Ordinary flip resets are already incredibly difficult to pull off, but Evample is setting new limits with these double and triple flip resets. Clips of these shots seemed to have come out of nowhere, and the Rocket League community was amazed because of how unique and mechanically challenging these goals are. People wanted to know, who is Evample, and how is he hitting these near impossible shots so consistently?

I had a chance to talk with the 15 year old Australian, and he was happy to share some knowledge about this new mechanic that he seems to have mastered. If you aren’t familiar with Evample, he is a freestyler with over 2000 hours in the game and joined Pulse Clan less than a month ago. He was 8th in the power rankings under the team Weasel Mafia, but recently his focus has been less on competing and more on scoring unique and convoluted goals. He says he will return to the competitive scene, but right now he is growing in popularity, and people want to watch and see what kind of insane shots he will pull off next.

Since there isn’t an official nickname for hitting multiple flip resets concurrently without touching the ground, we’re going to refer to this as the ‘Evample shot’ to make things easier. After all, he was the first player to start going for these, and as of right now no one else is nearly as good at them.

When did you first start practicing these types of shots?

Evample: I’ve been doing regular flip resets ever since I had about 1000 hours in the game. About 3 or 4 months ago I started going for two flip resets in a row to give myself a challenge, and I decided to stick with it and I continued practicing them ever since.

Could you briefly explain how to do this mechanic?

Evample: For the simplest double flip reset, touch all four wheels to the bottom of the ball to get the first flip reset, then stall flip to catch the ball again for the second reset. To stall flip, you must flip to the left and air roll right, which for me is A and E on the keyboard. You can stall flip both directions, but I prefer A and E. Immediately after you stall flip, you must line your car up perfectly for the next flip reset. You can do this by air rolling the opposite way, but you need to do it fast. It always depends on what situation you are in, because not every shot will be the exact same.

Is it possible to do this with a controller or only on keyboard and mouse?

Evample: It is possible on both, but it seems to be much easier on KB/M. I have seen controller players stall flip and score triple flip reset goals, but without all the spinning parts included.

What’s the hardest thing about successfully pulling off one of these goals?

Evample: After you manage to do the flip resets flawlessly, you will still have to line up a good shot on net, which is sometimes the hardest part.

What is the best advice you can give someone trying to learn this move? Is there anything you focus on in particular?

Evample: You will have to perfect the timing of each flip, which will get easier if you spend a lot of time practicing it. If you don’t focus on the timing, you won’t be able to chain multiple flip resets together properly.

Will professional players start implementing this mechanic into their gameplay? Could this become a dependable way to score in RLCS in the future?

Evample: This is a tough one. I already use these shots in 1v1s, and most of the time they are successful because I use them in the correct scenarios. I believe double resets will become a common thing in 1v1 tournaments. When it comes to 2v2s and 3v3s, I think they will be used much less, but they can be deadly when used in the right situation, like how ceiling shots are used now. Flip resets in general should be used way more than they currently are.

Where can people find you if they are interested in watching these shots in action?

Evample: You can follow me at twitch.tv/evample2 if you want to check out my live streams, and I will have a montage coming out soon. Thank you for having me!
