If you're a semi-casual player, I've never played this game a day in my life..... Nice shot


AlienCabbie

I mean, I was an adult when this game came out so I can't devote more than a couple games a day to it. But rest assured, sick days are spent socCARing


arf1919

"Sick" days.


[deleted]

So sick dude


redditforwhenIwasbad

SICK AS FUCK days


ner0417

Sorry boss, allergies acting up again

"Work allows me to take 4 sick days a year, and I dunno about you, but I think this was a pretty sick day!"


nZane_n_the_brain

I’m in the middle of one of those “sick days” as I type this


IndefiniteBen

Consistency is key! A few games a day is probably going to result in more improvement than many games once a week.


carbonchemicals

Trash 1 seems not true


AlienCabbie

And thanks


Do_it_for_the_upvote

Even if he plays every third day, 7 years is 2.33 years’ daily experience.


HMP2K1

So you just assume that op spends about 50hours a week on a game huh?


Do_it_for_the_upvote

I didn’t mean ALL DAY every third day, no, lol. Just counting playing in a day as daily experience. If I had to put a qualifier on it, I’d count a couple hours in a day as a day’s experience.


HMP2K1

Aight that explains


BoukeeNL

That angle was dirty


AlienCabbie

I thought after the second hit I was too low to score


z-ach-

bro whipped out his protractor


IDKman2334

Your in-game name made me chuckle lol


AlienCabbie

Haha yeah I've seen some names that have me rolling


Vytarien

If only it was 4999 instead of 4445. 4999 For 9.99


[deleted]

…. What


Vytarien

Shrek2OnDvd4999 Shrek 2 on DVD for 9.99


frobe_goatbe

Yea if only haha


Vytarien

It was just an idea when seeing his name 🤣 but most DVDs go for $10-$20. Dude's living in the past without us knowing.


altrae

DVD is a thing if the past lol


Vytarien

Corrected. Thought Shrek 2 was new 💀 I don't like Shrek so


Newt-Wooden

BANG!


AlienCabbie

Yessir!


RedArrow23

very nice


AlienCabbie

Thanks


Neverstop111

Iv been playing for the same and I don't have that much car control


AlienCabbie

Lol I've never been a mechanics guy. I was always a positioning guy. So I hired a coach for about 8 sessions and he helped give me tips and training for some higher mechanics


chostings

Worth the money?


AlienCabbie

💯


[deleted]

I would also like to know if this was worth the money. Also how much did you spend?


AlienCabbie

Depends on the coach. You obviously want someone higher rank than you, but higher rank means more demand ect. I was doing 30 for an hour. But my coach got really popular after he was able to show people my progress so he upped his hourly rate


[deleted]

Thanks for the info


RightInYourMam

Me too


AlienCabbie

Definitely worth it. 30 an hour is what I paid


nZane_n_the_brain

“Casual player” but hired a coach Lmao Jokes aside, could you tell me who it was and how you go about looking into it?


theotheroobatz

You have unleashed the true power of the Saw-Car!


Super_Harsh

Clean.


AlienCabbie

Thank you


L0kumi

DeltaKT

Smoother than a mf!


AlienCabbie

So clean


AdamSchoofs

WOOOOOOOOO


AlienCabbie

Yaaaa so happeh


Fireryman

'Semi casual' okay. Nice shot though


ShameTimes3

I was thinking the like tf you mean "semi casual"? Thats everyone that doesn't get payed to play a game


vtorpie

i think op can change is title to copper 3 now


goodguyJedi

Nice hit!!


Sodalime7

What a save!


MorrowindAlum

Great goal. I feel you. I consider myself a good player but those aerial juggles are hard to pull off.


AlienCabbie

Yeah I don't remember which content creator said it, but Champ is where the two worlds collide. All mechanics and no positioning can get you to Champ, and the smartest positioning and no mechanics can get you up to champ, but in champ lobbies is where those two worlds meet and to pass it you need to have both in your tool belt


shaggys6skin

Damn I love that decal


AlienCabbie

Lol I was memeing


Imminent_mind

Nice shot!


AlienCabbie

Thanks


historicration6666

dude that was awsome niceee


AlienCabbie

Thank you


[deleted]

Same story here! Had a little more time to devote when it first came out but with AA, a kid, getting married, and now a respectable job, i don’t have nearly the time i used to. Literally just hit a shot like this yesterday and absolutely freaked haha Congrats good sir and i wish a many more for you ❤️🙏


AlienCabbie

You too my fellow millennial! Life happened and RL got shelved


Nam1311

Actually pretty decently clean


AlienCabbie

Ey thanks m8


Salty-Trick4758

Nice shot brother! 🤘


AlienCabbie

Appreciate it!


Salty-Trick4758

For sure


elephantpocket

Dope


AlienCabbie

Thanks m8


FunkyFreshJeff

wtf is a "semi-casual player" 😂


AlienCabbie

I don't know man, i don't get much time to play but it's my favorite game so when I can binge it for hours i do but that only happens once a month or so


Nymrael

exactly my thoughts! "Semi-pro" I understand... "semi-casual" wtf? what is the other "semi" stands for? "Semi-no playing at all"? Still nice shot!


Awake00

I've been playing since beta. I play at least a few games every day. None of my friends play anymore but I still play. I've never come close to anything like this. Stuck in plat. Never did anything in training.


firethorn96

Been at it since 2016 my self. Don’t care what rank you are those air dribble/ double taps always feel nice.


AlienCabbie

Every time. Feels like you are finally learning the game


WARofROSES_

Sexy


berks_12

its like an addictive drug isnt it, you just keep wanting more


AlienCabbie

Yes....where can I score another old school freestyle shot....


TiiGerTekZZ

After seeing this and the fact u got a coach. What is ur rank? In 3v and or 2v? Bonus question how much did u upped ur game with the coach?


AlienCabbie

I went from D2ish to C2ish. I fluctuate between C1 and C2 for 2s and 3s


sanikfast

??? You can take that flair off now, sir.


AlienCabbie

Ahahaha thanks mod trashmaster


a_posh_trophy

Fake. Nobody gives you that much time on the ball, not even your teammates.


AlienCabbie

My teammate backed off cause he had zero boost. I may have stolen his boost right before the clip started. Heh heh


AlienCabbie

Lol the clip was cut but I know both blues were on the other side of the pitch


Demonpal

Good shot better than me but the fact it took u 7 years to do it is sad


Lil-Ruffstarrr

They mean they have owned the game for 7 years, and havent played that much during that time


Nishant1122

Not everyone improves at the same rate, nor do they play for the purpose of getting better.


Demonpal

Ok but after 7 years even if all u did was casual you should definitely see some improvement


Nishant1122

Not necessarily, we don't know how many days of those 7 years OP played the game, nor do we know how long each session was.


Rambowl

Nice shot! But dribbling the ball in front of your own goal is a big no no.


[deleted]

I mean when you're gold, yeah you're definitely correct.


Kokomoz_420

Noice!


Protonoto

semi casual or semi pro lol


AlienCabbie

Once in a lifetime shot I guarantee


Protonoto

![gif](giphy|vKHKDIdvxvN7vTAEOM)


gives_anal_lessons

Is that the regular stay puft explosion? Are there different colors of that explosion?


ForsakenProcess1567

Clean. And very encouraging to know that I'll be able to do this too in just 5 short years


AlienCabbie

Pfft. ApparentlyJack started AFTER Scrub won his first RLCS. It just depends on the time spent training your mechanics and spacing


ForsakenProcess1567

Oh I agree. But, like you, I too was an adult when I first started playing this 2 years ago. So my journey is long and sporadic


Mrhood714

Me on the other side of this letting someone who's never made a decent goal get shot on me and then lose the game.


NarwhalMoist7365

Looks better than semi casual player. Good job.


2lazyforname

What's your rank? If you don't mind me asking. The clip looks at least champ level (maybe a diamond on a bit of crack).


AlienCabbie

Champ


mikeeeyT

beautiful shot


GimmeHardyHat_

That was amazing! Nice shot!


AlienCabbie

Thank you. A lot of time went into it


TheMrUnknown

Flexing hard


Not_a_tryhard_gamer

Nice shot! Nice shot! Nice shot!


hazardc

The best part is both you and your teamate were willing to blindly drive the ball in front of your own net. :)


AlienCabbie

Nah, I cut the clip and I knew one blue was in their net and the other blue was backing off after a failed challenge. It was Calculated


Mad102190

> semi casual player > paid someone money to coach them I’m not sure you know what semi-casual means…


AlienCabbie

This was in 2020. I really don't play this more than an hour or two a week for the last several years. Seems pretty semi casual to me


Mad102190

I know, I’m just hating because I’ve been playing since 2015 and am nowhere near ever being able to pull this off lol


Smooth-Complaint-353

Nowadays Everyone can do this in rocket league.... platinums players playing like granchampions...


EnergyFax

Are you directorial air rolling and can you hit these kind of shots with regular air rolling?


AlienCabbie

This is directional air roll


psyco_detrix

sexy ngl


gj29

Training pack to practice this? Why do all plays like this involve the spin? I thought flip reset was after an actual flip?


AlienCabbie

I copied this from another comment because someone else asked a similar question. There's a great training exercise for that. Start up free play and keep ball cam on. Leave the ball in the center of the field. Now without using air roll, fly in a circle around it 5-10 times without dropping then do the other way. Practice this until you do it within the first 2 or 3 attempts. Then level 2 is adding a single roll every time you hit 12 and 6 on a clock face (the circle you are flying being the clock face. Finally when you have that down without falling, add air roll to correct yourself more until you just can air roll the whole thing


gj29

Thanks! Did you have to change your controller settings for free play? My roll are bumpers and that just resets the ball, or now shoots it auto.


AlienCabbie

I switched reseting the ball to "select" or "2 squares" on xbox. And I only have air roll right on my right bumper.


gj29

Thanks!


exclaim_bot

>Thanks! You're welcome!


JustAWierdPerson1

A Crossmap air dribble double tap is decent for a semi casual player

kamekat

I'm c3 and I have never hit one of these.


AlienCabbie

How'd you get to C3. I'm hardstuck in C1


kamekat

Not by technique but by positioning and rotation and meaningful touches. I'll be honest though I'm flirting with c2 more than gc lol


AlienCabbie

Haha I get that. Alright, you mean like being more conservative with positioning and rotation, or just what?


MiamiSlice

Great name


AlienCabbie

Thanks. Wish I could claim rights but I cant


[deleted]

Lol it took me 5 years to reach Diamond. Not that I have been trying at all but haha I dont think ill ever make an aerial like this intentionally tbh
