I never knew it but I was waiting for this kind of RL content. Mechanics and they way they are used have changed, evolved, been innovated etc. over the course of RL's lifespan. Cool to see a video reflecting on this for one of the most iconic mechs in the game.

[@henrykaufman5177]

Rocket Sledge has a video similar to this but he goes over 5 mechanics, obviously in less detail than Wayton in this video. I recommend it

[@ryanlogue3342]

This. There's so many different ways it can be used in so many different scenarios, that alone keeps RL playability at the top compared to other games.

It feels so incredible to even be a minuscule part of this story. Props to Wayton for digging so deep to research on this one! Great video

[@AleksHugs]

Incredible ingenuity to see the potential in this mechanic so early man. I’m sure no one ever believed that people would be hitting triple resets and double taps from landing on the ball upside down in the air when commenting on that thread. I always look back at these moments of discovery as “golden eras” of a game when everything is still so mysterious and theoretical. I can still feel the excitement for what’s to come when reading your post, even 6 years later when I know the outcome haha

Hey Wayton, beautiful video. Very well edited & informational. However, for these types of videos a timeline in terms of month/year would be a lot easier to follow than "RLCS season XX" for the more casual audience such as myself. I'm not sure when all of those seasons started/ended, so it's hard to establish a timeline. & prior to any of the RLCS seasons mentioned it was hard to realize how slow/fast everything was evolving since no dates were mentioned. I might suggest in future videos of a similar genre to show the month/year in the corner for every new event discussed. Thanks for the content!

Good idea. I’ll mention the dates more often in the future.

Lovely video! Always good to get a reminder of how long it took until it was in RLCS. From the back of my mind I would of thought it was much earlier. Granted Deevo did a flip reset at Season 3 LAN (June 2017) but he was always the outlier. Fysho also always a legend. I remember when he posted on twitter about how he finally hit one in-game.

[@WaytonPilkin]

Yeah crazy to look back on it. Thanks man! Means a lot coming from you :)

Wayton, this is undoubtedly your best video of all time. The time and effort you spent putting into this is unimaginable.

As someone that just started playing rocket league within the past year, learning how to flip reset on command is a long term goal.

I one day hope to be a channel people can come and enjoy a unique creative spin on rocket league, from stories to fame or fail, first amazing shots whether in training, casual or competative, and truly share some laughs and be an overall friendly hub for all RL fans bronze to SSL, or just people who enjoy the game in general!

[@rosegoldberg2469]

I think the biggest change was when players started using them in the midfield. Scoring a fancy flip reset shot is one thing, but when players with low boost started to be able to beat that one extra player in the mid by flipping it over them, that was what changed the game.
