The Story of the Rocket League Shot that Broke the Internet
Рет қаралды 449,943
11 ай бұрынThis is the story of a formerly unknown Rocket League Freestyler whose impossible shot went viral and gained over 8 million views in just 4 days. In this video I will breakdown how Tool Assisted Speedrunning (or Tool Assisted Shots) has helped players like Nape shatter the skill ceiling and take Rocket League places it has never gone before.

I'm generally not a fan of TAS in terms of a clip to show off since I would rather watch someone like Evample show me possibilities in actual gameplay, but those combo player shots are actually pretty cool. The switching back and forth one in particular was interesting to watch since you could see the play style change.
