In this segment, the creator highlights the complexity and appeal of Rocket League, likening it to soccer but with added dimensions of flying, which introduces new creativity, speed, and mechanics. The video aims to provide a timeline for developing aerial skills from beginner to advanced levels. They promote their Rocket League course on Gamers Ready, emphasizing its comprehensive content designed to improve teamwork and mechanical skills across all ranks. The main part of the segment details the learning progression for mastering aerials, starting with the basics and leading up to fast aerials, while also addressing common mistakes like not holding the jump button down.

In this part of the video, the instructor focuses on teaching how to perform fast aerials in Rocket League. Key points include the necessity of using multiple buttons simultaneously on a PlayStation controller—boost (circle) and jump (x). Players must rock their thumb between these buttons, a unique movement in gaming. Some choose to rebind the boost button to a bumper, but many stick with the default and practice the thumb movement.
The instructor emphasizes persistence, advising players to practice hitting stationary aerials directly with the nose of the car before moving to level two, which introduces moving aerials. Players should read the ball’s trajectory and continue hitting it with their nose for accuracy and power. Achieving 80% accuracy on the level two training pack is the threshold for progressing to level three, which involves high aerials, a skill crucial for advancing to higher ranks where players must reach and react quickly to aerial balls.

In this part of the video, the focus is on improving aerials in Rocket League by emphasizing the importance of speed and precision. The speaker explains that even diamonds and grand champions can reach the same aerials, but doing so faster is crucial to reduce the chances of missing. Practicing hitting the ball quickly rather than just hitting it accurately is key. For effective training, maintaining boost almost continuously during aerial attempts and utilizing air rolls selectively are recommended. Air rolls enhance power and accuracy, especially when hitting the ball with the top side of the nose. Consistently practicing difficult angles and being comfortable with air rolling in both directions are also highlighted. Achieving 80% or higher in training packs indicates readiness to advance to higher skill levels.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses a training pack for perfecting aerials in Rocket League, particularly aimed at players at the Supersonic Legend rank. The training pack is designed to significantly improve the speed and efficiency of aerials. Key rules include turning off ball cam to align with a specific boost pad and ensuring the first touch on the ball happens before a specific beep sound in the countdown. Adherence to these rules enhances precision in aerial mechanics. The speaker also encourages viewers to try the training pack, offering codes in the description and promoting their course with a discount. The video concludes with a call to subscribe and a reference to another instructional video on air dribbling.
