Dark doesn't represent the "ideal" way to play Rocket League. But what he does represent is just how much farther we can push the skill ceiling in this game. Dark proves that it's not just possible, but viable. Now it's just a case of everyone else catching up so the meta can evolve once again.

darn rlly if you think about it, is kinda the opposite of zen. if you look at darks replays, you will see that his mechs are insane, he is extreamily agressive, and he gos for bumps a lot in 3v3 while zen on the other hand plays defencive and back a lot and waits for his chance to strike. This new era of mechanics is actually scary based on how insane people are getting. the combos of dashes is brobly the scariest part because you could become extreamely fast by just learning these dashes, mastering them, and comboing them in any way. i am though exited to see this new era of insane mechanics.

This play style is only really viable in 1s and 2s. In 3s, someone will be instantly challenging you when you go up to do your fancy mechanics. But yeah, Dark is phenomenal and I hope he proves me wrong. I'd love to see him pull of crazy plays in team play.

Pogos are beautiful to see and all but I think the way he dashes all around can really push the skill ceiling over the edge!

real life TAS machine with those dashes

Pogo's was one of the funnest mechanics to learn. I started doing them WAY back when Pulse Muiricles was perfecting them, and using the Ripper. At the time I learned them just for fun, but it's so cool now after all these years to see it used in more competitive scenarios.

would have loved to see him go pro, sadly he said hes not interested in that and they're doing the quals for fun

He is insane to watch, has been my personal favorite for a while now. Also; great video, you deserve way more subs.

From the production to the subject matter, this video is next level. Editing is top tier. Rocket league KZfaq needs more of these documentary style videos. Instant subscribe 10/10 video and I can’t believe you have only 500 subs. I must have found you early and can’t wait to watch you grow. Keep up the documentaries im about to go check out the rest of your channel.

Great video. I love watching Dark play

underrated video, u deserve more subs this simple style of editing is nice

great video bro keep it up

High quality vid for such little subs you deserve the sub my boy❤

glad someone make a video on him. One of my favorite players

Good business The dashes and the keen mind of when to use dashes is always potentially beneficial-speed is huge

while dark makes mistakes because he’s excessively flashy and mechanical, overdoing it is what has allowed him to stretch the limits of his mechanics. it’s tempting to tell him to chill out a bit when he makes a mistake as a result of being too flashy but that same behavior is what has allowed him to discover new opportunities to use each mechanic. really excited to see where this kid is a year or 2 down the line when he’s steamrolling pros with psychos and pogos every game.

no way u have only 650 subs...keep up the great content!

The pogo is actually genius... allows you to save boost by avoiding air dribbling.... we just never realized it because no one could consistently hit it fast enough.

Knew it was dark from the title before I even clicked the video. Love watching Dark, massive pioneer

youre channel is bouta blow up dude.

🎉

These videos are always great. Looks like a pro editor made them. Not too much flashy things but, not too little to where you want to stop watching.

Your videos are great!

subbed nice vid

subbed great vid

literally Mbappe of Rocket League

I genuinely enjoyed the storytelling of this video. Thank you. Lol

Great video new sub

I wanna see dark vs zen

Dark's playstyle is not a series of mechanics you learn, either you have that kinda skill or you don't. Playing like a pro is something you can practice, but playing like Dark requires more confidence and instinct than most people have.

underated

If dark worked on his 3s he could be very scary in rlcs

I’ve played with dark a few times, great 2s teammate, it’s odd because when he plays with high level players he’s not as unstoppable as you make him seem

i feel like dark is more interested in pushing the limits of whats possible in competitive play than actually winning

I hope you keep making RL YT vids ❤

Wow you got a new subscriber

Not even 400 subs, you are gonna blow up homie, goodluck!!

Nah dashes, wall dash and all those stuff are crazy.

Great video! Dark is my favorite player to watch

despite being 15? bro thats your best age to gain a lot of mechanics in video games where the brain is very flexible to learn and adapt. it’ll be far more impressive if it was a 30+ year old player pulling these off. great vid and insane playing skills by dark though!

I’m sure in 20 years this will be very unimpressive. But he will be the first. I really think he will inspire the next generation of rocket league plauers

It’s different to play 3v3 for him, he usually sticks with 1v1

Your storytelling is great

He’s definitely not the next Zen but he’s laying the foundation for the next player that will be better than Zen

dark is crazy

ok now make a follow up video talking about his recent games with AND against Zen. and tell me, again, that he makes mistakes. bro made the world's #1 GOAT ff.

Tbh i doubt anything like a pogo could be useful in the rlcs because when you have 2 other teammates to cover you its a surprisingly easy challenge

Dark is literally a TAS at this point

Bro i dont know what to do anymore, I'm genuinely scared of what the skill celling will be in 2024.

kawfee is like the old musty when he started his channel

cool video, audio is kinda all over the place tho (scrub kill low volume, some moments too loud)

What team do you think he will go to

best than zen

I been trying to do flip reset for hours, days, weeks, months and just can't get it. ☠️

W Video man

Bro got that fortnite comms accent

What controller does Dark use??

Put dark and zen in the same team

Ngl i thought you were a rip off of wayton. But your videos are actually pretty entertaining to watch. Can't wait for your next video!

i dont how your making this high quatity videos with only 403 subs make that 404

Dark legit plays pros like a smurf in a plat lobby.

How in the hell is his server so fucking consistent??? I can't get ANY of that shit to work consistently without modded controllers... anything not kbm is hacks.

yo bro i wanna help you out i can edit and i can make thumbnails

Dark is the most fun player!!!

Wow! He can do this in a 1V1........ cool do it in standard 3s against some of the best teams in the world..... then ill be impressed.... Dont get me wrong im not saying the kid isnt good.... he is.... but those freestyle mechanics dont mean shit in what is supposed to be a team based game.....

this will never make its way into pro play. only 1s

Yea dark is pretty skilled, but he loses a lot against players in this video too, so what's the value?

the way he plays will never translate into 3s!!! Hes a 1s show match player an always will be!! Until he has to go college/uni an will fizz out the scene. Cos theres not really enough money in 1s alone.

i thought plats could do all this?

Good editing but you talk a little bit too slow

Dark is faster but he has bad game sense so zen is more beder at game sense and he its clip on pros in rlcs

Adhd ahh player

ZEN BETTER I SAID IT!!!!!

too much pause in reading script.

why you talk like theres a comma after every word

All this effort and skill just for epic games to ruin it all xddd

dark is a bum.

man this is probably just me but u gotta get rid of that asmr mic. I cant stand hearing saliva sounds when you open your mouth

Dark got thrashed by flakes . He plays unpredictable, and flakes always says "Let them do the shits not threatening, not threatening." 😂😂 dont get me wrong, dark is good, but be realistic 😂 Oh, and the pogo would eventually get read like a book. The thing about high-level players, especially the pros, is eventually they read you.
