In real football, a Rainbow Flick is seldom seen. It’s tricky to pull off and requires inch-perfect precision and timing to execute and successfully beat an opponent. Rematch allows you to pull a Rainbow Flick off for fun, and our controls guide makes this move as easy as scoring a tap-in.
Rematch is providing soccer/football fans with a proper alternative. Its format plays closer to a game of Rocket League, but its higher skill level of gameplay means it’s a viable sports title.
Alongside passing, slide tackling, and easy-to-learn goalkeeper mechanics, you can also perform tricks. The highlight is the Rainbow Flick—that you will see 40 times in each match. If you want to contribute to this total, let’s show you how.
How to Perform Rainbow Flick in Rematch
You need to press R1 + X on PlayStation or RB + A on Xbox to nail a Rainbow Flick in Rematch.
Here’s a quick step-by-step on how to pull off a Rainbow Flick in the middle of a match:
- Load into a game of Rematch.
- Wait for someone to pass the ball to you, tackle the ball away from an opponent, or claim a loose ball.
- Make sure the ball is in front of you and close enough to your player so you have full control.
- Now, at the same time, press R1 + X on PlayStation, RB + A on Xbox, or the applicable keybinds on PC.
- If you do this correctly, your player should execute a Rainbow Flick!
When to Use Rainbow Flick Correctly in Rematch
You should use Rainbow Flicks when you think an opponent is about to commit to a tackle or to set up a shot.
Just because you know how to do Rainbow Flicks doesn’t mean you should. When everyone is doing one every three seconds, their effectiveness is reduced, and they’re easier to anticipate. If someone knows you’re about to do a Rainbow Flick, they’ll likely snatch the ball off you with ease.
I’ve found that they work well when you’re chasing a loose ball. If you get there first, and an opponent is hunting you, you can quickly Rainbow Flick it over them before they commit their slide tackle.
Also, Rainbow Flicks are a great way to set up a thunderous volley. This creates some great goals, but it can also leave your opponents second-guessing your next move.
The main tip is to use Rainbow Flicks sparingly!
