Flicks are the bread and butter of Rocket League. Whether you want to score goals from afar or outplay the opponent team to line up a shot, flicks are the most common and versatile form of offense. However, performing them is easier said than done. Some flicks are basic enough. They require you to air roll and shoot simply. However, there are others, such as the notoriously difficult Turtle Flick or 180-degree backflip flicks, that will have you bending over backwards.

Rocket League is filled with dozens of tricks like these. This list showcases some of the craziest flicks from Rocket League and ranks them in order of how difficult they are to execute correctly during a game. The information ahead will break down the most ridiculous tricks the game has to offer and help you expand your skillset. So, here is a rundown of the toughest flicks in Rocket League, starting from the most impossible ones to pull off first.

Windmill Flick – Difficulty: Impossible

You'd need a miracle to score a goal with this one. The Windmill Flick looks absolutely beautiful but performing one perfectly is a nightmare. This trick starts by initiating a Musty and canceling it halfway. At the same time, you air roll to one side and push the direction stick to one of the upper corners. If performed correctly, your car will tap the ball in a windmill-like circular motion.

But this is where things get complicated. Just doing the motion once isn't enough. To do a proper Windmill Flick, you need to repeat the windmill motion several times, and only then will you lead the ball into the goal. Overall, the Windmill Flick is a punishing skill to learn. But the bragging rights you get for mastering include being acknowledged as one of the best Rocket League players.

Breezi Flick – Difficulty: Very Tough

The Breezi Flick’s difficulty lies in its technique. Think of the Breezi Flick not as a single flick, but rather a combination of flicks. The initial setup for the Breezi Flick has you air roll your car in one direction while moving the car itself in the other. This is followed by a brief pause where you wait until the nose of your car points to the ground. That's your cue to then do a Musty by pulling back on the direction stick and tapping jump. For a step-by-step breakdown of how to do a Breezi Flick, you can refer to this detailed guide.

The timing, the direction of your vehicle, and the momentum, you need to nail all three to execute a flawless Breezi. This is definitely among Rocket League's toughest flicks. Naturally, you should learn to do a Musty Flick first and perfect your air rolls while you're at it. When you're regularly scoring with the Musty, that's a good time to lean into the advanced Breezi Flick.

180 Degree Backflip Flick – Difficulty: Tough

What's so difficult about the 180 Degree Backflip Flick is the timing. You need to jump in the air and rotate your car exactly 180 degrees to line the shot. That said, in Rocket League’s 3v3s or quads, that's a tough job since multiple people are battling for control of the ball.

However, if you do manage to do a 180 and hit the backflip, your car will slam into the ball, launching it straight ahead. The 180 Degree Backflip Flick is a bit tricky to nail. But become consistent enough with it, and it'll open many opportunities for you to score from faraway angles.

Suffo Flick – Difficulty: Tough

Another crazy shot to catch opponents off-guard is the Suffo Flick. The way this flick works is by fake flicking away from the ball and then back flipping diagonally into the ball. After you dribble the ball on your car's hood, you jump away from the ball, and then quickly backflip right into it, hitting the ball at a diagonal angle. At first, it feels like you're totally going to miss the shot. However, the momentum generated by diagonally flipping into the ball right after jumping away is really strong, and you'll land a clean shot ahead.

The Suffo Flick is one of the coolest maneuvers in Rocket League, primarily because of how it dupes opponents into believing you've made a mistake. Flipping away from the ball catches opponents by surprise, and you'll usually always have a clear path ahead to score. That said, the Suffo Flick’s tricky timing with the diagonal back flip makes it hard to execute during games. Especially so when playing teams of threes or fours. It's a trick better suited to duos because of that.

45 Degree Flick – Difficulty: Tough

Another flick that's really a game-changer is the 45 Degree Flick. Even if you're far away from the goal, not at the right angle to score, or surrounded by opponents, this Flick sends the ball flying towards the goal from every distance. The setup for this flick is simple, too, albeit you need to be quick with your button presses.

To perform the 45 Degree Flick, you need to dribble the ball on your car's windshield at one side. Either keep the ball a little left or right, not at the complete centre. Let's say you are dribbling the ball a little to the right. You now have to jump, move your car's nose 45 degrees to the left, and then air roll right so your car's hood is leaning into the ball.

You then perform a backflip, sending the ball sky high at the goal. A tough yet possible Rocket League flick if you have quick fingers. Here's a more detailed breakdown of this flick if you need a step-by-step guide.

Turtle Flick – Difficulty: Easy

Now, if you're having trouble consistently pulling off a Suffo, maybe think about mastering something like the Turtle Flick first. During a Turtle Flick, you turn your car upside down and then shoot the ball by pressing the jump button. When you are near the goal, start dribbling the ball.

Afterwards, jump and air roll until your car is upside down. Let your momentum keep pushing you forward, and when the shot feels right, press jump again while aiming towards the ball, and you'll shoot it ahead.

The Turtle Flick requires only a couple of inputs, so it's a basic flick trick. It also doesn't generate near enough force to score from farther away, which means its best use is when you're super close to the goal. Be that as it may, the Turtle Flick looks incredible, and scoring with one will get you tons of aura points in ranked.

Classy Flick – Difficulty: Easy

Another one of the doable flicks you should practice in your early Rocket League days is the Classy Flick. This flick begins with you dribbling the ball. Then add a jump to the movement and air roll towards either the left or right. As soon as your car is bottom-side up, let go of the air roll button and perform a backflip.

The Classy Flick is another flick best for Rocket League beginners. It only involves a limited number of movements, and that's why many new players find it so easy to learn.

Slingshot – Difficulty: Easy

The Slingshot is similar to the 45 and 180-degree flicks. The only difference here is that there is neither an air roll involved nor a full 180 turn. Instead, you only have to turn your car at a 90-degree angle. Cancelling the flick by jumping at this point flings the ball firmly in front.

Because of the lack of any air roll rotation or complex movements, the Slingshot Flick is very easy to grasp. It's another trick you should pick up first, especially before learning either of the difficult 45 and 180-degree flicks.

Musty Flick – Difficulty: Easy

As mentioned before under the Breezi Flick, a Musty Flick requires you to jump and dodge to hit the ball. You start by jumping and tilting the car downward. Just when the car’s nose points downwards, you pull the directional stick backwards and dodge. This flicks your car's nose sharply upwards towards the ball, hitting it directly ahead in the process.

You could say the Musty is an upgraded version of your basic Rocket League Front Flick. Though it's a bit modifiable since you can delay your flick to generate more power or flick early to score from close to the goal. The Musty is easy to utilize in plays, and some of your earliest goals will be made using this trick. All in all, it's a handy skill to have since it's versatile and not as technical as all the other flicks. And better yet, here are some tips by Stizzy on mastering the Musty.

Front Flick – Difficulty: Very Easy

The Front Flick, on the other hand, is the easiest flick to perform in Rocket League. It's one of the first and earliest flicks you'll ever learn. Unlike the complicated Breezi or Musty, the Front Flick only requires you to dribble the ball straight ahead, jump, wait a fraction of a second, and jump again while holding the direction stick upwards. Flicking too early will not generate enough force. Flick too late, and you'll miss the ball. It's a rather simple skill with predictable drawbacks.
Basically, consider the Front Flick as the first stepping stone on your way to mastering the impossible level flicks mentioned above. It's among the easiest flicks you can develop a reflex for and use in any situation. If all the tricks mentioned in this list have overwhelmed you and you don't know where to start, then the Front Flick is your best friend to becoming a Rocket League legend.
