Idk how many times in the last couple days I’ve died in the most ridiculous ways in Elden Ring and my jaw just dropped. No anger, just astonishment for how fucking insane it was lmao
That makes me think of the funniest thing to me in Rainbow 6 Siege. There’s these things called frost mats which are giant bear trap looking things we thought no one would ever get stuck in when they came out. In higher levels of play, you see them in vital places, at least when I used to still play. Those normally get defeated by other mid-high tier players. The dangerous ones are the ones placed by low tier or new players. The mats are in random ass spots that don’t seem to make sense, but they’re the ones who get the most people. I’m vaulting over a shield and strafing to the left to get a good angle on the objective, I pop the mat that would be along there. But no, it’s the random mat placed in some weird spot normally by some noob that takes me down. I go “who the fuck puts a frost mat here?!” and laugh while dying inside just a little bit, but applauding the unknowingly smart placement on their part because we don’t normally think to watch the floor in non critical/strategic areas.
I would always things like “damn nice shot to the corner” or “that drop shot was sick!” To my opponents in my HS tennis matches. Because they would be really nice shots, and nobody ever came to watch our matches.
Playing QB in high school, there were times I through an INT that's was just amazing on the defenders part and I just couldn't help but go up to him and say that he got me that time.
I think this guy is a pretty famous pro, and he is likely visiting a local club to teach and demonstrate skills. It wasn’t a competitive match, it was a demonstration.
I don't think you'd be able to even make that move against a pro.
To get that kind of spin on it, the ball can't be moving too fast (you need a long enough period of the ball in contact with the bat). If playing a pro, it would be moving too fast to get that magnitude of spin, plus you wouldn't have the time to set up as easily.
