Had to come back. This video is just too good. Trying to get unwashed.

This is good advice. But one thing I disagree about is the flick and aerials/mechanics comments. I suspect it might be this way in higher GC, ironically, but in C1-C3 my experience is that most opponents I face do actually do a lot of flicks and aerial mechanics. And good ones at that. Which to a higher ranked player might not be a problem, but for me is very hard to handle. When I play with my GC1-GC2 friend I feel more comfortable because I don't feel I get a lot of mechanics against me to defend. So when in C1-C3, I don't think the answer is only "don't worry about mechanics, because GC3's don't do them". C1's do them, and they are very hard to defend against. Again, solid advice, but what to do when you actually come against mechy players who can actually totally embarass you and read your every frkin move? It honestly feels helpless. Even simple flicks, I do one wrong tiny move or I challenge 0.3 seconds too late and they time a perfect 45 degree flick top corner, every god darn time. Don't get me wrong, I like the video, just feel so frustrated and hopeless.

These are gc1 players versing a diamond and a borderline ssl, where you consistently just cut the ball away from your lower rank mate thats sitting in net 80% of the game. This "pacifist" strategy is just soft boosting up untill the point where you cant 2v1 anymore. The attitude and the vibe of the video was nice though c:

Can I still do this if I don't have a teammate? I'm looking for a good strategy to boost my mmr because I'm stuck at c1 right now after being c3 and like 3 games off gc before the season reset

The Pacifist System is highly aggressive in my opinion. It's just controlled aggression. Do you want to go into a fight throwing one haymaker after another round after round ? (That's the way a lot of people play RL) OR do you want to fight like Mohammed Ali ? Wearing down your opponents until it's time to strike. (That's the Pacificst system.)

How do you break the habit of going into the opponents corner every attack? Love the vids

These opponents are low GC1, and are currently both C3. Still interesting seeing a low-mid diamond player in this lobby, but it's far from consistent GC2 players.

I think that most people don't want to use this method because it needs activation of a certain organ that a lot of players would rather not try searching for. Usually the mentality is to chase (not always in a smart way) and it maintains people at the same rank for a long time. I'm usually playing with a friend who's around C1, and we play in C3-GC1 lobbies which seem easier with him than in solo queue, just because we focus in defence, we don't go unless necessary. The main thing of ranked 2s is that people would rather blame their mate for not saving the ball than actually trying themselves to play defensive. Instead, they will try something flashy, giving up possession, and putting their mate in an awkward position, and concede.

no one in that first game is 1mmr higher than champ 2

Just subscribed. Great video. Been an on and off rocket league player. But i definitely want to use your strategies to become a more consistent and better player. This game is still my number one after all these years.

Nice

In games, should I use ball cam? Because I’m so used to not, and I can’t play aerials well with it on (not that I could play them well with it off), but I always see people using it, so should I make myself get used to it?

Hey man, we really need a 3v3 version of it. It works like a charm in 2v2, but in 3v3 i am lost.

Great demonstration of the Pacifist system! Thanks for that and the analysis! GG guys!

I already play very similar to this as I've only been playing for 4 months... I'm gold 3 almost plat 1. If anyone near me wants to run 2s let me know!

Maybe it would be better to call it the Ying and Yan method.

Just hit my new Peak after watching apparently Jax new video basically saying to be overly positive to your teammates and take responsibility for everything bad that happens make you play better make your teammates play better

Currently in silver on switch lite and got a couple of back to back wins employing this kind of strategy. Long way to go but seeing the difference.

16:43 - maybe it would be helpful to think of some challenges as trying to get a "first touch" on the ball for control rather than simply getting a piece of the ball?

GC3 game in casual or you mean this is a ranked Gc3 lobby?

Love this video style, makes it all look so easy. I get flamed constantly trying this in solo queue d3-c1 level. It's exhausting to field the toxicity but it works everytime I get a teammate that positions well.

You're zen video and traing pack has help improve my aerial game so just wanted to say thank you 🙏

Ya infact i do not understand the perpetual air roll… if you have to do a sharp turn to the right, left or high and low… why the fuck you do not have to release the air roll? Meanwhile if i have to touch the ball i find more precise and powerfull doing that with air roll, and the car do not fuck up.

I'm currently adding this to my RL Timer as well as the Belt System.

Been using air roll left for years. I would hold air roll and my muscle memory just makes me move. I feel like I should completely relearn air roll bc the way ur explaining it is crazy. Also when I first found your channel, I thought you were satirical because I thought your team play tips were bad

Also timing your boost is important

Dave, another fun video. I'll be honest, when the series initially launched, I didn't think I'd get much out of it other than entertainment. But, what I've noticed is that I'm bad at creating offense in 2's. Wathing you and Rey has given me a better idea on how to do this more efficiently. Keep 'em coming!

I don't understand what's going on. I'm gold 3.

You should try catching the ball on the wall by holding brake. That way you can control and shoot it further. Plus the opponent 1st man usually commits thinking the 1st touch is all you could do so they get outplayed

you're not the thinker. just play rings maps for a month whilst air rolling 95%+ of the time then after that grind air dribbles in free play and boom you have aerial car control! There's no shortcut, it's all about developing muscle memory.

Bro your tips have helped me so much thanks goat

The guy missing the wide open net at :55 is what we mean when we say your games look different. 😂

You helped me improve so mich

Ok

Great stuff! Always a pleasure to watch. :)

and what if i want to delet joytokey vut it says that som elements can be delete manually

12:16 - RWAAAAAAAGHHHHHnooooooo 😂

First comment! I wanna see you guys do an actual 2v2 pacifist system road to ssl.

I looked at the pants and thought it was a rank

U explain why u need to do it this way perfectly good example

keep grinding Rodney!!

1s matchmaking around this rank is so weird. One game I'm beating someone 13-1 or something, next game I'm playing against someone who was 2k in 2s recently. I think people just don't play the gamemode enough for their rank to reflect their skill level, and it's unfortunate. It didn't used to be like this either. Back in F2P season 2 I was C2 in 2s and C2 in 1s. Now I'm GC1-GC2 in 2s, and still C2 in 1s.

Omg plz tell me i was on a video when i played you, i never play 1s but im an ssl i had s16 ssl tag on from 2s i vs you in c2 1s my acc name was "xSvendax"

Dave, your 50s were so on point today! This increased level of aggression/pressure is really working too.

I think push dribbles w ball on ground are better for when your opponent is fully set up on defense. Bounce dribbles are more for counter attacks when ur opponent is somewhat awkward on D. That’s my experience at least

i am new to your series and very excited to start learning the moves. gonna try and get gc for the first time this upcoming year. wish me luck! thanks again for all the videos!

17:37 The habit of sometimes only thinking about boost instead of spacing and what the player is doing makes another appearance.

Mid vid ur trash get a life 1v1 me ninja. My username is LB ChagDog fight me foo. Edit: please don’t get mad my friends told me to stop yelling stop Edit:imagine if nobody sees this😢 Edit: and also Read more…

Been watching your vids for some time now. This has to be the most underrated KZbin channel out there for RL advice and analysis. I love how you delve deep into the little tips that not many people know. Absolutely love it mate keep it up! 🚗

I feel like I was watching a masterclass in fundamental play. Well done, sir, well done. 🫡
