You said in an earlier video that your TV was flickering off when playing mk, right? That happened to me too and it was because I had the switch laying in the dock and not standing upright, if you have the dock laying down right now just put it upright so gravity pushes the switch in the dock, it seems like a very small change but it worked for me so just try it I guess.
Troy not realizing that the reason Michael won on twisted mansion is that he subconsciously looked at the map, noticed Michael just used a star, and then Bam! Shock Dodge!-ed him is amazing
@@TWD98 Troy, just take the compliment. That was all you. You carried that race. You dodged him completely 100% on purpose, all calculated, total skill.
Did anyone else notice at 13:05 Troy's teammate (the dark blue Yoshi) used his star just before Troy's shock went off and went on to get 1st place?! Troy, your timing was impeccable!
Bruh 18:56 Troy throws the blue shell, not realizing his teammate just used a star to get to first, but the GOAT Michael is able to MUSHROOM DODGE WHILE TAKING SHORTCUT TO SECURE FIRST LIKE HOLY
3:19 I like it when Troy uses the bullet bill at the exact same time the shock is used to dodge it! Everything was perfectly executed to pull off a clutch third place finish!
19:05-19:26 I like it when Troy makes both of his predictions made correctly when he asks for a bullet bill, predicts that a shock will occur any second, and insists that the game loves him at the end of the race! The fact that Troy keeps commentating while focusing on the final lap of the race is that it makes him a great Mario Kart play-by-play announcer for his expertise of pure Mario Kart skills!
As one of the creators of this 200cc Lounge and someone who used to frequently play this mode, seeing it grow to the calibur to have you try it out is awesome! Great to see more people try out this underrated competitive mode. A huge tip I have is to utilize smart steerting more, as a lot of competitive players will quickly throw it on at the end of their bullet bills if they are being thrown in an awkward spot, and also if they want to use shrooms around extremely sharp turns (like the S turns on Neo Bowser City). Overall though you played pretty well and showed a lot of potential honestly. Thanks for trying out our lounge! :)
@@MD.1111 Smart steering is an overall large detriment to keep on in competitive lobbies so ofc it's allowed. It keeps you on the road, which every competitive 200 player can do without it, and limits your mt and ability to take niscs. It's a handicap when you start out but against good players it's only restrictive (besides quick toggles on/off) Good comparison is imagine using training wheels in a cycling competition lol, I assume it's allowed because at that level it provides no advantage, only harm.
Lowkey was not expecting you to do too hot, but you killed it! 6th place and 80+ points in a room that stacked is nothing to sneeze at. Would love to see more MK8 lounge videos
200 CC Mario Kart is great, I love to watch it ! Having some inside drift biking content would be amazing though, we want to see those MKW lines you master so well.
A little tip if the curves are too tight for a drift, you can press B while drifting to brake a bit in the drift, but make sure you don't press B for too long, otherwise your drift will be interrupted, but you can briefly press B several times in a drift Press
I actually like and prefer when you get quiet and focus because it helps me in a weird way focus with you. I prefer watching no commentary’s because I get a little annoyed when someone just talks and non-stop. So I like and appreciate that you are okay with just saying “I’ll be quiet because I need to focus”
Love watching you play competitive stuff, it actually makes Deluxe enjoyable to watch, since imo the game isn't a good game for viewership casually. Would love to see you play more 2v2s in Wii with Nick!
your gameplay is crazy troy i was so lost into it imo ur the best mario kart player for sure. i get ur struggling, maybe play the event without talking and in full focus mode then do a voice over commentary afterwards? just an idea i think it’ll be interesting
you deserve more subs man, for the amount of content you put out every week and the quality of the content you deserve so much more attention on YT. Keep being you!
I am loving how your content is getting way more diverse, I love seeing you pushed to your limits playing against the best players in MK8D Lounge community, proving that you are a very skillful player. I can not wait to the next Lounge event you are participating. I would be #1 fan of Road to Gold or Ruby in Lounge series if you are willing to do so.
I've just watched it closely and indeed is very weird what happened there, as he went from static in the last positions to first in a single frame (i suppose you are talking about the luigi not the brazilian NANA who was racing using link)
@@tufab3494 Yeah, it looks like the player fell of the bridge, respawned hitting the wall, disappeared into last place statically, and then teleported to first. Maybe he lagged out and the game thought he drove off, it respawned him and where he should have been for a fall off, and then when he reconnected it corrected to his offline position?
Watching you play Lounge is surreal. I'm surprised you did so well. Rod recently did a lounge video but said he doesn't like playing Lounge because of the difficulty and feeling like he's letting a teammate down. 😭
I'm pretty sure you can tell if a communication error will happen if the Item boxes rolls are slower than usual, I'd say 50% of times where my items are slower than usual i get a communication error
Would love to see you do more comp MK8DX stuff. 150cc or 200cc lounge, maybe dive into the world of 6v6 again? You have a good mental and a lot you can easily improve on
As someone who dabbled a bit in 200cc lounge, I can safely say it’s probably the most brutal thing about this game (probably because I get pitted against literal WR holders half the time). You did amazing for the first time (although it’s probably due to those shock dodges that allowed you to score well).
I consider myself a good Mario kart player getting first place trophy on all 200cc tracks, but this… I think I would get last in just about all of these
This was impossible

Love you vids Troy
Actually did pretty well considering the competition. Did get some insane item luck tho lol.
cool

Got a question what Nintendo switch do you use for Mario kart

I didn't know what was going on most of the time, it was just pure chaos
@@TWD98 Troy, just take the compliment. That was all you. You carried that race. You dodged him completely 100% on purpose, all calculated, total skill.
@@TWD98 its the practice from all the shock dodging over the years, you know to do it subconsciously by now, absolute W play that saved the race
@@TWD98 how do you know if you are no 1
Did anyone else notice at 13:05 Troy's teammate (the dark blue Yoshi) used his star just before Troy's shock went off and went on to get 1st place?! Troy, your timing was impeccable!
I noticed, I was praying that he would use it as Michael was in the star. He saved the whole race just then.
Bruh 18:56 Troy throws the blue shell, not realizing his teammate just used a star to get to first, but the GOAT Michael is able to MUSHROOM DODGE WHILE TAKING SHORTCUT TO SECURE FIRST LIKE HOLY
I SAW THAT AND IMMEDIATELY CAME TO THE COMENTS so glad someone else noticed the insane skill too
Goat michael

You're allowed to use smart steering in lounge?
@@MD.1111 Yup! You can turn it on/off very quickly if you hit the buttons fast
@@MD.1111 yes you’re allowed to, however in most instances it’s a disadvantage to use it, but in the situations I listed it can be extremely helpful

What lounge is it? I like to think I’m pretty good but I’d like to test it 😅
This is Competitive Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 😤
Hmm
I just subscribed to your channel
Sup JP
Hi JPGiviner

Love how you dodged your teammate on Twisted Mansion without even realizing it. The BAM shock dodge flows through your veins.
I felt like he played flawlessly, and then you check his position and he's 8th, this is insanity
I need the pro perspective
Its amazing how far having different characters/kart combinations having similar or the same stats can do for lobby diversity.
This is a certified hood classic
Thanks shrek! (Please spare my family.)
Who’s hood in the video?

13:03 clutch shock for Michael to get first
Cannot believe you entertained me for 20 minutes, Great video and good job!
13:00 not sure if it was intentional or not but dodging the teammate and paving the way for their 1st place was 🤌
You did such a great job! I was the yoshi bike user, it was so fun to play with you
yeaa!! finaly! i hope the next video will be JPGiviner in call with you and coaching you during an event
congrats on keeping pace with these pros troy!
your gameplay is crazy troy i was so lost into it imo ur the best mario kart player for sure. i get ur struggling, maybe play the event without talking and in full focus mode then do a voice over commentary afterwards? just an idea i think it’ll be interesting
The best player? definitely untrue. But he's the only Mario Kart youtuber I enjoy watching and sink my time into.
@@FLXEP true he’s not the best in mk8d but he’s done some crazy shit on mkwii 400cc that just blew my fuckin mind
@@Provibin he isnt near the best in mkw either lol hes good at both but nowhere near the best in any of them
you deserve more subs man, for the amount of content you put out every week and the quality of the content you deserve so much more attention on YT. Keep being you!
13:04, Troy dodging his teammate, totally intentional XD
7:30 That looked very clean!
famous last words in mario kart, “we’re back in this”.

That was such a stressful video to watch hahaha
Anyone else see nana teleport on the minimap from 10:16-10:18 after hitting a wall at 10:15?
That's probably lag or checkpoint glitch
I've just watched it closely and indeed is very weird what happened there, as he went from static in the last positions to first in a single frame (i suppose you are talking about the luigi not the brazilian NANA who was racing using link)

there is also as suspicious respawn of link at 3:28
Amazing how you pulled some of those shortcuts off. This Shrek 5 was very interesting in that way
You got very lucky with the double shock dodge while in a bill!
ALRIGHT BOYS ITS TIME TO MOGI.
Watching you play Lounge is surreal. I'm surprised you did so well. Rod recently did a lounge video but said he doesn't like playing Lounge because of the difficulty and feeling like he's letting a teammate down. 😭
do more of this, make it a series it was pretty fun
also brazil representing lets gooo
You should’ve done an intro like JPG’s Competitive MK8D intro. Missed opportunity
Idk why but 200cc looks so much faster when watching Troy play than when I'm actually playing 😆
I've been enjoying your Mario Kart 8 videos! They are just amazing!
I'm pretty sure you can tell if a communication error will happen if the Item boxes rolls are slower than usual, I'd say 50% of times where my items are slower than usual i get a communication error
you and gp are my 2 fav mk content creators
Would love to see you do more comp MK8DX stuff. 150cc or 200cc lounge, maybe dive into the world of 6v6 again? You have a good mental and a lot you can easily improve on
How could you dodge 2 shocks? Isn't there a cooldown for the next time a shock can be used?
There can be multiple shocks in play at the same time in this game
You was tryna attack micheal the whole time 🤣🤣
Watching him makes me realize how little people blink durning video games. Third race I think I only seen him blink once
7:26 Great catch-up
Lets goo hes finally doing competitive and JPG is in the room
My man is crushing the hospital gown look
Dry Bones used 10% of his ShockDodging Powers.
What happens to link at 3:28 ? it is incredibly suspicious (PS: on the mini-map)
3:19 pure timing
i love seeing a TWD98 video it makes my day
Keep growing the beard! Let's go mario kart beard gang! #luigigang
14:12 the justin returns
8:09 Pause 💀
Mario kart wii be like: you got rank E for abusing short cuts and broken items and not staying first on every race
Interesting seeing this more competitive gameplay where Troy not top as often made a change
6:22 Troy What Happend To Your Wifi?
You’re amazing at Mario kart!
This actually feels like I'm watching F1
Got a video idea you should try and beat the hole of Mario kart from the very beginning i think that would be a good video
Most of the teams were pretty close overall but “sweetmelontaste" kinda dominated
11:20, STAR IN 3RD IS CRAZY
Very unfortunate that you couldn't do the squad. Are you planning in doing any in the future since now you sint a placement?
Troy pls do a season 2 of Troy vs custom track (I missed the series since it ended)
Been waiting for a jpgivener shoutout.
My 7 year old son asked to comment on your videos, he said, "if you talked less and focused more you could be first"
That controller sound so good!
What kind of controller are you using?
6:25 What the heck is a communication error? 😂😂
Did they use google translate or is that a real thing?
Most pro players
10:47 Crazy Fire Spam
This is 250cc bruh, 200cc has never looked this fast.
Why does bro look like he just came out of a hospital
Ink must be brutal on this
As someone who dabbled a bit in 200cc lounge, I can safely say it’s probably the most brutal thing about this game (probably because I get pitted against literal WR holders half the time). You did amazing for the first time (although it’s probably due to those shock dodges that allowed you to score well).
I wonder if JP Giviner is gonna do another competitive Mario kart 8 deluxe with Troy
What wheels and kite and character did you use?
Look at the video
We need to bring back the perfect gameplay
Thank goodness the current best character has 9 color options.
I still don’t play 200cc. How are you so good. And the fact that this lobby feels threatening to me means something. (To me at least.)
You paniced and boom your own red shell……20:30
You should try 150cc lounge!
I really wish Nintendo put more work into the servers...
your facial expression ion the thumbnail sorta looks like my friend when he doesn't believe something
So do pro players use the training wheel? ( feature that try to help you from driving off map)
Bre is so consistent
You look like Dafran without the beard
Starting to miss the mkw content a bit
LMAO WORLDS BEST I got 11th in this mogi but nice playing with you bro.
Carried by Michael
I cant be the only one who thinks big blue music goes hard
On 200 cc is braking a thing or never??? Thx
you can brake in 200cc
Jay got 3rd overall but Normie just canceled his score out.
ROAD TO DIAMOND?
I consider myself a good Mario kart player getting first place trophy on all 200cc tracks, but this…
I think I would get last in just about all of these
poofesure will probably rage when playing this lobby…
So is there drive assist here? Because it always feels like yes but none of the videos I have watched have ever talked about it
I didn't have smart steering on but a common strategy I learned is to turn it on mid race when having golden on difficult sections
