Is there actually anything better than hearing an absolute banger when you score a goal in Rocket League? The feeling you get when the most awesome song in the world announces that you’ve wiped the floor with your opponents once again is simply incomparable to anything. Now let’s face it, Rocket League is filled to the top of its lower lip with bombastic player anthems, just as it is with terrible player anthems. Our EarlyGame Rocket League page is still all about positivity, though, so today we’re taking a look at the top five Rocket League player anthems!
1. All Star (Smash Mouth)
“Somebody once told the world is gonna roll me, I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed. She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an “L” on her forehead.” Any Shrek fans here? | © Psyonix & Dreamworks via change.org
2. Player of Games (Grimes)
Grimes was our Player of the Month for January 2022, why? Because she released some absolute bangers for our entertainment! There is really nothing else to tell from my side. Can you just be happy that it all happened like that. | © Grimes in Player of Games
3. Crab Rave
Crab Rave made its big comeback in Rocket League last year, and we hope it will show up in the Item Shop again this year. Uii, the crab is so sexy, with its claws and dance moves…. what else could you want? It doesn’t get any better than this! | © Noisestorm & Psyonix
4. Montero
Montero (Call Me By Your Name) by Lil Nas X may be a controversial song, but it’s still one of the best gamer anthems. Realtalk, there aren’t many things more impressive than scoring a goal to this hit song. On the occasion of Pride Month celebrations last year, the song came into the game – very nice stuff. Is there anything else to tell? Nope, not really. | © Psyonix
5. Everything from “Behind the Samples”.
We have to give the “Behind the Samples” bundle a little shoutout at this point – this came out February 2022 in celebration of Black History Month. Along with “Amen Brother,” “Funky Worm,” and “You’re Getting A Little Too Smart,” this mixtape brought some of the best gamer anthems ever to Rocket League. Seriously, not only are the festivities themselves really cool, but so is the music! | © Psyonix
Rocket League Explained – Car-football for Dummies
Soccer meets racing. In Rocket League, you go hunting for goals with Turbo. What sounds simple can quickly become complex due to the variety of techniques to control the ball. Here’s your beginner’s guide to getting started as a Rocket League pro, including all the terminology you need to know.
Rocket League is a video game published by Psyonix and belongs to the genre (game category) “sports simulation”. These are games where players can virtually practice a sport. In the case of Rocket League, this is a combination of soccer and racing, played on a futuristic soccer field.
Players compete alone or with up to 3 other players in a team, with the goal of scoring as many goals as possible. The winner is the team that has scored more goals at the end of the time. A round lasts about 5 minutes, but is extended with a golden goal in case of a draw. Unlike in conventional soccer, the players do not control people here, but special cars that drive across the pitch.
Rocket League offers a variety of game modes. From classic car-football to fun game modes with mutators. These are selected before the start of each game. In eSports, only the classic mode without mutators is used.
The Rocket League ABC
In Rocket League, the goal is to master the car, learn special moves, and still keep track of the field. When pros throw around terms like 50/50 or double tab, it’s easy to lose track as a newbie. So that you can shine with your knowledge both in the game and in the stream, we have summarized the most important terms of the Rocket League universe for you here.
50/50 – When two or more players touch the ball at the same time, a kind of press ball is created. The direction in which the ball ultimately flies is random and resembles a 50/50 chance.
Aerial – Unlike classic soccer, Rocket League is not only played on the ground, due to their boost, players can also move in the air for a short time, dribble the ball there or start a shot attempt. As soon as a player leaves the ground he makes aerial actions.
Ballchasing – If a player is chasing the ball all the time and neglects his position, this is called ballchasing.
Boost – To bring the car faster to a higher speed there is boost. The players also use this to fly and steer with the cars.
Demolition – The possibility of demolition shows that Rocket League does not always have to be harmless. Here you drive at high speed through the car of another player and destroy the vehicle. The player is taken out of the game for a short time until respawn and the own team has a higher chance to score a goal.
Double Touch – Double Touch is a term often heard in professional Rocket League streams. This refers to a player scoring a goal by first shooting the ball at the wall next to, or above the opponent’s goal and then sending the rebound towards the goal.
Flick – Controlling the ball is the name of the game in Rocket League. Flicks are shots where the player touches the ball through the dodge mechanic while jumping and shoots with it.
Flip Reset- In Rocket League, each car has a double jump, after which the car must touch the ground with its 4 tires to be able to jump again. Due to the game mechanics, it is also possible to perform this on the ball – the so-called flip reset.
ReDirect – if e.g. player A shoots towards player B and the latter then deflects the direction of the ball e.g. towards the goal, this is called a ReDirect.
Wave Dash – One of the most important techniques in Rocket League is the Wave Dash. By a well-timed flip shortly before you touch the ground, you get a speed boost without performing the flip completely. The technique is mainly used when jumping down walls.
