Nexto is utterly brutal. If he gets that ball on top of his car, it's already too late.

Okayyyy Sledge. I see where we stand. Can't believe you would expose my real ranks like that....

Love how pathogenical had to get a gc to carry him in a 2v2 against bots for champs he called out lmao

As a part of the Rlgym/Rlbot community, seeing this kind of content flourish makes me happy. Great video Sledge.

It would be really interesting to add these bad boys in the game and I think it would benefit a lot of players to hone their skills with a much more predictable behavior (both when playing against and with a bot locally). It has really helped me back when RL basic bots were still a threat, so maybe some higher skilled bots would help elevate your skill level when you feel like you've reached your peak.

"I'm better than those champs!" *Also brings in higher ranked player to still get blown out*

the guy that tried 1v2ing nexto has no idea that even professional players had a tough time beating the 1v2. I heard mawkzy had to do 15 or so games to beat the 1v2

I feel like the reason people think they can beat the bots is because they aerial like a diamond or Champ 1, but have the ground game of a high SSL. They see that the bot can't aerial and assume that level of skill applies to the whole game whereas the ground game is actually better than some pros.

I'm a GC player. Spent like an hour vsing Nexto and can say that if you play normally you will get smoked. The only way I was able to consistently beat the bot was to have a lot of boost in defence and then pre jump while shadowing but hover in the air and not dive in. I think this confuses the program since any time I jumped and was close I would get flicked and any time I would jump and was far the bot would drop it and go underneath. These bots are insanely impressive

5:29 9:04 damn sledge's being a lot more savage than usual in this video

I have been 1v2ing Necto and now that Nexto(v1710, there are even better version not publicly available atm) has come out 1v1ing it these past weeks and both are insane. For reference I'm a washed gc, who is now about c3. 1v2ing Necto is especially difficult because of the unfair kick offs and such, because I do feel like I'm a lot better, but it was extremely difficult to actually beat it 1v2. Nexto is a different beast. When it comes to its ground game it might just be the best player in the world, at least in 1s (of course I have never played someone like Mawkzy but still). Maybe it's different in 2s where you need more speed and can't just beat 1 person, but it's timing is always perfect. The power is always perfect. Not just full power everytime, it can come real close and do a controlled flick over you. It's also extremely difficult to fake challenge contrary to Necto who is fairly fake challengeable. So if you give nexto any space to start its dribble you're basically done. In defense its reactions are insane and its ability to make goalline saves without panicking is also amazing. The bot also is never 'awkward' since it doesn't really care about camera orientation or whatever. And while it's not that good at dodging bumps, it recovers from them so fast. Humans need a second to reorient themselves, but Nexto is right into the play, usually bumping it actually helps it gain speed. It does have a few weaknesses. It's mostly not that good at defending aerial solo plays. That's pretty much the only way to score against it. And luckily it does give space to set the shot up often when it goes back for boost. And while I said it recovers perfectly from bumps, demoes are very effective against it. But the biggest weakness by far are the kickoffs. Not that its actual kickoffs are bad, they are pretty good in fact. The big problem is that you can just not go for kickoff and will often have an immediate counter goal. But don't be fooled, this bot is insane. I haven't been able to beat it yet. And as a computer science student myself I applaud the developers of the bot. Insane achievement.

You should train a bot on Evample’s gameplay so we can see bots doing 360 drift dribbles stuntin on people 😂

Took 3 1v1s before I finally beat nexto. Its fricken scary when he's carrying the ball.

Toxic takedown: bots edition

Those "champs" that said "The champs from the video aren't champs" aren't champs 😂 Keep up the good work🙏

Necto and Nexto are absolutely cracked. Its a really good bot to train your 1s gameplay and get better at defense. It really helped me out even though I can’t win against it yet.

0:56 that loss streak though💀

the most annoying thing about the necto bot is that it never ever lays off on the pressure - seems like it would get very frustrating

I think the part of the necto/nexto bots that people dont expect is they seem to adapt to and counter their opponents play styles so even if youre doing good at the start of the game you can go down 4 goals in the last couple minutes

Now I don't feel so bad being called a bot lol Great video!

lmao this video is soo good. I cant believe that bots are really doing that :o amazing

I kinda wanna trash talk just to be in a video xD Nice vid. Always fun, my dude.

I'm low GC2 and it took me 3 tries to beat Nexto in a 2v2 with my GC1 mate. Got absolutely annihilated in the first game 12-4 and only ended up managing to win 3-1 in the third game. One hell of a capable bot.

That transition to the ad was 🔥

As much you complain or yell at the people around you or see footage of your peers and think you're better than them - you're the rank you are for a reason. It's easy to focus on your teammates and blame them. It's much harder to be critical of yourself and notice your own faults. Focus on what you can do to improve, and you'll rank up. It's what everyone did and does to rank up.

I need to learn how to set this up on my PC so I can play them too. This looks awesome

This is amazing!

Since the bots are so ground oriented is would be interesting to see if a more grounded player or ariel player does better against them. very grounded here if interested.

Played Rocket League once years ago, but this was a very interesting video even for an outsider! :)

I like the “Grand Chumps” name at the end :)

This is the first video to genuinely make me sad because it ended

The bots have taken over, I hate them all.... 😂

was a blast playing against the next i was insanely difficult and to anyone that has doubts about the bots abilities i can tell you now they are insane and will beat you!😊

Hey sledge, big fan. Thanks for making great content, as always!

To be fair in a lot of the videos the rank is misrepresented because the person must be stressed, so if you put in a person, they may normally play better but when trying to defend their comment they are prolly also stressed

love when you setup an event its just gold

It would be nice to see these games in their entirety.

i’m gc 2 and this bot is really tough to beat. i learned you can cheese it on kickoff and score about everytime. other than that if you don’t take the ball in the air it’s tough to score

Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing toxic commenters get their ass whooped lmao and also seeing Woody's real rank

I wanna see the Rocket Pass Cars be converted into Bots that can score on ssls lol. Very interesting and entertaining

Sledge went from demoing cars to demoing dignities

"With smurfs, you have to be GC to survive" Yes, but the people who are GC not only survived but they thrived to the point of ranking out of there lmao.

I'm gonna have to get some of these bots. These look amazingly fun haha!

This is craaaaazyy I dont think we r that much far from seeing pro level bots

i now want a high-rank vs literally ever bot or a marsh pit of every bot vs every rank like imagine trying to fight that!

Is there any full replays to view of these necto bots? As a C1 it would be good to see how they’re better than me just by having good decisions making and no Ariel game

ahahha I'm glad i reverse trash talked one of the guys on one of your videos... Saying that he looked way better than his reported rank. As Nexto would rekt my shit if i had gone the opposite way lol

is there a way to play by myself using these bots? man I would love to play some private casuals agaisnt them as training since even some of the "lowes" ranked bots do some stuff that I still have to learn. thank you for the good content and congratulations on making them!

I loved this

I ain't even gonna lie but this looks fun as hell

These bots are tough to beat - though I did see Extra from BDS 1 vs 3 the Nexto bots by mostly keeping the ball in the air.

Another amazing idea

I need a buddy like "Nexto (2)" already in the air ready for the rebound when I obviously whiff by a tiny amount!

Plot twist : the bots actually have plot armour.

Hey Sledge. I am ranked Platinum 3 in Rocket League. I really wish I could 1v1 this bot. But I don't have Rocket League on PC. Your content is amazing. Keep it up. Hope you hit 1M subscribers. 👍

I would not mind having a crack at those bots.

NGL - as a super silly silver, mixing up a team of bots with and against Necto, and just set to unlimited time is helping me better fluidly read rotation and timing aerials with more realistic variables, ie teammate or opponent going up for an aerial. Oh and hearing much higher ranks rate the flicks of these bots is reassuring

I wanna play these bots 😂 they prolly gonna beat me, but the bots lack the human element of will-power and believing in myself 😂

I'm champ 2 and I can't beat nexto so I knew the result of game 4 instantly. people need to leave their egos at the door when judging something they've not actually experienced themselves

I just want to know what decal necto is using

*gets normal diagonal front flip flicked in midfield on a poor challenge* "that's the best flick i've ever seen!"

I am 100 percent downloading that in game app it look life changing, also I’m trying to play these bots when I get home tody lol

When it actually comes to the gameplay people just don't understand that the pressure and being nervous or maybe even just the fact they're not better than the people who play in the videos is really annoying. Just accept it and watch the video. Rocket sledge puts a lot of work into the videos.

hahaha, soo beautifull seeing trashtalkers geting smashed by bots.

Now we need a video comparing EU and NA high-ranked lobbies. I've had enough of the trash-talking, 'Murica all the way.

lmao "we'll win and it won't even be close" *proceeds to get dumpstered on by bots* extremely embarassing

I'm not sure how you would go about setting this up, but it would be really interesting to see some kind of experiment to determine if training exclusively against bots like necto and nexto is a viable way to improve at the game. I think most people agree that we improve fastest when we play with and against people better than ourselves, so I am wondering if the same thing can apply by playing with bots.

I’ve installed these bots and played vs them no problem offline, but how would I use them to play against me and a friend or even just 1vs1 vs a friend online?

What is with everyone's end game just falling apart in this video does Nexto just magically upgrade near the end?

This gives bot a new meaning

He actually said gg to a bot 💀

The day is coming when someone says ‘you’re a total bot’ and it’s actually a compliment.

u should do youtubers vs bots as a whole video

can you break the bot by focusing on exploding them as a way of getting around how good the bot is?

I wonder what it would look like to have nexto go against SSLs

Sledge, my friend and I's playstyle and synergy would absolutely riddle the poor bots, no matter how far along in development it is.

When are people going to learn that this game ‘looks’ easy, it’s not…

That logo path have as his pfp I had that one as my pfp in 2016💀

I would absolutely destroy someone that's never played Rocket League before

11:26, they bumped, woow toxic - the one with the most demos in the game (2022)

What's the name of the decal the ai necto was wearing 🤔??

I would definitely be down to 2v2 Nexto. As a fellow GC, I think it's time to end its streak

I'd argue that for some people it would be better to do quite the opposite of using the tracker which you're talking about. Simply cause some people perform way better by not knowing their opponents and team mates rank and mmr. So I guess people should do some tries and see if they're better out with the tracker or if they're better with a bakkesmod that hides all the ranks even in endgame. You can never know until you try for yourself.

Hey sledge! I’m unranked and I BET that I could lose to those GC’s as the end 😎

I wanna see one of these bots do one of Letha dribble or rings maps

lmfao so many sweeps

it's really simple to be honest , rank is not only represented by mechanics. there is a lot more to that. (pretty sure you have a video about it) rotation , perception , playing around teammates , recoveries , decision making , adaptability. I m a D1 player (at 2s) and i feel like a gold 3 could have my mechanics. I could get peaked on by a mechanical plat 1. (I hate 1s so much btw). so I never judge players in your videos sledge because from my perspective the ranks are solidly represented. However (!) , it's a little annoying when players compete against each other and one is X rank 1 while the other is X rank 3 , the difference is ridiculous most of the time , I would recommend trying to find people at X rank 2 if possible every time.

I played a ton against necto and now a fair bit against nexto 1v1, I feel my dribbling, shadow defense, fakes, and 50s have all been improved by a substantial margin. I haven't been flicked in my actual c3 rank in a while, I'm disgustingly good at shadow defense. That being said I still only maintain a 1/4 goal ratio, some games end 10-40 in favor of nexto. that being said I'm somewhat hesitant in my games because playing nexto requires being very defensive punctuated with all out pushes which I'm not very good at. Still an incredible training excercise, it does not allow mistakes.

Con mí hermano y un amigo jugamos 3v3 y fue muy caótico, apenas pudimos hacer algunos goles, lo difícil es cuando hacen disparos que rebotan y ellos pueden leerlo incluso antes de que la pelota rebote, son muy rápidos. En realidad, deberían modificar esa predicción a futuro tan exagerada y serían unos bots excelentes para entrenamiento. Fue divertida la experiencia, pero volver a jugar con personas luego de esos partidos se sentía muy extraño.

Video idea: have nexto or a different machine learning bot run through dacia obstacle course.

As a C2 in 1v1 I have been grinding nothing but 1v1 against Necto and Nexto for the last week. My win rate is... Not good. These damn bots are incredible.

Ima listen to this cos I'm on my bike and put my phone in my pocket with my right air pod in

I wanna see an SSL try it!

"Most cocky commenters end up being on console." Why am I so, so unsurprised.

You should try frestyle bots vs ranked bots

The thing is that, speaking from experience as a plat, you can play like a d3 for a minute, and a g2 the next

Psyonix should add lile in FIFA when you can select the difficulty on how the bot player gonna play, it would be amazing

How do you get other people in the games with your bots?

Dang, rocket sledge is only diamond? bro deserves champ. nevertheless your rank wont change your content, keep up the grind. (btw i love rl tracker)
