I used to main Funky Kong Spear back in the day; the speed on it was insane, and playing on Automatic was a good way to combat the low drift stat! I've switched to Funky Kong Flame Runner since then after switching to Manual!
@@mikelegowski6103I was referring to the 27 second advantage Memer had. I agree tbh most of Troy’s teams are highly competitive clan members/time trialers.
@@mikelegowski6103Tbf Brodie scored well this flounderfest, nearly as much as Empex, while he was on the losing team. Even overall I would rank him somewhere in between Hafer and MuchCreepz probably. Anyways, generally spoken you've got a point.
No disrespect to Nick but having Troy captain the team is an automatic advantage :) I wonder how things would turn out if you guys form the teams giving Troy a slight disadvantage in teammate skill level (if that is even possible)
28:43 Troy’s advice definitely proves why having a Funky Kong brigade is more dominant than a random heavyweight character brigade! His advice proves he’s correct!
I'd really prefer it if tracks were auto-selected. I feel like these vehicle clan wars don't truly represent one vehicle's strengths versus another because its the same formula every time -- whichever team has the better offroad stat but slower vehicle just picks Shy guy beach, sherbet land, etc., and the other team picks straight, easy tracks that favor the faster, heavier, less maneuverable vehicle. I think it would be much more interesting to match up against each other on a random sample of courses rather than a super biased sample.
unfortunately true, it would be better with host votes on. Host vote causes disconnections however, so I'm assuming that is why it isn't being used. It's a shame because the wars have become formulaic as result. A lot of the same tracks being picked each video because a lot of the vehicles strengths and weaknesses overlap.
@@Araiii It likely will be fixed in future updates. I'm just glad Troy is tracking this. But you're right. Also, W pfp. Favorite anime of all time. Loving the new season too!
@@sawmill035 Troy has listened to your comment !!! Last night's taping had players pick random so we wouldn't have the same tracks picked each event. Let's gooo. :D
I've always thought Kalimari should have a golden mushroom only shortcut where is you take the train tracks 2nd time you drive over them, you can boost until a small ramp jumps you to the right back on to the straight part at the end
I find it interesting that a handling-adjacent stat really matters in this game. I’m an 8DX player, where handling and traction just don’t really matter, or at the very least, good combos are going to have enough so that you really don’t have to worry about it at all.
yeah 8DX is pretty much the opposite in terms of stats that matter, the only stat that's important in both games is miniturbo I think, offroad too but in Wii it's honestly more of a gimmick like inside/outside drift rather than an actual stat lol
Alright fellas, let me read off MarioWiki for your and Troy's vehicles. The Phantom boasts high weight and especially offroad. However it suffers the worst drift stat out of all vehicles in the entire game. All its other stats are pretty much in the middle, comparable to any Standard Kart or Bike. Its medium-weight counterpart, the Zip Zip, features a similar stat distribution except lower weight. Also, Funky Kong's Phantom makes me crave ice cream for some reason. That part's not on the wiki. The Spear has the highest base top speed of all bikes in the game, and the second highest of all vehicles, topped only by its kart counterpart, the Jetsetter (by "base top speed" I am excluding wheelies). Its medium and small counterparts are the Sneakster and the Jet Bubble. Like other large vehicles, the Spear's weight is also very good. However, literally all its other stats are poor. Not even average, just poor. I always find it funny how Troy says it has good accel, but no it's not "good" it's just a little better than the Flame Runner lol the Standard Kart L can out-accelerate it. The Spear is called the Torpedo in the PAL regions, which makes it one of the few instances where I prefer a PAL name. Because it sure looks more like a torpedo than a spear.
Outside drift isn’t really bad. It’s worse than inside drift don’t get me wrong, but it’s just the bikes with it have terrible drift stats, phantom is the prime example, so it’s a bit underrated
Put orange my for outside drift bikes. Also if Troy wants a challenge he'll like a mod which can change first race starting positions and try starting in last
spear heavily outperforms the phantom its not even close, if ya wanted 2 have a more fair match then maybe replacing the spear with the wario bike woulda been good as its also outside drift and has a drift stat of only 3. or the offroader with its drift stat of 2
I mightve seen some weird brightness glitches like 2 times the whole vid for only like half a second each so if it was happening the whole vid it might be you

Deserved the shoutout!
Thanks for this. You deserve a heart plus more!
Tiny error, missed the closing parenthesis next to Nick's total points
This is really cool
@@awsmrs Thanks for catching, will fix that
I auto piloted so hard end of gp2 and gp3 LOL. It was to a point where I didn't even know we played BC1 xP
Does this mean you were not trying hard? Or just that you know the tracks super well?
Hey zpl your discord link ain’t working for my just fyi
Oddly appropriate PFP
@@djibytop6724 Opposite of the first. If he's on autopilot, he's in the zone
I have retro rewind BUT WERES HYRULE CIRCUIT AND THE AUTO UPDATE HOW DOES THAT WORK ZPL!!!! HOW!!!!
26:05 That poor King Boo on the blue team lmao
34:52 Funky Kong Dancing will never get old…LET’S GO!!!!
Absolutely. It never.. ever.. will
SO READY FOR THIS ONE TROY LETS GO
21:48 “PICK UP THE PACE!!!!” That is definitely considered “NMeade Territory!”
23:12
Troy: I've been in first place for 0.002 seconds.
Nick: And I took that personally.
😆
12:28 He said it! He said the thing
0:05 me when someone asks who’s that guy with the moving castle
It’s always great to see a flounderfest upload when I’m eating a sandwich
so uhh are we just not gonna talk about parkway
Why what wrong
what happened
I used to main Funky Kong Spear back in the day; the speed on it was insane, and playing on Automatic was a good way to combat the low drift stat! I've switched to Funky Kong Flame Runner since then after switching to Manual!
I main Birdo or Yoshi Mach Bike, and the Heavy Weight Mii Flamerunner. I use a Mii who is loosely based on a TH-camr who is a milkbag.
9:22 me when I heard the high note anyway cause I watched both videos at once
I just realized i’ve been watching you guys play for like 13 years, I used to watch your Flow clan wars all the way back in the day!
25:48 TWD98 the lag master…confirmed!
Now that Memer is gone, it’s fair game for both teams!
@@mikelegowski6103I was referring to the 27 second advantage Memer had. I agree tbh most of Troy’s teams are highly competitive clan members/time trialers.

@@mikelegowski6103 I can get behind that. Nick’s teams always have such ass players.
@@callmecolby I'm coming back soon buddy and you're gonna cry about it 😀
@@TKS_Memer I have better things to do with my life than worry about some 13 year old boy sabotaging a video game lobby with his McDonald’s wifi.
Note to self: never ping NMeade on Troy's Discord to ask him what track to pick

I think we will do a mix in future wars with some randomized to prevent this

Interesting idea to purposely handicap yourself in some of the worst ways possible. Loved the video, Nick and Troy!
This certified classic is a certified spear classic
Half of Nicks team were no names and are always at the very bottom of the rankings, I feel like the player balancing on this one wasn’t very balanced
I mean he had Brodie
Its so fun to watch and now knowing i can play online too thanks to your Guide ❤🎉
I missed seeing Funky Kong dance at the end of your videos I am glad you brought it back along with Founder Fest.
I love opening a TWD video and learning something new about a 16 year old game. Somehow I never knew you could steer the Bullet Bill.
I think Matutino on NMeade's team should be interesting as Empex is in Troy's team.
this is a certified where is sherk classic
Fr
It feels just like yesterday the first ever flounder fest episode came out 😢
Piranha Prowler vs Quacker clan war?
Quacker clears because inside drift, piranha prowler vs bit bike would be a better matchup lol
17:44 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a certified hood classic
My Monday night just got brightened up!
DANCING FUNKY KONG LETS GOO!!
thank you for bringing back flounderfest
Two absolute legends
Next week gotta be Quacker vs Magikruiser
I've always thought Kalimari should have a golden mushroom only shortcut where is you take the train tracks 2nd time you drive over them, you can boost until a small ramp jumps you to the right back on to the straight part at the end
This is a certified Clan War classic!
It certainly is Zach
It was at this moment that Zach knew he f'cked up!
cant wait for Brodie to break it down on the MAGIKRUISER next episode
I find it interesting that a handling-adjacent stat really matters in this game. I’m an 8DX player, where handling and traction just don’t really matter, or at the very least, good combos are going to have enough so that you really don’t have to worry about it at all.

Get your battery boxes into race mode this Earth Day. Another episode of flounder fest has premiered.
I kinda liked the friendly fire feature in vanilla team vs
Has there been a fest yet without Sherbet Land?
I'd love to see a one off gp or session of 50cc or 100cc, just curious what slow races are like
I do not have Retro Rewind, but I would love to join one of your fun rooms sometime
i feel so bad for you troy i saw a video called twd98 fail
ip moments that made me feel your pain

I expect the episode coming out in 2 weeks to be completely random items since it’s the 7th episode of the season
I’m interested to see when standard bike M will get picked… I feel like that’s a major sleeper pick out of what’s left
Considering the Brake drift difference, would like to see the Sneakster redeem itself
FlounderFes7! Troy 3/7 Nick 1/7 can Nick make the comeback
Are you guys going to do more challenges using the winners of these?
i can't wait for cheepcharger vs quacker
i hope flounderfest isnt always just retro rewind
Outside drift isn’t really bad. It’s worse than inside drift don’t get me wrong, but it’s just the bikes with it have terrible drift stats, phantom is the prime example, so it’s a bit underrated
28 days until i can get retro rewind (i have to wait until after finals are over)
Lets go flounder fest ! Good luck guys
I mean Nick's team would've probably done a lot better if they hadn't got Atomik on their team, that guy sucks lol
Ngl WizardDoge was also pretty bad too lol
Hey Troy when summer break starts I shall join a flounder fest :)
Put orange my for outside drift bikes. Also if Troy wants a challenge he'll like a mod which can change first race starting positions and try starting in last
I miss TKS Memer 🙁
Track counter picks are the best
Well done!
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe episode of Flounder Fest?
Dancing funky kong!!
great format
Wassup my Felllas im back with my RIIIIIIIIIIIIIVALL NICOLAS
spear heavily outperforms the phantom its not even close, if ya wanted 2 have a more fair match then maybe replacing the spear with the wario bike woulda been good as its also outside drift and has a drift stat of only 3. or the offroader with its drift stat of 2
Amazing video love it!
i want you to use magikruiser bam shock combo and Nick to use quacker:D
There's Empex.
I NEVER GET TO PLAY WITH YOU WAHHHH
Dam, i didn't even realize this was a new video
Can't wait for Karts
What would Super Blooper vs Cheep Charger be like?
That was a cool war.
The goat has posted
Karts vs karts!!!!
Why is your webcam gone?
can u do sprinter 150cc or 200cc or 400cc knockout plz troy
1001 Spikes
Hi Troy! Hi Nick!
Nicks team should be blue for hydration nation and Troy should always be red for bodation nation. Just make more sense as the viewers prospective
Bodation Nation 100%
I’d love to see more mk8d
Can you do a feather challenge next time Troy?
You need to play more battle mode
Awsome!
I smell modding :)
Poor Waluigi
Screw it, video 1 of please do a Formula Kart Wii video.
Nice
35:16
35:10
What’s with the brightness of the video fluctuating this bad
Might be your tv?
@@TWD98I don’t thinks so. I’m on my phone and I’m in full screen mode. Just the vids fluctuating
I mightve seen some weird brightness glitches like 2 times the whole vid for only like half a second each so if it was happening the whole vid it might be you
🤓 Uhhm acsualy the spear dont have the worst drift so it would be the offroader vs the phantom🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Wheres poof?
Day 580 of asking Troy for a collab with Zakziko
