A C1 asked me if I wanted to do a comp. And I can't arial at all, i only practice full speed power goals and defence coming out of the net. I'm very basic
alright, I'm gonna train as the *One Punch Man of rocket league* from now on 100 x Ground / Wall to Air Dribbles 100 x Double Taps 100 x Flip Resets / Double Flip Resets 100 x Flicks 100 x Bounce Dribbles 100 x Ceiling Shots Daily (with variety) edit: alright, it was just a Joke but since u all took it serious and answered supportive I'll start today with the *One Shot Man* training (probably won't do 100 each every day dough) I am a fresh GC1 (but really bad at the left wall) and these are my first scores, tell me when to update: *82/100 Wall to Air Dribbles* (left side better because of more focus and less air roll) *48/100 Double Taps* (bad setups and focus but I am better in game) *73/100 Flip Resets* (+a 140 kph ground pinch xD) *86/100 Ground to Air Dribbles* (starting from a ground dribble was easier for me, should do it more often in game) *76/100 Flicks* (only around 4 no flicks, the other ones over the goal) *84/100 Bounce Dribbles* *81/100 Ceiling Shots* (confident that 95/100 are possible without trolling, did a lot dTaps easily, maybe should've done that for the dTaps, ended with a clean pogo xD) *7/100 Double Flip Resets* (only 1 on right side, 2am, probably too tired, I even did a maktuf reset before and used 2x Resets in ranked [not many dough]) These are probably not 100% accurate since I did these from midnight to half past 2 and I always counted 10, wrote them down and repeat
I'm c3 as well, but I've trained way more time in mechanics than actually playing ranked. I think I could comfortably hit 60/100 flip resets and maybe like 10-100 double flip resets. Doubles are hard, but once you get in the groove for single resets it's really easy to just keep going. Might have to do some testing on this.
Also C3, no shot I’m hitting 10/100 resets. Don’t practice them, never have even tried practicing them. What I’ve learned: probably should start practicing them😂
lmao I'm D3/C1 and I'd go 0/100 on most of these xD I'm super non-mechanical, and on KBM. I would probably do okay-ish with the flicks (30?) and dismal with air dribbles or double taps. Bounce dribbles would probably give me the least trouble if I did them the same way the SSL did it; if I had to make two touches before going for a shot that'd be a lot more difficult, I feel like.
I feel like it's so important as a community to have videos like these where people can really see the difference between the highest ranks in the game. In my opinion this video just helps prove that you really don't need a lot of these mechanics as much as you think you do UNTIL you're pushing through GC and being able to score these shots on a whim can be the difference of winning or losing.
Awesome video CBell, not everything has to be Emmie’s journey to GC and I really enjoy these type of comparison vids. Also, was what you said at the end of the vid a hint at a return of the 30-day SSL challenge? Or something new? Really excited for future uploads, I’ll be waiting!
Food for thought: There's a very important factor in this entire video that I just watched that I think was completely glazed over. "What is the emotional state of the SSL player during every shot" That metric? That very key metric is something that it seems like every single rocket league video I watch seems to kind of miss when making videos liken to this. And I'm not saying things like "Oh they were sad they missed " but more like, "How confident are they in his shot, this angle, the side of the wall they took the shot from, consistency in their form." etc etc. Which quite frankly this led me to a really amazing discovery. Every attempted shot you made you go into it with a specific mindset for each angle and a preconceived of focused mixed with CONFIDENCE. you don't just focus on a shot, you have confidence leading up to the performance of landing a specific shot in various ways from a multitude of angles. Meanwhile we had a clear expression of how you felt during your attempts, but almost nothing from the side of the SSL player. How do they accept failure on a particular thing vs how they accept failure? Every missed attempt is a failure, what does that mean to you? What does that mean to other players at your rank or higher? How does your emotional acceptance of failure affect your game play, confidence and consistency? Idk just something I noticed and may be completely wrong on this but felt like saying something.
The extra bounce on the bounce dribble made all the difference. It puts you closer to net but also makes you think about getting the second touch over the shot you were actually counting
I really, REALLY liked this video. The philosophy of being realistic and setting expectations and goals (pun intended) for yourself is awesome. I think this might be my favorite video of yours.
yeah I know that's what everyone is waiting for. Unfortunately every upload until she reaches GC will most likely not only be her journey since that journey could take upwards to a year (or more). To fill the void in between progress, I hope videos like this and other fun ones will help pass the time.
@@CBellRL no one expects a new video and a higher rank from her every week or month. we've all been playing for years and know that it takes sooo much time to improve and rank up. when it happens it will be even more hype tho
The brutal honesty in this video is refreshing. I know that hyping yourself up and showing your best is what everybody likes to do but I appreciate you showing the failures and being honest with what you think you should work on. Great video to learn from!
Love this video - really highlights the difference in consistency, when it comes to mechanics! I’m c1 and pretty sure Id score 5-10 out of 100 on most of these, 0/100 on the rest. I keep winning games though because I just wait for my opponents to miss most of these shots and then I roll it slowly into their net…
I hate to be that guy, but it's too strong i can't restrain myself. I have to spread the knowledge. 19:23 it was a murie reset. Still, great video, as always =) It makes me wanna try but only with wall drags and hook shot since they're the only mechanics i can hit .. maybe .. sometimes =)
Hey man, just wanted to thank you. I've watched many air dribble tutorials and hit a wall on getting better at it. After watching the air dribble section of this video something clicked and I'm finally seeing more progress.. That lift off the wall and the first touch you do at 2:25 is a perfect example of using air roll to make little adjustments. Thanks again dude
For ground to air dribbles, keep ur ball cam on for the first 1 or 2 touches. Since ur going sort of fast, it helps in seeing just how far underneath the ball u are so u know where to hit on it if u get me
thats good for breaking down that what mechanic you need to focus on training more then the others… especially when you are using them regularly in game
Would really like to see a video like this where it's a SSL vs a true RLCS pro, like AppJack or Squishy. I think it would be very interesting to see the results. I think it would be interesting to see other ranks as well, like Plat vs Diamond, Gold vs Plat, etc (of course, only the mechanics they "should" know for their respective ranks).
In case people don’t know yet, this video is exactly why you should train in awkward situations. That way, if you get a bad first touch, you know how to use it.
i think on the ground to air dribbling part of the problem was you were hitting the ball up too hard and not straight and then trying to catch back up to it instead of lightly tapping it up and then being able to control the ball/your car better like Void was doing
The reason void is hitting more flip resets is because he is positioning the ball just a little bit further away from him but stalls until he can make sure to get the reset and he puts more distance and hits it more in the center of the field but not too much
I tried this as a C1-C2 honest results: Air dribbles: 12/20 (60%) Bounce dribble/hook: 13/20 (65%) Double taps: 10/20 (50%) Flip reset goals: 12/20 (60%) Ground to air dribble: 14/20 (70%) Flicks: 14/20 (70%) Ceiling shots 5/20 (25%) - i suck so bad! Any tips on how to improve consistency for ceiling and air mechs? have memorised each setup
I loved this video! Most content creators show highlights and we get the sense they are perfect. This was a gutsy video, and it gave you and it gives us a way to benchmark our skills as we progress! Thanks!
As a Diamond the thing I noticed most is that your setups are practically perfect every time. I feel like that's the first thing I need to try and get right.
I wanted to type this when you were gonna upload the next Emmie's journey to GC but since the season is coming close to an end, I thought I may as well write this here (doubt it will be read though lol). Your Emmie road to GC series made someone who was stuck in c1-c2 for over 2 years and was playing RL since 2018 finally hit GC and is gonna get his first ever title in 4 days. Your series made me realize that you can get to as high as I did without even noticing what mistakes you did. I was replay analyzing myself every now and then, but for some reason I couldn't figure out the mistakes I was doing nor was I able to understand how people were doing the basics better than me when I swore I was "replicating" what they were doing. I didn't realize how bad I was committing myself by jumping carelessly, how I thought I was "fast aerialing", how inconsistent I was with wall to air dribbles, how atrocious I was while collecting pads, and how bad I was with recovering. For me, the series really made me start realizing that I was holding myself back by convincing myself that I did everything but I'm simply not good enough against others. When in reality, all I needed was a direction from someone better at me, and by that I mean an actual direction, not just play freeplay and custom maps 5head type of coaching. Thank you for helping me achieve a dream I really wanted to achieve for 5 years, and it finally happened. Ill still try to see how much further my limits can go, and ill actually start to work on mechanics (I still haven't hit a single flip reset at all lol), then ill try the challenge you just did against the SSL here to improve on consistency. I doubt ill get any higher than GC1, but if I thought these last 2 years I can't get GC at all, and it happened, then who knows what my actual limit is lol. TL;DR, if you want to hit GC, watch the Emmie series and actually learn from it instead of bitching that she got picked instead of you 1heads. Maybe then you will actually hit GC instead of being stuck in plat.
Thanks for writing all of this. I’m so happy that you earned grand champ and stuck with it! I’m flattered that I was able to provide some motivation for you along the way 😁
@@CBellRL Thanks man, if I already learned this much from you, I can't wait to see what else is there to learn about as the series goes on. I really hope people actually use the series to try to improve, and not just complain for the sake of complaining.
It been said couple time but i feel the biggest difference is that Cbell was going for basic in each mechanics while Void was going for the ends of each skill except bounce dribble. Which show that the difference is bigger than just the number shown
Im gc2 in eu, i never scored double tap, or flip reset, and cant flick properly eather or airdible. So for those who cant learn new mehanics i believe its even posible to get gc3 with no mehanics, just good shooting and position. I pass a lot, and have good defence.
Even tho i'm only Plat 3/Dia 1...here's a tip for focus: Listen to music while playing, preferably with game audio off. I do that, and when i play without music i'm just a silver. AT least for me, it makes a huge difference
Here’s my tally but disclaimer, did switch to a completely new style of controller 2 days ago, still learning it. That’s no excuse tho! Air dribbles: Predicted 50, hit 72 Double taps: predicted 30, hit 50 Flip resets: predicted 40, hit 33 Ground-Air: predicted 40, hit 47 Flicks: predicted 50, hit 66 Bounce dribbles: predicted 50, got bored after hitting 24/25 Ceiling: predicted 50, hit 50! Double resets: predicted 20 hit, hit 20/101 CAUSE I NEEDED THAT LAST ONE For the record, I made my predictions before seeing theirs or how they did and tried to follow most of the rules of the challenge, only gave myself bounces on some double resets and tried to go for more than just the bare minimum on all the styles of shots. Feel free to try and guess my rank!
With void, especially at the double resets, you can just see how much control he has, like every shot looks the exact same, like they are the same replay.
My results as a Mechy gc2-gc3. All these results are honest and not altered. (First numbers were the predictions, the brackets mean what i actually did) Air dribble: 82/100 (Did 96/100) Doubletaps : 55/100 (Did 73/100) Flip resets: 81/100 (Did 85/100) Ground to airdribble: 75/100 (Did 89/100) Flicks: 89/100 (Did 87/100) Bounce dribbles : 88/100 (Did 94/100) Celling shots: 89/100 (Did 86/100) Double Flip Resets: 78/100 (Did 79/100) Would've easily don 95/100 Double flip resets if i didnt hate left wall ;) Cbell, if u are reading this, we would LOVE a sequel for this video. Put a pro on this to show us the real deal
Growth learning mindset, failure is part of the path to learning. Try to see these things as a process; you were simultaneously working out your success ratio for each mechanic *while* practising and improving those mechanics.
I think this proves that ground mechanics (flicks & bounce dribbles) are not practiced enough in the champ-gc ranks. As a champ 3 - gc1 player I notice this in my matches. A lot of people learn to dribble at gold, flick and plat and diamond, and then they think they're done and they stop practicing that in freeplay and just go for flip resets instead. But there are so many different types of ground plays that people in this rank could utilize if they learned them, and they aren't even consistent at regular front flip flicks most of the time.
me: Flip reset: 12/100 Bounce shot: 59/100 Double touch: 52/100 Wall to air dribble: 61/100 Ground to air dribble: 23/50 and 40/50 (40/50 with the rolling ball towards) Flicks: 46/100 Ceiling shot: 45/100 Double flip reset: 0/100 I'm not good at this game And I'm plat 2 in 1v1
Yeah I didn't need another reason to uninstall, but here we are. :D Bro you had some crazy good shots! Voids just...on that other level, what a machine.
Dear Cbell I started Rocket League all the way back in 2015 started playing with my family and had lots of fun. Fast forward 2018 Fortnite comes out so I stop playing Rocket League. Once Fortnite was no longer fun for me I started playing Rocket League again and enjoying it loads. The first 2 months of playing I managed to hit high silver low gold. Christmas comes, I get a pc! I start grinding Rl day and night hit plat for the 1st time ever, but then. My acc gets hacked of everything I had but I still had the acc. That made me real upset even as I had 2fa on so I took a while break. Once I got back I was ready for anything I hit d1 and just kept climbing all the way to d3. Untill being stuck un d3 for 2 seasons but still tryna grind my way out!
It really opened my eyes trying this. I scored 60/100 air dribbles. Now i thought i was better off the right wall, but i got 34/50 on the left and only 26/50 on the right
CBell should do a video on where he gets several people from each rank and tests their abilities rather than one person for the entire rank. That sounds like it would be a really fun video lol
Good video man. Honestly I'm not too sure mechanics are necessarily tied to your rank or your in-game performance in any 1s 2s or 3s. I think overdoing mechanics and overcomplicating gameplay is a big reason plats>champs (I'm champ 2 myself, cant judge on gc ofc) make so many mistakes. Mechanics are fun, but simplifying some aspects of the game really can cause your win % to climb. Although it gets boring at times =P
Hey man just because you aren’t good at something doesn’t mean you suck. It means you have room to improve and now you know exactly were you need to improve mechanically.
Great video, I thought about when cbellwas talking about focus, it may not be entirely mechanical difference, I think maybe since an SSL has more experience and muscle memory maybe it's could be more fatigue setting in because a gc or lower has to focus more for the advanced mechanics.
very amazing video but I really wanted to know what it would be like if both participants didn't try for any "nice" goals, just try to meet the test objective to see how much each percentage would go up
Falling between C1-C2 and this is what I got: 25/40 Wall to Air Dribble 19/40 Double Taps 16/40 Flip Resets 23/40 Ground to Air Dribble 33/40 Flicks 30/40 Bounce Dribbles 29/40 Ceiling Shots 1/40 Double Resets (Literally the first double I've ever hit lmao)
One thing I noticed is that Void wasn't doing 50 reps per wall during the flip resets and ceiling shots but you were. Were you just doing the 50 per wall or were you both supposed to?
personally I dont think youre trash cbell, but I do think a lot of the time that since GC was the highest rank in RL that GC's still mentally place themselves in the highest tier mindset, when the reality is that there were players who were better than SSL before the rank even released. Tests like these help showcase that every rank has its own flaws and that everyone should look to improve instead of sitting on a high horse over other players (Im looking at YOU, content that calls lower ranks sub par).
cbell: i feel like i never should be on the ground again. i want to do my airdribbles man. me: he secretly does agree with platinums going for airdribbles and flip resets
Ive done this challenge as a plat freestyler here were my stats: First off-double taps Score: Missed-66 Hit-34 Shot/goal ratio: 34% accuracy Second- single resets Score: Miss-68 Hi-32 Shot/goal ratio: 32% accuracy Third- ceiling shots Score: Miss: 40 Hit: 60 S/G ratio: 60% Fourth: wall to air dribble Score: Miss: 43 Hit:57 S/G ratio: 57% accuracy Fifth: Im suprised how close single resets was to double taps 😮 I will edit once i get the next 100 done till i do every shot on the list
I just quit rocket league as a D2... I was doing 1v1's, had the win in sight and had it ripped out of my reach at the end both time. And what finished me off was doing a ranked 2v2 solo queueing and then seeing my teammate leave right at the start of the first kick off... So yea, I'm quitting for now.
Cbell I’m the exact same way with my flick where I’m way more comfortable coming from the right side of the pitch. I do the 45 degree flick from the right side like you. But on the left side I just regular diagonal flick to the right. Hope this helps and btw we’re like the exact same skill level. You’re probs more consistent since you play more though! Keep up the good work man love the vids🔥❤️
Is crazy seeing these cars seem magnetically attracted to the ball. My car flips out of the way of wide open balls rolling at me on the ground. More often than I'd like to admit. I get worse the longer i play.
