The Only Directional Air Roll Tutorial You Need... — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00want to be able to do this or that or
2. 0:04these, then you're at the right place
3. 0:07because everything you saw there is done
4. 0:09by mastering directional arrol. So, in
5. 0:11this video, I'll explain everything
6. 0:13regarding directional arrow. And look,
7. 0:15guys, no matter if you're bronze up to
8. 0:17SSL, this is something I wish somebody
9. 0:19had told me a long time ago and you'll
10. 0:21be able to benefit from this in the
11. 0:23future. So, make sure to like and
12. 0:25subscribe. Let's no further waste the
13. 0:26time and let's get into it. Okay, but
14. 0:28what is a directional aroll and how do I
15. 0:30bind it? To simply answer this question,
16. 0:33go to settings, then go to controls and
17. 0:36click view change bindings. Once you get
18. 0:38here, scroll a bit down. And then here
19. 0:40you'll probably see arrow right and
20. 0:42arrow left. So if someone mentions
21. 0:44directional arrow, they mean this. It's
22. 0:46either arrow right or arrow left.
23. 0:49Nothing more, nothing less. Now it's up
24. 0:51to you where you bind these. Bind it
25. 0:52somewhere where it's most comfortable
26. 0:54for you. Now once you have it bind it
27. 0:56just see what each button does. Just
28. 0:58jump and click one of these buttons. For
29. 1:01me this is arrow right and this is arrow
30. 1:03left. So when I jump and hold the button
31. 1:06look what it does. It already spins for
32. 1:08me. So this is arrow right and this is
33. 1:11arrow left. Now if some of you are still
34. 1:13like yeah Jack but you know I can do
35. 1:15this with free arrow. Yeah, with free
36. 1:17arrow you can pretty much do this. But
37. 1:19can you do this or can you do that or
38. 1:24can you do this? But there is more to
39. 1:27it. Can you stall with free arrow? You
40. 1:29know the flip reset mechanic this thing?
41. 1:31No, you can't. You can't simply stall
42. 1:34with free arrow. And there are many
43. 1:35other disadvantages I haven't mentioned.
44. 1:38So am I saying free arrow is bad? Not
45. 1:40necessarily. I know some pros, even
46. 1:42freestylers that still use free arrow,
47. 1:44but they use it as a secondary arrow.
48. 1:46That means they usually use it as a
49. 1:49recovery arrow when they need to land on
50. 1:51the ground or just do a few adjustments,
51. 1:53you know, but they don't use it in their
52. 1:55setups or their flip resets or air
53. 1:57dribbles. So, I'm just saying this to
54. 1:59make it clear why directional arrow is
55. 2:01needed. But don't worry, this video is
56. 2:02not about mocking you for using free
57. 2:04arrow. I've been there, guys. [laughter]
58. 2:07I used to use free arrow as well, so
59. 2:09don't worry. I know how you feel. The
60. 2:11great news is that today I'm going to
61. 2:13show you how to effectively use
62. 2:15directional arrow. So maybe in a week
63. 2:17you can feel comfortable with it without
64. 2:19any regrets. So we have bind and
65. 2:21directional arrow. But what should we do
66. 2:23now? You know, I just show you a few
67. 2:25combinations you can do with the left
68. 2:27stick while holding directional arrow.
69. 2:29But I know this can get overwhelming and
70. 2:30that's maybe the reason why you feel
71. 2:32like you shouldn't learn directional
72. 2:33arrow. But don't worry, I have a great
73. 2:35news for you. All of these fancy spins
74. 2:37you see are actually not needed for
75. 2:39basic mechanics like air dribbling nor
76. 2:41even flip resets. To give you a clear
77. 2:43example right now, just watch my left
78. 2:46stick when I do air dribbles.
79. 2:49And now spin.
80. 2:52I barely touch my left stick for such
81. 2:54air dribble. And you know what's funny?
82. 2:56People think they need all of these
83. 2:58crazy tornado spins and weird cucks
84. 3:00twists, whatever. But in reality, you
85. 3:02don't. You need a basic car control with
86. 3:05arrow. And now I will teach you that.
87. 3:07[music] First thing first, pick your
88. 3:08favorite arrow. For me, it's arrow
89. 3:10right, but I still use arrow left. Now,
90. 3:13if there are some of you saying, "Yeah,
91. 3:14but I've heard arrow left is more
92. 3:16consistent." Guys, this is a complete
93. 3:19myth. Both arrows are exactly the same.
94. 3:21It's about your preference. [music] It's
95. 3:23just mirrored. That's it. So, if you're
96. 3:25using arrow left, do the same as in this
97. 3:28video, but just mirror everything
98. 3:30because as an example, I'll be showing
99. 3:32arrow right. [music] So, how do we
100. 3:34control that? First thing I want you to
101. 3:37do is jump and tilt your car back like
102. 3:40this and then boost. Okay, start
103. 3:42boosting. So, you kind of levitate like
104. 3:44that at one place. Now, start holding
105. 3:46aroll. In my case, it's arrow. Right?
106. 3:50Now, your car kind of stays at one
107. 3:52place. Okay? If you're perfectly
108. 3:53vertical, your car should stay at one
109. 3:55spot like [music] this. Now look what
110. 3:57happens when I push my left stick to the
111. 3:59right.
112. 4:01It does a tornado spin and I'm also
113. 4:03steering kind of like to the left. Now,
114. 4:06okay, what if I push my left stick to
115. 4:07the right?
116. 4:10Oh, wait. This is called inverted
117. 4:12tornado spin. And again, it behaves
118. 4:15differently. Now, what if I push my left
119. 4:16stick up? Oh, this is like a weird spin.
120. 4:20This is called Coxer twist by the way.
121. 4:22One of the spins that Coxer was using.
122. 4:25Now, what happens if I put my left stick
123. 4:27down at the same time? Oh, that's
124. 4:30another CER twist. Just inverted
125. 4:32version. There are four variations of
126. 4:34directional arrow. Okay, you have
127. 4:36tornado, you have inverted tornado, you
128. 4:40have cuxer twist going kind of like
129. 4:42upwards and cuxer twist that is twisting
130. 4:45with the lower part of the car, let's
131. 4:47say. Now, if you're asking, okay, so why
132. 4:49are these important and should I use
133. 4:51them in my shots? The answer is
134. 4:54sometimes, but necessarily you don't
135. 4:56need them that much. Okay, actually,
136. 4:59most of the time, all you need is being
137. 5:00able to do clean arrow like this without
138. 5:03any heavy movements. But you do need to
139. 5:06understand how to steer with the arrow
140. 5:08since that's something you might need in
141. 5:10your air dribbles, even flip reset
142. 5:12shots. So, let me show you that. See,
143. 5:13like for example, if you mess up the
144. 5:15setup, now you need to kind of steer.
145. 5:16Okay, a little bit to the right, to the
146. 5:18left while spinning and maybe score top
147. 5:21corner. These shots are unsavable,
148. 5:23especially in platinum and diamonds. So,
149. 5:25in the second step, I'll show you how to
150. 5:27actually control the arrow so you
151. 5:29understand how it behaves and you're
152. 5:31able to practice it efficiently. Now,
153. 5:33again, let's get into this vertical
154. 5:35position. And now, I want you to focus
155. 5:37at one thing, when the hood of the car
156. 5:39is showing on the screen and when the
157. 5:41wheels of the car are showing on the
158. 5:43screen. So focus on that because it
159. 5:45really depends in which timing you push
160. 5:47your left stick to the right, left, up
161. 5:49or down. So to show an example, if the
162. 5:51hood of the car is showing on the screen
163. 5:53and at that time I push my left stick to
164. 5:55the left. So left, left, left. See, it
165. 6:00goes to the left. If I push my left
166. 6:01stick to the right when the hood of the
167. 6:03car is showing on the screen, boom, it
168. 6:07goes to the right and kind of like
169. 6:09downwards like this. What happens if I
170. 6:11do it when wheels are showing on the
171. 6:13screen? Okay. So, I push my left stick
172. 6:14to the left.
173. 6:17Oh, wait. It's going to the right. If
174. 6:19wheels are showing on the screen and I'm
175. 6:21pushing my left stick to the right. Oh,
176. 6:23it goes to the left. So, to simply put,
177. 6:26it really matters when you actually push
178. 6:28your left stick with the arrow at the
179. 6:30same time. And don't worry, I know this
180. 6:32seems very difficult or overwhelming,
181. 6:34but if you experiment with this for like
182. 6:361 hour in free play and get hang of it,
183. 6:38everything will make so much more sense.
184. 6:40Now you can do the same thing while
185. 6:42pulling left stick up. Okay. So if the
186. 6:44hood of this car is showing on the
187. 6:46screen, let's see what happens. If I
188. 6:47pull my left stick up, [music] it goes
189. 6:49to the left but kind of downwards. If I
190. 6:51push it down, it goes to the right. With
191. 6:54wheels on the screen is exactly the
192. 6:56opposite. You know what I mean? Now,
193. 6:58what other tutorials won't really tell
194. 6:59you is that you can do something in the
195. 7:01middle of tornado spin and cuxer twist.
196. 7:04Basically, you can push your left stick
197. 7:06diagonally down or diagonally up. For
198. 7:09example, I can push my left stick up up
199. 7:11up to like 10:00 like this. The car kind
200. 7:14of faces upwards. It doesn't go down,
201. 7:16which is something you might need in
202. 7:17your air dribbles. If I push it 2:00,
203. 7:21it might go to the right. Again, it
204. 7:23depends in which timing I'm pushing it
205. 7:25up. You know, you can also hold it, but
206. 7:27I highly recommend just tap it. So, what
207. 7:29I'm trying to say is that you can get a
208. 7:31movement that is a mix between tornado
209. 7:33spin and a cuxer twist. For example, you
210. 7:35can push it down to like 5:00, you know,
211. 7:37and also it does this. That means you
212. 7:39have actually many options how to steer.
213. 7:41And you know, if you're if you're used
214. 7:43to pushing your left stick down, for
215. 7:44example, this is a great news because
216. 7:46you can literally do it by pushing your
217. 7:47left stick down. You don't need to push
218. 7:49your left stick up as I showed you.
219. 7:50There are just many versions and many
220. 7:52possibilities. That's why I love using
221. 7:54directional arrow. And yeah, since there
222. 7:55are a lot of possibilities, it seems
223. 7:57like it's too complicated. But as I
224. 7:59said, if you understand this concept,
225. 8:01it'll be way easier to practice it and
226. 8:03use it in your shots. And once again,
227. 8:05remember what I said in the beginning.
228. 8:06You barely need these fancy spins. You
229. 8:09just need to control your car and being
230. 8:10able to do delicate movements on your
231. 8:12left stick and be able to slightly
232. 8:14steer. See, like if this setup is great
233. 8:16and you're able to follow the ball,
234. 8:18there shouldn't be a problem. I barely
235. 8:20steer with the arrow. So, this is great
236. 8:22news for you guys. Now, step three is to
237. 8:25actually actively work on it and
238. 8:26practice it. In the beginning, I would
239. 8:28recommend ring maps, but once you get
240. 8:30somehow consistent with arrow,
241. 8:32definitely go into free play or training
242. 8:34packs and practice your directional
243. 8:36arrow in actual shots. So, I know you
244. 8:39might have heard a lot of people talking
245. 8:40about ring maps. Uh, they're great, but
246. 8:43they can be also very limiting at the
247. 8:45same time. So, yeah, you can try ring
248. 8:47maps. Why not? Most of the times, you
249. 8:49don't really need these turns, you know,
250. 8:51when you're actually doing air dribbles
251. 8:53or flip resets. I'm very confident to
252. 8:55say you don't need to have such aerial
253. 8:57control in order to get good at
254. 8:59mechanics like flip resets or air
255. 9:00dribbles. I made a completely free
256. 9:02training pack that you can get in my
257. 9:04Discord server and this one is focusing
258. 9:06on air dribbling and aerial control. The
259. 9:08first setup is very straightforward. You
260. 9:10just fly up with arrow and try to hit
261. 9:12the ball in the center. This gives you a
262. 9:14better comprehension how to use aerial
263. 9:16midshot. Now what I suggest doing is
264. 9:18actually not holding the arrow through.
265. 9:21Just arrow once, get under the ball, and
266. 9:23then maybe do few spins at the end of
267. 9:25the shot. But at first, try to get
268. 9:27consistent with the mechanic, and then
269. 9:30add these fancy spins. You know, you
270. 9:32can't just jump from level one to level
271. 9:34three. That's impossible, guys. You can
272. 9:36also use this for flip presets or
273. 9:38anything you'd like. I highly recommend
274. 9:40using this training pack. Now to
275. 9:42summarize everything, in order to become
276. 9:44the best version of yourself with
277. 9:46directional arrol, you genuinely need to
278. 9:48spend some time in free play testing the
279. 9:50timing and understanding it. The great
280. 9:52news though is that you don't need all
281. 9:54these fancy spins I'm doing right now.
282. 9:56So try to have basic understanding.
283. 9:58Maybe learn these delicate movements,
284. 10:00you know, slightly to the right, go
285. 10:02slightly to the left, but that's
286. 10:03genuinely all you need. Yeah. Look like
287. 10:05when I do a flip reset setup, do you see
288. 10:07I'm doing all these fancy tornado spins?
289. 10:10Not at all.
290. 10:13Let me just score this. That was a nice
291. 10:15outro shot, guys. I hope you enjoyed
292. 10:17this one. Let me know in the comments
293. 10:18what is your biggest struggle and if you
294. 10:20enjoy these tutorial formats. And yeah,
295. 10:22also let me know which tutorial would
296. 10:24you like to see next time. All right,
297. 10:25have a good one. Peace.
