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.
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
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.
@@ziah2theworld just imagine u comment on a RL video and dont know what team zen is on.. does anybody even understand the level of cluelessness with this one
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
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.
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!
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
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.
Actually he noflipped, he used the momentum from the rest of the flip to continue the recovery I just downloaded the replay to make sure. It makes sense he can chain dash and zap dash so consistently his speed is pretty nutty. The ball kind of prevents the flip anyways so he gets away with it.
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)
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 :)
Boost conservation and unpredictability mainly. As Tena said, each flip is more a horizontal move, so chaining those and feathering boost let's you cover crazy distance and still have tons of boost. And to be unpredictable, chaining flip resets let's you creep ever closer to the opponents net and remain in full control. There's one goal that Tena also explained where both opponents are reading two of his resets, but they don't read the last one, so he can sneak the ball past. O and cause it looks cool
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.
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 💀
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
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.
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
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!
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
@@swagie_ He really wasnt, 3 years ago he got banned from rlcs and not top 100. He started grinding leaderboards like 2 years ago, and only just getting into showmatches.
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
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.
Rocket League is one of those games that looks so easy and fun but once you actually play you realize this shit takes thousands of hours to get this good

it was actually Jack that said that on Johnny's stream but yh I agree
@grimu8844 yeah you're right, I think I was watching a heap of johnny/jack vids then and I'm crossing wires

I love how every time he talks he gets interrupted by Dark hitting an absolutely insane clip
At 4:32 you were like hold on what’s going on there 😂😂😂
Example of dark interrupting tena's talking 7:58
Man, every new Dark video is like a Christmas present. excited to see.
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 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.
My nephew and I love your educational content about rocket league.
16:55 this guy became Mr krupp from captain underpants 💀
1:45 blud said "NOW KSI"
Rocket league fanboy saying “blud” Jesus Christ fuck this generation
14:27 the plats will always save it….
you know their getting to the pro level when they can pull off double resets
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
correct, it is a murie rest. however, maktufs are the same thing but you do the flip with airroll so its more of a spin. no stalls used
@@m1nt932 oh, ok. It Just look like a stall ig. It is actually a back flip cancel with some directional airroll at the end
Stall💀 its not a heli bro
@@m1nt932im pretty sure you can do without airroll. I see alot of freestylers do it without airroll. But yeah.
@@Official_Solok yh its diagonal backflip cancel which let the car spin just like a speed flip
His mechanics are much better now his movement is better than ever and he's more consistent

Coms coms coms people!
that reset at 8:01 is called a muri reset, popularized by muricles like 5 years ago
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
Can anyone tell me the fennec preset he was using? (Including the colours)
do u guys know dark's recent control sensitivities and camera settings? please someone reply to me
For the first vid when his name was kaiser what is his camera settings
7:02 in my head i was like "I can hit those shots every single time", 5 seconds later I regretted that thought
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.
U speak Arabic?
Bro I need that preset when dark is in the fennec! OMG its so clean
Pretty sure its the ombre decal, with anodized pearl (?).
I love his pogo shots
14:30 how did he cancel his flip so fast that he was able to regain control like that?
He stalled right after he jumped then 50d and air rolled to the right after
Actually he noflipped, he used the momentum from the rest of the flip to continue the recovery I just downloaded the replay to make sure. It makes sense he can chain dash and zap dash so consistently his speed is pretty nutty. The ball kind of prevents the flip anyways so he gets away with it.

at 8:20 that's not a maktuf
can you turn down the music a little its kinda loud
2:12 did dark just save his teammate's shot
8:18 not a maktuf but a muirie
Yep
Thank you someone notest
ur underrated btw do u wanna 1v1 the latest version of nexto?(Without using air dribbles and flip resets)
dark should fr take a iq test holyyyyy

somey underrated asl
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😂😢
Crazy improvment.
Tena at least give Dark a shout out for his YT and twitch. Gave everyone else a shout out except the man himself.
starting from 10:40 was funny
Dark plays exactly like me but a bit more consistent and mechanical
lowkey i fw this video
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 knew Dark was good but he is beyond good
Yess more of these
A lot of people think they are the main character in a match, Dark IS the main character in every game.
As far as him playing slower, i personally think its because he is using fennec. Octane feels so much faster than fennec
I don't even clip like dark in my dreams
this'll be me when i get my new controller on tuesday
Dark is a ball hog only when playing with ppl worse than him. Watch his game with Zen, its absolute art
8:27 not a maktuf, its a murie reset
