What is a Fast Aerial?

  • The Fast Aerial is an Aerial move which pushes you faster into the air, utilizing a boost to launch you off the ground at great speed.
  • The Fast Aerial relies on your second jump, which gives you a critical upwards leap.
  • It can be tricky to pull off, but once mastered, the Fast Aerial is the best way to become a Rocket League pro.

  • When you're on the ground, hold your left stick down.
  • Now, press jump and boost at the same time, which will pull you up much faster than a standard Aerial.
  • Release the stick when your nose looks up, or you will do a backflip.
  • Immediately after releasing the stick, press jump and boost again.
  • Keep boosting and you will hit the ceiling in no time at all.

As usual, the most important thing with the Fast Aerial is practice. Well, practice and releasing the stick at the right moment.
