Sorry its been a long time but SHES BACK! *Like the video* if you think I should help her with more advanced mechanics like Double Taps next (7 likes and I'll consider)

the best thing that emmie has is mental. she has powered through way longer than most plats or below ever would try. mad respect to the grind

So glad this series is still going, I'm pumped for Emmie to hit GC. As someone struggling with the grind through Diamond, seeing her working hard is very motivating for me. The drop back to Plat might be disheartening, but it's all in the name of improvement. Nobody's road to GC is a straight line, as much as we wish it could be. Best not to get too hung up on your specific rank, and focus on your goals and implementing your game-plans in game. A Diamond who loses 10 games and demotes to Plat but learns from their losses and improves, will eventually outrank a Diamond who wins 10 games and promotes to Champ but learns nothing because they think they're playing great. The only Ls we take are Lessons.

I just helped my plat 3 friend with his binds and now he is a consistent D2. Keybinds hold you back more than you think. Thank you for making this series! I was plat 2 when you started with Ray and now I am C1!

I switched up my keybinds not that long ago to accomplish similar things that you two were aiming for in her training, and it initially set me way back. I had so much muscle memory on my original keybinds that I get pressing the wrong buttons in the game. But, now that I've gotten used to it, the switch has definitely raised the ceiling for my potential, also. Power through the rank drop, stay strong, and keep it up!

Can we take a moment to appreciate how much effort that Cbell puts into his videos keep up the great work❤

LETSSS GOOO! This is my fav RL series because I’m improving at almost the exact same rate along with her

GO EMMIE GO

love the series, so nice to see her improve, your doing a great job CBell, good luck to both of you!

I'm invested! I'm really glad she's taking this change in stride since it has to be pretty hard to let go of bad habits... imagine if she had been playing with good key bindings from the beginning.

I mean, this video series might seem a good idea but they also are hard and frustrating to make and watch. I look at my progression also to say that I can understand her and the reason she struggles to rank up fast. The only reason I got my rank is cause of COVID during 2020 and 2021. And I would bet that's true for many other RL players. If it wasn't for me being mostly confined in my house, I wouldn't have spent the insane amount of time playing this videogame. And I truly mean insane. I remember once I had 102 hours over the previous 2 weeks. If all this pandemic didn't happen I would be 2 full ranks below what I'm now. There's a reason people who do road to SSL with all those tips making it sound easy don't simply make everyone in their viewership rank up to SSL instantly. And it's not cause they might be bad at coaching in the right way or giving the correct advices. That's cause RL is just not a game where you can replicate something purely cause someone showed you how or told you how you should behave in a specific situation. She could party with an SSL player on an alt account and have her carry up to GC in one afternoon if her goal was simply to get to GC, but in order to get to the ability and knowledge and mechanics of the players in that rank you need loooads of time. The average GC (from GC1 to GC3) probably has over 3k hours in game. I don't know how many hours she has in game but from her rank I would assume it's max 1k hours. To get to 3k she would need to play an average of 5 hours a day for more than one year. And we all know she doesn't put that amount of time into the game. So with her natural progress, I'd say she's looking at a 2+ year journey. But when talking about as much time as more than 2 years, another factor has to be considered which is that other players improve too and in order to keep the rank distribution right, reaching higher ranks becomes harder and harder. Basically she has to improve more than the average player at her current rank improves during all stages of her climb. Many people rank up to a specific rank and get stuck for loads of time simply cause they can't outpace the improvement progression of other players at that rank. While others maybe even reach a rank and then find themselves drop down and incapable to rank back up cause they are not even matching the average improvement at that rank and are left behind, like if you leave the game for years it's very evident. If she will ever reach GC by her own and actually stay at that rank for long enough to prove it wasn't a fluke, it surely won't be this year or next year. And you can quote me on that if I will be wrong. That would mean that either: 1. Psyonix messed up the rank distribution, like in OG s3; 2. She was playing with her monitor off all this time and she finally turns it on; 3. She finally has found the way to put a massive amount of time into RL, way more than 5 hours a day on average. I don't really see any other scenario where she reaches this rank before the 2nd half of 2025 at the very best.

CBell I cannot stress enough how helpful this series has been to my personal growth in RL. Your breakdown of setting up and approaching air dribbles off the wall, as well as this episodes suggestion to rebind power slide has been a revelation. It's seriously unlocked a level I didn't think I could reach as an aging gamer and has made RL intoxicating again. After seasons struggling in C1, I feel like I've honestly made the breakthroughs I need to finally reach GC. Thank you and thanks to Emmie for this series, it's been inspirational and enlightening in equal amounts!

Really excited to see this progress. Feels like ive been stuck hovering from d3 to c1 for months

I love this series. Can’t wait for more!

Its so cool seeing her get better. It really makes me want to improve too!😁

YES I’ve been waiting for this episode hopefully it will be fire 🔥 like the others ❤

This series is actually helping me improve as well because i also had X as my powerslide and now i have it on lb which is gonna be amazing

Great to see that Emmie is still on track! Keep pushing ❤

Loving this series. It's helped me see where I'm having problems as well! Keep it up Emmie!

The return of the most anticipated series! Let's go

What a great progression! I feel like focusing more on where you want to be in each ring as you progress, planning ahead will come naturally with enough repetition.

So happy to see this back it’s great to see her doing so good!!

Great progress and I'm glad y'all are back! Definitely don't sweat the rank drop - Most folks in the Plat/Diamond/Champ range lost a rank with the reset two seasons ago and things are definitely more competitive in low Diamond/high Plat.

Yesssss I've been waiting for another emmie vid! this is a great series

I've been waiting for this episode for ever! And it's finally out. Let's goooo

When I was learning air roll, I couldn't really listen to others' advice. I learned mostly by just doing half rotations through each ring. Go forward to first ring, half air roll and go backwards thru second ring, half air roll, go forwards thru third ring, etc. Also, after each half air roll, you must make some directional input. Just doing that over and over built a good foundation, and eventually you kind of naturally start to do it faster until it becomes a full air roll.

I love this serie! Finally its back, looking forward to seeing the next video :)

Keep grinding yo this series is dope and everyone I saw took a dive rank wise last season I need to force myself into swirling bindings and put it off

These are definitely my favorite videos from you

i’ve been doing more rings maps lately and TRULY it’s helped my gameplay so much (i’m d2). being able to shadow defend better, hit aerial shots and clears way better, and even just readjusting mid-air if i get bumped. my air control is just SO much better. they’re difficult at first but practicing makes them easier pretty quickly

As someone who peaked at d2 and went back to plat2 this was somewhat encouraging knowing her progression too! T-T Really love this series!

I feel like my experience mirrors Emmie's to a good extent. My top rank in the past has been D3 and now I'm hard stuck plat, even dipping back to P1. It's discouraging to drop that low again, but I'm going to keep grinding. I think I need to train up my mechs skills cause I basically have zero mechanical prowess. Keep it up Emmie, I need these progression videos as much as you do for sure, and thanks CBell for keeping the motivation going.

i need training like this, the powerslide advice is gonna be a game changer

I’m so glad you posted this series is good

I was waiting for this video, i'm 100% confident emmie will get grand champ! Don't give up!

i love this videos as your helping her out its helping me out by watching n using the advise you give her

Yay the best series is back

been waaaaaiting for this

This upload has made my day

keep going emmie, im hardstuck champ 3 - gc1 with around 3.5k hours but that has not phased me one bit and with cbell alongside u in your journey, u can definitely hit gc in less than half the hours I have :)

No stress with dropping ranks. I think a lot of people have been hit with dropping ranks recently. Mixture of a new season and seemingly endless smurfs carrying people or just weird games with players getting crankier than normal. Enemies doing great. Such a great series to watch. And I’m learning heaps too.

NEW EMMIE BANGER AYYY

Glad these are back I've only been playing about a month and a half maybe 2 so been using this as a coaching for me too, hit plat 2 duv2 already so keep em posing boss man😂 good luck emm

quick tip that helped me learn full airroll left rings maps quickly: start forward ofc. then do backwards, then sideways then the other side. if you cant do any side, slow to game down to 50% and slightly increase each time ur getting confortable. after that do the same and try to make a random rotation after each ring, sometimes just a quarter tuen, sometimes half, and you can even fit in more if you have the time. and always decrease game speed if you are sturggling and only increase when u get confortable with that speed. after a while you can start to spin more and more... this helped me to get airroll down perfectly in rings maps

The cool thing about Emmie’s journey is that it is very realistic and inspirational. Everyone (I’m guilty as well) is forcing themselves to go for results (read: ranks), but it is about the journey: trying out new things, finding out that things work or don’t work for you, keep trying and realise that you can’t pick up a GC rank just like that. So, actually thanks a lot for letting us wait so long, and thus being so realistic.

Glad to see this is still going on. Im in the same boat. Looking to learn a lot from this series.

YEESSSS THE SERIES IS BACKKK

I've been waiting for this vid

Bravo Emmie! 👏👏 One question tho, if you put power slide on L1, what do you move reverse to? X?

this series a win no matter what! (:

Lets go i was waiting for this episode im technically the same like emmi i have ben grinding since 2017 and still d1 and this has helped me so much

If it's any consolation to Emmie, I've been grinding my way through Champ and recently had a drop from C2 all the way down to D3. Just continuing to try to learn new things (double taps and air dribbles for me, power slide and air roll for her) and figure out how and when to use them best is gonna reset the rank sometimes, but you'll come out the other side better and stronger. Keep up the hard work, Emmie! Can't wait to see you in my Champ lobbies :D

ty for the amazing content! love your vids!

Finalllyyy EMMIE VIDEOOO keep it up mate

Same thing happened tp me last season and at the end I hit champ. Keep the grind up

Glad this is back

Tysm cbell!!!!!!!I have missed emmie sooooooo much!!!!!!🎉🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😍😍😍😍😍😍😁😁😁😁😁😆😆😆😇😇😊😊😊

Welcome back Emmie!!! Don't sweat it, keep up the hard work

Awesome video btw, love your content!

i used to be just like emmie in the air roll part, i used to just hold the stick to the right while pressing l2 and hope for the best, but then i watched some pro videos and i realized that they move the stick like top right and bottom right, so i decided to keep doing that and after like 2 weeks i suddenly just got good at it, so just like what cbell said, you will suddenly just get good at it if u experiment enough

Thanks for teaching ❤️

We love you emmie!❤

As a GC for many years now. I want everyone to know there is no quick and easy tip/way to get you in the higher ranks. It's many hours of trial and error. That's why I like this series, it's as raw as it gets.

noooice finally next chapter :D

Loving this series CBell. Did you ever upload any un-edited training sessions in the end? The montages are nice but you don't really get to see how progression happened very well.

I’ve been waiting for this

Gooo Emmie Go!!

les gooo new video with emmie

Just wanted to point out that teaching her tornado spins is a good way to get comfy with the air roll helped me alot when i first started, also playing ones while frustrating is one of the best ways to get better as an individual player

I will say that from my own personal experience, keybinds have never really been much of an issue. I still to this day use the og keybinds, aside from air roll right and left of course, and I know for a fact that some of the best players do as well. First killer himself uses them and we all know how good he is. I've managed to achieve the rank of grandchamp with the default keybinds myself, so don't feel pressed if you already have the muscle memory for the defaults to all of a sudden change them. Keep on grinding gamers!

yess finally a new episode

EMME IS BACKKKKKKKK YESSSSSSS

This is the best Rocket League Series ever on KZfaq... Greetings from Germany ✌

I thought she had given up and that's why you didn't post for so long, glad to see she's back !

sometimes when improving, things get worse before they get better. because you are learning a new correct way of doing things that you arent used to. Kinda like how you make your house messier in the process of tidying up

So much nostalgia reflecting on the journy to GC

I am looking forward to the day that we get to see emmie hit gc. Keep up the hard work Emmie!

Take your time, it's a process :) I've always said I would rather that "I" improve, than my rank does. Because the latter will always progress when your skill does. Gl on the grind!

Now put boost on RB, and air roll left/right on X and B. Bumper boost makes fast aerials way easier because you don't have to fatfinger A and B, and when she starts making plays off the wall, it will be so much easier if she can jump, boost, and tornado spin all at the same time.

GC took me years, it's a hard climb. But i kept with it. it's great to see Emmie and you are, too.

Big fan cbell love the content ❤

this game is so damn complicated lol its also very hard to convince people to do things different than they have to get to this point I'm in champ but this has motivated me to take the plunge on a binding change (to appjack binds)

YES ITS BACK!!!

Hey CBell, I am a Rocket League player that wants to get better, and I have learned a lot from your videos. I love your playing style and I want to play like you and even with you someday. Keep doing what you’re doing man ❤

I finally said I'm sick of sucking and I'm putting in more effort to grind threw plat so I can actually not completely suck playing 3s with my champ buddies its so tough to be gold and just get stuck watching the game while I should be contesting so much more 😂 I appreciate these vids for sure

you got this, emmie!

good job emmi you got this !!!!

@CbellRL I think it should be good to tell her to unbind DIRECTIONAL and master first NORMAL AIR ROLL properly, directional is not necessary at all. Like you are adding probably 6+months to her training just by this, and it adds so much more complexity and room for errors and new bad habits, overspinning in air, bad non consistent touches etc.. By just using normal default air roll, it will be easier for her, she will be able to focus on one thing, and she will learn faster to get more power on shots both sides, recover faster, move faster on field, and fly proper finally. That is what she needs to focus on to even get to champ. I think it's time to revisit her training a bit, and second thing besides bindings is camera and sensitivity settings. They make huge difference in what you can do in game. For example if I lower sens by 20 and move deadzone up by 0.02 I would not be able to do half of mechanics in controlled way no matter how much I train it doesn't feel right, control is off totally. So experimenting with these on her own in freeplay will help her find what feels the best for her, then when she gets better at mechanics she can tweak these settings to max. Cheers.

Thanks for another great video! Definitely not giving up on her. She'll be better than most of us in no time. I'm curious, do you share the ad-sense income from these videos with Emmie?

You are very good coach how mutch do you take for 1h?

i have airroll on r1 and l1, and i have powerslide on square on ps5 controller. keep up the good word cbell, lets get this man to 1 mil subs by april fools.

me that doesnt have the temper and calmness and acceptance as emmie: she is gonna be grand champ sooner or later

Goat

Don't feel bad . Got hard stuck in diamond... and after over a year of being stuck I went from playing daily to once a week at most . Last 3 seasons started ranked and peaked at diamond and started to lose interest more and more every season getting the same results and now don't even make rank this season

I struggled for so long to boost and jump, (in ps controller) X and O, and when I changed boost from O to R1, I improved a lot and wasn't so hard to get used to it, before that I changed Powerslide/air roll to L1

i feel the majority of people would love for Emmie to succeed in her all time goal. if anything sometimes you do need to go back with the newly learned key bindings, information on how to play or where to be and start grinding again to get the hang of it. i look forward to yet another coaching vid featuring Emmie.

is having one of your air rolls on the same trigger as move backwards bad???

go emmie go!

YES FINNALY IM ABT TO WATCH IT

what controller-binds would you recommend for players who have l1/r1 as their air-roll left/right?
