SKYMONKEY42
Добавлен 1 фев 2007
At the start of 2024 I’ve become a Rocket Racing Fanatic! It’s Not your traditional racing game. It’s pretty complex and requires quite a bit of dedication to get good at it. Just know, it’s a game that people either love it or hate it. If you want to do speedruns, practice, or ranked, send me a friend request.

Race 46 (Final) - Slap Happy (No-Turbo Challenge)
The reason this is the final race is because sadly I (like many others) had no idea that the ranks were going to reset the next day (being the day after I recorded this race). It was a real surprise as the notice of this was so last minute. Plus, the ranks in Rocket Racing were already reset just barely over a month ago before this one. I was so bummed as Rocket Racing normally had a separate rank reset schedule. Well, this time around reset for RR was going to be included in the same reset update for Build/Zero Build. Such a drag, I really wanted this series to keep going a bit longer but I guess that's how it goes sometimes. At least on a positive note, this being the final race of the ...

Race 45 - Airborne 2 (No-Turbo Challenge)
Просмотров 157 часов назад
I want to point out that in the previous race I finished being at Champion 7%. Unfortunately in my next race, the Fortnite application got an error to which the game crashed and force exited. So after logging back in, I noticed (frustratingly) that my progress dropped from 7% back down to 4%.... (SERIOUSLY!?!?!? ::Face Mash on Desk::) Well, at least to my benefit I got Airborne 2 as a decent ma...

One thing to take note of is 1st - 3rd normally gains you rank %. Sadly at Champion rank, if there's only 1/2 a lobby of players, then only 1st and 2nd will gain you %, while 3rd holds no gain, and 4th loses you 1%. Is what is it is....
Race 43 - Delirium (No-Turbo Challenge)
Просмотров 259 часов назад
Racing on Delirium with some decent players is not so favorable for this challenge. There is a solid shortcut that can be taken (2 different ways of performing it) if you stack a large drift meter and use turbo which can give a massive gain ahead of others that don't do it. Unfortunately, this shortcut cannot be done effectively without Turbo leaving only the smaller shortcut near the end worth...
Race 42 - Day Drifting 2 (No-Turbo Challenge)
Просмотров 199 часов назад
Yay No deaths, but still not a very good run for me. It's nice holding the lead most of the way but missing important boosters along with mag-flip failed attempts is very costly and not going to help your race! Frustrating on my end, but still gaining some progress!
Race 41 - Slap Happy (No-Turbo Challenge)
Просмотров 2112 часов назад
The finish on this race was so close you could probably even call it a Robbery as I was certain that I was in front all the way to the finish line (probably because of lag). Seriously.... a 0.00.011 second difference is crazy! One other thing I'm certain of is that if I had not also chain drifted on that first hard turn during Lap 3 by accident, the finish most certainly would have went in my f...
Race 40 - Anaconda (No-Turbo Challenge)

Anaconda is one of my best maps but even with that, it's very hard to compete against really good players in the mix like Assassin-Victor whom is known to be a really good and really fast as a player! Seeing his name, I almost decided to break my No Turbo rule just for this race because I would have loved to see how it would have turned out if I were to have been using Turbo as I finish this ma...

I love Sidewinder, but this race really became one hell of a frustrating hot mess. I was certain it was going to be a total wash, but surprisingly by lap 3, I managed to catch up with a few of us fighting back and forth within the top 4 positions!

Race 35 - K2 Raceway (No-Turbo Challenge)
Просмотров 13День назад
For whatever reason, I had a barrier glitch this race. Also if you notice, some parts it looks like I'm moving in slow motion, and then all of a sudden the game super speeds forward. This issue seems to happen when your ISP is running really laggy. Now for the Race itself, it was soooo close at the end I couldn't believe it!

Race 32 - Obsidian (No-Turbo Challenge)
Просмотров 10День назад
I may have to rework my strategy on this map. I'm not sure if the shortcut I'm taking (without turbo) is faster, vs taking the tunnel to the left a little before it. I'll just have to give it a try next time!

can always play by yourself without challenges to get up to champion 10% again real quick then continue
@@_DigitalDave_ That’s true. Maybe I should consider doing that.
Ggs, gave me funni route idea now i think
Jam! I’ve been hoping to see you do this challenge someday! You are so damn good! Seriously, Try it! It’s quite challenging once you get to Elite and I would really like to see what you do to keep your speed consistent.
Dang I found the second shortcut
Yeah the 2nd one can be useful, especially on lap 3. If you have at least 2 1/2 turbo bars filled by that time you can use 3 turbos till the end for a strong finish. I do it in my Delirium competitive race listed in the ‘RR Competitive’ Playlist. (Edited for grammar error)
just raced against you ggs
@@rohanisya2 Yeah! You were right behind me snapping at my back like a piranha on Dust Up 1 lol! GGs friend!
@@SKYMONKEY42you’re really good, I probably can’t catch you until I learn bhops
@@rohanisya2 Thanks. Yeah Bhops aren’t my specialty lol. Not yet. I can do maybe 1 good one but not back to back.
Yo we just raced on alpine, what was that path you took?!
@@basilford9780 oh that lol. At the beginning if you notice the road goes a ways then curves around to the right around the mountain which you can see the upper Road above you at the starting line. What you do is you take that upper road to the right going downward. You’re basically going the wrong way, but once you hit that checkpoint going down the checkpoint timer stops and then you will see a checkpoint off to the right, you have to go for that one by jumping up. That’s pretty much the ideal to goto route everybody is taking.
Ggs insane comeback 🔥
@@arikatomegaming thank you. I tried hard for 1st, but I’ll just take 2nd 😄
Oh dude....my heart sank seeing that ending :(
@@_DigitalDave_ lol… yeah I don’t know why I tried to drift further on that platform
Were these combos done with the help of mames cheat code file
@@jvega6381 I didn’t perform these but i can assure you these are all legit combos. There were 3 versions of the game 1.3, 1.4, 1.5. Certain glitches were performed based on certain versions of the game. Even the 1.5 version still had glitches.
woah that was an insane run! Why you not using boost though?
I'm doing the "No-Turbo Challenge". You basically remove your Turbo button and try ranking to Unreal without Turbo. It's tough! I'm 1/2 way through Elite right now! xD
@ oh that’s a tough challenge!
@@arikatomegaming yeah it sure is! 😅 I’m currently uploading a race series of the no turbo challenge. I currently have recordings making it to champion rank which I will upload them day by day in order.
W 🔥 this was an insane run. Also the username haha 😂🔥
lol, yeah, I wanted a funny alt name. 😂. Glad you like it.
Subscribing to your channel buddy
Thx bud!
Dang I got my butt handed to me in that one!!! 😂❤ GGs 🔥
It’s all good! GGs man!
Are you the same SkyMonkey42 that played Mechcommander gold? if so we recently revived mcg over on gameranger care to join?
@@Flamethrowermk2 I am! I used to play it on game ranger about 3 years ago. Unfortunately when I switched to another ISP, game ranger would never correctly launch the game (issue is the ISP being so restrictive). Sadly, I won’t be able to play until I change my ISP. That will be soon though and I will surely come back! Tell Eratic_Cheese I said hello! He goes way back!
@@SKYMONKEY42 No problem, also we are active on discord feel free to stop by. btw i don't think cheese plays anymore he hasn't been online in months.
@@Flamethrowermk2 bummer. He was such a good player. Well I’ll stop by sometime.
Just encountered you on casual and immediately mellowed out and focused on some of my weekly quests lol
@@mvl666_darkrio hey buddy! Yeah I saw you in the matches! Sorry about that, I was just killing some time. It was nice to see you! Add me if you like. Maybe we can practice speedruns sometime!
nice win
I'm amazed. Your route looks slower than the route I take, yet it's objectively way faster. I admire your understanding of the game! Very well executed.
I know for this route that I’m taking is not ideal and is most likely slower. So on the flipside I tried to build my turbo meter. When I got into the lead, I was trying to pour it on early. I just knew players would at some point catch up so I was banking on three turbos near the end to keep my position. I was lucky it worked out because dewder and Leo were closing in fast by the end. 😅
My friend and I hate this track, but I love your run on it.
I gotta admit, I hated this map for a long time until I started seeing how really good players were picking up so much speed. I worked on it in speedrun and saw some major results of improvement implementing what I learned. Also this run, I was extremely lucky to Bunnyhop off that guard rail as it was not intended, but hey! I’ll take it! 😅
w
Sick tricks!
Thanks man!
I just got into a race with u not to long ago. I'm a champ rank player and ur a very good player. My user is Dxrk-_-Rea1ity. You beat me in K2 Raceway. Keep up the good work
@@darksaiyan5792 yeah I saw you last night! I would’ve stayed longer and grouped with you but I had to leave. Was loads of fun. I’ll see you in game next time I’m on! 🫡
Absolutely unbelievable gameplay as always. Way to much time has gone into practicing that XD
Thanks man! I was gettin rusty on this one and it’s one of the few maps where I often hear this music. 😅
I'm so confused. I just played this map at champion 60% and was struggling to get top 4. So I look on youtube for a normal unreal race on that map and find yours. I kid you not you did the exact same strategies and mechanics I used, but I am unable to get anything better than 4th. Did everyone get that much better in the last 6 months or something?
@@Hydra48 odds are you were probably playing on NA-East. It seems a lot more top players play on that server. Try Central or West. You should have a better odds. The Competition has definitely increased. I took a two month break from the game, came back and a lot of my fellow rivals have left me in the dust. Especially on the new maps. Also, it seems a lot more people have really gotten used to doing “mag flips” More often. Many have improved quite a bit. What I’ve also noticed is I’ve seen some players that were really good at the new maps, but not so good at the older season 1 maps. Also keep in mind this video you commented on is pretty outdated. I do a different strategy now. I just haven’t uploaded a video of what works better.
@@SKYMONKEY42 I think I am on NA-East, it never even crossed my mind to change it lol. Yeah it's definitely harder than it was last season which I would've hit unreal by this point. You just described me because I am significantly better at most of the newer maps than the super old ones, not sure why. I did notice that this video was outdated, but I was specifically looking for unreal runs that weren't world records. I'll take your advice to try Central or West and will keep looking out to try and find new strategies on these maps. Thanks!
@@Hydra48 sounds good if you want go ahead and add me, I play on Skymonkey42_YT Maybe we can get some games in. Oh, and by the way, try looking up LainRacing. He should have some videos that are useful for the old maps. I don’t think he plays anymore, but during season 1 he was quite good.
yo u still playing bud??
@@MG.92Plays hey man! Yeah I took a break for 2 months, I just came back about a week ago. I’m not so great at the new maps yet but I’ve managed to improve a decent bit on a lot of the others. I just don’t get to play like I used to but I’m working on it. 👍
Oh cool! What was your name in match? And thanks for the sub by the way!
Gg just played with you. You got the w. Gg. Subscribed
Eyes in the skies noobs! Cuz this absolute unit is flying high
Stunning performance and I cant believe even while booze croozin we still hitting numbers
This rank is so crazy it is undoubtedly a "Unreal" rank. Good Job!
After seeing so many of ur videos I can say this is certainly a hood classic moment! Great Racing :)
A new personal best!? Wow keep getting better my man :D
More people should see these videos! Lets go :)
Absolutely Unreal! Great times
AMAZING~!
You play on x box series x? Can you tell me if there is a delay in the races and how they are viewed on the console?
I play on PS5 only. I don't know about delays in the races but if you see delays in my video races it's because of Lag (my internet isn't the best). PS5 has the recording software. I use PS5 to cut the videos and also save a screenshot per video. Then I copy these files to a USB, I change the file names to keep track and then upload them to RUclips.
Love the mag flip you added
Yeah, it was pretty good! Unfortunately, one of them didn’t go as planned lol but was lucky to still recover it. Thanks for watching.
YIPPPIE more vids to watch 🎉🎉
And more coming soon! I got my Unreal rank down to 290 yesterday and I recorded alot of videos within that progress. Should have them up within the next day or so.
NICE RACE!!!
Thanks Jam! I liked how clean this run was overall!
When's next vid/ race gonna be? I'm excited to watch some gameplay
I’ll try to upload some today. Family got sick throughout the week and I got busy. I have a bunch of videos ready to be uploaded. I’ll try to upload some today.
That was a good Race to watch 💪
@MadGamer.92 Yeah it was a close race. I’ve seen that guy “Ty Passed U” a few times. He’s good. I learned a better way to race this map. I have a few videos I plan to upload racing with “Lain Racing” and others. Lain is crazy good. He made it to Unreal # 38. I’ll upload the races soon.
Elite has been the 'hardest' rank for me so far, still pretty easy but from all the other ranks which i absolutely flew through, it was the most challenging. Champ seems easier than Elite now imo. Can't really tell in much depth because i only played 6 matches in Champion so far, but out of these 6 i won 4 of them in a row by placing 1st. So as of right now I'd say from my personal experience that Elite was the hardest and Champ is easier now. It took me approximately 4-6 days to go from the lowest rank to my current rank: Champ at 19%. I played around 3-5 hours daily in those days. I don't know know my overall win ratio since it's not listed anywhere but if i had to take a guess I'd say between 70-85% placing in top 3. Irrelevant personal information, I'm gonna stop playing it now and not grind to Unreal because i lost interest because it got too repetitive and very boring quick + i only wanted to get Champion to obtain the red Champ wheels because i think they look super cool. The rewards of reaching Unreal do not excite me enough to grind through it any further although it would definitely be very much possible for me. I think the Unreal wheels are just a bit mehh and look the same like the Diamond wheels just a darker purple colour. It would've been so cool it they made them like the exact colour of the Unreal rank itself + add a glow effect to it! That would've definitely kept me grinding for it no doubt. But enough gossip from me
@zuo yeah, I feel you there about the reward. It was kind of subpar being Just purple rims (that I never use). Pretty much the Ranking doesn’t really start until you’ve reached unreal. Then it’s all about how close to #1 you can get. I stopped at 572 because after I got to unreal my kids wanted their purple rims too lol. I honestly wish there were rewards for getting lower in number within unreal. Outside of grinding the other accounts I’ve just been doing private races with others from “Lain Racing’s” discord channel. It’s a lot of fun, plus I’ve been trying out the custom maps others have made.
@@SKYMONKEY42 I recently posted a short on this manner regarding the rewards. I think it's a joke that you can equip any color of wheels which you usually need to aquire the rank for if you buy them from the shop. Any set of wheels from the shop has full access to all colors even the purple Unreal. Even the Mc Laren wheel set has all colors unlocked without the need of the rank. So the rewards are completely useless lol. The only way to show them off is to use them on the Octane with default set of wheels.
Goodluck with your future races!!! Not sure what time you're aiming for
Wow, Hi Jam! I didn’t expect to see you here! To be honest, I’m not really sure what time to aim for but I am trying to improve. I just recently learned to slingshot and trying to implement it where I can. Appreciate you commenting! Thanks for watching.
Of course!!! If you need any help I can give tips here and there but for the most part good run
❤
Good run man!
Thanks! I’ve been trying to replicate this time and it’s hard lol
Tried this tactic, I'm better now in any case than I was before, thanks
Like
Thanks! I was pretty happy even though I could’ve squeezed out one second better! I think it’s my cleanest run with a decent time. Thanks for watching.
@@SKYMONKEY42 This is very good. This is a game of speed. What is your place in the top?
@@toni-toni-antoni My best Unreal # was 572. I didn't grind any further because I was working on a 2nd unreal account. Both are in the 800-1000 range. I have 2 more Unreal accounts (My kids wanted the Purple wheels), those are # 6000-7000 lol. I have 1 more to finish then I'm going to try for top 200-300, we'll see!
Nicely done smashed it 💯💯
Thanks man! I learned some new tricks on this map and I’m trying to figure out a cleaner run that I can post with a better time but this one wasn’t too bad. I nailed A 2.54 which was pretty good but I didn’t record it lol. I hope to post one soon
NICE RACE BUD 👍👍
Thanks man I’m still working on it! I actually beat this time and got a flat 2.37 but I wasn’t recording sadly. I’ll give it a try in the next few days because I see areas where I can keep my speed up more consistently. Thanks for the comment
My pb is 40
1.40!? Jeez. I Justbarely broke into 1.45 yesterday and that took a lot of effort lol.
@@SKYMONKEY42 look m'y run
Nice
M'y PB IS 40
Never realized how non physical those goal posts are. Also real shame on that first run, if you hit those last 2 boosters you for sure would have won XD
Yeah, man it’s like you’re about to win, and then your soul just got ripped from your body lol. All good though. There’s a lot of people getting into the unreal rank now. Thanks for watchin!
Very nice! Faster than anything I could do
Thanks bud! Work and progress for me! 👍
