[@Lagchunk]

Saves, possibly one of the most useful things in THE GAME is E. But preflips, drift dribbles, flip resets, and anything else is above it. Video is literally just useless, like chain resets. If it was satirical, fine, but don't randomly rank mechanics on how they look one day, and then how they are useful the next.

And folks, the season of the Lord’s return is now! We are coming to the end of one age and the beginning of the age of Jesus’ glorious reign right here on earth.

He says pinches always look the same and there is not a lot of room for creativity. In the video he barely even shows any other than normal ground pinches. In fact there is a lot of room for creativity. People have scored triple and quad ground pinches (3 or 4 people ground pinching at the same time), ground pinches into sidewall reads, ground pinches into pancake / backboard resets and those are only examples for GROUND PINCHES. There are so much more examples for wall pinches, team pinches ect. He puts this mechanic in E tier btw. For the power shot there is actually not a lot of room for creativity. It is the same fast shot every single time. Just from a different position. He puts this one into A tier because he says that it's super satisfying seeing the ball being launched into the goal. I understand that but why is that not the case with pinches? I get if you would say that power shots are more competitive. But you can do pinches competitively as well (from a bounce dribble e.g.). Thanks for your patience.

[@proturtle6374]

I personally think that demos are great when used in cool and interesting ways like airdribble demos and flicking it and then demoing before the save and such. The only time demos are bad is when the player doesn’t even think about going for the ball once, and just spawn demos. That kind of player is what gave demoing a bad name.

[@mute1795]

Though the video is quite old from this comment i just wanted to say that i have SMACKED demo heavy teams many many many times before and i kinda bully them after the game because of it so to sum it all up demo's can be easily beaten if done well and i proved Wayton wrong. Side note: I feel like someone dissagreed with wayton about mechaniss and now he was mad at the world😅

[@SwuaveWEB]

Fast aerial is the only misplaced one in my opinion, as it is one of the earliest, most essential and most used mechanics in the game. You'll use it more than any other mechanic in the game.... I mean you have to imagine "How many games would I win or be viable in without this mechanics?", without fast aerials that puts you out of all game play plat or above. With those arguments, I must say, I think "Fast Aerial is S tier"

[@williamtheoverlord1671]

Open nets are S tier when I hit them I'm surprised and at awe that I didnt miss.

[@mlgdankfrog9622]

The only things I would have to disagree with are demos and saves. Sure playing against a demo knight means their rotation is messed up and we win, nut being constantly targeted and killed causing me to reset is just annoying so maybe C or D. Saves should be A tier they are a core mechanic and there can actually be amazing saves like off the way aerials, muffin saves, dribbles saves and more. Just my opinions as a Champ 3.

[@marsupreme3232]

As much as I don't like people who just claim that they made a new mechanic, I don't get it when people criticise them by saying that they are just making weird useless versions of normal flicks as if the musty and breezi don't exist. I'm not criticising the flicks, they are incredible and need effort and time, but I can reduce any flick into a dumb move by using that statement. Just an opinion

[@niknik0815]

Agree on pretty much all of them. But saves? Sure, you don't clip it, but is there anything more fun than denying goal after goal after goal and witnessing how shots become more ferocious, the other team more aggressive just in order to get that damn ball past you?

[@Flame24]

You talk about usefulness and then you put saves in E tier??? I mean getting a triple or just a lot of saves can saves games and can look cool aswell...... idk if u have done those kinda saves but they r satisfying atleast for me

Great vid! Although I know it might seem redundant being that you included wave dashes, I think another mechanic to talk about would be recovering and different recoveries in general. Being able to recover your car in awkward positions and get right back into a save/shot/pass is pretty satisfying and with new recovery mechanics being discovered like corner dashes and landing wave dashes there’s still a high skill cap for being able to always recover and keep momentum in RL.

They dont have much momentun, but they are going for your net. You have 25 boost left, which isnt quite enough to reach the ball. What do you do? Speedflip. You gain more momentum, more time and you put yourself in a better position to defend Oh and don't even get me started on kickoffs. On kickoff, you can get to the ball so much faster at the lower ranks (because not many lower ranks know how to speedflip) Speedflipping works in every position They can also be used for: Rotating Going supersonic faster (obviously) And probably many more things i don't know of because I'm just a diamond player.
