This is what a DIAMOND 1v1 Player looks like in 2024?! | Road to SSL (EP. 4) | Rocket League 

16:29 the guy watching this video rn thinking "this mfer" 😂

I was the last player, ohmie, in this video. Honestly I could tell right away this player was infinitely better than me. Mostly bc of the zap dash out of the gate lol, but also because he was always one step ahead of me. I was in a long session of ones at that point and my brain was essentially turned off lol. Super cool getting to play squishy though, although I wish I could have had a better showing.

imagine 2 pros doing an educational road to SSL and then playing each other in a low rank. that would be hilarious.

it feels weird that I played comp like 2 hours ago (on d2) and now I can see Squishy just basically babysitting them 🤣🤣

imo you should probably lose a few game to stay down in diamond for a little longer as it seems thats where most people seem to get stuck at. maybe seeing a few more games would help them identify their own weaknesses in game

its so refreshing seeing the kind of players I lose to get absolutely clowned by squish 😂😂

half flipping in diamond is pretty standard now days

On EU-Servers, at around D3 there are more and more GCs who are just freestyling and practice their mechanics, but when you break through that you can get to around C2 when you are GC in other game modes.

squshy making us diamond 1v1s look like babies lol

The one thing ive noticed from every vid is how much squishy uses drifting to turn and how much it catches ppl off guard

If you spend more than 2-3 games in diamond you would see flip resets and smurfs. Multiple big name content creators have already deep dived this and came to the conclusion a lot of smurfs live in that d-c1/2 range

Well spotted Ohmie

In my honest opinion, you are all free to agree or disagree. I am comparing this to how Flakes did his series. I feel like Squishy is a bit too mechanical and can at times be ''competitive'' in the mindset if he meets players actual capable at times and does things the rank really can't do. When Flakes did his it was so basic and felt reasonable compared to what Squishy is doing. I might be wrong, just my thoughts watching these that i feel like he could dumb down some of the more mechanical parts. The camera work, the power slides, the dashing on kick offs. Most low ranks will be as basic as it gets, try to mimic the opponent as much as possible. In the end you should win regardless because you have better game sense, that should be what is showcased and taught to people that mechanics is not everything. You can climb ranks by being simple, smart and consistent and not be a lunatic thinking you are some hotshot jumping from the ceiling etc. Teach away the fundamentals, i know that words probably means triple flip reset ceiling musty flick YY ladderstall No scope across the map to some of you weirdo's.....but it's not

not squishy playing diamonds with the SSL decal on 😭

"This is someone who's supposed to be higher." Yo this guys just looks like what Diamond is to me. I never played 1s until this season and I am D2 atm; this guys just looks diamond to me.

First diamond player had that sauce

I am d2 in 1s and champ 1 in 2s. Champ and diamond is so difficult to get through compared to any other rank below because of the inconsistency with your teammates and opponents. I like seeing a pro of squishy’s caliber seeing exactly what the average player sees and is genuinely impressed that the lower ranks have come so far in skill levels since they were there.

It's insane. I've seen so many videos on improvement but this shows me so many new things I should learn. I feel I play always better after watching a few and remind myself of this play style.

Squishy: Who squishy is?

some gc 2s mains players dont play 1s that much so maybe thats why some diamond players are so consistent

Loving the content. I REALLY liked the RLCS content with Kep and Turbo/Kofir. Would love to see more of that. Also dying to see you do “The Path” on Steam Workshop

Man you should do this on 3vs3 It would be awesome!

youve heard of grandplat but have you ever heard of super sonic diamond?

most champ 1\2 in 1v1 are around grand champ in 2s unless they are 1s grinders. most players until a higher rank dont take 1s seriously or dont play it often

„the mechanical legends in diamond“ 😂 - really enjoying this mix of education and humor in those vids

Squishy you are such a troll LOL.

This is so cool! I play the sideswipe version on my iPad.

Diamond is most unbalanced division in entire game, more unbalanced than SSL with newbies and professionals. One game you can play against guy who dribbles entire map, does double touches etc and another game you play against a guy who cannot hit the ball and he misses to hit the ball in most cases. If you play on your own just for fun, then for thousand of hours you will be able to do something "crazy" like double touches, advanced air dribbles. Those are the players who do not learn and just play for fun and gather experience with the time without putting extra time to learning advanced mechanics in free play.

lmao @ 9:00 minutes, the way that game finished was classic RL

Something Ive tested and found is that on my other account(that I dont play on) im diamond in 1s and its so easy but on my main im plat 3 and its so fucking hard with 1/4 of games usually being against smurfs or people who "dont really play 1s"

Bro you make it look so easy, for me these are like ssl games. I struggle a lot in comp and in 1s the people you run into actually hit good shots if you shadow too much Im just plat 2 in 1s

Our lord and savior movin bean

Im d3 in 1's and c3 in 2s and 3s and it feels like a lot of the same ppl. Occasionally I run into a true 1s main who is mechanically diamond but totally understands 1's but mostly opponents are able to flick well air dribble and will stay behind the ball if they mess up and can get a reset but generally in non threatening situations so maybe threatening ceiling or flip resets probably 3 out of 10 attempts. 1s is definitely thicker down in diamond then other two game modes

SquishyMuffinz, I love your channel so much, I just had to subscribe!

squishy can predict the opponets next movie but ohmie can read squishy like a book xD

PLEASE DO THIS SERIES IN EU SERVERS!!! it would be fun to see the diff in skill between eu and na servers :)

Squish trollin ohmie in the chat lmao

Crossed ohme up on the last goal 😂😭😭

You gotta remember that diamond players are actually champ players in twos. I’m champ 2/3 in twos and diamond 2/3 ones A lot of people have mechs but don’t play a lot ones so we don’t have the ones mentality down.

sqiushy im d3 and in 1s im d1 and the players i go up against are nothing like d1 in 2s. d1 in 2s are pretty bad compared to d3s. theres also some low champs in d1 1s as well, there not smurfing its just genuinely harder to rank up.

I’m champ 2 in 2s and 3s, I cannot make it to D2 in 1s lol. Granted I only play a few games a season of 1s but still. Those diamond lobbies in 1s are sweaty haha

9:00 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

EU ranked feels so different, I gotta move somewhere else to get out of champ😭

Can you add your controller overlay? I feel like that’d be really helpful to understand how your using poweslide/boost/ball cam at moments like 11:55, among other things

How can you come across a mythical double flip resetting diamond when you only play like around 4 matches in diamond? You have to at least play about 20 or so matches to see them

Me, a diamond 1 div 4 in ones and champ 1 div 2 in doubles, watching the very first game seems to be an ordinary game for that rank so yeah, the average experience I'd say

most diamond 1 in 1v1 play like that first guy to me

No bullshit I was playing 3s in d1 today and my opponents were hitting full field psycho passing plays I still beat them tho lol

hey squishy, just to let you know incase you need to adjust your play style, most diamond 1v1 players are around d3 - c1 :)

I’m gc in 2s ranked D3 in 1s. Most people I run into in diamond 3 can air dribble, flip reset somewhat, and have pretty good flicks overall.

hey, squishy ive been hardstuck in diamond, i been practicing hitting the ball in freeplay, but it feels like nothing works, can you help me please?

gaslighting that diamond 3 like that was crazy

I think a lot of good (champ or higher) 2s and 3s players use 1s as a warmup. I never play 1s and i do it as a warmup and lower ranks will call me out for smurfing sometimes.

the last guy knew it was you, the intimidation factor plays a big role

I’m champ 2 in 2s but d1 in 1s. Not sure what the deal is but there are definitely mythical diamonds out there that style on me

When Squishy says he's doing a side flip for his kickoff at 6:35, does he really mean a speed flip?

not gonna lie the first dude looked like my gold ranked lobbies

feel like the vast majority of diamond 1v1 players are, or have been champ - gc before. im d2 1's and see champ tourney winners very often, and 1 or 2 ex gc tags each day or other day.

I meet people in diamond all the time that have very high technical skill like flip resets but they have no game sense they don’t give any thought to rotating and passing is a foreign concept.

It would be nice to solo in 3v3 to SSL. I think this would be also a fun challenge for the new season :)

D1,2 in ones are usually C1/C2 people in twos/threes

I feel like this and higher are my normal diamond lobbies i swear 😅

GOAT

Saying you got the game a couple months ago when you’re Diamond 3 in 1s 💀

as a diamond 1v1 player i can confirm this is true

It’s exactly like you said in all the low rank 1v1s plat/diamond when your legit stuck there you run into people of all ranks in the other modes but just don’t play 1s cause majority of players don’t like 1s it’s not even that they are smurfing I feel like they just don’t play 1s

No one plays 1s so their 1s rank never equates to 2v2 or 3v3

ineould love to encounter him hahaha but game oushes him way to fast so he can get a regularity d3 or a gc in 2s low in ones

If I play exactly like that diamond 1 (first one in the video), what exactly should I be working on? I know my challenges are bad but how exactly can I work on that?

I guess I’m not supposed to be a plat haha because I can air dribble and flip reset like a champ but I lack necessary game sense so I think that’s why I’m still plat I need to work on predicting and controlling the ball more

2:20 no as someone who dips in diamond this is either normal or on the lower side from my expirience

I made it to gc 1 in twos and 3's but float between d1 and d2 in 1's. I can do some advanced mechanics to an ok standard and in general decent enough car control so the diamonds can definitely surprise people. I just don't take is seriously and am trying to go off the wall and ceilings rather than being patient and waiting for mistakes. It's more like practice times for 2's and 3's.

Im only high plat and I have been resetted on many times. One perfect flip reset musty in my top right

First game is pretty standard tbh even in hight plat 2

what song is in the background

should look to give them acouple goals. show us how to come back

needs more last minute styling

what is up with US 1v1 ranks? those diamants are way worse than plats in EU. the difference is actually crazy. flip resets, air dribbles and more is a common thing in plat and thats why its so annoying. btw gc player here except solos

playing keep away at the end... poor guy.

imagine just chillin in playlist and you get paired against squishy

Do road to SSL on Nintendo switch

Just got back into this game I’m so rusty 😫

Last guy was goated

Is Squishy really playing with the SSL decal? 😂

"We have to look out for smurfs as well, that might be an issue getting into this rank." - Squish Hmm.............

Squish, most of the Diamonds in 1v1 are actually Champs in 2v2 and 3v3s

That second player was so mad 😠

I'm in diamond in ones and I can speed flip every kickoff.

i finally got to see a vid right after he uploads it

I literally got clipped on everyday by diamond 3 players ( Im GC in ALL modes except 1s) its Crazy How 1s its so dificult tô get out diamond

I woulda lost it if he said a me save in diamond?!?!

Play on IND rank if ur really wanna see how hard rank players can be

Yeah thats just diamond things have changed alot lol

I'm Champ 1 in 2s & 3s but Diamond 1 in 1s haha

I’m diamond but i can do a lot of the mechanics in game. But im to impatient so I just send every ball lol

the simple stuff *the 76mph ball heading to goal in a d1 lobby* (. .)

I’m hard stuck champ 2 in 1s but I feel like I could be gc1 so many smurfs

I can’t wait to see high champ

After this do a series where you play against us in 1v1, and try to guess the range

love it
