I would love to see discord personal training sessions on different surfaces and styles by some of the top drivers. There was the one from Micka a while back, but it feels like it would be good for the community as a whole to have more of that type of thing as physics change or as new tech is discovered. It doesn't have to be the top player, and some of them are likely to be too busy or too focused on hunting, but it would make sense to community fund such videos as they are invaluable to the community.
Last full ice competition with a prizepool he did not win, last ice competition (without prizepool) his team came 3rd. Micka of old cleared everyone, and he is still widely regarded in the ice community being in the top 3, but he is definitely not the best ice player currently
As someone who's literally never played Trackmania before, I'm just smiling and nodding, "yup, it's witchcraft, that's all I need to know". ...Also as someone that loves winter levels in video games as a general theme, I'm vibing with the map design on these. There's no way in hell I'd try to _drive them IRL_ (I'm Washingtonian, our entire state shuts down for _one centimeter_ of road snow), but I could see myself just hanging out in the stands watching the action...
A campaign that Wirtual _couldn't_ get all ATs on? ...now he knows how I feel with normal seasonal campaigns. Also, we're gonna need to know where you got that Pingu car model, and how to import our own into the game... because I have ideas. _Wonderful, horrible ideas._
Started playing Trackmania Tuesday after watching you for quite some time. Mad respect for this level of skill. I’m struggling to survive the short bob sleigh turn on track…. 24? I think it is- on Spring 2024. Forget which one it is LOL oops. Seeing these dudes pinball at specific spots to optimize specific angles is nutty. Proud to say I’ve gotten gold medals on every map in the current Spring campaign sans the aforementioned map and the underwater start map. Author medals on over half of the tracks so far. So far, favorite map of the campaign BY FAR is 25- in terms of, “new players are going to be put off by the multiple cars” NAH. 25 with all of the dank car swaps and tricks feels so amazing to play. “Hunted” the gold medal first before even finishing some of the other black maps AT ALL just because I was enjoying how much that map was teaching me alone. Thanks for the content, and the helpful videos that jump started my journey. Aiming for ATs, then I’ll find a new goal from there :)
You could do a series or a big video where you invite an ice god an really learn it into depth. This would be fun to watch and educating at the same time
It didn't happen this video, but I remembered how everyone says it's weird that the snow car is worse on ice than the stadium car and that it's confusing, well let me tell you that it isn't! Ice is a hard ass surface, and stadium car is made to drive on asphalt which is a hard surface, meanwhile snow is soft as hell, so it makes sense that the snow car would only be better on soft surfaces like snow and sand
I love how the snow car, a supposedly winter-climate vehicle, has absolutely zero grip on ice and would most likely get you killed in any remotely cold environment lmao
I actually found by myself in other tracks the trick teuflum is doing in 05, wallbangslide lmao. I was thinking it only was faster for me, who i'm not a good player in general. I think I will use it more from now
I thought I was understanding ice pretty well now. I thought ice wiggles were ice speed slides. but no, there is an ice-slide speed slide. This surface is wild
cool records and i liked the recap, but real talk if a player of your caliber cant get the author times (without serious grinding) they’re too hard. seems like these icy campaigns are falling into the trap that COTD maps did a while back and that’s a shame
Author medals should represent the author's best attempt at beating their own map. As such, I think they should generally be exceedingly difficult to obtain unless the map maker either isn't great at the game or didn't care about setting proper medal times. You're driving against the creator on their own map, and you should have to fight them (metaphorically speaking) for the privilege of earning that medal. It's like challenging a gym leader in Pokémon. If you're not strong enough, you don't get the badge, and a challenge that isn't hard to beat is not worth taking pride in.
The icy campaign is made by and for the best ice players. It's not meant for casual players. Never has been, never will be. These guys aren't catering to normies. They compete with each other to push the maps to the limits and that's that
Disagree, that is what Gold medals are for. A higher level player should be able to get Gold medals easily, but ATs should definitely require grinding. I think the issue is the other way around, normal campaign ATs are often way too easy. I installed the game last year, and within a maybe 3 hours of my first session had 5 or 7 ATs. Made me think "wait, that's it?". It should not be impossible to get, but should also be a realisticly great time to aim for.
oi, don't dismiss the penguin car skin so quickly as if it's some simple novelty! I might play more now that I know I can do that, as people *need* to know I play on Linux. (Arch btw)
I think setting near impossible author records is so lame The point is not to reward "the dedicated few" it's to reward a certain mastery of the track. When it's not 1% of players but .1% or less that can get it, it just isn't even a goal anymore. It doesn't push anyone but the people that are already good enough.
@@lakie92 The ice campaign is the campaign but ice, it's for everyone that wants to play it. They made it so hardly anyone can author medal- that doesn't mean it's not supposed to be. That was their choice and I disagree with it.
I never figured out how you could keep the car sideways while also counter-steering. I always struggled with the car rotating back to centre on longer drifts. Is that the 40% thing?
In trackmania united forever snow car dont have grip on ice that's why its terrible on ice its literly car shaped hockey Also in tmuf ice was terrain tool not block
It's a shame the icy campaigns have turned out way too hard like this. They used to be one of the few long grinds I would watch nearly all of. Edit: just clarifying I mean the author times. I'm not saying people shouldn't grind hard for wr.
12:25 ish, "very technical map; not at all how a good ice map is built" Honestly, I hear similar a lot watching cotd VODs, but...I can't agree really. There's a part of me that thinks weird shit that requires outside-the-box thinking and unusual execution make for a better map than most of what I see for COTD.
I see what Wirt means by the tough author medals are turnoffs now. If less than 20 people have it, and it's a campaign as famous as icy campaigns, it's a little ridiculous.
Nothing will ever beat the absolute MickaChad posting his 1.000.000 points ice campaign domination
Damn, that pingu skin looks amazing, I'm sure nothing wacky and uncharacteristic will happen with it
It would make so much more sense on it's belly
The only thing I know for certain is that penguins can't fly
it would be really mental if something to do something with a shortcut being done
Surely not Clueless
[Insert Pyramid of Giza 1:1 scale]
Its weird not seeing micka absolutely dominate this campaign
where is he at?
@@IReallyWantThisNamehe's just taking a break
i wish i got dominated like micka dominates ice
why’d my funny haha joke get deleted :(
yea and what is with tigershark and Medien?
22:50 SinceAlphaGaming's first message in chat : "I guess thats what happens when the Germans legalize pot"
THANK YOU!!
yeah, it is visible like 20 seconds earlier
you can actually see the message itself at 22:31
Wild how Teuflum and Notimpressed have totally different lines but the same times
which car is teuflum using?? In the first clip the wiggle pattern brake
Thank you so much for your hard work and creativity. Your videos are always interesting and satisfying.
you forgor the emojis mannn
Tell me where is Buckleys Shirt
Thank you 😊

He had one with FS as well not that long after the Micka one, I believe
"Best Ice Player"
I don't see micka in this video though
It seems Micka decided to have mercy on his competition and let others feel what it's like to hold his title for a bit 😄
He even says "The best ice player.. when Micka isn't playing"
Last full ice competition with a prizepool he did not win, last ice competition (without prizepool) his team came 3rd. Micka of old cleared everyone, and he is still widely regarded in the ice community being in the top 3, but he is definitely not the best ice player currently

"Im gonna have to drive with this skin later" LMAO ppl who were in the stream and know what went down later...
I want a Wirtual 3D model skin with mayonnaise drift marks.
I will pay for it.
Green timer on the Teuflum final run 2- -min-wait is peak chat behavior and actually insane
Wirtual chat has devolved into begging for green timer and spamming the worst emote of all time

I love that there is ice specialists, tech specialists, fs specialists, then just 08 specialists

how so?

Essaying
Ok guys I must,
"Ice speed slide": no
Spice slide
Not only does wirtual deliver the best content, but has fire taste in music while he does it.
Ice replays can have only 3 type of reactions for me:
"Oh, that so smooth"
"WTF maaan"
"Okay bro, you are WAAAY too good"
😂
Crazy runs! Would appreciate in these if you had the medals plugin on screen so we could compare the times to the AT.
"Thank you ice player for being so cool" ... most underatted joke 10/10

love that game
bro the world breaker music at 9:00 is fire
Guy just casually wins a COTD driving a literal ice cream truck
I love how the snow car, a supposedly winter-climate vehicle, has absolutely zero grip on ice and would most likely get you killed in any remotely cold environment lmao
Love all the car skins saying 34% lol
Also the skins are just really cool in general, with that brake effect lighting up the intricate designs
I actually found by myself in other tracks the trick teuflum is doing in 05, wallbangslide lmao. I was thinking it only was faster for me, who i'm not a good player in general. I think I will use it more from now
i weren´t prepared for 187 Straßenbande hahahah
I could translate most of what he said, but I didn't know what bande meant. Thanks for clarifying.

where did Micka go
I'm convinced that Teufleum is just Micka's identical twin
Wirtual in Icy Campaign feeling like every casual player in the normal campaign 😜
27:32 UA-cam privileges 😂

Wow congrats Wirtual
It's just not the same without Micka's dominance. He's the Magnus Carlsen of ice
Nice having the Ori music!
I like how the team with the best ice players is named '34%'
"If you hit the corner of the plastic circle." - Wirtual 2024
ice players really just be doing anything except what you'd expect
This is clickbait so Micka see's the title and has to prove a point so Wirtual can make content on his comeback
oi, don't dismiss the penguin car skin so quickly as if it's some simple novelty! I might play more now that I know I can do that, as people *need* to know I play on Linux. (Arch btw)
Ice player are really an entire different type of TM player.
so slippery, i could never
mapt 23 was actually really fun to drive you should try it yourself :)
This is insane.
Where's Micka?
We need a bicycle car skin with a bell for a horn
Snowcar on ice is just pinball 😂
I either die, or set a world record
- Probably Teuflum, before launching himself to a wall xD
I think it would be good if you at least did a discovery vod of the ice campaigns. No need to hunt the ATs
"I love you... f- for the content 👉👈"
Teuflum is a gamer
PORTUGAL WITH WORLD RECORD RAHHH
Where is micka
I think setting near impossible author records is so lame

Well, at least i have Smth to see now...
Custom 3d models in 2020? GIANT BLIMP AND/OR BRIDGE SKIN WHEN?
Does anyone know what skin Teuflum or skurtt is using? Thanks
In trackmania united forever snow car dont have grip on ice that's why its terrible on ice its literly car shaped hockey
Also in tmuf ice was terrain tool not block
Finnaly a portuguese player in the top ps:"continua assim rapaz a representar portugal"
What do you mean "the best ice players" The goat didn't even play this campaign... Or did he ? Micka would have dominated every last one.
It's a shame the icy campaigns have turned out way too hard like this. They used to be one of the few long grinds I would watch nearly all of. Edit: just clarifying I mean the author times. I'm not saying people shouldn't grind hard for wr.

yo mom, im on youtube :D

Bring back Micka !!!
Micka too good
NOOT NOOT
My favorite part is when Teuflum said "it's flumin' time", and flumed all over the place.
Micka not good enough?
Wirtual better get 1st place
like nr.100 is mine
there are a lot of german players on ice maps
Kinda weird seeing custom cars in 2020 lol, feels like a really old gimmicky thing
Custom models are great
kinda surprised that Micca wasn't in any of these maps did he retire or something?
Taking a break from campaign grind
How do you play with the turbo car?
Just use it
is it me or is there audio glitching here and there?
Why are the germans so good at ice?? LMAO
Where is MickaTM? He doesn’t stream anymore :(
livesplit timer not present: unwatchable
did micka leave TM?
34% lmao

What the hell happened to Micka?
187!!!
