Yeah I see that. I only play 2s or 3s. I’ve just seen a lot of times when the other team goes for the fast kickoff and it does not go well for them. Seems to be more on the negative than positive for other team. Idk how it is at higher ranks though.
I’ve found that as long as teammates know how to play kickoffs correctly in case something does happen it isn’t the biggest deal not doing fast kickoff. Just my thoughts though but in 1s I can for sure see it helping
If you aren’t doing a speed kickoff at c3, people will start taking advantage of it. One of my favorite diagonal kickoffs is a speedflip followed by a sideflip to force the ball to my back corner while I rush to the opposite side mid boost. but if the opponent doesn't speedflip, it tends to send the ball sailing to the bottom corner of their net.
If they try to counter this kickoff by coming at the ball from a more central angle, I can aim my speedflip to land on the other side of the ball and touch it around them by hitting it to the wall.
It is true that is most cases (outside of 1v1) their teammate can save the ball, but it still a significant advantage if you can consistently touch the ball around the first player.
This is the type of answer I was looking for. Thanks for explaining exactly how you do it and what you can expect the result to look like. Make a lot of sense
anyway, learn it give you insight what it can do and options. ie, like using ceiling reset to defend ceiling shot and off wall flip resets. and it's useful ground movement since you use less boost. generally and landed pretty straight compare to just diagonal flip. (it also help to train the flip cancel shot's timing, a lot of modern stuff involves cancel the dodge at right timing. )
Will do. I’ve tried it a bit. I’ve just never really gone into free play or training and practiced stuff. I just play and learn but that one’s kinda hard lol. My buddy told me how to do it though and sometimes I can but it’s usually a mess lol. Just never committed
there is a bakkesmod speedflip training plugin in that should go with a custom training pack.

very helpful to identify your input issues.
Unfortunately I’m on Xbox but I appreciate it
welp, you can still use the training pack though.
