If you have played Rocket League for a long time like I have, there's a good chance you've at least tried each of these mechanics once. So you probably have an opinion on each of them. Today, I share my own and you get to see if yours line up with mine. If you want to see more tier list videos like this, feel free to let me know and share a topic that you would like me to make it on!

Saves being in E tier is a crime against humanity. Saving 3 hard shots in row spidermanning in the goal feels sooo good.

Makes me wonder if Wayton just sucks at saves. When I make a couple back-to-back saves that I had no business making, it feels better than an air dribble or a solid passing play.

im gold, i love the mechanic "get past your opponent and slowly push the ball forward without boost because you can't conserve it and have the opponent easily get back and save it only for you to whif and him score." It really makes for some interesting gameplay Edit: I swear I just saw wayton heart my comment...my life is cursed

I agree with everything except saves, a good save is extremely satisfying and a lot of players undervalue them too much
2:57 do it it sounds like a fun tier list!
I disagree with one placement: saves. Though these are often forgotten and almost never saved as a replay, they quite literally change the outcome of games constantly. Being solid at defence is extremely beneficial competitively, and can even play a part in the downfall of the opposing team. Otherwise, I agree 100% with the rest of these!

Great vid! Although I know it might seem redundant being that you included wave dashes, I think another mechanic to talk about would be recovering and different recoveries in general. Being able to recover your car in awkward positions and get right back into a save/shot/pass is pretty satisfying and with new recovery mechanics being discovered like corner dashes and landing wave dashes there’s still a high skill cap for being able to always recover and keep momentum in RL.
I personally think that demos are great when used in cool and interesting ways like airdribble demos and flicking it and then demoing before the save and such. The only time demos are bad is when the player doesn’t even think about going for the ball once, and just spawn demos. That kind of player is what gave demoing a bad name.
Recoveries. Keeps up your speed, and is a great way to practice car control, laying groundwork for other mechanics.
Wayton: *ranks speedflips at b because of how useful they are in game* also Wayton: *puts saves at e*
My favorite mechanic is when the ball is in the corner and me and the opponent both just awkwardly nudge it around slowly - both without boost - until it gently rolls past one person who tries to back up and ends up rolling it 5mph to their own goal. A classic
Open nets are S tier when I hit them I'm surprised and at awe that I didnt miss.
All of those rating were pefect wayton. Thanks for the content:)
Ive stumbled on a new certain kickoff. If the cars are next to eachother in the middle lane. 1 has to start and the other needs to bump him from behind. If the timing is right you will end up way faster than your opponement.

wayton, u deserve to be up there in subs with musty. some people make tier lists boring; just talking about them, but you take a lot of time with the editing and i love that.
Right there with you on saves. The only saves I've kept as replays lately are back to backs or something like that. But even then I usually think "if the first one was better, the second one wouldn't have been needed"
Im gettin really good at those wayton flicks
The deop down catch is what i called the phantom shot or phantum touch
Speed flip: I use this all the time and it is useful, C tier. Saves: I don't save clips of them hardly ever, E tier. Seems legit
Great vid! honestly I agree with most of these!
I agree on everything exept for where you put saves. Saves deserve better.
we need to see that flick tier list btw love your content and keep up the good work.
Another banger bro :) lov ur vids
That montage at 9 minutes was actually really good
great list, great video
And yes I am the one making this play. And yes I am flexing on you. And yes I am putting it in S tier. And yes I am on to the next mechanic. -Waytoney 2021
Wayton I was put in the video! What i'm meaning is when you referenced yourself from 2017 when you hit a redirect, I was on your team, and obviously you know that xD
You said you could make a whole tier list just for flicks, so will you? Awesome vid idea imo
For the demo one, I have opponents who try to demo me and it messes up their rotations meaning goals for my team. I had an enemy in 1s today who did this dribble demo strategy and everytime he tried it i scored a goal. When enemies do succeed in a demo, demos are so annoying and you go to a random side on your half (rng)
Yo, you by far have the best tips. I watched your video of fast jumping and airel, and I went from Plat one to Daimond 1 div 2 after watching the video on Friday.

Air dribbles are probably competitively S tier as well. Very versatile and gets you strong ball control. If the opponent wants to stop you before the net they have to commit hard, and if they dont you have lots of options to keep your scoring opportunities varied
When you think of wavedashes, do you think of the regular one or the one where you get the flip reset on it?
I like speed flips the most. ...mainly because I'm in sliver 2 and they're the only mechanic I know how to do.
I'm C2 in 2s. Decided to try learning flip resets. Fairly inconsistent with it in training. But I feel it's definitely helping with my airiel control and set-ups more, adds something else to try in game, and looks threatening.
Didn’t expect a bad tier list from Wayton
Wavedashes in C? A mechanic everyone at or above GC or even Champ is constantly using throughout every single game to recover, preserve momentum and sometimes outplay? K then

saves deserve better rating because arial save to an own post save to a wall jump save is the most satisfying thing
Wayton: Double taps are the most satisfying thing to watch. Me: Do u know how many times I've told that to myself?
speedflips definitely should be in s tier just because they are so usefull and if you can do them, as you said, you can use them for every aspect of the game
I’ve done that ceiling swerving thing by accident across the whole map
The great thing about the game is that it doesn’t end there, there are combinations too (pinch passes, ceiling double taps, etc.). Feels like the possibilities are endless
Stalls are crazy in sideswipe though XD
Double tap clean
I would switch saves and flip resets but other than that really good tier list
Fast aerial is the only misplaced one in my opinion, as it is one of the earliest, most essential and most used mechanics in the game. You'll use it more than any other mechanic in the game.... I mean you have to imagine "How many games would I win or be viable in without this mechanics?", without fast aerials that puts you out of all game play plat or above. With those arguments, I must say, I think "Fast Aerial is S tier"
I agree with all the skill rankings except one. Saves.. They are extremely underrated as it can be the difference between ranking up and down.. They can look cool when it's seconds left in a close game and with only a second to react u hurl your frame and tip it onto the bar or it comes back out off the post.. It's the same adrenaline as scoring a cool flick
As a platinum, this tier list upsets me lol

This list is D tier
New Title: which mechanics are my favorite and look cool.
Psycho's double redirect was amazing
Your list is good and really understanderble,im not sure if "understanderble" is even a word lmao
Wave dashes are s tier no question. Double dash shots get so much power and look amazing
A couple things. 1. JZR is about as consistent a pincher as there is and hits them about 1 out of every 3 tries. If you want to see a master, he’s always my go to. 2. Would you consider a preflip redirect to be it’s own mechanic? Virge in particular comes to mind with this. The speed he gets with his preflip redirects is actually nuts. If I had a single correction to add it would be maybe considering this as a different mechanic. Oh you left out pancakes, which is fine, just wish I could have seen it next to chain resets. I haven’t seen an actual Ganer clip in over a year and a half. I guess even he got tired of them. Great video as always. 🤝
Agree with everything except saves, and air dribble bumps should be on here at S tier.
saves are what makes or breaks a match. if you can't save you are more likely to lose. opposed to most other mechanics

OMG IM HERE EARLY!!! thanks for making such great content wayton!
Squishy save into a floor pinch for a goal, thats the last save I clipped lol. if saves are also sick goals ill clip them, like me and my buddy both failing to save the ball in hoops but us together failing to save turned into a nasty team pinch that went in lol.. my point is that some saves are worth clipping, other then that i agree with that entire list thru and thru
Do all flicks tornado, breezi, 45˚ etc
