This article will discuss 5 awesome facts you probably do not know about in Rocket League.

1.Where did the rank Super Sonic Legend come from?

Super Sonic Legend was named after a term in Rocket League that not many people know about. When you move at top speed, the term used to describe this is \\\'Super Sonic\\\'.

2. A simple tip to save boost

Following on from travelling at Super Sonic. When you are moving at Super Sonic speed in a straight line, you should no longer press your boost button as you cannot go any faster. This is a common mistake many players do to waste boost unnecessarily. We advise you to test it in free play first. Time yourself how long it takes to get from one side of the field to the other. First, hold the boost button down the whole way. Then hold the boost button only until you reach Super Sonic speed then stop pressing the button. If done correctly, you will get to the other side of the pitch at the same time!

3. The Scarab has the same hitbox as the Octane

Yes, you read it correctly! The scarab has an identical hitbox as the Octane and the Fennec so why is it deemed terrible to use within the community? Many people put it down to its psychological factors due to its unusual look. 

4. How much did Epic Games purchase Rocket League for? 

Many people know Epic Games purchased Rocket League in 2019 but how much for? The fee was undisclosed but according to TheSportsRush, the fee was around 0-300 million. Ouch! 

5. Neo Tokyo was once the most hated map in Rocket League 

There used to be other maps in ranked matches compared to the standard ones nowadays. For example, Neo Tokyo used to have 2 higher levels on either side just like it is in Rumble. However, this didn\\\'t go down well with the community so Pysonix quickly made the map all flat. As well as Neo Tokyo, Starbase arc also  used to be an octagon shape rather than your usual rectangular pitch. This quickly got removed too.
