    Im at this rank for a quite some time, and here are the interesting things i noticed in this series of videos:
    1. You dont flip when its not needed
    2. Your usage of 50s is so good, you keep control of the ball in a lot of situations when i wouldve lost it;
    3. You are very patient, and combined with ability to get favorable 50s it lets you keep good control of the game in general, not overcommit and prevent dangerous situations from happening.
    So these subtle things actually make a huge difference, i'll try to implement it in my gameplay, thank you

  • @capest2831
    @capest2831 3 місяці тому +93

    I feel like that kind of video is a big trap for those who are trying to learn, because it makes things that are very difficult sound easy. Sure, doing a front flip is easy, doing a simple aerial with no air roll is easy. But all this is really not enough without
    * the backboard save at 1:53, which is clearly not easy to a D2 player, where on top of actually getting a touch on the ball, you get it on the side of the car for the ball to fly high past the net, followed by a really good air-roll based recovery.
    * The challenge with a single jump at 1:59 is great.. provided you can perfectly wave dash to recover. Otherwise, the time loss is monstrous considering the car position and this is just giving back the ball to the opponent
    * The chip at 2:04 is genius (although technically hard to time for a D2 player) but should be a pass at that level. Jumping *instantly* for the follow up and outspeeding the opponents is not D2-level, and will just result in a bad double commit, potentially leading to a goal for the opponents oncounter attack, in such a lobby
    *perfectly executed wave dash kickoff at 2:26: I am in c2-c3 lobbies and I don t see players doing wave dash kickoffs remotely as good. The problem is not the speed flip, it s the perfection of execution of both speed flip and wave dash, that is clearlynot reachable for most D players (or C players even).
    * casual speed flip into zap dash at 2:30, increasing momentum without any boost and making "being fast" look easy while it is very hard in that position. Most people would be much slower to get boost/get around the field without the zap dash and would not have the same point of view on what follows, resulting in a wanky/maybe failed save at 2:33
    *The perfect wall read at 2:36, confident enough to single jump in order to shoot the ball at net perfectly, is I think very hard for a D2.
    This whole gameplay sequence is not just "two basic front flips" executed with consistency. It s a display of GC-SSL ground/recovery mechanics, that together with a great vision of the play and an ability to read both the opponents and wall bounces( hard for any player I d say) lead to outplaying the opponent by a hair to score a perfect shot, which is itself as well a display of GC-SSL mechanics, but applied to a simple situation/aerial. And all of this is only the first 47 seconds of the game. All that to say: if you think airroll should not be necessary at that rank, then you could try to unbind it so that "accidental" perfect recoveries using it don't happen. Also, not wave-dashing, zap-dashing, or doing perfect backboard touches might help simulate more relatable gaming conditions. It's like a "basic shadow-defense on a shot": the aerial itself is not hard, but reading the ball and the camera to get it right is very hard, and just reducing it to "it is a basic aerial that everyone can do" is just sweeping all the issues under the carpet.

      @@IAmProcrastinating Exactly! Flakes is probably the exception to that, as he *actually* shows relatable gameplay and does not go for shots that would require to be better - but his shadowing abilities, prejumps and his sense of timing on powerslide cuts are still a little too unrealistic. Leth also does a pretty good job at not being too mechanical, but I think Leth' s issue is that he'll try not to lose a little too much and ends up saving crazy shtuff as well. Really hard to find "good pro-made material" to improve. If things come to that, it's probably more instructional to have them play "at their level" and own the smurfing instead of pretending that anyone can just replicate it.

      @Theprinceofopposites 3 місяці тому +7

      @@capest2831 well said on all points. This kind of game play just isn't replicable for someone actually in these ranks. Especially because of his god tier game sense, reads, and consistency. For an actual player in D2/3 they're gonna make bad reads, miss, and be in the wrong positon or over commit, and if it's not them it'll be their teammate. These kinds of videos have a lot of value but they have to be executed properly, playing with less than rank appropriate mechs to make up for their massively superior game sense and focusing on explaining how to develop that kind of game sense. Flakes def does a good job of it but even then, he always knows when to fake challenge and cover the shot and make the save, which most players below gc will struggle with. Not to mention his almost prescient ability to know when the opponent will challenge and to powerslide cut, it's fun to watch but again hard to replicate. I don't want to see pros smurf with "basic mechanics" I want to see how they rotate, position, and control the pace of the game in a way that is replicable. That being said, I still learn a lot from these videos. Especially the back wall best friend bit and the rule set around when to challenge or not based on who is closer to the ball, and we definitely need more of that game sense focused advice

      I see a fair amount of flip resets from Diamonds and Champs. It's not a mechanic I can do as my mechanics are closer to gold, but they're pretty common at those ranks now to the point where it doesn't particularly impress me anymore. A big difference between those guys and higher level players is they don't always know what to do when challenged in the air. Their Freeplay mechanics are quite good, but just fast aerial at them and they panic.

      This was my takeaway too. If I was in the last game playing against Jrader_toes I would not think he's smurfing since he isn't consistent. But Mr DrMuffiNator over here?!?! That guys might not be trying anything fancy but the movement is WAAAY too clean and he is 100% consistent. There's a smurf! But I guess his point rings true then... I don't need any fancy techs/mechs to get wins and advance at this stage. I just need to get more consistent with aerials and ball control and patience.

  • @ironpudding5679
    @ironpudding5679 3 місяці тому +25

    something that I've noticed with people that are less consistent mechanically (myself included at c2) is that your level of awareness is limited because of how much mental energy your spending on simply hitting the ball the way you want it to. Its something that I think is underestimated when people say to just focus on game sense and positioning because improving your mechanics can free up your mental capacity to actually focus on those things. I'm starting to turn towards learning more freestyle mechanics just so I don't have to struggle so much in normal gameplay.

    squishy i wanted to tell you that this series has been quite the nostalgia for me. i've been watching you since early 2017 (i began RL in late 2016) and the vibe i got so far from you commenting in these videos has in my eyes somehow got more like it was in the beginning when i started watching you. that's why it's kinda nostalgic for me to just listen to you teaching me about RL where you just talk about your thought processes while playing these ranks and sounding very happy to just give people some tips to get better.
    the last few years were kinda stressful for me so that might influence my perception of your videos from this time span but at some point to me they sounded somewhat forced, maybe because of the stress coming from rlcs or idk. it's just a feeling and as i said it might just be a perception thing but that is how i perceived it.
    anyway i learned much from your videos as your thoughts about the game kinda always reflected my own but with much more depth, experience and obviously mechanics to make them work^^ therefore it's refreshing to have more fun again while watching your videos. i'm looking forward to the gc1/gc2 videos as i don't know what i should work on in the moment since i'm playing more again than i was the last two years

    Hey Squishy, after watching this video I hopped onto rocket league and implemented this playstyle. No joke, I went from c1 d1 to c2 d1 in around an hour and a half. I won 15 games and now at my peak. This playstyle is actually very good, considering that you don't really even need good mechs to play like this. Squishy, thanks for the informative video. Will continue to get better.

    • @Vull1fy
      @Vull1fy 3 місяці тому +1

      @@Theprinceofopposites I mostly just go for touches that are necessary and don't go for air roll aerials. I only use air roll for when im trying to re-adjust my car for recoveries or in the air so my car is in the right angle. I hit some of my best shots from barely using air roll. Also being patient is a great factor in the playstyle. Trust me, if I went for 2x more shots that were given to me it would've just ended in a waste of boost or being in a bad position. In summary: just use air roll for slight adjustments, be patient with the ball, let your teammates ball chase instead of yourself because you are given more opportunities if you sit. Defence is a important part of the playstyle because my defence is the main reason why we score. Champs like to overextend to our side and when they are confident, just hit it away from them and they lose possession, thus increasing chances of scoring. I can't remember fully every thing from the playstyle that I implemented, but I simply just played smart and only went for the touches that were necessary. In the end, champs are just diamonds who know a bit more mechs and are a bit more consistent. Pretty much meaning that they will still make mistakes. Find those mistakes and play off them. Your challenges are also really important. If your teammate is back at net and your playing shadow defence, go for the ball. It will make your teammates job easier. The main 3 things is work on your challenges or 50's, they are really important. Play patiently, let the enemy have the ball if its in a bad position, and play simple. Sorry for being a bit repetitive, not really good at explaining.

And i have noticed that it is because we do it so rarely, and we can only do it when we have the perfect setup, and the problem for us is getting these good setups.

    Us High diamonds/low champs aren't consistent enough at hitting shots when they matter in the few chances we have during the game, so the games end up being close and therefore difficult to win/rank up consistently. Even though you aren't doing fast shots, they are still well-placed. Also, with how few games you are spending in each rank, there isn't a chance to see the variation in players. My games feel like plat with some players and champ with others. TLDR: MECHANIC CONSISTENCY WINS
