[pastel vortex]

Remove some other friends

[cyan sage]

i am not your therapist, you dont have to project your problems to me

[pastel vortex]

Friends list will be full

[inland osprey]

then don't say ur stuck because of teammates

[cyan sage]

but when i q it's bad

they just bump me all the time

[inland osprey]

so what

[pastel vortex]

It can feel like it if you're way above the lobbies. Sometimes games do just feel impossible

[marble ledge]

im USE what abt u

[pastel vortex]

Start of season is a killer for this

[winter oxide]

He's silver 2 in 1s lmao

[inland osprey]

lol

[gusty sandal]

Can anyone coach me in 1s? (DM me)

[viral acorn]

same

[inland osprey]

yeah no if u deserve champ you should be winning games in plat blindfolded

[mint maple]

Can anyone coach me I Hardstuck gold 1

[pastel vortex]

In 1s maybe, not other gamemodes

It's not so simple

[marble ledge]

The name is Neiko123 no pw

[inland osprey]

ive smurfed in plat countless times they whiff so many balls

it's so easy to score

[pastel vortex]

You can still get stuck in ranks. It happens to everyone

[cyan sage]

they just dont know man how it is here 🥀

[inland osprey]

yeah yeah bro sure

[mint maple]

Can anyone coach me I Hs gold 1

[pastel vortex]

I've been stuck in c3 countless times feeling like there is genuinely no way out

[cyan sage]

you too

[inland osprey]

nah

[pastel vortex]

It takes a lot of queuing or teammates you can trust sometimes

Some games are genuinely unwinnable

[inland osprey]

being stuck in ur own rank is different to being stuck like 6 ranks

[pastel vortex]

C3 is not my rank bossman

[inland osprey]

what's ur rank

[pastel vortex]

Gc2 atm

[inland osprey]

hmm ok

[pastel vortex]

You can get stuck from time to time

[inland osprey]

he should still be winning most games don't you agree

[pastel vortex]

Honestly it depends on what teammates and opponents he runs into

Yea he should have a slightly positive wr

But if he gets frustrated with the losses and stops, then he's not gonna climb

Sometimes the only way is purely to just grind games and let statistics do the work for you

[inland osprey]

ight

[pastel vortex]

If you're better than your opponents most games, you should win just more than half of your games played

[inland osprey]

i just don't get ur logic

a champ is way better than a plat

[strong scaffold]

the guy is probably champ

i 1v1d him after

[inland osprey]

especially someone that beat a c2

[strong scaffold]

he played like a dookie silver against the other guy

[unborn beacon]

Can anyone on central servers help me? I was high diamond actually hit C1 briefly last season.. my account is the lowest it's been since the past couple seasons at P1..

For 2s of..

[marble ledge]

@viral acorn yeah i prob shoulda warmed up before

[unborn beacon]

It's a world I'm not used to I hate plat

[strong scaffold]

What can I help with friend?

[unborn beacon]

Lol play with me 😂

[strong scaffold]

bruh 👦

[unborn beacon]

Yeah I'm central amywaysb

[strong scaffold]

youll just get into a d3 lobby

[viral acorn]

that was my first game lol

[unborn beacon]

I hit C1 last season...

[marble ledge]

Dangg

[strong scaffold]

yes but now youre not xd

[marble ledge]

i dont uisually play like that tho

[unborn beacon]

This is true.

Ugh yeah okay back to solo queing I guess

[strong scaffold]

rip rip

[unborn beacon]

FML plat 1 teammates

Always on the ball

[strong scaffold]

weird how that works

[cyan sage]

it doesn’t get better😭🙏

[strong scaffold]

[unborn beacon]

At least in D3 and C1 I can expect whoever is on the ball to actually hit it instead of whiffing or somehow confusing me forcing me to hesitate and not play my normal pace

...most of the time

[lofty spade]

alright so im just stuck in my rank

im improving as a player a lot having the basics ground control and flicks to be able to score 75% of the times of off oportunities. When I play with randoms i just win and lose and stay in same elo but when i played with a buddy who is diamond 3 (im high diamond 1 low d2) i was able to keep up consistently and carry my own. I went from plat 1 to plat 3 in 1s but my 2s rank is just the same.

[outer gulch]

What is your rank and if you want we can play casual? I can see your replays and see where are you having trouble

[lofty spade]

rn d2 div 2

[gusty sandal]

Can anyone coach me in 1s? (DM me)

[lofty spade]

been practising flip reset for fun but ik its not optimal

[exotic forge]

someone wanne play with a gold

[outer gulch]

Are you down??

[lofty spade]

sure i can play a 2s game rq how i normally would and you can see

[exotic forge]

someone wanne caoch me

[viral acorn]

anyone need rank help or a coach dm me

[exotic forge]

i need coach

[exotic forge]

i dm

[obtuse nymph]

hello

sir i am gold 1

[cedar chasm]

I felt a difference but not much of a diff, it was prolly his playstyle too, I'm very bad against ballchasers

[strong scaffold]

from a spectator pov it looked like you were giving them them the ball a lot, which is why you lost tbh

[cedar chasm]

I'm just a passive player, that's why in bad against ballchasers

[strong scaffold]

if you had challenged when you had the advantage you wouldve 20-0d him

understandable

[formal pewter]

Can I 1v1?

[obtuse nymph]

i am stuck in gold 1/ gold 2 in ones

[cedar chasm]

I just don't know when to challenge when playing against people with similar playstyle to him. I'm expecting them to not go for the ball because it's not worth it and then they end up going anyway

For example, when we did a 1v1, I had a much better idea of when to challenge

[lavish mason]

smoe gc wnats to hop on some cas 2s?

[minor oasis]

Anybody got good mechs that could teach me to help me freestyle? i can do alot of different reset and stuff but want help to improve them dm if you can help

[turbid birch]

guys i really need help learning air dribble im curently new to directional air roll left and slowly improving in it
but i still cant master the air dribble
like i feel i do the setup wrong and the i cant perfect the first touch to control the ball

i sent a clip of my air dribble in #gameplay-highlights

[odd prawn]

i need tips im gold 1 in 2s

i know im better but i cant get out of the rank

[pastel vortex]

You maybe had a much better idea of when to challenge to guarantee winning the ball. But sometimes you can challenge to have an even 50, but if you have boost or a better recovery, you end up winning

[turbid birch]

someone help pls

[pastel vortex]

I can play some more soon

[turbid birch]

yo bro can u help me

[pastel vortex]

Not with mechs unfortunately

[lavish mason]

i m runing some with sonder rn

[cedar chasm]

thats my point, sometimes the other guy had low boost and still challenged, i wasnt expecting the challenge since he was low so he was scoring

[turbid birch]

why tho

[strong scaffold]

Yeah the lack of vision is just a strategic flaw in RL. In other games you have to put yourself in an advantageous position, but atleast you can see what the opponent does. I'd rather just play against ppl like you who use their brain and never 1v1 kids 🧑

here u just boom the ball to get that position because its impossible to see the opponent which is super boring

[turbid birch]

dont u have any tips tho?? i sent a clip in #gameplay-highlights u can check it

[pastel vortex]

I'll have a look but my mechs are not good

[bronze elbow]

im not the best with mechs but i can try

[turbid birch]

ok thx

[turbid birch]

ok ty

[cedar chasm]

i feel like my mistake is expecting the other person to think, which is a rare occurance in this game

[olive basin]

Is there anyone to play 2v2s
My rank is gold 1

[odd prawn]

i do

[odd prawn]

ill play

[pastel vortex]

If you're looking for control you need to slow the ball down with the first touch. Try the underside of the front of your car, and try a slightly more vertical touch. Also matching your speed to the ball as best as possible

[olive basin]

Ok

[odd prawn]

When u tryna play

[pastel vortex]

Your mistake is expecting everyone to think in the same way as you

[turbid birch]

ok tysm but the problem is i cant master the setup i think i mess it up maybe that is why i cant control the car

[pastel vortex]

More practice is all

[cedar chasm]

so you are saying that challenging when having 0 boost and the other player is on 100 is normal?

[pastel vortex]

Sometimes yea absolutely

[strong scaffold]

very rare 🥹

[cedar chasm]

because thats literlaly all he was doing

[pastel vortex]

If I'm close enough and don't want to give the ball for free

[turbid birch]

ok what is the best for air dribble braking before jumping or just jumping when hitting the ball

[pastel vortex]

Then I'll force a 50 to give me time

[pastel vortex]

Braking for sure, makes it easier to match speed

[turbid birch]

ok thx

[cedar chasm]

thats ball chaser mindset, when im full and the opponent is low im expecting them to go away which is a pretty damn good expectation

[strong scaffold]

you just have to always challenge

[pastel vortex]

It's really not just ball chasing

[raw dome]

How to hit c1 with random tm8s

[cedar chasm]

what happens if you lose the challenge and it goes towards your net?

[pastel vortex]

It's situational awareness. I'm not going to do it every time, but when I think I have a good 50 to buy me time

[cedar chasm]

because when challenging with 0 boost, u really risk that happening

[pastel vortex]

Then you're going for a bad 50

[strong scaffold]

XDDD

yep thats his point

[cedar chasm]

person with full boost has more chances of winning the 50 lol

[pastel vortex]

That's just completely wrong

There's so much more to it

[cedar chasm]

so much more but boost is a factor

[pastel vortex]

A small factor

[cedar chasm]

so if im as good in 50s as the other guy and ive got full boost, i have more than a 50 percent chance of winning

meaning that going for a 50 on low boost is dumb unless you are forced to

[strong scaffold]

the only advantage p1 has is that p2 WONT challenge because he thinks p1 wont, as it would be dumb. bad game design gg go next

[pastel vortex]

If you're taking a good 50 yea, you should recover faster

[cedar chasm]

the other person was taking bad 50s is my point, but since i wasnt expecting them because they were bad, i wasnt challenging at all

[gusty sandal]

Idk the context that well here but what i am hearing the most is that your just bad at adapting

[pastel vortex]

Just because he has no boost, doesn't mean it's a bad 50

[turbid birch]

@pastel vortex i sent another clip and idk what is the issue and mistakes there can u tell me pls

[cedar chasm]

im bad when playing against people who make unpredictable thus dumb decisions

[gusty sandal]

Adaptability

[cedar chasm]

adaptability is impossiblke when having to deal with unpredictable players

[pastel vortex]

Unpredictable does not mean dumb at all

[cedar chasm]

in most cases, it does

[pastel vortex]

It makes it difficult to adapt to, which is good

If there's a mechanical player, they can be unpredictable which makes defending near impossible

[cedar chasm]

go to every games most talented players, they can read each other like a book

[pastel vortex]

There is no way to adapt

[turbid birch]

can u check the last clip i sent just now idk what is the mistake there

[pastel vortex]

In a couple mins sure

[turbid birch]

ok thx

[cedar chasm]

unpredictability with mechs and unpredicability in general is different

[turbid birch]

i sent it in #gameplay-highlights

[cedar chasm]

why do you think that pro players know exactly or atlkeast most of the times what the other person is gonna do?

[gusty sandal]

Your not describing that though

[cedar chasm]

because they do what is most optimal

[formal pewter]

Anyone wanna 1v1?

[cedar chasm]

full challenging when 0 boost and opponent has 100 is 1 case, which happened plenty of times during the game

thats not me not being able to adapt, its a dumb challenge

[gusty sandal]

So you can't learn from your mistake at all?

Nvm, this is impossible

[cedar chasm]

in a case where I KNOW i can win the 50, i dont 50 at all because im expecting the opponent to know that they will lose it

[gusty sandal]

Can anyone coach me in 1s? (DM me)

[cedar chasm]

but since some people are unable to use their brains, they go for it either way even though they damn right knwo theyll lose

[gusty sandal]

Unpredictable is key to winning also how new plays can have deadly consequences

[pastel vortex]

i agree

but alex does not seem to get it

[pastel vortex]

i aint about getting clapped, sorry brother

[formal pewter]

??

[lavish mason]

@pastel vortex u wanna run sonme more?

[pastel vortex]

youll beat me, otherwise i would 🥲

[formal pewter]

How do you know

[cyan sage]

my wifi went out

[green crystal]

p1 anyone tryna 1v1

[pastel vortex]

try have your first touch under the ball more

[lavish mason]

i thought they were toxic so u just quited

[pastel vortex]

youre c2/3 in 1s atm and have been playing the game

[cedar chasm]

unpredictable is fine as long as its not affecting your decisions, going for a full on dumb move in order to be unpredictable is nuts

[cyan sage]

nah they were horrible😭😭

[formal pewter]

I just played my 1st game of ghe day lmao

[cyan sage]

im playing like buns i was probs gonna hop off anyways

[gusty sandal]

Did it work?

[formal pewter]

Holy yap shut up

[pastel vortex]

yea sorry, need another 10 mins

[lavish mason]

dw man

[gusty sandal]

If it worked its a success

[lavish mason]

u alwaays play liek taht sonder❤️

[strong scaffold]

Random = Good 🤡

[cedar chasm]

here comes the 15 yo

[cyan sage]

true asl😭😭

[formal pewter]

Bro youve been typing essays for the past 10 minutes. Just shut up

Nobody cares anymore

[lavish mason]

nah u good twin we just washed

[cedar chasm]

for 1 game yes, the question is will it work in general?

[pastel vortex]

For ranked yea

[gusty sandal]

Will play if i can when i get home

[cedar chasm]

since you replied it kinda shows that you cared

[formal pewter]

Bet

[gusty sandal]

Do you know what unpredictable means?

[formal pewter]

🤓☝️

[cyan sage]

i lowk shouldn’t be washed but we ball

[gusty sandal]

I guess not

[cedar chasm]

do you know that unpredictable in top play in every game is bad?

[pastel vortex]

@cedar chasm you've been on awful takes all day, please give it a rest

[cedar chasm]

you are literally trying to defend a guy who has been faking his rank all day what are you even talking about?

[strong scaffold]

It worked for me against bad players so its good 🤡

[lavish mason]

ur just too mmechy for them thats all

[gusty sandal]

Unpredictable is that your not predictable if your get predictable then its not Unpredictable anymore

[pastel vortex]

📖

[cedar chasm]

to do everything optimally though you NEED to be predictable

[pastel vortex]

No?

[cyan sage]

nah i just don’t know what to do when both are diving me anytime i get the ball😭😭

[cedar chasm]

optimal is predictable

[cyan sage]

happens everytime man

[cedar chasm]

yes? optimal in every game is predictable

[formal pewter]

Lmaooo

[pastel vortex]

That's just false

If you're predictable you're easier to play against

It's like playing chess and your opponent telling you their next 3 moves

[strong scaffold]

alexy if you were acting predictably you would insta challenge btw

[pastel vortex]

You should beat them

[cedar chasm]

i didnt deny that, i said optimality is predictable, you are changing the subject

[strong scaffold]

which is optimal

but very boring

[cedar chasm]

someone who does everything perfectly is predictable, because everyone can predict perfect

[pastel vortex]

But being easier to play against isn't optimal at all? It's the opposite

[formal pewter]

So in actual soccer its better to be predictable?

[versed jolt]

Anyone wanna help or grind with me to c3? I'm c2 EU?

[gusty sandal]

Yes!

[pastel vortex]

I'd rather be completely unpredictable because then my opponent is more likely to make mistakes

[cedar chasm]

depends. i said in top play

[pale halo]

surew

[pastel vortex]

Even in top play that's the case

As long as it's intentionally unpredictable

[formal pewter]

Basketball?

[strong scaffold]

THEY ARE TOO FEMININE THEY DONT UNDERSTAND LOGIC GIVE IT A REST 🔥

[cedar chasm]

since i said in top play, ur opponent wont be making mistakes, so unpredictable will be straighjt up bad

[gusty sandal]

Take new mechanics as takes

[versed jolt]

Yoo what rank r u

[gusty sandal]

Thats impossible

Everyone does mistakes

[cedar chasm]

fine let me change it, theyll be making monimal mistyakes

[pale halo]

im c2 div 3 rn :(

[pastel vortex]

If I go for an air dribble every time I have the chance, my opponent will begin to predict it and likely stop it. If I can flip reset, or ceiling shot, or air dribble bump, it's then more difficult to predict what I'm going to do, and more difficult to save

[versed jolt]

Alr let's get c3

[pale halo]

btw i think i played with you on my other acc

[versed jolt]

What Ur epic

[pastel vortex]

Or if I fake challenge occasionally, my opponent doesn't know if it's a fake or not the next time

[pale halo]

zeno.259

[lavish mason]

unpredicatbilty forces ur opponent to play reactive which slow downes his reaction time and makes him easier to outplay

[versed jolt]

Hmm idk mabye

[strong scaffold]

Ok this is boring now how can you not see this guy is an idiot

[formal pewter]

Real

[strong scaffold]

bye

[pastel vortex]

Baased

[formal pewter]

Anyone wanna 1v1? Need practice

[pale halo]

i was peak c3 div 3 like 3 days ago and dropped bad

[versed jolt]

I swear I recognise that

[pale halo]

yeah we plaed together before 100 percent

[versed jolt]

I sent

[cedar chasm]

it also makes you make dumb plays which if the opponent sees in time you get sdcored on

[turbid birch]

ok thx

[versed jolt]

I met U in a random game never knew U had dc

[pale halo]

im just hopping on now

[gusty sandal]

Air dribble is the optimal!

[pastel vortex]

For some situations absolutely

[gusty sandal]

I meant from his perspective like he said optimal

[cedar chasm]

play against a pro and try to be unpredictable for example, theyll destroy you

[pastel vortex]

??? Brother have you ever watched a pro 1v1

[lavish mason]

what are u on? its not about having to follow in this scenario u are making it on ur own rules ur dictating the rules not him in any scenario when u mess up u wil get scored on in pro play

[pastel vortex]

Almost every goal scored is from being unpredictable

A fake flick or pop or some aerial mechanic

[cedar chasm]

have watched many, ive never seen dumb plays there to be unpredictable lol

[gusty sandal]

If someone is on the ground dribbling towards your net can you predict the move they will make???

[strong scaffold]

🍿

[lavish mason]

if u think unpredictaiblioty is bad u must never seen evample play or any pro that is delaying/faking flicks

[cedar chasm]

im talking about being unpredictable by purposefully doing bad plays, faking does not fall in that category

[pastel vortex]

So doing bad plays will lose you the game. The first and probably last correct thing you'll say today

[cedar chasm]

and sometimes being unpredictable means doing bad plays

[pastel vortex]

Nobody purposefully does bad plays unless they're trying to lose

But that's completely unrelated to the unpredictable thing

[gusty sandal]

...

[pastel vortex]

They're mutually exclusive

[cedar chasm]

do you knwo what in most cases mean?

[gusty sandal]

Do you know the difference between sometimes and most cases?

[cedar chasm]

let me ask you this, have you ever seena pro full hogging the ball with 0 boost without being forced to?

cuz ive seen a lot of 1v1s and ive definiterly not seen that happening

[pastel vortex]

Yea I've seen them perma challenge for a couple seconds to buy themselves time

[cedar chasm]

you clearly dont even know what happened in the match, im not talking being ON the ball and challenging, im talking being away and full on driving towards it and then challenging

[cedar chasm]

also that falls in the category being forced to

[pastel vortex]

If that's the case, why didn't you pop it over their head?

Or off the sidewall

Or flick it

[cedar chasm]

because i wasnt expecting them to go for a challenge in that situation, what have i been talking about the entire time?

[gusty sandal]

His weakness is unpredictable

[pastel vortex]

So they were unpredictable and it worked, as you expected them to fake?

Seems like a you problem completely

[cedar chasm]

yes but it was a suboptimal play, nobody in the top play would go for a challenge like this lol

[cedar chasm]

because im expecting people to play optimally?

[lavish mason]

u wont explain something to people who refuse to listen

[cedar chasm]

because he is unable to explain it, he doesnt have actual arguments

neither does anyone here

[pastel vortex]

like you do?

[cedar chasm]

i have examples

let me tell you one real quick

[pastel vortex]

1v1 me, if you play optimally youll win

alternatively, @lavish mason lets run some 2s

[cedar chasm]

ever seen ryley? best CR player, ever seen his games against other top CR players? in every match both sides predict almost everything

because optimal is predictable

[cedar chasm]

rank?

[lavish mason]

sure inv me

[gusty sandal]

Unpredictable means bad plays...

[pastel vortex]

ive played against some top players, and its only predictable because theyre forced into that play

if you ever give time or cant challenge, they do something unpredictable and score

because unpredictable is optimal

[cedar chasm]

EXACTLY my point, when you are forced into a play you HAVE to be predictable in order to win

in this scenario i forced him to have 0 boost while he was midfield and i have 100 so he would have the most chances to win if he played passive and yethe drived for 2 full seconds into the ball and challenged it

[pastel vortex]

no, theyre not choosing to be predictable because they want to be, theyre choosing to make the best choice in the play to beat the man, which is what youre also TRYING TO FORCE AS THE PLAYER CHALLENGING

[pastel vortex]

sent

[lavish mason]

i dont think there is a point if someone doesnt understand what term force means

[cedar chasm]

exactly, because making hte best choice ina game is always better than intentionally making bad chgoices

[lavish mason]

ddint get it u mind sending another?

[frank silo]

If you download rocket league on steam can you delete it from epic games?

[pastel vortex]

i think so?

[pastel vortex]

no sh** sherlock

[pastel vortex]

sent again, if not, inv me

[cedar chasm]

???? so why are we arguing in the first place? thats exactly what ive been trying to say this entire time

[lavish mason]

i dont get it and dont see u online i ll just reset rl rq

[pastel vortex]

ill do the same

[pastel vortex]

if you think thats the point youve been making then you really need to learn to express yourself better. its nowhere near what youve been stating

[cedar chasm]

let me ask you one last thing, if your opponent is the perfect opponent and he never makes mistakes, lets say you are playing against a robot, would you make that challenge ive been describing with 0 boost?

[lavish mason]

now i see u as online

[pastel vortex]

no, because my opponent is competent and would react to the situation

[cedar chasm]

exactly, so we agree?

[pastel vortex]

no, because clearly you were incompetent and didnt react

[cedar chasm]

but how did he know that?

he didnt

so guess what? he intentionally made a bad play

[pastel vortex]

maybe he figured it out after a couple plays

[lavish mason]

he took a risk

[pastel vortex]

discovered you were predictable

[cedar chasm]

it was literlaly 1 of the first plays of the game

[formal pewter]

HOLY YAP SHUT UP

[cedar chasm]

a risk AGAINST him

because in that scenario, the opponent had more chancxes of scoring compared to him

so he literally took a risk with less than 50 percent chances meaning that he intentionally made a bad play, you literally cant prove me wrong

[cedar chasm]

are you even allowed to have discord at this age?

[pastel vortex]

its a risk he took thinking youre as bad as you were

[gusty sandal]

Predictable*

[pastel vortex]

and it worked

[cedar chasm]

he literlaly didnt know my playstyle or that i wouldnt challenge it so what are you even talking aboiut?

it was the 1st game we played and literaly before the 1st minute

[gusty sandal]

That one idk but you said it happend many times?

[pastel vortex]

he knew what rank you were before going in

and that you thought youd easily win

he had some information

[cedar chasm]

sure, i guess i made a mistake the other times for no adjusting but how are you gonna tell me that doing this as the first play is smart and not ballchase behavior?

[formal pewter]

1v1

[pastel vortex]

i really dont know what to say at this point if youre malding so badly over one play

[cedar chasm]

he did that many times

[cedar chasm]

he was around the same rank as me, so still doesnt give him advantage in doing this

[gusty sandal]

Perspective, from some point of views you can say its ball chasing and other its smart but for the correct answer you gotta ask the player in question

[formal pewter]

He disregards the 1v1

[cedar chasm]

why should i even 1v1 you? lol 1v1s dont solve arguments, unless you are talking about in real life

[gusty sandal]

Doesn't solve a lot a things

[formal pewter]

I play faster. Let's see if "unpredictable" is better

Solves the argument

[versed jolt]

Anyone wanna help or grind with me to c3? I'm c2 EU?

[cedar chasm]

not exactly, if we talk about straight chances its a bad play

[cedar chasm]

?what does playing faster even have to do?

faster and unpredictable are compeltely different

[formal pewter]

I BALLCHASE

Better?

Just 1v1 bro

[cedar chasm]

better, how many hours do you have in rl?

[formal pewter]

1200

[cedar chasm]

so 500 hours vs 1200 is a fair comparison? LOL

[formal pewter]

Then dont act like you are so knowledgeable

[gusty sandal]

I have 2400 and i am lower than him

[formal pewter]

What rank even are you

[cedar chasm]

c2

[gusty sandal]

Hours doesn't mean much

[formal pewter]

Then itll be fine

[tacit marlin]

[formal pewter]

Im c2 as well

[gusty sandal]

1s*

[cedar chasm]

ik, but having the same hours and beating someone in a 1v1 is what shows who has more talent lol

[cedar chasm]

im talking about 2s

[formal pewter]

Oh. Peak gc3

[cedar chasm]

so 500 hours c2 vs 1200 gc3, now tell me how tf is that even gonna solve the argument?

[gusty sandal]

I mean having 400 hours sitting in freeplay or main menu doing absolutely nothing counts into that

[pastel vortex]

then you didnt adapt to him making a bad play

making you even worse

[gusty sandal]

He said it was his bad

[cedar chasm]

sure, i admitted that, still doesnt mean that it wasnt a bad play in the first place

[formal pewter]

Because im aggressive and you arent and your whole argument was aggressive "unpredictable" is bad

[gusty sandal]

Here

[pastel vortex]

gang gang

[cedar chasm]

against the same rank LOL, i mean a pro can beat you by intentionally playing passively if he wants to, doesnt mean its better

[formal pewter]

And i still find it funny how unpredictable is "worse"

[cedar chasm]

oops wrong reply

[formal pewter]

Like thats so false it hurts me

You need to play unpredictable but force your opponent to be the opposite

Thats how you win

[cedar chasm]

alr, im predictable and i can beat a ballchaser silver, so myplaystykle is better

thats ur logic

[formal pewter]

To the silver you arent. You are stupidly unpredictable yet vice versa you can predict everything hes going to do

He loses because you know what hes going to do

[cedar chasm]

true but when you are forced to be predictable you are predictable arent you?>

[formal pewter]

When you get forced to become predictable you lose

Plain and simple

Thats when your opponent wins

[cedar chasm]

thats the whole argument, i forced this guy to be predictable and he intentionally made a bad play to be unpredictable

[formal pewter]

Did he win?

[gusty sandal]

Yeah

[cedar chasm]

yes

[formal pewter]

Then hes better

[cedar chasm]

thats not how that works

[formal pewter]

You thought too much and became the predictable one

He realized "hes going to expect this" and did the opposite and won

[cedar chasm]

it was the first 30 seconds of the game

[formal pewter]

Reguardless you still thought too much

[cedar chasm]

why are you describing what happened without having even watched the match? like wtf

[formal pewter]

And you lost for it

Am I wrong?

[cedar chasm]

yes?

[formal pewter]

Did you expect him to do something and he didnt do it

Yes or no

[cedar chasm]

for once, he never realized anything, he just ricked it

risked

[formal pewter]

Dog sometimes you gotta risk it

[cedar chasm]

opposite

[formal pewter]

Ok so you expected him not to do somsthing and he did

[cedar chasm]

not how it works, especially 30 seconds into a ga,e

[formal pewter]

He caught you off guard

[cedar chasm]

right

[formal pewter]

Thats good rocket no?

Reguardless of if it was smart, he did it fast enough it didnt matter

[cedar chasm]

how is it good? he never knew if it would work, all he knew is that it had LESS chances of working

[formal pewter]

There have been countless reviews of zen and people say hes so fast most of his challenges arent the best but they catch people off guard so badly he gets away

It was a 1v1 no?

[cedar chasm]

zens plays are good though this guys wasnt, let me describe you what happened first and then you can say if it was good or not LOL

[formal pewter]

If he won it was good enough

Case closed

Anyone wanna 1v1?

[pastel vortex]

saying its bad a pro level is such a weird argument because the level of gameplay is so vastly differrent

[cedar chasm]

yes, i had taken most boosts, he was stuck in midfield with 0 boost and i was in my corner, the guy literlaly drove for mayn seconds towards the ball and challenged with 0 boost

[cosmic blaze]

This was 30s in? I mean im down to throw a ridiculous challenge early as its unexpected

[formal pewter]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

[cedar chasm]

read the type of challenge though lol

[formal pewter]

IT HE WON IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH

[pastel vortex]

go on then, ill lose a game

[cosmic blaze]

Can you link it im blindly joining this

[viral acorn]

anyone need a coach or rank help dm me

[cedar chasm]

read my message above, dont have the replay

[cedar chasm]

im expecting people to have similar decisions like a pro

because guess what? pro decisions are most optimal

thus why that dude is champ and a pro is a pro

[cosmic blaze]

Respect to him ngl

Its a stupid challenge and thats why it worked

This is common and i get goals from this sort of play often

[cedar chasm]

exactly lol

people here are saying that the challenge was smart

[cosmic blaze]

Well it was

Its stupid to do it and thats why he did it, catching u off guard

[cedar chasm]

you are counteracting what u are saying

[cosmic blaze]

Im not

[formal pewter]

I said it was so stupid it WAS smart

[cedar chasm]

maybe, or maybe he didnt even think and went for it, both are possible scenarios

[cosmic blaze]

If i play passive most of the game im throwing in some crazy challenges which are gonna be very likely to work.

And since it was early game you’d assume he wouldnt challenge like that

[cedar chasm]

exactly

[formal pewter]

Hmmm what does that remind you of

[cosmic blaze]

Lowkey sometimes if im drained to no boost in a bad situation id rather js challenge then defend lol

[cedar chasm]

i mean as i said theres more than 1 possible scenario, it was either a decent risk to see my playstyle or he just turned his brain off, and its not guaranteed thast it was the first one

[gusty sandal]

Its not guaranteed its the second one

[cosmic blaze]

Both resulted in him scoring no?

[cedar chasm]

because im bad at playing against these types of people, it worked against ME sure but would it work against someone else? prolly not

[cosmic blaze]

Im js sayin instead of worrying if it was intentional focus on what you couldve done

You will 100% see more players like this and smarter with it

[cedar chasm]

but i couldnt have done anything, if i continue climbing and reach the top, nobody is gonna throw challenges like this

[cosmic blaze]

They will

[gusty sandal]

Dude 1s is a new player every game get that through your head

[cedar chasm]

this type of challenge never happens in pro play so it isnt necessarily smart, because a pro would punish such bad play

[gusty sandal]

Are you a pro?

[cedar chasm]

not in mechanics but in mindset im trying to, thus why i didnt sxpect the challenge

[cosmic blaze]

A pro has never done an unexpected challenge

[cedar chasm]

as i said its a mistake of mine for expecting other people to be playing good

[cosmic blaze]

Watch a 1v1 showmatch

[formal pewter]

You still lost

[cedar chasm]

that challenge wasnt unexpected, it was easily punishable, im just bad at expecting the unpredictable

[gusty sandal]

So it was unexpected

[cedar chasm]

sure mb i worded that wrong LOL, it was VERY EASILKY punishable thouhg

[cosmic blaze]

Yeah and pros will feel the same when they lose to an unexpected challenge, itll just be faster

Obviously its not gonna look the same as ur game though

[cedar chasm]

if that dude pulled that off against any gc or higher, it would be a goal for the opponent

[cosmic blaze]

can we see this

[gusty sandal]

Are you that player?

[cedar chasm]

dont have replay, i tried describing though

[cosmic blaze]

Im only gc1 and c2 in 1s but i score these types of goals and have them scored on me

[cedar chasm]

in mindset yes

as i said thats the whole reason i ddint expect the challenge

[gusty sandal]

Clearly not

[pallid yarrow]

anyone have any tips for playing against AI? im pretty sure me and my friend played against one and just got dogged on, we thought maybe just playing in the air but idk

[cedar chasm]

but someone else would force the challenge and go for the goal, i just thought the opponent wouldnt go for that

[cosmic blaze]

What was ur situation though, were u mid dribble, ik he was 0 midfeild and u had 100

[strange mauve]

can someone give me tips how i can win vs breezi drku and mertzy?

[mint maple]

Can some one coach me im hs gold 1

[cosmic blaze]

And whats ur rank btw

[cedar chasm]

i wasnt doing anything, just sitting with the ball in my corner, thats why the challenge was weird

[cedar chasm]

c2 peak c3 div 4

[cosmic blaze]

In?

1s

[cedar chasm]

2s, d3 in 1s and very close to champ

point is, im mostly a 1s player and from my experience against many 1s players, nobody in my rank would go for that challenge

because most people in d3 1s are gc

in 2s

[cosmic blaze]

Do you want advice or js wanna vent about the ridiculous challenge? You need to watch ur opponent at all times, some players are massive threats even with 0 boost. Always have the ball in an outplayable position or for a good 50

[cedar chasm]

i coulkd beat him in the 50 if i went for it, i completely didnt go for it though

[cosmic blaze]

D3 1s is hell

[cedar chasm]

thats why i wasnt expecting it lol, because if i flipped to it was over for him, so why would someone go for such a play?

[cosmic blaze]

Yeah just need to watch ur opponent at all times, in 1s people play so close even with minimal boost.

[cosmic blaze]

The reason is in what you typed

[worthy nest]

yo

[cedar chasm]

true but as i said i wasnt expecting it because im used to playing gcs which would never go for that

[worthy nest]

smurfs basically

[cedar chasm]

i prolly have over 100 1s matches in diamond and nobody has made this or a similar challenge

[cosmic blaze]

I feel like they would tbh

[cedar chasm]

not really, 1s is different than 2s

[worthy nest]

whats the difference? smurfs are smurfs 🤷‍♂️

[cedar chasm]

ive never had that happen in 100 games

[cedar chasm]

smurf is someone who makes a new account, these guys are on their main

[worthy nest]

ohhh wait wait, u mean ur going against gc's on 2's right

[cedar chasm]

as i said multiple times im mostly a 1s player, the fact that i didnt expect means that it doesnt happen in 1s, because every bad play is punishable in 1s compared to 2s

[cedar chasm]

yeah lol

[cedar chasm]

gcs in 2s are d3 in 1s

[tiny shadow]

d3 in 1s = ~gc1 in 2s

[worthy nest]

so 1's is more harder in a way?

[cosmic blaze]

The fact you didnt expect it makes it a good play

[cosmic blaze]

Im c2 in 1s gc1 in 2s

[cedar chasm]

no, its different

[tiny shadow]

nice

[cedar chasm]

I didnt expect it, other people would, how is that a good play?

[cosmic blaze]

How do you know other people would tho

[cedar chasm]

last time i checked im not a pro, meaning that im playing suboptimally

[worthy nest]

im currently p2 in 2's and p1 in 1's

[cosmic blaze]

You and everyone else

[cedar chasm]

because it was easily punishable, im bad at noticing stuff like that

[worthy nest]

i only have around 110 hrs of gameplay

i peaked d1 in 2's then deranked quickly to p2 haha

[cosmic blaze]

We are going in circles, without seeing idk. If you’re so certain its js a mistake on ur side why on discord abt it respectfully?

[cedar chasm]

i didnt start the argument, someone else said that the play was good

[cosmic blaze]

It was as he scored from it no?

[cedar chasm]

and i said that i disagreed

[cedar chasm]

he scored on me sure but am i a top player? no im not

[cosmic blaze]

Neither is he

Pros are irrelevant in ur games for the next 14k hours

[cedar chasm]

what u are saying is that if i roll the ball at 1kph against a silver its a good play?

[cosmic blaze]

And mine dw

[gusty sandal]

Just bc a pro can predict it doesn't mean it isn't a good play

[cosmic blaze]

Anything resulting in a goal against a real opponent was good play to make

[peak vapor]

Hi I`am a completly noob in this game how can I sen this group questions in #looking-for-group

[cedar chasm]

a good play is something that would work against most people

[cosmic blaze]

Type /looking-for-group

[peak vapor]

thy

[cosmic blaze]

But RL is a mental game and plays work based on opponent

[cedar chasm]

i can probably score on a silver by just backing up into the ball, so that means its a good play then?

[gusty sandal]

Based on your logic, how many pros are there and how many players are there that isn't pro?

[cosmic blaze]

If u was also silver it would be pretty hype

[cedar chasm]

the point is he didnt know what kind of opponent he was facing LOL, its not like he did it after realizing my playstyle

[cosmic blaze]

As others have said its early game and throwing in a ridiculous challenge isnt a bad idea

[cedar chasm]

he was most likely higher than me, i dont know his rank because he was lying about it and sayinfg he was plat 1

[green crystal]

anyone p1 wanna 1v1

[versed jolt]

Anyone wanna help or grind with me to c3? I'm c2 EU?

[cosmic blaze]

It could also just come down to confidence he js probably didnt care, maybe smurfin

[cedar chasm]

and please dont start the argument that a plat 1 beat a c2

[peak vapor]

and by looking vor a group wath means division

[cedar chasm]

which results in bad plays

[cosmic blaze]

Rank

[cosmic blaze]

Not if they work

[cedar chasm]

against someone lower rank than yiu?

[peak vapor]

and where you can see yyour rank

[gusty sandal]

@formal pewter i can 1v1 now

[cosmic blaze]

Well technically good play but just cringe

[cedar chasm]

a good play against me, not a good play in general lol

[worthy lily]

Can someone 1v1 me so I can learn, I'm silver 2

[cedar chasm]

if he was playing someone his rank, it wouldnt have worked

[brazen oxide]

I will

[worthy lily]

Okay

[brazen oxide]

My user is in my bio

[cosmic blaze]

It couldve, its a silly hypothetical tho the exact situation is unlikely to be seen again

[gusty sandal]

Can i join the private match, i wanna 1v1 someone too

[brazen oxide]

Sure

You can add me too ill accept

[cosmic blaze]

Have you watched the encounter from his pov? Maybe he turned and felt he could challenge fast enough to catch u off guard

[trail cave]

any1 want to do some 1v1s

[cedar chasm]

could have and would ahve is different, all we know is that the chances of it working would be less than 50 percent

[brazen oxide]

Will you be joining us?

[trail cave]

any1 gc or champ?

[cosmic blaze]

Bro people will try and catch u off guard in this game, he got a goal it was a good play

[cedar chasm]

He got a goal against a lower rank player

[cosmic blaze]

It dsm what pros would do or any other rank, all that matters is ur current opponent

[cedar chasm]

Something that works against a champ does not mean it works against GCs ssls and pros

[cosmic blaze]

Bc he caught u off guard

[cedar chasm]

Me specifically

[cosmic blaze]

The rank doesnt give him the skill its the decision making

[cosmic blaze]

Yes you specifically his opponent

[cedar chasm]

I can bet you that if you go for that exact same play on a pro he would score on you

[gusty sandal]

so you don't the variables and your guessing the statistic things and saying its true?

[cosmic blaze]

Surely you’re js trolling now

You are incomparable to a pro

A pro would have done nothing u did in that whole game and neither for ur opponent

[cedar chasm]

You could score off of it too, anyone could, it's a bad play against anyone, only worked against me

[cosmic blaze]

Pros catch other pros off guard, it doesnt look as stupid but its the same principle

[gusty sandal]

@cedar chasm every game is unique

[cosmic blaze]

Well you was the only other person in the match

[versed jolt]

Anyone wanna help or grind with me to c3? I'm c2 EU?

[cedar chasm]

Did he know exactly who I was though? You are assuming he had mind read?

Like wtf are you talking about

[cosmic blaze]

Im assuming he turned thought u wanted to take ur time and challenge and scored on u

He had more aura

[cedar chasm]

Point is that even if I wanted to take my time j could just flip forwards and win the challenge, something ANYONE is capable of doing

[cosmic blaze]

Why didnt u

What was ur intention

[cedar chasm]

Because I didn't know his playstyle so I assumed he was gonna fake because that challenge was dumb on paper

It literally didn't give him anything

[cosmic blaze]

So u was just sat there waiting for nothing

[cedar chasm]

Exactly, which is only me and not other people

[cosmic blaze]

Id challenge u too

[cedar chasm]

You wouldn't know it was me though? What's ur point. He didn't know if I was gonna sit or not

It was done very early in the game too meaning he didn't even get to see my playstyle

[cosmic blaze]

But you got to see his (very aggressive with risky challenges)

U should he grateful for his challenge

[cedar chasm]

True, which as I said many times it was a mistake I didn't adapt to it, but doesn't negate the fact that it was a dumb challenge

[cosmic blaze]

It was a great challenge

He got a goal from it, won the ball.

[turbid birch]

i need help

[cedar chasm]

Against 1 person

[cosmic blaze]

With

[turbid birch]

air dribble

[cosmic blaze]

Top tier ragebaiter

[turbid birch]

i sent 2 videos in #gameplay-highlights u can check them i still dont know what mistakes im doing

[cedar chasm]

If 9000/10000 people would have punished the challenge, it means it's a dumb challenge

I just HAPPENED to be in the other 1000

Which is a thing he DIDNT know

[cosmic blaze]

I saw one, id say u wanna match the balls speed abit better on setup

Try keep it closer as you jump off the wall the way, ur first touches are good

[turbid birch]

how do i do that i feel like im doing the setup wrong

[cosmic blaze]

I would suggest learning in freeplay

[cosmic blaze]

Probably bc ur using a training pack when u should focus on setup

[turbid birch]

how do i do that what i am doing is braking then tornado spin to adjust my face to ball

[cosmic blaze]

With ur setup, u match the balls speed then boost into the ball and jump at the same time

That will make u follow it closely

[cosmic blaze]

Its a dumb argument, this is 1 situation that happened in ur game

[turbid birch]

ok ty

[cosmic blaze]

Gl

[cedar chasm]

He kept doing it over and over

[cedar chasm]

Not exactly the same scenario but similar

[cosmic blaze]

Well you kept letting it work, sounds like he did what he shouldve

If one playstyle is working u wouldnt switch it

[cedar chasm]

Why go for it in the first place is my question

[cosmic blaze]

One where the player is certain he has time, then the opponent challenges - this is very likely winnable

[cedar chasm]

I saw him challenge so I could win, as I said I didn't because I wasnt expecting him to actually do it

[cosmic blaze]

Yeah he outplayed you

Js how players will fake challenge all game then throw in instant challenges to catch off guard

He js did the reverse

[cedar chasm]

He didn't insta challenge lol, he gave me a full 2 seconds to react which I did but I didn't think he would actually do it

I said he was midfield , so think how long it takes to turn around from midfield and go to the corner

[cosmic blaze]

So he saw u wasnt doing anything and challenged sound like common sense?

[cedar chasm]

Why did he come up to me in the first place??

[cosmic blaze]

To force ur play

Which u didnt do, then he challenged

[cedar chasm]

To force me do what? I could still challenge him LOL

[cosmic blaze]

U say ur sat in the corner, he comes up, u do nothing, so he challenges.

[cedar chasm]

Why would he come up with 0 boost? If he forced a play he would get scored on since I had taken midboost

[cosmic blaze]

To make a play, if u have possession my goal is to force u to flip/flick the ball away

If u dont, i challenge

[trail cave]

stalling

bluffing

[cosmic blaze]

Pads all the way back and speedflip

[lavish mason]

are u still about that one chall u ve been arguing for pasrt 3 hours

[cosmic blaze]

Fr? Ive been at this like 30mins

[cedar chasm]

But I could just flick the ball towards his net immediately

[trail tapir]

Yo

[trail tapir]

what's going on

[cosmic blaze]

Okay and he could save it and physco it in ur net but he didnt

[cedar chasm]

Save it with 0 boost?

[cosmic blaze]

Guy got challenged in corner by opponent with 0 boost, says the opponent made a bad play but he scored.

[cosmic blaze]

Is there not 100 boost worth of pads on the way back from ur corner to his net

[trail tapir]

which corner and what's his rank

[cosmic blaze]

d3 and his own corner

[trail tapir]

he probably got demolished in a 50 then

[cedar chasm]

Oh, you meant save the shot, yes. That would be the optimal play actually LOL

[cosmic blaze]

Hes not happy that his opponent made the play as it was ‘stupid’ everyone else is saying thats what makes it smart including me

[trail tapir]

its a skill issue not knowing how to deal with 0 boost players because they're so predictable

[trail tapir]

debetable

[cosmic blaze]

If it worked it worked

[woeful haven]

Anyone wanna play the pentathalon for platinum rank

[trail tapir]

if he knew what he was doing an opponent with 0 boost in his corner is an easy goal for him

[cedar chasm]

It worked against me, couldn't that have been just pure luck though?

[woeful haven]

Who’s plat

[trail cave]

me

[cosmic blaze]

He thought he had time and thats what made it a good challenge, he didnt expect it and it worked. Obviously he shouldve played it better tho lol

[woeful haven]

Alr hope on my private server

Name is

[trail tapir]

I cant really be a judge of anything if I didn't see the challenge

[forest hinge]

plat 3

[broken portal]

why do u even want a higher rank if u can't get it urself?

[forest hinge]

my peak is d2 this szn but stupid solo Q tm8s

[barren hamlet]

cant always blame your tm8s if you want to improve

[tacit marlin]

[wind mirage]

will slamming the ball in freeplay help with my fundamentals

[tacit marlin]

yes

[wind mirage]

ok

[barren hamlet]

@wind mirage yes you can do that to help with all of them

[wind mirage]

bc it helps with reads?

or how does it help

[forest hinge]

ok so i’m as good as a D3 but i just haven’t been doing great lately so no one will play with me?

if anyone wants to add me it’s

LEVI_DUNKS777 i’m actually rlly good trust

[wind mirage]

huh?

[wind mirage]

soloq q i always solo q

[forest hinge]

o

[wind mirage]

ive gottenn to c3 solo q

[barren hamlet]

it will it help with reads shots catchs first touches controlled touchs and everything in between

[wind mirage]

even if i jus go full speed and jus hit it randomly?

or should i aim for certain partso f the map

[broken portal]

i went from dia 1 to plat 2 to dia 2 in 1 sesaon bad tm8's ain't a excuse

[barren hamlet]

well your supposed to do it with intent to work on specific things

like bang it off the walls and corners to work on reads

[wind mirage]

guess ill work on more accuracy

[finite crest]

can we run 1v1 i m d3-c1?

[barren hamlet]

bang it off the wall into the middle of the field to work on catches

[wind mirage]

im not warmed up but ig

[forest hinge]

bad tm8 are for sure an excuse

[barren hamlet]

no

[wind mirage]

no

[finite crest]

i m playing bad today

[barren hamlet]

they are not

[wind mirage]

since ur sucha low rank, you could be doing worse than them

[broken portal]

defo not

[wind mirage]

kraine. add me

[finite crest]

ok

u can add me back

[wind mirage]

add me

just send me it

[barren hamlet]

points dont matter you should not be judging how well you did based of points its more about your positioning and keeping rotatation tight and keeping possesion and alot of that isnt reflected in points so you could have played terrible but banged the ball all over the field and got points like crazy but you werent doing your job so you played worse

doesnt matter if your tm8 wasnt doing theirs you can win just by doing your job

which i dont know everything and i could be wrong but i mean scoring is the most imprtant thing but in my eyes its more imprtant to do these things because if your just giving possession for free your losing

[brazen oxide]

Some of the best teammates I've had would always have lower points than me simply because they know where to be at what time

[barren hamlet]

exactly my view of things doing the right thing being at the right place even if you miss you might force an opponent to do something ei flicking it go up for a ball giving your tm8 an opening

[jolly wyvern]

HOW DO I EVEN GET OUT OF PLAT IN THIS GAME, IN 2V2??? 😤🤬🤬

[wind mirage]

defense

[barren hamlet]

the basics flicking dribbling shooting train those nothing else

[orchid dock]

anybody wanna 1v1? i’m gold 2 nd js tryna get better at 1s

add me LEVI_DUNKS777

[broken portal]

ye i think so to tho can't remember much tbh

idk man those are so few and far between that the passes coming from you arent the best or things along that line man until you see that its not all their fault and there are things you should work on if you wanna improve then youll never rank up man

[quaint flame]

yo whats a good way to learn air roll left

[trail tapir]

losfeld method

[lofty spade]

alright so im just stuck in my rank
im improving as a player a lot having the basics ground control and flicks to be able to score 75% of the times of off oportunities. When I play with randoms i just win and lose and stay in same elo but when i played with a buddy who is diamond 3 (im high diamond 1 low d2) i was able to keep up consistently and carry my own. I went from plat 1 to plat 3 in 1s but my 2s rank is just the same.

[turbid birch]

guys how much time it took yall to master or learn air dribble

[frail solar]

Prob like a week

To actually get the ball towards the net but after that Freeplay literally everytime you in queue or just for fun to freestyle or whatever helps a lot

[trail cave]

can anyone help me with my speed flips

[frail solar]

Like in game ?

[trail cave]

ye

idk how to rlyl do them

[frail solar]

I'll be hopping on in a min but an easy way is to like start on your flip like normally but right before you go to slight right or left

And jump

[lofty spade]

what 🤣

its better to just go watch a tutorial than trynna explain it

[frail solar]

You explain it mf I show better than I teach and every kickoff I either dust em on get it right where my tm8 needs it

[frail solar]

Idek why I tried explaining

[lofty spade]

buddy why so angry

[frail solar]

Idk

[lofty spade]

what did i do

diagonal flip into flip cancel and airoll thats the gist but its all about timing

[frail solar]

Nothing brotha it's how talk

[trail cave]

confused lol

[frail solar]

If you can't do speed flips your screwed in high ranks

[lofty spade]

well hes learning so most likely hes around plat/diamond

[frail solar]

You'll prob have to watch a tutorial tbh when I get on I'm grinding ranked for like champ

Ye true

[lofty spade]

im diamond and ive been learning them and am somewhat consistent

[frail solar]

Can probably get champ alone just mastering speed flips and game sense

[lofty spade]

and get somewhat good teamates

[mint maple]

Can someone coach me im hardstuck gold 1

[lofty spade]

been stuck in the same rank in 2s and im improving in every other gamemode

[lofty spade]

hit the ball consistently with power

youll get plat 2 off that easily

[frail solar]

I almost got champ but I got too cocky solo queueing

[mint maple]

Yo

Did u not hear me

Hardstuck

Not gonna help if i alr do it consistently

[trail cave]

my issue is I don't know if I'm doing speed flips correctly

[lofty spade]

A503-264C-A7EB-D282

if you have bakkesmod even better

[frail solar]

You'll be able to tell

[trail cave]

I'm on ps4

[frail solar]

You get the trail thing quick right when you land

[lofty spade]

the map alone is still fine

[frail solar]

Just practice freeplay

[lofty spade]

not really

you could think you have it when your not even close

[lofty spade]

just go to the map

[trail cave]

ima do it rn but then the other issue is how I do it on kickoff

[lofty spade]

the map

i sent you try it

the plugin is just to see where youre going wrong wether its the angle or not cancelling fast enough

[frail solar]

Idk what to say man

It takes too many hours

[lofty spade]

i get the trial with a side flip

[frail solar]

Ah so ye

[lofty spade]

i learnt in about 2 days a week for consistency

[frail solar]

Idk what I was doing back in like 2020 💀

[lofty spade]

like i never cancel fast enough on my flips around 75ms when recomended is like 50

[frail solar]

But the hardest mechanic I tried was a reset musty I still can't

I can hit a double but nothing else

[lofty spade]

mechanics are delusional

learn ground control and if you master that you can easily get c2 maybe 3

a simple double jump with the ball on your car is enough to get past diamonds like 80% of the times

[trail cave]

dude I'm like .2 seconds off the ball

[lofty spade]

ya thats what i mean its difficult

especially to get the final touch

[frail solar]

I'll try but I'm aerial

[lofty spade]

@trail cave

do you have anyway of showing controller inputs on ps4

[trail cave]

wsp

wdym

like the yt vids where the got controller at bottom?

[lofty spade]

like a simple overlay ya

[trail cave]

nah idk how

[lofty spade]

idrk how to help then im only diamond and i know how to speedflip but nothing more

[trail cave]

can u send like a clip of u doin this training pack

[lofty spade]

ill try gimme a couple attempts to hit it

[trail cave]

bet

[lofty spade]

i dont think i can send here ill send in clips

[chrome dirge]

can anyone help me with rapid resets pls

[trail cave]

alr alr

wait where's the clips chanel

[lofty spade]

#gameplay-highlights

[lofty spade]

i sent it there

[trail cave]

it's difficult

I found this yt vid idk if it's accurate or not

[lofty spade]

it took me 2 days to get my first touch

now i can do it around 1 in 10

[cyan sage]

tbf u don’t need a perfect speedflip

[lofty spade]

theres a little margin of error yes but not a lot

[tired quiver]

Any ssls/ gc have an alt acc to help me im c1 but teammates are brain dead bro

[cyan sage]

💔💔

[trail cave]

so it should be fine that vid I sent?

[tired quiver]

Someone needs to help me

[cyan sage]

only thing that matters is ur flip at the end

[outer tundra]

so are you

[tired quiver]

I’m not but okay

[outer tundra]

well rank up then

[lofty spade]

cancel more important imo

[tired quiver]

I don’t belong in c1

[outer tundra]

yes you do

[tired quiver]

Well I don’t lil bro

[outer tundra]

if you dont belong to c1 you would have no problems getting out
