Woah man, i remember watching your original video on this maybe a year ago, and trying it for myself. It really changed the way i thought about car control. Once the muscle memory is ingrained, its easy to forget how hard it was at first. Good stuff my man. And for everyone whos frustrated as hell, it will click eventually, no matter how far away you think you are
“Don’t worry, it’s harder than it looks” Well I’m worried because it looks very hard. Great videos! I’ve been using your method for a few days and have seen massive improvements.
@@magicdavvlan After doing these exercises for a few weeks I started using it in free play on different mechanics and now I use it mostly in games in stead of normal air roll. So it's nice to see the practical use of the mechanic. I still struggle a lot on rings maps though so definitely not close to mastering it.
I thought I could air roll pretty well, used it in game, was learning to flip reset with it etc. But this, (and the original video) substantially leveled up my air roll. I've dropped at least 10 minutes off my neon heights time and can feel that I can make adjustments significantly faster (i.e. adjusting right, left, etc from arbitrary car positions)
The timing of this video is so perfect haha i just discovered your method video and started doing the exercises but I thought it was missing how we should put all of this in practice, how each of the techniques can help direct the car a certain way and how to mix them all, so thanks for this new one its so much clear now!
Hi! Great video, it might include just what I needed to hear and see :) I've never used DAR until I saw your huge tutorial, I watched it and decided to try it out. I learnt clocks, basic turning (up right, down right), a bit of locking and clocking and then... I got overwhelmed/frustrated :') I either went too fast, trying to learn all the adjustments at once, or the whole concept seemed too difficult. I thought that as soon as you learnt clocks - all you do is clock, after clock, adding more and more adjustments - that seemed too much. However, one thing that I felt was easy - were simple up and down joystick movements, while watching the car's nose. I then went and tried completing rings map using up and down only - that felt okay, I tried to match the tempo and whatnot. And there was my biggest hurdle. I didn't understand how to go from those simple ups and downs to your method (clocks, etc.) What you showed in this video is crucial for me - you start from those basic up and downs, THEN you add clocks where it's safe, THEN you add more. You also explicitly mentioned that using clocks all the time ISN'T how you actually fly, but rather a great exercise - just what I needed to hear. I'll make sure to give it a try as soon as possible. Thank you for your work, Losfeld, your community loves you. Good? Gut.
Hey man, thanks for your comment. I am glad this video could enlighten the practice one needs after having watch the thesis. Yes, indeed, it's quite simple on a rings map : you do all the exercices the same way, but you just try to do them when it feels safe. Then repetition takes its toll and you feel safer and safer, and then, through repetition, it becomes muscle memory ! Indeed, lock and clock is NOT how one flies. But I strongly believe that it's a good exercice. It shows a lot about your management of tempo and rythm, which in the end, IS WHAT DAR IS ALL ABOUT. Thanks for the comment :) Good ? Good.
Thanks for your efforts in putting this together. Should save plenty of new players a lot of time. I went through hundreds of hours of learning DAR. Then hundreds of hours relearning it because i followed bad advice on youtube early in my RL career.
Hey Losfeld, thanks for sharing all this knowledge, it helped me a lot, would you do a video applying it to air dribbles or in-game mechanics? Thank you for everything!
No words for your efforts, really appreciate it. It helped me massively. I'm now at this part of half reverse clocks and its really akward.. But i will understand it with practice. Btw finished rings in 23min after 2 weeks of your method. Really thanks for help. I have only one request, if you can make tutorial for flip reset i would be really helpful cause now my appetite is growing. Thanks a lot for everything
Thank you for your comment, it does mean a lot :) Finishing any rings map in two weeks is awesome, even more in 23 min, congrats! Now push yourself to go as fast as you can, that'll make you work on half reverse clocks ! You know what, I won't do the usual reset tutorial, but I'll make one with a piece of information nobody ever tells ;) Keep it real !
@@LosfeldRL thanks, all cause of your method, still not horizontally moving through rings plenty but in free practice already feeling amazingly better car and ball control. After your 2hr video i got motivated and just started (muscle memory/human body is crazy)
I can´t fly for a long distance yet (while being concious about where i wanna go) but your knowledge helped me to do some wall to air dribbles using DAR. I personally like the concept of following a ball or getting to it while using the excersises because i am very impatient and wanna use it while playing with friends. It will probably take me a little longer but I don´t like spending that much time on training.
The ultimate warm up training pack’s first ball is a lob and it’s in the air. It’s how I started to learn to get into the air. I can now consistently get it in one try
Have you explored rhythmic thumbstick things with powerslide for ground play? After practicing the method for a while in the air, I noticed that I was incorporating some aspects of it into advanced powerslide movements. Powerslide and general ground mechs were the previous rabbit hole I went into before the method, so I was excited to have something new to me in that realm.
One fun exercise I would suggest people try to see what I'm talking about is after becoming comfortable with powerslide 360s fast, try going in freeplay and feathering all ground inputs (gas, break/reverse, powerslide, boost) to get different kinds of drift movements like really wide figure 8s or tight spins all over the map including the wall THEN try consciously finding rhythms of spinning the stick (or going back and forth) while holding powerslide for some possibly interesting results.
I started using this method but ended up abandoning it at the lock and clock and reverse clock stage. Now I am able to use air roll continuously with micro adjustments. However, I still have not been able to transition to using air roll during my actual game play. I can't get the touches I want and I generally feel quite awkward at game speed. Can you make any videos about training air roll while on the ball or going for shots?
I mean, the better you are at air roll, the easier it's gonna be to translate it to the ball. I don't see what a video could bring more, because in the end, it's all about car control. The reason you can't touche the ball is because you only have micro adjustments. That's what people don't get ; DAR isn't just about MICRO adjusments. That's why we use reverse and half reverse clocks... You should have joined my discord before abandoning it, we could have maybe helped
Do I have to only use up and down inputs for the first exercise and the second one where I’m adding the clocks in? Because I can do the rings map I even beat it (with many deaths) but I also use side ways inputs, not just up and down.
@@lnewsome8426 Up and down, exercise 2, is the basics, to strafe on a neutral revolution. They make you turn more than left and right, but make you turn less than reverse clocks
@@LosfeldRLthanks for your reply, I can do it with only up and down and that’s how I started, but sometimes I like to make diagonal inputs to stabilize my car. Should I just stick to up and down or can I do those too while practicing?
@@lnewsome8426 up a d down is just the basics Reverse clocks is what you're gonna do 80% of the time But in the end, I just try to give you good tools, I won't forbid you to do anything that helps you man :)
Don’t think I would have learned DAR without the Losfeld method. I’d love some more detailed tutorial on translating the Losfeld method to ball control. I’m solid on rings but having trouble using DAR well in matches
Glad I could get you to learn it ;) Ball control depends on car control. I don't really know what more detail I could make a video out of. It's very simple : the more car control you have, the easier it'll be to translate it to ball control ! If you're solid on rings, here's a training plan, just for you : -Redirect Training packs (even if the name isn't "redirect", there are many training packs that does passes to you) -Wall to air training packs -Special training pack : "The floor is lava". Do the level where you are in front of the ball and the goal. Try to ground to air dribble it. Redirects are mostly what's gonna help you first, as there is no setup to do (only a good takeoff). Those should help you put in practice what you've done in rings. Btw, being good at rings means being able to change from vertical to horizontal, and knowing how to fly both ways (which are essentially the same, but on a different plane! ). Because for a redirect, you mostly want to fly towards the ball horizontally ! Hope that helps a bit !
What’s the reason for using clocks and reverse clocks, that’s the only part I’m having trouble understanding since it seems like it would make it harder and you seem to be able to control your car just using up and down. Does it allow you to just have even more control of your car after mastering the up and down part?
@@wyattwimberly2144 Clocks and reverse clocks have nothing to do with each other. Clocks are a feedback loop that allows you to have an additional perception of your car in the air ; they are not necessary, but we all use them. Reverse clocks are a continuation of exercice 2 (up and down) and are the more advanced way to fly.
Hello, first of all thank you very much, I suppose it is your job and you make money with this but you also took the trouble to really try to explain how to really understand it instead of just making money like other RUclipsrs. I started this week and like some comments I still don't understand how to fly continuously. In this video you say that it is not constantly doing clocks, so how do I chain everything? I hope to understand it soon because it frustrates me too much.
Losfield, do you recommend hovering and using pass ball for us console players, also what about random flying in out of bounds training packs? Do you recommend us to make a dakkar style route?
@@LosfeldRL honestly the biggest reason I wanna quit is because of this tbh. Im getting pretty exhausted having no trackable progress, or even fun learning 🤷♀️ I had alot of fun without Airroll maybe I can go back to that. The skate surfers and vert skaters had a lot of fun before the flatground Ollie, idk man, I'm tired.
@@CaitofFate I'm sorry, I don't know what to say. Psyonix doesn't give a fuck about you if you're console. Which means, when you try to learn smt like DAR, you have bad tools. It's like trying to build a house with hay and glue. You can, but it's gonna take longer and the result won't be as good as a house made out of wood and concrete.
@@LosfeldRL real as hell, I think I'm gonna uninstall and just keep watching, until I can MAYBE afford a discounted, refurbished pc and slap enough parts together to get back on rl
@@LosfeldRL sorry, what I meant is which better to focus on, like what used more often, I feel like normal clock easier to learn but harder for hard turns, while counter clock harder to learn cuz like you said the car goes to left or right immediately and sharply if not done at the right speed, but def better for hard turn, was thinking if I only try to learn counter clock and only use it
Just in case anyone else wants the training plan at the end to copy and paste like I did to keep in notes, here you go: Training plan: 1. Do the freeplay exercises 2. When you feel confident with Exercise 2, you can start doing an easy ringsmap (Neon Height Rings for example) 3. When you feel comfortable with exo 2 on rings map, start incorporating clocks when you feel safe 4. The safer you feel, the more you use clocks 5. Lock and clock all the way through many levels 6. Start incorporating half reverse clocks for sharp turns and slowing down/speeding up 7. Train and have fun until you master it
Am I mad... He goes from talking about doing something in Free Play to saying, "Once you feel comfortable with exercise number 2..."? What was exercise number 1 that we are supposed to do in Freeplay? I'm not trying to be cheeky, I legitimately want to learn how to do this and I want to make sure I'm not skipping steps. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out here.
Hi, no one answered, but I hope you are still interested in learning this method. First exercise - Tornado spin into reverse tornado spin at each revolution. If you are a left air roll user - once the revolution began - hold right on the joystick to do the tornado spin. As soon as the first revolution finished and your car is in the neutral position (hood facing you) - hold left on the joystick to do a reverse tornado spin. One revolution - full right, next revolution - full left, full right, full left, while holding air roll, obviously. This exercise teaches you the tempo with which your car rotates.
