14:40 dark is defending on low boost and does this sweet backwards wavedash off the wall to avoid the bump from arsenal. This kis is a genius!

[@ToriKo_]

This play, and the one where dark chose to go for a wall to air dribble with a few seconds left on the clock, DESPITE being able to secure the game if he wasted some time instead, and ended up scoring a disgusting triple reset on Arsenal, really stuck out to me

love the competitive spirit from these guys and it was great to see them sharing a lobby so arsenal could learn pogo tips after. a great rocket league community moment

[@Stick1Master]

There wasn't a single air dribble attempt from Dark's corner that wasn't effective and threatening, this guy's aerial and reset mechanics are simply disgusting even without the pogos but with them he just goes beyond. He seems to take the ball into the air even more often than the most mechanical, aerial based players because he creates so many opportunities and good set ups, especially with the fakes on kickoffs. It's always fun watching this guy, he's single handedly redefining the meta

[@delanomartin]

Couldn't have said it better

[@bigballsjimmysaville4206]

He's not really redefining the meta just because he bashes mechanics. He's insanely technical but he scraped past arsenal so he will lose to the best 1s players

[@delanomartin]

@@bigballsjimmysaville4206 U dont know what u are talking about.

[@Stick1Master]

@@bigballsjimmysaville4206 He is. Pros and players at the top level have already started implementing pogos and fakes. He influenced a lot of players at the top on his own, how is that not redefining the meta. And we all have off days, he still won 3-1. Also, he won against Joreuz and some other really good people so your whole comment is kinda wrong

I have been wanting a 1v1 with Arsenal or Retals to really see what Dark was made of. This really shows why Arsenal is a pro. He's not a 1s main, but he is obviously really good. This also really shows just how good dark is. The truly innovative thing he does is his crazy good fake kick off. It's actually crazy hard to read.

I don’t think we should stop calling it the “Zap Dash”. I think it’s the best of the names that i’ve heard proposed. Plus we still call other mechs like the Musty flick by their names despite everyone doing them

I totally agree, zap dash sounds the best by a long shot. Idc what the community decides, I'll always call it the zap dash

I wonder what the whole "Zap Dash" issue is. Even if it becomes common, it's his thing. People still call Musty's flick "a musty" but everyone does it.

The reality is though that you need to combine this innovation with extreme consistency to be a pro. I think Dark could 100% be a pro if he was interested in perusing it. I think maybe his gameplay would have to change a little to fit into the team game but with some practice I think he could be an asset to any pro team.
