Dexter drives like you would expect from a german trackmania player. He can be very consistent but in a cup of the day format he just full risks like granady, massa, or lars would. Marius is the only german player who actually does safe lines in cuppa
It's nice to see how map-makers like to have these little coded messages in their own levels. Like, every turn has a different colored arrow-greens are simple turns, yellows are more like tight Nascar turns, and red are almost always sure drifts. Once you figure these little things out, you're more likely to succeed as long as you have good timing and mechanical skill.
I'm sure your video statistics proves out your editing choices, but I must say I'm a bit sad that you have started cutting down the quali to only the completed runs with improvements. Most COTD videos I watch for the quali and then skip toward the end of the rounds as I really enjoy watching the learning and improvement process, as well as the tension that comes when you have to actually push yourself towards the end of the competition. If there is anything that I would personally prefer to see cut, its the first 10 rounds where everyone drives safe. But even though I wished things were cut together differently, I do really enjoy watching these videos and rarely miss an upload. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into making these COTD videos happen. Cheers from Alaska!
I am watching those edited Vids exactly like you - i love the improvement on qualies. I would cut out from qualies only those runs where there are crashes becaouse of bad luck or where he is playing safe - maybe 2 or 3 runs total. Than i am going to the last rounds he struggles to stay in - first few runs are really boring coz everyboy plays safe. Than i watch semi finals and finals. Maybe there are many styles of watching and we all need different things but I really agree with you on that one :)
Checkpoint splits only update every time you pass a cp, so I assume Lars crashed the before cp1 and then never passed a cp otherwise his splits would update and show the real time he was behind
Racing =/= speedrunning. I saw a chat member say "IMO idk if trackmania counts as speedrunning" and someone replied "then neither does Mario Kart" and someone else said "Then what is it?" and I think the answer is just that it's a racing game. Racing games are games where you race against other people to get the best times on tracks, or positions in a race as a primary purpose. Speedrunners take games that otherwise do not have any inherent need to be done fast and play them faster. Seeing how fast you can beat a game that has no inherent need to be played fast is giving the game a secondary purpose to the speed, whereas in any racing game going fast and seeing how quickly you can finish a track are already inherent primary parts of the game, which would otherwise not be playable/competitive without them. I also think it helps to show more communities if we separate it into racing and speedrunning. All the people in both categories are already lumped into speedrunning right now which makes the meaning of the pool more dilute as well as the ability to highlight anyone from it.
So by your logic Neon White not a speedrun game, which it most certainly is. Speedrunning doesn’t require the game to not be about speed, racing against others/yourself for best times on tracks (games/categories) is exactly what a speedrun is.
@@poiri "Speedrunning" implies the existence of other types of "runs". Rally drivers aren't "track speedrunners", they are racers. Neon White can be finished without getting a WR, a casual run is absolutely possible.
@@singami465 casual runs of trackmania are equally possible, most people don’t go for a WR. You can finish a track, or a campaign without getting top times in a way no different from a level in Neon White.
I've speedrun a few games and I consider TM to be a speedrunning game, not JUST because it's a racing game with the goal of being fast, but because it's a game specifically about doing solo runs & placing times on a leaderboard. We look at posted times instead of position in a specific race (except for certain modes ofc) and our inputs are not impacted in any way by the decisions of other cars. A (multiplayer) mario kart race wouldn't be a speedrun in my eyes because you are looking to "finish the race before these opponents" rather than "complete the fastest time on the level", but even more importantly, powerups and player collision take away the 'solo perfectionist' energy that a speedrun typically has. TM on the other hand is literally just a game about speedruns. cotd and other competitive formats aren't quite the same but they're still closer because of the lack of collision and other ways to influence opponents in a given race. Games which center & celebrate speedrunning are still speedrun games - if you think they aren't, you might have made some assumptions about what a speedrun is at some point that might be worth unpacking
@@julie-the-julie Trackmania is a racing game because you race other people. Mario Kart has the same time trial modes and they are just as heavily hunted, if not more, since Mario Kart is such a popular series. MK8 is still a top seller every week on switch. Trackmania also has the modes where you race against people, like cup of the day. I should have added that another aspect that makes it NOT a speedrunning game is that you race people as a main part of the gameplay. In speedrunning racing people is not generally part of the pain gameplay, and in a non racing game the "racing" portion of it that might be inherent to the game is only a secondary purpose to the main game
7:30 love the sonic soundtrack in the backround. instant nostalgia hit. Edit: it fits too, considering it's His World, and this track is basically designed for you lol
I really gotta stop watching Wirty-chan live on Twitch huh, now I've already seen this and somehow even remember it. I'd make a joke about how this was 10 years ago, but it was actually 10 days ago, that's practically unheard of here, isn't it.
If the best players on different types of tracks are the king of ice, dirt,grass, etc. wirtual is the king of unknown. And let me tell you this name sound badass.
it makes sense wirtual does well on the weird maps, he plays trackmania for a living. he just has a LOT of practice. hes also played a like a billion maps for content.
I have a theory for the loop I bet that keeping speed has to do with preventing collisions with the loop. One way to do that might be to go in at an angle and steer into it so that your wheels hit instead of your car, allowing you to make it through with way more speed that or it's down to parameters that humans can't control very well
I had fun on this map - didn't catch the cup and only got a silver, but still - the one part I didn't like was that transition down to grass just after CP4. It looks cool to watch, but it always shook my concentration and I lost a lot of time trying to reorient myself.
Just in case you didnt know in track mania it is possible to drive right into the finish line, it wouldn't count. Wirtual has to drive through the entire course otherwise he would be mocked relentlessly by chat for taking such an easy shortcut because he wouldn't take the chance of choking at some point, also known as "Pulling a Wirtual."
>in Trackmania, it's often very healthy to take responsibility for your own mistakes instead of blaming the game And here's why I don't play TM, but 100%ed Tboi three times.
I never watches the chess content of this channel and I always just assume Anna is just some friend he has in Sweden. Last week I accidentally learned that Anna's mom was once the strongest female chess player on this planet. Oof.
hey Wirt, can rarely catch streams so love having these vids. best part is always watching you learn the route in Qual, would love to see less of it cut!
I'm confused. Does wirtual speedrun games? I've only ever seen him do Trackmania videos on youtube. Or does he think Speedrunning just means driving fast?

I agree with you probably keep the very close run where he almost loose and the really good runs during the elimination phase as well
@@jpryan90 We are talking about edit style
yes the quali is by far my fav part

1:27 if he said "i win" that would have been the coldest bar in 2024 so far
6:00 this man waxed his roof before the race
18:40 Lars and Marius in perfect sync in last places, every split they had was exactly the same :D
This HAS to be a bug. It is impossible to drive 6 or 7 splits on the same thousands of a second. The probability would be tinier than my ****.
Checkpoint splits only update every time you pass a cp, so I assume Lars crashed the before cp1 and then never passed a cp otherwise his splits would update and show the real time he was behind
It is a bug. If you pause at scoreboard at 19:32 you can see lars disconnected
Didn't even notice that, that's insane
We need troll of the day were the troll finish is the ACTUAL finish and the entire map is a bait with NO CHECKPOINTS
Not sure what you mean by troll finish
0:20 yeah i have no idea why he didnt just go for the finish here, its the easiest shortcut
@@cd-zw2ttThat's... probably a gps
This has been done, but with ring checkpoints, so you respawn in the start and go for true "fake" finish
People will figure this out really quickly and it will be a really boring cup afterwards

even better is minecraft at 20:00
After the halo is skyrim.4:18 I wonder if he just had a videogame playlist for today.
he presses the keyboard almost perfectly in sync with the song at 8:22
omg he does
HOLYY
Love the castle crashers music at 5:06
Saw this one live, and it was like the second time I've ever watched wirt live in about 5 years of YT viewership. Really fun one
for anyone asking for the song at 13:56 - Milk N Cookies ft. Alina Renae - Mastodon (Louis The Child Remix)
Wirtual says, "im not a pro" yet he streams, has fun, WINS SOME COTD. No matter what, Wirtual will always be a pro in my mind
Dexter earned that win for sure, dropping a 46.8 in top 5 is bonkers
thanks for the spoiler :(
You could always just… not look at comments while watching the video?
@@simonee42 it was the top comment so it shows even while not opening the comment section

“if you want to succeed, you must risk failure”
-a wise wirtual once said
5:40 - 7:00 havent seen anyone commented on this but Ryu Hayabusa theme goes hard
Wirtual does better on question mark maps because he is good at everything equally while others focus on a skill.

watching this a half year later when wirtual moved to sweden. probs because he is getting old and slower

Watching my favourite UA-camr PBing in trackmania to the Morrowind OST. What a time to be alive.
this track really flows, and has nice scenery. very well done.

Was just about to go to bed. Thanks Wirt! I'm sure this is gonna help like usual!
I want to vote for that guy who was sliding in the mayonaise for the awards.

Woah he’s playing castle crashers music at 5:20
9:37 is that hopes and dreams i hear?
the background halo music
AND OBLIVION/SKRYIM
dark loop required a straight entry for full speed.
As a Swede, I honestly enjoy getting roasted by Wirtual
Wirtual actually has goated BGM, is there a playlist anywhere?
Wirtual: I identify as a man
Me: Good for you, bro. I stand with you
✊
We haven’t forgotten about the mayo
loving the beef with swedes
hey Wirt, can rarely catch streams so love having these vids. best part is always watching you learn the route in Qual, would love to see less of it cut!
Woke up and wirtual has uploaded. Awesome
Hearing that song from Castle Crashers in the background had me trippin
Wirtual, I dare you to intentionally play bad in the qualifier to play in a lower division for COTD
Can you include more of the qualifications? Those are the most interesting part
The dude at 6:14 does NOT know what determinism actually means lmao
He is a WirtuAllrounder
if there's no favorit but your good at that kind of tracks doesn't that makes you the favorit
10:11 "I identify as a man" 🗿🗿🗿
Looks like every tm tech map on og tm
loving regular uploads
Can i use a steering wheel on trackmania and where do you get trackmania
What type of typewriter do you play on 🤔

3:25 halo theme?!?!?
Could someone explain how that plastic bounce flip loop works?
just got a victory royale while listening to your vid :D tysm wirtual
"This Cup of the Day was Made for Me" and he still can't win this lmao
Hey man, it was made for him, but he wasnt made for it!
Guys anyone know when his next youtube stream is going to be? Is there a place where he updates a schedule?
So this 'second channel' is practically his main channel? Just asking lol
basically lol, here there’s uploads on weekdays and the real man in channel is for bigger production and research intensive videos
Yw for your country, freedom and money. /Sweden
Is that info on the left (competitors times) a mod or part of the base game?
the match # box and the box with the player's names are part of the base game, the top box with the medals is not though
2 videos back to back!?
I'm confused. Does wirtual speedrun games? I've only ever seen him do Trackmania videos on youtube. Or does he think Speedrunning just means driving fast?
I mean, racing Games are essentially Speed running Games, no?
But to be clear, Just Check Out His entry into Games done quick or how ever it is called, where He Speedruns the whole campaign of tmnf
anyone know the song playing from the 12:13 mark? shazam having a hard time picking it out over the car noises

so looking forqard to this
Is that the Halo theme in the background?
Elensar, did you add a version of the song Sweden by C418?
Love this idk why
It's a real shame he only uploads COTD videos on his main channel when he races in them. Feels like such a spoiler 🙁
0:15 and 0:42 gd reference??
18:50 that's ... weird
look at the splits for the eliminated players
they are all the same for the entire run
Would be top tier content if not for the fake “hua hua hua” laugh
What song is playing around 12:00?
Am I the only person who knows the background song in the beginning from castle crashers
When will he slide in mao
Yeah bro got scammed tf outta that loop
what is the music at 9:55?
WHERE DO I VOTE
Why's your car got intermediate tyres on when the track is clearly bone dry? 🤔
Someone please tell me the song at 9:50? I cant find it anywhere
Hopes and dreams?
11:19 and now they’re dating
