I can’t recommend the Ganer method enough. I started a week ago per Kevpert’s recommendation (on hoops maps instead). The first day it took me literally 300 deaths to get to level 3, a week later I can get to around 10 in 20-30 deaths. It’ll be frustrating at first, but it forces you to learn every input in every orientation. I’ve seen more improvement in one week than I have in the 3 months I’ve been trying to incorporate ARL.
At what level should one begin grinding this? Im champ 1, but i use very little air roll left in games, i can complete rings maps with continious air roll left, but im mostly just tornado spinning. Just curious if i should send it now or keep working more basic training methods. Thanks!
@gretsyuk1387 You're absolutely at the level where you send it. If you start now and put in the time each day, think about where you'll end up in a few months! Best of luck 😀
Your thumbnails are so superior, keep doing them. I also can’t wait for new videos from this channel, your tutorials are like nothing that was ever on TH-cam, they go so in depth and you cover many topics other rocket league TH-camrs just don’t talk about. Keep up the great work!
Haha thank you! They take quite a bit of time to do, but they're fun to make. I've been enjoying making the tutorials too - playing catch up for all the years I've been away.
Dude I’m so glad your back! I have been really busy the past few months so haven’t played much. My exams finish this week and I’m gonna focus all summer using your tutorials. Currently GC1. Wish me luck and thanks for these videos.
what i appreciate is you make valuable in depth training plans which even if im not gonna follow consistently its still something new to do and fun way to train
Kevpert what would you recommend for a player that has more than 1 hours to train his mechanics ? Is it even logical for a player to train his mechanics for 3-4 hours and if yes what would a training plan look like ? Edit: Day 1: 13 Seconds
Hey KaiZen! I think 90-120 minutes for training is pretty solid, it's what some pros do. Really, aerial training is going to pay off the most (that's where the game is trending), but you need a little room for fundamentals too.
This is tangential but I really wanted to learn power mustys/ flip cancel mustys the past month. I experimented with unlimited flips and I found that to be the quickest way to isolate the mechanic. I ended up improving much quicker this way than any method before. It eliminates the speed requirement for adjusting your car so that you can slowly practice and develop the speed over time. I gradually added layers such as limited boost, resetting off the ball and resetting off the ceiling.
that's how I first started to learn musty's, but later down the line i realized the hardest part about musty's was getting the flip off the ball/ceiling then getting around the ball to the right spot, the actual flick isn't the hard part. Gotta learn a lot of weird car control things to maneuver properly and unlimited flips didn't help me so i basically had to start from scratch
What a great video! Have been playing since it cane oit back in 2015 but am stuck on diamond 1. Silly question whete can I adjust the gravity? Is it in the mod ?
It's in Bakkesmod -> F2 -> Current Game. You can adjust the slider there. Gotta be on PC though. You can also use the Low Gravity mutator in Exhibition mode though. That's the play if you're on a console.
@@Kevpert Could you make a more detailed explanation of the plat-champ routine. what to focus on and how to inprove using this. i did it twice now, but it feels like im just tumbeling around and wasting time.
@thefullblazer blazer if you are tumbling around too much, then do the routine in the old "Advanced Car Control" video. That one is one that if you do for 2-3 weeks, you will rapidly improve. This one kinda adds on to that. If you still keep tumbling, reduce gravity if you can, and feather your boost. If you're on console, do these drills in exhibition mode with the low gravity mutator.
the holding boost and air rolling drill really gives me a hard time, trying to learn to use air roll right from playing 2500+ hours of air roll. i just dont see how its possible to change directions that quickly while holding air roll and boost constantly. I always get stuck going one direction then it seems no matter which way i turn the joystick it just keeps going the same way.
wow i used to struggle massively with directional air roll before, but after only 3 days, i can do entire ring maps while holding air roll the entire time, i can not stress enough how good this method is, thank you kevpert 🙂
Air roll left + full boost on that obstacle course is rough😂 I honestly think I've been doing ARL wrong this entire time after watching your controller overlay, I barely move my joystick and you are constantly moving yours so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong.
I had the same exact problem. I started doing the Ganer method a week ago on rings maps. It took me 300 deaths to get to level 3 my first day, felt like I was learning ARL all over. Now I can get to level 10 in 20 deaths. It works because it makes you do adjustments constantly when you’re uncomfortable.
@@TruthAndReconciliation With the method I was using I can air roll left all the way to level 7 on the Medieval rings map and a few other workshop maps with 0 deaths but I know I'm not doing it right so giving up on the old way. I tried doing the training plan from the video, and it feels like someone blindfolded me and I'm just pressing buttons😂😂, but I will stick with it and hopefully improve.
@@linktheunsunghero5419 I was the same way I think. I could get through rings maps fairly easily, but I realized I was relying on inputs and orientations I was already familiar with. In real games, you don’t usually have time to wait for your car to be in the perfect position though, and any slow input means you get beat. Learning it this way makes it feel harder, but I think you actually learn a ton more
@@TruthAndReconciliation That sounds exactly like what I was doing waiting for the car to face a certain way and you're definitely right It wasn't working that well for me in-game only rings/freeplay
That is completely up to you. Start with something basic, like 1 hour of mechanical training, and then go from there. See how you respond and figure out what you like. What makes you the most sharp? What improves you the most? That way over time, you develop the ability to coach yourself and figure out ways to improve through plateaus or slumps. That's an invaluable skill, and it's a skill all pros have.
Hey kev. I have a bad habit of using tornado spin for almost every aerial control, left, right, everythjng. Is that bad right? Also im KBM, i have airroll left on q , but i use almost all the time Q and D , right in analog.
booted up obstacle 2, struggled on 1 and 2, first try'd 3 and felt like a god, but then got stuck on 4 for 10 min and now i hate my life, 10/10 would recommend
Haha I would recommend skipping level 4 and 5. The ones after are WAY easier. I still mostly skip 5 to be honest. Even Obstacle Course 1 is easier than level 5.
Could someone explain how to direct/manage attitude and go down or up using air roll left because it just is not clicking. Going left or right makes sense and I've been using air roll left for about a year or so now
After watching this guide i immediately went to try the ganer method and it is extremely difficult compared to just holding dar the whole time. I definitely see the potential in this training, thanks for sharing
I have a question - I play on keyboard and with the way I have set up my binds I have no reason to use free air roll, just directionals for everything. So I just skip all free air roll training? I have no idea how to use it anyways and no good place to bind it
Free air roll is completely optional and probably unneeded for most players. There's tons of pros and freestylers that only use directional air roll, so you're in good company.
Thank you Kev, that gravity idea is exactly what I’ve been looking for to fine tune my ball control in the air. As someone who’s only used free air roll up to GC, do you think I should put in the effort to learn directional?
hey kevpert! on the first drill, i'm having trouble going downwards while holding air roll left and boost, especially on level 11 of the obstacle course you displayed on the video. can you tell us which inputs on the joystick will get you towards a certain direction? (using ARL). Also, how much time should we spend on each drill? (I'm low GC in 2's,)
I use Dynamic Air Roll Left/Right (I have them on L2/R2). That allows me to do flatter & wider tornado spins, so it's a little easier for me. Otherwise, you'll have to boost down a little bit and then boost upwards to have a controlled descent. It's not impossible, I can do it too, it's just not nearly as easy.
@@Kevpert Thanks kev, i’ve found that by troubleshooting and putting in time in the drill on different workshop maps, i’m decreasing the amount of blackout moments i have when doing the drill. Love the vids! can you do a video maybe talking about consistency and / or how to analyze replays to improve ?
@@Kevpert i explain the reason i said it on a message i sent on another video, follow up to that would be great if you can colab with a programmer to do anything like that, Half way dead from Rocket Science comes to mind 🤓🦾 Btw bro your dodge control video is soooo good, i dont know if you have a video on the plugins you currently use, but if you dont pls make one
never really managed to get the hang of directional airroll if i'm honest, did manage to do my first speed jump trials 4 run holding it after trying this at a time i'm not too proud of (over 7x standard airroll time), but going from there to rings feels like such a leap, managing only a few levels of leth ice rings before getting hard stuck.. are there any intermediary steps you would recommend to help get the air roll left down a little better to help more beginner directional airroll people who struggle to get the hang of it? (c1, already spent a few dozen hours trying with it in the past)
@@user-fo6bv4ir3v i tried some of those drills before but as you say progress feels like its just not coming, much less so when trying to involve a ball. doezens as about 60 hours i guess rather than a dozen without too much progress it feels like. the fact i did finish speed jump trials suggests there was progress but it doesnt feel like it most of the time. thank you for sharing, a few drills you mentioned i have not tried as well will try those out see if i have better luck with them
To add on to what Ciro is saying, be patient and relaxed. I have over 10K hours and it's all about having a healthy approach to the game. What I like to do is make an iced coffee, listen to a podcast or some chill music, and just practice for a while. Relaxed and non-judgmental. It's kinda like meditation. Improvement is part muscle-memory, but a bigger part mental. That's why you have some top esports players in other games... they come over to RL, and improve extremely fast (e.g. Faze Cizzorz). They know the process of learning. If you're finding out some things don't work, is it because you're so tense and over-focused on mistakes? Do you see a particular weakspot? Maybe you can target it with focused repetition. And then after a while, relax, and let your fingers do the work for you. Over time, and with proper introspection, you'll become a learning machine. I think the book "The Inner Game of Tennis" is a fantastic read. So is researching "motor skills development" in sports. Sometimes it's about getting your mentality right, so that you're in a place to learn quickly.
Kev, Bro.. No way this is for platinum mfers like me... Im not even platinum. My highest is champion although Im actually Diamond since I got champ because of season reset so I kinda cheesed it. Any way I'm okay at direction air roll and can speed my way through all the rings maps or obstacle courses but holding boost and air roll? Dude... Im fucking up big time. EDIT: I can't keep my car down man... at least not while holding boost EDIT2: Just coach me at this point. Im willing to pay up. Cant fucken believe Im okay with direction air roll but cant do it when holding boost.
Haha that's totally normal! I was flopping all over the place at first. Give it a few days, maybe just practice in an easier environment like free play, or turn down gravity a little bit to make it less punishing. Get creative with how you make drills easier and work on progressing to the main thing.
Love it kevpert! I would recommend trying each new gravity in slowmo and incrementing up to game speed before moving on to the next gravity I do the slowmo thing with training packs and it's incredible how much easier each shot is after getting it once at each speed
Thank you! I definitely like that idea too. For some reason, I just don't like it for air dribbles, but love it for stuff like flip resets (especially complex ones like double flip resets, or Maktuf resets). Glad to hear it's paying off for you :D
I was able to complete Drill #2, rings with low gravity on -50 first try. Not trying to flex, just wanted to ask, should I skip this drill since I don't find it challenging at all?
Great observation! Cater it to your level - once something is too easy, you either increase the difficulty (like increasing gravity until you get to default), or skip it and move to something else that's more challenging. I skip rings too. I just focus on the obstacle courses (Ganer method) for my car control portion of the routine.
@@Kevpert How long did it take until you could do levels 1-3 easily with both dars? Also how much have you felt like your car control has improved since you've started mastering this drill? Btw I'm really happy I found you. I've always searched for these types of advanced routines but 99% of car control tutorials are for beginner/intermediate players. The fact that I finally found a drill for something I really struggle with (holding boost and air roll during entire levels in an obstacle course) excites me because I really wonder how much my car control will improve once I start mastering this drill.
@GFC haha you're just like me then. This stuff is challenging and exciting! Took me about a week for levels 1-3. I can't even do 5 so I skip it lol. It seems possible but that's harder than Obstacle Course #1... which is where I've been training lately. That's what Ganer does in his video, and you can clearly see the whole map is possible. I feel like it improved me a lot, but only to a limit. After that I feel like I need to use the ball, because my real blackout moments come from dodge control, flip reset set ups etc. But the car control drills help there.
@@Kevpert I love the term you coined (I think?) "blackout" moments. When I train I'm also always trying to find those uncomfortable situations because of my understanding that fast improvement comes from deliberate practice, which you cleary understand yourself which is why I love this content. I can tell this ganer drill is amazing because I'm basically in a constant blackout moment haha. On the topic of flip/dodge control, here is a great drill I like to do... Basically, just turn on unlimited flips and be CONSTANTLY flipping in freeplay and making sure that your car doesn't make contact with any surface. So you're basically in mid-air flipping like a madman and you will encounter many uncomfortable situations or blackout moments you will have to flip your way out of so you don't crash into the wall/ground etc. Also doing double/triple flip resets is something I do all the time mainly to polish my flip control since it requires so much precision. And here's another drill I swear by, which I think has really upped my game. I keep switching between air roll left and air roll right. For instance, on a rings map, I'd do one air roll left tornado spin, then switch it up with one air roll right tornado spin, and keep repeating this pattern. This really gives your brain a workout and helps you use both air rolls together in a way that lets you pull off some pretty fancy maneuvers.
I started to learn ARL with brute force method by doing full circles, I can complete 3 neon rings map levels. What's next? I can't complete a single level in your map, what's the best method to learn ARL?
Try constant air roll but feathering boost. If that's a bit too hard right now, you'll need to build up your ARL car control by hard focusing on obstacle courses, rings maps, and drills from the old "Advanced Car Control" video. Once you get to a good level after 2-3 weeks of practice (like you can complete an entire rings map), then revisit the hold boost + hold ARL drills.
@@Kevpert im struggling with constant air roll cuz I don't know what direction I need to put the joystick in, I started with the brute force method. I tried many methods but nothing really worked
@Idan Levitski Watch the "Elite Car Control" video I made back in the day. That'll help you familiarize with each of the directions on ARL. Brute forcing is probably too overwhelming, right? Take time to learn each of the joystick directions + air roll.
@@idanlevitski Just watch Ganer's video, and start the drills with no air roll first. Make sure you build your car control first and progress to harder stuff as you master that.
@@Kevpert I went from only using free air roll (for a couple of years) to using all three, then after using all three for about a year I decided to experiment and unbound free air roll and it shockingly made me WAY more fluid. Free air roll feels less efficient and more like a crutch compared to using Left and Right intertwiningly.
I'm back for another comment after a week of doing these daily drills. I already had some sort of idea on how to move the car while using directional air roll because I practiced it before but never had I any true control of my car because I'd only use the joystick to the right and never to the left. And then I found this guide and my god holy sh* bro everything clicked, my eyes really opened up and I see my car in a different way now. It's really hard to explain it but it was in front of my eyes this entire time, how could I not see this before? I can't recommend the Ganer method enough man, it's because of that that I can now use directional air roll while using the full rotation of my joystick instead of only half of it and I literally feel one with my car. When my eyes opened, when it all clicked it was the best fucking feeling ever because not only am I controlling my car in every direction but for some reason I can do the craziest shit in training now. I can do flip resets, wall aerials, half flips, etc... sooooo much has opened up and it made rocket league in a whole different game for me now. It's so hard to explain because I always knew how to air roll but every guide explains it wrong and I know that now. Every guide explicitly says to turn left use right up, to turn right use right down. But that's sooooooooo wrong. I realize that now. Never before did I have this feeling where my joystick is almost connected to my car. I can't explain it man, but like... I see EVERYTHING. In slow-motion too. It almost feels like my joystick is glued to my car. It's really insane and it's all because of you and the Ganer method. To everyone reading this, go practice the ganer method. Idgaf how much youre gonna fail, it'll be worth it. Seriously Kev, thanks.
Which map did you use? I can do rings easily while holding directional air roll the entire time and feathering boost but when I add holding boost the entire time my brain says woah there brother
I use dynamic air roll (air roll left and right on triggers) and this makes it waaaay easier. Check out the air roll left/right tutorial, it goes over the control scheme.
@@Kevpert I have air roll left on left trigger and air roll right on right bumper. I'm pretty comfortable with air roll left I can go through all of rings pretty easily woth 0-2 deaths while continuously holding air roll left and feathering boost. It's the ganer method that as soon as I start makes zero sense I end up hitting the roof or just flying off into space lol
I can’t recommend the Ganer method enough. I started a week ago per Kevpert’s recommendation (on hoops maps instead). The first day it took me literally 300 deaths to get to level 3, a week later I can get to around 10 in 20-30 deaths.

Otherwise, you'll have to boost down a little bit and then boost upwards to have a controlled descent. It's not impossible, I can do it too, it's just not nearly as easy.
@@Kevpert Thanks kev, i’ve found that by troubleshooting and putting in time in the drill on different workshop maps, i’m decreasing the amount of blackout moments i have when doing the drill.
Love the vids!
can you do a video maybe talking about consistency and / or how to analyze replays to improve ?
@Kevpert, awesome video, i wanted to know if you are also capable of programming plugins for bakkesmod?
Thank you! And no, I'm not a programmer. I'd recommend going to the bakkesmod subreddit and asking around.
@@Kevpert i explain the reason i said it on a message i sent on another video, follow up to that would be great if you can colab with a programmer to do anything like that, Half way dead from Rocket Science comes to mind 🤓🦾 Btw bro your dodge control video is soooo good, i dont know if you have a video on the plugins you currently use, but if you dont pls make one
Ayo can u train me 😂
never really managed to get the hang of directional airroll if i'm honest, did manage to do my first speed jump trials 4 run holding it after trying this at a time i'm not too proud of (over 7x standard airroll time), but going from there to rings feels like such a leap, managing only a few levels of leth ice rings before getting hard stuck.. are there any intermediary steps you would recommend to help get the air roll left down a little better to help more beginner directional airroll people who struggle to get the hang of it? (c1, already spent a few dozen hours trying with it in the past)
@@user-fo6bv4ir3v i tried some of those drills before but as you say progress feels like its just not coming, much less so when trying to involve a ball. doezens as about 60 hours i guess rather than a dozen without too much progress it feels like. the fact i did finish speed jump trials suggests there was progress but it doesnt feel like it most of the time.
thank you for sharing, a few drills you mentioned i have not tried as well will try those out see if i have better luck with them
To add on to what Ciro is saying, be patient and relaxed. I have over 10K hours and it's all about having a healthy approach to the game. What I like to do is make an iced coffee, listen to a podcast or some chill music, and just practice for a while. Relaxed and non-judgmental. It's kinda like meditation.
Improvement is part muscle-memory, but a bigger part mental. That's why you have some top esports players in other games... they come over to RL, and improve extremely fast (e.g. Faze Cizzorz). They know the process of learning. If you're finding out some things don't work, is it because you're so tense and over-focused on mistakes? Do you see a particular weakspot? Maybe you can target it with focused repetition. And then after a while, relax, and let your fingers do the work for you. Over time, and with proper introspection, you'll become a learning machine.
I think the book "The Inner Game of Tennis" is a fantastic read. So is researching "motor skills development" in sports. Sometimes it's about getting your mentality right, so that you're in a place to learn quickly.
Does anyone know where the code is for the last training pack?
It's in the Dodge Control video - that's linked in the description. Head on over there and the code + bakkesmod setups are in the description.
@Kevpert Oh ok thanks
Kev, Bro.. No way this is for platinum mfers like me... Im not even platinum. My highest is champion although Im actually Diamond since I got champ because of season reset so I kinda cheesed it. Any way I'm okay at direction air roll and can speed my way through all the rings maps or obstacle courses but holding boost and air roll? Dude... Im fucking up big time.
EDIT: I can't keep my car down man... at least not while holding boost
EDIT2: Just coach me at this point. Im willing to pay up. Cant fucken believe Im okay with direction air roll but cant do it when holding boost.
Haha that's totally normal! I was flopping all over the place at first. Give it a few days, maybe just practice in an easier environment like free play, or turn down gravity a little bit to make it less punishing. Get creative with how you make drills easier and work on progressing to the main thing.
Step 1: get a pc😢
Love it kevpert! I would recommend trying each new gravity in slowmo and incrementing up to game speed before moving on to the next gravity
I do the slowmo thing with training packs and it's incredible how much easier each shot is after getting it once at each speed
Thank you! I definitely like that idea too. For some reason, I just don't like it for air dribbles, but love it for stuff like flip resets (especially complex ones like double flip resets, or Maktuf resets). Glad to hear it's paying off for you :D
I was able to complete Drill #2, rings with low gravity on -50 first try. Not trying to flex, just wanted to ask, should I skip this drill since I don't find it challenging at all?
Great observation! Cater it to your level - once something is too easy, you either increase the difficulty (like increasing gravity until you get to default), or skip it and move to something else that's more challenging.
I skip rings too. I just focus on the obstacle courses (Ganer method) for my car control portion of the routine.
@@Kevpert Sounds good I’m going to put more time into the ganer method then. Definitely the hardest drill I’ve ever done…
@@Kevpert How long did it take until you could do levels 1-3 easily with both dars? Also how much have you felt like your car control has improved since you've started mastering this drill?
Btw I'm really happy I found you. I've always searched for these types of advanced routines but 99% of car control tutorials are for beginner/intermediate players. The fact that I finally found a drill for something I really struggle with (holding boost and air roll during entire levels in an obstacle course) excites me because I really wonder how much my car control will improve once I start mastering this drill.
@GFC haha you're just like me then. This stuff is challenging and exciting!
Took me about a week for levels 1-3. I can't even do 5 so I skip it lol. It seems possible but that's harder than Obstacle Course #1... which is where I've been training lately. That's what Ganer does in his video, and you can clearly see the whole map is possible.
I feel like it improved me a lot, but only to a limit. After that I feel like I need to use the ball, because my real blackout moments come from dodge control, flip reset set ups etc. But the car control drills help there.
@@Kevpert I love the term you coined (I think?) "blackout" moments. When I train I'm also always trying to find those uncomfortable situations because of my understanding that fast improvement comes from deliberate practice, which you cleary understand yourself which is why I love this content. I can tell this ganer drill is amazing because I'm basically in a constant blackout moment haha.
On the topic of flip/dodge control, here is a great drill I like to do... Basically, just turn on unlimited flips and be CONSTANTLY flipping in freeplay and making sure that your car doesn't make contact with any surface. So you're basically in mid-air flipping like a madman and you will encounter many uncomfortable situations or blackout moments you will have to flip your way out of so you don't crash into the wall/ground etc. Also doing double/triple flip resets is something I do all the time mainly to polish my flip control since it requires so much precision.
And here's another drill I swear by, which I think has really upped my game. I keep switching between air roll left and air roll right. For instance, on a rings map, I'd do one air roll left tornado spin, then switch it up with one air roll right tornado spin, and keep repeating this pattern. This really gives your brain a workout and helps you use both air rolls together in a way that lets you pull off some pretty fancy maneuvers.

Cool vid
I started to learn ARL with brute force method by doing full circles, I can complete 3 neon rings map levels. What's next? I can't complete a single level in your map, what's the best method to learn ARL?
Try constant air roll but feathering boost. If that's a bit too hard right now, you'll need to build up your ARL car control by hard focusing on obstacle courses, rings maps, and drills from the old "Advanced Car Control" video.
Once you get to a good level after 2-3 weeks of practice (like you can complete an entire rings map), then revisit the hold boost + hold ARL drills.
@@Kevpert im struggling with constant air roll cuz I don't know what direction I need to put the joystick in, I started with the brute force method. I tried many methods but nothing really worked
@Idan Levitski Watch the "Elite Car Control" video I made back in the day. That'll help you familiarize with each of the directions on ARL. Brute forcing is probably too overwhelming, right? Take time to learn each of the joystick directions + air roll.
@@Kevpert yes, brute force method is too hard for me. I can't really do what you showed in the tutorial, what should I do?
@@idanlevitski Just watch Ganer's video, and start the drills with no air roll first. Make sure you build your car control first and progress to harder stuff as you master that.
Do you use air roll left, right, and free?
Yep, I use all of them. The free/normal air roll is mostly used for recoveries/flicks though.
@@Kevpert I went from only using free air roll (for a couple of years) to using all three, then after using all three for about a year I decided to experiment and unbound free air roll and it shockingly made me WAY more fluid. Free air roll feels less efficient and more like a crutch compared to using Left and Right intertwiningly.
What’s the last map?
Sideswipe2 3D - there's instructions on how to set that up in the Dodge Control tutorial (linked in description).
@@Kevpert thanks
I'm back for another comment after a week of doing these daily drills.
I already had some sort of idea on how to move the car while using directional air roll because I practiced it before but never had I any true control of my car because I'd only use the joystick to the right and never to the left.
And then I found this guide and my god holy sh* bro everything clicked, my eyes really opened up and I see my car in a different way now. It's really hard to explain it but it was in front of my eyes this entire time, how could I not see this before?
I can't recommend the Ganer method enough man, it's because of that that I can now use directional air roll while using the full rotation of my joystick instead of only half of it and I literally feel one with my car. When my eyes opened, when it all clicked it was the best fucking feeling ever because not only am I controlling my car in every direction but for some reason I can do the craziest shit in training now. I can do flip resets, wall aerials, half flips, etc... sooooo much has opened up and it made rocket league in a whole different game for me now.
It's so hard to explain because I always knew how to air roll but every guide explains it wrong and I know that now. Every guide explicitly says to turn left use right up, to turn right use right down. But that's sooooooooo wrong. I realize that now. Never before did I have this feeling where my joystick is almost connected to my car. I can't explain it man, but like... I see EVERYTHING. In slow-motion too. It almost feels like my joystick is glued to my car. It's really insane and it's all because of you and the Ganer method.
To everyone reading this, go practice the ganer method. Idgaf how much youre gonna fail, it'll be worth it.
Seriously Kev, thanks.
Dude! That's awesome. Sounds like you're becoming one with your car... and that's such a fun place to me. Wishing you the best in your improvement!
Which map did you use? I can do rings easily while holding directional air roll the entire time and feathering boost but when I add holding boost the entire time my brain says woah there brother
So.. feathering boost/air roll is too easy but i do not undsrstand how you do it holding both lol
I use dynamic air roll (air roll left and right on triggers) and this makes it waaaay easier. Check out the air roll left/right tutorial, it goes over the control scheme.
@@Kevpert I have air roll left on left trigger and air roll right on right bumper.
I'm pretty comfortable with air roll left I can go through all of rings pretty easily woth 0-2 deaths while continuously holding air roll left and feathering boost.
It's the ganer method that as soon as I start makes zero sense I end up hitting the roof or just flying off into space lol
