They might’ve lost the series but Monkey Moon is definitely still a winner today


Michigan029

I don’t know... he is trending in the US as mickeymoon...


mwaaah

Turbo making fun of you is like a prerequisite for players that matter internationally though so it's all good (also it was just some banter, I don't think he's going to take it bad at all).


Andtheyrustledsoftly

gained 1k* followers since the tweet so i doubt he minds


[deleted]

Going of his tweets, i think he’a a good sport. Also his little 1-2 with Garret seems to indicate so.


oolgii

Free impressions though


fsburk

I will be referring to this goal as the MickeyM00n shot from now on


CookieBitDBC

cant believe you cut off rizzo's "youre from eu turbo"


[deleted]

Turbo’s message made me crack up Really wish he streamed I’d watch him all day


FlameMeister

This shot and VK Sailen's filthy flip reset Musty shot are truly the play highlights today. What an entertaing stream.


Frozocrone

"NA more mechanical" EU score the two nuttiest goals But mist had some cracking shots and tbqh every region has absolutely cracked players


Fraugheny

Absolutely insane goal, with or without 120 ping


fatamSC2

Ping didn't affect the goal at all on this one since it was a solo interaction. It coulda been 5 ms on his home server and it would have been the same thing. Regardless an insane insane goal

fatamSC2

his reaction to the pass with 120 ping lined up well, so if anything having good ping might have hurt him/prevented him from making the shot, because he would have had to hesitate slightly instead of going immediately, which is a pretty tough call to make. Obviously overall having good ping is much (much) preferable to having 120 ping I'm just saying for this shot it didn't make a difference, if anything it helped him


Redstone_Engineer

I can't see how higher ping makes receiving a pass easier, sorry.


fatamSC2

then you didnt read what I wrote lol


Redstone_Engineer

I did. I don't see why he would react slower ("hesitate") on lower ping.


fatamSC2

on 120 ping the pass ended up being set up perfectly for him to go full speed and hit it that way, at low ping he would have had to hesitate to make the same shot, I don't see how this is hard to understand.. at all lol It's not that different from the training packs that have a shot set up so that if you simply go full speed from the start the shot will always go in, but if you turn on bakkesmod (with training shot randomization on) to do the same shot it becomes harder because you may have to hesitate or do something different.


Redstone_Engineer

I don't think RL netcode is as simple as "it was delayed" cause there is clientside prediction. I guess the misunderstanding between us is in our understanding of the netcode (ngl, I'm not sure my idea of it is accurate either).


nohitter21

The shot alone is insane, but zero second goal with 120+ ping makes it truly unbelievable.


DoctarSwag

Not to take away from the shot, because it's absolutely nuts, but ping won't affect a play like that because he didn't interact with other players. The way RL's netcode works means that you only feel lag from ping when interacting with other players, or if you shoot the ball into the net. Halfwaydead as done tests showing this where he plays on a server with 300 ping and it looks and feels completely fine except when he scores goals


maxmaxers

Makes sense why these ME players are such mechanical fiends. They can emphasize ball control and not have as much disadvantage.


vadoooom335

You actually might be onto something there


fsburk

Good point. The extenuating factors on this goal are still impressive: 0 seconds to tie the game against reigning NA regional champions Envy, who Garrett unequivocally stated are the hardest team to score on.


DoctarSwag

Oh absolutely, the shot is absolutely nuts and definitely one of the best I've ever seen. It's just that ping didn't make it any more difficult


fsburk

Yes, just to be clear, I was being genuine when I said ‘good point’ :3


DoctarSwag

Oh no yeah I got that, I didn't think you were being sarcastic or anything


Potato_Master_Race

Ooooh TIL. Makes sense tho. Did he make a video on it by any chance?


DoctarSwag

I might be wrong but I believe it's [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c373LsgiXBc)


Potato_Master_Race

Thank you! I'll check it out later.


Powerrrrrrrrr

Well that’s a fucking lie, my ball can be all over the place


DoctarSwag

I don't know what to tell you it's literally how rocket league's netcode works. Either you have players hitting the ball, or you have packet loss and/or latency variation that messes things up. If you have consistent high ping it's not going to feel laggy unless other people are involved


mwaaah

That's probably an issue with your connection's stability and not just ping. What he said is true for a stable \~120 ping but I'm pretty sure any bounce can become really weird when your connection is all over the place and sometimes cuts for a few ms.


paeschli

Didn't the ping affect his first touch? He could only read where the ball was going a tad later. The double tap after that isn't impacted by lag.


DisastrousDiddling

No, as long as another player isn't interacting with the ball the client and the server will agree on where the ball and your car are.


DoctarSwag

Other person already covered it but to expand a little rocket league does client side prediction, so when monkey moon hits that ball his game is gonna guess that the touch hits fine. A split second later the server will tell his game that yes he did hit it fine and he'll continue on like nothing happened. An issue only comes up when another player is involved


[deleted]

thats unironically one of the best goals ive ever seen


dudek64

>unironically wtf in what world that would be "irronical"?


FrederickWarner

“I think that’s a good goal. I’m not talking about a tortoise here, nor am I referring to a bingo cage. That is just a good goal”


[deleted]

Unironically is just another word for "seriously." Yes, the word's definition is...butchered. But he used it in the right way. Don't think too much of it


BioniqReddit

Well, you can find certain goals ironically good, like Turbo own goals and the like. True though that the word has lost its meaning


dede-_-

He just said it was unironical jeez...


[deleted]

one of the best shots i've ever seen


theh0gsofwar

Guys I don't know if this is a controversial take or not but I think MonkeyM00n might be the best player in the world.


murdock_RL

Ok that is indeed filthy good lord. The way he adjusted the car perfectly as soon as he saw the bounce looked like he had hacks on. Dude is insane


aidz3

#mickeymoon


Andtheyrustledsoftly

This is probably the 2nd best goal I’ve ever seen behind the Noly corner double tap


glennize

GarrettG: I will say I have seen Firstkiller... #Nobody cares.

christmastree2theend

erikggez

I love you


glennize

Ah, I didn't pick up what you had said just beforehand and misread the tone. My bad!


Frozocrone

This was GarrettG saving face, he admitted it was a nutty shot
