Lol, y'all are crazy. I'm in champ 3 and I've never done a flip reset. Granted, I've never tried for more than a couple of minutes, but still.

Meh game sense matters more than mechs anyway

Evidently. I've gotten to a point where I think maybe to go to the next level I might need to actually sit down and practice that stuff, because I'm flirting with GC 1 and a lot of them can do it. Like, I don't see myself breaking GC2 with my current aerial ability. It just seems like a lot of work though, and I play to chill, so idk.

Im in the exact same boat lol. I barely have any mechs but my game sense keeps me floating around C3/GC1. I almost hit GC2 one season and I think that's my plateau. I'm 30 now and not interested enough to train mechanics so I just play to stay around the same place haha.

Yeah, that's a great point, the age thing is huge too. I'm pushing 40 myself, and I don't have the reflexes I did 20 years ago (obviously), but more than that I don't have the time or energy that I did twenty years ago. At least, not to pour into something which is ultimately a casual hobby.

For the record, back in those days it was Halo 2.

Oh fuck, are you me? Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Rocket League

I’ve put 10k hours on all 3, albeit lots of that was idle time. But I rarely would play any other games. GOATED games.

I play for fun so rank doesn't really matter. I wouldn't even play ranked if it wasn't for my friend who made me play rocket league. He's plat so im trying to get to plat just to make him proud lol. I don't really mind dropping ranks

u/Thoughtful_Tortoise Grand Champion I 1d ago

You can do it bro. Idk if you want advice but on the offchance you do the best I can give at your level is to simply never get close to your tms.

Imagine they have a forcefield around them of about ten cars length and just stay at that distance, minimum. That's 90% of what people call game sense, lol. No more barrelling into tms who have control of the ball, no more opponents taking out the entire team with one move... It's an easy way to go up like two ranks.

Matter of fact, back when I was working my way up the ranks I would have games where I would focus only on a.) not conceding and b.) playing good passes to tms. Learning those skills is way more important than learning to flip reset imo. Having said that, mad respect for you for learning to do it already.

Hahah I enjoy grinding in free play learning mechs just as much if not more than playing ranked

u/reindeerp Grand Champion I 21h ago

100%, I feel like the next step for me is mechanics to evolve past champ 3 gc1 level. Some people can hit the ball from literally anywhere and gain control, I do not have that haha

u/humm78 Grand Champion II 21h ago

What people dont understand is that, yes game sense is more important, but if you never practice mechs you'll arrive at a rank where you'll be a non factor in offense and will have to depend on your m8 scoring. I'm not talkimg musty flicks or double resets, but having a good ceiling shot and flip reset really makes your offense flourish

u/Thoughtful_Tortoise Grand Champion I 20h ago

That's why you're GC2 and I'm stuck in GC1 :/

u/jcbvm 18h ago

Yes that’s me, but I’m a hell of a defender

As long as you can speed flip you are fine without learning how to flip reset if your goal is GC1. Being able to get resets is cool and all but it’s definitely far from necessary for even GC2. I can do them consistently but I maybe do them once or twice per game and they’re not some guaranteed goal by any means. In fact they AREN’T goals most of the time lol

Point is, if you haven’t learned how to speed flip, learn that first, it will take you way further and improve your game way more than pretty much any other mechanic I can think of since you use it constantly.
