    This is why I really enjoy the existence of TAS communities. I’m totally cool and really love seeing crazy stuff done, as long as it is directly stated that it is using external tools.
  • @chubbbyninja
    I’ve always wanted to see when someone’s confronted about cheating they just immediately say something like ‘alright you got me lol’
  • I'd be terrified of cheating in any game now a days for fear Karl makes a banger of a video out of me.
  • @1Chitus
    I love how Karl not only investigates cheating, but also spends time in the communities to get a better understanding of how the players are. True professional.
  • @NYTROUS
    The editing and explanations in this video were perfect, happy to help!
  • Thankfully the rocket league competitive and professional scene has not seen any cheating yet. There are simply no cheats or AI smart enough that would help in a competitive environment. It's one of the reasons why I've had so much fun with it, compared to games like CS:GO where once you get high enough, you are bound to run into cheaters.
  • @Ben-kz2km
    As someone who played only a few hours of Rocket League, I've always wondered what high level game play and ball control would look like. It's cool to see this level of proficiency. The whole freestyle scene is amazing, there's really no need to cheat.
  • @stanz47
    There was also one other thing he hacked you didn’t mention: the camera. In his replays he would modify the camera, so he’d hit a normal freestyle and then in replay turn on the reverse camera to create an insane shot.
  • @JoshJoshua64
    Man that's crazy. Lots of work put into that cheating which is almost impressive in itself lmao
  • ive been playing rocket league for years and im very impressed at the research you did. You got all the terminology correct and clearly went through a lot of effort to make sure you did it right
  • I remember casually playing this right when it came out. Took a break for a year or two and when I came back, the average skill level of the competition was so freaking impressive I couldn’t keep up lol.
  • @brennanator
    I play RL a lot and I would just like to point out the amount of depth and research that he puts into games he covers so he isn’t disrespectful and understands the topic completely. Incredible job.
  • @rstewa35
    I’m not condoning his actions obviously but it’s impressive as hell how well he was able to modify those replay files. I would have never noticed.
  • @Drayiss
    You know, if it weren’t for the fact that he was trying to pass the videos off as real, I wouldn’t mind them. Modifying a game and producing visually crazy videos just for the heck of it can be super fun! It’s a shame that it was an attempt to fool the community who puts in the commitment to achieve their own great plays
  • @Ashtarte3D
    I love that subtle jab at Billy Mitchell where you don't even have to name him and we all know what you're talking about.
  • When I watched the video, I thought "well that's quite obvious, how did he cover that up for almost a year?" Then I realise it's just Karl doing a superb job in explaining things clearly.
  • @CaptainCurtle
    Just a note about the "real-time" cheating. There's been some recent video evidence of players toggling a bot to auto-hunt demos with inhuman precision. So there's baby steps happening in competitive cheating
  • Its truly impressive when you can clearly see the love,and thoroughness put into these videos! Its so well done, it will capture an audience that doesn't even know anything about the game initially, and conclude with a solid understanding of the topic. Very well done!!! I look forward to your continued success!
  • @matt.2708
    The thing with Shimmy is lots of people could easily tell his freestyles were fake, especially him finding random power from weak shots
