Arc: You need a TV to play the game. Me, who uses a Wii U Gamepad:

[@Buggy_Evan]

Hey Arc, love the channel and I find it extremely useful and handy for new players getting into stuff like ctgp and wiimmfi. but I was wondering if maybe you could start a series where you take a look at tracks individually and explain the many strategies you can use on them? for example good places to use items, shortcuts, preferred vehicles for different strats on the track, etc.. I'd like to see this since it's a concept that hasn't been utilized a lot for some reason as most mkwii youtubers focus on tech that can be used in many different tracks and not track specific techniques. it was an idea I had and I just thought that it was a pretty neat suggestion.

[@jotarokujo1435]

Pro tip: make sure the disk is in the wii for best experience

[@PresidentNathan]

The sarcastic captions for the questions are golden. I love you arc

[@Brodensson]

(TLDR at bottom) 5:52 and 6:15. Do NOT get a HDMI adaptor, they suck. They almost always add noticeable lag. Get Wii component cables, the ones with 5 coloured cables (green, blue and red for video, white and red for audio). If your tv has component inputs, plug it straight into your tv and forget about it. If your tv only has HDMI (which is getting more and more common these days), the cheapest option is a Portta component to HDMI converter. The best options are either a Retrotink2x pro multiformat (cheaper) or an OSSC (more versatile). These are probably overkill if you only have a Wii, so I'd recommend a Portta adaptor if that's all you use it for. If you have multiple consoles, I recommend either of the other 2. If you're really all about that quality go for the WiiDual (mentioned in the video) but this is extremely expensive, and you need a specific Wii model, so it's not for everyone. TLDR: 1. Component cables are best for 480p on the Wii. 2. If your tv doesn't have component inputs, get component cables and a Portta Component to HDMI.

[@tcscomment]

it really depends on your skill level and on your lag tolerance, but yes, wii2hdmi sucks most of the time.

I've recently started to get back into playing Mario Kart Wii casually, trying to all the cups on my Wii U. I haven't really been thinking about getting into the competitive scene very much, but what I have done was try playing the game online with randoms via Wiimmfi. Suffice to say, I'm not very good at it (probably because I can never play with any control option other than the wii wheel), but I don't care, it's so much fun. Also, thanks for the recommendation on the Wii HDMI adapter! I still have my old 2006 Wii, so I'll absolutely be looking into getting one of those when I eventually get my hands on some GameCube games. And a controller.

Hi, I'm playing on dolphin, I wanted help about some things. I'm practicing for a new shortcut, and wanted to save a moment in the lap so that if I fail I can respawn in one second before my shortcut so I can practice faster, instead of failing and lose 15 seconds each time, I'm pretty sure I already saw someone doing that, saving the run and having checkpoints when it's convenient. Also, do people here know if it's possible to get speedometer in dolphin ? Because I feel like my wheelie speed isn't at its maximum (probably my controller which is old, is at fault) and I'd like to check that by myself. Thank's for the help !

Which is better: Karts, or outside drift bikes?

[@gamecubeplayer]

wild wing is the best kart and is also better than outside drift bikes

[@campbellblock3061]

Karts are generally considered better than outside drift bikes. Outside drift benefits snaking since you can move forward while diagonally charging a drift, while inside drift benefits wheelies since you don't have to recorrect your angle after you release an mt into a wheelie. Outside drift bikes sort of get the worst of both worlds since they can't use the smt and have to recorrect their angle after a turn in order to wheelie. Additionally, most of the outside drift bikes just happened to get bad stats compared to the inside drift vehicles. Shooting star is the only viable one and it is still slower than about half of the other vehicles.

[@itsnottimetostop4462]

Not linked specifically to this video, but I think you use abbreviations way too much. You use them in place of words that are sometimes even shorter to say than the abbreviation. It just makes the video harder to understand for newcomers since you mention the official term only once throughout an entire video. If you do prefer to use abbreviations, it might be good to say the full word once in a while.

[@Arcintel]

can you give me an example?

[@itsnottimetostop4462]

@@Arcintel well it seems a bit silly on my part, but there isn't a specific example- it's kinda the amalgamation of them. If you mean an example of a longer abbreviation than the actual word (off the top of my head) calling the GameCube controller GCN all the time seems a bit odd to me seeing as it has more syllables and is also less clear. In your defence this is a pretty common abbreviation, but many of your videos cater to newer players. Or maybe switching between CC and CCP multiple times in the space of a few seconds is a biy. Even saying CC Pro instead brings an additional level of clarity imo. But if you do like using abbreviations, that's fine. I just think once in a while, it may be best to call them the official word to make things a bit clearer. E.g. I don't think many new players are familiar with calling stand stills SSMTs. Even though stand still is a shortened form of the technical term, it's still clearer than SSMT imo. Sorry if these examples aren't the best, these are just some examples I can remember atm because I don't have time to watch through a video right now. Overall I think your content is very informative, concise and well edited. Hard to come by from smaller channels, and even large ones these days. Kudos. Edit: the SSMT point doesn't make too much sense since the video was only 2 mins long, lol. I can't remember if you use the term in other videos though, but I'll just assume that was a bad point on my behalf.
