Things Poof still doesn’t know about MKWii 1. Wheelie-ing is easy, even using the wii-wheel. Just lightly but quickly throw the top of the wheel back towards you and hold it perfectly straight. 2. POW dodging is not about “shaking your remote.” It is about being in the air when the POW hits. So moving the the wii remote quickly upwards at the moment the pow hits will dodge it. 3. Getting a speed boost upon being dropped by Lakitu, like at 25:25 is done by simply pressing and holding the gas at the exact moment your kart/bike hits the ground. 4. Hold the gas right after the “2” disappears during the countdown to always get a boost and never burn out. @poofesure
a pow dodge is both wheeling (shaking the remote) on the third rumble, which has you spin once with a different visual effect and some i frames (like that banana that did nothing, but doesn't protect from blasts), but still losing your item, or being in the air like you said, which happened in dk jungle parkway, leaving you unscathed. you can also hop frame perfectly on flat surfaces to do that
Another tip about wheeling: If you wheelie after using a mini turbo it will allow you to instantly be at the max speed in the wheelie instead of having to accelerate. It’s very useful for frontlining and gaining huge leads.
@@RedstoneRuler 2 isn’t wrong and it doesn’t say that shaking doesn’t work… it’s more consistent if you don’t shake and swipe upward when the pow hits.
17:48 The sequence of events here, him using the star right when he needs to turn and drives off, blames it on the star and then proceeds to drive right into a wiggler which he could've just driven through with the star WHILE complaining about stars being useless on maple treeway. Chef's kiss.
I gotta say, as someone who uses automatic instead of manual on Mario kart wii, I’ve never had trouble with the motion based turning. That seems to be his major issue and he refuses to switch to auto.
POOFESURE TIP after being picked up by lakitu, if you press accelerate right as your about to hit the floor, you get a small boost. it's small but very useful
The fact poof was genuinely driving exceptionally well and then the blue shell brought out one of the unluckiest strings of events in mario kart history
Imagine if he did a "i play bass pro shops the strike until i catch one fish" and the video is like 50 minutes long. Actually I want him to do that now lol
Tip for Maple Treeway: take the shortcut immediately to the left at the beginning of the race, you’ll lose a bunch of position, get your item box, then get put at like 1st or 2nd place with a last place item such as a bullet bill. Then just hold that lead for the whole race. Read the ginormous red arrows if you forget which way the curves go.
@@DPlumes you might be right. All I’m saying is you end up in first place with a last place item. Even a golden mushroom would be good if you just hold it until you get to the straightaway
pro tip: at 25:06 you got a boost when you hit accelerate as soon as you land. anytime you fall and lakitu drops you back on the track hit the acceleration and you’ll get that boost.
That thumbnail of Wiggler made me felt excited as I’m watching Poof tried passing throughout the catapillars and got really mad was the funniest thing I ever watched lol 😂
BTW, when you have the thundercloud above your head, it completely ignores the off-road and treats it as the main track, so you can cut through grass and whatnot as long as you still have it.
@@boyerjermy43 dude you are just as naive in your own conclusions as poof is, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get a green in 11th or any shell for that matter, all that happened is peach was probably in a higher position, got the item, then fell to 11th
This is a dumb excuse, BUT. TVs *can* have worse input lag than monitors (and they do tend to). Technically if your TV has like 8ms delay worse than the old monitor did, it would be valid because it is a new factor to get used to.
@@chewypinecone it still wouldn't make a difference when it comes to poof, since he already reacts at least half a second late to everything, he thinks the game is doing smth special everytime he gets hit by a green shell when 90% of the time he could avoid being hit if he even reacted to the presence of a shell
11:00 you can dodge a pow by jumping to strafe / drift without tilting your remote, its very hard to do and isnt worth the pay off usually, but i think you managed it here by hopping prior to your turn!
fun fact about green shells: I'm pretty sure that they have a sort of "smart bounce" ai where the angle they bounce at is specifically calculated to bounce at and hit someone, as in the shell itself adjusts it's bounce. This goes for players and cpu Another fun fact: I'm pretty sure that in mario kart wii, not only are item pools determined by how far you are from the first place player, rather than just your position, but also the player and the cpu have different item pools for each distance threshold
smart bounce isn't proven, but i do believe it's in mk8, personally. anyway, distance doesn't matter at all in mkwii, but players and cpus do have different pools, and pools also differ in gp, offline vs, battles and online. there are also a few rules like allowing only one blooper, pow, bullet and shock to exist at once and 15, 20 or 30 seconds of cooldown before they are in play and after one is used (blue shells aside, those can be pulled again immediately, but do have the 30 secs cooldown too at the beginning)
hey poof i just wanted to say, ik some of your views have been low but those views are your true fans, i've been here since your fortnite videos and i can't believe how many years ive been watching your videos but out of all the shit i had to deal with your videos have always made me laugh crying and you are still my favorite youtuber, keep up the hard work!
9:50 The items CPUs get differs from what real players get. You would never be able to pull a green shell in 11th, meaning you technically have an advantage over all of them.
Personally my favourite way to play is Nunchucks. Just move the stick left/right to turn (no more tilting the entire controller), and shaking the wii remote to wheelie doesn't make you go a funny angle. You can tilt the stick up to nosedive or down to stay in the air longer. Holding items is easy too (button on the nunchuck)
Poofesure. Been watching you for years. Normally I think ur mediocre at almost all wii games But at mariokart, this is really to blame on using a wii remote and not you. You can play mariokart wii with a nunchuck attached to a wii remote. Trust me, do this. When I was a kid, I could almost never get star rank and thought I sucked ass, but when I recently restarted playing some wii games, I found out that you can play with nunchuck (so no need to buy a controller) and it functions the exact same as a controller. Drifting, steering, wheeling became so easy and in 2 days I beat all cups, all time trials and got a star ranking on all cups.
