I’ve literally seen ppl do that in plat and diamond lobbies.. unfortunately ok, nvm not like that. Commented that before I saw what he did lol. But he was clearly messing with that. I’ve never seen anyone do that in plat or diamonds
@TriumphanT Tizzy fr I saw that wayton video about smurfs. But I mean I'm here to have fun. And at the end of the day a surf isn't going to effect that for me. It's video games. People are going to do what they do.
I don't think the issue is whether you're using too many or too few mechanics (there is a wide range of abilities at any rank), but more so the fact that your movement is so clean and quick without any mistakes. If you really want to get to SSL without mechanics, you need to do it with some like random weird controller or control scheme so your muscle memory doesn't carry over.
This is exactly what I was thinking too. It's not so much the use of mechanics but the ball sense and game sense you have and the ability to execute based off of your opponents actions. I've been a hard stuck D2/3 for the longest time. Every so often I creep into C1 but I'm too inconsistent to progress farther
But it's supposed to be showing that you can get these ranks without mechanics. You can't get to SSL using zero mechanics and zero game sense/ zero movement.
Your shooting consistency is much better than a normal diamond. Not using “mechanics” doesn’t make that much of a difference when your shots hardly miss
Another thing, even though he’s accurate he’s not exactly using crazy advanced shots. Most are a simple front flip shot. Now when he said going for a basic air dribble and then the next shot was a off the wall reset with perfect control that’s definitely not 0 mechs lol
That's the point of ranking out of diamond. How are you suppose to rank out of diamond If you are playing like a diamond? That defeats the purpose. HOW TO RANK OUT OF DIAMOND MEANS LEARN AND MASTER THE BASICS. This whole ariel, air dribble, resets etc is irrelevant if you are below GC3
I know he makes it look so easy, but I feel like you need to have the confidence of a gc to be so calm in some of those situations. Like I don't know if I would be able to save the goals so easily, but he knows. But I think the video is great and most diamond players should watch it to learn how to be calm and focused in games.
its hardly applicable what he does in a real diamond lobby. everything he does from soft touches to ball control, taking 50s etc is very clearly a muscle memory he has from being a higher ranked player.
I’m very excited to see the C2 rank. That’s about where I’m at and it feels so weird cuz some games you get gc’s that actually know what they’re doing then you get people fresh out of Diamond then you get hard stuck champs that only know how to dive lol 😂
This is the exact rank I am in now in duos. It's rare that people can air dribble let alone do it cleanly. I would love to hear more about how you're reading the play. I think one of the keys to ranking up is being able to read your opponents. But the higher you get in rank the more you have to read your opponents and be aware of their threats. From a defensive standpoint this is one of the more difficult parts. Like when challenging, how do I recognize the best time to go?
I just made a comment on this and I fluctuate between High d3 and low d2. I only get to play once or so a week. Decision making is key and ballgame control and double commits are huge
yeah i’m in this rank also, but i keep trying to do what like is doing but i can’t seem to get the hang of it. i keep losing, but i feel like i’m doing the right stuff
No, people at this rank can definitely do it consistently and cleanly. They just don’t usually pull it out in ranked games. I know this because I duod with someone here and he never did fancy stuff, but in our practice arena pre game he was air dribbling and flip resetting very well. I am no where close to that personally, but I bet it’s more common to have the skill than we see in game. That said, I do see air dribbles once every game or two even if they aren’t clean. There was one guy today that did two amazing air dribbles in a row and my teammate and I didn’t have a clue of how to stop it.
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
the higher u get the higher the diff is like a 500MMR gold can win somtimes against his 800MMR plat friend but a 1500GC would never take a game out of a 1800MMR SSL
This is a series of how a high level player can make do with less EXCEPT when it really counts, just aerial, speed flip, recovery, reset, soft touch and save the day.
Yeah my man speed flipped and said you could just front flip there??? Why doesn't he show us SSL gameplay and then take every shot and make it simpler it would be the exact same thing
Yeah exactly. A lot of high level players use their mechanics a lot, but this series is just about not using them until they’re needed. I’ll say as a diamond in a couple of these situations I would not be able to save it. Either I wouldn’t get there fast enough or I’d make a bad save leaving an open net.
Most of the so called “speedflips” in diamond untill GC+ are a hybrid of the oldschool fast kickoff. But instead of a diagonal flip they use a sideflip. Cause alot of people can’t tell the difference between a speedflip and a sideflip. If you fast kickoff it has a similar result as the speedflip just quite a bit slower. Nevertheless it still alowes you to shoot the ball right over your opponent and score directly, just like a speedflip. Seriously guys, don’t get this confused. If you learn how to speedflip, do everything step by step. Else you will develop super bad habits.
@@jaydenijtsma1134 that's what I thought as well, if you want to improve just watch a tutorial and get muscle memory for the actual speed flip instead of something else that is potentially wrong
Hey I would love a video on proper positioning. Not even a lesson, just an hour of examples and explaining in detail why you are where you are, or maybe comm can help. I would love that I have so much trouble knowing which position I need to be in. I'm sitting high c2/low c3 solo queue only. I'm not gonna go get a tm8 to hit GC either. But would love a breakdown on positioning based off everyone's speed and boost
I especially have trouble when the ball is being played off wall, and when I need to be on offense, but not attacking. And when I need to be on defence but not directly defending. But defending an area
Tbh I think the biggest problem that ppl can't rank up is other people and themselves. It is other people telling them at their first miss with the quick chat that they are trash and themselves by wanting to prove themselves to a random dude, which is probably living in the basement of their mom's house.
When I play in diamond on an alt I literally saw players consistently hitting multiple resets. I met a diamond 'freestyler' in cas 1s (hardstuck diamond not smurfing) who quad stall reset on me. Obviously they were lacking in other departments and losing to players with worse mechanics, but genuinely they had as good or better 'flashy mechanics' as an SSL and better than me.
you let me realize how easy it is to read other opponents and get your mind not committed on freaking out and lose goals. its really nice you do this and wanted to know if you have a video of getting out of diamond but not just out of diamond on how to do things but like mechanical? i don't know if i missed your video's or not but let me please know with a couple of vids urls for me to watch, thankyou!
My biggest issue (idk if anyone can relate) has always been being too hype if that makes sense, I be so hyped in game to play and react to stuff that I tend to either play dummy agro or I mess up on mechs. When I play chill, I play good and I think SO many of us need this advice imo, lol we all just need to chill we aren’t rlcs
not using many mechanics, its just the basics are literally perfect, like the ball control is amazing, and so is car control, which is what most diamonds don't have
Been following for a long time now but this has to be my favorite series, so helpful, love it 👌. Also very helpful to observe your boost management through each of the different ranks
@@aidanconrad6117 don’t be dumb. Most diamonds don’t speed flip, including most of the diamonds in this video. What’s the point of a “no mechanics” series where he’s using more than basic mechanics for that rank?
Agreed with @daq.. instead of changing to a speedflip, adjust the kickoff to not get beat in some other way, like a person with less mechanics would have to do.
Luke i have a very similar mmr to you in this video and most people can speed flip in diamond/champ so its good to improve your use of mechanics Arials
more demo plays, advanced powerslide control, boost starving, power flicks, only to name a few. i recommend watching waytons video with a 1s pro, he teaches you about boost starving and proper ones techniques
@@prcxiale1124 thanks, yeah I have watched that. I feel like 1s really changes metas through every rank a lot, I'd love to see some analysis from gold through champ. I'm pretty stuck in plat in 1s right now
@@richpeters9601 The flakes series is a year and a half old now, watching these plat matches compared to what plat 1s is like today is a still useful, but you have to apply the later parts imo. Maybe if I want an updated series like this I should just work on it myself, carrying my own ass out of plat in the process
The ball control & ability to execute your exact intentions at all times IS A REAL MECHANICAL SKILL & ONLY COMES WITH LOGGING SERIOUS HOURS IN GAME. I realize this blows up the premise of all these “get guud” flex videos but if you’re seriously trying to be helpful instead of getting clicks & selling coaching, you should be transparent about the amount of hours it takes/took you to master the nuances of regular, nonflashy ball & car control.
Great Video! Although I think you under estimated the game sense of current diamonds. A lot of diamonds make themselves available for infield passes nowadays so you can add that to your next video.
Zero fancy mechanics but great and powerful shooting as well as perfect defense so it would be pretty easy without any fancy mechs. I think it’s really hard still because no dribbling and air dribbling is the main factor
Ballcam control is huge and not spoke about enough. The difference between not knowing and knowing where your opponents are and if you can beat them to the ball.
it's not that you're using too many mechanics for diamond, you're using less than diamonds would, it's that you're doing it very consistently lmao... as a diamond, that's the hard part down here :,)
I mean...it is possible to win Diamond with 0 mechanics but it's way too hard and depends who you match up with. Basic aerial, control, shadowing and flicking is necessary even if you're not consistent to progress further. As you saw in Platinum and Diamond, some people are practicing advance mechanics like speed flipping so if you don't know even some basic stuff then you will be most likely rolled by other team. So if you do occasional flick and save by shadowing is totally okay in this rank.
where do you find such a chill lobby to play in? I don't get the luxury in diamond of a teammate who has the slightest amount patience. they'd have already run me over and stolen several times in the first minute of gameplay
Dudes surprised that his first tm8 is trying to speed flip. Yes d2 they start to have mechanics and can hit “crazy” things it’s just the consistency isn’t there yet. So speed flips, half flips, Air dribbling. Shoot even ceiling shots is a thing. It’s just the consistency. Otherwise I play against a Smurf almost every game.
crazy how we are were in different d2. because for me d2 were just slightly more faster and slightly less stupid plat, and i didn’t not see any of the things you mentioned
I think regions differ, and I also think time of day differs. When school lets out, the game play gets noticeably stupider because the kids get on to play, for example.
You're pretty much spot on about the consistency in diamond. I just hit champ recently. And all through diamond you see games where ppl are speedflipping and air dribbling. And like you said I've definitely seen a few cieling shots and resets that were done clearly not by smurfs cause you can tell they practice those shots and nothing else. While you're next few games ppl can't even hit the ball and just boost towards the ball on kick off.
You played like me but a lot cleaner 😂 your mechanics were on point for a diamond they trying to have you do to much cause they go for them and aren’t successful lol
Im d3 and i can say he's not doing enough. Anybody diamond thinking that he is doing too much just doesn't have the mindset and can understand the methods as to what he is doing to win and move up let's be honest.
I hit champ just as this video came out today! I almost cried, I’m so excited! Thanks for all your help Spook your videos are so helpful and helped me make the move into champ!
I feel like the thing that makes this hard to apply for diamonds isn't so much the level of mechanics. It's that a diamond does not have the game sense, the reads, or the car/ball control to play like this. It's very easy to say something like "and here I'm just gonna catch the ball and keep it close so I can cut it and get around the defender", but if you ask the average diamond to do this, chances are their touch will be all wrong and the ball rolls off for a perfect setup to the closest opponent who bangs it right in your net. Similar with some defensive situations. It's easy to say "don't flip/commit too early, just take it easy, wait for the right time", but for the average diamond, the decision making and the reads aren't there. Seeing and understanding how your opponent moves, what touch they will make, what threat there is, just how long you can wait, exactly how much of the net you're covering, etc. are incredibly advanced skills where a GC/SSL just can't put themselves into the mind of a diamond. It won't play out the same.
maaaaaan i wish my diamond games were this easy. im a champ in 2s ow but my diamond games were a whole lot harder than this. yes, obviously I dont have the understanding he does, but my games were so much more difficult..
Why all these other diamonds so angry about the “no mechanics”claim. He’s telling us what we need to do and everyone is just like “nah we’re not good enough can’t you just give champ to us for free.”
"zero mechanics" *does a flip reset in the 2nd game*
I’ve literally seen ppl do that in plat and diamond lobbies.. unfortunately ok, nvm not like that. Commented that before I saw what he did lol. But he was clearly messing with that. I’ve never seen anyone do that in plat or diamonds

crazy how we are were in different d2. because for me d2 were just slightly more faster and slightly less stupid plat, and i didn’t not see any of the things you mentioned
I think regions differ, and I also think time of day differs. When school lets out, the game play gets noticeably stupider because the kids get on to play, for example.
You're pretty much spot on about the consistency in diamond. I just hit champ recently. And all through diamond you see games where ppl are speedflipping and air dribbling. And like you said I've definitely seen a few cieling shots and resets that were done clearly not by smurfs cause you can tell they practice those shots and nothing else. While you're next few games ppl can't even hit the ball and just boost towards the ball on kick off.
You played like me but a lot cleaner 😂 your mechanics were on point for a diamond they trying to have you do to much cause they go for them and aren’t successful lol
Im d3 and i can say he's not doing enough. Anybody diamond thinking that he is doing too much just doesn't have the mindset and can understand the methods as to what he is doing to win and move up let's be honest.
I guess I should learn those delayed flips to power shoot
Flakes is gonna fight you irl 😂
no mechanics - proceeds to flip reset
I hit champ just as this video came out today! I almost cried, I’m so excited! Thanks for all your help Spook your videos are so helpful and helped me make the move into champ!
Nice one bro!
Everyone here until Leth’s road to ssl
SPOOKLUKE I HAVE DEFEATED YOU!!! ( i found an actually mechanical plat)
Perfect video for me
Diamonds can speed flip, so def do it
What mod are you using to track MMR in game like that?
thx bro i’m tryna a find ways to get better and rank out
Holy shit! How many “whoosh” sound effects does your video need??
Just hit c1 and I started practicing my mechanics and dropped back to d2😂
Mistic not supposed to be here. Neither is spooke luke ! lol
air dribbles from the ground, all the way from your net.
yeah... zErO MeChaNiCs
u help me so mutch thanks
Spook doesnt expect speedflips or half flips from lower ranks whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat...
I tried everything ! I been diamond for almost a year 😐
As a diamond I can say there’s a lot of people who can speed flip in diamond
I feel like the thing that makes this hard to apply for diamonds isn't so much the level of mechanics. It's that a diamond does not have the game sense, the reads, or the car/ball control to play like this.
It's very easy to say something like "and here I'm just gonna catch the ball and keep it close so I can cut it and get around the defender", but if you ask the average diamond to do this, chances are their touch will be all wrong and the ball rolls off for a perfect setup to the closest opponent who bangs it right in your net.
Similar with some defensive situations. It's easy to say "don't flip/commit too early, just take it easy, wait for the right time", but for the average diamond, the decision making and the reads aren't there. Seeing and understanding how your opponent moves, what touch they will make, what threat there is, just how long you can wait, exactly how much of the net you're covering, etc. are incredibly advanced skills where a GC/SSL just can't put themselves into the mind of a diamond. It won't play out the same.
I wish I could like this comment a million times to move it up to the top. I don't think people who do these videos realize this
he made my rank look so bad holy
maaaaaan i wish my diamond games were this easy. im a champ in 2s ow but my diamond games were a whole lot harder than this. yes, obviously I dont have the understanding he does, but my games were so much more difficult..
Just wait till somebody make him mad and just starts hitting flip resets
In 2's I'm a D2-3 and I literally played with *********** the other day, same car and everything hahah XD
Why all these other diamonds so angry about the “no mechanics”claim. He’s telling us what we need to do and everyone is just like “nah we’re not good enough can’t you just give champ to us for free.”
Bruh i dont know if its just me but i learned how to speed flip when i was in like silver or early gold is this not a easy mechanic?
It workt watching your video,s.
I swear I wish I was that smart while playing😂
