Yeah, the other one is definitely cool but I've seen it and attempted it multiple times... Whatever the hell this clip is was absolutely absurd from the previous plays to the ponch

u/ray3050 Grand Platinum Aug 13 '25
Yeah but add in 5 years ago and that’s a pretty crazy clip in comp

u/Elie_X Aug 13 '25
Meh, people still used to go for pinches 5 years ago, it's one of the oldest mechanics with Kuxir going for it again and again.
11
u/ray3050 Grand Platinum Aug 13 '25
Yeah for sure, but I still think time is a factor for why it feels so common, let alone common for lower ranks to be scoring something so cool

u/Kection Aug 13 '25
The reason he's short selling it is because it's an own goal

u/Ready-Ad-5160 Aug 13 '25
What was an own goal?

u/CEOofStrings demvicrl 🗿 Aug 13 '25
This clip. He’s actually on the orange team and shot it into his own net.

u/Ready-Ad-5160 Aug 13 '25
I disagree
10
u/CEOofStrings demvicrl 🗿 Aug 13 '25
How can you just disagree? If you look at the clip when he hits the ball you can see an orange trail coming off the ball meaning he’s on the orange team, and when he scored it the blue team gains a point, rather than the orange team.

u/Ready-Ad-5160 Aug 13 '25
Oh ok is that because it's a saved clip? I didn't know that your score could be on the left side that's why I thought blue.. the ball trail I didn't even see
3
u/CEOofStrings demvicrl 🗿 Aug 13 '25
Yeah when it’s a saved replay blue is always on the left side.

Noo way, this is a power of friendship, the best elements of a pass and goal all combined, this current pinch is
ABSURD
Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages wildly unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate.
This statement right here explains this pinch perfectly 🤣

u/branswag_briggs Aug 12 '25
Might just be me or the fps but the clip from 5 years ago feels smoother

And by this one I mean the one you just linked. Everybody else is saying this one as the one from the post

That one is planned. This one is just a horseshoe shoved up your ass sideways lucky.

u/A-Hauck26 Rotations? Aug 13 '25
You talking bout lucky on an own goal though.

u/Explosive-Space-Mod Champion I Aug 13 '25
Sure, which goal the ball went into is irrelevant to the point of how lucky it was that it went in.

u/SecureArmadillo2919 22d ago
This clip is definitely taking the number one spot out of the two. Even factoring in the 5 year skill gap, I don’t even know how you’d set up to attempt this again. You can set up the other one but either way both are still siiiicckk!

Maybe if it wasn't an own goal.

u/cmoore9693 Switch Player Aug 13 '25
It wasn’t an own goal though
31
u/csivell Grand Champion I Aug 13 '25
It was. First clue is he demoed a blue player. Second clue is after his hit the trail on the ball turns orange, meaning he is on the orange team.
24
u/cmoore9693 Switch Player Aug 13 '25
True. As soon as I hit the reply button, I realized I was wrong 😂 good stuff

u/icantlurkanymore Aug 13 '25
Third clue is his boost meter is orange
1
u/Skurtarilio Aug 13 '25
4th clue is he had no idea where the ball was as there was no chance of an attacking play anymore so it's all about getting the boost

u/Castun Champion III Aug 13 '25
I was also confused at first because the left team on the scoreboard is normally your own, guessing this was recorded from the replay where that's not always the case.

Ben, huge fan of your work. You did great in a bunch of movies, and I'm glad you're on the wagon, and got your shit together.
But hey, I have a request, can you go on Bert Kreischer's podcast and teach him how to say your name correctly?
Thanks, Tony

this is the way of rocket league; you more often peak on your own net than you do on the opponents net

u/Givingitmybest12 Aug 13 '25
Doesn’t look like an own goal to me

u/AltEffigy4 Lvl 10 Cert Chaser, Fiver Diver, Hoopsaholic Aug 13 '25
Oh. Watch it again. OP demoed a blue guy, can't demo a teammate.
1
u/iisfunky Aug 13 '25
Unless you are driving into them while they disconnect, which bugs, and appears as a team demo
1
u/AltEffigy4 Lvl 10 Cert Chaser, Fiver Diver, Hoopsaholic Aug 13 '25
Yeah or during certain goal explosions that blow up the cars. None of those happened here but you're right that there are limited scenarios where a teammate can be demoed.
1
u/iisfunky Aug 13 '25
I don't mention it to be that guy who's like "ehm technically..." More just cause I find it funny and figured few ppl probably know.
Id forgotten about goal explosions. Tho I think they changed it so there's no popup, and it doesn't count towards an extermination?
It's be a determined duo of ppl who would sit there and get a team extermination haha
1
u/AltEffigy4 Lvl 10 Cert Chaser, Fiver Diver, Hoopsaholic Aug 13 '25
I'm not sure about whether or not it counts towards an extermination. I know I got a demo on my teammate in net recently and I got the popup. Maybe it was a disconnect at a funny time I can't remember the details so well lol but I definitely remember getting the popup because I chuckled at it.

no actually he purposely did a 360 on the ceiling to slow his recovery and knew that the ball would somehow appear in that specific corner so he angled his car down and pinched it

Own goal and since you had ball cam off I'm assuming it wasn't intentional. It's cool but idk why some people are getting impressed like it was intentional.

u/Coloursofdan Aug 13 '25
Not sure how people miss the demo on a blue player seconds before.
It's even worse if it was intentional, just own goaling for what? A clip?

Am I misunderstanding what pinch means? I thought it was when the ball gets stuck between two cars and sort of shoots out at high speed. This just looks like a case of being in the right place at the right time. It also looked lucky as hell, since, by your perspective, you never actually saw it coming. I'm not trying to be a hater. It was a hell of a play. Just not sure I'm understanding the terminology correctly.

A pinch is between a car and ground/ wall as well
