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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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. 😭
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
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.
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!
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
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?
Grass, a ubiquitous plant, adorns the Earth's landscapes with its verdant charm. Soft blades of varying shades of green carpet the ground, offering a velvety touch to bare feet. From vast meadows to manicured lawns, grass thrives in diverse habitats, resilient and adaptable. Its slender stems sway in the gentlest breeze, whispering a gentle melody. Tiny dewdrops glisten upon its surface at dawn, reflecting the morning sun. Grass provides nourishment to grazing animals and shelters countless insects. Its resilience endures seasons, recovering after being trampled or mowed. A symbol of vitality and tranquility, grass symbolizes nature's evergreen resilience and timeless beauty.
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
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
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).
You didnt do bad at all. You are just the best of the best for MKWii specifically but MK8 is just different from all the time and years you put in to MKWii.
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
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.
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
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
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

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 😅

Its amazing how far having different characters/kart combinations having similar or the same stats can do for lobby diversity.
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.
Love how you dodged your teammate on Twisted Mansion without even realizing it. The BAM shock dodge flows through your veins.
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 felt like he played flawlessly, and then you check his position and he's 8th, this is insanity
I need the pro perspective
13:00 not sure if it was intentional or not but dodging the teammate and paving the way for their 1st place was 🤌
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”
This is a certified hood classic
Thanks shrek! (Please spare my family.)
Who’s hood in the video?
This is a certified competitive classic!
13:03 clutch shock for Michael to get first

7:30 That looked very clean!
yeaa!! finaly! i hope the next video will be JPGiviner in call with you and coaching you during an event
Cannot believe you entertained me for 20 minutes, Great video and good job!
7:26 Great catch-up
13:04, Troy dodging his teammate, totally intentional XD
Amazing how you pulled some of those shortcuts off. This Shrek 5 was very interesting in that way
You should’ve done an intro like JPG’s Competitive MK8D intro. Missed opportunity
You did such a great job! I was the yoshi bike user, it was so fun to play with you

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 got very lucky with the double shock dodge while in a bill!
congrats on keeping pace with these pros troy!

ALRIGHT BOYS ITS TIME TO MOGI.
famous last words in mario kart, “we’re back in this”.
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!
you and gp are my 2 fav mk content creators
That was such a stressful video to watch hahaha
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
do more of this, make it a series it was pretty fun
also brazil representing lets gooo
3:19 pure timing
I've been enjoying your Mario Kart 8 videos! They are just amazing!
Most pro players
Lets goo hes finally doing competitive and JPG is in the room
14:12 the justin returns
My man is crushing the hospital gown look
Idk why but 200cc looks so much faster when watching Troy play than when I'm actually playing 😆
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)

11:20, STAR IN 3RD IS CRAZY
Watching him makes me realize how little people blink durning video games. Third race I think I only seen him blink once

Interesting seeing this more competitive gameplay where Troy not top as often made a change
You was tryna attack micheal the whole time 🤣🤣
10:47 Crazy Fire Spam

Been waiting for a jpgivener shoutout.
Dry Bones used 10% of his ShockDodging Powers.
You’re amazing at Mario kart!
Ink must be brutal on this
Most of the teams were pretty close overall but “sweetmelontaste" kinda dominated
Troy pls do a season 2 of Troy vs custom track (I missed the series since it ended)
i love seeing a TWD98 video it makes my day
This game is such a mess online, I can't even contain my laughter at the amount of bad netcode.
This actually feels like I'm watching F1
Starting to miss the mkw content a bit
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
I wonder if JP Giviner is gonna do another competitive Mario kart 8 deluxe with Troy
You look like Dafran without the beard
You paniced and boom your own red shell……20:30
We need to bring back the perfect gameplay
You should try 150cc lounge!
I really wish Nintendo put more work into the servers...
Keep growing the beard! Let's go mario kart beard gang! #luigigang
This is 250cc bruh, 200cc has never looked this fast.
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
I cant be the only one who thinks big blue music goes hard
Mario kart wii be like: you got rank E for abusing short cuts and broken items and not staying first on every race
Thank goodness the current best character has 9 color options.
20:11 that facial reaction was hillarious. exact same as mine.
8:09 Pause 💀
your facial expression ion the thumbnail sorta looks like my friend when he doesn't believe something
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
That controller sound so good!
What kind of controller are you using?
My 7 year old son asked to comment on your videos, he said, "if you talked less and focused more you could be first"
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).
Why does bro look like he just came out of a hospital
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.)
The user Nana is like her pro 😅
MOGI LOUNGE TIME
Jay got 3rd overall but Normie just canceled his score out.
Carried by Michael
GGs. That was fun
ROAD TO DIAMOND?
You didnt do bad at all. You are just the best of the best for MKWii specifically but MK8 is just different from all the time and years you put in to MKWii.
This content so gooood
Wow! Brutal game. Justice? go play grand turismo. THIS IS MARIO KART!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
