yep its me. I knew it was him I saw his ssl 2s rank in my in-game tracker. I could instantly tell it was squishy based on the name and zap dash at the beginning of the game. I just wanted to act wholesome bc this is the first pro I've ran into.

[@samuelbeck9608]

I was the last player, ohmie, in this video. Honestly I could tell right away this player was infinitely better than me. Mostly bc of the zap dash out of the gate lol, but also because he was always one step ahead of me. I was in a long session of ones at that point and my brain was essentially turned off lol. Super cool getting to play squishy though, although I wish I could have had a better showing.

imo you should probably lose a few game to stay down in diamond for a little longer as it seems thats where most people seem to get stuck at. maybe seeing a few more games would help them identify their own weaknesses in game

half flipping in diamond is pretty standard now days

[@Steamrawrler]

Yall are just... not understanding. Yes half flipping in diamond is standard. Doing it well on a challenge to the ball, def not standard in diamond. I can flip reset so does that mean mine is nearly as effective as a pros? Hell no lmao. There are levels to every single mechanic.

[@Pengy_TSG]

Gold is half flipping stage am plat and around I can hit triple flip reset and am not dumb and waste all my boost and go for insane shots and most people think am champ and even rocket league thinks I should be playing with a throwing gold teammate and 1v3ing 1 gold bumping me and taking my boost and 2 champ 3s trying to score

[@killaknight12]

On EU-Servers, at around D3 there are more and more GCs who are just freestyling and practice their mechanics, but when you break through that you can get to around C2 when you are GC in other game modes.

[@RambinoYT]

In my honest opinion, you are all free to agree or disagree. I am comparing this to how Flakes did his series. I feel like Squishy is a bit too mechanical and can at times be ''competitive'' in the mindset if he meets players actual capable at times and does things the rank really can't do. When Flakes did his it was so basic and felt reasonable compared to what Squishy is doing. I might be wrong, just my thoughts watching these that i feel like he could dumb down some of the more mechanical parts. The camera work, the power slides, the dashing on kick offs. Most low ranks will be as basic as it gets, try to mimic the opponent as much as possible. In the end you should win regardless because you have better game sense, that should be what is showcased and taught to people that mechanics is not everything. You can climb ranks by being simple, smart and consistent and not be a lunatic thinking you are some hotshot jumping from the ceiling etc. Teach away the fundamentals, i know that words probably means triple flip reset ceiling musty flick YY ladderstall No scope across the map to some of you weirdo's.....but it's not

[@banana_]

I feel exactly the same way, and commented about it in the first video. His mechanics save him from mistakes too often, and those mistakes are the ones you're supposed to avoid and to learn from. The first opponent in this video played great, at least for that rank, and I feel like squishy just wanted to win and tried pretty hard sometimes.

[@forestvvv]

@@banana_ fr! I actually commented the same thing as both of you on one of his 2's road to ssl videos. ima sound like a hater rn but in reality he's an adult try hard (bad combo imo) smurfing for content & making honest players (who don't get paid to play the game) feel like shit lol. this is the 2nd & last vid im watching of this series, don't wanna support

[@banana_]

@@forestvvv lol I didn't wanna sound harsh but yeah, it feels like a simple "road to" with the excuse that he wants to teach how to improve

[@jekjjj]

idk abt the rest of yall but after i watched this i went from d1 in 1s to d2 div 4 lol anyways its not like most diamond players dont have these lvl of mechs on rhe ground. A basic high flick, power shooting, and fakes are all mechanics that 1s diamonds have, but not as accurate. Like u can't disagree with me that diamonds in 1s ain't good at this, they basically champ in 2s only thing tho he is playing a little fast

[@forestvvv]

@@jekjjj I learned a thing or 2 but ultimately this is not how I want to get better at the game nor something I want to support. I'll compare it to music production- some producers use sample packs to make good sounding music while others would rather take the time & effort to learn how to make rly good music from the ground up, their own style/way, not piggybacking off the success of others. to each their own

[@harryandy44]

Well spotted Ohmie

[@hitjuance5176]

If you spend more than 2-3 games in diamond you would see flip resets and smurfs. Multiple big name content creators have already deep dived this and came to the conclusion a lot of smurfs live in that d-c1/2 range

[@TizzTv]

Exactly .. I said that his last series. I’m in diamond and probably play 5 matches anytime I get a chance to play and every game someone’s doing some crazy shit with perfect defense

[@carsongascon9805]

I am d2 in 1s and champ 1 in 2s. Champ and diamond is so difficult to get through compared to any other rank below because of the inconsistency with your teammates and opponents. I like seeing a pro of squishy’s caliber seeing exactly what the average player sees and is genuinely impressed that the lower ranks have come so far in skill levels since they were there.

[@Buford198]

[@SpinGoal]

Diamond is most unbalanced division in entire game, more unbalanced than SSL with newbies and professionals. One game you can play against guy who dribbles entire map, does double touches etc and another game you play against a guy who cannot hit the ball and he misses to hit the ball in most cases. If you play on your own just for fun, then for thousand of hours you will be able to do something "crazy" like double touches, advanced air dribbles. Those are the players who do not learn and just play for fun and gather experience with the time without putting extra time to learning advanced mechanics in free play.

Crossed ohme up on the last goal 😂😭😭

[@scotttromp]

Im d3 in 1's and c3 in 2s and 3s and it feels like a lot of the same ppl. Occasionally I run into a true 1s main who is mechanically diamond but totally understands 1's but mostly opponents are able to flick well air dribble and will stay behind the ball if they mess up and can get a reset but generally in non threatening situations so maybe threatening ceiling or flip resets probably 3 out of 10 attempts. 1s is definitely thicker down in diamond then other two game modes

[@Josephjr25]

I feel like this and higher are my normal diamond lobbies i swear 😅

[@willgilhespy]

[@kevinhedman2314]

You gotta remember that diamond players are actually champ players in twos. I’m champ 2/3 in twos and diamond 2/3 ones A lot of people have mechs but don’t play a lot ones so we don’t have the ones mentality down.

[@Andrew-K]

When Squishy says he's doing a side flip for his kickoff at 6:35, does he really mean a speed flip?

[@Swordonator]

Something Ive tested and found is that on my other account(that I dont play on) im diamond in 1s and its so easy but on my main im plat 3 and its so fucking hard with 1/4 of games usually being against smurfs or people who "dont really play 1s"

[@luhsoulz]

as a diamond 1v1 player i can confirm this is true

[@pete5680]

I meet people in diamond all the time that have very high technical skill like flip resets but they have no game sense they don’t give any thought to rotating and passing is a foreign concept.

[@ArthurTaylor2005]

sqiushy im d3 and in 1s im d1 and the players i go up against are nothing like d1 in 2s. d1 in 2s are pretty bad compared to d3s. theres also some low champs in d1 1s as well, there not smurfing its just genuinely harder to rank up.

[@YoBrand15]

I think a lot of good (champ or higher) 2s and 3s players use 1s as a warmup. I never play 1s and i do it as a warmup and lower ranks will call me out for smurfing sometimes.

[@Pekara121]

In EU mfers are doing ceiling shots and flip resets in dia 1 😂 I peak champ 1 in other modes so it's definitely true.

I can do some advanced mechanics to an ok standard and in general decent enough car control so the diamonds can definitely surprise people.
