This is what a CHAMP (2) 1v1 Player looks like in 2024?! | Road to SSL (EP. 6) | Rocket League

[@SlipRed5]

keep it up brother. all the best to you bro :)

[@chainuser1774]

Its hilarious how easy Squishy makes beating Champs look. Its like hes not even trying. But here I am trying to copy his strats but get destroyed.

[@a1-exe]

That's because he has muscle memory. People think about mechanics and positioning, and those are important. But there are small differences in timing in how and when you jump/flip that you can't replicate entirely. It's small but it's things like that create a massive skill gap in the game.

[@bl4ck0p]

because this playstyle only works when you are way better than the opponent. and anyone can already play this way against lower ranks

[@blooodbat007]

This guy isnt champ 2. He couldnt save a 40 mph flick. Plat in 1v1 can do that consistently. These vids are not even close to a real representation of ranks.

He got free info from Squishy on his mistakes. I bet he would rather play Squishy than not play him.

Squishy we in Champ 2, we cant just ceiling challenge onna whim like that xD

[@MFJACH]

I understand the simplicity you preach in these videos, but as someone around these ranks I try to do the things you label as a poor play because I'm not just trying to rank up, I'm trying to improve mechanically as well as my game sense. Going for these all in risky plays may result in a loss, but it teaches me what I can and can't do, how to recover from plays like that, and how to improve on the plays in the future. But I really do appreciate the approach you take in these videos.

[@Loiiiiiiiiiii]

100% agree here

[@kazehanaa]

Bro preach. It’s great to see squish show how to dominate the champ ranks in 1’s but I also play 1’s like you. I always get the “bro stop going for breezi’s” or “ you only go for resets” but I just wanna practice my mechs and recoveries in 1’s. Maybe I’d be C3 instead of C1 in 1’s if I didn’t play like I do, but it’s how I like to play 1’s.

[@Loiiiiiiiiiii]

@@kazehanaa100% agree again

[@vsillyy7525]

@@kazehanaa yeah i’m also the type to go for clips. however these vids are just for people that want to rank up specifically. still nice points to take away from these vids tho, even though we don’t care too much about rank

[@mr.zigzagoon4203]

Yeah, if your goal isn't to go pro, I say you should play however you like. Because it's just for fun at that point anyway. I think a lot of people get caught up with what you should and shouldn't do, and forget to ask themselves what their end goal is for the game

[@JoelonCrypto]

[@zeppelin16]

Hi Squishy! I'm so glad you're slowly returning to your roots. The Rocket League journey has been amazing to watch. Leth, Kronovi, and You are my Favorite RL "players". And honorable mention; SunlessK. My suggestion for this channel is more tutorial based content; alongside the Road2s. Throughout your near-decade career of playing Rocket League... You've always said "27" boost is all you need to make any save in the game. I'd love for you to make a tutorial (and maybe even a training pack), demonstrating the circumstances as to why this is true. Thanks. Also, (you mentioned this previously) but please make a tutorial on how to stop the ball on top of your car; I believe you could've done it @ 7:22, but you were expecting the Bump. You & Leth are, in my opinion, the most "intellectual" Rocket League players. I associate Rocket League as a combination of "Hockey", "Skateboarding" and "Pool/Billiards". I'd love to see you also get back into Freestyling, before you went pro, remember, you invested a lot of time into freestyling. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. ~~~~~

[@CobraQ24]

Could you go into more detail about fake challenges and defense as a whole? What’s the point in fake challenging if the opponent can’t see you? What’s a good fake challenge vs a bad one

[@AstroAce7]

The idea is you drive towards your opponent when they can still see you so they know you are approaching them. You don’t fake and turn back while they can still see you. The point is if they see you coming and then ‘faking’ and turning back, they will not buy your fake. You basically drive at them, then disappear behind the ball, get them to panic because they don’t see you so they think you are challenging and throw you the ball. It’s all about timing and positioning correctly behind the ball. Try it out in 1s next time!

[@Andrew-K]

That's a really good question! I think catchme nailed it. Challenge while you're still visible, become hidden, then fake (turn away).

Don't throw the ball away. Don't over commit. Keep track of your boost so u have a little bit of boost left to recover quick enough to defend the counter attack. Learn basic dribbles, power shots and power slide cuts. Learn shadow defends. U should get champ soon if u learn this.

[@helloimcaleb2316]

'Smurfing is so bad for the game..' Until the content creators need to make another road to SSL. The guy wasn't wrong, he was stealing his mmr

[@LilDicky81]

Sure but the season ends in 9 days. All these folks most likely already have their season rewards locked for whatever rank they are stuck in. Ike lost 2 games probably didnt even drop a division. I understand where you're coming from, but squishy is doing it at the end of the season. There's no MMR to be stolen.

[@shinobu1886]

There is a big difference between people who intentionally keep the rank low to either constantly destroy noobs or boost friends, actually smurfing & against the rules. vs someone who has new account and winning all their qualifying games, not smurfing or against the rules.

[@CaptainSkyMT]

@@shinobu1886Well… as someone who used to make accounts constantly to climb and sell them, this is still not good. It’s still smurfing and ruining the experience of lower ranked players at the end of the day. Doesn’t matter how you use the new account

[@jaylunwilliams1544]

Question: Say I have put around 50 hours into practicing basic air dribbles (every now and then a session of unsuccessful flip resets) and I can score them 9/10. But when I get in game, I freeze up and it's more like 1/10 unchallenged. I think I'm rushing my first touch? Should I be doing more practice or keep failing in game?

[@jaylunwilliams1544]

Same goes for dribbling. Idk how you guys can read, catch and control a dribble the way you do.

[@Frozen_RL]

Just keep practicing in freeplay until you never miss and work on even harder shots because then you will get better at the basics

[@WhiteVipor]

Keep practicing in free play and especially games. That’s the only way you will get better in games
