@@flinchy-5224 I haven't seen it from Granady and Scrapie yet, but I'll check it out! I'm saying for Wirtual's channel, the format for this video works really well. Discovery -> Grind -> WR Review after. It flowed super well.
@@flinchy-5224 You could have seen this the day of as Wirtual also streamed it, then posted the vod, then posted a short of just the records. The comment has nothing to do with recency, but that 5 short maps, played and then reviewed fits well into a video of this size...
29:37 I got 7th place on this map and have a lot of experience testing out different strats, i found that if you go over the second reactor block too fast, the middle zoop never works. thats why you see the people slower getting the middle zoop and the people faster not going for it. for it to work properly, you need to wait for the first reactor to end before going over the second reactor block. edit: fixed timestamp + thanks for likes :)
This format is the best way to do it. It might not be as contemporaneous, but if people are looking for that, your livestreams tend to be what they gravitate to.
Honestly, these Weekly Shorts maps are more Trackmania than almost anything else in TM2020. As you said at 10:00, these feel more official than any official campaign maps, and that's because Nadeo/TM feel like they're having _fun_ with how they plan out and design these maps. It doesn't seem like they worry about these maps being exploit-proof, or having to limit themselves creatively for the sake of making the campaign 'even'. Legitimately, they thought about TM players, and the maps, having *fun* again. Sticking to a weird concept or idea that may or may not pay off map wise, but you _know_ they had fun making it, leaving it to you to figure out how to drive in the mad world they've made. Not to mention they actually seem to realize that it's also *fun* for people to think of, attempt, and pull off wild strategies & shortcuts, and instead of making several efforts to neuter them, they've made a gamemode _catering_ to that crowd too. That's why it feels more Trackmania than any official single-player campaign. Weekly shorts, once again, makes Trackmania FUN.
19:22 My family owns an English bulldog which we call champ, but we actually couldn't legally name the dog champ in America because apparently you cant name your dog anything to do with awards so I think my dogs legal name is chimp.
Midori as a dog name would go crazy ngl Chess options: ruy lopez, Sicilian dragon (nickname: silly), enpassant, castle (long castle for a dachshund), icbm
Gambit would be a good dog name. It really fits with the Queen's Gambit, which also fits with the fact you're naming something for her and her hobby, her being the queen in that sense, so the dog would be the Queen's Gambit.
this gamemode is so much fun, it's cool to see that even as a VERY beginner player, there are some shortcuts I find that take you ages to find, and some that I completely missed. I've only played the first 2 of the current week but I'm absolutely loving it
24:40 My biggest problem with the current COTD meta (and just about every community map/campaign) is that releasing acceleration is not a mechanic that's ever used, with the exception of full Nascar maps where it's the ONLY mechanic. I'd love to see more maps where releasing is faster for one or two sections, but not the entire map. Similar to how there are maps with a single drift or an ice-slide, I'd like to see more map elements like these, where releasing to avoid a gear-up or to keep grip in a downhill is the fastest strategy.
24:00 it's crazy he didn't see that u could do the same cut from the othercheckpoint where you cut the ice ending, which is waaay more effective than cutting the dirt.
17:44 My family’s current dog is a Terrier-Dachshund named Murphy, because he looks like a freshly poured Murphy’s beer (black with golden patches) Our dog before that (rip) was a labrador-golden retriever-German pointer-maybe also german shepard mix-it-all that was called Guinness, because he looked like a freshly poured Guinness stout (black with golden swirls) I think there’s a theme 😂
First time playing this week and damn is it crazy how good you pros are. It is only the start so idk how this will be later on in it. but im currently top 30 in maryland and only 1664 in the US. I couldnt image how much time people put when that took me an hour and a half. you just created a time sink for me :D
There's a strat on the reactor map I haven't seen people using and that I'm not good enough to pull off. Small break, faceplate strat, release forward in the air then press again on faceplate, get fast zoop and 4th gear on landing
My current cats are Chai and Coffee. I've had a couple cats in the past, they were Mr. Bigglesworth and Elphaba. I love giving my pets nerdy-ass names.
4:54 tbh I disagree with Hylis being able to build a COTD map: he built a lot of maps during TMGL Beta Season and honestly most of them looked like they were built by Zerator those were the most uncompetitive maps we've ever seen at the top level
If you were still wanting feedback, I think the best video format for weekly shorts is one video at the start of each week where you do discovery, then one video at the end of the week where you show what you hunted (and any recordings of you hunting if available), plus records. I'm loving the shorts content ♥️
Question. I just started playing this game and wondering… Are any players using a steering wheel for controls? I've only tested keyboard + controller. Also, feel free to share a random game tip for a new player. Thanks :) I remember Wirtual talking something about edging, sliding, and faster times, but this went a bit over my head.
I suppose this format works if you're the only content creator I watch but it's weird if I play the game myself or watch others because it feels like you are a week behind Either way still loving the videos and the game mode. Can't wait to see what the user made maps will look like. Crazy multipaths with shortcuts and hidden times would go crazy
On map 3, the zoop wasn't possible if you didn't loose the first reactor up before taking the second reactor down. That's why nayz and dudecrook got it and the others didn't
I named my cat Pernelle, as a reference to the wife of Nicolas Flamel and we knew my cat was born around the begining of October as Pernelle Flamel was born the 13 of October. I find that cool
Great format. Should even work nicely if you want to do more hunting yourself offline or on stream throughout the week. By youtube logic it may be "wrong" to wait a week and miss out on the initial views, Granady's week 4 discovery is recommended to me without even being a sub of his so I see the appeal, but I hope this format sticks.
I'm proud of myself with these, I got gold on all 5 but author on the castle one. I never slowed down, if you get it right you should be able to jump full on into the fin. I almost did but barely missed the angle
Personally I think than doing a discovery and then offline hunting while the week is still doing and then revealing the strats at the end of the week when they are revealed is the best if you are still looking for suggestions.
I dont play trackmania much but on map 5 couldn't you just do a bug slide after the first checkpoint? Cross the gap and get a crazy angle through the second checkpoint. I'm sure it's possible but I dont know how to do it
I would love to name my future dog in human names. I live in Austria, so funny names would be: Hans, Herbert, Franz, Frank, Günther, Gerald, Manfred etc. Imagine calling for them in a crowded park or on a street and people start turnkng heads and u are just there with your sausage dog!
you should really do this as a weekly series i.e. week 1 do runs trying to get your best time week 2 do your best times and look back at the best times from the week prior showing your run first keep repeating every week. of course do them on the day of release
Definitely liking this format, with the attempts first and the world records at the end
Same here.
This is 100% the format for this type of video. This is so sick
No way, I've already seen it all from granady and scrapie. Their formats are much better than being a week behind.

@@sbilldmilk idk, chump has a pretty good ring to it
@@cambria9893 you could say that lmao
You can name your dog whatever you want, you're talking about the American Kennel Club rules which is just a registry for purebred dogs
Name the dog "Cow" she might go for that
"Come cow"
17:03 the chatter who said call the dog riolu is too funny lmfao
Midori as a dog name would go crazy ngl
Chess options: ruy lopez, Sicilian dragon (nickname: silly), enpassant, castle (long castle for a dachshund), icbm

well, noone saw it actually... lol
Maybe for some reason it isn't faster? I guess you still have to drive upwards on the ice which is the main time consumer
Anyway, just low the FWO parts of the game. That's what makes Trackmania so diff from anything else
Just came back to Trackmania after being absent for nearly 10 years - watching your content for a long time now made me feel like I never quitted :D

26:03 review of top records starts
Had to scroll far for this thanks
I've struggled with insomnia for most of my life and ever since I found your videos, ur voice just puts me to sleep bro, God bless my brother
Love the results at the end going from 5 to 1.
I've been watching this and the main channel on and off for a few years and this format is the first time I legitimately feel like installing the game
Was about to have a nice 8 hours of sleep but wirtual dropped.
First time playing this week and damn is it crazy how good you pros are. It is only the start so idk how this will be later on in it. but im currently top 30 in maryland and only 1664 in the US.

love this format, seeing the secrets right after wirt plays them.
There's a strat on the reactor map I haven't seen people using and that I'm not good enough to pull off. Small break, faceplate strat, release forward in the air then press again on faceplate, get fast zoop and 4th gear on landing
4:26 did bro even notice the donation 💀
he probably did, you can see green timer skipping from 7:22 to 11:15
as a free player, this is the best thing they've ever added to this game
literally the first time I've had more fun in TM2020 than TMNF
The lottery isn’t real 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

Love this gamemode. The theorycrafting and the explanations are very intersting as a nonplayer
I haven't seen week 1 records. Is there a place I can see them?

Granady uses a wheel
Also, Mudda uses a wheel, although he's on a break from TM at the moment.

Was a video ever posted on reviewing the first week's records for this mode?
Yes yes yes... Best format right here❤
On map 3, the zoop wasn't possible if you didn't loose the first reactor up before taking the second reactor down. That's why nayz and dudecrook got it and the others didn't
whats the point if you can see your position on leaderboards?
I named my cat Pernelle, as a reference to the wife of Nicolas Flamel and we knew my cat was born around the begining of October as Pernelle Flamel was born the 13 of October.
I find that cool
16:31 no sorry Wirt, a dog is not a measure of success or anything like that.
19:20 funny enough, there is actually a football player I think he plays for the saints, his first name is kool-aid, it’s insane
Kool-Aid is his nickname, his legal name is Ga'Quincy McKinstry
Dog names: Ramstein Bug and Bong Cloud
Can't wait for 2045 when Wirtual buys his ωth dog.
The «yes sir edge me» comment had me rolling on the floor
Great format. Should even work nicely if you want to do more hunting yourself offline or on stream throughout the week.

watching 5th through 1st when the map has weird stuff going on is awesome
You should rescue a speedyboi greyhound, would sleep all stream plus it's Egyptian. Khufu would be perfect.
This weekly campaign thing is so cool to watch
I'm proud of myself with these, I got gold on all 5 but author on the castle one. I never slowed down, if you get it right you should be able to jump full on into the fin. I almost did but barely missed the angle

My cat is called Maccie, so later when he's old, we can call him Big Mac
I dont play trackmania much but on map 5 couldn't you just do a bug slide after the first checkpoint? Cross the gap and get a crazy angle through the second checkpoint. I'm sure it's possible but I dont know how to do it
5:55 Just pulling another Wirtual.... classic.
when do we get the results of week 1?
actually on theme: my dog's name is anubis because it's the only dog-god I could think of
you need a dog name that's in pyramid/trackmania and chess circles. conclusion? name your dog wirtual
Is there not a second finish on the castle map? Looks like there’s another path right before the turbo
watching wirtual slide on ice reminds me of the time he slid around in a bathtub while covered in mayonaise
Map 3 kinda looks like Wirtual sliding in Mayonnaise if you squint.
I come for the trackmania gameplay, stay for the chats he has with the live stream chat
16:42 okay but like… then it just sounds like khakis the pants
Does anyone know the song playing at 10:00 minutes?
I love wirty-chan
you lucky you didn't type ts in IG
It'll be interesting to see this weeks maps because the times weren't hidden.
I would love to name my future dog in human names. I live in Austria, so funny names would be: Hans, Herbert, Franz, Frank, Günther, Gerald, Manfred etc.
Imagine calling for them in a crowded park or on a street and people start turnkng heads and u are just there with your sausage dog!
I feel like this gamemode lets Nadeo figure out what other sort of styles people like
Kufu and Gambit should be the names of the dogs.
20:48 i was looking at the speed when you said 18.4 and started wondering why you cared about the finish speed lol
you should really do this as a weekly series
i.e. week 1 do runs trying to get your best time
week 2 do your best times and look back at the best times from the week prior showing your run first
keep repeating every week. of course do them on the day of release
15:35 what song is that?
It's from The legend of Zelda Wind Waker
Could someone help me find where Wirtual's jumper is from? I really like it!
Monday, let's discover the old maps :D
Rex is a good name, and it means king so it fits for a chess dog
Kacky is more a cat name than a dog name tbh
i played this week's shorts and broken felt like a mini kacky map with doing the same damn thing for an hour until it just so happened to work
I actually really really like the weekly shorts
Just name a dog Mayo, and you will stop hearing jokes about sliding in mayo
Casual viewer here - this series is peak
Get it twisted. You should gamble. You will win. - Wirtual, 2025
Chess dog: Sicile/Cecial. Short for the Sicilian Defense Opening
Agree that this is the better format. Don't care about the delay its not like I'm going to get spoiled.
Hesat for the dog name Wirtual.
Egyptian, and its a cow.
you should get 2 dogs, a black one and a white one, and name them both Bishop
The only real name you could give your future dog would be "Nadeo". It's the only real choice.
call the dog "stay". stay, come! This is how you make your dog ADHDer
You have to name the dog Quack.
my doggo called ziggy. ziggy is best doggo.
17:03 Khufu and Magnus
did wirtual ever post the records of week 1?
Wirtual call the second dog “en passant”
Rent a dog is wild 😂😂
how do you drift im very new to tracmania but have watched wirtual for years. i play on xbox. also speed slide and bug slide if yk
