Top 1% Vs. Top .01% - The Difference Ft. ApparentlyJack + Comm - Freeplay Podcast #5

I need hope to learn more

I added you on discord

[@_Kakoosh]

I love Comms comment about how 2v2 can be boiled down to “who can capitalize on their 1v1s and who can minimize the amount of 1v1s their teammate ends up in”. My C3 teammates think more along the lines of “I’m gonna go for this insanely low percentage aerial play and leave you in a 2v1, you suck if you can’t defend against them every time I leave you by yourself”

I'm a huge Flakes fan. His 2v2 w/o mechanics helped me out a ton.

[@Reflextive7034]

Yoooo sameeeeee, I used to think mechanics is everything which I mean can be useful but if you can play it safe and not over extend you can get pretty far

[@JW-cp5hw]

@Sebaztian Alcantar Exactly. Mechanics like half flips are very helpful, but until you're super confident in a certain mechanic and hit it consistently, leave it out of ranked matches. Casual, by all means, send that ceiling shot. Lol. Combining Flakes, Waytons back post rotation, and Luke's videos, I've climbed from Plat1 and sit at C1.

[@crowsgold]

Hey Luke!! Another banger video from you! Thank you so much for helping hundreds of thousands of people to rank up. I was gold when i started watching you.. now im diamond! I didn't know how to half-flip but because of you.. i improved a lot. Im struggling with air roll a little bit but i believe i will learn it because of you! (P.s, u can put some tips in the replies if u want guys, haha) CONGRATS ON 300K!! WOOOOOOOOO! UR VERY UNDERRATED!

[@CactousMan639]

Hey Sara. My tips would be to also watch Wayton Pilkin and Thanovik ;D And for air-roll check these videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHOwd4GkhaeEeqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ2sk3xompqEmdk

[@getsmokedgaming7175]

I can wear headphones at work but can’t look at my phone really. So the podcasts are perfect for me to listen to while I’m at work, then I can go home and try to implement them into my game. Thanks guys

[@AATproducer]

I recently saw a video where DIA-SSL they were doing the Psyonix jan 2023 training packs and in plat they all had a problem with one ball. And they all though the solution was to speedflip. However, not flipping and just pressing boost was also enough. Sometimes you don't need fancy mechanics to reach the same goal.

[@ethangumski6059]

Great comment from you. Very true

[@KayOScode]

But sometimes if you don’t have fancy mechanics, it’s impossible to do something. I agree with the sentiment though

[@StevetheHunter560]

I love everything about this podcast but that last bit of wisdom from Comm really struck me, it makes so much sense. If you're first man challenging a solo play, play the ball, not the shot.

[@ItzG1NG3RxDAV3]

Solid mechanics help massively but it’s reducing the mistakes that I feel is where the top players are at, or making your mistakes recoverable, I find the biggest issue with plat/diamond lobbies are people spitting there dummy out and just quitting after one goal/mistake and then having to grind harder as a 1v2 just to keep my MMR up. Solid podcast btw

[@runshootkillstuff3391]

Bro I love these usually while training in freeplay I get bored and end up in rank but with these it's something extra and keeps me more focused

[@sniperlord3]

Hey Spook! Love the videos. If You could change one thing about these types of videos, it would be to have short clips of what y’all are talking about to help us better visualize these scenarios. An example would be the attacking the corners. I know this would take a lot more work for You, but I believe it would be really beneficial for the avg viewer.

[@Noxzy_RL]

Best Rocketleague improvement videos ‼️

[@patrickftw8464]

Great video, definitely gonna check more of these out. I gotta say though, some of these pros forget how mechanical they actually are or something lol. They'll be like yeah you don't actually need mechanics.. just wait for mistakes, then when it's a 1v1 go air dribble bump the last guy and score.. As if setting up and executing air dribble bumps isn't mechanical at all xD They're so good they've forgotten what it was like to suck haha

[@mrwelshi7201]

I switched to Zenns controls, but for me its working better because its made my controls more comfortable; since my controls are weird to begin with.

[@BC_BOSA]

I SERIOUSLY NEED THAT TRAINING RN

[@drdavidreyes17]

Let’s go I thought this series was dead

[@erikikea2910]

A Rocket League podcast would be a dream.

[@michaelandersen7749]

my take on this is that you can actually only get GC if you have high GC or even ssl level BASIC MECHANICS, however to get ssl without mechanics you most definitely need PRO LEVEL basic mechanics, not being able to ariel in GC is such a huge disadvantage to you and your team, i have seen way too many instances of this and its a bad influence to tell people that you dont need at least intermediate level mechanics

[@KayOScode]

When they said you don’t need fancy mechanics, just air dribble bump and something else (I can’t remember), it was really interesting because I’m sitting at champ and can’t even dribble let alone imagine myself air dribbling. I can’t even jump off the wall into an aerial. The fact that they almost don’t consider air dribble bumping a mechanic makes me understand a lot better what they meant. They don’t mean no mechanics at all, they just mean there’s no need to be doing psychos and pogos

[@michaelandersen7749]

@@KayOScode i get what your saying, also luke often mentions (not only in this video but almost all his videos) that mechanics like double taps and flip resets are ''overrated'' in GC and above, whilst flip resets in itself might not be something you see in game all that often, the ability to BE ABLE TO DO SO is very important, not being able to aerial and have good car control is gonna leave you totally LOST around GC and high GC. unless you are a pro or ex pro like leth who knows the game and has the game sense to compensate for the missing mechanics

[@simontmiller]

I'd like to see jack or comm do a road to SSL with no aerialing.

[@Jayboogy1041]

Finally a podcast I'm into

[@Shape1999]

Zen said he had no idea he could change his air roll speed, he always pushes the trigger to the max so it doesn't change anything

[@mexicanmamba1464]

I still disagree there’s a response time difference between a button and a trigger that helps drastically.

[@Locxxus]

air roll on trigger just help to be precise

[@BeauJee.]

[@TheJacobi]

I got absolutely zooted and listened to this 🔥🔥🔥

[@wesleyliggett]

My friend that has been coaching me along side watching your videos is Gc1 and he can airdribble but he isnt mechanical at all

[@diceyDealer]

Excellent explanation of placebo. Well Done.

[@davethomas3118]

You def need mechanics or at least be able to make solo plays to get to SSL. Ball sense, defending, & making no small errors has got me to GC2/3 but I just can’t reach SSL. Everyone is so solid at that rank and you just can’t depend on people making mistakes to score anymore so I’m gonna disagree with Comm when he says “just hit the ball hard every time and you can get to SSL.” GC, yes. SSL, no.

[@Clan_GST]

also i really appreciate the vids!!

Everyone mistakes Flakes's philosophy with grounded Vs mechanical, that's NOT the case at all. Even later in the podcast they come to the real conclusion, it's about not over committing! That philosophy can't be argued with imo

[@jamesgillispie-vc2dc]

In gold3 / plat 1 i feel you have to learn quick ariels to even consistently stay in plat.

[@prcxiale1124]

not at all, if u just stay in net when they are on offense, aerialing like absolute monkeys, youll be able to counterattack them, as they wont recover as good as a champ for example, so you can just drive towards the net with the ball and it will probably be open.

[@christopherlewis8249]

Nope learn how to hit the ball consist and don't over commit

[@daddyslilmonster420]

Bounce dribbles to the side then power shot will beat most plats you dont need aerials

[@brunolopes2205]

hahah u are definetly wrong. C1 here. I got to diamond without aerialing at all. Wave dashes, half flips and strong booms. The problem is you think you need those so you rely on those too much and its every easy to overcommit

[@Jxk_l]

Hey what tip do you have for moving from plat to diamond

[@adamlimbada2670]

I mean, he’s just posted a video that will save you lots of hours to improve. Maybe watch first, but my advice would be… Do the basics very well. Get good at air roll, wall plays, bounces, passing, and controlling the ball on hood

[@emarbeats6896]

Focus on the basics

[@MyyssticalRL]

Probably off from what you were looking for but, keeping a good mentality and trying to not get tilted. tm8 missed the ball? Keep ur chin up and keep pushing. A major thing in platinum why people get stuck there is that they're so pessimistic they're too upset in every game to actually realize when it's they're fault and also that they're keeping themselves down by having such a horrible mentality.

[@cubeofsoup]

always be focusing on not getting scored on and play for counter attack. defense defense defense. the opponents will give you free goals if you just cover your net well. learn to make saves and clear the ball with power, use training packs and freeplay to work on this. plat-dia is just play defense, dia-champ is the same but improve consistency, champ-gc is yet again more of the same but with more individual capability to control the ball in defense and offense.

[@suskei9000]

Nice vid um to my calculations I'm actually first

[@DA_POTATOES]

Hi Luke, I was plat last season but I can’t get out gold this season because my teammates can’t rotate at ALL. (I’m not trying to be toxic btw)

[@LanceWillMakeIt]

@@DA_POTATOES if you consistently don't have teammates that can rotate, that means your opponents don't either, so it still comes down to you. get good at defensive clears and shooting hard
