Rocket League: A Beginner Mechanics Guide For Keyboard And Mouse Players
Ойындар
This video will cover some of the most basic rocket league mechanics for new comers. An introduction on keyboard and mouse controls and my thoughts, the half flip, wave dashes, chained wave dashes, and then flicks. This is one of my first tutorials, I understand I went pretty in depth in some areas, I tried to cut it short, however, these are the top prerequisites in learning more advanced mechanics. These basic mechanics must be learned to progress forward in ranks.

i usually don't write comments no matter what happens but in this video, there's an exception, I didn't see any youtube video about how to improve in rocket league for pc players especially for beginners. I'm deeply indebted to you for making it because it helped me so much and I'm still going to see the other parts I have mastered all the things that u said in this video in one day so u know how good your video is even if its old. I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Finally someone who teaches the keyboard community how to achieve the mechanics of the game. Keep it up, Thanks friend!

This finally is some instructions for keyboard players! I'd love to see more tutorials on keyboard plays. I was feeling keyboard would let me hit a ceiling, but you gave me hope and inspiration to continue as keyboard player. Hope there is more to come, I subscribed for more at least 👍
1400 hours into rocket league and I’m hard stuck champ 1 and I feel like I have really solid positioning and other fundamentals but lack in mechanics and car control that will get me to the next level.. I never thought this type of movement was possible on kb&m but im excited to give it a try, thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I struggle with a few things on keyboard and this video helped me a lot. You've earned yourself a loyal subscriber, sir.
Just finding all this, been KBM for all 1k+ hours at Champ 2-3, but never been mechanical (just good with game sense and team play). Simply removing the 'shift' to air roll has helped me perform some in-game (casual duels), extremely basic, air dribbles. Continuing to play in casuals before going back to competitive, since apparently my muscle memory is recovering with 'shift' rotations and I'm trying to break it. I knew from evample that this was something KBM could get to, and what lead me to look for guides to KBM as I want to be able to contest the skies. Yours is one of the best guides to KBM and has helped the most. Can't wait to keep going through the series!
I have been playing with Keyboard for so long and always had problem with airolls,removing shift instantly helped a ton.Wish I had found this vid sooner,cool stuff man.
Dude where was you when I started to play this game :O - JUST AMAZING -
very informative video and didn't seem to have lost any relevance! i only have 3 hrs in the game and the majority of the guides I've seen were made for stick users, so this will definitely help me a lot in figuring out the basics whilst on keyboard and mouse
I´m playing Rocket league since 2016, but with many breaks. I was never interested in the mechanics, I just played 2vs2 with a firend and was so pround when I hit Diamond 1 back then. 2 weeks ago I finally installed rocket league and played it after about 1 year and i really want to get better in this game, espeacially mechanic wise. I knew non of those you explained here. I always thought you had to play with a controller to do all this stuff so i was very frustrated, because after about 400h only playing kbm it felt impossible to play with a controller. I am so glad, i found your channel with all those great tutorials for kbm. I´m realy looking forward to get better in this game and climb up the ladder. Thank you very much! :D Greetings from germany
Excellent video with great in-depth detail. REALLY wish I saw this when I began RL, or at least a few months in to it. Breaking some of the habits I have and learning the Diamond (or better) mechanics would have helped tremendously!
Your super good at teaching! I just got back into rocket league and use to play with a controller, only a keyboard now with pc and your vids really helped me out. Watched some of your other vids and enjoyed those too. Thanks a lot!
U have no idea how much us keyboard and mouse players appreciate this
Hey Man, thank you so much for these videos you're really underrated. Wish you the best in the future.
Wow I definitely need to add the Q-E settings and practice that, tysm, my friends are always telling me that controller is easier but I feel so uncomfortable when using it, really nice video
your air roll comment is so true, i play kbm and only just started playing and i already found that removing it made it easier mechanically to use E and Q
I just started playing this game thanks to my son. I play Keyboard and Mouse on my PC for this game and i am learning everything i can from you so i can dominate him and his friends. Keep up the great tutorials!
bro this video is what i needed to improve, the best advice I ever had
I wish I changed the shift air roll before, now I have to learn from scratch using the other two without using shift Really thankful I found ur vid man
This was rly helpful. I've seen a few vids and yours was the best no doubt
yesss thx so much can wave dash and half flip properly and i figured out how to do the squishy hax thing just having problems with dribbling but getting there!
Thank the God I've trying to find a player who plays on mouse and keyboard and I found you brother I have been having hard time learning mechanics on rocket league with keyboard and mouse I'll watch your content to get better
I have recently started playing RL again. Was a controller player but enjoying the keyboard and mouse challenge. Thanks for video. You explain things really well. Needless to say, I've sent my sub.
I needed this for so long
I watched many videos on how to improve my skills but this is the only channel i fell helpful
Omg thank you so much I was searching this kind if videos for ages
thanks so much for making this, being a keyboard player this makes learning mechanics so much easier
BIG thanks! I hope your channel grows.
this video of yours has saved me some money and lots of time trying to get familiar with controller gameplay.. i 've never used one for gaming except for Fifa on PS3 and I thought that the most of the mechanics used in RL is a no-no for me as i've just hit the mark of 100hr playtime... thanks for the time you 've put into the KBM tutorial playlist, i'll be using it for sure until i get it all right..! Peace out!

Been playing on kbm for about 150 hours and I'm plat 3 on standard but I still struggle with standard stuff like flicks. Vid definitely helped and I'll be watching more. Cheers
Dude, ur video is amazing, are you kidding me, good job man!!!
Man you're the best!! I'm not a beginner but loved it!!
I don't have a controller so this is amazing
Helpful video. The KBM community is much neglected on KZread so videos like this are great. I'm a KBM player stuck in Plat mainly because I lack basic mechanics. I struggle just to get the ball on top of my car so I can't even attempt those flicks. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I seem to bang it too far and then use boost to try catch up and by then it's going too fast. Also, when do I switch ball cam on and off. At the moment I only switch it off when I'm collecting boost. Hope to see more videos like this.

Jason Isaacs learning ball control is hard it’s one of those things with more time you can get better slowly. I recommend trying some work shop maps if you’re on steam. Go to community workshop and search rocket league they have dribbling maps that helped me! As for your ball cam question that is entirely up to you. When I am dribbling with the ball on top of my car, so my camera doesn’t do circles, I turn ball cam off. As well when I go for boost or rotate in general. I tend to flick on and off ball cam a lot. About 85% of my game though is with ball cam on.
Thank you so much for these info.i love your vids.continue with it.
Thanks for this guide! It helped me out a lot!
I’m a kbm player and I complain so much about rl being so tough. This video is really helpful g.
Brilliant tutorial. I've played kb+m since the game came out and 800 hours later it only took me a couple minutes to get the wave dash down.
Keep up the work bro, really helpful video
Perfectly what I needed. Thank you so much
Dude your so cracked on PC!! I’m definitely subbing to you And thank you for the tips since I’m a beginner in rocket league
this is the best turtorial i have ever seen thank u so much
Awesome in-depth video. Keep it up. I have been playing kbm since season 3 of rocket league. i would also recommend to learn the fast aerial for beginners. my friends who recently joined the game didn't know about this and said they were always getting beat to the ball. i figured that was one reason. i never used q and e to air roll. use shift + a and shift + d but i have put that many hours into the game that now i am comfortable and can do most mechanics with ease. i use q and e to look around and pan the camera. also use c and v to look up and down. mouse button for rear view. all in all an excellent video

That’s pretty clever those controls. If your comfortable with it then hey, that’s what’s best for you. I use my mouse thumb buttons for looking left and right but I don’t have looking up and down bound which I feel hinders me sometimes but I’m also just used to it. If I flick on and off ball cam it kinda does the same thing
I just got the game. Thanks for the tips. I can't wait to try out my skills with this game. I have been a FPS keyboard and mouse player since 1998 so I hope that I can get some skill sets like you have. PC gamers rock!
@ComicallyBad, thank you so much man! This was revolutionary for a 500-hour-keyboard-player that could not switch do controller!
This took me to the last division in gold, 3rd day playing. 🎉🎉Thank you🎉🎉 A lot of players in my skill bracket don't do this and have slower resets.
dude you are amazing i didnt even know that you can bind air roll left and right before watching you
This was very helpful, thanks!
I just started playing rocket league and this video have been very helpful, thanks
really helpful, thanks alot. Was thinking about switching to controller but now i will stick to kbm
Great video man! I'm a super mega noob and this series is helping me a lot,
I'm quite new to the game, so thanks this was very helpful.
I really liked your video more! It was like I was right there playing with you. Other youtubers just show off their skills and tell you that it will take practice yada yada yada. You on the other hand explained so much more better! That's the reason I Subbed to You
Just over 500 hours in and just now realizing that I need to get some tips. Thanks for the vid!
I just got rocket league and I always play games with keyboard so thanks for this haha. It was a little weird when I first started in freeplay without watching anything. The movement is really weird. I also have never really played car games before so this is all new for me..) Thanks again!
great video! just came back here to relearn the halfflip after unbinding airroll haha
I love this series it’s very helpful. Thanks so much

I enjoyed this tutorial, and this has been, by far, the most helpful PC keyboard/mouse tutorial. It was perfect as I too use Q and E for air-roll. Also, the point of removing the air-roll from shift seems promising. I think it can improve the gameplay, holding it as much as you like without worrying for an unintended air-roll, I'm definitely going to try this. And seeing you do side wavedash so well has given me more hope. Thank you for the video, I've subscribed as I believe this is a really good channel for someone playing with kb/m.

I’m glad it was helpful❤️ I think it was around plat when I first started the game where I realized that I was unintentionally holding shift and a making me over rotate. I could never figure out why I was until I found that it was shift being bound. I literally did not even know until then. I wished it defaulted to just q and e. I mean even if you watch pro controller players they all highly recommend changing your controller settings so you can air roll more precisely
@AERNIGH

@@MrComicallyBad Exactly, when I first became curious on the whole air roll topic, probably around plat, the one tip that most of them gave was to change the default binding. I think it was meant for xbox, but coming from a space-sim game "Elite dangerous" which had such rolls, I decided to bind the same in RL. And it was very helpful. In Champ-1, I realized that shift also does the same air roll thing after watching Yukeo's video, but I just couldn't change my muscle memory from Q/E to that. I also don't use shift much for recovery as much I should be doing, which is bad. And it never occurred to me to remove that binding, but this video made it clear. More likely I'll be using shift for recoveries now that it'll hold a single function. Also, what is your opinion on fast kickoff? I try to do the "turn opp. direction then diagonal flip towards ball", but my car doesn't land at the bottom of the ball. Instead the flip almost completes with the bumper hitting the mid of ball. Most of the time it results in ball going back to my half bouncing high, really fast.
@MrComicallyBad

Dr. Cooper to be quite honest I Gave up on the fast kickoff and using the fast flip idea. If I use the new fast flip mechanic it’s not the same as it is on controller. We don’t have the same flips they have so they’re able to land differently and flip differently. I can do the old school fast kickoff that jzr does but it hardly works ever without getting demoed, bumped, or just scored on

I was wondering if I should use Shift or QE for air rolling and you gave me the answer. Thank you for the video. I also feel like Shift is too complex.
This is just what I'm looking for come from a decent level of fps and determined to master rocket league on keyboard and mouse
Thanks bro this is so helpful
im a new kb/m player and this helped a lot
I am a keyboard and mouse and will most likely always will be and these tutorials are suuuuuper helpful
I have near 1000 hours played with keyboard and mouse, peak in C2. And I just noticed Air Roll left and right existed for controllers, so I checked up if someone had tips for keyboard and mouse. Now you saying I should go with Q and E. I think I will try but omg just the though of changing is hard, for the hand memory I mean. If I remember, I'll tell if it went well. xDD But I guess it's true as to airroll with shift I have to be aware of all combinations with WASD. Maybe I'll be too lazy to try for a long time so I don't know. Now these videos for keyboard and mouse, I couldn't find a single one back in the day, I'm really grateful for you doing this. Thank you so much!
