The Fast Aerial is an important ability in Rocket League. It guarantees speed and proximity to the action. When you combine it with other abilities like the Wave Dash, you’re set up for a win. It requires a lot of precision and is a lot of fun. The spectacular Fast Aerial will make you a Rocket League champion in no time! So here is our guide to the Fast Aerial in Rocket League!
To be honest, we already have a fabulous video for you that explains the Wave Dash process in a short and crisp three minutes, written by good ol’ Daniel Ribeiro and voiced by the wonderful Amidu Njiemoun. You can watch it if you’d rather learn with a video than our great text here. The authors will resent you though, so think about it…
Rocket League Guide: What is a Fast Aerial?
- The Fast Aerial is an aerial that gets you up in the air faster and uses a boost to get you off the ground at great speed.
- The Fast Aerial requires a second jump, which gives you an important jump up.
- It can be tricky to execute, but once mastered, the Fast Aerial is the best way to become a Rocket League pro.
We’ll repeat it again for those who haven’t figured it out yet: the Fast Aerial adds a second boost to the Standard Aerial. So you should basically fly into the sky at twice the speed and become an absolute Rocket League god.
Rocket League Guide: How to do the Fast Aerial
- While you’re on the ground, hold the left stick back.
- Now press the jump and boost buttons at the same time, which will get you up much faster than a standard aerial.
- Release the stick when your nose is looking up, otherwise you’ll do a backflip.
- Immediately after releasing the stick, press jump and boost again.
- Keep boosting and you’ll reach the ceiling in no time.
As always, the most important thing in Fast Aerial is practice. So, practice and release the stick at the right moment. Pros mess up the Fast Aerial all the time, so don’t get too upset if it takes you a while to master it. It’s completely normal, and you’ll often find yourself doing backflips unintentionally. In summary: Left stick back, boost and jump, release stick, boost and jump, keep boosting. Sounds easy? Well, hopefully you can do it…
Rocket League Guide: Why should I use the Fast Aerial?
- With the Fast Aerial you are not only Fast, but also Furious.
- This means a faster offense and a faster defense which will be crucial to win.
- When a ball moves super fast, a normal Aerial is no longer enough. Then you need the Fast Aerial.
Well, that’s it then. We hope you enjoyed our guide and are ready to become a Rocket League pro. We love Rocket League, we love Fast Aerials, we love Wave Dashing, and we’ll be back with more Rocket League guides very soon. As we’ve mentioned several times in this space, we’ve also released a guide to Wave Dash, which you should definitely read as well…. you can also check it out below if you’re lazy. Thanks for reading, stay legend.
Rocket League Explained – Car-football for Dummies
Soccer meets racing. In Rocket League, you go hunting for goals with Turbo. What sounds simple can quickly become complex due to the variety of techniques to control the ball. Here’s your beginner’s guide to getting started as a Rocket League pro, including all the terminology you need to know.
Rocket League is a video game published by Psyonix and belongs to the genre (game category) “sports simulation”. These are games where players can virtually practice a sport. In the case of Rocket League, this is a combination of soccer and racing, played on a futuristic soccer field.
Players compete alone or with up to 3 other players in a team, with the goal of scoring as many goals as possible. The winner is the team that has scored more goals at the end of the time. A round lasts about 5 minutes, but is extended with a golden goal in case of a draw. Unlike in conventional soccer, the players do not control people here, but special cars that drive across the pitch.
Rocket League offers a variety of game modes. From classic car-football to fun game modes with mutators. These are selected before the start of each game. In eSports, only the classic mode without mutators is used.
The Rocket League ABC
In Rocket League, the goal is to master the car, learn special moves, and still keep track of the field. When pros throw around terms like 50/50 or double tab, it’s easy to lose track as a newbie. So that you can shine with your knowledge both in the game and in the stream, we have summarized the most important terms of the Rocket League universe for you here.
50/50 – When two or more players touch the ball at the same time, a kind of press ball is created. The direction in which the ball ultimately flies is random and resembles a 50/50 chance.
Aerial – Unlike classic soccer, Rocket League is not only played on the ground, due to their boost, players can also move in the air for a short time, dribble the ball there or start a shot attempt. As soon as a player leaves the ground he makes aerial actions.
Ballchasing – If a player is chasing the ball all the time and neglects his position, this is called ballchasing.
Boost – To bring the car faster to a higher speed there is boost. The players also use this to fly and steer with the cars.
Demolition – The possibility of demolition shows that Rocket League does not always have to be harmless. Here you drive at high speed through the car of another player and destroy the vehicle. The player is taken out of the game for a short time until respawn and the own team has a higher chance to score a goal.
Double Touch – Double Touch is a term often heard in professional Rocket League streams. This refers to a player scoring a goal by first shooting the ball at the wall next to, or above the opponent’s goal and then sending the rebound towards the goal.
Flick – Controlling the ball is the name of the game in Rocket League. Flicks are shots where the player touches the ball through the dodge mechanic while jumping and shoots with it.
Flip Reset- In Rocket League, each car has a double jump, after which the car must touch the ground with its 4 tires to be able to jump again. Due to the game mechanics, it is also possible to perform this on the ball – the so-called flip reset.
ReDirect – if e.g. player A shoots towards player B and the latter then deflects the direction of the ball e.g. towards the goal, this is called a ReDirect.
Wave Dash – One of the most important techniques in Rocket League is the Wave Dash. By a well-timed flip shortly before you touch the ground, you get a speed boost without performing the flip completely. The technique is mainly used when jumping down walls.
