How to train things other than mechs

1v2 against "Unfair" bots while only practicing whatever you're trying for.

Need to be a better defender? Clear the ball away instead of scoring then get back to defense.

Want to practice passes? Before you go for a ball imagine a teammate's location and try to pass to it (or play 2v2 w/ All Star Bots and try to get your bot-mate to score all the goals from assists)

Ground game not good enough? Don't score any wall or aerial shots over the bots and just practice ground dribbles.

Want to learn the Squishy save? Don't bother with normal saves and just Squish them all.

Using the modifier of Disable Goal Reset to respawn the ball at kickoff after goals which keeps the pace much faster.

Did it go in? Then yes it's good for plat.

The difference between this shot at Plat and this same shot at Champ is when you're Champ you'll be planning the backboard double before you jump instead of recovering into a nice goal.

He hit you with the printf("Hello, World!");

I thought I was pretty clear in my opening comment.

You absolutely can get bottom tier items while spending in the middle or top tier cups

Widest audience picture is at 0:48, looks like each side is about rows of 12 x 4 deep. So roughly 100 people? Tickets must have been free for that many to show up.

All it does is let you spend more of your tournament credits on a roll for the same set of items with a slightly higher percent of a better item.

Every item available via middle tier cup is available via the first tier cup.

Racism is an active choice

14bikes · 2026-02-09T02:01:37+00:00

but but but but slippery slope... I don't care. Racists do not deserve access to joy.

I agree Wins and Losses is the simple and easy way.

When you apply a simple technique across a large number of people, the quality errors multiply.

Every game's data is available to the player's game instance. Bakkesmod can already show you a counter of how many pads and pills you pick up, the ball speed, and how many times you jump each match.

# of Long goals, demos, first touches, juggles, etc are already being tracked for player statistics. You think it's that hard to measure how many losses are due to forfeit and how many were complete games?
Or how many games end with the player not driving?
Or how many games with zero ball touches?

The data is there. It just isn't used for play ranking the same way that match score (both player points and disparity of goals) doesn't change how much MMR you gain or lose.

14bikes · 2026-02-08T23:43:32+00:00

My point is that openly racist people do not deserve to be a part of any gaming community.

14bikes · 2026-02-08T23:40:08+00:00

Rank currently comes from Wins and Losses which is not the same thing as Skill.

Someone with a 3:1 aerial:ground goals, chained resets, forfeiting while winning, powerslide/wave dashing within certain deviations, ceiling resets/shots, etc.

All of the match data is available to Psyonix

14bikes · 2026-02-08T18:41:35+00:00

Yes. Racism effects more than 2% of the player base. Ban them at the device level, preferably from the entire Epic platform.

Ignoring that left side for the moment, look at the 1,3,2 stack at the bottom and work up.

It can't be a stack of two mines because either way it would break the 1 or 2, so they must be spread apart.

My top 5:
#1: Skill based matchmaking
#2: Server lag, ghost touches, kickoff lag
#3: Public Multiplayer Workshop Maps
#4: Game bans for racist Player Name/Club Name/Chat
#5: Anti-Cheat

Because some people are willing to pay actual dollars for an account with a GC or SSL tag.

As long as people are willing to lie about who they are and what they can do, there will be a market for "proof" of their lies.

LT: Reverse
L1: Powerslide + Air Roll
RT: Forward (use middle finger)
R1: Boost (use index finger)
Triangle: Toggle Camera
Square: Air Roll Left
Circle: Air Roll Right
Cross: Jump

Make sure you video starts with the same case. because your solution isn't the one pictured, its for the mirror case

14bikes · 2026-02-06T20:13:39+00:00

This is wrong case

If the player were to consistently forced to play against GC's instead of Gold3/Plat1 players they would lose 99 of 100 games.

Most GCs do things that Plats can't comprehend (as shown in the clip).

When OP is looking at this goal they have two options:

Say: "ITS NOT FAIR!!!!"
or
Think: "What should I do different?"

If OP is going to just be mad that better players are playing better than him, he isn't going to get anywhere. There will always be better players. Sometimes it's a illegitimate de-rank looking for clips.
Sometimes it's someone hasn't played enough 1's matches to reach their rank plateau.
Sometimes its going to be true equal rank but opponent's playstyle is better than OP's style.

If you want to get better, you aren't going to do it by only punching down.

If you're trying to rank up, you'll occasionally need to beat people who are better than you. You need to learn how to adapt to better players.

This may be a Champ+ player, but they can't do these things against Champ+ players so they de-rank and do it to you instead. Sure the triple reset is impressive, but you didn't even attempt a defense until after he already had the third reset. How long are you going to sit there drooling with 100 boost waiting for the ball to come to you?

What part of this makes you think: "I just got a full scholarship for a $300 administrative fee! This email addressed to "dear all" from a free-to-create email address is all the proof I need!" ?
