The Greatest Player In Trackmania Kacky History 

Finding out Wirtual won KK4 was like getting flashbanged

If you want to keep up with players such as simo, skandear, nixion or link, you have to go all-in and no in between, even if there is some luck involved. I don't mind losing as long as things are interesting and spicy and that's what you can expect if you want to compete against the best in kacky.

Amazing storytelling and editing, the shot at 23:13 is insane.

Simo really is a stand out mapper in TrackMania, every map is build to perfection.

What a fantastic video, flawless story-line, amazing editing, incredible performance by Simo, man, I hope you are proud because you've done it :)

Simo: *"Emotion is not really a thing for me in racing"* This video:

Simo has above all just been very nice guy. My first ever time going online in TMNF was to attempt to play a hyped event, Kackiest Kacky 4. I don't think I got a finish that event, but Simo was always online hunting during my weird hours I was on, and he would help as much as I asked.

Easily one of the most underrated channels on RU-vid. This video's pacing is killer, keep it up.

simo is just built different

This video is way beyond expectations for someone with this little subscribers. The editing and writing in this videos was nigh-flawless, with only blemish being, imo, pacing and narration. To put it simply - felt a bit too fast paced, especially in more dramatic parts. But only slightly. Either way, really hope someone like you will take off as this quality needs to be appreciated by alot more people. I say that as someone who doesn't even play Trackmania but has been fascinated by its competitive and mapping scene. Ironically, Simo's Final Enigma being the thing that hooked my interest (you can bathe in the atmosphere of that map from merely watching someone playing it)

what a great video, finally someone putting light on this legend..

Betta these videos are amazing brother! You are an amazing addition to the great lineup of storytellers that TM has been graced with.

It never ceases to amaze me how trackmania players pronounce the word "lunatic" KEKL

I wondered why there were so many finishes by this guy on RU-vid from the last kacky. That's why. He's the greatest kacky player ever. Duh. 🙏👊

Loved the commentary, I'm one of those viewers that hardly plays Trackmania, yet I watch so much Trackmania videos on RU-vid & these types of videos are my absolute favorite. You did a great job of pulling the viewer in. I hope the work you put into this pays off & you gain the views & attention you deserve. You just earned a subscriber in me, thanks for hidden story we didn't know we needed, best of luck 👍

Nice documentary! Looking forward to seeing more of these in the future!

I thought this was at least 100k+ sub channel just do to your amazing storytelling, pacing & cinematic work. It wasn’t after until I noticed you only had 5k, I can’t wait to see this channel blow up man you deserve it.

absolutely amazing video, your style, editing, and story telling is beyond incredible and I can tell that you’ll go very far!

Nice documentary.

This video is absolutely amazing, the storytelling, the editing, everything, down to the last detail.

another Betta banger, nice editing! I never knew the ins and outs of simo's journey!

Wow you are so underrated. Amazing story telling and beautiful editing. Keep going!

Wow, that was an incredible video!! You keep outdoing yourself every time, and this time I also find the topic as surprising as it is fascinating. Thank you Simo and Betta for this incredible insight into the life of a top level player. This is silly to admit, but it's the truth: I didn't really consider Simo struggling mentally throughout his journey. To think that even a player like Simo struggles with feelings of self doubt, downplaying your skills...on one hand, it makes absolute sense, and it feels like I should have known this from the get go; but also, it's... "humbling"?, in a way, to truly realize that no one is above questioning themselves, their abilities, etc. I was shocked to find out that Simo really joined kk during kk5. I feel like Simo is a player who's name I've always known, and if you had asked me, I would have guessed that simo was a part of the team that started Kackiest Kacky from the beginning. Simo absolutely found his place in this community, and you did a wonderful job at portraying it, and in my humble opinion, you really did Simo's story justice 💖 I will also add that, the quote at 8:00 about Simo's emotions while playing hit me hard, specifically because I have the opposite situation, where it's hard for me to handle failure, and I am prone to letting my emotions get the best of me, like shame after a bunch of fails, or pressure after a bunch of successes. I am convinced that this affects my abilities as a player, and in a way, it feels validating to know that someone else feels this way too ^^' Congrats Simo for your incredible journey, and Betta for this wonderful storytelling ✨

Phenomenal video, I've never played Trackmania but high-quality story telling videos like these get me hooked!

Wow, perhaps the best TM documentary i have ever seen. Looking forward to seeing more of these in the future!

Today I found your channel and I am so happy! Great work! I wish for documentary or interview with Scrapie how he manage to win so many cotd. Insane!

Absurdly good video. I'm just amazed how well put together it really is. Well done!

wtf bro! you deserve so much more, the quality of your content is crazy good, everything is well realized, the voice the history the editing. Cant wait to see more from you!!!

been hoping to find more trackmania history like videos, so glad to come across this

I really love the dramatic narration about kacky events. Kacky is like the pillow fighting division of boxing. Backwards running of endurance marathons. Playing chess on a trampoline. Truly peak competition.

Now that was a great video. Truly well made, you had me standing on my chair for a moment. Your editing is exceptional. I think we have another Wirtual type youtuber cooking guys.

Instant sub from me. Quality vid. I hate to throw comparisons around but this felt like an early Wirt doc, which you def should take as a compliment. Looking forward to more tm content in the future!

I have never played trackmania, but this video had me hooked! Thank you

The editing, storytelling and camera shots are the best I’ve seen from any trackmania creator. Keep it up

absolutely phenomenal documentary Betta, keep up the great work man!

So well edited and narrated! Big ups man

This video is very professionally done, huge props you you, Betta. I always knew Simo was good, but this video helped me understand just how good.

Honestly, this may be the best documentary I've ever seen. The editing is top-tier, the intense plot, and now I'm craving KK9, and I hope to see simo there

I love this type of videos, it's really cool, nice video man !

Awesome documentary! I don't play but I have seen simo_900's name a few times and its great to know more about this amazing player.

love documentaries like these.. big up!

Your storytelling is incredible and the amazing visuals really bring the story to life. Great video

One of the best TM documeantaries that i have seen, in my opinion keep up with the amazing editing style would love to see more!

Really great stuff man. Always love your videos.

Incredible documentary! Thanks for sharing such a high quality story!

simo was the person that inspired me to get into RPG and trial maps and which is a style that i really enjoy playing and have gotten into building due to him

Amazing narrative!! Your script writing skills are incredible

Rly insane video and editing, loved it

fantastic documentary. Very well made sir

Great video. Sooner or later you are going to blow up! Keep up the great work man!

I now see why RU-vid kept recommending this video to me: An interesting story wrapped in high-quality editing and enjoyable story-telling. Really good video :)

That was a great watch! Thanks for that, really awesome!

Amazing documentary - I think this is the best tm documentary ever

even though i have left trackmania and kacky (because of the lost of confidence in myself when i try to play tmnf/uf also 2020), i was just watching simo just climb to the top, he was a titan for me, an unbeatable one. all i can say is that he will never be beaten ever again, no one shall try to become better than him, and good thing he is working something out of trackmania, because i know it consumes alot of your time and confidence but it all paid out. gg's to simo and also i will probably be returning to tm in 2024. absolutely the goat of kacky, and a mark in the trackmania history books.

goose bumbs, what a good video. thank you for telling this amazing story in such a wonderful video

That was a fun watch. Great documentary!

I hope you go viral for content like this Happy to be an early subscriber from this video

I belive you'll be huge tm tuber in no time. Fingers crossed man!

Just subscribed! Thanks for the content!

Amazing video Betta, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Fantastic story. Thank you for documenting this.

beautiful video. you don't overstate anything, all the suspense is warranted, you aren't afraid to kill the suspense when you know something bigger is coming. that restraint can be hard in the exaggerated world of youtube. when some videos literally have vine booms every 10 seconds.

Thats some super cool storytelling, really enjoyed watching🙏🏻

That was a top notch high quality video! Pulling my hat!

you've really bringing new standard to trackmania documentary scene ❤

great video .. one just has to love trackmania for the endless possibilities (when it comes to maps and even "game modes") it offers.. also huge respect to simo for sticking with his passions and achieving greatness

Betta, wtf is this monument of a minidoc? Amazing filmic scenes and tension in each chapter. Those small bits in between when simo's car is on the scrapers and looking down onto the maps - just brilliant to fill pauses but also to let it feel a bit like CARS - gives just the car itself so much emotion, and kind of like a transformer's vibe of "the car chooses its driver" (not that I am fan of those movies, but you get the drift). The last tidbit around the three last minutes - doing that same angle cam and switching to the first series last map, just bringing the viewer back to the struggles, excitement and tension of the player - perfect bracket. Narration and writing ACE, the after effects zoom in onto the graph Works brilliantly, you havent lost me one second although its just 4 -5 animated dots climbing in x and y. YOu could easily send this one in to shortfilm competitions... just one tiny thing: at the end of iteration7, you have those countdowns of the timer, and one might ask themself, why is one done and the others still play - not sure if you mentioned it at the beginning, but if I wouldnt have known the format, I am not sure one would understand that those maps run on servers where maps are going in full rotation, meaning you only have the chance to finish that map when it is its turn; and not 50 servers running constantly with all maps at the same time. Also meaning it was the player's last chance as Kacky would be over after that cycle. Also at the beginning you mention his lack of self-confidence - did he say anything on the forums or voice chat or something? Or is this a presumption?

you deserve way more subs! keep up the good work sick video

Seriously, a lot of effort went into this video…and it clearly shows! You’re gonna be big

great editing :) wish you happy xmas :)

Others have already said these things, but the story telling in this video is great and the editing is sublime 😙👌

Amazing video! Really proffesional in regards to production quality and storytelling. Just a quick fyi tho: the graphs reveal whether the players do or do not beat the last maps. May have been intentional or unimportant, didn't actually bother me too much, just wanted to point it out in case you missed it ;) but sick job!

Why is there a top notch TM documentary on a non-wirtual channel? Great work dude! Amazing editing and storytelling!

As someone who has never played nor been interested in track mania that much, i must say this story telling is amazing. Really got me invested in the story, keep up the good work

This felt like a movie. I love the attention to details!

incredibly well made video, absolutely loved it

Good video. I like the focus on the less told story

super high quality stuff, great video

Another new amazing youtube with great production value and interessting videos? I guess im subscribing

this is CRAZY story telling i love it thanks for this moment of discovery

Such a quality video ! Congrats !

Awesome documentary. Thanks 😊

Nice storytelling and good editing, felt like a was watching wirtual😅

few things in life can beat chilling in simo's chat during Kacky, saying huomenta to every new face, playing the cat game or just spinning like a fish and watching him play the next despair map... EDIT: feels surreal to see myself in Simo's chat when he finished -173...

Keep making videos bro you are so underrated !!

BROOOO what is that video quality, good job buddy

Agree with the majority of the comments: your video is amazing, well explained and has good story-telling. Nonetheless I find the music to be a bit too loud sometimes, covering your voice and setting some kind of epic mood where I don't really feel the need like it (i.e. 5:30)

Simo is on another level... Absolutely amazing feat and great video!

Great video brother, keep it up.

awesome video, much love from germany!

i was expecting tekky but im newer to the game and havent heard of simo. Great video.

"[...] and Press Forward Maps. All of these styles [...] have a total mastery of skill." xD, Great Video ❤

Great work! Those cinematic replays are top notch! e
