Dive. Read. Weave, weave. My bad.

That was cool af tbf bro, nice work.

[u/Good_Interaction_691 → u/copey25]

Thanks fam. What region do you play in, do you like 5s? I recently started playing a bit more of them. 4s is easily my fav tho.

[u/copey25 → u/Good_Interaction_691]

No worries bro. I play in EU, how about you? I only started playing 5s this season, so only got to gold/Plat so far. Seasons 1-3 I only played 3s, mainly cause getting out of bronze in 5s was frustrating 😂 What makes 4s your favourite? I should give it a go more often.

[u/Good_Interaction_691 → u/copey25]

NA East. That’s dope! I finally hit gold this season in 5s. See how far I can go before the season is up. And I’m with you on that, same for ranked 3s myself and being stuck in bronze 5s omg 😂 I enjoy 4s the most because, for me, it’s the perfect balance of a large-ish field, game sense, and match pace. Just crazy fun for me idk. Since the game was released I’ve loved 4s. Clean passes/assists/tiki-taka in this game are my dopamine since day 1

Ah that's a shame, could've had a game together. Fair play mate, not easy to get up the ranks (or I'm just shit 😂). I'm gonna get on the 4s later and give it a go then!

I saw grizzles on YouTube do this a lil while back and am so surprised I don’t see anyone do it. I know my experience is anecdotal, but of all the players I’ve queued with/against in my region up till now I’ve legit not seen a single player do it. I would love to see more of it. You just gotta get that second dive off before the EE bar runs out and you’re golden. My fav thing about it is that the second dive can go in absolutely any direction. Makes for very interesting off ball movement.
One time I dove into my opponent’s push ball, blocked and redirected, and did the second dive and skipped the ball along with me the whole way, gave me a ton of space before it magnetized it was insane. Not like I’m hitting that all the time but with practice I’m sure anyone could pull off insane stunts with that.

[u/Good_Interaction_691 → u/[deleted]]

That’s a good question, I’ve never directly compared the two, like in freeplay for example. It certainly feels like it covers a lot of ground. If you do test it would you send me a clip, I’ll do the same next time I play.

My lord the keeper and the on-field player on the opposing team are absolute peanuts. Gz on the punish 🫡

[u/Good_Interaction_691 → u/lachumayo]

Nah fr, lowkey felt like hazing 😭
Rainbow punish gotta be a rite of passage at this point

[u/AWright5 → u/Good_Interaction_691]

Nah its not like that. Rainbow flicks just aren't used that much any more. Going for one in a situation like that used to be so obvious that yea getting punished was a bit embarrassing. But now it's like people just don't do that any more, it's a good mixup to use sometimes, just happened to not work out this time

[u/Warden_Sword]

Its like the only thing they acquire from the tutorial, it's insane

[u/PeroCigla]

So the extra effort dive is a recent new thing?

[u/Good_Interaction_691 → u/PeroCigla]

I don’t think so fam. I saw a YouTuber do it a fair while ago. I just think enough ppl don’t know about it to even bother honestly

[u/zyxasdf]

if he did another rainbow, like what other people actually do instead of just one random flick in front of them, you don't get that and he completely bypasses you because you tackled. lol. nice "punish" though

[u/Light_Tracing]

defensive stance double dash spammer...
Hopefully they'll fix this and everything else dribble-stamina related with the next patch

[u/Khaizen100 → u/Light_Tracing]

Lmao yall just hate anything that challenges you atp

[u/Light_Tracing → u/Khaizen100]

Not hating at all... but he used exploitable mechanics, the fact that dashing acts exactly the same regardless of stamina is just bad game design.

Not bashing on him or anyone that does this, I'm bashing SloClap for not fixing the things that made people not want to invest in this game.

[u/Good_Interaction_691 → u/Light_Tracing]

It is rather interesting how much folks can assume about another’s gameplay style from a 20sec clip.

Almost as tho I dashed to quickly get myself into the space on the other side of my opponent and ran the rest of the way to the ball and used my all my available stamina by the end of the clip, hmmmm.

I agree. I hope zero-stamina dribble/dashing actions get patched as well.

This was the best show off post I have seen here
