What Is Half Flip In Rocket League?

How To Do Half Flip In Rocket League?

This move takes advantage of an interesting mechanic called flip cancelling. When you dodge forwards or backwards, you can hold your analogue stick in the opposite direction to cancel the flip. So, if you hold forward at the exact moment you hit 180° through a backflip, you're facing the opposite way and you can forward. The only problem is, your wheels are now pointing up, so you need to use air roll right/left to rotate the right way up as soon as you cancel - saving yourself from an awkward controller fumble. How to do this? There are actually 2 ways:

1. While driving backwards flip either down left or down right on the thumbstick, then at a certain point in the flip you want to push up on the thumbstick and you'll level out.

2. Backflip, thumbstick forwards so only flip through 180°, a bit of you can, and barrel roll so right-side-up.

How To Use Half Flip To Do Fast Turning Around？

When going back to your goal to defend after an unsuccesful shot or pass, there are three ways to do it well. These are powersliding into your goal, jumping and turning around into you goal, and half flipping.

Powersliding - , driving, or flipping into your goal and powersliding while in the goal is a simple way to get back to defend.

Jumping Into Goal - While driving or towards your goal, jump and turn around while in the air, then backflip. This should turn you around and conserve speed, but gives you little control once you are in the air.

The Half Flip - The half flip is a technique used to turn around while maintaining momentum, and is performed by flipping backwards. Holding forward for the duration of the flip will cause you to be upside down.
