Bayesic Training Part 11: Electrodrome 150cc Time Trial Tutorial

[@Bayesic]

No I don't copy / paste from other videos why would you think that!

[@willORL]

These tutorials help so much! It’s so helpful with beginner strats.

[@fluffy47-tq]

Thanks to this video I was able to top my pb by over 6 seconds! (now at 2:03.312 and definitely room for improvement) Keep up the good work :)

[@matbabol9430]

Hey love your vids, very informative and it's helping me learn the tracks more + get better times in TT. Just 2 small suggestions maybe: you sometimes include this, but it would nice if you included some shroomless strategies aswell or optimal routes in each map, something that can be used in regular races. Also this might be a little harder, but having a controller map would be great, so we see your inputs in real time while you explain it.

[@Bayesic]

I’ll definitely consider putting shroomless strats back in. The issue I had was that most of the time that portion of the video would literally just be like “if your running shroomless don’t use shrooms” haha. Just gotta find a way to make it interesting and relevant As for the controller map, would love to do something like this but as far as I can tell the only way to get it on screen is to hack your switch, which kinda makes me anxious lol ngl. If I can find a way to do it without having to hack my switch or buying a whole other controller though I’d love to include it

[@arianacarranza1321]

I literally love this series, it’s so helpful, ty for this!!!

[@Checkerchamp]

“So get ready to rage” For me that probably has more than one meaning

[@BaritoneBeard]

Without your help I was able to get within 5 seconds of wr pace on 2 seperate tracks, now WITH your help I feel like ill be unstoppable, this is great content I hope it blows up in time for the next mario kart game to release

[@Bayesic]

Thanks man I appreciate that! Also awesome user name lol

[@BaritoneBeard]

@@Bayesic Thank you kindly, im sure youll see it a few more times in the future, because comments are good for the youtube algorithm and you make some quality content

[@Catchthis18]

Ik it's later but I'd like to thank u for the tutorials. I managed to get sub 2 on many tracks like this one, Dolphin sholes (eww), and a few more thanks to u

[@scottgoodman9181]

Dude, you are da man!!! Every one of your vids so far, I only watch like a 1/4 of each vid. Do your recommended build, listen to your insight and then tah-dah! That course is then completed!..JUST told myself, 48 courses, if you get me through 1/2 them, that's gonna be a subscribe! Either way, I can tell you're passionate about what you do and you do a great job and thank you very much!

[@RyploMain]

The Is the tour of content I’ve needed since unlocking everything and having little to do as a new player other than try to improve my time trials and play pubs

[@masmk7063]

I wouldn't have figured out how to do the shroom cut without hitting the wall without your video!, thanks so much!

[@999Renji]

bro i love all of these vids my time trials have gotten so good lately

[@sdw4527]

Just discovered your channel, and while I don't play this game anymore (played TTs a ton back on Wii U), appreciate what you're doing for the MK8 community. :) I wasn't involved in the competitive community so only found out about a lot of these strats from KZbin and a MK8 group I hung out in. It's amazing to see there was actually more to some of these tricks than just getting a feel for the track lol. Like for example, I kept on failing runs from the ending sc on this track. Didn't even know the actual strat was to aim for the 4th arrow off the ramp. With all that said, keep up the good work!

[@Bayesic]

Thanks for the awesome comment, I really appreciate that!

[@JosiahLuscher]

Thank you! The your run + world record strats is excellent.

[@NotJosh_1]

I always thought it was Electrodome. Thanks for the enlightenment.

[@scottjohanningsmeier4309]

Dang it. Me too.

[@Bayesic]

Welcome to Part 11 of Bayesic Training where we're going to cover everything you need to know about Electrodrome on 150cc. The first thing you'll notice is the "r" in between the d and the o. It turns out that the way to optimally pronounce this name is not actually by dropping the "r", but pronouncing it fully

[@scottjohanningsmeier4309]

@@Bayesic see now we have back to back accented syllables which doesn't flow as nicely in English as is does in the language of the mushroom kingdom.

[@chrisweight6322]

dude! I've been looking for a channel like this for such a long time! really nice vid, but could you try making a tutorial about yoshi curcuit?

[@GGSpeedruns]

My favorite track ! Awesome video man 😎 this is a great series

[@lmgaming9675]

Thanks man, always a pleasure to watch your vids :D Best mario kart youtube channel....just saying!

[@thereeper]

I love the tutorials, they actually make so much sense and the play by play is definitely helpful. I just wish I could do the correction hops at least a little decently

[@Bayesic]

It definitely requires some practice to get down

[@jscuk6068]

Nice video i was able to save ca. 18 sec from 2:20 to around 2:02

[@justinblechinger6723]

I don’t know how to say this anymore times. You rock

[@Bayesic]

You can just keep saying it like that… never gets old ^_^ haha

[@cameronholt4407]

I want the algorithm to like you. This series is great! What's ur math background? BAYESic, pareto stuff in the kart combo video, you have given yourself away ;)

[@Bayesic]

Yeah I definitely don’t make it a big secret that I’m a math and science oriented guy haha. I was actually pretty bad at math til I decided to study statistics in grad school, hence the Bayes :-)

[@shelbyanderson9016]

you helped me a ton on ninja hideway

[@maximilianotosca]

Love these

[@danalaman]

this video is nostalgic for me now LOL

[@lukeaxx6911]

feel like a loser but iv been waiting for this all week!

[@themightycheesehead8691]

Very Useful

[@sh-awe7328]

With the new update, what character/kart combo would you recommend for this course now? Is the current wr build beyond a casual skill level such as myself 😅

[@Bayesic]

You can probably use the same build I use in my PB tbh. World record strats are definitely quite a bit more difficult

[@sh-awe7328]

@@Bayesic alright, thanks!

[@sh-awe7328]

@@Bayesic took .6 seconds off my pb, under 2:02.00 now!

[@danalaman]

i understand that how old this video is makes it unlikely for me to get a response but i'm stuck at a 2:01.796, splits 41.824, 39.998, and 39.974. my problem is i feel like i am doing things identically to as shown in the video, and i either take the line way too wide or just fall straight into the holes i'm super desperate to get sub 2 because i used to own this track in 2020 (in so much that i would dominate anyone i raced on this track despite sucking at most of the others). my soft drifting is relatively inconsistent but i am comfortable with resetting until i get that 3 for 3 softdrift, mainly because of how desperate i am lol the main culprits are i cannot take the first turn (the one with the traffic cones) as tight as as shown in the video without clipping the offroad, and if i go any wider at all, i knock the cones over, which you don't do in the video. the second issue is around the turn that changed the music, the same issue but instead of the offroad i fall off the track completely (like, every time) unless i take it way wide. any help would be greatly appreciated as i really want to get this sub, and i am willing to try more or less anything. (ps. great video, already lowered my pb from a 2:12 to the aforementioned 2:01 in a month or so, i just need that final push) edit: not sure how relevant this is but my best splits are 41.59x and 39.487, adding up to a 2:00.564 - 2:00.573, depending on what the x in 41.59x is

[@Bayesic]

So it's kind of hard to visualize what's going on here, cause it sounds like you kind of know what the problem areas are so all I got is "don't do that" lol. What I can say is that I don't think knocking the cones over on that first turn is a big deal as in it doesn't slow you down at all or anything. In general, offroad slows you down when your *back tires* clip it so you can take turns tightly as long as it's only your front tires going into the offroad or hanging off the track Hope this helps but if not, your next best bet would be to upload your run to KZbin and ask around either in the speedrunning discord or the MKLeaderboards discord, both of which you can find in my own discord which is linked in all my videos

[@danalaman]

@@Bayesic this has helped keep my runs more consistent. I used to get a mix of 2:01s, 2:02s, and 2:03s, now even runs I feel were quite poorly done achieve (very high, but still) 2:01s. I have also taken your advice to post my run to the mk8 speedrunning discord so it can be watched for improvements to be made. Thanks for the help!

[@krnch6594]

No way electrodrome was my first serios time trial track! It was the start of a series of tracks I time trialed that led to me being 2 seconds from a wr on n64 rainbow road 200cc

[@theohiller-drewett3035]

This is rlly helpful Tysm But i have a 2:09 which i rlly want to improve And i don’t get how u have a 2:02 your so insane and amazing every tho i do pretty much the same strats

[@OniAzul]

Hey, great tutorial as always! I use your videos as reference whenever I or any of my teammates need help in improving their lines! I recall that you mention in your stream that one doesn't need to master each track to have good overall lines in online races. Instead, you suggested to time trial a lot on two tracks with Electrodrome being one of them. What was the other track?

[@Bayesic]

I uhhh.... don't remember haha. Electrodrome is one for sure because you can get super good times without doing any advanced strategies. I also usually suggest Mario Circuit 200cc to get a feel for how to soft drift though since you can build up ultra mini turbos by soft drifting on pretty much every turn on that track

[@OniAzul]

@@Bayesic How about Tick Tock Clock on 150cc? What's your assessment of that track? I ask because I would see Kusaan time trialing that track a lot before his mogis and races during his live streams.

[@Bayesic]

@@OniAzul Interesting. You might want to ask him why he does that if he still streams then cause personally I don't like to time trial courses that have a lot of moving parts like Tick Tock Clock

[@tigerslashii7097]

If you play this game while on the toilet you play better. No cap if you're doing this while taking a massive dook you can probably shave a second and a half off your PB just from that alone.

[@Bayesic]

That’s cause whilst dropping said dook you’re typically in the lean forward tryhard gaming pose

[@hueygamer3295]

Everyone in the comments is commenting about the title so I’m gonna comment something different. Something different.

[@Needl_V]

And with everyone... you mean... two people XD

[@Bayesic]

Considering I only know 3 people this is accurate

[@hueygamer3295]

Wait, there is a number higher than two??? Me is confuzzled

[@krstyyyy]

Why Dry Bowser > Morton? Bigger hitbox for the edgeing or is it just preference?

[@Bayesic]

So Dry Bowser is actually slightly different from Morton. They have the same speed / acceleration / miniturbo stats, but Dry Bowser has slightly better handling The character who's the same as Dry Bowser is Wario, and as far as I know it's basically just personal preference

[@snowdriftmoon]

Rainbow Road/Neo Bowser please? ❤️❤️❤️

[@Bayesic]

It’s definitely coming at some point sooner rather than later haha

[@nathantouchet6587]

have you made a tutorial for race item strats?

[@Bayesic]

I haven’t, mostly cause I’m not as good at racing as I am at time trials, but I think in a couple weeks I’ll make a general tips for racing online type video
