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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJW_RMcNyNo 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?

“The reverse Obama position” has likely never been said before

I honestly really like the feel of the backwards pinch. So nice imo

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.

4:49 The peak of my rocket league career is getting sledge to say "omelette mush party dash"
@ayakamii 3 years ago

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.

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.
@rensheisterkamp2759 1 year ago

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
@jcreek23 3 years ago

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.

If someone pulled a backwards pinch on me in-game I'd just leave ngl. It's too OP

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

I have one in sideswipe or normal rl it’s called the trampoline it’s where you turn your car around then kinda absorb the impact on you car and flick it back up it for air dribbling
@TheScienceNerd100 3 years ago

Ngl, heatseeker and a Nox Kickoff is a decent strategy I can see taking off
@1whospeaks 2 years ago

The Seal Flip was probably the cutest thing I've ever heard, especially since I was equally obsessed with alligators.
@yayman2538 2 years ago

The “reverse obama position” sounds so cursed… i love it.
@blazedenenra 2 years ago

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
@goddamnrice 3 years ago

I’m pretty sure the Bulldoze or the “Dozer” was popularized by MustingCow, and named by Jamesbot (In the Musty Bronze Competitive tournament video)
@Sidra__ 3 years ago

I like the backwards pinch. However, naming it the "rixuk pinch" or even "hcnip rixuk" would've been 10x funnier hahah

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
