7:57 Flip Resets were an unintentional byproduct of an update in february 2016. I think it would be interesting to here more of the backstory behind this. Its such a pivotal piece of the game now and it would be neat to get some of the backstory of what was included in that game that cased this.
I talk about it a little more in my Rocket League History video: ruclips.net/video/9kpiJDAoROI/видео.html (jump to 8:34 if you want to get to that part)
Rocket League released on Xbox on February 2016. The 20xx did not come out until March 2017, over a year later. So my statement is accurate. Also, while some people adopted the 20xx as the new currency the Heatwave still continued to be a staple right up until currency trading was added.
The wing topper mentioned around 5:11 isn’t actually the only topper that interacts with the cars movements, the ghostbusters topper (the fat green ghost) also has the same affect when being used :)
4:14 Could someone look into this and find out what would happen if you have something covering up the kick off locations as well..? My estimates are the car will start spawning at the opposing side, or not respawn until one is open.
I think it would just not spawn in until the car in the kick off location moves. Just like what would happen in 4v4 heatseeker, the cars will not spawn until the teammate moves off of the spawn location. (This is useless information but oh well lmao)
One thing I recently discovered is that the ball makes a noise as it rolls. That maybe obvious to some, but I first noticed it while clowning around in free play. It's a heavy almost grinding noise, like a big rolling boulder.
An og Xbox rocket league player here.. We also used crates as a sort of currency before keys became tradable. I remember using heatwaves but crates was more used. But I didn’t trade that much so I might be wrong.
9:19 Oh man, that reminded me about when they changed the pvp ranks to fruits and vegetables for april fools day (i dont remember what year it was tho) hahahhahha
When you mentioned monolithic human figures hidden around the map at 2:37 I remembered when I was flying around in salty shores and went over the mountains to the right of the light house I found the rock with the face at the time I was confused why it was there but now I know
Interesting vid! 😆 But even though, all the info was useless, it can still be divided into facts you knew, facts you didnt know, interesting facts and funny facts about Rocket Sledge. Over-all, nice video! 😉
Fantastic video. So many things I've forgotten, so many things I never knew. I personally like you can see Manfield from Beckwith.. or the sunken ship is a nod to SRPBC. Great job! :)
That’s so funny that you found Mumbo Jumbo’s vid lol. I watch the Hermitcraft gang and I watch rocket league vids, kinda cool how they’re at least connected through a video.
"But there you have it, ten minutes and you learned absolutely nothing... Well, nothing of value anyways." I feel like I just forgot everything I knew about Rocket League in my confusion... Lol
This map *might* be part of the SARBC theme'd Rocket Labs stuff they announced but I'm not too sure. I think it was regarded as the worst map of that game.
9:30 I found that out on my own when I did that. If I ever get a chance to play with my friends I will tell them they can't score a single goal on me if they tried. I wonder what will happen when they try to prove me wrong.
1:40 wasn't there a different medium palette between the two? I remember when they made it larger but I started in December 2016 and I remember always having green so I don't think I had that tiny palette. I'm confused
Sept 2016 was when the first color additions came in if I remember correctly. Green arrived at that time. I'd have to go back to my own History video to check exact dates though lol. I think in total we have had 3 color updates?
I'm a caster for SAM and I regularly use the bug that Introduced flip resets to explain why the mechanic exist to new players over different tournaments. It's by far the more interesting fact of the video as long as the removal of non standard maps :P
I wouldnt personally call it a bug. The ability to keep your dodge without jumping was intentional, the shots and mechanics that resulted were unforeseen though.
@@Rocket_Sledge IIRC it was introduced when they tried the new point system. People were exploiting the conditions on snow day to get a massive amounts of points by standing on top of the puck. Psyonix made a hot fix that rendered impossible to get points while on contact, but as a side efect people noticed the puck now acted as a platform that gave back their flip, soon after that came the first recorded instance of flip reset. When Neo Tokyo was introduced yes, they showcased the ability to conserve the flip timer if you launched of a slope that was pretty much intended i agree, but the flip reset as a mechanic i don't think so
@@Hdx64 This is the first I've heard of a theory like this but I would personally disagree based on the time line: XP removed from private matches in June 2018. Points per touch were not added until December 2018. Up until then points were only given for actual events (clear, center, etc) And the first documented use of a Flip Reset is in June 2016. If you've got a dev post that shows something I'm missing I'd like to see it though as I've always understood them to be a part of the Rocket Labs update.
@@Rocket_Sledge You are right! i managed to track down even an earlier instance done by Fyshokid ruclips.net/video/MAcFB_dVS4Q/видео.html&ab_channel=Fyshokid It seems i'm confusing it with the patch that took away flip stalls, my bad

Fun fact I’ve been playing since 2016, but only have the EST 2017, 2019, and so on but no 2016. When I decided to start playing again after free to play, I had a replay saved from 2016. But it disappeared after free play launched…

My estimates are the car will start spawning at the opposing side, or not respawn until one is open.
I believe it does start using other team spawns.

Yea crates were like the "coins". They didn't have much value or didn't hold their value for long though.
I love how sledge and Mumbo are sharing ideas, mumbo is amazing

well, the last one was smooth. Guess I'll be supporting you on the epic store
8:14 kinda running out of ideas 😂😂
Actually if you watch the minecraft version of this video I did take his spin on it and apply it to RL. It's supposed to be this useless. LOL.
3:35 The Dark Knight Batmobile also has 6 wheels, 2 in the front and 4 in the back. It's hard to notice unless you have the car.
Dang I saw mumbo's like a week ago and now yours🤣🤣🤣 nice video, I had no idea there was 8450 ideas!!!
its weird seeing my world combine. the spoon in a rocket sledge video. crazy
Thank you so much! This will help me so little in game!
P.S. I’ve watched all the McConnell videos about useless info
Me 7 minutes into the video, “OMG this video is useless!” Me realizing after clicking away that that was what I wanted to watch
Jokes in you, this information is the stuff I love to learn about
RocketSledge provided courtesy of RocketSledge 😂
10:24 I think I was one of the few people who first noticed the demo bug and psyonix devs had no clue what I was talking about
Well, now i'm going to go back and do something useful again, to recover the most fun (and useless, like, very very useless) 10 minutes of my day.
When you mentioned monolithic human figures hidden around the map at 2:37 I remembered when I was flying around in salty shores and went over the mountains to the right of the light house I found the rock with the face at the time I was confused why it was there but now I know

You can also get a moai Easter egg antenna by doing a secret combination in the loading screen.
up,up,down,down,left,right, then enter
No longer works for new players. Might be possible with legacy players, but I haven't tested.
@@Rocket_Sledge bruh
9:06 One thing I feel most people overlooked on April Fool's is that the "Little Elephant" topper remained SUPER tiny. xD
really?
Fantastic video. So many things I've forgotten, so many things I never knew. I personally like you can see Manfield from Beckwith.. or the sunken ship is a nod to SRPBC. Great job! :)
7:18 the "Merc" has a pretty interesting antenna location as well.
5:09 WORNG THE SLIMER TOPPER DOES THAT TOO
"No segues" this whole video was a segue to him plugging his creator code lmao

this is probably one of the best rocket league videos i have ever seen. Good One Rocket Sledge
3:39 What about the batmobile tumbler?
That’s so funny that you found Mumbo Jumbo’s vid lol. I watch the Hermitcraft gang and I watch rocket league vids, kinda cool how they’re at least connected through a video.

Have u tried school, it's the same except it takes way longer.
And its not interesting
@@lebozojamessimp1610 summed up perfectky
summed up perfectly
No such thing as useless knowledge 😏
Ironically, this 10 minutes of "useless" information has given me purpose. Thank you Sledge.
I'm always here for you and I believe in you.
6:52 this map is possibly coming back, I remember watching Jon play this map years ago someone remade it on workshop.
This map *might* be part of the SARBC theme'd Rocket Labs stuff they announced but I'm not too sure. I think it was regarded as the worst map of that game.
Keep up the good work! Love the videos! Love the streams! Great video! This useless information helped me a lot lol
3:03 the amount of times I’ve pointed this out to people. It bugs me so much
im dead 😂 when you started talking about the subscribers 😂 pure gold
the fact that i saw Mumbo's video about the 10 mins of useless info in the first 5 seconds of it coming out makes it hilarious
5:04 there actually is another topper that does this. It’s the slimer topper from the ghostbusters event
following u from italy, when i heard 8:31 i almost had an heart attack for the pronunciation
I even asked a trader friend the best way to pronounce it. I went with the two common ways....was I close?
9:30
I found that out on my own when I did that. If I ever get a chance to play with my friends I will tell them they can't score a single goal on me if they tried. I wonder what will happen when they try to prove me wrong.
I am surprised this aint the most popular video in rocket league history yet

9:30 it is possible to score like that you need the green Archer power up and pinch it in the hoop
So I think the boost number used to round up, and now it can either round down or up, otherwise, we couldn’t have 12*5=59
Because the first four 12s have to be rounded up for the later round down to be possible.
I love that you come straight out of the gate giving credit for where the video idea came from...
