THIS „Mechanic“ is GARBAGE… ROCKET LEAGUE

Tell me why I’m plat 2 and just learned to wave dash. I do it off the ground when I’m bored lol

He's right I didn't start wave dashing until later, it's really a delayed kickoff unlike the speed flip. But why use it when u can delay the speed flip 🤔

Y’all need to watch some pro games and let me know how many times you see them do that plat wave dash.

The rocket league community is to soft to understand. Thank you for the Tip!

0.28 i think thats me :/ anyway u can tell me the name hahahaha

whats the song in the background whats the name lol

Don't agree with this. Wavedashes are great alternatives to flipping, if you're in a scenario where you may or may not need to bail out of the boost forward. Flipping locks you into a direction and movement.

im glad that the community isnt feeling this video iether, you asked for wave dash clips in your discord just to roast your own community WOW dude. glad my clip didnt make it in here, mine wasnt a fail and mine was actually very usefull and got a goal doing a fake with 0 boost but if i was a noob or one of the "plats" in your video i would butt hurt about it. you asked for help for your video nobody would of sent you anything if they knew you where going to shit on them. messedup if you ask me especailly because this is completely untrue and not even great advice, most of the people doing those fail dashes have the right idea and got the advice from a pro or ssl.. they will get there in time unless the deside to start doing stupid front flips all game never being in position to do anything when the play quickly moves to them.

Nah bro.

You should introduce the lower level Rocket League players to the wave dash mechanic, and then tell them it’s used in dire scenarios, and typically any other mechanic would be a better one to use. This way, they can try it out themselves, and experiment with different situations, and find out for themselves when it’s better used, and then later when they become high Diamond, or even GC, when they master it, they will be much less likely to overuse the mechanic

In this I will disagree like others but for my own reasons I simply think flips can put you out of position. Wave dashes are almost a low risk in speeding up. I understand your points though and I do agree that lower ranks should not focus on wave dashing first that is if they wanna get better.

I can't remember who said it, but if you have somewhere to be: flip. If you don't, or you're being defensive: don't flip, stay open for a manuever. It may even have been here I heard that. I like this logic. Ground wave dashes allow you to change your mind mid movement, similarly to no flip at all. If you're offensive with a flip or dash, no big deal. Allows you to confidently close the gap.

Plus, it's a good way to keep a metric of how your car moves with air control sensitivity. Maybe you're cold or needing to reassess your tactics, either way it's like a stretch for me in my first game or two. Gets my mind focused on the movement, making wall dashing or wave dash cancels much easier to lock into muscle memory for the session.

Tl,dr: I agree with you, and could find ways to disagree. Think the game needs more fresh movement and tactics all the time, so I'd never suggest people lock down one style.

I was once diamond 1 in 2s. I then decided pre jumping is a great idea, I am now plat 2 because half the games I play I'm airborne no where near the play.

I have 5k hours, and i wavedash like this all the time. In fact. I always do a wavedash kickoff. And even at gc2-3 ive been completely beaten by a fast kickoff maybe twice. It gives you a very stable position close to the ball to react to any kickoff the other player might do

okay, so like many others, i disagree with this. for moving your car quickly around the field when you have no boost, wavedashing can be alot more efficient than flipping, if you get some good wavedashes, you can chain tthem for a much better acceleration than flipping. on top of this, wavedashing can help pull of a small pass or entrance into a 50, where flipping would get your wheels to touch the ball. there has been many times where i'm out of boost and someone is challenging me. the worst case here is you losing the 50, as the opponent has more momentum and more control, but you can wavedash into an infield pass and give your teammate a shot or open net. in 1s, it's common to be stranded in the opponents half with little boost if you overcommit, it happens. but wavedashing can get you back faster if you are good at them.

EDIT: you can also turn straight out of a wavedash, making it a great option if you don't know where the play is going next, and need a bit more momentum to keep up.

tl;dr: i disagree, wavedashes are good when used right, and can easily beat a lower ranked defense.

A lot of people saying he's wrong but I don't think he's saying they're bad or not useful he's saying they're hard to get right when there are other more important mechanics to learn first

everyone who disagrees did definitly not understand the video

It's quicker to adjust off of a wave dash to the ball going in a different direction then by flipping. but pop off I guess.

Hm, have to disagree on this

i personally can answer onw of these, the wavedash kickoff (done properly) gives more stability and is easier to aim, you also accelerate faster than just a diagonal kickoff, tho not as fast as a speedflip, you will get more power coupled with a well timed dodge on the faceoff ive had good results from it, and i use it as im rotating back to conserve my boost for making that nice and juicy save

major disagreement bud, wavedashes help you not completely commit in one direction like a forward flip does, because you can also wavedash into a powerslide and hold momentum, don't pick apart a singular direction in one skill, it's not useless

i don't understand why you mentioned hovering above the ground is an issue when a flip also causes you to be in the air for a period of time
