Detailed Guide to A01-Race

As requested by Demon, I've put together a kind of tutorial for the A01-enthusiasts to drool over.
Song: Really?

[@JAktorGamingDK]

Video was 3 minutes long, but for me.... like 15 minutes cus the reading!!!

You’re just slow

enjoyed reading the ending

[@logictm]

bad

[@Mr-Clean]

Here to beat Karl Jobst Edit: I JUMPED FROM .02 TO .95!!?? Biggest fluke of my life HOLY

[@kajalaia]

You absolute legend

[@matthewdavis3421]

Happy grinding.

[@4nd1__]

Came back just to read the ending. Very motivational...

[@IanChapman]

Nice guide, very interesting to see how technical the game is at the highest levels of play

[@rollintm]

This is also a veeeery easy map. If you would do the same in-depth analysis of a 30 sec Tech map say (no sane person would do this) , the video length could exceed 1 hour xD

[@meraldlag4336]

I’m down for that :)

[@jorisoims3085]

This is such an awesome tutorial, just made me realize how many things, I've been doing wrong on this map. You should reupload this with Karl Jobst challenge going on.

[@MaksB.]

How do you so an sd? Because I never get it to work.

[@ponyvideos7430]

Rollin Storm, please comment back if you can. This tutorial is great. Very well made! That ending message, true TM fan and memer. :) People forgot about this game, leaving only okay players and true hardcore sweaty skilled gamers. I'm an ok player (got nadeo medal on all nadeo TMNF maps except E05 where I never made more than 20 laps) but I like to watch others do their incredible WRs and amazing cuts and bugs. As you said in the Worldrecord Hunting: A02-Race video's description: "Will it ever be done? I highly doubt it, but that's the beauty of Trackmania: It can be done theoretically." That's my thought. But actually, who knows, maybe one day... One thing I have always wondered was, TrackMania is old, but there's no known cheat to make fake replays with slow motion programs (like frame by frame, auto key hold for x milliseconds, copy a part of other replays to your own and improve only a part, etc) or anything like that. What type of security does the record sites and game replays have to prevent that from happening?

[@rollintm]

If you made a bot or something which would emulate the player's inputs and perfected them long enough you could theoretically drive WRs without the need for much skill. Why hasn't it been done yet? It would probably take weeks of hard work to get a good enough input combination through trial and error. Where's the fun in that? I only play TM because I like the hunting aspect of it. Slowmo wouldn't really be a benefit in my opinion. Sure, you can react faster, but if you input something the car also reacts slower. If you hunted a map long enough you don't really need to react, you already know how much your finger has to push to make the turn etc. I don't even know if you can copy parts of a replay and improve upon it. You'd need to derive inputs only from visual data of the replay. Then you'd have to somehow play them and switch to manual driving mid-race. No freaking clue how that'd be possible tbh.

[@ponyvideos7430]

@@rollintm Looks like the day was last week. Madlad Riolu! I also saw the TAS video which I guess is kind of what I was talking about with fake replays.

[@TheInfuriator]

Well, this comment aged well

[@matadordi2]

you are a visionary

[@ponyvideos7430]

Well. I only played TMNF at school casually with a friend on a laptop and have long since stopped, but I do still enjoy watching TrackMania videos once in a while. I don't use this YT account anymore and will probably forget the credentials at some point. I just felt like sharing some thoughts now in the future of these old past comments. It's entertaining to watch these new TAS videos from many different channels now that the security patch was created and the tool has been released to public for anyone to use. I'm glad that happened. Hmm, what else did I wanted to mention... I don't know. Uhm. I noticed that Wirtual's channel has been growing and attracting new people to watch or play the game for their first time, that's nice. I watched his video about Riolu and others cheating, kind of curious to see if he will come back or say something at some point. What else... Oh, I'm still waiting to see the 100k replays video project from L4Bomb4, DaniXks and others. I think it's still being made/rendered/whatnot. I would also like to see new videos from Nino Snarzz again, they were awesome to watch back in the day. Anyway, hope everything is going well with you

[@zsideswapper6718]

Watching this after playing on a server with cursed variations of A01 hits different.

[@Schmaniol]

I just watched Death Note and then this video popped into my head again xd

[@niatii]

Schmaniol ok

[@chiarra2158]

Am I supposed to hold the gas pedal even in the first jump? If I go full throttle I tend to fly over, but if I let go the pedal even a little bit, there is a significant speed loss. I know I am doing something wrong, but I don´t know what.

[@simpson6700]

you're supposed to let go of the gas before the jump for a split second, as not holding down the gas in the air results in a major slow down.

[@wyzedix]

Compared to TM 2020, it seems really hard to see the squid marks in this game damn

[@Mawiiii]

"uphil á la Kripke" hahahaha , very nice video mate, I finally understand this map!

[@milk6982]

Started a01 last night. Grinded an hour and half on it. Got down to 24:38 but couldn't go any lower. Here to learn about the first jump trick and speedslide

[@niccster1061]

7 months late but my big tip. Dont speed slide. You can probably get a solid 24.10 before even needing to speedslide. Focus on fundamentals like the start jump and the two turns after it

[@OZY_TM]

@@niccster1061 7 months late me too but you can actually get low 24 without sd, alctually sub 24 is doable without those

[@niccster1061]

@@OZY_TMcan and should are 2 very different things. Imo it is quite hard to get a sub 24.10 without speed slide and at that point you should probably learn it. Now that I've learned to speed slide correctly, I average around 24.07

[@OZY_TM]

@@niccster1061 i have a good time there .94 i was also just answering… im not the one asking the question basically.

[@vertun14]

​@@niccster1061 6 months later but i do sub 24.10 consistently without sd, it is all in the uphill. Wr without sd is 23.99, my pb id 24.05

[@MizuTM]

Nice but text too fast

[@rollintm]

These videos need to be paused to read the text. I think that way it's better rather than needing to wait until the text disappears.

[@MizuTM]

Rollin Storm I was on mobile and it was annoying, but I see your point.

[@DerHexlerLF]

very nice guide

[@ggacked08]

as soon as I clicked on this video as a GD player I couldn't stop laughing at the aod music

[@RacetasClub]

great one, keep that up!

[@jerzyxd727]

Tnx for this guide so much, i wanna improve my pb on this map

[@WaveDemon]

already improved my pb to .94 :)

[@ancaqar154]

LOL the ending

[@Joreon]

what buttons do I hold in the airr of the last jump?

[@mikeschipper7703]

very nice turtorial! it really helped me, do you have any idea what wr without SD is?

[@rollintm]

23.99 by shambo, Demon and me (that's all the players I know who drove that time)

[@mikeschipper7703]

Rollin Storm ty my pb is 24.07 so i need so i need to improve that first before i can learn the sd

[@wrexocane]

The ending made my day XD

[@aynyxamer]

did we need to tap for this sd ? my sd never start early.. dont think its a problem of speed but idk, i turn the max to the left

[@tarkkh9787]

bonjour baguette c'est un s4d donc tu freine un ptit coup et c'est parti (·̿Ĺ̯·̿ ̿)

[@_koplix]

Hello, I am grinding this from 14.4.2024 as a new player, and I have a question for you all, please...Is it necessary, to completely steer left in front of speedslide and then flick it to the best angle, or is it better to steer and hold the exact angle from the start ? Thank you / 23.93 my pb, am gonna break it soon :)

[@eljestLiv]

who's here from karl jobst haha

[@KevCraftHD]

Would be nice to have the speed you need to have for the downhill to hit it correctly

[@doc_me4ik]

cant understand man what i do wrong...i training on short SD map version of A01 but i every time getting low speed with my speed drift. Can i sent you replay for anylise. i just want know what i do wrong with my SD...or maybe i have problems with my short brake...i dont know)))need consultation

[@SkilledBird]

Had any success yet? cuz I'm trying to do the same thing :o)

[@3k2p6]

Watching in 2021... 24:02 I'm going for you!!

[@balintkurucz7245]

I still just don't get it. Any time I attempt the speed slide, my run ends up being at least a tenth slower than my pb, 24.10

[@victoryfirst06]

Are you using keyboard? It's hard to sd with keyboard, I have the same issue

[@Beridok]

1) I see the same font & style as riolu in his videos. (Maybe it's template for Sony or whatever program you may both use). 2) Slow-mo of whole Kripke's replay would be useful, if properly placed text on that, in my opinion. 3) Will you make more video-guides of Nadeo tracks? 4) Those 2 frames: imgur.com/a/khamU :p

[@rollintm]

1) Walkway is a popular font, why does it matter that riolu uses the same? 2) You can just download his replay on tmx and do that yourself. 3) For now this is a one-time thing (video is not really meant to be serious). 4) render erros in vegas, can happen sadly :(

[@Beridok]

1) No, it doesn't matter. I just said where I noticed that font. Seen only in his videos. 2) Well, I can, but... let me think, maybe with proper camera work you could point out it better. I don't know. It's usually expected to see explanation, then watch result, having the new knowledge. 3) I hoped for more. It was quite interesting. Thanks for you answer, take care =)

[@SkilledBird]

I have 24:06. 15:66 at 3rd sector. But with a speed slide I guess I could get 23:9x then. I just have to learn how to do it. Seems difficult on keyboard.

[@dumdum93]

Thanks Rollin I'll go get my $100 Steam card now

[@Spoonholder1]

the music made me want to watch anime

[@fullflow1453]

I have 52 runs under 24.10 and a pb of .04. Just found this hopefully I can get a 23.9x run :)

[@mrmavik6073]

Do these people go outside?

[@Kya10]

Dedi 13, 4.06.. like what Oo

[@megapro1725]

after watching this shit i realized that getting 4.02 is impossible

[@rtsbass7829]

Before I used ur technique My PB is 24.27 let's see what is going to happen

[@JayyyCloud]

"sd" ghello use da correct name "s4d" pls

[@rollintm]

s4d just refers to the method of initiating the sd (with a brake), whereas the term "sd" is the speedslide itself (there is only 1). Therefore iniating the sd with a brake and doing a s4d are analogous.

[@leafster8244]

i did 24.5 without doing any of these tricks, lol.

[@kyleporter7300]

Yes, that is a standard time when not applying any of these optimizations. 24.50 - 24.10 are miles apart.

[@TATGILB]

I appreciate the attempt and I understand that speed is king but goddamn was this impossible to watch at regular speed. Probably should have been around a 10 minute video. I watched it at half speed and it was still to fast. Also at half speed the music is straight out of a horror film.

[@Gravehopper187]

Yes I prefer riolu’s strategy too lol

[@kvakq]

1. How you can even read this 2. How you can even understand this. I'm sorry man, but you need to be more clear, about everything, and also you need to speak, typing is not good thing to do. So this is why, I'm goibg to dislike... Hope you do better next time

[@Smackerol]

i was able to perfectly read and understand all of this, so i really don't see what you mean. also, not all people are comfortable using their voice on the internet
