"your car collides with the ground when it lands."
- Wirtual, PHD.
Lmao
I mean fair, but in this case it really is collide as in the models collide into each other instead of just landing on top.
good to know
@@Mrsuperdestroyer i mean fair, but the car landing on top is colliding
like "People die if they are killed"
Man giving such a great commentary while playing a precise racing game on a foreign language at 1 am.
Yeah I really enjoyed watching this guy he was so cool and composed it was impressive
Also, he plays on keyboard.
@@TecknoVicking well trackmania is unique where there is no benefit to keyboard or controller since turning and acceleration are binary instead of analog. I'm sure you knew but others may not
@@litapd311 That's where you're wrong. A controller allows for much more precise movement especially turning in a specific radius in a corner. The steering is completely analog. The reason why Wirtual uses a keyboard as his preferred steering input is simply because that's the method he's used to. He even at some point attempted to learn using a controller or at least improve at it on his stream but to no great success. This means he often has to turn-not-turn-turn during a corner to achieve the required cornering radius. The preferred controlling input in the top Tracknamia Esports leagues is the controller.
@@litapd311 Actually steering is analog, it just doesn't give you that much of advantage in stadium.
"It's quicker to hit the wall"
Me playing any racing game ever.
Me playing Forza Horizon 4. Specifically Rally.
Me playing the crew 2
Monaco no damage
"Trust me! I'm doing it on purpose!"
"Don't try that in real life, its a Trackmania exclusive"
@H3000 also rally drivers
The number of time while out driving I've been approaching a roundabout and thought to myself; "If I speed up, rather than slowing down, I could probably clip my outside front wheel on the curb and do a barrel roll letting me fly straight to exit 3, rather than go all the way around."
Remember, folks; drink driving laws are there for a _very_ good reason! 🍺🏎🚫
So, no breaking at all when flying with my car. Noted.
@@Varksterable that right there would probably save about 3 seconds
He is looking at the camera all the time he is loading maps, commenting everything. He must have practiced for this a lot. It really is impressive.
He does make youtube videos and streams a lot as well, so it definitely is a good skill he has picked up along the way.
He has a TH-cam channel and a twitch channel so commentating this game is something he is extremely good at
well he is a streamer so hes used to commenting while doing runs
He's a trackmania streamer, it's basically what he does every day :p
On top of what others have said, he did complete the entire game blindfolded. The series is posted on his channel and is tons of fun to watch.
Wirtual should really go into the "Hall Of Fame" for best speedrun commentators. The fact that he did this in his second language, perfectly synced with Nichole the entire time with the donations, AND managed to explain not only the regular strats of the game but also _all of his mistakes too._ Easily one of the best if not THE best of SGDQ 2020.
29:07 casually sips drink as if he’s watching someone else drive instead of him.
Next up: doing all of this blindfolded.
Wirtual has indeed done it blindfold th-cam.com/video/GCZx2bbZVxE/w-d-xo.html
He's already done that: th-cam.com/video/GCZx2bbZVxE/w-d-xo.html
as others have said he's already done it blindfolded. he's also done a challenge where you beat the game without turning right
Next up: doing it blindfolded, driving backwards, doing only right turns? Wouldn’t surprise me if he already did that too haha
Gas pedal, brake and turning are on the arrow keys by default. you can play one handed.
I can't believe that he is playing this well and giving such a great commentary at the same time. This is really impressive.
Andrew Malkin both wirtual and Riolu_tm is super good at commenting while playing, awesome streamers
Also, he's on keyboard.
It’s so nuts
@@TecknoVicking pretty much everyone plays on computer and a controller functions in the same way so i don't see you point
@@wolf-xf6hf racing/driving games are almost always played on controller; even if run on pc. the reason why controller is easy is due to a joystick having more nuanced control in steering as opposed to clicking a key on a keyboard
1:17:04 "Which saves 3 seconds" man this dude had to frame perfect bounce from across the map and all he saves is 3 damn seconds
Not even just frame perfect, practically RNG perfect too!
Trust me, 3 seconds is A LOT of time when battling for track WRs in this franchise
In Trackmania, 3 seconds can be huge! On some of the custom tracks 0.2 seconds or less can be the difference between the world record, or the 30th best record.
the most impressing thing about this is that he had to drive the three laps before...
So he just gets one chance to try the bug every three laps that have to perfectly driven as well:)
3 seconds are like a century in TM. This game has an incredible skill ceiling.
"1 in a million bug and angle"
"saves 3 seconds"
3 seconds are much in this game
trackmania wr hunters will do 3 hours of playing the same track to a 00.02 shortcut
Welcome to trackmania
@@eduardoalbornoz2718 only 3 hours?
@@keeeeevin1474 more
This is one of those games that's much harder than it looks....great to watch an expert at it!
as someone who has put a lot of time into trackmania (i loved the custom track builder) it was shocking to see him casually take a sip of his drink while driving at high speeds, i would've crashed into walls 7 times at that part while not taking a sip and he just cruised through like it was nothing
@@SleepyPitou You need to put in so many hours to get as good as Wirtual. Right now I'm hunting gold for every track, and this guy gets the author medal with ease 95% of the time. It takes usually about 2 hours to get gold for each track and 2-3 more hours to get author medal on top of that. Imagine how much hours this guy has put in to do it effortlessly.
@@Atlas-gz9tk i dont know about those times. They Seem a Bit too high i currently have 32 hours in tmnf and got all the authors beside e05 and e03
@@lottimex lol my dude you are just talented as fuck
@@simonuser or the other guy is just bad at video games lol when i started tmnf it didnt take too long to get authors nowhere near 2 hours for golds lool
He's even looking in the camera when commentating, what a legend
If you guys are so interested in his amazing commentary skill. You’ll be amazed at the quality of his videos.
so true, some of his videos are better then documentaries.
@@crazybeatrice4555 Just wait for him to talk about the pyramids in a main video :>
That was one of the most professional speedruns I've ever scene.
yeah
*seen
That's what happens when the runner is also a TH-camr making videos about the history of the game as well as a tournament caster :)
@@Volvary yup. A professional gamer through and through
*seen**
Wow, this guy NEEDS to come to GDQ next year! One of the most enjoyable speedruns and commentary I've seen from any game! :D
Great job!
thanks for donations ing
He did such an amazing run AND did all of that commentary by himself (which, in my opinion, was very informative and easy to follow), honestly he did such a great job! And the shortcut showcase really blew me away too~
do you have time stamps?
21:55 this tongue twister was clutch
Talk about expertise. Hes not even trying and english is not his native language. Not a stutter or pause in his speech.
He's Norwegian, isn't really surprising. I'm danish and my grasp of the english language is better than most native speakers, i'm fairly certain the same applies to most if not all scandinavian countries. Not saying we all speak perfect english, but those of us who grew up learning it definitely do.
As a non-native English speaker his English is much easier to understand than American's one
@@user-wo5ug7sl9z That's probably because native speakers tend to use more advanced vocabulary.
@@Toopa88 Not really "advanced". More like we slurr a lot and use a lot of colloquialisms. I'm working really hard to use proper English as I detest the language as a native speaker.
@@xPLAYnOfficial indeed, I would say non natives use way less colloquialisms than natives. Coming from a non native who has been to and talked to Americans/ British people
I remember playing this game with my friend, we would be so happy when we managed to get an author medal on a track... and here's this guy, who casually gets them on most tracks in a single try.
While sipping water and doing precise comments about the tracks
single try lol..
Random fact: He also mostly gets author medals on newly released tracks from Trackmania2020. Good lord.
@@Kyun9432 I mean, there comes a point when you've seen every turn on every surface a thousand times. So if the game doesn't throw an unexpected jump to the side at you, you can usually find the best line on each track just from experience. (not saying I could lol)
Having worked extensively with driving mechanics in games, I can to the best of my ability explain why the collision bugs he shows off in the end happens.
You see that the car is in a state of controlled drift while on the back wheels. Often driving code keeps a separate offset vector for controlled drifts, as relying on the computed physics friction on the wheels is too unreliable. I assume when the car is drifting on its rear wheels, the offset points it to move sideways, but the racing code has been designed to ZERO out the offset vector if the car collides with a wall.
So all the speed for the car goes along the velocity vector + offset vector, the front wheel clears the wall, but the bottom side collides with the wall, removing offset vector from the velocity direction, sending the car flying directly forwards in relation to its orientation.
I hope someone finds this educational.
Thanks for the explanation
I love learning about how certain game mechanics and why bugs work and I love coding, thank you for commenting this it is very interesting.
Thank you for your detailed explanation on a possible implementation of this bug. I really appreciate it!
wdym
wow thanks
I really like this announcer's voice
"Absolutely!" - Nichole Goodnight
@@bennyelsensohn9299 "...Yeah!" -Wirtual.
"Can Confirm"
- Sun Tzu, The Art Of War: Chapter 10 Verse 4
I could listen to this dude's voice forever
the runner and the host have great chemistry, its lovely to witness
nichole goodnight is more pro that it seems at first
My man Wirtual banging out Auth medals first try like they're nothing
Gave this a thumbs up after a few mins and then when I got to the end went to thumbs up and got super disappointed I couldnt thumbs up again. Great run and commentary, thanks so much 👍
Unreal to think anout how the bugslide engine off D-07 skip was found AFTER this amazing run.
Man, Wirtual is so cool. So skilled, so well spoken. Seems like a really awesome guy and this run was just fantastic
On the 19th of Augst 2020 the player "Wirtual" would play the game "Trackmania Nations Forever" for GDQ doing an all tracks no E05 playthough and he got... *this* run
why doesn't anyone talk about how good this game looks for being released in 2008
Ikr?! The graphics are timeless in this game.
@ yeah its like its meant to be that way or else it will look bad, but NEW Trackmania looks spectacular with new surfaces and and special blocks(like engine off block that you saw).
You're ignoring the fact that the game is flat as fuck.
@@ElectricalSwift I'm not sure what you mean by that. The maps have many hills and inclines, and even if they didn't, it doesn't mean it's a bad game.
racing games usually look good for their time cause the devs don't have to focus as much on character animation and other stuff like that
I used to play United semi-"professionally" so long ago, but anytime I see a REAL pro play this game I'm just in absolute awe. Amazing run!
Edit: HOLD UP? THIS LEGEND PLAYS WITH A KEYBOARD? My eternal respect to you good sir.
This game was made to play with a keyboard, the developers set out to do it that way. I never played it with a steering wheel, but this is very different compared to other racing games. :)
@@oonmm I ain't talking about a steering wheel mate. I'm talking plain xbox controller. Get the fine steering in there to squeeze out some .0xx of a course. It's how I played.
For pro players, it is around 50/50 split between keyboard and controller. Neither has a big advantage, it's mostly just preference.
Birb Not really true. Only in some specific cases. Usually the difference is 0.0x max. If the difference was that big, this guy would not be as competitive as he is
@@mightymaniac8712 In the new game the difference is bigger at times, on bobsleigh ice its massive as in like half a second at times. and being able to noslide on dirt or grass for hunting makes a massive difference aswell. For TMGL tho? It really doesnt matter since it usually isnt about those 0.1x seconds in the end
I hope this run gets more people in the game.
Spoiler alert it did
Wirtual getting the algorithm on his side, and I'm one of the recent people getting into the game because of him. It's sick :^)
I got turned on to Wirtual through the algorithm about one or two months ago. After binging Wirtual for many hours I decided to pick up TMNF myself a week ago, and now I'm just checking this to see someone not crash and burn on literally any turn in a red track. That difficulty spike is no joke.
IMO one of the best gdq runs ever, excellent job all around by Wirtual
we spent HOURS in the hot seat mode of this game, we would set a laptop on our club, with 3 mins of play each and play only white tracks. Those are the easiest, but everybody was trying to get those 0.0X seconds to improve and not be the last. Ah, the memories!
That was such an amazing run! Great commentary and very impressing skills. I'm glad I caught this run live!
This really is an amazing run with amazing commentary and execution. Pinnacle of what GDQ Online can be!
I'm blown away by the GDQ community. I've been watching for years and the generosity of these people never ceases to amaze me! the amount of research that has been done because of these donations... i'm at a loos for words. ty GDQ
One of the best commentary in GDQ history, well done !
I remember watching it during the livestream and being in total awe at Wirtual's skill and simultaneous commentary, and now I'm watching it again and feeling the same
Amazing run!!!
Glad to see trackmania finally included! Such an underrated game. If it had more exposure I’m sure many other people would play it
I know it has been said multiple times but holy shit this guy is the real deal, great commentary with an effortless exhibition of skill. Superb video
39:18 If only he knew!
Haha rewatching it (yet again) I had the same thought.
This dude FLEXING every time he sips water... I’m like “woah, buddy! both hands on the steering wheel!”
This is the same guy that beat this game blindfolded
This is the also the same guy who beat the game without turning right once.
This man brought 2 glasses of water. The preperation haha
I didn't thought of it until you pointed it out lol
Wirtual absolutely killed it :)
I spent so many hours, probably thousands of hours on this game back in the day. This brings back memories.
Wow, this GDQ run is just pure second to second dopamine.
Yo how can he talk and play the game at the same time I can barely get through this game at all.
If you have an author medal on every map I'm impressed
Whats an author medal
@@Bobbystheboy you get the author medal when you beat the map creator's time on the map
@@Bobbystheboy it's a medal given by beating the time set by whoever created the track
This was my introduction to trackmania world records and stuff and since i first watched this I've been hooked to watching Wirt's videos
i watched the whole thing and i never watch whole things, it's mesmerising
Bring Wirtual back this year! Just so good:)
Donators speedran that donation incentive, got WR too.
Lol Wirtual casually drinking water, listening to Nicole reading out donations and killing the track like it's nothing
Edit: Timestamp 28:50
this man literally doing tutorial and tips%
the production value of this one was through the roof
I- I- I cant believe what am I seeing!! :O this is awesome!
WOW. MIND BLOWN.
It should be illegal to make it look so easy...
An hour of jam-packed Trackmania content!
He did such a great job presenting and showcasing the game, with all of its features, quirks, bugs and strategies.
It sounds scripted! And maybe it was - but to deliver it so smoothly and effortlessly... Wirtual, my hat is off to you. Masterful performance.
One of the best runs I've seen on gdq. Great commentary!
Amazing run by a great runner! Great races, good explanations, nice host as well! Was very fun to watch!
i like coming back to this run just to enjoy it like a glass of fine wine. wirtual casually clocking up author times like they're nothing. nice run!
this guy is an absolute professional, put in a mad run with solid commentary
He makes such great content, love this man.
Never played this game but happy I found his TH-cam channel not too long ago, fun to watch, and good quality delivered!
It was a really nice run. Humble guy and an unusual game genre in the speedrun world- at least for me.
I am here for soulslike games but really enjoyed this run! Thank you 🙏
Ayy, my man Wirtual made it PogU
Yes
The announcer's voice straight up sounds like its from an airport/theme park
This was really good. Great commentary, great gameplay, and great interaction with the donation reader. Just all around enjoyable!
fantastic run, amazing commentary, and that showcase!!! i mean wtf these WRs are untouchable!
I think this is the fourth time I've watched this run, absolutely amazing performance from Wirtual, both with gameplay consistency and quality commentary. Wirtual is just on another level
Casually racking up author medals while chatting casually and speed running. When I get an author medal, it's a 4 hour celebration! LOL
I grew up playing the very first trackmania game that I bought at a book fair in middle school. I continued playing the game up until the release of nations. I remember being the 2nd person in the world to get 1 reset on the hardest course in platform mode. Unfortunately, by the time that I got 0 resets, I was like 20th. Such a fun game series. Edit: Those shortcuts were fantastic!
They should keep doing some runs online for these events. This guy is awesome
This is very satisfying to watch. Great commentary from Wirtual and obviously amazing driving.
Wirtual is literally the best at explaining things. He has such clear explanations for why he’s doing things AS he’s doing them, without ever missing a beat!
I don't know how. But this was so genuinely impressive. Consitent gameplay. Clear and helpful commentary for those like me who don't know the game.
Great chemistry with the second commentator.
So proud to be a Norwegian👍👍
Awesome speedrun, I enjoyed every minute of it
This game is just consistently one of my favorites, despite how simple it is.
Amazing run and commentary. I'm not sure why I never watched it but today it finally happened.
21:57 Nichole Goodnight DESTROYS a donator trying to make her trip up on her words
downright therapeutic, love the laid back commentary
Loved the shortcase showcut!
Somehow I watched the whole thing. This was surprisingly entertaining
Great commentary, love watching your clips bro keep up the hard work
I love how quickly the donation incentive got met, it shows how immediately entertaining Wirtual and this game is to watch
awesome run, can't believe he can commentate that well while playing like a pro!
my untrained eye still doesn't get the landing bug lol, so you just lose a tiny bit of speed randomly?
yes randomly
yeah, sometimes it happens. It happens more often on dirt and if you land on a seam. It is very frustrating to us pro players when we are going for wr's
yes, imagine the car clipping into the ground and colliding with an invisible wall. obviously the car shouldnt go through the ground, thats why its a bug
yep you got it. Wirtual's landing bugs weren't super noticeable but sometimes they can drop like half your speed and send you into flips and stuff haha
Yeah basically a landing bug is just a big speed loss while landing, the car kinda goes through the road for a split second and the game takes this as a wall hit while it is not. It does not happen too often on most tracks but some of them are known to be the famous “pro killers” as he said. Thankfully the newer games do not have as many c:
Really good job! Calm and collected, no BS. Actually one of my favorite GDQ vids, and i dont even like the game.
This was enjoyable. Thank you very much.
I honestly respect the announcer for trying to sound enthusiastic for an hour.
sweet run and amazing showcase :D
It bothered me so much that C-07 was incomplete i kept it in mind the hole run. It turns out it was only that he got the silver medal so it was hard to see.
Anyways, it was really cool run. Hooked me from begging to end.
Awesome job as a runner and as a host 👋👋👋
I was waiting for this!
I couldn't stop watching
I have never played this game, but i have watched liked every video of Wirtual. Dude makes this game look fun, but also overwhelming to get into this late.
This run is impossible. I wonder how many people know how godly this is
The wall climbs especially he makes look so simple - I've tried like 50 times and still haven't managed to do one on purpose!
Wirtual did a fantastic job. Great commentary while playing!
so this is what competitive hot wheels is like
Nichole sounds like a classical radio DJ
This guy is really in his element here. He can really hold an audience!
