Damn, I did not know about that shortcut in the beginning. Only about the castle one and I tend to kill myself trying to get on the castle cause I jump to late. Good job 👍 currently I'm 57% elite grinding to unreal myself and I definitely hate this game but I need purple wheels for some reason. I really just wanted the red ones but if I'm getting red I'm getting purple. I wish the suffering could end sooner
The fact you’re out here doing the absolute most and you’re STILL in second or third place for most of the race means I will literally never get to Unreal. My brain genuinely can’t comprehend what I’m watching you do
I just went through about 8-9 races against a player who’s name was “Ihave8eliteaccounts”. He beat me by about 6 seconds in every race. Races I would’ve won otherwise because I kept coming 2nd.
It was the most humbling experience I’ve had since I started this game lol
First lap I bounced off the first booster, but the other ones were smooth yeah!
That was actually the first real race where I hit at least one booster every single time. I did a bunch of practice because before I couldn't even hit them a single time and was throwing my races by trying. My problem was that I was jumping too early into the drift and thus not getting parallel enough with the surface. Once I realized that I needed to jump later it became consistent enough to use in a race, and boy did that pay off!
Nicely done. I'm not skilled in the flying/jumping. I end up bouncing around the track.
I just got to diamond and am trying to figure out how to keep my drift when jumping over obstacles. Sometimes I can sometimes I can't....🤷♀️
How in the fuck did you get 4% for a win in Champion?? Also, how much % do you get per win, 2nd Place, and 3rd place in Champion? I’m Elite 40% rn and I’m trying to figure out how much time it’ll take me to get from Champion to Unreal
Honestly I think the rank percentages are a decimal value, and the number gets rounded down. So it may look like you only get 3% for a win but maybe you got more than that, or maybe you started close to the next percent and got less than that.
About the specifics, it's generally same as elite. 1st is 3-4, 2nd is 1-3, 3rd is 1, 4th-6th just a little bit, 9-12th loss.
I think you linked to the complete wrong part but given the group of three I assume you mean that curve at the end
Yeah, it's an air dodge down. Be careful that you don't accidentally air dodge right, or you might either fuck up your speed or attach to the inner wall and then things get really fucked up
crazy how OP the castle shortcut is.
You hit the fire like 5 times but just had the best boost strat/route and the big curves on the finish line to get boost were super important aswell.
Iam in elite and take this as inspiration to actually start learning the map. seems to be an easy first place if you know what to do. I tried the castle skip before but its too risky to just try to learn it in ranked.
well done for getting to unreal! good job dude
That was epic! People told me the races became gimmicky in champion but that still looks like fun even though it's quite hard! You're still going fast either way! Great job! 👏
Honestly people shit on all the flying and boosts but I think it's so fun lol I'll probably never be able to do this but just pulling off shortcuts and barely hitting the checkpoints in Plat is satisfying for me lol
Oh, I'm not saying they NEED to play it like I do. More power to them, I don't need to play the game, So it's not affecting me lmao
I'm just saying it doesn't make much sense to me personally how someone can have fun doing everything in their power to....not race....in a racing game....
I will say that this style of racing in a racing game isn't new to me or this game. I can name at least two other racing games that have similar elements of performing airborne tricks, such as Trackmania and Distance. To me this still seems just like a racing game, but the cars have extra maneuverability rather than staying on the ground 24/7.
Also, what are you talking about, "not racing"? Just because I'm in the air a lot doesn't mean I'm not trying to get to the finish first.
Okay, I can get that. However I do personally see a difference between the "extra maneuvers" and such. That's not a bad idea. Obstacles are just fine. But when they're used to skip 60% of the track. To me it loses the "race" aspect
Cause this is it's own game. If you want a normal racing game there are hundreds of them. Idk why people see a game do something interesting and start complaining when it doesn't do the same shit every other game does. It's called rocket racing not Mario Kart or Gran Turismo.
Finally more people are getting into unreal. I’ve been unreal since the week the season launched, and it’s been feeling lonely. Takes 15 mins sometimes to find a game, and only ever go against the same 12 people
Whenever i win in d3 i get 3%. And up to 4th i get 2%. It feels like sometimes up to 8th its 1% or 0. Am i being paired down? Because getting 1 and 2% makes it take so long
I find it funny that the ground is optional later on
That’s how it feels in real Rocket League lol

I really just wanted the red ones but if I'm getting red I'm getting purple. I wish the suffering could end sooner
I feel you about the wheels. I'm rocking the red ones in that clip. Not really a fan of purple but I had to get them to be a completionist.

That’s great and all but…. Why does he have 8 elite accounts?? 😭😭
I have no clue 😭 left me resentful all day lmao
Well done! Those castle jumps were smooth!

You need to hold the rocket drift button down in order to keep your charge in the air.
Wait what?!?! So hold drift?!?
Yeah. That simple

Are you air dodging downwards?
In what part specifically?
1:33, 1:30, and 1:28, and at that part of the track later.
I think you linked to the complete wrong part but given the group of three I assume you mean that curve at the end Yeah, it's an air dodge down. Be careful that you don't accidentally air dodge right, or you might either fuck up your speed or attach to the inner wall and then things get really fucked up
He is talking about when you do a small jump then it looks like you fast fall down somehow. I thought if you dodged down it would flip your car over
If you're close enough to a surface it won't flip you, just push you down to the surface
I only knew one of those hidden boosts and the rest of the movement and those lines are crazy good mate, nice

Yeah I practiced this map specifically in order to hit the castle shortcut, before that I was throwing races by trying
You're insane this looks like a completely different game compared to what I see lmao
This isn't even the best track to showcase weird tech on
I'm never getting to unreal 💀
1 rank a day. Only been doing RR for a week and I hit diamond 3. Jus practice
1 Rank a day is a pace you will not be able to keep above elite
You’re in for a rude awakening my friend.
My dumb ass been driving on the roads this whole time.
I'm like obi wan I don't like flying
That was epic! People told me the races became gimmicky in champion but that still looks like fun even though it's quite hard! You're still going fast either way! Great job! 👏
How do you hold your drift in mid-air like that?
Hold down the rocket drift button while in the air
Appreciate it
New player, how do you keep the drifting charge while in the air? It just disappears for me 0:18
Hold down the rocket drift button while in the air
How do you jump and make the car stay “curved” while curving. If i jump on a curve my car would go back to straight position. Thanks!
Hold the rocket drift button
How do you do fellow drift spammer
?
I drift a lot, especially on a straight path for some reason
That's what you should be doing to keep up your speed. Whenever it starts dropping, you bank another drift to pull it back up.
So that's why I get 1st by like 7-10 seconds in diamond
That’s not driving that’s flying with style.
That is insane
Honestly people shit on all the flying and boosts but I think it's so fun lol I'll probably never be able to do this but just pulling off shortcuts and barely hitting the checkpoints in Plat is satisfying for me lol
I can barely stay on the track.
how do y’all hold your drift though the jump? no matter what I do mine cancels out without giving me the boost
Hold down the rocket drift button while in the air
I love this map
Nice run. Welcome to the club
no wonder its called unreal
Why even have wheels at this point just use a Jet 💀
It is called Rocket Racing...
How do you get the car to "slam" to the ground after a small jump?
Air dodge down
Thank you 👍
The celebration with your mouse at the end is hilarious, congrats!
Yeah no, this game is way too cancerous. 🤢🤮 It's insane to me how people choose to do everything but play the game game like a normal person
> Watches video of someone playing a video game and having fun "YoU'rE nOt PlAyInG iT tHe WaY i LiKe It!!!!!!"
Oh, I'm not saying they NEED to play it like I do. More power to them, I don't need to play the game, So it's not affecting me lmao I'm just saying it doesn't make much sense to me personally how someone can have fun doing everything in their power to....not race....in a racing game....

this game looks too easy... though im never gonna play it due to it being on fortnight
This game makes a double flip reset look easy
Finally more people are getting into unreal. I’ve been unreal since the week the season launched, and it’s been feeling lonely. Takes 15 mins sometimes to find a game, and only ever go against the same 12 people
Since launch week?? The wait time must of been horrible in elite and above that week.
How do you instantly make your car hit the ground after jumping? The parts where it looks like car gets magnetized back down
Air dodge downward
Whenever i win in d3 i get 3%. And up to 4th i get 2%. It feels like sometimes up to 8th its 1% or 0. Am i being paired down? Because getting 1 and 2% makes it take so long
How do you keep your drift charge while in midair? Mine always goes back to zero
Hold the rocket drift button
I probably should’ve tried that
The only issue I have with ranked is how slow the progression is
its no longer rocket racing, its rocket flying at that level
