Yeah, rocket league really is an independent game, it almost doesn't need updates since the skill ceiling will never be reached. I think the things EPIC is doing to the game are atrocious, indeed, but maybe overstated, since I don't think they'll listen to us. We should all be focusing on keeping the game alive and then maybe EPIC will see we're still interested in the game and then maybe they'll listen
@@TheOhWulfbro stop it. I’m sick of hearing this. A plan b is a type of pogo. The mechanic is still a pogo. Pogo is the category and plan b is a subcategory. Get it? Please spread the word
@@calicolombiano27 a pogo relies on a bounce from the car itself, which is why its called a “pogo” Plan b does not, the shot is in the landing. You’re not trying to pogo, Youre aiming the car to put the ball in a specific spot. The ball landing on you at the same time you land makes it impossible to bounce with the car, due to too much downward force from the ball. A plan b is without the entire pogo part and it’s still a pogo in your mind? Lol wut?
Its crazy how many of these mechanics are popping up bc of Zen alone. Before Zen nobody was expexting constant psychos. He took moves that seemed inconsistent and made them consistent which is what made him one of the best players and now everyone else is following.
No i dont mean Dark. Dark was doing pogos mostly in 1v1s. Zen was the one really showing off these abilities in RLCS levels proving them to be reliable even on the pro scene. Dark is known for his pogos and freestyles but i wouldn't say hes the reason they became popular for pros and tbh i havent seen Dark play in big tournaments against pro level players like Zen has.
Very good collection of mechanics, agree on all of them. I'd say that the recently discovered Luther flick will also become the meta once pros realise how versitile and useful it is. Being able to pinch a rolling ball to over 110kph+ consistently while also giving it a noticable change in direction is very powerful as well as unexpected. I hope there will be a pro that learns to do it consistently :)
5:28 I do this dash every day when I open the game, and I remember seeing AppJack doing it as a celebration after a goal, so I always called it the App Dash, but I guess he might not be the first player to do it. I love it so much, it looks clean af
8:27 Crazy recovery idea, i know this is after a goal explosion, but as he gets sent back to the wall instead of trying to turn your car around to get back to your net, you chain dash while going backwards. I wonder it thats possible, ive never seen anyone do it, or even try it
I always love this videos because its super interesting, but what's funny is all of these mechs have been used by mechs for freestylers for years. Pros really need to start looking at freestylers for new metas because they come up with such useful mehcs.
Wayton, i'm a caster from SAM and yes i do believe Dark-like movement is the future because he almost seems to cover for a 4th player sometimes... the increased saving potential and demo chances is massive. I myself highlighted that fact a bunch of times on our last broadcast and it's cool that people are noticing too and that you are creating awareness on these mechanics
Always a great video from Wayton. I wish we could have 1 or 2 a week but I know they are hard to make and take time to edit. The quality is always so good we all just wish there could be more Wayton to watch.
Those pogos with the ball on top have been done by the freestyling Community for quite some time now, they called them Plan B, while a pogo on its own is/was just done without the ball. I think its generally impressive to see mechanics that have been used by freestylers for years, are now used in way faster pro lobbys. Same thing for ceiling pinch doubles, sidewalls and psychos.
If I take anything from this video is that ZEN is truly pushing the boundaries. Crazy how amazing he is at just young age. ROCKET LEAGUE is really slept on... in just 2 years the competitive scene has evolved so much it is insane!
Always enjoyed this content! My defense is insane because I see and know when my opponents are going for these plays on me! Hard for me to learn thos wall dashes and certain mechanical plays. But knowing what other people can do to you is clutch for perfect counters
Skims get so much power because of the way RL fudges physics; the greater the difference in velocity between the car and the ball the harder the ball will be hit. This makes things like volleys and powershots feel really good, but enter these skims. The ball and the car are going in opposite directions so the difference in velocity is huge, resulting is a ridiculously fast shot. Rocket Science has a video on it from way back when I think.
7:50 "it somehow increases speed" The speed of the ball is influenced by the vector of contact you make with the ball. The vector is a line that connects the center of gravity of the car and the point where the ball touches the hitbox. The longer this vector is, the stronger the force applied to the ball. Not only that, you're applying a vector in the same direction (roughly) that the ball is already going towards, which in itself is a big factor
@@diegomastro5681 What I explained are NOT real physics. The direction of a rebound force in the real world is not influenced by a center of gravity, but rather the angle of first contact (which gets mirrored). What I explained is why in RL the ball behaves differently if you touch it with the hood or headlights of the car - totally different speeds and directions. This wouldn't happen in real life. But I would love to know why you say I am wrong.
I'm a bit disappointed that you don't show some clips of Mawkzy, because I think he is the best with ceiling setup or dash combo, he is a good exemple. Great video
I have something to say,some pogos are actually a mechanics called plan b, a plan b is basically a pogo but u pogo when the balls on top of the car,this can be used offensively to go in the net,or to continue a play or a freestyle shot when u need a recorvery.
One thing i highly dislike is people saying a car bounce under the ball is a pogo while it isn’t. A pogo is just a car bounce, if you bounce under the ball to pop it it’s called a plan B
I remember when I first started playing and some wanna be Smurf would do a half ass aerial. I was in awe. All these years later and I'm still in awe of half the stuff squishy could do. This stuff is beyond my comprehension. Sincerely, Forever Diamond 💎
freestylers have been doing like psychos and sidewalls for years already so thats really cool to finally see those moves at pro level and being really useful
Wayton, I have discovered a new way to use a mechanic. If you speed flip into a controlled flick, and zap dash up to hit the ball with power, you can beat two defenders with little to no boost. I hope you can try this out, thank you for your time if you have read this. Keep up the good work 👍
Ceiling pinch doubles off the wall are fairly doable for any GC level player imo. Off the ground is another story. That requires high level mechanics and boost control. That's zen's signature shot. I say this just because Wayton only showed examples of him doing it off the wall.
I'm so glad to see pogos being implemented. I learned pogos from busting my ass against the ground and wall and I kept it in my arsenal. Just seeing this up here feels dope.
so cool seeing techniques i learned like.. 6 years ago as a Champ player and such now be mastered to the point of being relevant in pro play. I used to LOVE goign for Skims because they were so rarely used and seen that they were never expected.
I few days ago I was playing ranked with my friends (we are both gold) and I hit a crazy phyco straight into there net, not even knowing what it was at the time
Not sure if it's already a thing, but while messing in freeplay I found a cool wavedash that pops your cars wheels up after. I did it by doing a sideways wavedash by stalling into the ground and holding powerslide.
I can only pogo consistently on the spoiler, I can’t grasp the idea of hitting the front end. I also feel like the spoiler makes more sense so you can boost back up towards the ceiling, With the front you have to flip your car back upwards again to get back up.
This is honestly a really, really amazing series of videos! I love them all! If nothing else, it creates a catalog of the most notable mechanics that are up and coming, but it's so much more than that. These videos are really works of art with how much detail and work that goes into them. I'm a stickler for details, and these videos go into a perfect amount of detail. And while it is going into these details, they're your works of art. The added flair you add on to the video through editing, camera angles, and pacing is just top notch! I think this is your best one yet! P.S. I know I'm generally quite critical of posts, videos, and content in general, and I don't mean to come off as abrasive. But, leaving that alone, you deserve a lot of praise for what you do! You contribute so much to the community positively.
You miss d by far the biggest one, one that so far has been done almost 10 times in EVERY match: the air dribble bump. In ones this has been done for ages, but this season, whenever someone does an air dribble, they will often leave the ball mid air and try to bump the second man mid air. While the ball is free and in the air, their own second man will go for the shot. This works so well because the third man will always wait for the challenge of the second man, but because the second man is taken out, the third man is almost never prepared for someone else suddenly taking the shot. Watch any game of the 2024 season and there isn’t a single minute without this technique
I just started playing rocket league and I can’t even believe how good some of you guys are but I’ve been practicing and the game has finally clicked with me ❤
Dark also is using a specific "dash" move to sort of powerslide cut but with a unexpected increase of speed. Commonly used to challenge faster then expected.
Still the new way of doing the ceiling shot can already be easily defended if done correctly basically first man forces de preflip the second waits con backboard and goes for the ball as soon as it the preflip happens, so obviusly this made the ceiling shot more difficult to stop by yourself but still not the greatest when defense has back-up.
Mechanic 5... I have seen comp freestylers, and even normal comp players, pull this off multiple times. Zen definitely didn't "Open the doors" for this mechanic.
Whats crazy to me is that it seems like boost is becoming less and less needed to perform powerful plays. With the wavedashes and other shots that require little to no boost. I feel like its entirely possible to eliminate the need to grab big boosts and instead opt for pennies as your following the ball or attacker. Soon we'll see a huge change and hopefully I can also bring that change. #Goodbyeboost
It's wild to me how crazy new mechs are getting nowadays. Let's hope that continues since it's one of the only things this game has left.
EPIC will ban mechanics also going further. Each mechanic/jump will cost credits. Surely that is where its going
@@Jkay400xjesus christ I hope not, that would mean they have access to the game code

Dark’s gameplay is literally the epitome of octane from apex.
Dont forget the double tap with the ceiling shot to setup a flip reset or a double tap off the backboard. Its close to the ceiling pinch double tap
1:56 it's that is called a plan b and not a pogo, because the car just touches the ball right after the bounce
I just started playing rocket league and I can’t even believe how good some of you guys are but I’ve been practicing and the game has finally clicked with me ❤
I use that unnamed dash all the time, I call it crash dashing ( im refering to the dash at 5:30)
I’ve been using skims for almost 2 years now and they are so useful and unexpected I am so excited for them to be used more in game

Hey Wayton, your RL-Videos are the best out there. Greetings from germany.
This guy never posts. But when he does, they’re the best vids in the RL community hands down!
Love all the META In videos Wayton! Keep rocketing!
First one is called a plan b
It really is amazing to me how much is possible just because players have gotten better.
the unnamed dash mechanic is called a mena flip.
bro forgot the bismillah flick

Great picks, I can definitely see a lot of this being utilized more this year :D My favourite mech of all has to be the pogo. Its so delicate!
Good choice of clips. Even got zen's first ceiling pinch in a tournament which I couldn't find again
hilarious how joyo scored a crazy sidewall read yesterday
Both Zen and Dark are single-handedly paving the way for all Rocket League pros.
literally a day after this video comes out joyo scores one of the greatest sidewall doubles ive ever seen
TAS took dash combos to a whole different level
I've been looking forward to this exact video.
amazing video--really great breakdowns and your skill is impressive to recreate them later
talking about dash combos is was decent with them but i used at the time a macro for my drift seeing how people can pull this off without it is crazy
Atomic and MajicBear are zooming around the field with those dash combos. It's insane.
Ceiling pintch doubles Evample has been hitting them for years consistently but props to zen for making them mainstream
The 3rd dash is called the Mena flip i think
these videos slma every year, hope mayn more will come!
Whats crazy to me is that it seems like boost is becoming less and less needed to perform powerful plays. With the wavedashes and other shots that require little to no boost. I feel like its entirely possible to eliminate the need to grab big boosts and instead opt for pennies as your following the ball or attacker. Soon we'll see a huge change and hopefully I can also bring that change. #Goodbyeboost
Never knew I could do all the mechanics in these types of videos one day
Anyone remember them being called planB’s when you hit the ball and pogo when the ball hits the ground and you bounce
yeah freestylers call them plan B
