Dark Twitch: twitch.tv/rldark1 Dark Twitter: rldark12 Twitch: / feer Twitter: / feertwitch TikTok: / feertwitch 2nd YT: @FeerPlus What player or matchup do you want to see play the most? I love seeing everyone's input!
@@TRJKwhat makes it unique is when he got the second flip he was literally next to the ball, most players at this point will try to take a 50 and recover but dark managed to get another rest under the ball and a 4th one to the top this what make it insane one
@@EEEKFUPM I can't really speak for other but I wouldve done the same thing in that situation. If anything the 4 reset is the more unique one here, but not as much as his other ones. If anything, my comments are praising the uniqueness of his other shots, not downplaying this one.
@@EEEKFUPMIdk, I feel like you just need to understand how resetting works. I can do triple resets, and his car was defo in a position to get that next reset. This shot is impressive but not unique, it’s just a quad reset
Gotta be the highest peak RL has ever seen. Sometimes when he has 0 boost his dash recoveries are so good he doesn’t need boost. He’s so versatile in every aspect it’s incredible to watch
@@based__381 bro 1's and 3's have literally never been more similar than they are now with the high importance of mechanics in 1's. Also, for basically the entire history of RLCS, some of the biggest prodigies ever made their names in ones (Firstkiller, Daniel, Zen, etc.), so your comment literally makes no sense
@@PatsBoi24even still dark isn’t a top 1s or 2s player rn, he’s arguably the best itw when it comes to mechanics but he has below average defense, a predictable play style and too much aggressive/ball chasing tendencies which is Even worse in a game mode like 3s, we saw similar things with nwpo when he first busted on but he’s since fixed and adapted, dark on the other hand has a long way to go to disciplining himself to be ready for rlcs
He's always doing something and still staying in control. I don't think there's many pros that can do that. Also his recoveries are so quick, concise and consistent those are what I'm most impressed by cause he can definitely reproduce those more than his on the ball mechs
@opliko He doesn't play well with others. He needs to work on that. I've seen him play 3s and 2s on stream, and it's like he's too fast. Doesn't take away from the fact he might be one of the mechiest players in the world.
We have to notice the level these games are played at as well: the first game, as you said, was problably played in the 1400s, tho is opponent (King di Benevento = Gladiator) usually sits in the 1500/1550 range mmr and it's not rare to see him in the top 100 leaderboard, so it was a crazy matchup which showed the difference between a knowingly solid-defensive extremely strong player (Gladiator) against a madly mechanic innovator (Dark). The second matchup is intresing again because of Dark's opponent, Killua, who is again a European very high rated (pretty often top 100) 1s player, tho differently from Gladiator he is a more aggressive/flashy player: the behavior, again, of Dark is unseen, he has crazy recoveries which allow him to go for challenges no one would try, from the use of wall dashes in a consistent and efficient way no one got to to the use of the aZapatos dashes comfortably along the game, we can see how he has raised the skill ceiling notably. If he works more on solidity and patience, we will for sure see him sit on top of the 1v1 scene.
The assertion that "uncanny equals moistable, Chief Beef" introduces an intriguing and potentially whimsical perspective. While the terms "uncanny" and "moistable" are typically not directly related, associating them in the context of Chief Beef could imply a fusion of unpredictability and adaptability. Chief Beef, perhaps symbolizing a guide or mentor figure, could advocate for embracing the unpredictable and adapting to various situations. This unique amalgamation might suggest that navigating the uncanny, or the unexpected, is a pathway to becoming more adaptable, akin to the moistable quality-something malleable and responsive to change. In this conceptual blend, Chief Beef might represent a mentorship figure encouraging individuals to find strength and growth in the uncanny, embracing the unpredictability of life.
I do it a lot out of boredom in fp, (even the reverse way, in from top of the goal upside down, wavedash on the curve, and out on the bottom), but i always thought it was too fast of a move to pull off/ time with the opponents shot, it's so crazy to see someone who can actually harness the crazy speed boost that it gives.
Holy hell I've only watched five minutes and damn, he plays exactly like I wish I could. Wavedashing off of nearly every landing, chaindashing on the wall, 180 wavedashing to turn around when convenient... I can do all of these things in isolation in freeplay, but to intelligently use them in a high level game is freaking awesome. I haven't played RL in months and this more than anything makes me want to pick up my controller.
It won't. Trust me. It's effecting the outcome of the game by 0.5% with the dashes. Also Dark isn't a high ranked player. Kaydop who only binded air roll left last year is 300 mmr above him
@@jaspuhh.that’s not true. While it won’t have a crazy effect. Pro players can definitely use the dashes to keep momentum it’s already being used now just not to that extent. Also high SSL is definitely a high rank lmao I dont know what else can be considered a high rank. He’s not a TOP player but a high rank player he definitely is.
@@desmanhope5099 I'm not saying they wont be used in pro play effectively. I'm saying it won't be a mechanic that needs to be learnt to get a higher rank. It creates too small of an impact on the whole result to be so. You're not going to be held out of a rank because 5 times in a game you didn't initiate a Jolt of speed to outpace someone in a couple challenges after landing. That's not how that works. Also you say high ssl. Dark is a 2k sitting player. 100 MMR in to ssl. That is low ssl closing in on mid SSL
5:42 getting bumped and just doing a bizarre dash back to the wall so he can keep doing wavedashes and keep pressure on zero is just so unbelievable absurd, in awe of the skill displayed
I haven’t been this stunned watching someone play in a while. He may not be the best, but his style is going to influence the foundation of the next player that’s going to be the next Zen.
This guy must have fell into a vat of adderal as a kid or something. His inputs per second must be higher than anyone else in the game. Crazy mechanics
being able to generate power on the ball that normally comes from having boost at any point without actually having boost is insane. this game gonna be completely different in five years
we have already started seing the use of crazy walldashes last season, this is just an upgrade. also, most of the insane dashing I am talking is dashing on 0 boost, so not boost heavy at all@@kennethlandis6291
@@kennethlandis6291 It feels like he uses boost because he can, not because he can't manage it. We see more and more pros using wall chain dashes allready and with a way dark uses them he only need pad of boost to be able to go for pretty much any ball that is close to the wall or ground
The diversity of Dark’s offensive arsenal makes him so entertaining to watch. However, it is his relentless speed and immaculate recoveries that make him special, IMO
11:34 It's super easy to turn around like that hence why it happens so often randomly. Just wavedash with your car slightly airrolled so one side lands first, then flip cancel the wavedash. You can hold powerslide to enhance the effect but its not always needed.
BROTHER the shot at 2:04 was fuckin RUDE, all the sudden holding still after that much chaos was brilliant (I know it's probably just a normal fake but it was really really unexpected, it was such a surprise that I yelled 'goddamn' out loud when it happened. he's just so frantic it completely didn't make sense). He's so awesome to watch, his abuse of wavedashes is inspiring and what I wanted to be when I was playing this game more. I hope he goes far, he's easily my new favorite pro if he carries on. This is the way I've always wanted to play, and the reason that 400 of my 450 hours of RL are in freeplay. Let's go Dark! Can't wait to see him on a pro team!
Holy hell I've only watched another two minutes and damn, he plays exactly like I wish I could.

Anyone remember fortnite from several years back? As people got good at building, speed builders emerged. Savage, Mongral, Erictriceps, etc. They made an unbelievable amount of mistakes because it was a ridiculous pace to play at, but they practiced for a while and now they're exceptional. I think the same thing is happening with Dark. He's pioneering this type of movement as regular.
Ive made GC and now at C3 d4. Due to the sqaush. And im so glad i saw this because im so amazed at this entire game. Literally makes me feel many ranks lower.
12:05 I had to watch this 5 times to realize he's getting a dash and extra jump on the inside of his own goal. He's so speedy some of the challenges on the walls and ceilings don't even look real
5:35 BRO I do that half flip kickoff all the time and it’s really really effective specially in flatter cars that can’t 50 like the octane like the doninus, legit blocks their shot entirely and lands in their side 90% of the time. Only thing tho is that u gotta speed flip and from there immediately half flip to go backwards so the nose of ur car faces the ceiling.
