Someone in the video game industry was audacious enough to wonder what would happen if racecars and soccer were combined into one thing. The result was Rocket League.
Featuring an innovative concept, this game allows players to be creative in their tactics, but sometimes things do not go according to their plans and the outcome can be hilarious.
With that in mind, we have compiled a list of 11 plays from Rocket League that will brighten up your day.
We start the list with a move that may divide our audience. Was it pure luck or was it planned? Or perhaps a combination of both?
It is up to you to decide. Let us know what you think in the comments.
Another one that fits into the "luck or skill" category.
This player turned his car into a torpedo and delivered "death from above" to the opposing team.
He also made sure to add a soundtrack to the video that makes sure everyone understands how epic his move was.
The physics of Rocket League allows players to get creative in their strategies, but sometimes they need to improvise as they go.
Watch as this dynamic duo creates a form of cooperation that you probably haven’t seen yet.
The move of their lives.
Scoring an epic goal does not mean much if do not celebrate accordingly.
Surprise yourself with an incredible score and wait for the celebration...
In a game as intense, and often times as chaotic, as Rocket League, many elements can come into play, but some of them can catch the players completely off-guard.
This is the case when mother nature decides to make an appearance and throw a wind whirl of changes onto the field.
Watching novice players attempting to tackle the game can be cringey for experienced players, but in this case, it turned out to be funny.
Watch as several players fail miserably in scoring the simplest of the goals, until someone finally lands the winning shot.
In order to score a goal, you must put the ball inside the designated area.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it?
Some players; however, opt for a more drastic approach and throw one of the opponents into the goal as well.
Cars can have many uses in Rocket League and as players explore the possibilities of the game, new utilities appear.
This is the case in this video, in which a player uses his car as a pedestal to place the ball onto. He waits for another player to hit it and score the goal.
Another instance of "death from above" and another case in which it is hard to judge whether skills or pure luck were the decisive factor.
Regardless, there is one thing we know for sure: this is not the type of move you get to see every day.
Scoring a goal in Rocket League can be difficult and matches can sometimes end in a 0X0 tie.
Some players; however, manage to score a point with ease, by touching the ball only once.
Watch the video above to discover how.
Last but not least, comes a YouTuber from my native land, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
He goes by the user name “Rato Borrachudo” and attempted to play through the night while live streaming.
When the exhaustion of playing games for several hours kicked in, he fell asleep during a match of Rocket League.
Despite the notorious disadvantage of not being awake, he still managed to score a point. Insta win!
Conclusion:
A good match of Rocket League is an intense experience, but that does not mean it cannot contain some humor.
In a game featuring as many variables, unexpected events can occur and when they do, it is time to sit back and take a good laugh.
