The content creator tracked down Rocket League players who boasted about their mechanical skills in online comments and invited them to a private match to prove their claims. The players, ranging from Platinum to Gold ranks, were asked to perform specific mechanics such as speed flips, flip resets, and air dribbles. However, most of them failed to deliver, with some not even coming close to executing the moves they claimed they could do.
