- "Rocket League?"
- Rocket League! Is this soccer?
It's not FIFA, but it's soccer though, right?
- My brother tried getting me to play it,
but I was just like, "It's soccer... with cars."
- (Finebros) Rocket League is a vehicle-based soccer or football game
where you use your rocket-powered car to score goals.
- That's such a weird objective.
- I don't think it would work in real life,
but I'll suspend my disbelief for this game. (laughs)
- (Finebros) Today you're going to be playing two three versus three matches
with random players online. - Exciting.
I've never played online really before.
- I want to do good, but I feel like this takes practice,
like you need practice to be good at this.
- All right, here we go.
- So the soccer ball in the middle, that's what my main goal is?
(engine revs) - There's the ball right there.
All right, the ball is gone.
- Oh! I missed.
- Wait, am I on-- okay, I'm on blue side.
- I'm blue, so I'm trying to get it into the orange!
- Gotta get that boost!
(engines rev) - All right, gotta reverse that.
Wait, no! (air horn blares)
Oh! That was me! Okay.
Hey, look at that, instant replay.
(laughing) I didn't even touch it.
All right, whatever. I'm winning.
- This is harder than it looks.
Oh. (ref blows whistle)
And they scored on us.
- I mean, I don't really have any idea what I'm doing,
to be honest.
- This game's so weird!
(spectators cheer) What is this?
Why am I on the ceiling?
- Hey! Is that us or no?
- (Finebros) No, the other team scored. (exhales sharply)
- Ooh, I got it, I got it.
(engines rev)
Oh! No.
- Okay, um... nope, that's not a button.
Okay. Ooh, I hit it! I hit it, I hit it.
(spectators cheer)
- Oh! (groans)
Okay, that was partially my fault. (ref blows whistle)
- This gets locked on.
Bro-- again?!
(air horn blares, spectators cheer)
SIDDARTH, bro, chill.
- I'm gonna play some hardcore offense right now.
- I'm just-- oh, and they scored on us again.
(laughs) (ref blows whistle)
My team is horrible.
- It looks good, it looks good, it looks good.
No, no, no! Defend! Defend! Defend!
DEFEND! (controller clatters)
Wait, did we get it this time? - (Finebros) Yeah.
- (relieved) Oh, all right, we got it. All right, my bad. Good [bleep].
- Okay. Ugh, he took the accelerate thing.
Let me hit it! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! That's us.
- You know what? Maybe I'll play defense.
I'm probably gonna be better at defense.
(engines rev)
There, I think I blocked it.
- I don't know how they're doing all these weird turns
and flips and stuff.
Maybe if I, like-- oh!
OH! You double-jump. Okay.
- And wait!
Oh! Oh, I scored! Let's go! (air horn blares)
I just got so hyped.
- I'm doing so bad.
Okay, get in the thing.
Oh, and these are real people I'm playing against.
They probably think I'm so bad.
- Wha? Yeah, let's go 100, baby!
Oh, no!
(air horn blares)
I'ma take that as an assist.
I put that forward pressure.
- Come on, dude. Really?
- I wish there was more to the game though.
It's really simple and it's just like you hitting a ball.
(spectators cheer)
Can you score please, my team? Thank you.
- Okay, we have two minutes left. I think we've got this.
- I feel like I got matched up against pros.
Like, look at these guys: teamwork, coordination.
My team's just like bumping into each other,
blowing each other up.
- (grumbling) No!
(to tune of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5) ♪ No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. ♪
Yes! Yes! I hit it!
- Let me get that.
Ooh, let's go, baby! Let's go!
Whassup, baby? (air horn blares)
REACTGAMES, we out here, representin'.
- Boost? Okay. Boost, boost, boost.
Yes! That's a goal. That's a goal.
Come on, that's a goal. That's a goal!
Woo!!! (laughs)
- Okay, here it goes. Now it's my time to shine, punk.
(engines rev) What?
Okay, I miss-- did you see that?
I think I just touched the ball and made it go a different place.
- One minute remaining? That's it?
But I haven't even made a goal yet. No!
- One minute remaining?
And... oh. (ref blows whistle)
Yeah, I don't think we're gonna win this one.
- I wanna help y'all out.
There we go! I made it go to the other side.
Hopefully they can do something with that.
- All I'm trying to do now is help out my team
because, really, there's nothing else I can--
Ooh! Okay, that's good.
Ooh! Ooh, come on. No-ho-ho!
(spectators cheer)
- Someone score, someone score.
(air horn blares) Me with the assist.
Oh, no, I scored it.
- I think we won. I think we won.
(startled) Wait, knock on wood! Knock on wood, okay.
(chuckles) We're good.
- Right there! Hit it, boys!
Noooo! No, man.
He missed! Aw, no! Oh my god.
Bro, [inaudible] is not clutch. Did you see how close that was?
- I'm out. I don't even wanna be in here.
I'm out. (laughs)
Well, we lost horribly.
Oh, I got a pirate hat!
- I got two goals.
- Okay, we won! Oh my god.
- So I'm the most valuable player.
Maybe it was just beginners luck. I don't know.
- Let's rematch. Let's rematch. More rematch. Come on, let's go.
- And I will vote "rematch".
- You know what? I am determined to win one now.
I am determined. Here we go.
- Let's go, baby. REACTGAMES is ready.
- This time, it's personal.
- I'm gonna do better this time.
I have faith in myself, and when you believe in yourself
that's all you really need.
(engines rev) - That's in, that's in.
(spectators cheer, ref blows whistle) All right, good start.
- Oh, I missed! (tires squeal)
No, don't score, please.
Okay, he sucks.
(tires squeal) I suck.
- Come on, team, we got this.
- Let's get that. Let's get that goal right now.
Right now. Ooh, that was close.
- Shoot! Why don't we have a goalie? (air horn blares)
You know what? I'm gonna be the goalie.
- Okay, now it's my time--
(breathless laughter)
I'm so bad!
- And-- okay, well, he scored on us, so...
It's a recurring theme. They tend to score on us.
Okay, here we go.
And that's a goal. Didn't even...
(spectators cheer, ref blows whistle) (heavy sigh)
- It's fine. We're fi-- NO! I'm gonna mess this up.
(air horn blares) Okay, I didn't touch it.
I don't want to be responsible.
- You know what? I'm gonna just step out of that goalie thing
for a second.
(engine revs) There we go!
Okay, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it!
No! Screw you, NIGHTFOX.
- Oh! Oh! Oh, my god.
- I'm gonna help. I'm gonna help.
(air horn blares) Ugh! I wanna make a goal.
- VICAAR8-- yes, VICAAR8.
(triumphantly) YES! I stole it. I stole it. I stole it!
Woo! Hah-ha, my goal.
- Like actually hitting the ball? That's the hardest part.
I didn't hit the ball.
(sucks air through teeth) Nope.
- All right, I think I've sorta got the hang of it.
There we go.
All right, the ball's-- (spectators cheer)
- (darkly) It was NIGHTPANDA.
- All right, good clear, good clear.
Oh, this is a goal. This is a goal.
BOOM! Goal. (ref blows whistle)
Uh, yes! Okay, we're winnin' this one.
- Let's go! Let's go!
Hit that boost! Hit that ba-- aww.
Aw.
(air horn blares)
- Just gotta get a little more offensive.
Like this? Like this?!
Oh, did I get it? Did I get it? Okay. (air horn blares)
- Look. There's three of them at our goal.
See, these people know how to use teamwork.
All right.
(engines rev)
Why did my teammate hit me? Why?
- They're not scoring another one on us.
Oh, that's a goal. That's a goal!
Boom! VICAAR8, my homie.
- I got this. This is all for me now.
Yeah!
Did that score? (air horn blares)
I scored one! I scored! I totally scored one!
(engines rev)
- Oh my god!
- Get one more goal.
Let's get one more goal to like-- like the dagger.
Let's hit 'em with the dagger.
- It's five to three and they only have 30 seconds.
I may not have made a goal, but at least I'm on the winning side.
Yes.
- My team just sucks.
(laughing) Oh my god!
(cracking up) I'm sorry. (ref blows whistle)
- No. Sh-- screw you, NIGHTPANDA!
(air horn blares)
You're a punk, NIGHTPANDA.
- Emotional. That was an emotional ride, if you guys saw that.
- We won. That's all that matters.
- Oh my god!
(crash)
(engines rev)
(gasps)
(ref blows whistle, spectators cheer)
(muffled) Oh my god!
Do you see that? That was crazy.
That was a lot of fun to play.
- This game is fricking-- like, it's fun. It's insane.
Especially, like, when you're about to get the goal
and you don't make it-- man, heartbreaking.
You're playing with my emotions.
- That was fun. That was really fun.
I wanna get good at that.
Like, I might go home and buy it on Steam.
- It makes it more fun when you're playing with other people.
- Definitely felt like a PC game, one that you'd play
with all your friends and stuff.
You'd all log in and be like, "Hey, NIGHTPANDA, get on.
We're gonna play some Rocket League."
Except no one wants to play with a night panda.
