ElaChokes Nah ur all wrong, plats can do all of those things they just can’t do em with power or consistency and squishy knows that if he goes for those he will hit them like a pro and not a plat 3
Road to GC without carrying lol the reason we are stuck in the ranks we are is because we are not good enough to carry our team like he does. It’s very dependent on how well we play WITH our teammates. So if he gave his team more responsibility, it would be interesting to see how he plays. Normal players can’t just carry their teammates like this
Squishy: really all you need to do is bang it to get to champ... Also Squishy: I literally dont know how not to airdribble flip reset double tap and score every time
I mean, it's always a good idea. Act as a perpetual and reliable last man and let them chase. Boom the ball again and again and steal the big boosts. It seems to work most of the time.
What he said^^ Squishy has repeated many times to just make things easier on your tm8, so in most games I play my main focus is to pass the ball, and generally keep it to the opponents side while my partner goes nuts. I’m a ball chasers dream 😂
Hey Squishy just wanted to let you know, this series (and this video in particular) helpes me out a lot! I am ranked around d1-d2, d3 on a good grinding session. Still not consistent enough for champ, though ^^ However, I got on quite the big losing streak going down from 1100mmr (diamond 2) to 750mmr (plat 1). I thought, no matter the teammates, I would get back to d1 eventually just because I am faster and more consistend than other players in this rank. Just like you climb through ranks, no matter what your teammates do. But I was stuck in there for 2 weeks now and not "because of my teammates holding me back", but because I actually suck. I actually lost games because of few mistakes I made. This kept me thinking. I couldnt quite figure out what I was doing wrong or different to my usual playstyle. But just after watching this video today, I got on a winning streak climbing from 750mmr to 880mmr in a big sweap. Dominating the entire game every game, by beeing muuuch faster than the enemies and hitting shots I havent hit in a long time (like 90% of my airdribbles ended up in goals, 90% of my flicks I attempted got around minimum one enemy etc.). It felt realy good and I started to notice the change in my playstyle. I now know what I did wrong and why I lost ranks so quickly. I tried to implement passing plays and realy started to play together with my team. However, my consistency and my game sense wasn't good enough to have backup-plans. I always wanted to receive passes and ended up extremly out of positioning if no pass came through etc. But after watching this video I noticed my "new" mentality: "let's see what my teammate does with this ball...., nice attempt, I can take this now" Seeing you bringing the ball middle and instantly doing a 180° and rotating middle really stuck to me ^^ And honestly this was one of the main things that helped me get back my consistency. Because now instead of reacting to enemies shots and then trying to come up with the best play to make in the current situation, I was now always hovering around mid-field, watching the play develop and reacting to it just in time when the opponent loses posession for a sec. That kept the pressure insanely high for the opponents leading to them missing a save eventually. Thanks for providing this insight and teaching me how to get back my consistency! Much love, and keep up your great content. Been watching your content since the day I started playing RL and helped me out ever since ^^!
I always listen to your "How to improve" videos when Im in freeplay, then I say to me: Ok this is going to be a good match, I won't blame my mates, I will pick up more boost pads and save the replay to analyse my faults. *Game starts* Mate 1: AFK Mate 2: AFK Me: Savage! Savage! Savage!

@@bradleyblow7086 yeah it was a week ago me and jaj were considering an early ff but we decided it could be a learning experience lol we knew he was smurfing only by the way he moves trough the map
Squishy, I just found this series and cannot thank you enough. The series made me realise how far I've come on as a player thorugh all the old ranks (even though only diamond 1). And also showed me, the type of thing I need to start learning next and where I am lacking, really fun series to watch too! Thanks for keeping it fun
Watching squishy getting impressed of the low ranks is like watching the typical dad that says "school was harder in my times" actually going back to school.
It's like I'm watching Squishy do a wildlife documentary. "We're just going to launch the ball. Let's see how the indigenous Diamond species react." "Let's slowly hit the ball up to bait in the alpha ball hog, the pack leader if you will." "Next we're going to cut rotation to blend in with the native ballchasers." "What a save! What a save! Ah yes, the proud mating call of the very toxic 1k ELO bullfrog"
"I'm not doing anything a diamond wouldn't do" Nah, squishy still has the game sense of a pro, which means he knows when to challenge and when not to, which puts him far above a diamond already
As a low diamond player whos strugling to keep my rank, i can say that one of the most desmoralizing thing that can happen is facing a Smurf. It really sucks knowing that no matter what you do, the other guy has 3k hours in the game or more, and can outplay all your moves. And its not like playing against a high diamond, that is a little better than you, and you learn from your defeat, its a guy doing things you cant even think of doing, and all you can do is lose. Ps: english is not my primary language, so sorry for any misspelling
I couldn’t agree more, it’s a problem in lots of games, but in rocket league 1 smurf can easily outplay 2 people and carry games, very demoralising. I found this video really useful, but I’m still way against smurfs.

Stop stressing about your rank. Not sure where you're at 9 months later but use those games to your advantage. Try to understand why they're better than you. Work on those things and then you'll kick their ass next game.
@@nathanealakre9634 I'm not stressing about rank. I'm stressing about the players in that rank. I want to have fun and great plays. What I get is tm's who mis easy to hit balls or toxic ego players.
all those ppl in the comments bragging bout hitting ceilings when they were/are gold. Pls understand everything that goes on net in gold goes in even the slowest of shots
zlBooster And that without any doubt they had no control over the ball, just that they came from the ceiling and hit it into a goal defended by gold players. (or empty lol)
It's not being funny, it is the context of how he said it especially since all video he been doing high elo mechanics. And I haven't seen another diamond in this video do that flick to ball challenge.
for all the gold's that can "hit ceiling shots", its simple to come off the ceiling and flip into the ball, but can you hit your shot to the upper 90? or with any precision at all to beat a good defender? no you can't. you can't even manage your boost to make that possible lol
Yes I can not everytime but yes I can also hit musty ceiling shots just saying not trying so sound like that just saying there is some people thst spend most of there time freestyling
@@waylonhumphreys4919 lol you must be real bad a defense, rotations, positioning, and challenging than cause I am in diamond and I have never done a ceiling shot or musty flick.
I really like this content because he simply proves that good reads and timing is what brings a win just as much as good mechanics. It’s a good example of how to get better even if you’re still struggling on certain mechanics. Perfect video for mid rank players trying to move up.
Squishy: *hits crazy double touch, out dribbles whole team, etc.* "Nothing too crazy." Also Squishy: Probably shouldn't have gone for that, the aerial was a little high
@@callmedeebow if you can hit ceiling shots and you’re still in plat, there is something severely lacking in your gameplay. Just having a brain and some game sense gets you to champ. High game sense and low mechanical skill = champ Low game sense and high mechanical skill = plat
Nothing more annoying than when he constantly talks down their potential gameplay because of their rank , some people just dont play rank that much . i know golds who hit some crazy shots , anyone without a grandchamp title is just bronze mechanics to gc's i could see a "champs CoUlD pOwErShOt?!" Video being a thing (even tho i know this series has been long done ) just an example of how annoying this title is
Look at Lethamyr’s channel - he and Rapid did a road to GC and had a different challenge in each rank! I believe one was a no boost challenge, they did one where they couldn’t cross midfield on the ground (had to aerial to the opponents half), and a bunch of other stuff. It was very entertaining!!
I honestly love the fact that Squishy plays according to the current skill-level. This shows people from those ranks how to play 'perfect' even with their lack of mechanics. Ofcourse Squishy could just play his best, but I think this is helping some people way more.
I have 200 hours within the last 3 months on my Smurf p2-d3. There are A LOT of mechanical players who think they are squishy and play fairy fast and have mechanical aptitude. This is a good video for those type of players. Road to gc between squishy and Rizzo is different and for good reason. Different types of players and ways of playing the game to rank up. If I was low rank and mechanically advanced I would appreciate these videos a lot.
That guy who was trying to do a ceiling shot in this video...I'm just trying my best guys....car soccer is awesome lol. Big fan though squishy, love this series, never thought I would end up being a part of it!!!! -Lezahnya
That's the problem about diamonds/platinums, isnt it? Diamonds go for stupid, unnecessary fancy stuff, and most of the time, miss the ball. Focusing on the core mechanics takes you to champ 2-3 really quick
@@falaska1099 focusing on fancy mechanics sets you up for being a better player in every way. When you've been doing fancy things (resets, air dribbles, stalls) since plat, you get car control and an understanding of the ball once you're c3 that u cant get any other way really. People that say stuff like this just don't put time into mechanics and when someone else is better they make excuses to make themselves feel better lol. In reality fancy things teaches you ALL other mechanics that are important for ranking up. Game sense comes with time...
This is like, exactly what its like when pro's show up to the local rec center to play. I've played hockey with some NHL players before, and its just like this. You can tell they aren't trying even a bit, but occasionally you see spurts of muscle memory come out and they go WAY faster than anyone else on the rink. Its funny to see it in video game form
I'm a diamond 2 div 3 I feel like all the videos such as every rocket league player ever described all Diamond players perfectly been hitting them since high gold not hard once you get it down. Love the videos though keep up the good work you're the goat. ❤️
People say stuff like this ironically because you sound dumb n your lying. Also “focused on mechanics n positioning” if you have them both down you are gc. 100% of the time. Get your head outa your ass.
Hamish Stein lmao when I was gold I stopped playing ranked for a while and just played free play because I had no one to play with and when I started playing ranked again i was diamond 2 in 2s
Fr im c1 sometimes low c2 and I barely even see any double touches. People go for them including myself but at a very low success rate whether it be from accuracy or just getting defended
itssapir that is true, the set up needs to be faster than squishy did and the opponents need to be without boost to even get a chance to hit the double touch. But even tho if i get a chance to score those i will maybe hit 1 out of 5
Double taps start to become more consistent in champ2/3. In diamond, people start to learn to attempt them more commonly than plat, but 8.5/10 attempts, it is a miss and free possession.
15:39 is very true. I hit GC this season for the first time. I can do ceiling shots and a little air dribbling and that’s as crazy as my mechanics get. Just having the basics down, and then passing and rotation are the most important things.
“Why do they keep leaving” *proceeds to hit double taps*
Beowulf lmao
"not doing anything crazy, honestly..."
Dude, you're destroying them!
H. R. S. S loool right, if I could dribble indefiand then go for air dribbles I wouldn’t be losing in plat 😭
"But was that too much?"
Yes squishy, yes it was
He doesn't get that just having perfect positioning and not making mistakes, is "too crazy for diamond" lol
Squishy: That double touch wasn’t that good. When my brother was diamond he could do that.

all those ppl in the comments bragging bout hitting ceilings when they were/are gold. Pls understand everything that goes on net in gold goes in even the slowest of shots
hey I've got you added on steam, wazzup
zlBooster And that without any doubt they had no control over the ball, just that they came from the ceiling and hit it into a goal defended by gold players. (or empty lol)
zlBooster I was bangin reset ceiling shots in silver 1 dude. Some of us are just gods, sorry. GC now and can beat any pro 😎
Jonesy delete this before you look like a fool
Jonesy holy shit this is the cringiest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life seriously
Gets ceiling shot dunked on
Next play
"I would go off the wall here but i'm diamond and can't do that"
xd
Squishy: “I’m not gonna score that at Diamond wouldn’t do that”
Also Squishy: *Scores a goal upside down
Hearing you explain your gameplay to me is like a calculus professor explains calculus to a 3rd grader.
Musty: I'm going to be 2nd to 1 million
Squishy: hold my muffinz
11:24 "I am trying to be diamond....."
*does some high elo car flick to challenge and wins*
"...... A pretty good diamond"
Yeah Okay Squishy
Are u diamond or like silver
@@dawnslayerz4129 he's trying to be funny don't mind him
It's not being funny, it is the context of how he said it especially since all video he been doing high elo mechanics. And I haven't seen another diamond in this video do that flick to ball challenge.
@@dawnslayerz4129 I am Diamond 1 and never see those mechanics.
FabØss well that’s because you’re diamond 1
6:03
Teammate : *FAIL*
Squishy : « My teammate is actually insane »
“I’m not going to do anything too crazy.” *Proceeds to aerial into a turtle goal*
Squishy is the Bob Ross of Rocket League.
for all the gold's that can "hit ceiling shots", its simple to come off the ceiling and flip into the ball, but can you hit your shot to the upper 90? or with any precision at all to beat a good defender? no you can't. you can't even manage your boost to make that possible lol
facts
Yes I can not everytime but yes I can also hit musty ceiling shots just saying not trying so sound like that just saying there is some people thst spend most of there time freestyling
@@waylonhumphreys4919 lol you must be real bad a defense, rotations, positioning, and challenging than cause I am in diamond and I have never done a ceiling shot or musty flick.
Squishy: “I gotta stop going for crazy things, I gotta stop I gotta stop I gotta stop”
*proceeds to dribble and flick the entire team*
I've watched plats air dribble and he's like we're in Ariel territory when he's playing diamonds
I k or right
Bruh
I really like this content because he simply proves that good reads and timing is what brings a win just as much as good mechanics. It’s a good example of how to get better even if you’re still struggling on certain mechanics. Perfect video for mid rank players trying to move up.
Squishy: *hits crazy double touch, out dribbles whole team, etc.* "Nothing too crazy."
Also Squishy: Probably shouldn't have gone for that, the aerial was a little high
"I hit ceiling shots in plat"
- People that don't know how to play defense
:)))))))
That was me a year ago and now im gc :)
Cant hit a ceiling shot OR play defense and Im D2 :D
This makes no sense. You’re probably a bronze
@@callmedeebow if you can hit ceiling shots and you’re still in plat, there is something severely lacking in your gameplay. Just having a brain and some game sense gets you to champ.
High game sense and low mechanical skill = champ
Low game sense and high mechanical skill = plat
Squishy: I haven’t done anything crazy
Me: still attempting to go up the wall
1:43 "and my team mate with the nice finish" That's funny, because judging by their name and ping they were Finnish :D
The white Zombas with voltaic outer hurts my brain
That turtle flick was so smooth. I don't understand how you can put so much time into perfecting every dumb mechanic in the game.
16:07 "nothing crazy guys, just a normal diamond pleb" yeah right LOL
Squishy: diamonds don’t go for that stuff
Diamonds: uhhh yea we do bud
we just don't hit lol
Nothing more annoying than when he constantly talks down their potential gameplay because of their rank , some people just dont play rank that much . i know golds who hit some crazy shots , anyone without a grandchamp title is just bronze mechanics to gc's i could see a "champs CoUlD pOwErShOt?!" Video being a thing (even tho i know this series has been long done ) just an example of how annoying this title is
8:05
Teammate: Grabs 100 boost from back left.
8:21
Squishy: "I only took the ball because it seemed like my teammate had no boost."
Me: "Say what?!"
to be fair his tm didnt use a single bit of boost lol
Squishy: im gonna play like a diamond
The diamond players: he could be anyone of us
Squishy: "I haven't hit anything crazy yet
Also Squishy: hits double tap, ceiling shot, crazy aerial, and air dribble
Squishy: I can't end on that, I'll play one more
Me: sees there are 14 minutes left in the video
Oh, okay.
Yes i can confirm diamonds can hit ceiling shots... although they lack in positioning and communication generally.
You should do road to gc in 2s with a second person like rizzo and make it a challenge by not using boost up to plat or something
Look at Lethamyr’s channel - he and Rapid did a road to GC and had a different challenge in each rank! I believe one was a no boost challenge, they did one where they couldn’t cross midfield on the ground (had to aerial to the opponents half), and a bunch of other stuff. It was very entertaining!!
That’s the road to gc that would be perfect for Rizzo and Sizz to do together. I wish they would.
@@kylekramer7290 thats very boring
11:30 " guys I'm starting to think Kevin's pretty good!" 😂🤣
i’m diamond and personally can see what makes you so much better than them. the consistent strength in your clearances are just insane
I honestly love the fact that Squishy plays according to the current skill-level. This shows people from those ranks how to play 'perfect' even with their lack of mechanics. Ofcourse Squishy could just play his best, but I think this is helping some people way more.
Devbom but he doesnt
Squishy u don’t know me but I’ve been in a wheelchair my whole life and I finally stood up to watch ur road to gc
r/ThatHappened
8:27 "He was low" - he literally just picked up boost lol.
Yep... was looking for this comment, imma continue watching now lol
Yep he was setting up a hook shot lol
Thought he just left it for squishy
Oli nah he was going for that hook lmao
@@Oli-cc3eh nah he was clearly turning down the wall to hit it just after the bounce
I have 200 hours within the last 3 months on my Smurf p2-d3.
There are A LOT of mechanical players who think they are squishy and play fairy fast and have mechanical aptitude. This is a good video for those type of players. Road to gc between squishy and Rizzo is different and for good reason. Different types of players and ways of playing the game to rank up. If I was low rank and mechanically advanced I would appreciate these videos a lot.
Me trying to improve drastically while squishy: “I don’t know how I can play worse”
“I don’t know how to play worse than I’m currently playing”
Just does a “Casual” double touch. Bruh I’m c1 and crying in the club rn
Squishy: " I Still haven't done anything crazy yet."
Me wondering if double taps and off the wall Ariels from basically your own post isn't "Crazy"
That guy who was trying to do a ceiling shot in this video...I'm just trying my best guys....car soccer is awesome lol. Big fan though squishy, love this series, never thought I would end up being a part of it!!!!
-Lezahnya
You know Kevin became kind of an insult here in Germany? XDD
„You are such a Kevin“
I had a feeling he was going to undermine diamond some of us can do decent stuff - even though I'm champion
That's the problem about diamonds/platinums, isnt it? Diamonds go for stupid, unnecessary fancy stuff, and most of the time, miss the ball. Focusing on the core mechanics takes you to champ 2-3 really quick
@@falaska1099 focusing on fancy mechanics sets you up for being a better player in every way. When you've been doing fancy things (resets, air dribbles, stalls) since plat, you get car control and an understanding of the ball once you're c3 that u cant get any other way really. People that say stuff like this just don't put time into mechanics and when someone else is better they make excuses to make themselves feel better lol. In reality fancy things teaches you ALL other mechanics that are important for ranking up. Game sense comes with time...
Dawnslayerz mechanics don’t win games if you’re out of position and double committing all the time
@@zachcate7102 exactly
Idk when this was recorded but for a while at the beginning of the season there were (including myself) a lot of c3s and c2s were in high diamond lol.
yea as a d3 i kept getting boned by them in 2's and sometimes people would ask
I'm offeneded of course we can! And backboard redirects occasionally
Diamonds are fucking plebs dude, always blaming hahah
Paul Watson that’s right !
This is like, exactly what its like when pro's show up to the local rec center to play. I've played hockey with some NHL players before, and its just like this. You can tell they aren't trying even a bit, but occasionally you see spurts of muscle memory come out and they go WAY faster than anyone else on the rink. Its funny to see it in video game form
so what i learnt from this video is to get into champ from d3 i need to become a pro. might be the best advice ive ever recieved thanks squishy g
Instead of Rizzo got balled by Jon sandman Let’s start a meme Squishy got clipped on by a diamond player
its not rizzo got balled by jonsandman its balled by jonsandman
Dude Rizzo lost to a silver, and I'm not talking about Jon
Okay okay no need to get all truthful I was just saying
I'm a diamond 2 div 3 I feel like all the videos such as every rocket league player ever described all Diamond players perfectly been hitting them since high gold not hard once you get it down. Love the videos though keep up the good work you're the goat. ❤️
bruh gold ppl cant even fly how they be able to hit ceilings?
@@zlbooster863 I focused heavily on mechanics and positioning to rank up.
People say stuff like this ironically because you sound dumb n your lying.
Also “focused on mechanics n positioning” if you have them both down you are gc. 100% of the time. Get your head outa your ass.
@@0uey well the guy over me told you everything
Hamish Stein lmao when I was gold I stopped playing ranked for a while and just played free play because I had no one to play with and when I started playing ranked again i was diamond 2 in 2s
Squishy: I’m trying not to be to good. I’m trying to be diamond.
Not even 2 seconds later:
11:25
????
He really didn't do anything crazy
He didn’t do anything
haha bro that double touch was definitely too much @9:00 I was crying when the dude instantly left after it.
Squishy: I hope these guys hit aerials
*other team hits basic aerial*
Squishy: yes
*hits cross map aerial flip reset double touch triple mctwist*
when u realise he recorded this series in a single sitting
9:05 that double touch was way to much, i’m high c3 low gc and i would be really happy if i hit those shots consistent
feel you brother
don't forget at that rank most of your attempts are blocked by a defender on the back wall though, much harder to even set them up in c3+
Fr im c1 sometimes low c2 and I barely even see any double touches. People go for them including myself but at a very low success rate whether it be from accuracy or just getting defended
itssapir that is true, the set up needs to be faster than squishy did and the opponents need to be without boost to even get a chance to hit the double touch. But even tho if i get a chance to score those i will maybe hit 1 out of 5
Dude i hit those in plat wtf is champ then
bruh diamond then is like plat now
Double taps start to become more consistent in champ2/3. In diamond, people start to learn to attempt them more commonly than plat, but 8.5/10 attempts, it is a miss and free possession.
15:39 is very true. I hit GC this season for the first time. I can do ceiling shots and a little air dribbling and that’s as crazy as my mechanics get. Just having the basics down, and then passing and rotation are the most important things.
