Dark went from the pogo guy to the dashing guy the way he dashed constantly now is just insane

[@maxi1983]

He has always dashed around???

i think you really touched on some of the key improvements he's making there at the end, cant help but remember zen's big mechy introduction to the rl scene at large and one of the key differences between zen then and dark then/now, is he already had such a phenomenal grasp of the team game. johnnyboi said something a few times while zen was on that massive tear through the upper echelons of 1v1, and it was about how mechy players often dont get the respect by folk thinking that they're all just about ball chasing, but the reality is the more mechanics you have in your arsenal, the more ways you can approach a play and he was adamant zen was gonna prove just that in the future (which he did). dark's on the edge of the mechanical game as it is, once he wraps that around the 3's framework he's gonna dominate it's just a matter of time.

[@grimu8844]

it was actually Jack that said that on Johnny's stream but yh I agree

[@prone1277]

i think when people want rate someone on how mechanical he is, they should also rate not only how many mechanics u can do, but also with wich consistency u success ur mechanic + if u are good enough on fondamental mechanics (by fundamental, look how strong are the shot of exotiik, always powerful and in a top corner 99% of the time)

[@domesticrefrigerator]

Dark is a beast and I think some of those best clip videos are not even giving him all the credit he deserves. He has a lot of disgusting goals, so I was not sure why those montages, show him doing basic high level RL plays, like normal single flip resets and conventional air dribble bumps. He has a level beyond, what normal high level players would put in a montage, that shows his mastery of freestyle in a competitive setting. Still waiting for the "Real" Dark Montage.

[@alexsnc441]

Imagine being that good... Instead of constantly trying to keep up, being the guy actually pushing the boundries of RL unknown territory. The beauty of this game is people exploit it and it becomes a part of it.

[@scary_wolf007]

Imagine if dark singns for vitality and him and Zen gets those resets to each other mid air and the amount of championships VIT would have.

[@2s2bs]

I think Dark has been grinding 2v2 for the sake of his next run in RLCS. Maybe sticking with the team on Zone, maybe not. Also, you should do a review of Diaz the Brazilian player, he also seems like a mechanical Young-Gun that more people should be talking about. Hey, maybe you get him in your games from time to time

[@CalebCantrellPBR]

I played a 1s match with dark in a tournament about a year ago. He was on my friends stream and we had a tourney and he is absolutely insane.

[@user-dq3xw9cv3e]

My nephew and I love your educational content about rocket league.

[@yoyohi51]

Man, every new Dark video is like a Christmas present. excited to see.

[@henrywells4829]

i love you tena

[@qsol0]

Kind of want to see tenacity go for a pogo or one of those ariel plays where the ball hits off the ceiling in a video. Would be fun to see a high level player try these things

[@87firearrow]

18:02 bro actually went for a basketball dribble in car soccer game 💀

[@isaz2425]

18:17 , that one was amazing.

[@sxleRL]

i used to do maktuf resets for double resets but not perfectly ofc and more at a sideways angle rather than striaght upside down level with ground like dark did in this vid. lasted a few weeks then forgot about it cuz trained smarts and just got sidetracked, and now cant barely get it to save my bloodline 💀

[@luddugamer-ob1lo]

[@Rhemzy24]

Does anyone know the whole preset to the purple fennec in the second half of the video

[@martinkrajscak4381]

I dont think this is how dark plays nowadays. Any new video he is featured in has like 800 dashes regardless of where the dash is done. Honestly I wouldnt be surprised if he did a ceiling wavedash which I definitely think has possible use in his reckless playstyle.

[@isaz2425]

Once dark gets as good as other pros at rotations and game sense, he'll be amazing. I'd love to see him in rlcs then. (But I don't think he's there yet)

[@lilGOATed19]

Great vid Maybe do this with zen, like compare clips from 2-3 yrs ago to clips he hit now

[@0ura27]

[@TheMischi090789]

Hey Tena, I got a question for you! :D If you hit a flip reset, you´ll have infinte time to execute that flip, right? Why would someone go for a double or triple flip reset then, assuming they haven´t used their flip yet? Love your content bud! Cheers man :)

[@samtarkk1]

Boost conservation and unpredictability mainly. As Tena said, each flip is more a horizontal move, so chaining those and feathering boost let's you cover crazy distance and still have tons of boost. And to be unpredictable, chaining flip resets let's you creep ever closer to the opponents net and remain in full control. There's one goal that Tena also explained where both opponents are reading two of his resets, but they don't read the last one, so he can sneak the ball past. O and cause it looks cool

[@niceguy-es5zf]

WE NEED TO SEE A DARK VS ZEN 1V1

Can anyone tell me the fennec preset he was using? (Including the colours)

8:16 not a maktuf reset my guy. I think it's a murie reset, and I know that Joyo, Zen, and Rhezzy have hit those as well.

ur underrated btw do u wanna 1v1 the latest version of nexto?(Without using air dribbles and flip resets)

so i met dark lol he joined my vc randomly in the rl discord, hes a pretty cool guy, signed my steam prolly lol. we became pretty good friends over a weeks span but slowly stopped playing lol, still chill tho.

The gameplay in the video is what every plat says they are.

[@rodrigosinde773]

10:45 i made the exact same face as tenacity holy shit💀

[@exocated9038]

I actually disagree with u here @TenacityTv on 3:35 - 4:00. I agree with u on the fact that, because Dark has a reset they can't just go for it, However. They were both net, so one of them should have went for it (a.s.a.p.) to force the play. They should both know that the one going for it probably isn't going to get it. And so the guy waiting net should have the save. I think what went wrong here one the side of Zen is that: either they didn't know that they were both sitting net or, they saw Dark getting the reset got scarred and hesitated for a sec and then decided not to go. In both cases the problem could have been resolved with communication. Coms coms coms people!

correct, it is a murie rest. however, maktufs are the same thing but you do the flip with airroll so its more of a spin. no stalls used

2:12 did dark just save his teammate's shot

[@gamerandcontroller9129]

I’m always disappointed Kronovi’s first ever ground to air dribble gets skipped in videos like this. The four fundamental mechanics upon which all other mechanics emerge from are; Kro’s ground to air dribble defined aerial game play, The Kux twist defined aerial control. Devo’s double tap redefined defense, and Squishy’s ceiling shot defined fakes. All other mechanics derive from these four. other fundamental mechanics are the halfflip, and wave dashes, but not sure who popularized those

[@randomportugal3713]

Directional air roll is the core

[@gamerandcontroller9129]

@@randomportugal3713 some pros don’t even use DAR

[@sxleRL]

I think hes slower now because hes trying for rlcs so he knows he gotta be more patient and less sparatic, but then again imagine a full team of sparatic Darks just dawging on zen, rodohsin, vatira, rw9, etc

[@vseppe9539]

A normal pogo and that pogo shot are shots he does often

[@PIZZARL325]

[@Summit871]

14:30 how did he cancel his flip so fast that he was able to regain control like that?

[@qaiswakileh2965]

He stalled right after he jumped then 50d and air rolled to the right after

[@qaiswakileh2965]

Actually he noflipped, he used the momentum from the rest of the flip to continue the recovery I just downloaded the replay to make sure. It makes sense he can chain dash and zap dash so consistently his speed is pretty nutty. The ball kind of prevents the flip anyways so he gets away with it.

[@redandsoulles132]

I don't even clip like dark in my dreams

[@RealEclipsed]

I would love to see Dark and 2 other players who have the same "high speed playing" style on 1 team, it would literally destroy the traditional rotation methods, as they can literally be anywhere at any time
