I am impressed by how SSLs can litteraly beat you at your own game if you give them like 10 mins. Wonder if this could work in Dodgeball. Great video !

[@TheRealArmor]

That's honestly a really good point. Like, if it's not soccar, and some SSL's or GC's get practice beforehand and pros don't, it's a very lopsided challenge, despite the pros being the literal "best of the best"

[@TheKz262]

@Tea_Toe My belief is that even if it's not soccar the pros would still be able to make some kind of comeback in a relatively short time because they have the ability to adapt , analyse and learn on the go which casual palyers even up in SSL don't focus on.

Embarrassing

The training definitely paid off mechanically, the GC's could consistently hit the cube straight, which is pretty difficult

One of the most original ideas for a RL video I have seen in years. It shows that there are endless possibilities in this game, and it only takes a bit of motivation like being in a video like this to drive people to get those neurons firing and develop something brand new.

[@Rocket_Sledge]

Thank you!

[@minti1702]

@@Rocket_Sledge just wanted to add this, as I would like to get this sort of feedback if I were in your shoes: It was captivating to hear the realizations of the players as time went by. Hearing their thoughts and how something awkward and new brought struggle, but how with a little time something frustrating became something to look forward to. It's a beautiful message that resonates from this project: "At first glance something may seem difficult, but if you persist and allow yourself some time to adapt you might even find excitement in the challenge itself." It's what made this video special to me. Thanks for the reminder.

[@thatguyded6612]

I usually don't win any games so 1 game is better than 0, hence why I said the last 2 SSL games were like my ranked matches (Mal)

[@TheScienceNerd100]

Quite the fun 2.5v1.5 between MatMar, Mal, and half of Polaarr vs the other half of Polaarr and staar

[@abee127]

I have to say, It's very smart to just turn the scoreboard off and record the postgame highlights. I would never have thought of that, but it's a great way to get a video summary of a game with little work.

[@Rocket_Sledge]

I think the footage you might be referring to is actually just replays of goals that happen during the game? Because I've never tried to use after game highlights, they are too erratic and random.

Crazy how much control over a cube you can get with just a little practice. How about the 2 SSL practice it for a couple weeks and then you put them in a 2v3?

[@dae67]

two random guys one day: "oh look... there's a cube ball tournament, that shall be a fun mode, let's jump in, it must be so casual"

[@xvgm24]

Reminds me of the time me and my friend made a cube ball tourney with all the craziest mutators just for a laugh. We expected like one or two opponents at most but somehow 82 people ended up joining. We were beyond thrilled but of course we then got hammered in the first round.

[@majorslayer3546]

Now make the SSLs train for 2 weeks and then 2v2 some RCS pros

[@keatonasuren]

[@DrBojanglez105]

I still do the occasional gentle boomer cube with beach ball curve. You want to see the unpredictable bounces take a whole different meaning, beach ball curve changes everything.

[@PaulSmeen]

The true RLCS

[@sumireravenclaw8034]

The backflip when using both air roll and the button nI use for half flip. I think it's air roll left or right. and it launches the ball insanely high. found that out quite a while ago. never really bothered to tell anyone since figured people already used it. can't really name a mechanic that's already been using for years anyways.

SSL's have much better fundamental mechanics(car control) which allows them to learn mechanics faster than other players even if its striking a cube ball , thats why the SSL's adapted so well , purely because of superior car control and other fundamentals

[@DaxRaider]

GC is so wide.tzere are Players in GC who don't have even airroll on a key and never air dribble or flip or don't even know how (that's me) and then there are mechanical masterclasses who don't understand the meaning of Teamplay or map awareness so GC isn't GC xD

[@Rocket_Sledge]

That is more proof that there is many different skills that make up GC, but you dont need all of them to get there. If you have all of them mastered you most likely are high GC.

[@Rocket_Sledge]

The "musty" flick would like to have a word...

[@016_]

@@Rocket_Sledge Wait seriously people want a word for the musty flick? I mean I’m still relatively new to the game so this is just my “outsider” perspective. I just thought mechanics named after players made sense because they’re named after a name rather than a word. Mechanics that already exist make sense. Terms like pinch ceiling and post aswell as resets and flicks. They all are more or less already in the game and just describe what is happening. With things like flicks and pops they’re easy to say, people can get behind them because it’s like a neutral term doesn’t invoke a lot of “cringyness “ for a lack of a better term. I suppose for most short words that’s pretty universal. So definitely I guess what I’m trying to get at is you want concise words that everybody can more or less get behind. However, I loved the video on meme mechanics.

[@Rocket_Sledge]

@016_ by "would like a word" I meant the Musty Flick would like to introduce itself as an example of "cringy" naming. Of course now it sounds fine because everyone uses it, but in the beginning there was a lot of controversy and if you even think about it for a little bit it probably still fits that "cringey" description you are talking about. In the end the naming part of this video was very much supposed to be taken in the same way as my meme mechanic vids, it was just for fun. We didnt spend any time on the naming or put that much thought into it. Also no one is expecting these names to be used. Especially as no one will be making cube ball a regular thing either.

[@016_]

@@Rocket_Sledge yeah I figured for the initial naming of the musty flick and the mechanic names in this video. It’s always interesting to see how we tweak and create things within our own community!
