How to speed flip in Rocket League

how to speed flip rocket league

Combining all the best aspects of driving, soccer, and, well, rockets, Rocket League is one of the easiest games to get into that also has an incredibly high skill ceiling. Sure, the aim is just to put the ball in the goal, but the simple swap of kicking a ball to ramming it with jet-powered cars allows for a new level of strategy and tactics that make the game even more exciting. Being able to jump, boost, and flip through the air isn't quite rocket science, but can feel that way when starting off.

The speed flip is a tactic created in Rocket League that is one of the first steps in going from a novice player to an advanced one. It isn't super flashy, but a necessary move that should become second nature to anyone looking to take their game to the next level. It's a versatile move, useful in offensive and defensive situations, and well worth practicing until you can do it in your sleep. Before you get behind the wheel again, check out exactly how to pull off the speed flip in Rocket League.

How to speed flip in Rocket League

A speed flip is a movement tool that is the best way to not only gain speed, but also maintain momentum and reposition around the field much faster than simply boosting, doing a regular flip, and far faster than regular driving. However, it does require you to know how to do one other trick as well: the flip cancel. Here's how to pull it off.

Step 1: Once in a match, begin driving and make sure you have boost.

Step 2: Start by doing a flip cancel, which you begin by jumping.

Step 3: Once in the air, tap your left directional stick down to pull the nose of your car up.

Step 4: At the same time, hold the other directional stick directly up to make your car perform a front flip.

Step 5: As soon as you see your car begin to flip, pull and hold your left stick down again. This will cancel your flip animation, making your car remain facing forward throughout the duration of the "flip".

Step 6: The last component of the speed flip is the air roll.

Step 7: Doing all the above steps while holding down the air roll will result in your finished speed flip.

If there's one thing you'll never be at a loss for while playing Baldur's Gate 3, it's ways to kill your opponents. From swords, axes, and maces to bows, magic, and poison, your potential arsenal is essentially limitless. While that's great for when you're faced with irredeemable monsters and forces of pure evil, sometimes a fight can break out with people you'd rather not kill. This could be due to a failed skill check starting a fight you didn't intend, to a misunderstanding, or because the people attacking you are connected to a group you want to stay on the good side of. When combat breaks out, you're not resigned to either killing your enemy or reloading a save thanks to a handy ability to non-lethally attack enemies, but how to activate it isn't clear.

The continent of Faerun in Baldur's Gate 3 is massive. The landmass and scope of the world are too large to reasonably expect any player to simply run or walk across in a timely manner. Even though the game isn't a proper open world, and instead has various regions you will load between, each one can take quite a long time to navigate from one end of to the other, which can be quite a drag if you're backtracking for missed items or to complete sidequests. Thankfully there is a handy fast travel system you can utilize to zip around the world much faster, once you unlock and learn how to use it, that is. We've rolled a natural 20 while writing this guide to explain the fast travel system in Baldur's Gate 3.
