[@marshallhart4993]

Squishy, I think my problem is not taking my finger off drive! I think us GC1 players think we are better than we are because we think we are playing fast but in reality we are waiting boost and not positioning well. Watching you play it seems like you have full control and are reading the game perfectly! This video was a great help for me!

[@zaz6463]

I've been gc1 / gc2 for a few seasons. The main difference I see between your plays here and the other players is that you have a much stronger understanding of positioning on the field relative to other players; and you're taking that into account to do things like save boost, make smarter first touches, to know when to go to backboard for a save, and probably most importantly avoiding double commiting with tmate. Your plays and saves are simple because you naturally position yourself well to begin with. I think this is where gc's (and I) are lacking most.

[@jayypea_rl]

Don't care didnt ask u suck ez win lolol 😂😂😂

Sure, but the speed at which he is doing everything is ridiculous. Everything he is doing is simply faster than everyone else, positioning definitely helps that, but the speed at which he reads the plays and whether he can beat the other players is on another level.

[@oropo01]

Ngl although the mechs you show in the series sometimes are a bit crazy the general rules you’ve said have gotten me playing better than I’ve ever been. Dont challenge when your opponent is closer to the ball (mostly) and don’t over complicate yourself. Used to airroll way too much now I’m trying to keep it clean and simple. Another thing is just a simple jump into a power hit into the net, you’d be surprised how far that can go in the higher ranks.

[@roguesword52]

In regards to the comments about good mechanics in Diamond and above. I 100% see flip resets and air dribbles in Diamond. I dunno if they're smurfs or hardstuck, I personally can't do any of those. I think the reason you don't see it, is because you only play those ranks a few times before ranking up. You don't consistently play Diamond for 10+ games for example. So you're only seeing a small snapshot of each rank. The tips on positioning has helped massively, even without good mechanics I'm playing a lot better in Diamond. Love the content, big fan, keep it up!

[@Mini-Palmer]

the difference between EU and the american servers are actually insane, i don’t think i’ve seen a single flip reset in this series yet but in my c2 lobbies players are doing cross map air dribbles into flip reset doubles, granted they’re probably used to be gc1+ and dropped down but even so i come across it every other game but in this series haven’t seen a single reset or double tap from the opponents

[@ST-iv2ej]

Really enjoying this series

[@Zoomjah]

Seems like at this rank, no matter how much Squishy tries to tone it down, players quickly get discouraged realizing they are getting outplayed by such good control. Then it's probably not too long before they are like 'yup another smurf... gg go next'. I think players are a lot less likely to go for the flashy stuff, when it doesn't feel like they have juicy space and a favorable scoreboard to get away with it, especially when they are getting whooped by their opponents. But all that said, its still great to know that simple play can be super effective, with enough understanding of flexible less risky decision making.

[@stefankats7941]

since squishy reads all comments, i so hope for an answer to this. at 1:28 after you made a play, you went again and it feels like the correct play was to steal their boost and go behind your teammate, bc he should have better view of the opponents. felt like you autopiloted, but i wanna know if it was the actual correct play. btw that spot is the most common for a double commit, people steal the boost and want to keep going but they arent pros they lose momentum basically leave the mate in a 2v1, or the mate goes since he has been watching the whole time.

[@TDM_]

As a GC2 I've seen champ 3s hit flip resets and other crazy shots/double touches. It's not too often it happens but some games you can clearly tell they are more mechanical than others.

It is a very good exercise what you are doing. To keep the basic skills by denying your real skills to yourself. It strengthen your „bad skills“

[@milesg7877]

The main reason you dont see anyone at "these ranks" doing crazy mechanics is because you are only playing 5ish games at each rank. The sample size is too small. The players stuck at a certain rank are easily playing a couple hundred games at that rank, which is why they create a bias and become jaded. Although it is true what they are saying. Think of it from their PoV, 3 out of 4 players have to play against a revoling door of smurfs that dominate and rank up past them. Plus the fortunate player who gets carried creates an inflated rank which just leads to more volatility at each rank.
