That was really unexpected 😆 Happy that u liked the map, that really helps out mappers keep mapping. For the start line, yeaaah i was kinda sad when i saw Sake drifting before first grass for a better setup/speed but thats a lesson for the future 😎
@@djabski-tm What he is talking about with pro players complaining about taking risky lines, that is all self inflicted by the player. Obviously you are going to push a map beyond normal limits to get division 1 or WR. Yes you can check for alternative shortcuts/routes to adjust, but a player being able to take different lines is not necessarily a bad thing. In my opinion it makes a track even better when speedrunning it has different lines and small optimizations over a basic gold medal run. High skill celling is what makes a lot of tracks legendary.
@@QuadAAyou have a point, but they are mostly talking about when a map has 1 ultra risky section that can seem random. its not fun to be able to play an entire track quickly and throw it all away every attempt because 1 section is too hard. that is often factored in with people's opinions of the map, even though it's not what the mapper intended
wow i cant believe my map made it into your video!!! (map 2) thank you so much for playing it, giving advice and showcasing it to the world! I cant wait to build more... Unfortunately, I cannot allow you to hold world record on my map, so I respectably took it back :D
@@Chizypuff thanks! I have around 600 hours in game and it took me around 10 hours to build the map. Half was spent working on the route and the other half was spent placing a million rock assets for scenery lol. I haven’t gotten the itch to work on another track yet but I hope I do soon
Blueberry! I've been watching you for a few months now - I believe almost a year. But I just didn't have time IRL to start a new game, so I waited until when the time was right. I don't play that often nor that much, but even just a few hours of experience made me look at you from a completely different way. Thanks for introducing to me this beauty!
I started on TMNF, then played Stadium 2, and now 2020. Honestly seeing those speed checks just brought back all the nightmares of playing the FS servers on TMNF and Stadium 2. It's really nice to have tracks now that give you time to think and plan your route as you're driving. Though even though I've been playing for many years I am not great at the game and still can't understand speed slides. Also I'm a FS only player so that's limited me a lot and I haven't been able to play things like RMS or Bingo since my only skill is press forward and pray. I'm just not a fan of slowing down to turn.
The quiet game audio kind of threw me off the entire time I won't lie lol. On a side note I love these off stream productions. Different type of quality and I love it.
Blueberry here! (Which is quite funny, that's also what we call new players in Destiny 2, the game I play the most). I have about 30 hours in Trackmania so far, spent almost entirely in the Royal game mode with 2 friends of mine. My biggest gripe with the game so far is all these little tricks that SEEM like bugs to a new player like me. Bug slides, speed slides, whatever the heck a quantum slide is that you said on that cup-of-the-day-like map lol. When going straight with full traction is slower than turning and sliding, that's just strange to me. Feels like to get faster, I now have to look up what tricks are used and where they're put, then look up how the heck to even do said tricks.
17:30 - I played a lot in TMNF on FULLSPEED server. There were speedchecks like this one every checkpoint (4 to even 8 a map), losing there even 5 km/h was enough to be unable to continue the map and forced player to restart
Blueberry! Got interested because of your vids on trackmania record history, and got really interested seeing you and the community having so much fun with it on this channel. Still super rough at the game atm but getting better! You talking through why you drive / play in certain ways like you did in this video has helped a lot!
Blueberry, just found your channel a month ago and started playing TrackMania again. I played very casually almost 20 years ago when I got the game as a promo with the purchase of a graphics card including some old school “3d glasses”. If you remember the once with a red eye and a green or blue one. Pushing 40 years of age and just picking up this wonderful game again. Thanks for the content.
Blueberry - I actually started today after watching you for over a year :D I golded all the practice maps almost in a row just from seeing you play and explain how terrain works etc :D
Blueberry! Literally picked the game up last night, I've seen a fair share of your content for the last couple weeks and I've know you as the "Trackmania documentary guy" for a few years now 🤣 I'm having a blast playing and trying the things I know are possible to do with the car without any advices, not a single AT so far.
i really love these kind of videos. really simple, lots of room for wirtual to speak about the game. it feels more personal like watching live on twitch :)
16:35 for some of the less experienced viewers, here's some extra trivia: it's not because of what he says, it's the banking angle and jump direction as well. If you exit from the right side with a wiggle to the left, not only do you, in this scenario, reduce airtime by jumping diagonally, but also by exiting with downwards momentum, as you go from a higher point (right bank) to a lower point (middle of the block). It's the same reason why the previous WR showcased at 18:52 ends up with more speed upon the quarterpipe transition. You reduce airtime by diminishing travel time, as well as getting a cleaner landing which allows carrying more speed by providing more acceleration time and less wonkiness.
Blueberry Granted I have been getting so frustrated with myself on PB runs messing up very basic turns but the serotonin given for finally getting it as well as beating some author times is incredible. A very love/hate relationship with the game so far!
Blueberry-ish! Had TMUF for almost a year but hardly touched it, then I came across your channel last week and it's ignited a newfound appreciation for this awesome game.
Blueberry - i actually started playing just 3 days ago! I've been your viewer for quite some time now, probably about 3 years. This channel is also how I discovered Trackmania! Love it and i'll hopefully Upgrade to Club version soon!
I've been playing like 20 mins every few months but recently I've been playing a lot more and even bought the club access for a year and play it almost 5 times a week now for sometimes a few hours! Wirtual has helped me become more interested and enthusiastic about playing trackmania!
Blueberry. I found you one time in my recommended, and it was about the history of a map i think, and i loved the game instantly. I have played TMNF for about a week now, and i am planning on getting TM 2020. Thanks for being cool youtuber to watch 😊
Blueberry. I’ve been a viewer of the channel for a long time, and my first day playing Trackmania was the second day of this current ongoing campaign as of April 22nd, 2024. I have 4 more author medals to go! Lol but I did take a break from this campaign and went to try out other campaigns to get a good idea of other mapping styles. I think ice slides and drifts are the two things I need to work on the most. I find myself constantly misjudging when to start and stop them or when to hold accelerate during a drift and whatnot.
yooo, we just started 3 days apart, i started on the last day of the campaign that came before this one, it was funny cause i played like 30 minutes of the campaign trying to understand the game and then stoped for the day and then when i came back next day it was a totally diferent campaign and i was really confused
@@Tilt_TM Yeah I still just don’t comprehend. It’s hard to explain, but there are some things I need a combination of multiple learning styles to understand. Like I can visually watch somebody on Bobsleigh and I’m set. Don’t need anything else but a watch. Drifting? No matter how many times I watch people drift, I feel like I can’t fully comprehend it. I’m sure I’ll get it eventually! I’ve been practicing on whatever green map has two drifts into the big grass section into the uphill finish, and I’ve been getting those drifts a lot better. The “nearly” full speed red map with the drifts and the ending wood section is still kicking my ass drift-wise.
I am loving the new content direction, not necessarily the fact that it's off stream but casual hunting, playing fun things and especially highlighting other community events. 10/10
Long time viewer, first time blueberry here. Started with a free account in the Autumn 2023 campaign and finally bought a membership this campaign. Your videos have taught me a lot about thinking about your lines and how the physics can work. Thanks, Wirtual.
Man coming back to the TM community from time to time fells so good. I am unironically in awe with the non-toxic, chill environment of people playing and nerding out about a free and innocent game.
I had dabbled in playing before because I would watch your main channel videos but in the last 3 or so months I have probably logged 100 hours or so. Really enjoying improving my own times and learning new tricks to move up leaderboards. Have a top 100 time on Summer 05 which was rewarding.
I used to play TMMF with my dad way back when I was probably 6-8 years old. I didint really under stand how to properly play the game but I always had fun. Eventually I left it behind and kinda grew up. But then one day (12 years later), UA-cam recommends me a video by “Wirtual”… I honestly don’t think I’ve enjoyed content as much as this in a long time. I’ve recently started playing Track mania again, not only 2020 but revisiting TMNF and imagining playing with my dad again. To say the least, thank you for everything you have done for the Track mania Community :) 🏎️
15:18 "Checkpoints were cut prevention" that's what Nadeo's campaign tracks in tm2020 feels like, they just pack maps full of checkpoints: in the middle of turns, immediately before hard to aim jumps, etcetera. Placing checkpoints that easily result in you not being able to complete the map without a hard reset
I just started playing 2 weeks ago because of your videos. I never watched or had any thought of playing this game and I just kept seeing your shorts and eventually started watching your videos. 3 weeks later i downloaded the game.
8:50 blueberry!!! Bought the club pass and started playing this week actually, haha. I've been watching your vids for a couple years now. I've had the game for a while but never felt like it was something I'd have the time or dedication to get into. Not sure what changed, but its a funny coincidence.
Blueberry. I won’t lie, I’ve been watching this channel for a little over a year and I probably watched everything from old videos from TMNF records and the TM 2020 content. I love it and I only downloaded the game last year, and it’s a lot of fun. Thank you Wirtual for showing me the path to this game. (My English is bad)
Blueberry! Hello Wirtual! I've been watching your content for a bit over a year now (probably) and I have NEVER played Trackmania until two days ago. I wasn't sure if I'd even like it, I haven't played any racing games since I was a kid, and I never did much speedrunning/time attack type gameplay in general. But, you always made the game look interesting so I gave it a try. I'm playing the free edition and my first goal was to get gold medals on every training course. That turned out to be pretty easy, but author medals were a LOT harder. I only got two so far, but I'm still happy with that result. Even these training courses that are less than 10 seconds long feel like they're teaching me a ton about how the car controls, how to carry speed, racing lines, etc. I'm having a lot of fun with it!
Blueberry, started last week and it’s 10/16/24 happy to have found this community, and your channel! Might make my first map here soon, I feel like I’ve been doing pretty good for a blueberry, chasin some author medals currently but have no idea the ins and outs of the game just yet :)
Hello Wirtual, I have been playing Trackmania for 2 months because of you. I already knew the game but I don't play very many games, but because you videos came on my for you page I started to give it a try.
Blueberry ... kind of. I played it when I was a literal child in the early 2000s, quit until 2020 when I played for a week, and then started again about a month ago. But I've been watching actively since 2020.
Blueberry here! I had played summer 2020 campaign for like 5 hours, but I started doing COTD and random online lobbies recently. Started playing after seeing your offline video series, showed me there's more than just the campaign and div 1. I feel like I've been improving pretty quick but it's TOUGH. Very fun to get author times, and the plugins make things very satisfying too. I love stats so having all those is probably what has kept me around.
Blueberry! I guess. Technically. I played TMNF a million years ago, for like a couple months, but did not find the greater Trackmania community and so only had the tracks the game came with, which were fun and all but did not hold my attention. And then I started watching your videos back during the blindfold era, and _finally_ decided it was time to install TM2020 3 days ago, and I've been working on the seasonal campaign author medals since. It's been a lot of fun, but I do wish there was a bit more "beginner guides to getting started in Trackmania" out there, because I've picked up on a lot of stuff from watching your content which has helped _a lot_ which would be nearly impossible to have learned on the fly, and I'm sure there's still a lot I'm missing only just getting started in the game now.
I don't care what anyone says, regardless of whether this is "just a videogame", performing with such consistency is definitely a Wirtual level of skill. Gotta love the head tilting when he's going for #1!
Hello Wirtual, i started watching ur content maybe around 6 months ago. I remember playing trackmania waaaay back when, in like 2013, playing on online servers. I installed the game recently and played a little bit on the campaign, chasing the Author medals. But after getting frustrated at my own skill at driving and learning i quit again shortly after not being able to complete the Author medals on the later maps of the campaign (especially ice). I was actually gonna record and document my whole journey of the campaign as a total new player but i never did anything of the footage Anyway, i might dabble again here and there but for now i label myself too bad even as a complete starter by my own standards.
I'm 38 y/o and have watched vicariously through friends and UA-cam channels what Trackmania is. I'm excited to actually give it a try after I get through some of my other games I've never played on Steam. Wirtuals content makes me want to dive in even more so. I will be fully immersing myself very soon in this great game.
blueberry I've been watching you for a year or so, just picked it up the day spring 2024 season started. I'm having a blast. My 6 year old son has been playing the training maps and loves them.
I'm a blueberry that doesnt have club plus, so I can't play all of the campaign, but I actually have all author times from spring 01 to spring 10, thank you for showing me this game, and about how "then, Halfest got this run". Love the videos!❤
"blueberry" i started playing mostly because i saw the video karl jobst made about trackmania, and went to look for the concurrent video you did with him. idk what it was abt it (since i never play racing games) but i was so enamored with how you played that i started playing for myself
when he said “so many of my viewers aren’t subscribed” i was like “well that’s dumb if they’re recurring viewers” and then i realized I myself have not subscribed somehow. i’m the problem
Blueberry - I used to play years back, not much, but I quit ages ago and I recently saw your deep dip videos when you first released them (one randomly got recommended to me) so I started playing again. Really enjoying it, the game has come a long way since I last played
I'm a blueberry and a recent subscriber! I saw your video on Deep Dip and i was hooked. A few days later i hopped in, and i can see how you would play this game for years and still have fun!
Blueberry - dabbled a bit with the winter campaign and I'm hunting my last gold medal in the spring campaign (24 is killing me). After that I'm hoping I can improve my 17 author medals to 20, although there's no chance I'm going to hit author times on the last couple of tracks. Love your videos! Thanks for all the great content, I've learned a lot
I have never played Trackmania in my life, nor intend to do so, I just love your videos! So I'll keep watching Trackmania as long as you keep making Trackmania videos.
Blueberry . I like "Watching the funny man drive his tiny cars" and tried the game. Mind you, I'm 56 and a grumpy old man. Damn you funny man with your tiny cars, I'm hooked on Trackmania. Now I'm a very grumpy but happier old man and I love driving tiny cars now too.
Bro literally got skill issue and gave the map a 7.5. That map was hard and almost everyone here would never get that author medal, but... its a hard map, just that, not a bad map because its hard. That map was insanely beautiful with not that much of scenery. 9.5/10 and I'm being conservative.
When I tried my hand at map making years ago, I liked to try to make tracks with an easy and hard route. A player could complete the map taking an easier route so beginners could still enjoy it but there would also be harder routes which would save time if you got them right.
Big jumps are cool, but you can’t really do much in the air, so jumps are basically forced breaks while you wait for your car to come back down. That probably explains why new players make them but experienced players don’t.
So I started playing trackmania right after Christmas 2023 and so far I have managed to get several top 10 results in washington state. I have also managed to get a number 1 in washington state on track 14 of the winter 2024 campaign, which was just over 60th in the world. I think I'm doing pretty good but what do you guys think?
Blueberry! Just picked it up a couple days ago, I'm just reaching the point where your skill level suddenly drops and you die inside, but it's because you're starting to actually understand the game not just perform automatically
Dude I literally installed trackmania on my Xbox yesterday just because i saw you on deep dip 2 and I've already got the medal after gold on like 5 maps on the career mode so thanks for getting me into it dude!
The only thing I don't like about Trackmania is how they made the campaign maps medal-unlockable. I play just for fun and I liked playing the hard maps even tho I wasn't fast at them. Now I have to grind to Gold in EVERY previous map to unlock them and it's not worth the effort. If they really wanna make it more competitive, they should keep all the campaign maps playable by anyone but make the leaderboard eligibility medal-unlockable. So casual players can still play every map and competitive players who like the challenge and care about leaderboards can still grind for the medals and have it mean smth.
Blueberry Only found this because of your entry into deep dip 2. Caught it pretty early and was very much enjoying. Totally understand your stepping out. I almost can’t watch anymore either. The falls are too painful.
blueberry! technically i started playing trackmania in like 2018 with trackmania turbo but i have literally no memory of it i installed this version of trackmania while you were trying to clear floor 4 of deep dip 2 and i bought club access 1 hour later as soon as i got club i started doing fullspeed practice maps. i dont quite understand how the cakes work but getting the perfect speed slide was fun i think out of all the "map styles" my favourites are wood and fullspeed. wood feels really fun to play and bigger numbers and more speed = more fun the one complaint i have is that a lot of the custom tracks i've seen just assume i know how to do stuff like dirt speed slides and ice slides. also i hate engine offs with a burning passion
Im very much a blueberry, downloaded the game last night on Xbox and did a few training maps, i had been debating on trying the game or not but watching your content really made me want to try it and on the first couple of maps I’ve already had a lot of fun, it’s refreshing to actually use my brain in a game for once instead of the brain dead point and shoot fps games i usually play, it’s really fun trying to find ways to go faster or just improve my technique a little to get better times. Love the content man, keep up the good work, and i thank you for inspiring me to try something new
Blueberry...I've been watching your main channel a few years here and there and suddenly I realized...why am I not playing a free to play game? lol and I love it.
That was really unexpected 😆 Happy that u liked the map, that really helps out mappers keep mapping.
For the start line, yeaaah i was kinda sad when i saw Sake drifting before first grass for a better setup/speed but thats a lesson for the future 😎
Don't think the neo saved much though, akul was pretty close w/o it

He cannot help himself with the analogies, mapping is like writing a song, cooking a lasagne, and building a sand castle
but it is.
im boutta start writing a lasagne, cooking a sand castle and building a song
It wouldnt be like driving a track to get a world record otherwise.
This video just seems like he came up with a lot of analogies one day and decided to use them all
@@WirtualTV someone should make you a level made out of lasagna and sandcastles with musical elements.

Another blueberry
Blueberry I play it 2 monts
Because they all are bugs, but players liked them, and so Nadeo has kept them.
It is the "It is a feature, not a bug!" mentality.
blueberry since 20 days :D
Can confirm that fs tracks on TMNF servers have not changed a bit and it is still guaranteed multiple jump scares before you figure out the route.

I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. And even then, I had to watch it several times before I saw the timer skip a minute.
At 23:20 as well, not as smooth, but still had to rewatch it to double check.

Man coming back to the TM community from time to time fells so good. I am unironically in awe with the non-toxic, chill environment of people playing and nerding out about a free and innocent game.
I had dabbled in playing before because I would watch your main channel videos but in the last 3 or so months I have probably logged 100 hours or so. Really enjoying improving my own times and learning new tricks to move up leaderboards. Have a top 100 time on Summer 05 which was rewarding.
I used to play TMMF with my dad way back when I was probably 6-8 years old. I didint really under stand how to properly play the game but I always had fun. Eventually I left it behind and kinda grew up. But then one day (12 years later), UA-cam recommends me a video by “Wirtual”… I honestly don’t think I’ve enjoyed content as much as this in a long time. I’ve recently started playing Track mania again, not only 2020 but revisiting TMNF and imagining playing with my dad again. To say the least, thank you for everything you have done for the Track mania Community :) 🏎️
haven’t started playing yet, but i’ve been binge watching your documentaries and will have to give it a go some day
I would play but I don't want the Ubisoft installer on my computer.
15:18 "Checkpoints were cut prevention" that's what Nadeo's campaign tracks in tm2020 feels like, they just pack maps full of checkpoints: in the middle of turns, immediately before hard to aim jumps, etcetera. Placing checkpoints that easily result in you not being able to complete the map without a hard reset
I just started playing 2 weeks ago because of your videos. I never watched or had any thought of playing this game and I just kept seeing your shorts and eventually started watching your videos. 3 weeks later i downloaded the game.
8:50 blueberry!!!
Bought the club pass and started playing this week actually, haha.
I've been watching your vids for a couple years now. I've had the game for a while but never felt like it was something I'd have the time or dedication to get into.
Not sure what changed, but its a funny coincidence.

Blueberry.
I won’t lie, I’ve been watching this channel for a little over a year and I probably watched everything from old videos from TMNF records and the TM 2020 content. I love it and I only downloaded the game last year, and it’s a lot of fun. Thank you Wirtual for showing me the path to this game. (My English is bad)
Your English is great actually!
i lowkey hate it when people type in perfect english and then end with "( excuse my bad english )''
Welcome to the game none the less brotha :D
Blueberry! Hello Wirtual! I've been watching your content for a bit over a year now (probably) and I have NEVER played Trackmania until two days ago. I wasn't sure if I'd even like it, I haven't played any racing games since I was a kid, and I never did much speedrunning/time attack type gameplay in general. But, you always made the game look interesting so I gave it a try. I'm playing the free edition and my first goal was to get gold medals on every training course. That turned out to be pretty easy, but author medals were a LOT harder. I only got two so far, but I'm still happy with that result. Even these training courses that are less than 10 seconds long feel like they're teaching me a ton about how the car controls, how to carry speed, racing lines, etc. I'm having a lot of fun with it!
Blueberry, started last week and it’s 10/16/24 happy to have found this community, and your channel! Might make my first map here soon, I feel like I’ve been doing pretty good for a blueberry, chasin some author medals currently but have no idea the ins and outs of the game just yet :)
Hello Wirtual, I have been playing Trackmania for 2 months because of you. I already knew the game but I don't play very many games, but because you videos came on my for you page I started to give it a try.
Blueberry ... kind of. I played it when I was a literal child in the early 2000s, quit until 2020 when I played for a week, and then started again about a month ago. But I've been watching actively since 2020.
Blueberry here! I had played summer 2020 campaign for like 5 hours, but I started doing COTD and random online lobbies recently. Started playing after seeing your offline video series, showed me there's more than just the campaign and div 1. I feel like I've been improving pretty quick but it's TOUGH. Very fun to get author times, and the plugins make things very satisfying too. I love stats so having all those is probably what has kept me around.
Blueberry! I guess. Technically.
I played TMNF a million years ago, for like a couple months, but did not find the greater Trackmania community and so only had the tracks the game came with, which were fun and all but did not hold my attention. And then I started watching your videos back during the blindfold era, and _finally_ decided it was time to install TM2020 3 days ago, and I've been working on the seasonal campaign author medals since. It's been a lot of fun, but I do wish there was a bit more "beginner guides to getting started in Trackmania" out there, because I've picked up on a lot of stuff from watching your content which has helped _a lot_ which would be nearly impossible to have learned on the fly, and I'm sure there's still a lot I'm missing only just getting started in the game now.
I don't care what anyone says, regardless of whether this is "just a videogame", performing with such consistency is definitely a Wirtual level of skill. Gotta love the head tilting when he's going for #1!
Hello Wirtual, i started watching ur content maybe around 6 months ago.
I remember playing trackmania waaaay back when, in like 2013, playing on online servers.
I installed the game recently and played a little bit on the campaign, chasing the Author medals. But after getting frustrated at my own skill at driving and learning i quit again shortly after not being able to complete the Author medals on the later maps of the campaign (especially ice).
I was actually gonna record and document my whole journey of the campaign as a total new player but i never did anything of the footage
Anyway, i might dabble again here and there but for now i label myself too bad even as a complete starter by my own standards.
I'm 38 y/o and have watched vicariously through friends and UA-cam channels what Trackmania is. I'm excited to actually give it a try after I get through some of my other games I've never played on Steam. Wirtuals content makes me want to dive in even more so. I will be fully immersing myself very soon in this great game.
blueberry
I've been watching you for a year or so, just picked it up the day spring 2024 season started. I'm having a blast. My 6 year old son has been playing the training maps and loves them.
I have never watched so much of a game that I've never played before
I'm a blueberry that doesnt have club plus, so I can't play all of the campaign, but I actually have all author times from spring 01 to spring 10, thank you for showing me this game, and about how "then, Halfest got this run". Love the videos!❤
Been playing trackmania on and off since tmnf it’s always one of your videos that gets me back into it
"blueberry"
i started playing mostly because i saw the video karl jobst made about trackmania, and went to look for the concurrent video you did with him. idk what it was abt it (since i never play racing games) but i was so enamored with how you played that i started playing for myself
when he said “so many of my viewers aren’t subscribed” i was like “well that’s dumb if they’re recurring viewers” and then i realized I myself have not subscribed somehow. i’m the problem
Lol I never noticed myself because I’m subbed to his other channel.
Lmao same, I'm subscribed to the other channel and didn't notice I was not subscribed to this one 😂 UA-cam is just too good at recommending videos

Blueberry - I used to play years back, not much, but I quit ages ago and I recently saw your deep dip videos when you first released them (one randomly got recommended to me) so I started playing again. Really enjoying it, the game has come a long way since I last played
I'm a blueberry and a recent subscriber! I saw your video on Deep Dip and i was hooked. A few days later i hopped in, and i can see how you would play this game for years and still have fun!
Pls never stop doing the off stream vids. I enjoy them alot.🙏 Also love the on stream ones ofc.
Blueberry. Been a viewer for quite a while now. I have just recently decided to actually give the game a go.
Awesome! Welcome to the game :D
@@WirtualTV where is the engine noise?
Wasn't expecting to be hit with the nostalgia of toontown music in the beginning. Thank you for that.
Blueberry - dabbled a bit with the winter campaign and I'm hunting my last gold medal in the spring campaign (24 is killing me). After that I'm hoping I can improve my 17 author medals to 20, although there's no chance I'm going to hit author times on the last couple of tracks. Love your videos! Thanks for all the great content, I've learned a lot
Wirtual:
Like you just cannot crash that...
Huh... clearly you havent met me
You got me into this game, but it was almost a year ago, right after summer 2023 came out
blueberry. my friend aswell. I brought him aswell just like you said one time, you brought me, I brought him.
I have never played Trackmania in my life, nor intend to do so, I just love your videos! So I'll keep watching Trackmania as long as you keep making Trackmania videos.
Blueberry. I love that you use the term blueberry for a new player because it takes me back to my destiny days.
BLUEBERRYS RAISE UP
Lovely video! I miss engine sound tho! So quiet without it:(
Blueberry and I got two other blueberries to come along with me
really like this offline videos, makes it feel more personal and centered. hope you heep it up!
Blueberry . I like "Watching the funny man drive his tiny cars" and tried the game. Mind you, I'm 56 and a grumpy old man. Damn you funny man with your tiny cars, I'm hooked on Trackmania. Now I'm a very grumpy but happier old man and I love driving tiny cars now too.
blueberry? is that a destiny reference?
clearly a planetside reference smh my head

omg me too!

7.5 on the second map is criminal, it flowed so well
Bro literally got skill issue and gave the map a 7.5. That map was hard and almost everyone here would never get that author medal, but... its a hard map, just that, not a bad map because its hard. That map was insanely beautiful with not that much of scenery. 9.5/10 and I'm being conservative.
@@luiseduardosilvaaraujo7362 agreed, 7.5 was way too low especially for a 1st map
And what's with the title being a blatant lie?
When I tried my hand at map making years ago, I liked to try to make tracks with an easy and hard route. A player could complete the map taking an easier route so beginners could still enjoy it but there would also be harder routes which would save time if you got them right.
Wirtual is like Minecraft. Once a year I rediscover his videos and it just sends me down a 2 month trackmania rabbithole! cheers
lack of game sound is weird
Repetition isn't bad, if the idea is worth repeating 🤯
last map got in totd rn lol
knew i saw it somewhere
i was about to write the same thing lol
Blueberry! I saw your original Deep Dip video at the beginning of August and I had to finally try for myself... 2 weeks in and I can't stop lol
One of the people who started recently! a nice de-stressing game
OK that was weird. I just clicked on a wirtual clips short and this got uploaded. It was like I summoned it xdd
The sheer AUDACITY to use Toontown music in the first 20 seconds of the video
Right?! Hearing that immediately sent me back 15 years
Dude I ain’t even a blueberry I’m legit the seed 😭
About a year and a half ago I discovered you channel and when I got my gaming laptop I downloaded trackmania and I really enjoy the game so thank you
Big jumps are cool, but you can’t really do much in the air, so jumps are basically forced breaks while you wait for your car to come back down. That probably explains why new players make them but experienced players don’t.
So I started playing trackmania right after Christmas 2023 and so far I have managed to get several top 10 results in washington state. I have also managed to get a number 1 in washington state on track 14 of the winter 2024 campaign, which was just over 60th in the world. I think I'm doing pretty good but what do you guys think?
wow
Blueberry gang👇
Blueberry! Your videos appeared on my feed a few weeks ago and I started playing 4 days ago. I can't stop
Blueberry here! Appreciate the consistent content you’ve been putting out - you make trackmania seem approachable for a beginner
Blueberry! Just picked it up a couple days ago, I'm just reaching the point where your skill level suddenly drops and you die inside, but it's because you're starting to actually understand the game not just perform automatically
This video is kinda like if dougdoug made an explained with food video on trackmania with all the food related analogies.
Dude I literally installed trackmania on my Xbox yesterday just because i saw you on deep dip 2 and I've already got the medal after gold on like 5 maps on the career mode so thanks for getting me into it dude!
The only thing I don't like about Trackmania is how they made the campaign maps medal-unlockable. I play just for fun and I liked playing the hard maps even tho I wasn't fast at them. Now I have to grind to Gold in EVERY previous map to unlock them and it's not worth the effort.
If they really wanna make it more competitive, they should keep all the campaign maps playable by anyone but make the leaderboard eligibility medal-unlockable.
So casual players can still play every map and competitive players who like the challenge and care about leaderboards can still grind for the medals and have it mean smth.
Blueberry
Only found this because of your entry into deep dip 2. Caught it pretty early and was very much enjoying.
Totally understand your stepping out. I almost can’t watch anymore either. The falls are too painful.
i joined like 2 years ago and i got into the game from seeing wirtual playing cup of the day and seeing how much fun it looked
blueberry!
technically i started playing trackmania in like 2018 with trackmania turbo but i have literally no memory of it
i installed this version of trackmania while you were trying to clear floor 4 of deep dip 2 and i bought club access 1 hour later
as soon as i got club i started doing fullspeed practice maps. i dont quite understand how the cakes work but getting the perfect speed slide was fun
i think out of all the "map styles" my favourites are wood and fullspeed. wood feels really fun to play and bigger numbers and more speed = more fun
the one complaint i have is that a lot of the custom tracks i've seen just assume i know how to do stuff like dirt speed slides and ice slides. also i hate engine offs with a burning passion
BLUEBERRY from Brazil
Started playing just before the fall campaign, and have been watching the channels for the past 3 months.
Im very much a blueberry, downloaded the game last night on Xbox and did a few training maps, i had been debating on trying the game or not but watching your content really made me want to try it and on the first couple of maps I’ve already had a lot of fun, it’s refreshing to actually use my brain in a game for once instead of the brain dead point and shoot fps games i usually play, it’s really fun trying to find ways to go faster or just improve my technique a little to get better times. Love the content man, keep up the good work, and i thank you for inspiring me to try something new
For the editor:
I noticed that cheeky cut at 10:42 and i appreciate it
Blueberry after about 3 years of not playing. Got back to all TM, TMUF and TM2s, love it!
Blueberry...I've been watching your main channel a few years here and there and suddenly I realized...why am I not playing a free to play game? lol and I love it.
