If they make it ranked they shouldn't have a "lives" system in a FFA. Have a score: 2 points for getting a knockout, -1 for getting knocked out, -3 for knocking yourself out (otherwise you could deny other players knockouts?). This is how it works in fighting games where hits build up knockback, not entirely sure if it should function the same here, but seems like a better starting point than lives. Or everyone is just smart and targets the person with most lives left.

Today I learned Leth does not put shopping carts back in the parking lot.

Sometimes when I play this game mode I see people just running around the map the whole time, just avoiding everything. I don’t know how they can play like that cause going full speed and ramming people into the horizon and chucking people into the void, purely fragging out is just so damn fun. Maybe not winning every time but getting 1000 pts and 8+ ko’s is more fun to winning with 1 ko and 150 pts.

I could literally watch people play this for hours, watching you throw/counter people into oblivion was so funny sometimes!

I was never going to try out this game mode but you know what, for you Sunless, I will.

I'm actually really glad you made this video.. I am completely terrible at Knock Out so this acted as a tutorial video as well as being carried by your sarcastic and entertaining humor. I hope I only lose 8 out of 10 games now. Thanks Sunless!!!

Great video! I'm loving knockout also! I wish they'd give us multiflag CTF, or another objective type game mode with the new map approach. These new mechanics in soccar or hoops would be crazy! Imagine where there is an out of bounds for players but a containing boundary for the ball to keep it in play. you can grab the ball for a few seconds but you are vulnerable to attacks. Lots of potential

one of the best moves is to act like your about to grab but at the verhy last moment you block .

Now we need a mode where we can race other players!

This game mode is all about outthinking the opponent if you throw a bunch people will attack, if you attack a bunch people will block. If you block a bunch say hello to the ground. So this game mode is all about conditioning the other players into thinking you will do something and then doing something else all while reading what the other players are doing. It's so much fun.

Yes you can predict humans very easily but when you are trying to predict a human who knows that you will try to predict him, it becomes significantly harder. Like a rock paper scissors game, if you note down the number of times you won a "tackle", and the total number of "tackles", their ratio or the empirical probability will come closer and closer to 1:3 the more times you do it. You may try to predict but if you really note down your observations, your predictions will work close to one out of three times which is the expected win ratio anyways.

I often play with friends but don't give a shit and focus on each other early in the game. When I get queued with guys who team up, I often go early for them next match just so they don't get to play.

I really love the fighting mechanics, some kind of team involvement with this game modes mechanics could be really cool

THIS GAMEMODE SHOULD 100% BE PERMANENT

Hide on wall 10/10 strategy

The throwing part and the video 😹😹😹😹

I had a guy with 15 grabs win. He had like 10 damage. Now I just look for the grabbers and show them that attack mains are superior. Edge guarding is a lot more satisfying lol.

Yo Sunless, what's the song called that starts at 6:49?

There is a ton of strategy in this, you can perform unblockable attacks in certain situations and get unbelievable aerial recoveries from out of zone. Also has any else felt how akward wave dash chains are in this mode? xD

Damn Sunless, killer content bro 🤙🏼

Sunless. Straight up spittin'

This mode is too good to be limited. I wished it was permament, ranked would be even better. I just feel it needs droping power ups that you could catch time to time for more objectives in game.

The whole teaming up ruins it for me IMO, for any casual player that just wants to get some of the rewards which includs "win a game of knockout" you have to get very lucky to be in a solo q only lobby and even then it's hard, but any team lobby is instant gg. Very unfortunate way to ruin a good concept; I guess we want to punish people that have decided to keep playing casually over quitting.

The mechanics of this gamemode aren't described clearly in-game and it's currently a busy period for most uni students so I find it stupid to run into teams 3 out of the 5 games that I'm trying to win knowing I'll have to spend more time than I want to get some wheels I'd like to have. I can definitely make time & easily grind these rewards, but the point is that I'm a casual player by decision and being limited by random 3 stacks teaming up totally ruins my experience. I'd grind this stuff and maybe even the game itself over summer, but right now is just bad timing. Worst part is that i mainly play unranked since I'm a casual player so my unranked MMR is decent enough (1800-ish) to run into people with at least basic mechanics and gamesense so chances of winning are lowered as well.

I play on pc with an controller and i can see controller buttons. Its not even an original xbox controller yet it still works. However change the grab button to accelerate and the break stun to boost and this game mode is easier. You will maybe notice that at the beginning attack is the most favorable. Mid game its grab. End game its attack and block because of the insta kill zone. Try to use air rolls and jumps before you use all your boost because without boost you die easier above the canyon. Try using rolls instead of boost while accelerating from far away because your rolls reset instantly when you touch the ground.

one of my favorite things to do is you jump, flip towards someone, keep flipping, they stay still for some reason, and you get a heavy attack ko. they just dont know what to do

people used to counter my throws straight down until i just boosted straight down with them and threw so there’s literally nothing u can do it’s basically an instant KO then just turn around and fly back up before dying with them

1:14 : Thank you so much! I didn't know that

Flip cancelling is really important when you are near the wall w/o any boost

Me and my friends have terrible car control but because of all the boost and flips, it's still very possible to win games if your smart. I love this mode. Only thing that's annoying is the way lock on never works like it should.

Sick vid as always Sunless!!

my favorite thing is just completly breaking ankels of the throw mains by just suddenly stoping and watching them fly off into the sunset

Classic Sunless 1 liner to end the video, and then I lost my next 8 ranked games.

“I’m a god at this game” Falls of and dies”

sunless "You guys know what we do to throwers." Me: You put the shopping cart back

Every time I try to throw someone into the abyss, (or spikes), I seem to lose momentum and just lightly toss them back into the arena. :D I really need to work on that

You broke me with that last ten seconds

My mates: "I was starting to see the appeal of throwing!"

this should be permanently in the extra modes or casual playlists. Thiswas so fun

eyy nice video Sunless!

I keep imagining a fading Link scream as the cars fade into the background. This gives me Smash Bros vibes and I like it! xD

Holy cow this looks addicting. And I’m behind on making a video about it! I can’t wait to try it out.

You know people will bind a mouse wheel to the recovery but and fling it for lightning fast recoveries like they have with wall dashes

Great vid, ty!

I agree with this video 100%. It felt like rocket league and smash bros got combined. If you think about it, they both have a stage, they both have a dodge thing with a bubble, then you can grab the person using dodge for example, you can also spike people out of the map, there's instant death mode at 6 minutes in as if smash bros was at 300% health on overtime. Even the way you get back on the stage is like smash bros and using the special abilities to fly back to the edge of the stage

These videos makes our days better

yeesh that drop at 6:10 got me hype

When this first came out, it only took hours until my buddy and I were spiking people down into the Oblivion. Fun as fuck game.

Would love to see them add this too extra modes and let fans make the maps each season, a couple devs pick a fan made map and we vote for the ones we want each season. Would be awesome way to stay engaged with the community.

Straight up didn't know there was block or attack......so glad I watched lol

this mode has some real potential to become an extra playlist permanent ranked mode with some tweaks, finally something new and fresh in rocket league, seems like forever since we got something new, hopefully they decide to make this permanent, really enjoyed my time with this mode so far.

I played this mode for all of 30 seconds. Had a guy just throw me directly into the grid twice and that was enough for me.

I'm supposed to be Plat 2 in 3's but because it was the first competitive playlist, I did it as soon as I got Rocket League

Love knockout! Really creative switch of pace. Also, imo I feel like it helps with car control

I love how this mode has been out for like 3 days and sunless has already made a whole meta to this game mode. That’s why you get my love sunny boy ☀️ 💛🖤

This new game mode is amazing. It's really fun when you know what your doing.

Fun little tricks to keep on mind for being actually meta. Stationary (or slow) attacks combo into grabs or a faster attack You can't grab after a throw release BUT you CAN attack after a "weak" throw. Throwing slowly into a heavy is an actual 50-50 . If you wish to edge guard, do NOT forget that jump does let you grab and spinning into a side flip has some decent power for quick "oh shit" mix. Reminder but again, being behind someone means they CAN'T attack you nor grab you, they'd have to turn but they can block you. Grab the saiyen's tail or slap his face is good rule of thumb. Extra tip: want to kill someone hiding on a wall? Fly by and grab them with an angled double jump into a side flick, bam, fuck you camper.

Ngl knockout bash really makes me have a good time and not frustrated because I don’t have to deal with the ball anymore😂
