Those last two style shots are wild, man. I really haven't seen anything quite so swanky on the ground. Usually people will montage freestyle aerials, and the ground game gets swept under the rug.
Great tutorial as usual. Good narration, great graphics and helpful content. I'd prefer no 'only text' parts though. The video feels a bit empty without your voice ;)
I found a great method for mind games, all you have to do is get the ball between you, the defender and the goal. Then what you do is go fast at the ball, then at last second go to the side of the ball and corner flip backwards so the ball goes the opposite direction into the goal. Its not very unique but it works pretty well.
Unfortunately at challenger 3 not many people understand shadowing but it comes naturally to me as an actual soccer defender. The best way to make someone mess up is to keep constant pressure and force them to focus on you not the goal.
Great video but I think one important think is missing. For a fake to work, the direction your opponent would have to block towards must not lead towards the ball. Otherwise he will try to block and end up shooting the ball anyway. Of course that can sometimes allow you an easy rebound, but I think that is the real reason why you drive to the side of the ball, so the opponents thinks you will angle the shot and jump in the (wrong) trajectory.
Hey dude. Amazing tutorial as always! I think you have only forgotten one important aspect. In lower ranks, people do not predict at all and will nust go for the ball instead. This means there is no point in faking because they will only see the ball and try to hit it. This is not to demenor your tutorial because it absolutely brilliant. I just wanted to point this out.
I feel like mind games work better against better players because they actually watch the dribbler and try to anticipate moves, but lower level players tend to just chase the ball and not pay attention to the dribbler so if u try a mind game with a lower level player they will just go straight for the ball and get it, so it's best just to dribble juke them instead of mind game juke them
It's probably one of the easiest advance skills you can learn. I've doing it since the game came out without even knowing the specifications of the skill lol
Great tutorial but I feel like one thing u should've said was a fake where u act like ur trying to mind game then then cutting the ball at the last second because high level players expect fakes because they know what a fake usually looks like it if it's obvious. So if u make them think ur gonna try and mind game then cut at the last second is a great technique
There are no fake-high-go-low fakes in this video (which is btw very good) It is similair to the fake aerial but with a lower risk. Basically you just make it look like you want to play the ball over the oponnent (like with flicks, bounceshots or airdribble) and then simply dont do it. The oponnent will go for a high block and you only have to put the ball under him. Example for fake air dribble: th-cam.com/video/Cu8N2Ov8GW4/w-d-xo.htmlm2s Example for fake pop and low challenge: th-cam.com/video/GGqrHRURuFg/w-d-xo.htmlm33s But you can also do this with ballcarries, where your opponent tries to dunk on you, but you block the ball and put it under him. :)
honestly Im all for better players but this frustrates me to no end when I do this and my enemy team sees what im doing but my teammate is so surprised by my jukes...like dude youre challenger 3 and you cant understand a fake out or a juke?
Up for a change of pace? My new FUNNY MOMENTS Compilation video here: th-cam.com/video/iy9gAvjm65Q/w-d-xo.html
Even if you know the skill itself, there's always things you learn from these tutorials. The production quality of these is unrivalled. loved it :D.

I appreciate this comment a lot. Thank you!
thank you mertzy from 4 years ago, congrats on 1 Mill!
More videos like these fucking amazing man
Now that I know what goes into a fake, they are even more enjoyable to watch
Those last two style shots are wild, man. I really haven't seen anything quite so swanky on the ground. Usually people will montage freestyle aerials, and the ground game gets swept under the rug.
please do passing next
Oh hey sofly I found you!
Dora cause you used your FUCKING MAP
Holy God! The Amount of editing you put into ur tutorials beats me ;)
great video man really helping
This deserves way more views!
Awesome video, it not only helps me with jukes but, it also helps out trying to save them
what a save, nice shot or calculated decitions decitions
A lot of times I fake intuitively, and a few times, by accident lol. Nice video, just funny looking graphics, I donated 5 euros to help you upgrade.
Appreciate it a ton!
Awesome video Mertzy! You can explain things very well. because of that I would love to see a Wave Dash tutorial! :)
Fantastic idea to make the juke or no juke game! nice vid
The best tutorial.ILY
Great video man! Unique idea too
Noizee Man you should upload more videos ._.
RetroLamb1400 you think so? Idk im too lazy xD
But I need videos ._.
4:39 I do these all the time...
Cuz I can't arial...
some of them doesnt work on low level competitive lol, so many ball chasers
what rank do you define as 'low level' ?
Brian Van den Berg prospect ranks
Julian Syaputra
What is ball chasing? Also Imm unranked but level 65
Cuddly going for the ball without judgement of being juked. Like you go straight for the ball
Julian Syaputra are you Indonesian?
Your editing style is so good :)
Smikkelbeer99 Rocket League smikkel!!!
Yesss a mindgame tutorial, thanks!
AMAZING VIDEO! It really helped me and was easy to learn, thanks!
nice video like that you put effort in it
really good tutorial skills!! thx for ur work
damn, that last goal was dope af mate.
Damn I'm Early. I love mindgames. I'm Op in 1v1 because. Just know your my 2nd fav RL TH-camr. Your channel is awesome m8
Oreo Gaming I am early too!
Liked most significantly for use of Esper in one of the example videos
Very informative and straight to the point! A sub earned :)
Really good tutorial. I love it!
Good job! Realley helps even for someone (me) who fakes quite often. :)
Amazing job as always
Awesome video as always, thanks !
what are your graphics settings? they look really good :o
Nice tutotial. :)
What the track id in 7:30?
Really nice video dude! Respect! How much time did you offer for the Video?!
This video was mesmerising.
That was a great video! Perhaps you could make a video on how to react when your opponent is using these techniques?
Great video it helped me soooo much
Before I watched this video I could barely fake but after watching it I reckon I could get a few people haha thanks!
Bruh imagine how long ago this was that shadow defense wasn't common knowledge yet
The shadowing technique is used in soccer/football to defend as well.
Old Mertzy video... feels like I just went through a time portal
6:25 always works 100% of the time
very good video ! passing tutorial would be awesome its not that well covered on TH-cam and I need one to show to my friends
Great tutorial as usual. Good narration, great graphics and helpful content. I'd prefer no 'only text' parts though. The video feels a bit empty without your voice ;)
Great job as usual :)
Nice vid! Subscribed.
Sick man, thanks!
Am i the only one who thinks its satisfying to just watch them flailling across the air hitting nothing

how to do this shot? 3:35 :| i've trying a lot :/ but cant do it
Rafsan Samin you have to put the ball on your roof then jump once and you could add a forward dash to give the ball a bit more momentum
camera settings u use?
Check the video I made about my camera settings!
Mertzy ty i will
Mertzy i use your camera settings you had in your freestyle tutorial video :D
I'll be honest... the last part of the video earned my like lol wd
Proper did it meyyyt!
Good vid really helped
been using shadowing since prospect thanks to fifa lol
darkls14 Haha I was thinking about making a football reference actually!
darkls14 shadowing since unranked
Great video but I think one important think is missing. For a fake to work, the direction your opponent would have to block towards must not lead towards the ball.

very good details
Great tutorial
more of these please!!!! :D

Right, that's really important actually. Top tier expects jukes and low tear don't even know it's a thing. Thanks (:
I like your tutorial for this but I think it’s something I might just have to learn on my own
mertzy can you please do an updated version of this!? pls
I got a 4/4
Dan dan and you got 4 likes
As esxpected from MERTZY 😊
Nice Video dude :)
Nice vid! :D
Nice tutorial! I could fake'em ass off
i noticed you havent put in where you fake a fast ground shot and just pop up the ball to the top of the goal
I feel like mind games work better against better players because they actually watch the dribbler and try to anticipate moves, but lower level players tend to just chase the ball and not pay attention to the dribbler so if u try a mind game with a lower level player they will just go straight for the ball and get it, so it's best just to dribble juke them instead of mind game juke them
Ohh nice video!!
Can you add your camera settings please :P
متابعك من السعودية ، شكرا
Thank you
what are your cam settings
What's the song of the dramatic music in the first few seconds?
Updated the description! It's the first song, there's a link to it (:
Do a video on positioning for begginers!
mostly 2's! but all 3 would be awsome
It's probably one of the easiest advance skills you can learn. I've doing it since the game came out without even knowing the specifications of the skill lol
Freestyle air dribble plz
yeah
next one: How to outplay a mindgamer!!
I.Love.You.-.Your.Fakes.The.Best.
Jon Sandman needs to watch this video :)
guessed it 4\4 love mind games

Overall. This was very in depth and love ur tutorials man :D

Wow! that intro, lol!
Ty
I always do shadowing and nobody scored after faking me yet
i got them all right
who is better Mertzy.or jhzer??
Don't focus on who's better, focus on how to improve yourself
Example 3 is the muffin topper
Keep in mind that this very rarely works unless you are playing blue ranked players and above.
That's my experience anyway.
