Zen is the undisputed top player in Rocket League, but how much better is he actually then everyone else? I got 4 of the top rocket league freestylers to recreate his best moments throughout RLCS. Can they do it or is zen truly built different?

    You know zen is a legend when the best freestylers in the world cant recreate his shots. AND zen did these clips under serious amounts of pressure. These freestylers are doing this for 100 bucks.
  • Instead of just assigning scores according to what you saw and familiarity, I think you should use a harsher scoring system like a checklist, and you write down 3-5 elements (but still make the scoring system scale to out of 10) that make the shot, well, the shot, with each box checked equating to 2 points, and even if they are really close don't give them the point for not doing it correctly. Maybe an extra 1 point for getting the placement of the shot. Just so that the scoring system is consistent. | Example: Zen's first clip in this video 3 points worth each: - Two touches to the ceiling - Ball hits backboard - Flip into the ball 1 point worth (extra (?)): - placed in the general region of the original shot | This also gives the freestylers an opportunity to scrape for points if they're down and rely more on than perfect replication of specific things of the shot and makes the competition sort of fairer, but I do believe that for some shots the competition has to be fiercer, but some of these shots are meant to be difficult to replicate, just like Zen's clip 5 in this video. Just an idea.

    What would have been so cool is if you got Zen as the fourth guy and he tried to re-create his shots as well to see if he can pull it off
  • @GnuSnu
    The problem with these shots is that they are very situational, I reckon if you asked Zen to recreate them in freeplay he would also struggle
  • @enzobollo5556
    Why do they always give maktuf a low score than someone will do worse and striped is like “THATS A 6” after giving maktuf a 3
  • @PedroPascoaPedro
    Just think about it. He didn't even have unlimited boost. And he had people challenging. Insane
  • @redandsoulles132
    Shot #6 was especially hard because zen didn't pogo the ball to the backboard by himself it was actually a slight touch from the defender. So it was really hard to get this shot down but mad respect to everyone in the video. With a bit of practice they will get better.
  • This is actually a great video, and you should do a series maybe recreating other famous players/goals!!
  • @Godmusty
    THIS WAS INSANLY COOL TO WATCH KEEP IT UP AND U WILL GET HUGE😊😅
  • @JCut323
    You know what would be an interesting video. Give Zen 2 tries to recreate his own shot. The problem is the variables. Zen has mechanical momentum in-game and is able to get into a Zen-state. Bet he would struggle as well. Especially when some shots are adapting to the moment and not planned. Like the pogo to the double

    Josh is sick. His channel is also has very decent gameplay:D
  • @wezzytrezzy
    Hey striped, I’m a diamond freestyler on switch. I think I can impress you for a video. My peak is a triple reset musty double, I dare you!
  • @Chizinky
    Freestylers vs pros lookin mad tough
  • @zeddez9705
    Imagine Zen doing these in Tournaments and they're freestylers they cannot replicate him in a much more chilled atmosphere. Zen is really a GOAT!
