Mechanics vs Brains | Dark vs Growlii | Rocket League 1v1

[@AjPerson0]

At first I thought this video was called “Maniac vs Brains” which would honestly be a fun video imo.

[@NahNoWayy]

now the question is: who fits the title of maniac best?

[@fizzmaman]

Dark does play like a maniac, so it would fit hahaha

[@JoelTGM]

On the topic of speed, if people think Rw9 isn't fast it's because he doesn't put himself in positions where he needs to rush. So for alot of the game he appears to be playing relaxed and in control. Another player might look faster but it could be because he is fake challenging too deep, or he makes bad touches that forces him to rush. People miss that and think the guy wall dashing twenty times into a fake challenge just to have to rush back to net is speedy.

[@koafr84]

By fast I think he meant in attacking and how he speeds up the play as that's what dark does when he played against Daniel he made Daniel play faster due to his fast aerial attacks

[@blakxnz]

the fastest players in the world are the ones who flip the least

[@miikarlmiikel6116]

Rw9 aint fast player and he fuckedup rule1 against vitality for being too slow, go watch gregan analyse that game maybe ull learn something kiddo

[@amadeus5539]

@@miikarlmiikel6116 I think you should know 3s and 1s are quite different here. In rule one rw9 likes to sit back and that usually works out for him, because he gets to shine defensively and has his twin do the offense. In a 1s match these things don't happen, rotations are significantly different and there's more space given to the players. So what the original comment said is 100 percent true, that if you don't put yourself in rushing positions, you'll rarely need to speed up. That doesn't work in 3s because there's just a lot happening at any given time. You have to play fast or you'll get beaten. And his teammates do that (with vitality their weakness showed much more). Playing fast is an ability, while what rw9 does is a tendency. He absolutely has the ability shown in his 1s but tends to not use it, which doesn't work in 3s.
