I asked EVERY RANK to invent a NEW Rocket League mechanic. This is what happened...
Have you ever discovered a new mechanic? Rocket League is a game with an unlimited skill ceiling where moves and abilities all come down to how well you can control your car. Thus, even 6 years later, we are still seeing new game mechanics or moves being discovered. Some examples could be the Wall Dash, JZR Flick, Breezi Pop, Horse Dash, Curve Dash, and Tonic Twist. All of which have been discovered over the last year or so. For this video I asked every rank (from Silver to Supersonic Legend) to show me a mechanic or move that they have invented. It may be a legit and useful new Rocket League discovery, or just a funny, meme play (like the Obama Flick). Either way, their place in this video will be determined by 3 things.
1. The pitch for the mechanic telling me why it is useful or real.
2. The name the came for it (and why).
3. The video proof of their new Rocket League Mechanic in action.
It's part entertainment, part discovery as I think we have found a good mix of both meme mechanics and some brand new Rocket League mechanics for 2021. Enjoy.

Watch Episode TWO of this series: kzhead.info/sun/gq6Qj7aFmoCvgac/bejne.html Thanks to all of you that submitted, 160 entries was way more than I expected (even though there was 20 or 30 trolls). In the end this was *mostly* for fun, but it was interesting to see that there is STILL new stuff being found in this game. (and yes I'm aware these might have other names/creators) What was your favorite mechanic?

@@Rocket_Sledge ohhh I never knew that. Been watching yt for 4 years and I still didn't know that.
“The reverse Obama position” has likely never been said before
Definitely a brand new sentence.
The secret 65th position in the Kamasutra.
Tell that to your mom
Sorry but someone had to
Oh I'm sure it has but not in a PG context
4:49 The peak of my rocket league career is getting sledge to say "omelette mush party dash"
Lol
Omlette
Weird choice for a peak from someone who invented "The Bulldoze".
@@Rocket_Sledgethat's definitely a close second
@@woodenrl8304 if you watch mustys "getting announcers to casta bronze tournament" the announcers there also called it the bulldozer lol
I honestly really like the feel of the backwards pinch. So nice imo

9:10 That "Shrodinger's Touch" could be used to get a flip reset. It has potential, but would probably be really hard to utilize.
zero potential 💀 you and the ball are on opposite sides of the field
6:57 _"I think we've actually stumbled upon the fastest way to get back into a play after a demo"_ Woody: * _sobs uncontrollably_ *

@@RetTheEditor I think it would have to be a backwards dash to have any impact on spawn demoing.
@@Rocket_Sledge well It depends on where the guy trying to demo you comes from
His timing is almost perfect tho, highly doubt it'll affect him much
@@macrosan. Spawn demo'rs always lead ahead.
turbo did the "ret flick" in rlcs once and it was hilarious, so people actually started calling that a turbo flick. I think it's pretty suitable.
I feel like Turbo flick is completely failing the flick (no late touch either) and then getting a bump or demo.
@@AlgaeGaming ah yeah you're right
@@ayakamii This "Ret flick" was called the chaupt pop way back, when Chaupt72(?) was a content creator, but it stopped being used pretty quickly as more people played RL without hearing of the guy (understandably).
@@AlgaeGaming damn I've been calling the late touch flicks turbo flicks for a while now 😳
Yeah I was gonna say. I’ve been calling that a turbo flick
Rocket League is a timeless masterpiece. "Rocket car football" is just, a perfect concept that doesn't need any more refinement and never gets old.
That spawndash might actually be something we will be able to see in proplay. Getting an instant boost after a demo would be nuts at that level
If someone pulled a backwards pinch on me in-game I'd just leave ngl. It's too OP
Yes, yes it is
@@woodenrl8304 lmao
Ive actaully done it in practice by accident like a week ago
Did it in a C2 lobby by accident sfter whiffibg the ball, not a goal but it was the setup for a mean double tap
I get its probaly a meme entry but Loads have done it in game I've seen it early 2020 maybe 2019
The "Yoshi Flick" is incredibly common in GC Rumble and upwards, and has been for some time - usually it's used without releasing the ball to avoid opponents, but if you're good you can time it right to get the ball to release at the desired time.
I was plat when I found this more then a year ago, it's nothing new
GC in rumble💀💀💀💀💀
I do that in my private matches with my friends and we call it the ball pogo
The point of this spike flick is to flip shortly before the spikes are about to run out. If timed perfectly, it gives the ball more momentum, making it more difficult for goalie to defend against.
@@TehAntares you can turn spikes off whenever in Grid Iron I believe.
Wooden's bar dash is close to a perfect name but I would call it a post dash since its on the corner post. In my mind a "Bar Dash" would be if someone could figure out how to do across the transition from the top of the inside of the net (like your going for a squishy save) around the crossBAR and up the wall. Which could be a bail out option in the case where a player loops through the back of the net setting up for a squishy save but then realizes that they need to get to backboard instead.
9:12 I swear to god, Schrodinger's touch left me in awe and in tears from laughing, how can something be so relatable and make so much sense
The Seal Flip was probably the cutest thing I've ever heard, especially since I was equally obsessed with alligators.
I was obsessed with geckos
Ever since I was 4 or 5 I have become obsessed with Polar Bears. Now after 16 years later its not an obsession anymore but Polar Bears are still my favourites and I love them over any other animal :D

Theres a really good heatseeker player named chriso that has been doing that kickoff for a long time, and it does work fairly well
@@DrToad-lb5jk chri5tiano the goat
I actually tried making one called “shovel flick” you jump face your car down and flick the ball up making it high up I would usually use it if someone fakes kick off. If you were the miss u would just push the ball and it reminded me of a shovel this should be a mechanic.
Ah dang that furnace kick off thing with the musty I’ve been doing forever when I mess around in casual, it actually does work pretty well if you can time it right you can also lean back and backflip when your half way and if timed right you’ll throw yourself right at the bottom center of the ball and hit it over the opponent, it’s really hard to get the timing right in that though and tends to work better on corner kick offs
I like the backwards pinch. However, naming it the "rixuk pinch" or even "hcnip rixuk" would've been 10x funnier hahah
I think the rixuk pinch should be when you pinch the ball accidentally into your own goal.
Ttub hcnip
@@300subscriberswithoutanyvideos hahahah good one there :))
Damn I didn’t see your comment and said the same thing. Sorry for copying it even if it was an accident
I’m pretty sure the Bulldoze or the “Dozer” was popularized by MustingCow, and named by Jamesbot (In the Musty Bronze Competitive tournament video)
yep
i was just thinking this
lol i remember this
I call it “Walking the dog” it’s so annoying 🤣
Yep
Didn't expect to "AWWWWWWWW" in a Rocket League video but the fact this starts with him talking to his 8 year old son about the new mechanic he invented just melted my heart. Already suscribing.
The “reverse obama position” sounds so cursed… i love it.
Let's go! Bugdash for the win!
No spawndash
No.. it's obviously just spawn dash. A great standard mechanic we all need to practice now
The bulldoze comes from mustys video "I paid PRO casters to commentate a BRONZE ONLY 1v1 tournament"
THE DOZER
Yea this guy stole it
LMAO was looking for a comment like this
the musty dozer from musty's cousin
mustingcow is the best at bulldozers
Sledge dash is the best name. Its what you do. You slam like a sledgehammer into the ground to boost. It works intended since you need to be above ground to spawn in any game or you fall thru map
Seeing them support your boy like that gave me so much faith in humanity.
Seal Flip is OP!
Damn the spawn dash actually looks awesome, wonder is pros would use it in the future
Turbo did the “Ret flick” in rlcs once
its called the 'Connor snap' not the Ret flick, not sure how sledge got this one so wrong.
no turbo did a turbo flick, he completely failed his flick, this "ret flick" is more of an "afterflick," which is a much more straight-to-the-point name
@@jjhoffywhy bother name it after someone anyways, i'd rather call it an afterflick
@@transcendnze572 even so, pros and you tubers have been calling that afterflick mechanic a turbo flick. And even before Turbo popularized it by hilariously failing his flick and scoring in an RLCS match, FairyPeak had already intentionally mastered the mechanic in a 1v1 tournament almost a year prior to Turbo’s goal in RLCS.
I think everyone has pulled it off in game so yeah I could say any rlcs player has done it before and it’s true
I've been doing a variation of that musty flip kickoff for a while now except mine is basically the same mechanic as a 180 flick so your clip comes from on top of the ball instead of underneath it.
Literally subbed before the actual video started, great idea, definitely what keeps games alive.
nice to have you!
Glad I stayed till the end I’m gonna start saying Schrödingers touch now
its the phantom touch tho...
Yup, that mechanic is "phantom (touch)"

The Dozer was perfected by an up and coming pro named Amustingcow. His second finisher includes the mechanic The Musting Jump which is only one among several god tier mechanics
The fact you include your son so much on your channel is astronomically beautiful and wholesome
That schrodinger clip was legendary 😂
That Nox kickoff something-something was actuallay a strategy me and my friends used in heatseeker. We did a speedflick on kickoff and that launched the ball diagonally upwards (behind us) allowing us to do amazing air redirects
“The Ret Flick” is a mechanic that Fairy Peak mastered and started using in ones a few years ago. He could do it on command against the best ones players in the world, not just by accident. 😂
Was looking for this comment. It was actually deadly against even the best 1v1 players.
Yeah I remember some other youtuber that makes training packs done one for those flicks couple years back
Look mom, i'm on TV ! thanks for keeping the "unusual" content coming sledge, i wish you more visibility to inspire inovation for the futur updates
2:06 "now get into the reverse Obama position" shouldn't be a Rocket League sentence that exists
Never submitted a video, but In silver I had a kickoff where when starting from the sides you do 180 drift into a backflip right when your boosts runs out and I still use it to this day
The ret-flick is easily one of the best mechanics, tried it once in game and immediately got ssl 5 division 9

I don't know if it's quick enough to be worth it, but I often recover by doing a backwards wavedash into a half flip instead of just the half flip. Not every recovery, but when it makes sense to. I've never seen anyone else doing this so I assume it's inefficient, but it sure gets you going supersonic quick!
just today watched a guide on how to get supersonic without boost and backwards wavedash into half flip was one of the options lol
@@kiiturii ayyyy 1 year later its catching on lmao
that furnace flick thing i have been doing this whole time on kick offs and freeplay i thought that was how you did a normal flick LOL
I actually only play rumble, and I also discovered this “Yoshi flick” a while back and have used it to great effect, it’s so unpredictable and you get so much height out of it so quickly that it can’t be blocked if you time it right
He said I earned it 🥺
I remember using the Furnas kickoff in my old champ games, and it worked surprisingly
I still do it in diamond
There's a kickoff I always do which is similar to a furnace kickoff, but instead, you turtle then front flip which scoops the ball up
please make another video like that, it was so cool
working on one RIGHT NOW. out sometime next week!
I thought of the furnace kickoff so long ago. I called it the musty kickoff
I mean, that's essentially what it is.
Same
How many bloopers it took to say "the reverse Obama position" with full confidence in your voice?
lmao a few.
There is a kickoff I use sometimes that is easy enough for a gold to use and will get the ball to the 100 boost pad on the side you start at. (Has to be a corner kickoff though)
All the memes aside - i (as probably most others as well) didnt know that the Bug-Dash/Spawn-Dash was even a possibility. Cant wait to see the speedflip kickoffs change in the future.
You can’t use it on kickoffs since there’s a 3 second timer at the start during which your car falls to the ground
2:07 I can't believe society has regressed to the point where sitting upright is now the "reverse Obama position".
You mean "progressed"
@@woodenrl8304🤓
My favorite mechanic is a simple air dribble because of the fact that it is suck a simple concept yet takes so much control to actual do correctly
The bug slide is a mechanic in track mania as well. That’s probably why the name.
For the last year me and my friends use to call the « bulldoze » the « 21 shot » because one of our friends used to always score like that (he was in gold) and his name had 21 in it and we would always laugh when he scored like that and say « nice 21 shot bro »
I actually found out the mechanic from the ssl guy but it was really a struggle to get in in game since it was like 2 years ago so I could only use it in rumble and it was actually really hard to score it since players always rushed pretty fast towards me. But the second part, where u let the ball go, I really did not think about using these two together
i saw half of the mechnics before in normal game but its a great video!
i've literally been doing "the yoshi flick" since spike rush first came out, you can also do it backward to give it insane pinch speed
Well, it's got a name now
Thanks sledge your content is one of the most unique in the rl content creation seen
Ive used the spawn dash in training because it spawns u in the air a little bit higher than in game but never knew you that other people didn't know that or off demos
I made a mechanic called spring flick. Basically you start dibbling. Then dribble in the air while airolling. But only spin around once for good measure. You have to airoll for it to be a SPRING. Lastly front flip the ball to hit into your opponents goal.
Seeing these mechanics actually getting used..
i like to see my mechanic skyrocketing
I'm laughing at omelette mush party dash
I think the Diamond won. He had really creative ideas
bulldozer wasn’t his musty “invented” it

This us actually an amazing concept
It was a lot of fun. You never know what it's going to turn out to be. You can only put out the call and wait for submissions. The community came through, and when you include some meme mechanics it turned into a decent list.
@@Rocket_Sledge I’m not too sure on many others but for me I would love to see this kind of video again. Also, keep up the great work
I’ve got the best mechanic, it’s called the three wheel drift, you have to equip the car named armadillo and since it has three wheel and not two you can then pull of the new move called the three wheel drift
Plot twist: Only xbox players can use it
I also started trying the 1 wheel drift
that’s actually the smartest thing I heard so fat
you say that the plat didn't understand but you said it could be funny and i found it really funny that someone thinks a pitch is just 2 words "i understand"🤣🤣🤣
i loved the spawn dash the most!! kudos!
Might I add that the Yoshi flick is literally what bots do every time they get possesion of the ball in a spike rush exhibiton match
baguette flick: turn into a french guy then score
Whenever you score the ball on your own goal you're called a traitor, right? Well how about the "double agent"? You shoot the ball at your own goal then clear it to the opponent's side of the field while they're unsuspecting. You can also possibly score an across-the-field goal doing this
7:49 the fact that I have already been using this as my kickoff strategy lol
I found the last submission while playing spike rush with my silver friends, unfortunately my friends couldn’t detach the ball and ended up floating in the air waiting to be demoed
I’ve done the musty flick kickoff too… damn I even thought about making a video about it like a month ago
I’m not very good myself, but I’m pretty sure people at mid champ and above can recognize the mustyflip kick off and adjust to get a good 50/50 to kill the ball. I’m only a c3/low gc1 myself and I can react to that kick off almost every time someone tries it on me.
I’ve been calling “the bulldoze” “running the dog” this whole time. There’s even a variation called “walking the dog” where you don’t boost at all. Truly great minds think alike.
I always do a musty kickoff…. Nice vid
that musty kick-off, i use whenever i am eather winning by a lot or if i am losing by a lot. Been using it since gold and im diamond now
not trying be mean, but your still a gold if they didn’t change the MMR system.
@@XIMTANYL but im not a gold
POV: You as a gold already figured out the yoshi flick
LMAO IM PLAT AND DO THE YOSHI FLICK SO MUC
although i love the name yoshi, it's not a yoshi flick. it's a front flip
Its a ball pop
I am a diomond and I have a mechanic. I'll just call it the goal dash, the name explains itself, you just drive directly in the goal and keep flipping forward as you go through the back of the goal to tge top. You will quickly launch out of the goal, it's a good way to recover if you suddenly find yourself in the other teams goal.
rocket sledge every video still finds the best video ideas
I was a paid actor

I made a new kick off called the potato chips, you just do the normal kick of but just before you hit the ball you jump and air roll, making your opponent pinch off your car and back towards their goal/ directly sideways. For straight on kick offs you have to lean forwards as well but yeah. It’s named the potato chip because some people call potato chips wedges and you are wedging the ball in between you and your opponent
I sadly didn't submit but I have found a useful mechanic in gold 2: the backwards flick (idk if this mechanic exists yet but whatevs). When the ball is right in front of you in the air, jump, point your nose straight up, Air roll 180° so the wheels are directly facing away from the ball and once you get close enough to it, do a front flip. This will make the back of the car push the ball forward + upward and maybe make you score. Now this is useful since the wheels hit the ball less powerful than the top of the car and thus this flick allows you to get more power on it.
It's called a boss flick
The bulldoze was stolen from Jamesbot in mustys video where he had silvers 1v1 and let the pro casters cast the games. It's actually called "the dozer", so that one deserves credit elsewhere.
I call one I like to do the mc queen kickoff starts as a downward forward boosted dash and immediate speed flip before getting to the ball bc the dash gets u supersonic and the speed flip is what you like to use to get kickoff goals
The bar dash is a perfect name
Idea: go upside down right infront of the goal ask a teammate to go ontop of ur car and then just intiate passenger plane mode and carry him to the goal
the furnas kickoff is just how you'd do it in sideswap
I'm late for watching it now, but the Furnas Kickoff its actually great and I use it plus new kickoffs I made for myself just to try to see if it works to counter speedflips or fastest kickoffs since im not that fast. My friend told me to stop and start learning mechanics that champions do but he just doesn't get it.
Cool, the yoshi flick is a thing now. I've been using it all the time in spike rush and sometimes in rumble.
Hey sledge, this is for you just in case you do a part 3 then me and my friend can be the platinum tier because we made a mechanic together.
I think I have created a new kickoff when starting in the middle, you boost up to first boost pick up then front flips over the second and boost just before landing and as soon you hit the ground then jump wile boosting 😊
I've been doing this thing for kick off where u jump almost immediately boost and point yur car to the ground and then wave dash u have time for a second jump aswell if u do it good... its using old mechanics and I dont really think it's an effective kick off strat but it really throughs ppl off that might not be expecting it... im sure if u practice it could be better then what I explained....
That backwards pinch is something I've been working to perfect for a while without knowing anyone else has been doing it too. I would've called it the Slime Pinch I'm ashamed of myself.
A couple months back, I was in mid ariel, when I thought of doing something. Didnt think it was gon work, I made it seem like I was going to air roll, stopped turning, and air rolled BACK the other way, scooping the ball with my wheel and making it arch into the goal. One of the coldest moves I've ever done. And I clipped it
Show me
