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 😎
@@djabski7306 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.
@@Quade12Xyou 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
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 - 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!
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.
I'm 38 y/o and have watched vicariously through friends and RU-vid 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.
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.
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.
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! 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.
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.
I've been really enjoying the not-streamed content! They both have their benefits, with the streamed vids getting highlights of hilarious chat interactions (if not for that we wouldn't have gotten the pyramid videos) but these have the advantage of Wirtual getting to grind things he enjoys, but which twitch chat might get bored of, so we get more satisfying results. It'd be really cool to see these kinds of videos keep getting made, occasionally, once Wirtual starts streaming again.
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
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)
When mapers are still young the old ones used to tell them storys. Storys about a creature called Wirtual. It is said to lurk in the depths of the Reddit in constant search for prey. This legendary creature will hunt their maps to the extrem, exposing every fault.
I think the reason you mostly get high speed into sharp corners, is because that is the best formula for a track in real racing. A long straight, followed by a hard breaking zone, allows one to overtake
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.
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 :)
Blueberry here! I played Nations Forever when it was released on Xbox Live Games with Gold some 8 years ago, but hadn't played any Trackmania game in several years until a week or so ago. I'm really enjoying TM2020!
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.
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), RU-vid 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 :) 🏎️
blue berry.... you got me back into it xd i used to play alongside frostbeule and karjen back in tmnf like 2014..? around that time. your videos made me nostalgic, go back to the game and win some online rounds but simply for the publisher being ubisoft i had to stop again.
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.
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
I'm a very mouldy blueberry, Wirtual got me into TMNT about 6 years ago and then I've played TM2020 since release. Still here and still a big fan! Welcome to all the fresh blueberries!
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!
Well, I'm a clear blueberry then XD Although I started playing TMNF and still like it more because it's not riddled with "Here, play this map! Oops, you can't do that without club access!" parts. E.g. playing older campaigns. Nothing tells you you can't do that, until you click on the map to actually start playing it. Or playing past the first two columns in the current campaign, also doesn't say "You need club access to unlock this" like the medal requirements, but just when you start to play it tells you you need club access. At least ranked seems to be free and I actually managed to become "Most valuable player" in one match.
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.
Blueberry. I tried out trackmania a couple years ago, when i first started watching Wirtual, but only for like 10 minutes. I was so bad. I've been gaming my whole life, but I've never really played racing games. Anyways, I didn't get hooked on the game, but Wirtual stayed in my youtube roster for when I wanted something relaxing to watch late at night. About 2 weeks ago, I suddenly got the urge to try trackmania again. I decided to just go all in and buy the club pass, so I could get the full experience of the game. 2 weeks later and now I'm addicted. I've been playing every evening for at least a couple hours, sometimes way more. The feeling you get with the car, especially when switching surfaces, is so satisfying. Even something simple like, going from a drift on grass to a straight line on asphalt. I've learned to embrace that I'm trash at the game, and I'm cool with never getting really good. I just want to have a good time and beat my own PB. I have no doubt that trackmania will stay in my permanent roster of games I'll play obsessively for weeks, then take a break, and then get obsessed again. By the way, I'm on keyboard. I tried controller, but I just like the feeling better with keyboard. Probably because that is what I primarily use in general.
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 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 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 LOVE these types of videos. like not super played maps and just hearing you talk about them. big fan. my comfort character is wirtual just enjoying himself
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.
Well ... Blueberry here too. It's this video that finally motivated me to start playing ! I've been really interested in this game for more than 10 years now. I think it's time to give it a go!
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.
Blueberry! Thought it was worth a try as I have less time in the day for simracing, haven't tried with my wheel yet but I see the potential. It's always crazy to me watching streamers who seem so casually great at the game, often competing for 1st globally, what I maybe don't see up front is the dedication behind the scenes and the hours that have gone into learning the physics and 'quirks' of trackmania, but as long as I can find good rhythms in the tracks and get the odd author time, I'm having a fun time. As a Canadian it gives me a sense of pride seeing CarlJr on those leaderboards. I think the challenge of self improvement is just as good as the challenge of other players times. One day I hope to have the honor of joining the leaderboard with the names I watch on Twitch and YT
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.
That last map felt so relaxing to watch. I don't know if it was the contrast between last few maps, might have been. First time I have re watched a part of the video just for the map.
"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
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.
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.
I just downloaded the game a few weeks ago. I'm a couple medals away from unlocking black tracks which I'm really excited about. I've been watching your content for over a year and is why I downloaded TM!
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! Finally decided to give it a shot after a while of watching your videos, I started ~5 days ago and only played a few hours total, I am only missing 3 author medals from this campaign although I didn't try those tracks yet, And I've placed in the top 100 for all of canada on two of the campaign tracks! Having a lot of fun so far :)
Blueberry! Downloaded 4 days ago! I've been watching your impressive skills for 6ish months. But after playing the game, I've realised your skill to control the car is absolutely off the chart!
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
Blueberry. I played some trackmania2 when that first came out but I had maybe 10 hours at most and hardly remember any of it. Trackmania is a lot of fun. Club access feels mandatory, the free version is more like a trial imo. My main problem is that most of the more advanced mechanics are hardly explained at all and there don‘t seem to be great maps to learn them, like bugsliding. Going for the author medals on the spring campaign(which is my first) is pretty fun but also really frustrating because half the time I don‘t know how the wr time got so much speed seemingly out of nowhere. All in all great experience tho.
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, in tdrms of this trackmania on pc, before i have played trackmabia turbo for 3 years on my ps4 until i looked up autoher times, saw a video about it on your channel, and thats how i found this channel Cool to see im not the only one who got into the main community more
Blueberry 😂 I’ve watched your channel for years and I’ve played track mania at friends houses but downloaded the game and have actually been playing the campaigns trying to get author times it’s been very enjoyable!
I do love some Wirtual Videos with Blueberry cobbler... But really i do think its your videos that are bringing people into the game. Great job as always.
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
Blueberry! Have had it downloaded for quite a while but barely played it in the past. Started playing more frequently and have managed to pick up quite a few author medals which I'm proud of
Blueberry, just began playing TrackMania two weeks ago because of a really nice youtuber named WirtualTV. Thx for introducing me to the game and keep up the hard work!!!
Blueberry!! Been watching your videos for a long time but finally picked up the game in the last few weeks and got author times on the free access campaign! Thinking of picking up the club access soon so I can get the full experience and enjoy the rest of the game. Not sure on what peripheral to use but just playing whatever I feel and loving the game so far!
