bronze to SSL, or just people who enjoy the game in general!
Wayton’s vids are just built different lmao
As someone that just started playing rocket league within the past year, learning how to flip reset on command is a long term goal. I’m D2 and improving but I always felt behind my fellow diamond players mechanically so it’s reassuring to know that it took even the pros 2-3 years to get flip resets down to that level. It just looks so fun
Its wild to have watched these streams at the time they actually happened and now be watching them again in a "history of" video.
Actually, half-flips were discovered back in 2010 with SARPBC, Cole & Stumpy from SubparButInHD made a throwback montage using various clips from the community and a top level Belgian player named wesh92 was already using them consistently.
I think the waytons stories are my favorite of his videos.
Wayton kills it every time! So much editing and time put into every video. Let's get this man to 1 mill subs and beyond!
Penguins fly good should get a special title for discovering this mechanic that completely changed the trajectory of rocket leagues future
@Wayton Pilkin there are so much things i didn't now about flip resets before watching this vid
Great Video man I can tell you put a lot of effort in
The RL community isn't always great a naming things, but "flip reset" is both an awesome name and significantly better than "late flip restore via ball".
beautiful vid wayton, im so glad you're out here making vids :)
this felt like a whole movie, this was amazing
Liked and subbed great vid.
That Alpha fake flip reset goal is one.of the most intriguing aspects of this mechanic and how it changed players psychies. Such a beautiful mechanic and well worth highlighting.
It's crazy how it took pros so long to learn the flip reset originally, but in present day that has changed, where platinums hit 54 resets in a row. What an crazy trick.
bro the research that goes into this would be unimaginable, props to you man
This should honestly be a Netflix documentary.
Finally...the best wayton video ever has arrived
This video is incredible. Thank you Wayton!
hey! nice job on this video! I could not help but smile and feel the power of this game while watching, I really enjoyed it!
I remember once playing rocket league with you, just on random que, you're a nice guy :)
I find it amazing how people once given some tools too have competitive fun, they will immediately start to maximalize their performances to new peaks. One year someone discovers something, next year it's nice but who cares, 2 years and everybody is mesmerized by the perfect dance of movement. I like to look at football in this way, how someone learns new dribble skill and everybody needs to learn how to do it and defend it.
i remember when people discovered these, majority of the community thought these would never be used in rlcs due to how nobody was consistent at it, now even plats are doing it
Absolutely insane that this was just a funny little gameplay change that the devs wanted for underpass. Also you are the best at making these videos❤❤❤
