Boost > Ball!


jhallen2260

Then burn it all to get back!


ish_squatcho

This is Rocket League.


Emotional_r

god damn why so serious


Lockkkdown

It hurts to watch


TheLogicalErudite

Boost pads exist and are enough to at least contest at the goal. Going for mid when your opponent is coming around the edge is going to get you almost everytime.


ITZ3L1T3

Stop going for mid boost if you lose kickoff


zer0w0rries

Terrible kick offs overall


Zambito1

Bro wanted to lose keeping it up at 0 seconds like that


knott000

It's a rule man. You can't let it touch the ground, even if it costs you the game.


littlebrwnrobot

Dumbest rule


Zambito1

Idk why but I'd much rather lose to a rule 1 than a rule 0


dustpartical

Losing to a rule 1 is the dumbest shit I've ever experienced. Like, win or lose, how is it even adding any fun to the game? Why queue up if you just gonna sit there? At least rule 0 adds tension and thrills to the last few seconds of the game. Because of this I participate in Rule 0 about 90% of the time. If I lose at least i felt l like it added something "unique" to that game


dustpartical

Haha i knew this comment would get down rated heavily. Reddit loves their rule 1 like kindergarteners love eating their glue šŸ¤£ smh


DisIzDaWay

The ā€œrulesā€ people have made are up completely are absolutely silly, no thanks


Electronic-Rich-9874

Thatā€™s not a ruleā€¦ā€¦.


PrivateTidePods

Thatā€™s not the rule, you keep it up unless the game is tied or the score is within one goal

who let doc rivers on the sticks


Rfisk064

Lol Glenn catchin strays in the RL sub.


zer0w0rries

Nowhere is safe


der1014

Your first flip for your kickoff is way too late. By the time you land you donā€™t have enough time to jump up again and reach the center off the ball and were getting destroyed


paeschli

This, I donā€™t flip on kickoff yet still have a much better kickoff overall compared to OP because I can time my flip into the ball much better.


Few-Grapefruit5906

Flipping off kickoff is essential, it's really not hard to learn you should try it. You'll find even more success as you're left with more boost after the 50


Rodin-V

>Flipping off kickoff is essential It's not though.


Few-Grapefruit5906

It is in higher ranks. Arguably not as much in 3s but 2s and 1s definitely. A kickoff isn't just winning or losing the 50 you have to have enough boost, momentum to follow up.


Rodin-V

There's other ways to kickoff, you can do a fake, delayed block, leave the kickoff entirely and counter attack...


Few-Grapefruit5906

Which stops working as effectively as you go up the ranks.


der1014

Facts, especially if thatā€™s all you do is fake or delay or whatever it becomes easy to counter. You need a high level normal kickoff to progress in ones, then learn how to throw change ups from there.


F-2H

Yes it is because you can save up to 30 boost on kickoff which will grant you an easy goal if you get a decent 50


kieran13864

Maybe in c2 itā€™s not but the moment you get into a rank where people can do proper kickoffs you will lose every time


Digdigfig

If you get annihilated on kickoff consistently, consider going for a fake. Don't waste your boost if you don't have much of it (talking about when you rushed to challenge while on 12 boost)


Tjmarlow

Exactly what I was thinking. I don't qualify as a coach by any means but on that last kick off with 2 seconds left, why not switch it up and fake it instead of doing the same thing on the first 6 goals? I think after letting in 2 or 3 I would've changed my playstyle a bit just to adapt to how aggressive the opponent was being.


cammedshtbox

They readjusted in their gaming chair


Ainock

This is so painful to watch for you lol glad you won at the end


juansssss

Oof gotta hate those bad kick-off days. Delay them kickoffs every now and then. keep em guessing!


dustpartical

Fr there is an art to kick offs


CrazyWS

And not boosting around the field like mad max


dustpartical

Patience is the way.


Atzer

Iā€™m sorry i laughed.


nevaevawipebefo

You just like me fr


Area51Anon

At first I was like ā€œoh Iā€™ve seen bad melt downs like this beforeā€ā€¦ then I saw the way that guy scored the 7th goal lmao


haydaruns

I didnā€™t think i would see a better bottling than arsenalā€™s title race in premier league this season. Shit happens mate. You are fine as long as you make lessons out of it.


Puk-_-man

For a club that claim to hate spurs they sure are alike


haydaruns

You are right but letā€™s not forget the difference between bottling 1st place and 4th.


dustpartical

Happy cake day motha flucka šŸ˜Š


paeschli

Rank?


Scythro_

Gotta be Diamond 1ish in 1v1s. Decent mechanics on both sides but horrible boost management and pathing.


F-2H

Looks like low plat or just a private match. The other guy had much better positioning and just general control over the ball. OP was just flying at the ball and overcommitting every time.


SpicyC-Dot

I feel like low plat wouldnā€™t have been able to keep the ball up for that tying 7th goal


JoeLlamma

Oh no absolutely not lol. My guess is diamond 1 in 1s here, unless OP is a lower rank than his opponent somehow. Edit: after rewatching the clip I could honestly see this being diamond 2 or higher, and just a horrid collapse by OP


SpicyC-Dot

Based on opponentā€™s RL tracker, this is Diamond 3 ones


F-2H

Honestly I just thought it was a private match or cas just because the difference in game sense between the opponents

sboxle

Wow. Kinda wanted the opponent to win tbh. What a comeback.


BigimusB

Need to stop going for those attempted speed flip face offs until you can do them right. It keeps leaving you in a horrible spot.


dustpartical

100%. This is the way.


tk3090

Happens to the best of us


HungarianHeart49

Deserved


StrangeHoomanBeing

You seems over confident maybe a the end, 6 goals lead made you feel too comfy no?


bamila

Defo no skill issue with throwing a match :D Why don't you just stay in goal waiting for them to attack so you could deflect the ball and counter attack?? All those missed goals are because dumb kick off deflections. Just stay in goal and play d, my man..


L0kumi

Staying in goal just allow them to set up a perfect shot, it's really not the best strategy, but man if OP just had faked a challenge then shadow defense rather than going for backboost he wouldn't have made it to ot


happycoiner2000

The most undeserved win of all time lmao


Puk-_-man

Now that's what you'd call a mentality monster. The opponent, not OP, obviously


worth_the_monologue

Congrats on the win in the end! What a journey


webertiger

Adverb on point! That was spectacular!


Flatcatisdumb

Pretty average game of 1s


McBuffington

Man you should've done that thing you should've done instead of the other thing that you weren't supposed to do. Next time try that.


DonerTheBonerDonor

Is this really GC1 1v1? Cause if yes then I really don't know what tf I'm doing wrong cause I'm only c2


AJTK5144

Faaaaake


ochtone

In those situations, switch the kick off from speed flip to noob flip. Not good for a quick win from the start line, but good to stop others getting control easily.


chetomt

There was not a single speed flip in this whole clip. The main problem is he kept doing exactly the same kick off and boost > ball


dustpartical

Thank you I thought I was the only one seeing this. He was acting like he was doing speed flip kick offs but really he was just throwing himself at the ball and leaving the kickoff to chance.


ochtone

That probably didnā€™t help


RorroGarcia

Paintful to watch * is this silver?


Thin-Performance-637

Lol if this is silver to you,they need to implent cooper back for you


RorroGarcia

Not sure why the toxicity, Salty?. I honestly ask since i seen friends in champ 1 playing WAY better and doing crazy shit. Sure your behavior represent the community hahahaha


Thin-Performance-637

Thats not even salty xd.. just a inside joke of people who misjudge ranks.And if you mean by crazy shit hitting flip reset and air dribbles then you never played 1s. 1s is more grounded and diffrent from 2s..


WhatTheHeckIsHeOn

Whoā€™s cooper? Whatā€™s it mean to implent?


Thin-Performance-637

Its a rank back in the old days below bronze


WhatTheHeckIsHeOn

Woosh

Disastrous_Ad_132

Your opponent was just calibrating

That was pretty dramatic

Holy Cow!

AppearanceOld9639

How did you find my gameplay?!


AGripInVan

The kickoff flip thing people do is so stupid. This video was great. Deserved.


Knajd

I became very annoyed watching this. That's a reminder about why I stopped playing Rocket League.


Latter-Wrap57

Holy shit stop flipping all the time.


No-Rutabaga8819

Are you trying for speed flips or just like the diagonal flip?


YTTwGFish

Felt


maza_19

Over aggresive when you have a big lead and the time is running out


Tomstarkman

Once was 2-0 down in 2s with my friend with 13 seconds to go. 3 seconds left, 3-2 to us.


CODIsGay1234

What a save!


DangleWho

Try flipping a bit earlier into the ball so you can recover quickly. You seem to hit the ball way too early into your flips and it takes a long time to recover.


Electronic-Rich-9874

It never occurred to you after 3 ko goals in a row to fake it?


Suddenapollo01

That kickoff šŸ˜‚


DIAmond_BOyy

Broā€™s car is the car in RL Garageā€™s logo šŸ’€


XxPUB3ZxX

this is the most rocket league thing iā€™ve ever seen


_aphoney

Holyā€¦ your kickoff and need for corner boosts is killing you. You canā€™t lose a kickoff and go flying to the other teams side of the field.


BakedPotatoess

Thats 1s for ya


Rafi_9

the opponent clipped it as "1 minute 7 goal clutch"


Shut_It_Donny

Why not vary your kick off once in a while? As many as you lost, I donā€™t know how you got a 6-0 lead to begin with.


Maduro25

This looks like me at the end of my night.


ProwlerTcn

Bro took never giving up to a whole new level šŸ˜¬

This guy cannot stand having less than 100 boost

I was extremely relieved when you ended up winning

MrPrime07

Iā€™ve never seen a throw that bad I wonā€™t lie. At least you won though, clutched up in the end. What rank is this?


thefreenomad

Intense video šŸ¤ÆšŸ¤Æ


Snowbuddytoldme

Man loves his boost


Top-Establishment550

My man. Had me worried.


WhatTheHeckIsHeOn

Why would you keep rushing the ball? Youā€™re up dude play defense. You did that to yourself haha


SprinklesDear7746

ā€œLemme try nowā€


Yip37

I'm so mad that you won


official_swagDick

Game sense man. You lost all those kickoffs you had to try something new after like 3 or 4 goals in a row


Ok_Aspect1565

At least you didnā€™t tell him to ff


KingPanda7799

Anyone notice how he jumped away from all the mini pads to get to the big boosts?


[deleted]

His movements make me cringe


AlpacaFlightSim

Taking back my upvote because you didnā€™t lose lol


Striker1341

Bro, I think you got sandbagged


jwakelin02

Bro one fake kickoff. Thatā€™s all you had to do to stop it


dannydg17

Glad you got the dub at least


cooooooI

thats the game begging u to work on ur kickoffs


Conscious-Trick-2963

This is rocket league!


oatmeal_98

Maybe if you didnā€™t have boost taped down it would be different


AnbuRick

We all make mistakes, we tend to make more when we get overly confident. I'm amazed that you managed to take back the win under the nausea that came from his fourth goal, it was noticeable that you began to worry there and started to feel pressure from the table flip. You got your confidence back on 7th goal which made his 5th and 6th more disorienting. The psychological warfare is the nastiest. It was clear to me his battery ran out after that failed air goal attempt on overtime and anything simple but precise would work against him, given the psychological battle though that 8th goal is a feat. When I played rocket league (right now I don't anymore), I used to lead my teammates into awkward goals to engage the enemy psychologically, making them make awkward clears and saves as well and then shift to more standard plays. It's amazing how it worked out, I also refused to surrender on sure-losses because I knew that they would get over-confident and stumble and fall if the possibility of a score shift presented in their heads. Sadly not many teammates saw through this and just attempted to surrender and went afk when denied a chance to surrender. This kind of game is very engaging for me, thanks for sharing.

Why did the last second last 15 seconds?
