This is the fourth video in my rank up guide series which aims to provide tips and advice for every Rocket League rank in order to get you where you want to be - at the top (in Grand Champion and Supersonic Legend). This video is for slightly experienced platinum players who have a grasp of the core areas of the game but still need to work on mechanics, offence, defence and their mental approach. I offer guidance on which skills and abilities you should practice, and ways to continue working towards mastering them - there are lots of things you need to improve at this rank before moving up. By starting to implement and improve in the points discussed you will see yourself develop as a player and raise your own skill ceiling.

Very impressive great video, you really covered it in depth, shadow defense is so hard for me espicially when turning back I get too commented or too far that my opponents fling a powershot straight in

[locke_ytb]

Thanks.
Doing it in casual matches is a good idea. I forgot about casual. 😅

[mahikannakiham]

I feel like shadow defense develops instinctively. I never needed a video for it but I didn't know the term so that's why I watched it.

[xavibolt]
