Rocket League help.

Lately I've been getting into matches with players who are a lot better than me apparently.

They're doing things I can't even figure out how to do, like they can do some sort of weird boosting maneuver to get up higher in the air to hit the ball. I can't seem to figure out how to do that which forces me permanently on the defensive where they can get the ball way up in the air and hit it into the goal from angles that are hard to block.

They're doing aerials. You do them by boosting and then jumping while pressing 'S' on your keyboard or pulling down on the left thumbstick of a controller. You'll understand better if you try the Aerial training. It's pretty simple to pull off, but incredibly difficult to master.

I was "beast" when i played using my keyboard, but i enjoy playing with my controller more
