There are many different mechanics and maneuvers that are very difficult to pull off in the training area let alone in an actual match. One of those insanely difficult maneuvers is called “Ceiling Shot.” This shot has been something that really just came into the Rocket League scene maybe a year ago or so. It’s relatively new but it is so effective. It is no simple thing that can be done with ease, it takes many hours practicing in order for it to be perfected. Even when you have the mechanics down and can read the ball it is now a matter of being consistent. But, how exactly does one be able to do it?
The first thing that you want to do in order to perfect the “Ceiling Shot” is to go to “Free Play” training area so that you are able to navigate around with the ball and warm up. Here is where you will be able to familiarize yourself with your car and be able to learn how to control it for the shot itself.
The first thing you want to do is have your car and drive it up the wall and nothing more. As you keep driving up the wall you will begin to get used to how it feels when you are driving on the wall. By doing this at a constant rate you will see how it will be when you are actually upside down on the ceiling. This is the first step to completing the “Ceiling Shot.”
Once you are used to driving up the wall and are now consistent with it then you can head onto the next step of the shot. This step consist of you driving up the wall, as you previously were doing, but now you go on the ceiling in which you can temporarily drive one until you fall. Now that you are able to do both of those steps together in a continuous pattern then you are ready to move onto the final step of the shot.
The very last part of the “Ceiling Shot” is basically falling from the ceiling, but while you are falling you want to dodge straight into the ball. As you dodge into the ball you want to make sure that you are just a little bit under it because then you will fool your opponent into thinking you can’t hit the ball when in reality you’re actually going to score.
The first time that someone had scored the “Ceiling Shot” during a professional match was really amazing and new. The person who scored this goes by the name “Squishy Muffinz” and he scored it at a very important moment in the game. He really impressed everyone that day and in fact that made everyone want to do the same thing. Ever since that day so many other players have gone onto scoring those type of goals in professional games or just casual games. It was truly wonderful.
