If everyone at higher ranks has it figured out what’s the point? Like I can understand when someone doesn’t do it but what’s the difference than doing a normal one if people have it down to a science

    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
