Playing 1's is making me realize just how terrible I actually am. I was D3 in 3's 5 years ago and stopped playing. Just started playing again and I dont even think I deserved that rank. Thats why these videos are great.

[@Compulsor]

no, you definitely deserved that rank 5 years ago, the skill ceiling has just significantly increased since then so the skills of a GC 5 years ago would be somewhat equal to that of a diamond today

[@chainuser1774]

@@CompulsorI think you're right. I don't remember everyone being this fast in the lower ranks before. It makes me feel washed lol.

[@Pekara121]

I stopped playing for a couple years as well. Was peaking diamond in 2s. And even though I was/am a kbm player I felt like mechanically I was better than most people in my rank. Nowadays it's not so much the case 😅 people have gotten better mechanically but oh boy the thinking aspect has stayed the same. And I've found that analyzing and being smarter about the way you play is gonna improve your rank much more than just learning mechanics. That's how I'm able to peak champ 1 in 3s and 2s now.

[@tuskman5399]

“That was a really good bad kick off, that was good” 😂

[@christiannunez1717]

I’m plat 3 in 1s, no one sits in net and everyone speed flips. I also am never given space like this. I’m always pressured.

[@Dafooq.]

i can confidintely say that youre 100% right , i cant believe how these plats just sit in net :D im curious what d3 will look like here , cause my d3 opps are fkin reseting and shit XD

[@Soulzwtw]

[@stevie_ts]

i feel like mmr doesn’t really matter, there’s something else in play like W/L ratio or hours played or something

[@ThatWookieGuy]

lol here we go again boys. Another one of these

[@Printer_combustible]

Ibr about a minute into the video. Squishy was doing stuff my brother can't do, and he's plat 3, but I understand it's hard because of muscle memory. Things like drifting to give your self an competitive advantage and catching the ball in a certain way with your car are things this rank just hasn't picked up yet. However, I don't doubt that these videos aren't useful. There are definitely things you can take from this that will help you rank up.

[@xspartak]

I was thinking about the same thing. Squishy knows when and when not go to the ball, when to make pressure and when not, and that works for him because he knows how to do it, but his opponents don’t, so he always scores because his enemies can’t defend that shots

[@rynamite1583]

I 100% agree. Right near the start of the first match he started bounce dribbling which is something I have seen little to no people at my rank (C1 in 2's, ~P3 in 1's) do deliberately.

[@mask_snake107]

you're correct, but I also feel like he's doing a good job of letting them do their own things, giving them a free ball, soft hitting the ball to their goal, etc. As well people are also good at different things, id say plat is where you start to develop a playstyle of any sort, although I guess this video didn't show it too well lol. And in general, the way to get out of diamond is to just play the game more so I think its kinda hard to give tips offensively to players that mostly don't quite get what they're supposed to be doing defenseively

[@emzy7962]

That's why he mentions to go into training and practice basic car control and drifting.

[@kronik658]

yeah, even if he isn't going for wallshots/air dribbles/etc he is still playing in a way that is simply impossible for normal plat players. Like even hitting every empty net or putting the ball on net for every clear is something that plat players can't do

[@dannydeko331]

[@cucrl]

Thats not sure, i was plat 3 in 1v1 bc I didn't play much, and was champ in 2v2

[@HaischkaEST]

Squishy, this is incredibly helpful. Thank you

I have been doing a test experiment by que NA East and playing with 140 ping from Portugal and (at least in Plat) I only get wins in NA. Only a few games into the experiment but last night i ranked from Plat 1 to Plat 3 in 2s with all victories queing NA. Eventually I'll stop because this will not help me improve because you need the challenge, but it was just interesting to see, especially in 1s, that the game was just feels easier because you suddenly score a bunch of kickoff goals and cheap shots just because of their over flipping. So school us Mariano, this content is definitly very useful for ALL of us.

[@drewburns246]

No one in North America cares for soccer so it makes sense.

[@prodcio]

I think you can give tips very well, but you execute them near perfectly. You should try KBM instead where you have to now try use your own advice but you will occasionally miss because of your lack of consistency, this therefore also shows us lower ranks how to recover from our lack of mechanics etc. You also default to muscle memory, you won't on kbm.

[@Mo_UK]

Thanks a lot, tho a lot of people are criticising and saying its not the same game they play i did almost exactly what you did in games and went up from plat 1 to diamond 2 div 2 with a 10 win streak, cheers

[@latviankvas]

I hate to be that guy, but I'm plat 3 in 1s and absolutely nobody sits in net like that flat footed, they are always ballchasing and pressuring, and, although rare there is the occasional ceiling musty and flip reset.

[@vezus1946]

im DII in ones and they still sit in net most the time rearly shadow

[@subeeyy]

They definitely do. And just because someone can ceiling musty doesn’t mean they are good at 1s. It means they are good at ceiling musty-ing lol I have seen players way more mechanical than I am whose game sense is absolutely dog poop.

[@VibesAreHigh]

Facts!!

[@JWE_]

I mean why even bring that up its not like Squishy can control who his opponents are lol.. It's all random

[@Royalrights]

Nobody sits in net when they see your plat ass trundling down the pitch. They know they don't have to be afraid.

[@SerpanterR]

My daily dose of squishy gameplay

[@CameronStones]

Love you, squish. So out of touch with us golds with no car control. 😂 "All i said was tap X", he says while wave dashing. I'm still learning, but i low-key want to make a Bacchus mod that randomly changes his input timings to mimic my lack of control. And yes, i can hit the training packs.

[@mlb-yt]

If that's the problem, the first thing to do is not focus on the ball and just drive around and do wavedashes off the wall for a while. Just take the time to practice. Squishy doesn't account for a lack of commitment or practice, because he knows that this will come with time

[@zymecs]

One thing youre not mentioning though, is car positioning. You say that its a simple tap on X for 50s, but 80% of winning that 50/50 is car positioning.

[@Sergio-e5y]

Correct but the more you play you begin to learn what 50s in certain positions tend to win for me taking single jump 50s using the hood/side tires of my car tend to me favorable and 50s using the roof of your car there needs to be a split second delay

[@zymecs]

@@Sergio-e5y Sure, but still need car positioning. He's trying to teach people how to get out of these ranks with the simplest mechanics, where one of them being the 50s. Not many people with sub-100 hours thinks about their car positioning when they play.

[@Sergio-e5y]

@@zymecs - I know that's literally what I'm saying and that's the point of these videos to make you aware on what you need to work on because if you are not you will forever remain in plat

[@ShawnMRandolph16]

Yeah I’m gold in 1s and I’m constantly getting slammed because every opponent just grabs boost and slams the ball no matter what direction they’re hitting it until they get a shot on net. It’s nonstop pressure

[@chainuser1774]

I'm sure they aren't aware of the strat but in higher levels non stop pressure is a sure fire way to rank up ..that is if you are crazy good.

[@charlesfarrant6819]

I am better at slowing the pace of the game and holding space when i have time better than most people in my rank, but still it's a miracle if my recovery into such a position leaves me with boost, time, and ball

Something a lower ranked player probs never does: turn off ball cam ever. I wouldn’t expect any camera control at this rank. Hitting the ball every time is hard enough

[@skunxworkshop]

Yeah. It's clear. I need to be spending more time in free play. My ball control, even simple dribble control that he used in this video, is nowhere near this. Thanks, Squish.

[@skunxworkshop]

@@ensle4177 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SurvivalSo166]

I tried it and immediately got scored on 😂

[@Frozen_RL]

For sure, I think a lot of newer players underestimate the value of freeplay. Everyone wants to just instantly queue ranked and they get hard stuck because they won’t put hours in freeplay. I would put half your time in freeplay if you feel less mechanical because freeplay gives you 100% time on the ball unlike ranked

[@leader8093]

plat 1 in 1s, ur advice is really good and you are playing on their level however you do have perfect movement and actually executing what you want to do. you should try to play on kbm and use your advice without your muscle memory

I just got RL about a month ago and I play with friends who are in plat in 1s and 2s. I am hard stuck in Gold, my peak was Gold 3 Div 4. I have good mechanics to be in gold aka I do lots of free play and can speed flip, half flip, and decent at dribbling. I can keep up and even beat some of my plat friends..but literally cannot get out of gold. Idek what to do at this point.

[@evilgenius50131]

my bad for the writing a book but in ones i was hard stuck gold 3 div 4 for the longest after about 6 months i just hit plat 3 i got more consistent (still not the best) with hard touches, shadow defense, defense in general, and learning how to shoot and get better touches and better kickoffs. i still am not the best but i got better. with twos same thing kinda, power touches accurate shooting and the main thing that saved me was back post rotations that skill is a game changer. me and my boy went from plat 3 to peak d2 bc of that. i still need to work on wall reads both ball off the wall and car to ball off the wall and continue getting accurate touches and shots.
