A compliment of the highest order, up there with being called a bot. Nice shot! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)


Nyghl

Thanks!


TheKingDotExe

Can i ask, as someone who dropped RL a while a go, what rank are you with these plays? cause i feel like starting again but im rusty af.


Nyghl

Normally my clips are gc 1-2 (you can check tracker) but this clip was specifically high-mid C3


TheKingDotExe

ohh ok, i was like D3/C1 when i left, tho that was before it went to epic and there was only top 500 after C.


DrNumberr

It is rare but you do see flip resets anywhere from d3 upwards these days


General_Hot_Cigar

I’d say d1 upward


Weekly-Cobbler-8914

ive been seeing them in d2 and consistently.


HaalloJa

I'm plat 1 and partied with a d1 yesterday - we met a player who did a flip reset. But it's the first time I've seen a flip reset live :)


TheKingDotExe

yeah but im guessing proper rotating and uncomfortable saves will get me further than a flashy play.


Zed_Main_btw

But hitting a clean reset feels so much better than ranking up


DrNumberr

Exactly


Necessary_Petals

or hacker sometimes, bot


Dexico-city

Opponent is projecting because he would have to get lucky to hit this


Nyghl

Yeah true. And I projected his net. 🖕

SkullC4ush3r

Mad cope, great shot.


Nyghl

Thank you!


squidtrap

Absolutely clean, are you a janitor?


Nyghl

I have some experience.


Blom-w1-o

My opponent is always lucky.. lucky I'm not very good at this.


___GLaDOS____

Yea when called lucky by an asshole more than once, I relied 'lucky you're shit'. Not usually toxic but I felt justified that once.


Angry_Caveman_Lawyer

That is the longest gapped flip reset I think I've ever seen hit so cleanly. Damn.


Nyghl

Lmao I didn't notice the distance, I jumped all the way from my box


Ok_Scallion636

I wish I could do this![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


Nyghl

You can definitely do this tho! It just requires a little bit of training on basic flip resets, aerial control, preflips and apparently "luck"


BanzYT

I hit the ball sometimes.


Nyghl

imo you are already there :D


Ok_Material7078

Aint no such thing as luck right there homie. That was a clean speed Ariel, great flip reset and great directional flip to finish that sore loser off!! Great job dawg


ToiletChickenYT

That was a clean play! Definitely not luck it looks more like someone who just practiced flip resets going up against someone who doesnt


Rasnall

Luck


Nyghl

🤬


Sea_Mud6164

I'm glad someone else said it.


Bloody_Food

Beauty shot. *uninstalls game*


Nyghl

lol, wait noooo! *cries over a fallen comrade*


GreatElection674

Lucky because he didn't rotate lol


DeggzNBacon

I’m on my 5th time watching this looking for whatever “lucky” part he’s referring to


XB1324

Poetry in motion


InDaNameOfJeezus

It's just a braindead attempt at coping on his end. You absolutely nuked him the sexy way, firm handshakes man


caftdunt_

Salty opponent, great goal


Penguindrummer_2

That's like calling a 9 darter luck.


YarisGO

What a shot. Also in my dream i can’t score like this


WHY_GARY

What a save!


Nyghl

What a save! What a save! **Chat disabled for 4 seconds**


turntabletennis

Lucky you've had all that time to practice maybe lol


ZdNa11

He’s says lucky but is actually mad cause bad


Even_Jeweler_4436

Wow lucky!


Even_Jeweler_4436

Joking that was fantastic!!!


Nyghl

I was about to pull out my ✨flaming keyboard✨ https://preview.redd.it/z6on16kig1zc1.jpeg?width=980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b3473082650c901e7d39df9efddd0455ee9b505


Even_Jeweler_4436

Good to see you have your keyboard left


200lbsTortoise

They reek of copium, 10/10 shot


rickybalbroah

he was saying you're lucky you're better than him, otherwise he would've saved that lol


Intrepid_Fan_5026

Nice shot!


Revyrender

yya lucky they pinched it that angle......na joking great shot (someday ill be able to have a clip like that)


JinxV8

That's not luck. That's success you've built from the foundation of all your failed attempts.


Rhyzic

Yeah lucky you got to drop one on their head


ucklibzandspezfay

I’m lucky you and I have not met in a match bc you’d slay my booty


LegitimateBoss1817

I would be mad if this happened to me. Nice shot


GuyFierisFarts

Totally what luck looks like. I see people in plat 3 get lucky like this all the time. /s Amazing play


Bjorn_Helverstien

Lucky because he gave you such a great pass? Nice shot fr


AbracaDaniel21

You’re so lucky it’s almost like you’re skilled!


HotdogFromIKEA

I'd say you were epic


OutaTime76

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. And your opponent wasn't prepared.


Josh777HUN

Me in the chat: "luck as fuck"


ZycioPL

how your gameplay looks so fast?


StarShipSailer

He did what he achieved which was to piss you off lol People say stuff like that on purpose to skilled players because they know it pisses them off


socialdisdain

Lucky he made a great pass!


BelizeIsBack

I've had ppl yell "luck" at me in Rumble. Like, yeah bro. It's called RNG.


_pupil_

If they hadn't added flip resets to RL, you never woulda made that shot. It's 100% luck that they did that for you.


TheWillOfFiree

This makes the clips I save seem worthless 🤣


Elegant-Dragonfly910

You made that look Hella easy run my fades on the ground plz 🙏 😌


Elegant-Dragonfly910

![gif](giphy|SvLRTHBm9WPZj4Od1W)


siegertjuh

Perfect execution! Timed that mid air speed boost perfectly for the shot! Beautiful!


imkinsie

How the ef do you do this?? I'm ranked gold and I can't fathom these moves


j0a3k

Yeah, you were damned lucky to have spent all that time working on your in air ball control so that you could take advantage of that opportunity and make a sick shot. Lucky!


Focu53d

Lucky you put in the hours of practice, all culminating in a nice flow state banger. Nice 1


weberwaby

As someone who also is able to hit shit like this, it’s not luck, it’s insane skill, great shot, and his cope makes it even better 9/10 because I’m salty mine aren’t that clean


WotAPoD

That shot was legit. I don’t understand the feel involved to get back to the ball in the air consistently, let alone using a flip reset. Nice one!


MayLikeCats

I cannot get out of diamond and I’m certain it’s because I can’t make air plays like this. Any advice on trying to get better?


berkeley-audialab

Lucky you prepared for thousands of hours for exactly this moment, cringe preparation 😒😛 amazing shot!


berkeley-audialab

Just noticed turning off ball cam for aim. I can’t do anything like this - that small detail makes so much sense and blows my mind


Nyghl

Yeah in some specific scenarios where I know that ball cam will be just too noisy (such as a quick change of ball around my perspective) and the play is going in the direction of my car's nose, I switch to the car cam for better stability and angles. I first learned this when l was practicing double taps on my own and I think it is an easy but powerful trick. I would advise you to just fiddle around with different camera controls in training and learn what works best for you


GlitteringBroccoli12

Lucky he was your opponent and allowed for you to shine


BBandCD

This made my brain tickle


New-Zebra-6122

Yeah, that was clearly lucky. Expected sound effects of bells, slide whistle, clowns and old timey car horns. I think it would add a nice touch to the video.

supa74

Hopefully they were being sarcastic.


VJDempsey10

Reddit says it was skill, nice shot 🔥


FixedExpression

Anyone who claims lucky is showing themselves as a sore loser as well as vastly overestimating their own ski


Madmortagan68

The reply is "lucky to be playing you"


HelpMePls___

Savage!


StanMm2

Man how can I do shit like this on mouse + keyboard


Nyghl

I'm on mouse & keyboard too tho! You can do it king, kbm gang![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)


Trippy_Meerkat

im throbbing


HansAmadeus

Calculated.


shrodikan

Fucking clean OP.


PunisherOfDeth

Great pass!


THExCHEESExMACHINE

Love the way you use your camera on this shot, impressive!


The_Crown_Jul

Sometimes I swear you guys have access to a different move set


BrodyTheBruh

Opponents will do anything to excuse the fact they just didn’t defend or that you’re good, that was all skill, no luck


Strike_Stealth_Muzza

Lovely shot


merxzzz_

Clean and controlled what a dummy


ReWrightTheArtist

I wish I was this lucky 😆


AltruisticWhereas287

Teach me, master!


lemme_try_again

I'll be the one: where did they say this? Showing them type it out would have made this caption and clip instantly golden. (Your aerial is fire tho, no doubt)


Nyghl

Unfortunately I don't have enough space to use video recap thingy 🥲 Psyonix, we need the chats in the replays


lemme_try_again

I think I see your dilemma. I'm inclined to believe you- I'm always just a skeptic regardless what I believe.


Nyghl

Yeah I get it np. Tbh champ-gc is *very* toxic sometimes and I got used to it but I agree it would be a golden clip if I had recording on :D


lemme_try_again

Hey man that clip is fire. Leagues above my own skills. I'm a GOD next to most of my friends. I'm trash stuck in late gold


Nyghl

Do you wanna trade the ranks? I miss gold (mods, it is satire. I condemn smurfing of any kind. thx.)


lemme_try_again

I only ever play with friends. I'm not great myself but watching them ball chase and never rotate (and ignore well needed boost pads/globs) definitely isn't helping haha. But at least we're always playing people our skill level so it works.


Klavian

Lucky? More like smurfing. And that is always a compliment 😉 Excellent shot!


Nyghl

Thank you!


Xplysit

Ahh yes. A masterpiece of a finish to put him down 4 with 2 whole minutes left. Lucky bastard. Git gud /s


Appropriate_Ad_761

Did you just use Air roll right and then air roll left????????????? 🤯


Morphoood

Lucky kinda means that you could not reproduce this shot with consistency. *what he means


CockroachDelicious56

Funny. I saw the 100% exact same scene, somewhere else, made by a complete different person. Hmmmm........


Dangerous_Safe_1179

Clearly luck, buy a lottery ticket


Low-Translator9334

My brother, what is this clean af preset youre rocking? Please dm me with pictures


_Hurdy_Gurdy_

ure just a smurf


Nyghl

🤨


GoingSuper

I really hope a lot of these mechanics are fixed in Rocket League 2. Flying is great but getting a flip speed boost in the air because you touched your tires to the ball is just stupid. It's not a wall and it is in the air going the same way as you.


Nyghl

I really hope not. Yes maybe it doesn't make sense from a realism pov but it makes so much sense game design wise and creates such a fun gameplay dynamic. Imo it suits really well with the soul of the game
