I do really hope that these tutorial videos get good views, since tutorials are something Trackmania seems to always be lacking
I love how you're deep in all of my weird niches, first puppyhelictriangle and now this??
luv u
8k in 2 hours isnt looking great sadly. I really hope wirtual decides to make more tutorials even though this one tanked because trackmania really needs them
@Jortim I mean just over 9k in 2 hours is pretty damn good, people may not be youtubing how to do ice at the moment, but they will eventually, and when they do this video will probably pop off in veiws, plus depending what timezone people are in they will be asleep or at work, I mean when this video was uploaded it was 1am for me, its currently 3.30am as I'm typing this,
@@Jortimapparently not lol
Hey Wirtual, I have a suggestion for the first map, the "Ice Arena". It's kinda hard to get a sense of direction in that map because it's just a single ice plane so if I try to turn somewhere, I'm not immediately sure if I achieved what I set out to do. I'd suggest adding two large differently colored pillars as scenery on opposite ends of the map to serve as sort of landmarks for the player. That way I can, for example, drive in a certain direction and then say to myself "I wanna execute a turn so that I face the pillar on the left" and then try to do it and immediately see if I did it or not.
just when i wanted to go sleep, how convenient
I sincerely appreciate this, Wirtual. You should call these Trackmania Masterclasses
I needed this video for the last campaign, that one that had the hard left with the 360 was IMPOSSIBLE.
And the one with the slide after the sausage? Man, that slide-out was infuriating! haha
There was an ice 360 in that? Why
@man_imbored171 23 had ice 360 at the start took a while for me to understand it but eventually it felt quite fun
It's kinda hard to get 4th gear before this slide and with 3rd it's almost 100% slide out guarantee. Cursed map for me. It's still 2s to gold.
@@doBobrowdym you can always get the 4th gear if you start your slide like half a sec after entering the ice part
After an hour of practice on #2, I went from not being able to complete the first corner to doing the course in 31 seconds, then 27 seconds, started getting the second corners transition better, went to 24 seconds and I end my hour at 23.879 seconds! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Awesome tutorial Wirtual! You’re such a big help to the noob community. For me, a bobsleigh tutorial would be a life saver!
This was great, I knew that to turn less I needed to release but I always slide out. Now I understand it's more like tapping acceleration instead of full release. Thank you so much for the video!
Honestly one of your most helpful videos. I’m new to trackmania so this helps sooo much lol😂
Great video! Thanks for the clear layout of concepts - been struggling a lot with ice slides and knowing fundamentals is going to help a lot
Great video -- definitely filled some gaps in my beginner ice skills, and helped me realise I was sliding out a lot because of the shift from 3rd to 4th gear.
Thanks Wirt!
Year of the main channel! Super excited for more WirtualTV.
Oh Wirtual, finally someone explained the pure chaos I was experiencing whilst driving on ice!
It will take some practice for me to get used to it certainly, but my god what a huge help!
Thank you and keep being an awesome person and content creator as before
Wirtual* :)
I've been waiting forever for this video. Thank you!
Thank You wirtual. there aren't many clear tutorials for beginners out there. hopefully you can do more for different aspects of the game that confuses and frustrated us beginners. this helps the growing TM community a lot.
Definitely gonna check out some of these maps, thank you Wirtual. I hated ice for the most part until this morning when I grinded 09 from the new campaign. After about 30 minutes I found myself hooked and couldn't stop. Ended up improving 3 seconds fron where I started and now am looking forward to playing more ice maps!
Thanks! I'm a beginner at Trackmania, especially at ice.
I had never looked at the back wheel, and tried to forecast its trajectory. Very interesting idea, I'll try it out. In general, if you have more tips for how to time the brake and releases, that'd be useful.
Also, if you could do a bobsleigh tutorial, that'd be great. Not saying that because you like it, but really because I suck at it XD Also, if you have tricks to recover from a bad situation, that'd be great, like when your bobsleigh turn goes badly but you don't want to reset the run and you have to stabilize!
Bobsleigh is not actually hard, you just want to go high at the start to get a clean line into it and you want to steer at about 80%, this way you maximize your acceleration and you aren’t unstable as going into it at a low angle. Hopefully this brief explanation helps.
@@cylewhittington5 iirc 80% (or action key 4) is only for
Great tutorial, I know you've been taking a break recently and I'm all for it.
honestlyy really helpful vid. it took me a long time to figure out the controls on ice by myself
This is a great breakdown of what to do, loved it!
Great maps for learning, thank you 🫶
Thank you soooo much Virtual I’ve been praying you’d make something like this one day your explanations are awesome 🤙🏻
Thank ya fam this did def help overall. Tryna practice a lot more.
these are essential, please do more!
Thanks for this one Wirtual! A great resource for current and future noobs to pick up techniques. Keen to see the wood guide and maybe something on snow car physics differences :D
I played this earlier and didn't know it came with a tutorial 🎉. I can't wait to do it again with these tips!
thank you so much! I am a new player and I'm particularly bad at ice so I needed this thank you!
I had a few friends asking me to explain ice slides to them, but glad I can now link to this! Thanks Wirtual
When a COTD has ice, I sometimes skip it and watch a pro because a good ice map is satisfying to watch when it has a good flow. Thanks for the video Wirtual!
I love this! Please do this for every surface!
Thanks so much for making this video, ice has been so annoying but after watching this its pretty fun. Just got my first ice author time on the winter campaign.
I do really hope this tutorial will help me mastered my ice skills. Thank you wirtual
thx for this video it helpt realy good with my ice skils i startet playing 6 months ago when i als stardet watching you and a did not know hou you need to do it but this video helpt me a lot thank you
tou make the best trackmaina videos keep the pace up
👍
This might sound silly, but I'd love a similar breakdown of what you're thinking about on the other materials - As a new player I find Grass to be almost as bizarre and unclear as Ice at times. This is great though, definitely will be coming back to it
Thank you for the awesome content.
I actually needed this I just started playing trackmania again
Organically learning ice, it took me ages to figure out releasing throttle snaps the car to the velocity vector. It honestly is so powerful realizing releasing and breaking are the most impactful on steering, and that knowledge transforms ice from awful to fun
Thank you for this Wirtual, I'd love to see a tutorial on Bobsleigh. Particularly entrance angles and points of entry. I always end up porpoising up and down the high style bobsleigh turns.
As a new player I really like learning the mechanics of the game.
Thanks for this video. I'm trying them but it's hard. Hope to see more of these to become a better player
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I tried to avoid ice tracks like a plague because I just couldn't do them. Now I can do some of them and I'm getting better. Even some of them I thought I'd never be able to do I've got author medals on. If you told me 6 months ago that I'd be able to achieve author medals I'd tell you you're crazy 😅. I've found explaining to myself why a part of the track wrong and what I can do to improve it helps. I'm nowhere near pro level but I'm definitely much better than I was when I started. Your perseverance also to complete maps is a massive motivation for me 😊
Thanks so much man ❤🎉
Oh wow, this was really helpful. I would love a Bobsleigh tutorial to tie up with this one ❤
Driving ice in TM is like swimming in real life. It can be hard to learn (definitly the case for me) but when you master it it becomes fun. I'm barely able to swim right now, bus basically as soon as I went from barely staying at the surface to getting forwards along the surface it started being fun.
Thank you for this video ! The "training" tracks in game just throws you in an ice map and expect you to understand how it works and it was so frustrating seeing my car spin out of control and not understand how it works.
Please make more content like this for drifting, etc. It's super useful as a new Trackmania player. 🙏
This is amazing and a great help, well done! I was wondering if you could make a similar video for speedsliding, because as a beginner I have no clue how that works
Thanks a lot, this video made me finally get gold on 24 after 20-30 minutes, saved 4 seconds on my previous best run. Can you imagine I never used the brake on ice before today? I feel much more consistent now, short track was pretty useful for practicing
I was just yesterday ice drifting with a real car for the first time. There seems to be a surprising amount of overlap with Trackmania and real world ice physics.
This has the same energy as “turn right to go left” from Cars, very informative Wirtual thank you so much for this
this video is so important, ice is easily the least intuitive surface, but once you learn it is really fun and satisfying
Actually so helpful! Can we get more, a tutorial series?
Thank you for this video! Was very helpfull!
I always skip ice maps on the campaign because i was very bad at it, after this video i went back to map 24 in the winter campaign , started with 14 sec away from AT, after 1.5 hours i got the AT!
Thank you Wirtual!
Good initiative!
Thank you very much! That's a big help. I'm new to the game and tried to understand the ice-map from the story and find a good line. And to be honest... I gave up for a few weeks. 🙈 I got the author medal but I want to understand it.
Now I'll try it again and hope to get a feeling for ice at one point.
Thank you very much!
I downloaded trackmania this campaign from watching your videos was struggling with ice in the campaign and the bobsleigh map I could not get it gold until yesterday when I jagged author time by sheer luck 😂
Would love to see more tips and tricks videos
NOW you post this?! ive been struggeling with 2023-23 all day!!
So, I finally understand why I was sliding out in the same turn in the ice TOTD a few weeks ago. My car was shifting from 3rd to 4th gear and I really didn't notice that until now. Really hated that turn for not understanding it lmao😂
Wow thank you! I love Ice maps, I nailed 2023 fall ice, recommend you to give it a try :)
I was trying to figure out the ice slide on my own, but I was missing the brake tap. Great video, time to practice!
Thank mr Wirtual!
I would love more tips on ice or just in general.
Very helpful - I've recently started and would love to see something on tech tracks. I think I'm slowly getting the hang of drifting, but I'm not even sure I know what a neo-slide is or how / when to do one.
Also ice isn't the toughest surface. I thought it was, but then I found wood as a keyboard player.
Great learning video. I learned a lot. And I don’t even play trackmania. Just like a few hours of testing it out..
The great thing about ice is that some basic foundational knowledge goes a REALLY long way to unlocking levels and relieving frustration. No doubt this video is gonna help so many folks!
wirtual is the goat, keep uploading man, you're carrying trackmania
Bro ain't streamed in a month and a half, trackmania still alive 💀
@@nukewurld his youtube videos on wirtual bring more attention to the game than anything else.
Camera 1!
It can help a lot with the ice slides.
This is straight up the main channel now
I don't play trackmania nor do I enjoy it but yes this is a video I am very interested in watching. Truly a wirtual classic
I swear ong I just searched for this video last week and hoped Wirtual had made a tutorial. Is there a specific time/day for twitch streams?
Casually top 8 world when demoing ice slides
Thank god, finally a tutorial for ice anyone can understand.
after throwing myself into the wall a whole bunch i got a vague sense for all of this but its nice to see it spelled out. the one major takeaway i got from this is that you really dont want to hold break. it really seems like you want to press break as little as possible when you do want to press it. that and release when changing direction
and release as little as possible too
As someone who sunk almost half of my TM playtime into Ice, I think of Ice as basically inverted controls. Holding accel and the opposite direction of a turn is a constant. Releasing taps is to make the turn wider. Brake taps is to make the turn tighter.
Example: You're ice sliding to the left (you're holding accel + right constantly). Brake is your "left" key, releasing is your "right" key.
However it clicks in your head, and whenever it finally clicks, it's super mega fun.
i've got about 100 hrs in trackmainia 2020 and 5 in nations forever. a few weeks back i literally just kept grinding the corner on the black difficulty ice track until i figured out why i was sliding out (shifting from 3rd to 4th). these are all things you can figure out with time but the one thing i wish this video covered was what to do when you mess up. if you do something late or overcorrect how do you recover from it. CAN you recover from it. noobs wont play pirfectly every time. unless thats just how trackmainia is meant to be played: be near pirfect or crash. saving yourself will be slow but crashing is slower
Cool tutorial!
I would like to see a tip on making consistently the correct angle of beginning of ice slide, because often in tracks like COTD you prepare the ice slide, but the angle of often too big or small to make the corner correctly. Release\break is an option to prevent it, but it loses a lot of speed or it makes it way worse.
In my experience it’s really something you just get better at over time and you get a feel for it practicing different ice tracks.
@@bobchugabu5288 its definitely something that comes naturally without thinking about it after you play a lot of ice maps.
Would love to see one that shows this through the tutorial maps of trackmania's official playlist. I think their first one is a bob sleigh and it's really hard to come into with no experience.
Like this tuorial we need more please.
I think my biggest frustration with ice is over-angling for a turn, it feels like there's no way to save it, I either have to eat the crash, pray a release doesn't slide-out or respawn (in COTD setting). These mistakes happen and it feels very painful when sometimes the difference between over-angling and not can be very small especially if you had a bad line from the previous corner. My best remedy so far is trying to angle as little as possible when first starting the slide and then utilising break to make it sharper, but it feels like a band-aid solution. If there's another way of saving situations where you over-angle I'd love to hear about it!
It is always better to start out wider and brake to tighten the line as needed. It is much easier to tighten your line than to widen it. This is a general tip that everyone uses rather than a band-aid so don't feel bad about it. As you improve, you will get more consistent at instantly flinging your car the right amount to begin a slide.
I have been watching for years and would love an overall tutorial for track mania nations forever. I know this is a little late as it was released over 15 years ago.
Watch the records on the three tracks get smashed because of how good this tutorial is
THANK YOU WIRTY CHAN
@WirtualTV I'm in the process of following some tutorials to get better at TM. is there a chance you can create a playlist with all current & future tutorials in it? Much appreciated, thanks.
That last map was my first cotd, when I had absolutely no idea what I was doing on ice. I even somehow switched to cam 2 without realizing.
Beautiful drift
By no means a masterclass, but definitely a solid course
thanks for the video! on a side note, does anyone know what jacket is that
I hope there is a tutorial video coming about gears. As soon as I heard that changing gears during an ice slide can make you slide out I lost hope since I have no idea how to tell what gear I'm in, much less control then in this game.
"And the last map that I think would help you master ice in Trackmania is a map called 'Dank Forever'."
For future videos can we have the inputs in a more central area?
I've never even played the game, i'll just watch anything this man puts out apparently
music choice was a bit samey. Very very annoying towards the end once I noticed it was the same loop for 10 minutes. Great tutorial though! I just started ice recently and this has helped me to understand it deeper!
very nice
Would be great you can do a series of analyzes "how to drive" for different tracks, maybe replays of old records of yourself.
I was just wondering how to git gud on ice myself, nice timing.
If you can do more tutorials as detailed as this it would be much appreciated. I myself am interested in joining trackmania someday but the learning curve seems steep.
I felt like that but over time it wasn't too bad. Yeah some tracks I struggle at and leave and go back to once I realise oh I can do that. I just play it for fun and I've learnt a lot just from playing
And only now I understood that Nadeo need to add some kind of gear marker in the interface or on the side of the car. Because on consoles you can't install any modes and now you can "see" gears only on the back of the car which is impossible when can always sideway.
it would be nice if in the video or description it says based on what ice patch this tutorial is. I heard the latest ice patch drastically changed some things?
Dude I suck on Ice. Thanks for making this!
Thank you very much, can you please do bobsleigh too? I struggle so much with it especially on console
Thanks for the tips Wirtual! Now that ice is done, lets do bobsleigh >: )
Can you put these tutorial videos into a playlist and link it in the description please?
imo there really needs to be an in-game tutorial where the game pauses, tells you what to do for the next turn then unpauses, lets you try it out and if you fail, it allows you to retry a specific turn. there is no way a new player is supposed to figure out what an iceslide even is, let alone how to actually control one. hell i've been watching wirtual for years and finally gave the game a go yesterday and i could not understand how to actually do an iceslide. it's far too unintuitive for new players, and the game needs some way to teach them without relying on the community. training maps just aren't good enough because they rely on you actually understanding what you have to do to begin with.
