This is "exactly" what I teach to my guitar students, avoid unnecessary movements! Thank you, great video!

Been stuck in gc1 for a year now maybe this will finally help, you are talking for a subject no one really talks about. Quite a useful video.

GC2 here - Work on your double taps. They will teach you everything you need to know about how your car moves + wall reads + boost management. Work on catching the ball from the sky, dribbling the ball, then flicking it. That'll get you most of the control you need. Most other mechanics after you learn how your car moves become SUPER easy to learn just from prior knowledge of your cars movement. Great video 10/10

I've been much more aware of my mindset recently in-game (and irl). When I'm confident and focusing on efficient movement, boost management, and patience I win way more. Lots of good pointers here to implement

In the first few minutes, you've said everything my friend who used to be a pro for the first couple of seasons of the game would say to me. Cool how the fundamentals carry through, even as the game progresses and evolves.

I hover around C2-C3 and the way you were showing how not to do the reset and double taps at the end is exactly how I've been going about them so I appreciate you explaining how I need to just simplify things

Fantastic video. Love the use of input efficiency as a way to describe minimizing extra unnecessary movements that hinder all of your play at higher levels. One thing I will add is that all of this can be implemented slightly easier in your training regimen with slow mo. My brain is very visual, and the game speed at 100% sometimes prevents me from recognizing the input that sent my car in an undesirable direction versus my cars initial orientation. Slowed down to 50%(I gradually increased, but still warm up to this day on 75%-80% if I'm feeling sluggish in my input efficiency) at first allowed me to understand just what orientation my car looked versus what input actually was needed.

amazing video! the input efficiency tip made me realise how overly complicated i’m making my aerial plays. hopefully this will help me bridge the gap to gc3 :)

I was a bit skeptical at first but, this just made so much sense, and I already feel like my mech is a lot better. Great Video!

This is a topic that not NEARLY enough people have covered. I hope this gets more attention than anything you've ever posted. I wish this video had existed a couple years back. Good job

I needed this, been playing for 8 years and was so stuck and THIS THIS IS WHY, you opened a passageway in my mind to allow me to even think about input efficiency correctly. Perfect execution

Just got back into RL and man i have to say this is a great video full of helpful tips! Also your voice is chill, it really makes the commentary great! Keep it up!😁

i'm C2 that started the game last year and I have never thought of trying to training reset because it's not meta at my rank (I mean, everyone who tries reset is going to miss it at some point, or will be pretty easy to read). But you're so consistent with it and it looks so EZ when you do it that I want to understand the magic behind it.

Amazing. This video was recommended to me right when I needed it for my game play. Thank you!

That’s actually the stage of air rolling is what I learnt with time lol 1st - realise u need to learn air roll 2nd - you grind and learn air roll 3rd - you realise u use too much air roll so u unlearn/reduce air roll 😂

i also realised input effeciency is not just airdribbles and flip resets

i always watch the pros be efficient just for me to constantly air roll when i play.. hopefully this sticks in my head now. great vid!

I'm so glad you showed a zen clip, it seems like efficiency is really what put him so far above when he hit the scene.

Highly underrated advice here. I always looked at it like I was “doing too much” and that I needed to “do less” and in reality it just comes down to input efficiency. Thanks for this

this helped me so much, bec my resets were so ass bec I spun too much but now its good bec I was started spinning less

Awesome video! Definitely subscribing 💪🏼

Thanks man for the help You are putting in the work for the good vids

Great vid, love doomsy dishing and good advice

I don’t know if you play chess but your content reminds me of Daniel Naroditsky. He’s a high level chess player who breaks down his thought process so that players of all levels can consume and learn. No clickbait, no BS, just super informative content. I’ve grown so tired of clickbait RL videos. As someone who’s putting in hours and trying to push GC, I’m so thankful I found your channel. Happy I found your channel.

W video Booma won 4 ranked games in a row after watching this went from d3 to a solid champ 1 div 3

this dude sounds like hed be your absolute and most fun favourite teacher

awesome video man

underatted creator

thank you bro for this vid

Honestly when i think of efficiency of inputs i just think "play like monkey moon" lmao , like he keeps it simple and like you said doesnt do anything he doesnt need to Cool and helpful vid dude you got a new sub!

The advice in this video highlights the fact that you can only improve so far just by cruising through ranked. International practice is a must for improving.

great video, i thought one thing one was funny, also made me realize this was advice for higher level players HE USED A QUADRUPLE FLIP RESET AS AN EXAMPLE OF BAD INPUT EFFICIENCY 🤣

great video. It would be cool to see a video on how to coach yourself, i.e. how to critisize your own replays and in game decision analysis when you mess p or do something good.

such a great video im gc2 and even i learned something new thanks man

yooooooo wow emazing content , im from russia and i didint see same advises on ru YT , thanks you ,maide now i can get daimond rank.)

liked the video i agree and also see insights thank you

Nice video man, just hard to be input efficient when my car control isn't even there, but i guess in that case the play like a brick tip is great for me

BANGERR!!!

Subbed bro let’s go

Yea it helped good video

Yoooo the frantic cartoon cameo

playing like a brick in 1v1 is something I realized myself was super helpful because it allowed me to actually think about what I wanna do against my opponent and made me more consistent with my touches (atleast in 1s)

genuinely so true I peaked c3 in 1s a while ago and thought huh, maybe if i learn air roll Id hit gc, im d3 now and youd laugh at the amount of spins i do for a simple aerial lmao. this marks change xD

amazing video what was the decal u were using at the start of the vid?

I recently made the change from Xbox to PS5 and I feel like that also helps as well.

Just improving recovery can put you ranks ahead , it happened with me i went from gold to diamond just improving my recovery skills

Hey what decal are you using? Great vid bytw

hey fantastic video but i have to ask what are the wheel and decal?

So just a little story that goes hand in hand with what this guy is trying to teach you. I was in spooklukes GCR about 2 years ago now, they got me focused ENTIRELY on no spinning and all slow, efficient movement and recoveries and correct decision making. Which helped my 1s game drastically, went from D1 to D3 in about a week or so. BUT it completely tanked my 2s and 3s rank. I was upset but I kept pushing and practiced what they taught me for a WHILE. After about a couple months I was only peaking C2 in 2s, C1 in 3s and 1s. This had me distraught. I felt slow and non mechanical, so I decided to work on my mechs, got good at basic flip resets and ceiling shots and double taps but I was still so STUCK in that slow mindset. This persisted til 2023. So I took a break, a LONG break, about 7-8 months or so, even sold my pc. Eventually I couldn’t hold it no more and bought a new pc and started playing again. Over those months I discovered players like dark(?) and zen which got me really inspired to try and be more mechanical. So I jumped back in and said f it and started training my mechs even harder. About a month later, I got gc in 2s, c3 in 3s and I stopped playing so much 1s. What changed ? I’d finally broken that mindset of being slow and methodical. That playstyle just DOES NOT WORK these days, players are better and more mechanical than ever. I became faster, ballchasier, and more mechanical while erasing the idea that everything needed to be well thought out. I retained the carefulness and correct decision making from being slow, while taking my mechanics and speed to the next level, which in turn, took me to the next level in arguably the hardest season to get gc in we’ve ever seen (last season) Long story short, back in the day, it was a lot easier to get higher level just waiting for mistakes, but players are better now, you NEED mechanics, they don’t have to be the flashiest in the world, but they are needed and necessary to rank up. Do not let anyone tell you different, they are liars, I experienced it and I figured it out and you can too! Kudos to this guy for giving yall the right info! Love the vid!

with my 2400+ hours on this game, i pay attention to when the ball slows down and my momentum. For me to get the touches i want, i just slow down a little bit more than a little, and boost through the ball in the direction of space(where no one but me or my team can get the ball).

Make a video on important recovery mechanics for SSL.. or your story of how you reached SSL

How do you do those double/triple resets so easily? Quick explanation would be cool. But either ways interesting Video.

I hit GC in 2s, floor destroyer, and blizzard wizard and never did a single flip reset you just need good game sense and rotation

Franticcartoon was in that clip at 12:55 thats sick bro

People 7k views but yall can't sub come on he's putting a lot of time and work into these sub to the guy(just so you know he didn't pay me to say this I'm just surprised that he has way more views that subs).

from France, bad english. Btwww niiiice vidéo!

I’m pretty sure I noticed you tapping powerslide whenever you’re getting a reset, do you think it’s necessary to do it as you climb to a higher level of gameplay?

Hey man, i play RL on console. What stuff is there that i need to learn another way since you can’t have mods and change the game the way you want? I'm having trouble at correcting my car after getting the flip reset, Zen literally gets his car in an upwards position almost instantly while I can’t even properly use the reset after doing it

20:05 That's so fckn true, especially for me 😭 I'm too anxious letting the ball do the work for me

Can you show your settings? Like all the sensitivities, dead zones, etc.

lol i love franticcartoon hes funny asf

Is square your powerslide? I notice you press square when touching ball in air just before getting flip reset, is there a reason behind that?

Mentality wise, what is a good way to enforce playing with intent during a game? While I have learned about it through a coaching session a while back, I haven’t fully learned how to implement it into my gameplay (and commentary while recording).

„stop unnessesary spinning“ me: I dont spin in the air

Can you make a settings video Ty!

Quick question, how crucial are optimal controller settings (dodge/controller dead zone + air/ground sensitivity) to input efficiency?

thanks

As a tip to retain view time you should probably leave out the ums and pauses / jump cut to when ur talking, it lowers the impact of your message and disengages viewers

the only thing keeping me away from ssl. ive felt this problem will never go away. i cant seem to fast aerial without being inaccurate, and i get a bad flip when im trying to recover or go for a shot too often.

Liked

i feel like i cant get a sweet spot with my camera settings, any tips? or is this a normal thing.

What type of aerial should I be doing I don’t know if I should use free roam,left or right aerial im only plat 3 rn.What should I do?

what are your cam settings they look very good

i have incredible mechanics but i still lose cause i havent focused on "playing the game good" but rather learning hard mechanics for the fun of it

I firmly believe that time will fix a lot of these errors. A lot of players such as myself didnt have these videos to help players. But we are all human and there is a special power that we have and repetition and time will fix and make everything naturally more efficient to achieve what we all want to do. Just keep playing! Good video though

no franticcartoon comment? found that channel before this one, lol trust the algorithm

360 subs and bro puts real effort into this 💀💀

Me hard stuck c2 grappling with the fact that you shouldn’t air roll through the dribble

Can someone explain to me how at 6:04 is he able to press all 4 buttons (circle, square etc...) at the same time ?

What was the decal at the start of vid

Personally I feel much more comfortable using airroll during resets and airdribble, I feel more controlled

In diamond 3 you see people who are fast but can’t accomplish anything with that speed. Can’t walk without crawling first I guess lol

What decal is that at the start?

Weird question, Can you be a coach? I'm diamond and i wanna be able to reach gc or champ, also learn good freestyling

What's your rank diamond - champ?

Dorito

bro how do you get that banner? black and blue

Does anyone else feel like the areal car control feels way spedup

12:50 peeps just cant cook up the doomsee dish

Any tips to get ou to c3

decal?

What decal is that

crackhead movement guide 🗿

God bless you bro in Jesus name

mind me asking how many hours you've got mate?

camera settings?

bro sounds like steve kerr

what’s that preset?

I feel like my air roll is a lot slower than other people
