At the start of 2024 I’ve become a Rocket Racing Fanatic! It’s Not your traditional racing game. It’s pretty complex and requires quite a bit of dedication to get good at it. Just know, it’s a game that people either love it or hate it. If you want to do speedruns, practice, or ranked, send me a friend request.

Rocket Racing - Bone Cavern 2 (Unreal Rank - Intense)
This was a race with Tayzzar in my lobby. For those that don't know, he's among some of the best players you can encounter. Even if you are a good player he will make you scratch your head wondering how he's so much faster when he pulls away. I messed up my Bhop attempt in Lap 3 (by air dodging into the air....) and hitting the hazard after. Still was a pretty good race for me!
GG's Tayzzar!

This was a Very Intense Race with a player known as Himari whom appeared in my same lobby. He's a really good player that others have mentioned is among the top 20 within the Unreal Rank! Luckily for me I know this map pretty well which allowed me to hold my own, otherwise I don't think this race would have been as competitively close as it was! GG's Himari! Good race!
Rocket Racing - Alpine (Unreal Rank)
มุมมอง 1259 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
I uploaded this Apine run mainly for showing the commonly used shortcut that most advanced players typically use. To understand better how the shortcut works, you are basically starting up top and then traveling down and around in the opposite direction to hit the checkpoint that is behind the Mountain of the curved road. If you hit that checkpoint ring before the countdown finishes you are saf...

Along side Anarchy Arches 2, I hadn't uploaded a Puddle Jumper 2 run in a long time. Puddle Jumper 2 used to be my most hated map by a long shot, but now since improving, I actually enjoy this map somewhat :D For this race, when it got closer to the end I noticed the possibility of gaining an extra turbo. Most times I don’t get this opportunity and would just continue on, float down the mountai...

A Group of us were hanging out in IDKs stream on Twitch doing some Ranked Runs. Afterwards we hopped into some Private Races. Loads of Fun, with some Jokes and Laughs going on!

Most likely he had an issue or was Away. Any who, GG...
Rocket Racing - Anarchy Arches 2 (Achieving Unreal)
มุมมอง 10721 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
This was perfect timing as I hadn't uploaded an "Anarchy Arches 2" run in quite a long time. Even more exciting, it was my final race for getting past Champion Rank and back into Unreal once again! My route still needs some work, and I normally use the double boosters on the ceiling at the end followed by a Slingshot, but this time I was trying to find the sweet spot so I could instead, get in ...
Rocket Racing - Sidewinder (Route Strategy)
มุมมอง 9314 วันที่ผ่านมา
This was an ok run for Sidewinder (time wise). I mainly posted this to show the strategy of how I go about this map. The route I take involves turboing through a hazard. Do note, there is a way of avoiding the hazard with this strategy but it can be difficult to do, but even so if done correctly, the negative effects of hitting the hazard can be minimal if you stack drift boost with turbo when ...
Rocket Racing - Lavish Lagoon (Personal Best)
มุมมอง 8414 วันที่ผ่านมา
This performance was when I played Ranked on another Alt account (I believe Rank was Diamond 3 at this time). This run could definitely have been improved had I not missed some boosters and other minor mistakes. This was my best run (time wise) by only a small margin but not as clean as I was hoping for. Had I not made some mistakes while also missing some boosters I honestly think I could have...

Rocket Racing - Tilted Turnpike (Personal Best)
มุมมอง 6421 วันที่ผ่านมา
Time wise this was my best run on Tilted Turnpike during a Ranked race. The run was pretty clean overall, but the main issue with it is I couldn’t get the Mag flip to happen in 2 parts of the map. If I can manage to nail the mag flips consistently I can then easily improve this run. As is, it’s not too bad. So I’ll take it! Not to mention my best runs seem to always happen when playing on my al...
Rocket Racing - Olympus (Personal Best)
มุมมอง 4121 วันที่ผ่านมา
This was a Non-Ranked (Casual) Race. I had trouble Que'ing on my main account for Ranked so I just hopped on one of my "Troll Name" alt accounts and joined the Casuals for fun. In turn, I ended up running my best race (time wise) for this map in particular. I know I made a few minor mistakes at a couple spots and I could have done even better if I nailed the "mag flips" at the canyon but still ...
Race 46 (Final) - Slap Happy (No-Turbo Challenge)
มุมมอง 89หลายเดือนก่อน
The reason this is the final race is because sadly I (like many others) had no idea that the ranks were going to reset the next day (being the day after I recorded this race). It was a real surprise as the notice of this was so last minute. Plus, the ranks in Rocket Racing were already reset just barely over a month ago before this one. I was so bummed as Rocket Racing normally had a separate r...

I want to point out that in the previous race I finished being at Champion 7%. Unfortunately in my next race, the Fortnite application got an error to which the game crashed and force exited. So after logging back in, I noticed (frustratingly) that my progress dropped from 7% back down to 4%....

One thing to take note of is 1st - 3rd normally gains you rank %. Sadly at Champion rank, if there's only 1/2 a lobby of players, then only 1st and 2nd will gain you %, while 3rd holds no gain, and 4th loses you 1%. Is what is it is....
Race 43 - Delirium (No-Turbo Challenge)
มุมมอง 39หลายเดือนก่อน
Racing on Delirium with some decent players is not so favorable for this challenge. There is a solid shortcut that can be taken (2 different ways of performing it) if you stack a large drift meter and use turbo which can give a massive gain ahead of others that don't do it. Unfortunately, this shortcut cannot be done effectively without Turbo leaving only the smaller shortcut near the end worth...

Ill beat this
Choice
Im not unreal rank but im an elite atm, no ones in elite so i cant rank higher but anyways ima try see ifji can beat somenof your records
1 of worst maps again
I hate this map
That was an insane race! GG both of you. Also why don’t you ever use the green boost pads? Does that slow down the flow of locking your drift and flipping away?
@@arikatomegaming In reference to the pads at the end I was trying to copy what Tentrix Jam does. If done correctly you can mag flip thrusting you forward which is faster than hitting the boost pads. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to pull off the mag flip as intended so I had to roll with it. Now, if this was Cliff Runner 2, I always use those boost pads there.
@ oh got it… 🔥
Smooth, what is your highest rank positon ?
@@lakzerk2344 season zero I finished at Unreal 240. Season 1 at best I was 203 (I didn’t care to grind after that). Since then I never cared about the number. I just made sure to make it to unreal and play
Keep it up!
@@T-Nandez I’ll try lol! To be honest, I think I could’ve finish much closer if I didn’t mess up at the very end. I got over anxious and messed up by using my turbo at the wrong moment.
Nice Win 💯
Thanks man! I used to blunder on this map ALOT by failing to hit the floating boosters or at times with tons of speed crashing straight into that mountain! I'm gettin there!
Hmm... can change a few things
@@Tentrixjam Of course
I couldn't even tell what's happening. What rank are you?
@@lindaruiz276 My main account is sitting at Champion right now, but skill-wise I’m good enough to sit at the rank of Unreal. I’ve ranked two other accounts to Unreal so far since reset (mainly for the cosmetics).
nice route! I'm gunna have to run it 😂
Yeah, I prefer turboing through the hazard instead of trying to go up into the attic. The attic can be a little faster but it’s so easy to screw up. I have Jayy.Doe to thank for this route idea. 😅
Goated
can always play by yourself without challenges to get up to champion 10% again real quick then continue
@@_DigitalDave_ That’s true. Maybe I should consider doing that.
Ggs, gave me funni route idea now i think
Jam! I’ve been hoping to see you do this challenge someday! You are so damn good! Seriously, Try it! It’s quite challenging once you get to Elite and I would really like to see what you do to keep your speed consistent.
Sorry just now seeing this and I might do it
Dang I found the second shortcut
Yeah the 2nd one can be useful, especially on lap 3. If you have at least 2 1/2 turbo bars filled by that time you can use 3 turbos till the end for a strong finish. I do it in my Delirium competitive race listed in the ‘RR Competitive’ Playlist. (Edited for grammar error)
just raced against you ggs
@@rohanisya2 Yeah! You were right behind me snapping at my back like a piranha on Dust Up 1 lol! GGs friend!
@@SKYMONKEY42you’re really good, I probably can’t catch you until I learn bhops
@@rohanisya2 Thanks. Yeah Bhops aren’t my specialty lol. Not yet. I can do maybe 1 good one but not back to back.
Yo we just raced on alpine, what was that path you took?!
@@basilford9780 oh that lol. At the beginning if you notice the road goes a ways then curves around to the right around the mountain which you can see the upper Road above you at the starting line. What you do is you take that upper road to the right going downward. You’re basically going the wrong way, but once you hit that checkpoint going down the checkpoint timer stops and then you will see a checkpoint off to the right, you have to go for that one by jumping up. That’s pretty much the ideal to goto route everybody is taking.
Ggs insane comeback 🔥
@@arikatomegaming thank you. I tried hard for 1st, but I’ll just take 2nd 😄
Oh dude....my heart sank seeing that ending :(
@@_DigitalDave_ lol… yeah I don’t know why I tried to drift further on that platform
Were these combos done with the help of mames cheat code file
@@jvega6381 I didn’t perform these but i can assure you these are all legit combos. There were 3 versions of the game 1.3, 1.4, 1.5. Certain glitches were performed based on certain versions of the game. Even the 1.5 version still had glitches.
woah that was an insane run! Why you not using boost though?
I'm doing the "No-Turbo Challenge". You basically remove your Turbo button and try ranking to Unreal without Turbo. It's tough! I'm 1/2 way through Elite right now! xD
@ oh that’s a tough challenge!
@@arikatomegaming yeah it sure is! 😅 I’m currently uploading a race series of the no turbo challenge. I currently have recordings making it to champion rank which I will upload them day by day in order.
W 🔥 this was an insane run. Also the username haha 😂🔥
lol, yeah, I wanted a funny alt name. 😂. Glad you like it.

Thx bud!
Dang I got my butt handed to me in that one!!! 😂❤ GGs 🔥
It’s all good! GGs man!
Are you the same SkyMonkey42 that played Mechcommander gold? if so we recently revived mcg over on gameranger care to join?
@@Flamethrowermk2 I am! I used to play it on game ranger about 3 years ago. Unfortunately when I switched to another ISP, game ranger would never correctly launch the game (issue is the ISP being so restrictive). Sadly, I won’t be able to play until I change my ISP. That will be soon though and I will surely come back! Tell Eratic_Cheese I said hello! He goes way back!
@@SKYMONKEY42 No problem, also we are active on discord feel free to stop by. btw i don't think cheese plays anymore he hasn't been online in months.
@@Flamethrowermk2 bummer. He was such a good player. Well I’ll stop by sometime.
Just encountered you on casual and immediately mellowed out and focused on some of my weekly quests lol
@@mvl666_darkrio hey buddy! Yeah I saw you in the matches! Sorry about that, I was just killing some time. It was nice to see you! Add me if you like. Maybe we can practice speedruns sometime!
nice win
I'm amazed. Your route looks slower than the route I take, yet it's objectively way faster. I admire your understanding of the game! Very well executed.
I know for this route that I’m taking is not ideal and is most likely slower. So on the flipside I tried to build my turbo meter. When I got into the lead, I was trying to pour it on early. I just knew players would at some point catch up so I was banking on three turbos near the end to keep my position. I was lucky it worked out because dewder and Leo were closing in fast by the end. 😅
My friend and I hate this track, but I love your run on it.
I gotta admit, I hated this map for a long time until I started seeing how really good players were picking up so much speed. I worked on it in speedrun and saw some major results of improvement implementing what I learned. Also this run, I was extremely lucky to Bunnyhop off that guard rail as it was not intended, but hey! I’ll take it! 😅

Sick tricks!
Thanks man!
I just got into a race with u not to long ago. I'm a champ rank player and ur a very good player. My user is Dxrk-_-Rea1ity. You beat me in K2 Raceway. Keep up the good work
@@darksaiyan5792 yeah I saw you last night! I would’ve stayed longer and grouped with you but I had to leave. Was loads of fun. I’ll see you in game next time I’m on! 🫡
Absolutely unbelievable gameplay as always. Way to much time has gone into practicing that XD
Thanks man! I was gettin rusty on this one and it’s one of the few maps where I often hear this music. 😅
I'm so confused. I just played this map at champion 60% and was struggling to get top 4. So I look on youtube for a normal unreal race on that map and find yours. I kid you not you did the exact same strategies and mechanics I used, but I am unable to get anything better than 4th. Did everyone get that much better in the last 6 months or something?
@@Hydra48 odds are you were probably playing on NA-East. It seems a lot more top players play on that server. Try Central or West. You should have a better odds. The Competition has definitely increased. I took a two month break from the game, came back and a lot of my fellow rivals have left me in the dust. Especially on the new maps. Also, it seems a lot more people have really gotten used to doing “mag flips” More often. Many have improved quite a bit. What I’ve also noticed is I’ve seen some players that were really good at the new maps, but not so good at the older season 1 maps. Also keep in mind this video you commented on is pretty outdated. I do a different strategy now. I just haven’t uploaded a video of what works better.
@@SKYMONKEY42 I think I am on NA-East, it never even crossed my mind to change it lol. Yeah it's definitely harder than it was last season which I would've hit unreal by this point. You just described me because I am significantly better at most of the newer maps than the super old ones, not sure why. I did notice that this video was outdated, but I was specifically looking for unreal runs that weren't world records. I'll take your advice to try Central or West and will keep looking out to try and find new strategies on these maps. Thanks!
@@Hydra48 sounds good if you want go ahead and add me, I play on Skymonkey42_YT Maybe we can get some games in. Oh, and by the way, try looking up LainRacing. He should have some videos that are useful for the old maps. I don’t think he plays anymore, but during season 1 he was quite good.
yo u still playing bud??
@@MG.92Plays hey man! Yeah I took a break for 2 months, I just came back about a week ago. I’m not so great at the new maps yet but I’ve managed to improve a decent bit on a lot of the others. I just don’t get to play like I used to but I’m working on it. 👍
Oh cool! What was your name in match? And thanks for the sub by the way!
Gg just played with you. You got the w. Gg. Subscribed
Eyes in the skies noobs! Cuz this absolute unit is flying high
Stunning performance and I cant believe even while booze croozin we still hitting numbers
This rank is so crazy it is undoubtedly a "Unreal" rank. Good Job!
After seeing so many of ur videos I can say this is certainly a hood classic moment! Great Racing :)
A new personal best!? Wow keep getting better my man :D
More people should see these videos! Lets go :)
Absolutely Unreal! Great times
AMAZING~!
You play on x box series x? Can you tell me if there is a delay in the races and how they are viewed on the console?
I play on PS5 only. I don't know about delays in the races but if you see delays in my video races it's because of Lag (my internet isn't the best). PS5 has the recording software. I use PS5 to cut the videos and also save a screenshot per video. Then I copy these files to a USB, I change the file names to keep track and then upload them to TH-cam.
Love the mag flip you added
Yeah, it was pretty good! Unfortunately, one of them didn’t go as planned lol but was lucky to still recover it. Thanks for watching.
YIPPPIE more vids to watch 🎉🎉
And more coming soon! I got my Unreal rank down to 290 yesterday and I recorded alot of videos within that progress. Should have them up within the next day or so.
NICE RACE!!!
Thanks Jam! I liked how clean this run was overall!
