Dark went from the pogo guy to the dashing guy the way he dashed constantly now is just insane

18:50 with the ball going over the defender as dark goes under was raw

i think you really touched on some of the key improvements he's making there at the end, cant help but remember zen's big mechy introduction to the rl scene at large and one of the key differences between zen then and dark then/now, is he already had such a phenomenal grasp of the team game. johnnyboi said something a few times while zen was on that massive tear through the upper echelons of 1v1, and it was about how mechy players often dont get the respect by folk thinking that they're all just about ball chasing, but the reality is the more mechanics you have in your arsenal, the more ways you can approach a play and he was adamant zen was gonna prove just that in the future (which he did). dark's on the edge of the mechanical game as it is, once he wraps that around the 3's framework he's gonna dominate it's just a matter of time.

8:18 is a muiri reset. Maktuf resets come more from a side on angle rather than a backflip

so glad you came back to dark

Saying dark is the best mechanical player is absolutely disrespectful to the plats in youtube comments that can apparently do every mechanic in the game

Thanks for the shoutout, I really appreciate it! :)

He did play the first two open quals with a team. They got 15-16th in the first and 25th-32nd in the second one.

Imagine if dark singns for vitality and him and Zen gets those resets to each other mid air and the amount of championships VIT would have.

18:02 bro actually went for a basketball dribble in car soccer game 💀

i think when people want rate someone on how mechanical he is, they should also rate not only how many mechanics u can do, but also with wich consistency u success ur mechanic + if u are good enough on fondamental mechanics (by fundamental, look how strong are the shot of exotiik, always powerful and in a top corner 99% of the time)

Imagine being that good... Instead of constantly trying to keep up, being the guy actually pushing the boundries of RL unknown territory. The beauty of this game is people exploit it and it becomes a part of it.

Everyone hates on Dark, but they don't see the vision

At 4:32 you were like hold on what’s going on there 😂😂😂

I love how every time he talks he gets interrupted by Dark hitting an absolutely insane clip

I think Dark has been grinding 2v2 for the sake of his next run in RLCS. Maybe sticking with the team on Zone, maybe not. Also, you should do a review of Diaz the Brazilian player, he also seems like a mechanical Young-Gun that more people should be talking about. Hey, maybe you get him in your games from time to time

1:45 blud said "NOW KSI"

The only possible criticism I can have for the guy is his habit of ball chasing/stealing, pretty solid chance that he’s going to do good things with it but that’s not how a team should play. Because of this Zen is still the best in my book but I love seeing dark play he’s incredible.

Example of dark interrupting tena's talking 7:58

Man, every new Dark video is like a Christmas present. excited to see.

Dark is a beast and I think some of those best clip videos are not even giving him all the credit he deserves. He has a lot of disgusting goals, so I was not sure why those montages, show him doing basic high level RL plays, like normal single flip resets and conventional air dribble bumps. He has a level beyond, what normal high level players would put in a montage, that shows his mastery of freestyle in a competitive setting. Still waiting for the "Real" Dark Montage.

you know their getting to the pro level when they can pull off double resets

I played a 1s match with dark in a tournament about a year ago. He was on my friends stream and we had a tourney and he is absolutely insane.

18:17 , that one was amazing.

14:27 the plats will always save it….

8:16 not a maktuf reset my guy. I think it's a murie reset, and I know that Joyo, Zen, and Rhezzy have hit those as well.

I love his pogo shots

My nephew and I love your educational content about rocket league.

16:55 this guy became Mr krupp from captain underpants 💀

His mechanics are much better now his movement is better than ever and he's more consistent

WE NEED TO SEE A DARK VS ZEN 1V1

Bro I need that preset when dark is in the fennec! OMG its so clean

Dark is like a freestyler and a Pro had a baby

8:15 MURRIE RESET NO ONE CALLS IT THE RIGHT NAME

I dont think this is how dark plays nowadays. Any new video he is featured in has like 800 dashes regardless of where the dash is done. Honestly I wouldnt be surprised if he did a ceiling wavedash which I definitely think has possible use in his reckless playstyle.

The gameplay in the video is what every plat says they are.

Kind of want to see tenacity go for a pogo or one of those ariel plays where the ball hits off the ceiling in a video. Would be fun to see a high level player try these things

Once dark gets as good as other pros at rotations and game sense, he'll be amazing. I'd love to see him in rlcs then. (But I don't think he's there yet)

i used to do maktuf resets for double resets but not perfectly ofc and more at a sideways angle rather than striaght upside down level with ground like dark did in this vid. lasted a few weeks then forgot about it cuz trained smarts and just got sidetracked, and now cant barely get it to save my bloodline 💀

You should react dark vs Zen next or Zen on the same team as dark

دارك فخر العرب

Tena at least give Dark a shout out for his YT and twitch. Gave everyone else a shout out except the man himself.

Dark is soo good he can’t even hit clips because there just normal shots

Hey Tena, I got a question for you! :D If you hit a flip reset, you´ll have infinte time to execute that flip, right? Why would someone go for a double or triple flip reset then, assuming they haven´t used their flip yet? Love your content bud! Cheers man :)

8:20, tena that is not a maktuf reset, that is a murrie reset or something. I maktuf is kinda simulare but with a stall

I don't even clip like dark in my dreams

so i met dark lol he joined my vc randomly in the rl discord, hes a pretty cool guy, signed my steam prolly lol. we became pretty good friends over a weeks span but slowly stopped playing lol, still chill tho.

Crazy improvment.

Dark is a ball hog only when playing with ppl worse than him. Watch his game with Zen, its absolute art

at 8:20 that's not a maktuf

I actually disagree with u here @TenacityTv on 3:35 - 4:00. I agree with u on the fact that, because Dark has a reset they can't just go for it, However. They were both net, so one of them should have went for it (a.s.a.p.) to force the play. They should both know that the one going for it probably isn't going to get it. And so the guy waiting net should have the save. I think what went wrong here one the side of Zen is that: either they didn't know that they were both sitting net or, they saw Dark getting the reset got scarred and hesitated for a sec and then decided not to go. In both cases the problem could have been resolved with communication. Coms coms coms people!

The last clip was insane, he faked a fake

lowkey i fw this video

do you know huxnter?????

Great vid Maybe do this with zen, like compare clips from 2-3 yrs ago to clips he hit now

i love you tena

can you turn down the music a little its kinda loud

I would love to see Dark and 2 other players who have the same "high speed playing" style on 1 team, it would literally destroy the traditional rotation methods, as they can literally be anywhere at any time

2:12 did dark just save his teammate's shot

I peaked champ but rn im D1 beause i stopped playing for a year. I play with Grand Champs and champs all the time in Private matches (Codes can be numbers like 12345 and the password the same). But what keeps me at my rank is my positioning.

I’m the ones tm8. I play pretty frequently and anyone I play with is just casual with it. It’s hard for me to turn off my ones mode. My close friends have learned to tell me to slow down!

Each like this comment gets is one pushup 😅

tbh i want to 1v1 dark just to see how it goes, will i score? no, 0 chance. will i be confused? yes, the whole game

i think zen should 1v1 dark

dark should fr take a iq test holyyyyy

I’m always disappointed Kronovi’s first ever ground to air dribble gets skipped in videos like this. The four fundamental mechanics upon which all other mechanics emerge from are; Kro’s ground to air dribble defined aerial game play, The Kux twist defined aerial control. Devo’s double tap redefined defense, and Squishy’s ceiling shot defined fakes. All other mechanics derive from these four. other fundamental mechanics are the halfflip, and wave dashes, but not sure who popularized those

somey underrated asl

08:23 : that is a muirie reset, not a Maktuf

I think hes slower now because hes trying for rlcs so he knows he gotta be more patient and less sparatic, but then again imagine a full team of sparatic Darks just dawging on zen, rodohsin, vatira, rw9, etc

10:34 Nah, this is just nasty 🫣

Dark plays exactly like me but a bit more consistent and mechanical

starting from 10:40 was funny

I knew Dark was good but he is beyond good

Imagine 3 darks on an ssl team

I’m bronze 2 and I can hit quad resets idk what all the rage is about

10:45 i made the exact same face as tenacity holy shit💀

Everyone stop sleeping on the video by Feer. Big content creator. He reviewed lots of real ranked matches where dark is playing with and against people like zen, monkey moon and the rest I can’t remember.. rw9 I think. They’re are clear representations of his improvement and he’s clearly the best in all these games.. not wanting to spoil the outcomes but the zen vs dark twos games was nuts

They should probabbly 1v1

Yess more of these

bro dark clips arent even clips theyre something beyond

Homie glazing

ur underrated btw do u wanna 1v1 the latest version of nexto?(Without using air dribbles and flip resets)

7:02 in my head i was like "I can hit those shots every single time", 5 seconds later I regretted that thought

I don’t think he’s as good but still incredible

I remember back when I was gc in 1s around season 2-3 he was a 1s demon when u saw the name dark it’s just a gg ff

Tenacity Always Makes My Day Just Like My Dog😂😢

Does anyone know the whole preset to the purple fennec in the second half of the video

14:30 how did he cancel his flip so fast that he was able to regain control like that?

I seen zen doing maktuf reset

The thumbnail...

8:27 not a maktuf, its a murie reset

do u guys know dark's recent control sensitivities and camera settings? please someone reply to me

Are we just gonna ignore 18:18 ?

Can anyone tell me the fennec preset he was using? (Including the colours)

dark is not human.... I said it

A normal pogo and that pogo shot are shots he does often

Just wait until he matches up with rw9 💀

As far as him playing slower, i personally think its because he is using fennec. Octane feels so much faster than fennec

2:10 Hi mettalicgamecase

hahahaha bro 10:40 is so funny
