1s tips

general 1s tips from a gc1 2s c1 1s player. i tell people to "just play 1s" to help them rank up sometimes but heres what ive noticed that sets low ranked 1s players from higher ranked 1s players:

• do not panic on 0 boost, namely dont flip around in net like a fish out of water cause ur scared. play 50s until you can get boost, and make use of small pads
• following up from that, do not be a boostaholic. learn to play pads and to be decisive in low boost situations.
• never waste all your boost on a play. have a little left so you can gain speed and recover.
• on defense think about how you are going to recover. opponents in higher ranks will try to put you in awkward positions to give themselves a free net.
• wall plays are high risk/high reward. do NOT go for them unless you are certain you can capitalize on them. and do not under any circumstance try to do full field mechs.
• following my last point up, stay grounded, namely flicks, powershots, and powerslide cuts. if ur more advanced, you can do air dribble bumps. those are generally low risk/high reward, but be careful still.
• this is obvious, but there are no tm8s in 1s. it will teach you to be accountable for ur mistakes. make sure you work on defense so that you dont give up careless goals or give up opportunities on offense you couldve scored.
• when you shadow defend, create some space between you and the opponent. do not let it get too close to your net- be a good judge of distance and be quick and efficient when you challenge. if they flick high and fast instantly fast aerial to the ball and land on the wall so you can recover.

those are some i thought of. lmk if you want to see a part 2 or if you want tips on 2s and/or 3s.
