[Help] Advanced Tutorial

[himmatsj]

Hi folks,

Got this last night on Steam, played for 2 straight hours, and then a little more after that. I went through the basic tutorial first, then attempted to go for the Advanced tutorial but got stuck. I started playing Ranked, got slaughtered, played some Playlist (game doesn't explain the distinction between the two, so I was none the wiser) and things were better. I then played a Rookie Season and yeah now I think I have my basics well covered.

Anyways, there are two things I cannot do in the Advanced tutorial, and I feel it is holding me back from really playing the game to the utmost level.

1) It says "tap right mouse twice" to do a double jump. There are 4 stationary balls to knock down. Thing is, whenever I approach these balls at speed, I cannot even reach them by double jumping. I tried to do two quick right mouse buttons, then do it with a pause...nothing worked. I also tried building up speed but it didn't seem to help. Eventually, I set my car right beneath the ball...and then, when I do double jump, I can hit it. But this is from a stationary position. Can anyone help me here?

2) Another issue I have is I got no idea how to "fly". The tutorial is very unclear. Right mouse + S to pitch + Left mouse to boost...but I can't seem to get the timing right for the button presses. It would have been really superb if the tutorial at least guided you through the timing of the button presses as well. Try as I did, I couldn't know a single ball from height during this portion of the tutorial.

Hope you guys can help me out here. Rocket league is my first ever multiplayer game on Steam, and I would like to get decently good at it (not a pro or anything, but good enough to be a match for most and to enjoy the game as it was intended).

Thanks!

flying is pretty straight forward (pun intended) you really just jump, point your car to the ceiling and boost.

i recommend to play with a controller^^ i know, some out there love to play with keyboard, but at least give it a try

I've only played goalie and aerial tutorials. Played only on all-star.

As for flying, it takes tons of practice to hit those balls perfectly. I feel like it expects a bit much out of you in practice. Jump and immediately pull back and hold the boost. Not necessary to double jump. In the air, steer towards the ball a bit early to account for direction. It also depends on which car you use. The Hotshot was like flying a brick, but the Breakout made it much more possible.

After a while, you'll start getting the hang of flying in actual matches, and this will be crucial for proper goaltending, and even scoring. Just practice with a friend in training. Have him shoot high shots at you, and keep trying to use aerial boosts to stop it. Aerial training helps a lot too, but as I said, they seem to expect a bit much out you when hitting those super high balls directly at the net 10 times in a row.

It's all about timing, initial direction, and practice. Always have some turbo saved up, and try not to use boost on the ground unless it's necessary. That said, doing a forward roll (forward + double jump) makes you go pretty fast, and is a good substitute for boost, so try not to rely on boosts too much on the ground.

Flying isn't difficult. You just have to get used to it.
1) Jump
2) Pitch up
3) Boost like there's no tomorrow
Hey, this is from probably the worst RL player. I'm not good at flying in this game like you can see:

I know this is kind of an old thread but I thought there would be others who got stuck at this, like I did. The thing I was doing wrong was I was holding the S button too long (well, forever). Hold S until your car is pointing upwards (or almost upwards. Knowing the meaning of "pitch up" helps too :)), then release it and hold left mouse (boost) and you'll see your car actually flying in a vertical position. Once you get the hang of it, rest is aiming which seems to take a lot of practice. I think I had to do more than 50 jumps to finish that tutorial. :D Hopefully this helps someone.

I'm not sure what the button is on mouse and keyboard, but I ended up playing for like 2 months before I realized if I held the x button on the 360 controller I could tilt my care sideways in the air.

Just letting you know.

I'm bumping this thread, because there is no answer about the jumping part.

They did answer part of their own question though. But if it's about hitting the balls while moving, all you really need to know is how to fly/gain height from double jumping and boosting and it'll be easy.
Hope a thread this old doesn't stay up too long.

I can't boost at all in this part, it doesn't seem to activate the boost when holding LMB

Oh right I meant outside of the tutorial. Never mind.
I've only really succeeded the tutorial by stopping underneath the ball and jumping twice.

Sadly, it works only for certain balls. For some of them it lacks just a tiny bit to touch them, even if i do a second jump when peaked the first. I'll take screenshots when i can

[Oren]

guys, if any of you still having trouble doing the jump, the trick for the higher ball is to tap jump twice quickly. do not hold the jump key but tap it twice real quick.

[Hoordyn]

hold jump, then jump again and hold again, if needed point your head up, and you will reach it.

i came here,,,,because i can't do any of them help...

Old thread I know but the first search result so I just wanted to confirm that double tapping A and then holding it on the 2nd tap is the answer. I tried single tap A hold then second tap but it didn't work. You get just a little more lift from the quick second tap. Was able to clear all balls effortlessly after a getting the timing down.
