    I was certain you were red Yuri both games. The biggest giveaway for me, as a C3 who has played with plat friends before thus wanted to blend in, is that you would continue to hold a direction with the left stick after an aerial to intentionally bounce off a surface instead of landing smooth. In my experience Plat is the rank where people actually land smoothly for the most part and, like in the Sunless reveal of you being Yuri (the goofy aerial that had Peter Griffin go "Ta-da!") you held forward after the aerial to land weird in the net and then jumped against the side of the net for maximum Plat-ness. Great video overall, CBell!

    My predictions while watching (I was plat 2 months ago):
    Game 1:
    2:23 suspecting Middy on blue team, had some weird touches
    3:00 suspecting Yuri on red team, seems like he purposely didn't recover well and cleared the ball after attempting to control it which is sus
    4:32 Yuri on red team
    6:10 locked on Yuri on red team
    7:07 still think it's Yuri on red team, final guess before time's up
    7:51 (after reveal) yeah I feel like he was trying too hard to show scuffed mechanics and he went for things plats don't go for
    Game 2:
    9:42 Yuri on red team was waiting too much like a higher rank would do but it would be weird if it was red team Yuri twice, also weird touches
    10:17 also watching Rex because of his weird miss
    10:47 another weird miss by Rex on defense, I'll be watching him more
    11:04 I'm with sunless here and think it could be Saltie, idk if a plat wouldn't know how to half flip so I'll watch him too to see if he has any mechanic that someone who doesn't half flip couldn't do
    11:25 weird aerial attempt by Yuri, still a suspect
    12:01 Rex showed some weird airroll a plat would definitely do, eliminated him from my suspects
    12:33 weird miss by Saltie and seems like intentional comms by Cbell...
    12:53 final guess Saltie, but Sunless could also be right about Yuri
    Final conclusion: I agreed with Sunless on his conclusion, overall Cbell didn't blend in too bad, I just think he should show more mechanics in things he wouldn't go for normally, but not to the point of going for an obviously dumb aerial. Happy with my result, guessed one and had the other on my suspects, I feel like the fact that he was the same as in the other game (which sunless didn't know) made me not look at him too much because I thought he wouldn't do that, but he did, so he did good on that one. GG to everyone, I hope to participate when he does it with diamonds and confuse y'all

    What I learned whilst ranking through platinum like 2 years ago was that the players had an idea of what they want to do, how they want to play their play, but aren't capable of doing it. What I mean by this is that they could have clear possession of the ball with no contest, and they'll take the ball up the wall, in order to try and air dribble it, then once that ball is up on the wall, they have no idea what they're doing. Sometimes they could hit the ball, hell, sometimes they could even air dribble the ball down, but it's not consistent, and it's pretty ugly to watch, and easy to block.
    This is also the same rank where scoring a goal isn't enough, said player could have open net, with clear possession of the ball, because the other team double-committed, and rather than boosting the ball into the net, they'll try something "spicy" (well "spicy" for platinum), and they typically end up messing it up, unable to get a goal out of it entirely.

    Red yuri's jumps at 5:38 were a dead giveaway. You can see the tilt down and back up quick like you're about to boost down and tilt back up for the wavedash. Rainmaiker also did a wavedash or two, but it was very simple. low ranks wouldnt ever think to boost down to get to the ground faster before wavedashing lmao. The timing needed is way too precise.

    the attempted wavedashes, and that passback on top of the car at the end of game 1 are what gave it away, we are peaking in plat when we think of that pass. In game 2, didn't know if you switched, but how the flying just looks so weird, with to many decent goals.

    As a plat/low diamond myself, it was easy for me to pick out! You could tell your play style was slower and positioning was too good. (Look at Leth's Road to SSL, he super slow, almost no mechanics, but positioning alone takes him to champ)
    The mechanics were pretty spot on though, but you were always in a good position and not playing as chaotically as I and others in that rank do. You were always set correctly to botch it correctly. You just need to be more dumb and dive for things that are unreachable and you'll fool everyone! Mechanics look great, but you're instinct is too smart for that rank at this point.

    I love that someone obviously not Plat was ~also~ in the lobby doing flip resets because if CBell didn't get into a Plat lobby like that it just wouldn't be a good representation of what it's like playing in Plat. Half of the players actually playing in that match weren't really the rank the game says they are and that is the most Plat thing ever.
    Also, I believe Diamond is where people start to over air roll, not Plat. Plats are super excited to jump for every ball every time no matter what, including and almost PARTICULARLY in the case of their own teammates already in the air going for it, but they are a little afraid of air rolling to bother trying it. It took me a long time going through Diamond to figure out that people were air rolling a ton because they didn't know what they were doing, not because they knew something I didn't. Now in Champ it feels generally people have a good sense of their air rolling - of course there's exceptions because I feel like the identifying factor to Champ is that every individual player always has one glaring weakness and that could be their control of air roll while being reasonably proficient at everything else.

    @jaytrox4599 Рік тому +1

    I sniffed you out both times.
    First game i saw the demo rotation, which seemed too well executed and part of a routine you would easily forget about hiding in game as well as slow but precise ball touches on the ground. Briefly considered the meta aspect of not showing blue yuri to throw us off tho, but i ultimately would have said red yuri.
    Game 2 was definitely tougher and i cant fully say what made you sus.
    But there was this moment where you first horribly fail an aerial shot on the enemy goal, then "own goal" later on, doing a very similar aerial perfectly, even slightly correcting mid air in a way that caught my attention.
    And in both games, overall recoveries, especially small ones on the ground. Hard to shake those off, especially when youre not actively paying attention to those micro movements

And, they have no vision of other players on the field, only ball. You have to develop selective blindness to be plat.

    I'm locking yuri when he was thinking to half flip then stopped to avoid getting caught.

    I hit champ a few months ago but lowkey wish I was back in platinum. Then again, pretty much the same thing.

    If you do this for champ, its so easy to blend in. Just do your normal mechs but overcommit and shoot slightly off target

      Getting smurfed on once every 10 or so games made me quit RL. Glad this YT creator loves the game so much he wanted to help players quit.
