I humbly vote for double the amount of Emmie videos even if that means you’re just covering one skill at a time. Love this series and want wayyy more of it!
1 month later and nothing. I find it very strange how anybody could possibly think this chick could even be carried to GC, let alone EARN it herself. Not in a million years. She is naturally bad at being coordinated. You can tell. Not only that, but she has no instinct whatsoever, let alone an aggressive one that you actually need to consistently play this game well...
One massive thing with the dribbling on top of the car; starting with no boost used. It's how I learned, and I noticed a huge improvement from it, understanding there's a controllable "no boost dribble speed"
That’s how I learned my dribbles, but also with the help of the guide under the ball. Like the circle. I just kept my car in that sometimes and i can dribble decently. Great way to practice if you ask me.
@@GoBlueHTB You have to learn to do it without boost, you are probably dribbling by picking up the ball from stationary and then boosting to keep up with it (this is what most beginners think they should do), but you want to tap the ball so it is rolling and then match it's speed to pick it up from the side by turning into the ball, however you can also do it from stationary kickoff and put it straight on your car then boost until the ball gets to the back part of your car then stop boosting and control from there (or you could just use the freeplay feature that puts the ball on top of your car). Also as @Joelcoll4034 said you should practice in slo-mo if you can't do it. Hope this helps!
a little tip for the airdribbling, as you do the setup try to stay the same pace as the ball, it makes the setup and the follow after the setup so much more easier and smooth! btw LOVE the series!
@@daddydankmemes6260 bro remember when you first started rocket league? I’m sure you were complete ass 😂😂 only reason she hasn’t progressed is because she did the same thing over and over with no guidance.. now she’s improving
This is my favourite rl channel at the moment. My biggest tip by watching tutorials and other rl videos is do not go where the ball is, go there where ball is going next. I don't have very good mechanics, but in most game modes I'm high diamond or low champ. when you know where you need to be on the field helps your team a lot more than fancy mechanics.
6:14 My experience with my diamond friends is that that flip sometimes corrects it, but you have to be absolutely certain that it doesnt become a habit to flip too much because sometimes you'll flip when you don't need to and miss and your defence is open (still trying to fix that myself)
I can’t even explain how much I love this series. The quality video making, the audio sounds so good, the gameplay, the lessons, enmie,, it’s so exciting to see her get better. It’s better than anime training arcs
Also remember to tell her to minimize harsh motions while dribbling.. braking, boosting, etc.. should only be letting off gas when the ball is too far behind, and slight boost if too far in front
I know this is you coaching Emmie, but Wayton's video on dribbling and the training pack he created for it are still one of the best (if not the single best) resources to learn the mechanics all the way from keeping yourself inside the circle to catching the ball from awkward angles. Let's keep this series going!
Was a Plat 2 when this series started. Now D2 using the lessons you've taught. Hoping to reach champ in the next month or so. Kick offs are one of my weakest points so this has helped a lot with the method to use
Same, I've gone up from plat 2 to D2 (back down to plat 1 now, I threw my placements lol) It'd be great to keep pace with Emmie through this journey, at least until champ
Hey CBell, 2 things that help people learn dribbling quickly are: 1. Try to keep the ball on one side of your roof. With left or right. When it crosses the mid point is bounces which throws off people who are learning. 2. Try dribbling using only the boost button, not the gas. Then try using only gas once you have the boost down. It simplifies the process.
Cbell i feel that you should still spend time on rotating back post, positioning and and not overcommitting it is very key especially not overcommitting which is so easy when you are literally Diamond 1-3, Then shots and bounce dribbles and I’m 100% sure she’ll be easily champ
Thats a really good series! Thanks both of you! CBell you do a great job as coach as well, I appreciate your pedagogy, patience and step by step to introduce complex things. You will achieve it, for sure, keep going friends.
I definitely think she should keep working on dribbles because as a champ 1 I think it is one of the most useful mechanics for my rank. She should probably be able to dribble for like 30 seconds or a minute. Great video!
One thing that helped me make a lot of progress in dribbling is to go into freeplay and spawn the ball on top of your car so it stays there without moving (works if you dont move from the back left/right kickoff spawn). That helped me figure out where the car's center of mass was, which is unintuitively further back than I originally thought.
I mentioned this once before, but I think my favorite custom map other than rings is Hornets Nest. If she learned the basics this map will incredibly boost her car control. It forces everything from landing on walls, power slide control, possibly rear-view camera, and just having control of her car so much. I think that if she learns the basics in free play then practicing this map would definitely force her to play in a way where she has to learn car control to pass the levels. I think Emmie should definitely give it a try!!
A great tip I learned when dribbling is to try to tap brake as least as possible. It's usually the reason why most people can't keep the ball on their car because it keeps rolling in front of it and you need to use boost to keep it up if you brake too often. You just have to release the gas button and it can save you boost and make it better for a flick. Hope it helps !
When I was in Diamond I struggled with dribbling a ton. What immediately helped me within just a couple days was Dribble Challenge #2 workshop map. Struggling to pass just the first 3 or so levels and doing that for a couple hours a day. Within a week it became incredibly easy to control the ball on the field, made me so much better than my then current competitors, and is now one of the strongest parts of my game(I'm GC1 now). Workshop maps ftw!
Ive taught a few of my friends to dribble specifically and the main thing i see is the braking. Unbind the reverse button and itll help her with the basic dribble. Its the fastest way to break the muscle memory to brake
I think you should consider teaching her a kickoff where she simply starts with a front wavedash with constant boosting. I find this kickoff super considtent (I mess up like 1x every 500 kickoff), and it's good from every kickoff position. I know it's not as fast as speedflipping, but it was enough for me to hit GC, as consistency is a key factor. 😊
I hit gc after 6 years and here what I know 1- Touching the ball in the air or on the ground strongly or lightly with aiming 2- Control the ball for at least 15 seconds 3-Flicks with control to increase your speed while keeping the ball 5- 50/50 you need to make it 70/30 try to understand it and make it the last solution in defense and attack (The game sense ) will come with the extent of your confidence in your skill, but of course you can take some movement from someone who is better than you If you can imitate him And finally the game is difficult and takes time and effort and needs continuity and calm nerves P.S. d3 in 1s =gc in 2s
as a tip on how I learned to dribble recently: I went to free play and put the game speed with bukkes-mod to 0.5 and with the command to put the ball on the car, I just tried it. I looked at the circle and drove everywhere on the field. When I thought that it became easier, I put the game speed to 0.6 and tried it again till I was at 1.0. That's the way that worked best for me. I'm now able to use it in games and I found out that at 1.0 if u wanna go faster with the ball it's best when your back-wheels are between the two circles because the ball is then going nowhere :D oh and try to do it without boost first, trust me... (sorry for my bad english)
Hey Cbell, I was quite intrigued with this series from the first video. I spent a lot of time on Rocket League coaching players even going as far back as late 2015. Watching YT tutorial/advice videos has always left me feeling like the teaching is pretty lackluster and omits details or just doesn't understand what is going on. I have not felt that way on this series with Emmie at all. The advice has been pretty high quality quite consistent throughout. Last video you mentioned that you weren't really sure what Emmie was doing wrong, while also simultaneously being impressed with her positioning. I watched those videos but I also stopped by her stream today so I watched her queue mainly ranked 2s. As you said, there's always a million things you can say to give info. There are a few that stand out to me. 1. While her positioning when away from the ball is pretty good, she doesn't like to leave the ball, and loves to stay near it way too much. If she goes to hit the ball, the opponent gets control, her instinct is to stay close to the ball and wait to interject, often in ways that the teammate isn't ready for. Really, it's an issue of rotation. It's a large amount of ball-side rotation. I normally don't like to focus on "rotate backpost" as a tip because it's something that isn't really followed. However, Emmie does it too much and considering her reads and consistency, is a huge detriment to her play. A GC3 gets away with it because they can read and consistently deal with situations where they rotate ball-side, so "rotate backpost" won't mean anything. 2. This was sorta seen in a couple of the videos, but she goes to challenge a lot. You brought up the fake challenge as a skill which I'm very happy you did. However, in half to most of the situations a fake challenge isn't that applicable. She just tends to read the play late and thus goes late. The opponents beat her to the ball, and the ball goes past her leaving the teammate to deal with the situation. She's pretty much throwing away opportunities she can go. A large part of it is hesitating, which isn't unique to her by a longshot and is a common occurrence from lower ranked players. Another large part is not realizing when she there's opportunities which comes with reading the play better. Of course, reading can't be taught since that's the brain being good at pattern recognition. 3. She struggles with ball control quite a bit. Constantly getting touches that she isn't ready to deal with and easily flustered in situations of slight awkwardness. Some advice I would currently give her to assist with those issues: 1. Teach her the concept of rotating through mid away from the ball, surpassing about 1/3rd or 1/2 of the field away (horizontally) in order to reposition to a better spot later. This also sends a clear signal for her teammate to go and she's not tripping over them as much. She doesn't need to do it every time, but much more often. Players are always the most comfortable with the play in front of them rather than to the side or behind them, so by sending her off the play through mid allows her to grab pads (another issue but not hugely important right now) and let the play come to her instead of fighting for the ball. It also will allow her to play "faster" for your next video, because you can't play fast being always next to the ball. 2. You touched on this a bit in the video (you may have done more off-camera), but focusing on the cars rather than the ball at most times except immediately after the ball is hit to read the ball itself. A lot of it comes from her being surprised by what the other cars are capable of. I think this should be a primary focus as she's reaching the point where her reads are behind her peers while she excels at other things like readiness as second. The fake challenge was good to bring up, but there are other options like rotating off and letting the teammate get, waiting for the ball to be hit by them to go after, and even ignoring the ball and going for a demo. 3. When you think of car/ball control being a problem, you typically see people going after things like air dribbles, ground dribbles with ball on the roof, flicks, aerials, etc etc. However, there are baseline mechanics that all the pros use that are near invisible that are the complete core of Rocket League, and ones I think she would benefit from being taught more explicitly on. No, I'm not talking about half-flip (that was already covered, I think) or wavedash. Pure barebones techniques: "Grounding" the ball via catching it Grounding the ball via hitting the middle or underside when the ball has falling momentum "Lobbing"/"chipping" the ball (rolling on the ground) "Popping" the ball up with a double jump when directly underneath "Half volley" (power off a bounce) Dodge power hits (primarily with front bumper) Powerslide turns (really opens up the game with proper powersliding) Dodge into supersonic (boost to X speed, then frontflip to supersonic). Some point of contention I have with advice you gave is actually the kickoff. It's good you're teaching her to flip on kickoff, but I think it's wrong to focus on the high level movement of accurately diagonally flipping to the ball. Using the car steering and instead just using a front-flip is far more consistent for lower ranked players. Diagonal flipping isn't that much better on kickoff unless you implement some sort of flip cancel (which you're instinctively doing due to speedflip). Anyway, hopefully info from this comment helps you, the series, and/or Emmie (preferably all 3!). If you'd like more of my perspective, my user on Discord is the same as here. I'll continue to watch the series as it is quite enjoyable and high quality, and you've done a very good job. The fact that someone told Emmie she was unteachable pisses me off. That's just a sign of being bad at teaching or understanding of the game to properly teach it. Yeah, it may be a bit more of a process to teach Emmie, but far from unteachable. She literally has the aptitude to improve and evidently is doing so. She listens to advice. The only ones that are unteachable are those who refuse to listen to advice. Coached some individuals who expected me to magically fix them but they put zero effort forward themselves, or ignored advice.
I'm in champ and my wall shots are ok, but I just want to give a special thanks to you sharing this wall shots training pack. I'm working it in to my warm up routine, it's really useful for hitting timing, and practicing backboard reads
I love watching these videos, I was stuck in diamond for the longest time after the last video cbell posted moved up to champ for a small period of time but it’s nice to see how I am progressing as well and how good of a coach cbell is !
What’s helping me learn to dribble is you just CANNOT use the breaks. Obvi in gane this is diff but while training try with 0 brakes and 0 boost, if your going too fast let off gas, going to slow give it gas, really helped me learn to keep the ball up
3:22 any coach who says that isn't a coach in the first place imo, literally anyone can get good in rocket league if they sink enough hours in to it. When I first heard that in the previous episodes I just thought it was to make it more extreme on how much she's struggling, I didn't expect that those were actually the words of a coach wth
Something tht helped my car control a ton at this rank was learning how to do powershots with the corners of the car. Learning to use air roll in shooting was precise and took time, but took the control I had over what my car did to the next level
I originally hit champ with my only mechanic being the half flip and then i learned to wave dash. im currently trying to catch up learning mechanics but i really wish i'd been learning them along the way. i almost hit c3 last season which is really pushing me to grind for gc now but i havent the slightest idea on what i should be learning so watching this series is pretty helpful. It really is true that you don't need mechanics to get through the lower ranks but it definitely helps massively with ranking up faster
one big tip for someone that recently learned to dribble, is to not press break or at least not half the way and not even nearly as often ash she does now. thats the main reason hers is so jittery and awkward
Okay honestly with the fake challenge thing, I think fake jumps are just as good if not better, anytime I see a ball floating up I want to go for but I’ll it’s risky. Just tap the jump button and you can watch the panic happen 🤣 it’s magical
A fun way to practise dribbles is custom maps. I'd recommend 'Noob Dribble' to start with as it allows you to mess up a little. If that goes well you can try 'The Path' which is more difficult as it doesn't allow u to drop the ball off your head
One of the most important skills for dribbling is speed regulation. Which isn't just boost management. A big part is trigger discipline. not holding your trigger all the way down and using micro adjustments to regulate speed on a smaller scale.
Honestly, I didn’t have very good control below champ. What helped me most was definitely learning awkward backwards saves and basically the three most important types of defense. It would many time’s, leave open nets or 1v2’s due to lower ranks committing a lot and “ballchasing”.
I went from Bronze to GC in 420 days :D I believe in Emily! Just gotta constantly improve by always noticing and fixing your habits until you execute like an SSL.
A tip that really helped me dribble in diamond 1 was that U don't always have to accelerate you can just boost and that helped make the ball stay more steady on my car
To be honest I only just hit diamond 1 and probably won’t have it for long, but it’s nice to see someone on my rank with slightly worse mechanics than me at the start and slowly get much better than me ❤
I absolutely adore the way you explain mechanics and the game in general its really helped me out, like a lot. Right now I don't have wifi, haven't had it in 9 months, ive just been playing free-play and the exhibition, but anyway I appreciate your videos and She's gonna get too Grand Champ in no time. 😊
Dude, your muscle memory thing is SOO on point. Last night my 8 yo was doing jumping Jack's with our neighbor BUT she didn't spread her legs when her arms went up. I tried to replicate it so the neighbor could see and couldn't because my muscle memory just MAKES me do jumping Jack's right. It was kinda annoying.
a tip i can add to the ground dribbling is try not to use your brake when your ahead of the ball. just take your finger off the accelerator for a sec and you should just slow down to be perfectly under the ball and then you have control of it. and just keep feather the accelerator if need be
I also watch the circle, but when ground driblling really clicked for me was when i started looking at those little sparks that come out when the the ball is on your car
It’s the way you break down the technique that’s I’m sure helps, watching this helped me I started playing rocket league last year at 30 yrs old and I’m plat, diamond coming soon. 💯
i love going to emmie's stream and just talking and watching her play even though she is at a lower skill level than me its fun, love the series keep it up!
I think something which basically got me to champ was learning to rotate back post. Always going through (what I was taught) the gates, (between the wall and the mini boost pad by the post)
I found out how to speed flip at silver 3, took about 5 minutes before I could do it consistantly, and I am a d3 now. Honestly I love seeing emmie trying these new mechs, its really funny, but in a good way not a bad way. I enjoy watching her try new things. Edit: I got further into the video and I realised he didn't tell Emmie about the cancel of the speed flip, you are supposed to flip cancel... unless it doesn't make a difference
Im actually using this series to help me! as a gold player and my duo partner being a diamond it is very hard for me to learn and play well, so this series is helping me everyday practice! Thanks CBell
I was stuck in gold three and here are things that got me in diamond one. 1. Dont try to be fancy nobody cares except you 2. learn basic shooting and car control believe me u haven't mastered it yet if stuck below daimond or even if in diamond 3. Positioning is WAY more important than you might think 4. Wall play its just important 5. Dribbling and flicking is perfect since most people under diamond dont practice saves 6. Practice saves 7. Dont blame tm8s even if they did it its always your fault remember that toxicity makes you frustrated so stay positive 8. Last but not least aerials but not too much just learn fast aerial aerial control and some air roll also learn how the way you touch the ball affects where the ball goes
YAY! I was just looking to see if there was an update in this series yesterday. It's taught me so much and with the season reset, I'm stuck in plat right now, was D3/C1 before reset.
One of the great ways I learned to speed up my gameplay, though it kinda sucked initially, was playing six mans with some high ranked friends (GCs). although I HATED not touching the ball, learning to speed around the field was a great skill. Maybe try tossing her into 6 mans would help with it.
I love how cbell trains Emile I’m around her level but just better at Ariel’s this series is s helping me to rank up and I’m pretty sure she is or will get above me quickly.
I get so excited when you upload a new Emile video. Im also a diamond 1 and you help me out as well. You put so much effort into your videos. Keep up the great work!
banger video as per usual. Ive recently come back to rocket league and me randomly getting your videos in my feed (cus im subscribed) made me want to get back! Thank you! Two years away but im already back in plat thanks to your tips in these videos!
It’s been three months, are we going to see more videos like this there so good. I’ve been using the practice drills, and I’ve gone from Platt to Diamond 2. And I’m 40 years old ha ha
Use to be champ and stopped playing the game in order to gring in apex legends come back at high d1 and low d2 but im not going to lie the rank im at is embarrassing on my part i need to grind quickly before its too late Emmie has made me realised that im not quite washed yet and inspired me to grow with her mark my words march 15th ill be ssl
I think on the kickoffs if she wants to go even faster she could do more of a side flip and boost through it. It would be a bit like a speed flip except a little bit slower
I was stuck in high plat low diamond but after playing other modes like dropshot it made me a lot better at air control of my car and faster ariels in general. So maybe try other game modes to keep that "fun" factor and to help with mechanics you don't need in regular gameplay

Hey CBell, 2 things that help people learn dribbling quickly are:
1. Try to keep the ball on one side of your roof. With left or right. When it crosses the mid point is bounces which throws off people who are learning.
2. Try dribbling using only the boost button, not the gas. Then try using only gas once you have the boost down. It simplifies the process.

Hope it helps !

When I was in Diamond I struggled with dribbling a ton. What immediately helped me within just a couple days was Dribble Challenge #2 workshop map. Struggling to pass just the first 3 or so levels and doing that for a couple hours a day. Within a week it became incredibly easy to control the ball on the field, made me so much better than my then current competitors, and is now one of the strongest parts of my game(I'm GC1 now). Workshop maps ftw!
everytime i see a new video in this series drop i get so excited. I havent been this excited for a series in a long long time. Keep it up bro
Ive taught a few of my friends to dribble specifically and the main thing i see is the braking. Unbind the reverse button and itll help her with the basic dribble. Its the fastest way to break the muscle memory to brake
i would just like to personally thank you not only for helping emmy but i personally as a hard stuck diamond has learned so much so thank you
I think you should consider teaching her a kickoff where she simply starts with a front wavedash with constant boosting. I find this kickoff super considtent (I mess up like 1x every 500 kickoff), and it's good from every kickoff position. I know it's not as fast as speedflipping, but it was enough for me to hit GC, as consistency is a key factor. 😊
I hit gc after 6 years and here what I know
1- Touching the ball in the air or on the ground strongly or lightly with aiming
2- Control the ball for at least 15 seconds
3-Flicks with control to increase your speed while keeping the ball
5- 50/50 you need to make it 70/30 try to understand it and make it the last solution in defense and attack
(The game sense ) will come with the extent of your confidence in your skill, but of course you can take some movement from someone who is better than you If you can imitate him
And finally the game is difficult and takes time and effort and needs continuity and calm nerves
P.S. d3 in 1s =gc in 2s
as a tip on how I learned to dribble recently: I went to free play and put the game speed with bukkes-mod to 0.5 and with the command to put the ball on the car, I just tried it. I looked at the circle and drove everywhere on the field. When I thought that it became easier, I put the game speed to 0.6 and tried it again till I was at 1.0. That's the way that worked best for me. I'm now able to use it in games and I found out that at 1.0 if u wanna go faster with the ball it's best when your back-wheels are between the two circles because the ball is then going nowhere :D oh and try to do it without boost first, trust me... (sorry for my bad english)
Hey Cbell, I was quite intrigued with this series from the first video. I spent a lot of time on Rocket League coaching players even going as far back as late 2015. Watching YT tutorial/advice videos has always left me feeling like the teaching is pretty lackluster and omits details or just doesn't understand what is going on. I have not felt that way on this series with Emmie at all. The advice has been pretty high quality quite consistent throughout.
Last video you mentioned that you weren't really sure what Emmie was doing wrong, while also simultaneously being impressed with her positioning. I watched those videos but I also stopped by her stream today so I watched her queue mainly ranked 2s. As you said, there's always a million things you can say to give info. There are a few that stand out to me.
1. While her positioning when away from the ball is pretty good, she doesn't like to leave the ball, and loves to stay near it way too much. If she goes to hit the ball, the opponent gets control, her instinct is to stay close to the ball and wait to interject, often in ways that the teammate isn't ready for. Really, it's an issue of rotation. It's a large amount of ball-side rotation. I normally don't like to focus on "rotate backpost" as a tip because it's something that isn't really followed. However, Emmie does it too much and considering her reads and consistency, is a huge detriment to her play. A GC3 gets away with it because they can read and consistently deal with situations where they rotate ball-side, so "rotate backpost" won't mean anything.
2. This was sorta seen in a couple of the videos, but she goes to challenge a lot. You brought up the fake challenge as a skill which I'm very happy you did. However, in half to most of the situations a fake challenge isn't that applicable. She just tends to read the play late and thus goes late. The opponents beat her to the ball, and the ball goes past her leaving the teammate to deal with the situation. She's pretty much throwing away opportunities she can go. A large part of it is hesitating, which isn't unique to her by a longshot and is a common occurrence from lower ranked players. Another large part is not realizing when she there's opportunities which comes with reading the play better. Of course, reading can't be taught since that's the brain being good at pattern recognition.
3. She struggles with ball control quite a bit. Constantly getting touches that she isn't ready to deal with and easily flustered in situations of slight awkwardness.
Some advice I would currently give her to assist with those issues:
1. Teach her the concept of rotating through mid away from the ball, surpassing about 1/3rd or 1/2 of the field away (horizontally) in order to reposition to a better spot later. This also sends a clear signal for her teammate to go and she's not tripping over them as much. She doesn't need to do it every time, but much more often. Players are always the most comfortable with the play in front of them rather than to the side or behind them, so by sending her off the play through mid allows her to grab pads (another issue but not hugely important right now) and let the play come to her instead of fighting for the ball. It also will allow her to play "faster" for your next video, because you can't play fast being always next to the ball.
2. You touched on this a bit in the video (you may have done more off-camera), but focusing on the cars rather than the ball at most times except immediately after the ball is hit to read the ball itself. A lot of it comes from her being surprised by what the other cars are capable of. I think this should be a primary focus as she's reaching the point where her reads are behind her peers while she excels at other things like readiness as second. The fake challenge was good to bring up, but there are other options like rotating off and letting the teammate get, waiting for the ball to be hit by them to go after, and even ignoring the ball and going for a demo.
3. When you think of car/ball control being a problem, you typically see people going after things like air dribbles, ground dribbles with ball on the roof, flicks, aerials, etc etc. However, there are baseline mechanics that all the pros use that are near invisible that are the complete core of Rocket League, and ones I think she would benefit from being taught more explicitly on. No, I'm not talking about half-flip (that was already covered, I think) or wavedash. Pure barebones techniques:
"Grounding" the ball via catching it
Grounding the ball via hitting the middle or underside when the ball has falling momentum
"Lobbing"/"chipping" the ball (rolling on the ground)
"Popping" the ball up with a double jump when directly underneath
"Half volley" (power off a bounce)
Dodge power hits (primarily with front bumper)
Powerslide turns (really opens up the game with proper powersliding)
Dodge into supersonic (boost to X speed, then frontflip to supersonic).
Some point of contention I have with advice you gave is actually the kickoff. It's good you're teaching her to flip on kickoff, but I think it's wrong to focus on the high level movement of accurately diagonally flipping to the ball. Using the car steering and instead just using a front-flip is far more consistent for lower ranked players. Diagonal flipping isn't that much better on kickoff unless you implement some sort of flip cancel (which you're instinctively doing due to speedflip).
Anyway, hopefully info from this comment helps you, the series, and/or Emmie (preferably all 3!). If you'd like more of my perspective, my user on Discord is the same as here. I'll continue to watch the series as it is quite enjoyable and high quality, and you've done a very good job. The fact that someone told Emmie she was unteachable pisses me off. That's just a sign of being bad at teaching or understanding of the game to properly teach it. Yeah, it may be a bit more of a process to teach Emmie, but far from unteachable. She literally has the aptitude to improve and evidently is doing so. She listens to advice. The only ones that are unteachable are those who refuse to listen to advice. Coached some individuals who expected me to magically fix them but they put zero effort forward themselves, or ignored advice.
I'm in champ and my wall shots are ok, but I just want to give a special thanks to you sharing this wall shots training pack. I'm working it in to my warm up routine, it's really useful for hitting timing, and practicing backboard reads
I love watching these videos, I was stuck in diamond for the longest time after the last video cbell posted moved up to champ for a small period of time but it’s nice to see how I am progressing as well and how good of a coach cbell is !
What’s helping me learn to dribble is you just CANNOT use the breaks. Obvi in gane this is diff but while training try with 0 brakes and 0 boost, if your going too fast let off gas, going to slow give it gas, really helped me learn to keep the ball up
Coaching is definitely difficult but that feeling of pride when your student succeeds is immeasurable.
3:22 any coach who says that isn't a coach in the first place imo, literally anyone can get good in rocket league if they sink enough hours in to it. When I first heard that in the previous episodes I just thought it was to make it more extreme on how much she's struggling, I didn't expect that those were actually the words of a coach wth
The Emster! Back at it again. “It’s connecting in the brain” “ I feel fast!” 🚗 💨 🧠
Something tht helped my car control a ton at this rank was learning how to do powershots with the corners of the car. Learning to use air roll in shooting was precise and took time, but took the control I had over what my car did to the next level
I originally hit champ with my only mechanic being the half flip and then i learned to wave dash. im currently trying to catch up learning mechanics but i really wish i'd been learning them along the way. i almost hit c3 last season which is really pushing me to grind for gc now but i havent the slightest idea on what i should be learning so watching this series is pretty helpful. It really is true that you don't need mechanics to get through the lower ranks but it definitely helps massively with ranking up faster
one big tip for someone that recently learned to dribble, is to not press break or at least not half the way and not even nearly as often ash she does now. thats the main reason hers is so jittery and awkward
Okay honestly with the fake challenge thing, I think fake jumps are just as good if not better, anytime I see a ball floating up I want to go for but I’ll it’s risky. Just tap the jump button and you can watch the panic happen 🤣 it’s magical
I think you should teach her shooting placement, for a GC myself, practicing shot placement helps a lot and could make a huge change.
She has a ways to go before getting to that
A fun way to practise dribbles is custom maps. I'd recommend 'Noob Dribble' to start with as it allows you to mess up a little. If that goes well you can try 'The Path' which is more difficult as it doesn't allow u to drop the ball off your head
Bro no way the video is already over! Ah that wasn’t even 15 minutes. We want more!! Awesome vid! Love seeing Emmies progression!
I really love this series. Its probably the best rocket league content and its super informative and fun to watch a plat git gud.
One of the most important skills for dribbling is speed regulation. Which isn't just boost management. A big part is trigger discipline. not holding your trigger all the way down and using micro adjustments to regulate speed on a smaller scale.
I have been stuck in silver 3 for the longest time and these vids are really helping me out positioning and mechanic wise. Thanks!
Honestly, I didn’t have very good control below champ. What helped me most was definitely learning awkward backwards saves and basically the three most important types of defense. It would many time’s, leave open nets or 1v2’s due to lower ranks committing a lot and “ballchasing”.
I went from Bronze to GC in 420 days :D
I believe in Emily! Just gotta constantly improve by always noticing and fixing your habits until you execute like an SSL.
A tip that really helped me dribble in diamond 1 was that U don't always have to accelerate you can just boost and that helped make the ball stay more steady on my car
To be honest I only just hit diamond 1 and probably won’t have it for long, but it’s nice to see someone on my rank with slightly worse mechanics than me at the start and slowly get much better than me ❤
I absolutely adore the way you explain mechanics and the game in general its really helped me out, like a lot. Right now I don't have wifi, haven't had it in 9 months, ive just been playing free-play and the exhibition, but anyway I appreciate your videos and She's gonna get too Grand Champ in no time. 😊
Dude, your muscle memory thing is SOO on point. Last night my 8 yo was doing jumping Jack's with our neighbor BUT she didn't spread her legs when her arms went up. I tried to replicate it so the neighbor could see and couldn't because my muscle memory just MAKES me do jumping Jack's right. It was kinda annoying.
a tip i can add to the ground dribbling is try not to use your brake when your ahead of the ball. just take your finger off the accelerator for a sec and you should just slow down to be perfectly under the ball and then you have control of it. and just keep feather the accelerator if need be
12:43 - the way she says *"i hope not"* kinda adorable xD
I’ve been playing for about a month or two and im alrdy diamond 2 and this series is lowkey helping
Even if I had a coach this good I would still hit the crossbar and post around 60% of the time as I do now
Gotta love being hard stuck diamond
I also watch the circle, but when ground driblling really clicked for me was when i started looking at those little sparks that come out when the the ball is on your car
It’s the way you break down the technique that’s I’m sure helps, watching this helped me I started playing rocket league last year at 30 yrs old and I’m plat, diamond coming soon. 💯
10:37
Cbell,” I think you’re playing so much better then you used to”
*Proceeds* to bump teamate and fall off the wall
i love going to emmie's stream and just talking and watching her play even though she is at a lower skill level than me its fun, love the series keep it up!
That was a slick practice practice montage, Cbell. Seriously, very enjoyable moment to watch in the video.
More of these please! just watched them all, Emi has a fantastic mentality to keep going
I think something which basically got me to champ was learning to rotate back post. Always going through (what I was taught) the gates, (between the wall and the mini boost pad by the post)
I found out how to speed flip at silver 3, took about 5 minutes before I could do it consistantly, and I am a d3 now. Honestly I love seeing emmie trying these new mechs, its really funny, but in a good way not a bad way. I enjoy watching her try new things.
Edit: I got further into the video and I realised he didn't tell Emmie about the cancel of the speed flip, you are supposed to flip cancel... unless it doesn't make a difference
Im actually using this series to help me! as a gold player and my duo partner being a diamond it is very hard for me to learn and play well, so this series is helping me everyday practice! Thanks CBell
I LOVE these series! I am learning more then ever! Thank you so much.
I was stuck in gold three and here are things that got me in diamond one.
1. Dont try to be fancy nobody cares except you
2. learn basic shooting and car control believe me u haven't mastered it yet if stuck below daimond or even if in diamond
3. Positioning is WAY more important than you might think
4. Wall play its just important
5. Dribbling and flicking is perfect since most people under diamond dont practice saves
6. Practice saves
7. Dont blame tm8s even if they did it its always your fault remember that toxicity makes you frustrated so stay positive
8. Last but not least aerials but not too much just learn fast aerial aerial control and some air roll also learn how the way you touch the ball affects where the ball goes
This is the best currently running series for rocket league on youtube right now
CBell: DO NOT CHALLENGE!!!
Emmie: My goals are beyond your understanding.
This is by far the best ad for Raid I've ever seen, props to you for that lol
I love this series! Feels so relatable.
YAY! I was just looking to see if there was an update in this series yesterday. It's taught me so much and with the season reset, I'm stuck in plat right now, was D3/C1 before reset.
Gosh i love this series please never end.
One of the great ways I learned to speed up my gameplay, though it kinda sucked initially, was playing six mans with some high ranked friends (GCs). although I HATED not touching the ball, learning to speed around the field was a great skill. Maybe try tossing her into 6 mans would help with it.
I love how cbell trains Emile I’m around her level but just better at Ariel’s this series is s helping me to rank up and I’m pretty sure she is or will get above me quickly.
Absolutely love this series. Emmie is me and my skill level and following thease vids are so helpful to me. Would love you as a coach!!!
I get so excited when you upload a new Emile video. Im also a diamond 1 and you help me out as well. You put so much effort into your videos. Keep up the great work!
banger video as per usual. Ive recently come back to rocket league and me randomly getting your videos in my feed (cus im subscribed) made me want to get back! Thank you! Two years away but im already back in plat thanks to your tips in these videos!
It’s been three months, are we going to see more videos like this there so good. I’ve been using the practice drills, and I’ve gone from Platt to Diamond 2. And I’m 40 years old ha ha
Love this series😊 so many plats and diamonds just need those small fixes to rank up to champ
Watching these makes me cry everytime
This series is amazing, do more of these and this type of stuff!
Use to be champ and stopped playing the game in order to gring in apex legends come back at high d1 and low d2 but im not going to lie the rank im at is embarrassing on my part i need to grind quickly before its too late Emmie has made me realised that im not quite washed yet and inspired me to grow with her mark my words march 15th ill be ssl
I think on the kickoffs if she wants to go even faster she could do more of a side flip and boost through it. It would be a bit like a speed flip except a little bit slower
A trick for Emmie to get better at dribbling is using the side walls as supports, she can use the wall to keep the ball from falling
I switched from kbm to controller recently and these help me getting back to the level i was at
Cbell I need the next one fr
I was stuck in high plat low diamond but after playing other modes like dropshot it made me a lot better at air control of my car and faster ariels in general. So maybe try other game modes to keep that "fun" factor and to help with mechanics you don't need in regular gameplay
lol, every time she goes "omgomgomgomgomg" xD always a chuckle
these videos are insane i can see the effort that you had put it in it love these keep it up!
your reverse psychology worked, i subscribed, liking this series, you're presenting it well. Great mentality too, great coach trait.
This series is so good. Thank you
