How I got Trackmania's Most Suspicious World Record

[@Nightroast]

Such a great video. Everything about it is made so well. Huge congratulations! Also I should mention, even though I had personally never seen someone play like this, there are a couple players who have similar playstyles in some old trackmania games. Games that I had never played and hadn't seen before. Even though I am a higher level player than a lot of others, there is still so much I don't know about the game, including the history. To more experienced players, there is no suspicion. While the inputs are a bit unusual, they aren't quite fast enough to be questioned with regards to slow motion play. I think the another large factor for questioning the validity of the record was the low play time and recent starting time. Which just makes this even MORE impressive! Massive accomplishment and I can't wait to see what you do/create next!

[@forr35t]

In my opinion, questioning a legit player is one of the greatest compliments you can give. Exactly as you said, makes this even more impressive

The ghost of Riolu still haunts us doesn't it?

[@mich2962]

reading this comment is like seeing napoleon comment on a french revolution video.

[@TheOriginalFayari]

Now I get it, to drive a world record pace on a controller, you just have to have Parkinson's. Congrats on the world record dude!

[@clausewitzianwar]

Putting the track into night mood to depict the late-night grinding session was a nice touch

[@FINN0FINN0]

The editing, storytelling and everything in this video is just great! Genuinly on of the best videos I have ever seen!

[@tkyo]

That’s amazing to hear! Thank you so much! :D

[@jerryart4u914]

Some of text pop-ups were slightly excessive, but it doesn't affect anything. So yeah, great work without a doubt

[@Nedzy]

Absolutely adored the editing in this video. Came across this randomly, but kept watching until the very end. Your storytelling and the editing on top of that are at an incredibly high level. Keep it up bud :)

[@yhenkwhatup]

Hey DenDen

[@gosh5557]

wow hi den! also agree, this video is a banger

[@makkles9087]

As a fellow tapper, i congratulate you! Nice time dude!

[@OZY_TM]

2 things i gotta say here: 1st: GG! 2nd:You should give desert a shot on the older games or wait for it to happen on tm2020, this is the exact steering u want ;)

[@RacetasClub]

What an insane video. The script, the editing, the efforts, you sir are a VISIONARY. It's only a matter of time till your name would be a synonym of a well deserved success!

[@NightingaleBF]

WoWoWoWoWoWoW

[@RacetasClub]

[@Cyroxbtw]

The video was very good. I just wouldn’t call it visionary since it is quite obviously inspired by Wirtuals editing / story telling style.

[@slubbyizzda6997]

I love how you even went through the effort and put up a hand-cam :D Im a new player myself and you have my biggest respect for getting a world record. As a new player AT's are often out of reach and world records are just redicolous. So big gz! Does inspire me a little bit but im more like a "normal player" so im not in for the grind ;)

[@JozoTm]

Awesome stuff! 👏🏻 This reminded me that I was supposed to hunt this track. Guess I will try to beat you when I have time :) (Zig-zag ending is pain though)

[@spelking5]

6:35 The thing about your steering input is funny cause that is how I did it too when I first started, my friends roasted me and said "just play on a KB if you are going steer like that". haha

[@LilacFamiliaris]

I love "two one-thousandths of a second" at 11:02 😂 Huge congrats on your two-thousandths of a second away and all of the other runs, nice video dude💜

[@szabolcsidaniel158]

I wanna say just... wow. I got here randomly by youtube's algorithm but i didn't skip a single second. Your editing and storytelling style is much like Wirtual's. And take it as a compliment as he's one if not the best trackmania content creator. So great job, interesting, exciting, well edited video. You got a new subscriber :D And ggs for your first wr!

[@xhemel4303]

Being a newer player on controller on PS5, I see myself trying to steer in a similar way for some full speed or even fast tight turns, just slapping the stick and letting it slap back to a neutral state similar to keyboard for some precise fullspeed can help so I dont turn to much /oversteer and lose speed. With the snow car I tend to turn more smoothly but with the stadium car on wood ive done what you do as well to avoid turning to tightly and hitting the wall, glad to see some hand cam gameplay of controller players as it helps me make more sense of how players obtain good times on controller and the various methods that work for different players. Awesome video bro!

[@maB-TM]

Amazing Video! Definitetly never expected this type of video but I almost feel honored to be a part of it xD The fact that you're pretty new to the game makes this rather impressive to me. Before I got the record there was a wood acceleration update which basically reset all the wood records that start on wood surface. I only managed to get 7th before the update iirc, it was pretty hunted! After the update dropped I hunted it for a few hours and got it, it hurts that the one with a rather poopy start was "the record" but it was enough! A sub 22 was deemed to happen, and I'm glad to see someone did it so nobody else had to wasted their time doing so hahah. Congratulations on your achievement and record, perhaps I will come back to this map soon x)

[@tkyo]

Glad to see you found the video Mab! Best of luck if you do come back to the map, I guarantee you’ll get an INSANE run in due time :D

[@ShankerJN]

The funny thing is, before you even mentioned anything suspicious, I thought you were a keyboard player based off the movements 😂

[@alibi324]

When I started out in Trackmaina, I also used quite quick and sharp movements of the analog stick just because I felt I have more control over the car. Over time, I did start getting more comfterble with smooth steering and overall, ive started to get better times. I think it is just a natural thing for newer people to have more snappy and sharp movements. Congrats of the WR, thats really cool. Ive never even gotten close to a WR of a map that has been played by more than 20 people, let along an official campaign track. Its really cool to see new players do well and gives me more motivation to keep going. GL with your TM experience and thanks for the great vid!

[@Plaxer02]

That is exactly why I love Trackmania, I have started playing today and I am already getting in some maps top 5%, which really really motivates me and also gives you for once a feeling of self validation, that you are capable of achieving something!

[@TrystaneTheBlack]

really fascinated by these world record documentary kind of videos for Trackmania but none of the youtubers i watched make them anymore so it's great to come across your channel. Hope to see more content from you.

[@youtubeSuckssNow]

Wirtual is the king procrastinator

[@lockiegibbs1728]

Hey i play like that too! Turning smoother feels much harder as I am pretty generally new to the game so your not actually alone in turning in tippy taps

[@V.O.Y.S.]

9:29 ngl this is a how my hands look when plying also… more of a tap tap on the analog than a smooth motion…Great job man a wr after two weeks is insane!! Congrats

[@Gqrfield]

This video kept appearing in my recommended for the past 2 days, and I just now decided to watch it. Great video! I can't believe how little views this has for what it is

[@ekay4495]

I love how he casually mentions grinding for 2 hours to get a world record back. Monster in the making

[@ComeonmenID10T]

well for just having started with that game, getting a WR in it, having the compassion to putting all that time into it AND managing to get the first sub 22 as well with it........ i tip my Hat at you Sir, well done and Congratulations !!

[@crateer]

This kind of quality is what's worth watching and subscribing for! You absolutely nailed it, keep it up!

[@collingilbert39]

Damn whats crazy is I literally started playing on February 1st and discovered this map a few days later and this shortcut wasn’t a thing yet. I knew there was probably a way to skip the snow car but being such a new player, I didn’t think I could pull it off. But seeing that you had just started 2 weeks prior is insane. Great runs man.

[@Nightroast]

the shortcut has been around for months

[@doomakarn]

Man I really called it that the introduction of the snow car & wood would create a new era of top players.

[@M4cTr1cK]

My man is combining analog controller with keyboard playstyle. What a beast.

[@sFxEquinox115]

Used to be a relatively strong TM fullspeed player myself. I did the same thing - using “taps” on the controller stick instead of using smooth inputs. Some of this probably has to do with the fact I converted from KB to controller before leaving the game, as tapping is literally the only way to maintain speed slides on keyboard. Many other trackmania fullspeed players do the exact same thing. Not sure why people thought your inputs were suspicious…. They are clearly very different from the inputs observed in Riolu’s slowmo runs for example. -BlarryTM

[@andreunkreativ]

Very well made video and a great time! Considering the History of the games, I totally get where the suspicion came from, but its great to see that you could clear your name! Great job!

[@Forged208]

Please keep doing Trackmania content I never would have found this gem of a channel otherwise I love your voice and editing

[@xvgm24]

Awesome video. If i'm being pedantic I'd say that Skycrafter's A15 TMNF record was probably the most suspicious world record with so many dodgy things about it, but that doesn't matter. Amazing to see this one is legit 100%.

[@hayabusa10055]

Very nicely put, watched it all the way thru not one moment where I was bored of listening or wasn't curious about what will happen after. 14 minutes passed like it was a 1 minute tiktok video

[@CorvetteC-rd6wu]

wow, i keep finding small yt channels that make amazing videos like that! keep grinding!

[@Gwamm]

I play Trackmania games for around 15 years (with controller) and my inputs are quite similar to yours. I never got good results when trying to smooth steer, so I sticked to tapping the analog stick. Congrats on the wr and cool video! :)

[@hellium6613]

Dude, I’ve been playing off and on for years and racked up around 200 hours, this kind of precision without smooth steering is wild. Congrats! I myself have a very similar story about a map that was previously maxed out to the tenth, and I discovered a trick to save time, eventually gaining over 2 tenths on the previous WR.

[@ModernAtomX]

I like that at 6:47 he references Neko as being a smoother input, but neko is one of the players who actively cheated during the slow-mo cheat scandal lol

[@ErebusFOG]

Yeah but Neko was one of the first to admit to cheating and has been playing the game legit ever since.

[@Nightroast]

prior to the recent wirtual video, i didn't even know neko was one of the players caught up in that situation lol

[@Kelvenocity]

Awesome video, really enjoyed it. Can't wait to see more records from you in the future :)

[@lacteada]

bruh I thought this was a Wirtual video from the thumbnail+title, great job on the video, pretty fun!!

[@Jarrett0987654321]

I think this will be a testament to how you join the big leagues in trackmania, I love the underdog story especially with a playstyle not seen by many

[@nezziaktm9922]

Because one wr?

[@Eddieddg1]

The editing and story-telling reminds me of Wirtual, keep up the good work!

[@Thocuss]

This reminds me of a wirtual video in so many ways, amazing video! A TM documentary style is so relaxing to watch. Even getting called out for potentially cheating is crazy

[@TheEloheim]

Great video. I do think it's funny how the video shows the crazy hours trackmania takes from its players. You say you're a total noob...with only 83 hours lol. But honestly its 100% true. I remember I told someone i considered myself to be a relative beginner, just getting to know the game really, and I think their head exploded a little when i told them i was "only" 300 or 400 hours deep.

[@Fantie_huts]

Congrats, this video is really good. Perfect editing and story telling. Keep it up and good luck to you.

[@sp33dib0i6]

How you only have 2k subscribers is beyond me. Amazing work, on and off the track!

[@wotdog5258]

first time seeing your channel but i have to subscribe this was such a good video!

[@lucastavares746]

I wasn't suspicious at all on the beginning of the video, bc various tm players that play on keyboard also have inputs that look like that on maps that have wood blocks (since on wood u gotta be smooth and have quick reflex, people usually flick a lot and between aks as well), but i was completely weirded out when i saw u doing that on controller, that's pretty cool. Ggs on the wr!

[@Tadiken]

You use a joystick like a keyboard player! That's actually so cool, congrats on getting so good so fast man, now take what you've learned and start setting more WRs!

[@srenebbesen8616]

Watching this without knowing you, or ever seeing any of your content... You sir, deserve so, so much more recognition and subscribers!!! You just got 1 more though ;)

[@tobiasweber2517]

man this video really gave me the wirtual vibes... that is to say well freaking done the runs aswell as the video really great job

[@S.m1cha3l]

Playing 8 hours a day for 2weeks right after beginning, is a crazy. U grinded like crazy and got the wr gz. Also incredible video, hoping to see more of them, maybe even wr 😅

[@kujasan]

i am like 60 hours in an am pretty proud of my 20 author times in the curretn campaign. a world record? you are a legend!

[@davidtobis3614]

Dude, you have some serious skills in editing and story telling, the graphs and everything, the lengths you to to is remarkable, keep it up!

[@Jupeee]

Kind of funny seeing someone get hackusations for the same type of jittery steering that I've been doing in other games for as far as I can remember haha. I'm somehow both surprised that it's something suspicious and something I guess most don't do? But also happy to see that I'm not the only one. Congrats on the WR! Not much of a trackmania player but I love watching trackmania WR content :)

[@PokePackLass]

Congrats you this shows me don't ever give up it will happen on day!! Thanks for this video

[@neewx]

very well put together! very impressive accomplishment with a playtime as low as 80h holy shit. gg and nt ma dude

[@vincenttrutschler8306]

Love this type of storytelling videos, very well done!

[@Colonel_Zera]

Great video. Gratz on the record and well played breaking that second barrier!

[@BeUnadulterated]

Congrats! That is an awesome accomplishment!

[@Riccky12]

I extremly liked your editing & storytelling style. Keep up the good work!

[@grimreefer213]

Great video, your style is pretty unorthodox, but it seems to work for you! Nice time and congrats on your wr! Getting another pb after wanting to give up but persevering is immensely satisfying

[@IManu96I]

Usually people go from keyboard to gamepad to avoid tapping. I have never seen that way of using it. Congrats for the WR!

[@Midbooze]

very good video! subbed

[@Kya10]

I will say, your inputs are definitely wild; not suspicious, just wild. Basically, you play like a keyboard player, but on a controller; which, indeed, I also have never seen before, thus the confusion imo :) Great record tho, and great video!

[@derekpeace7668]

Welcome to content creation. After watching this, I have no doubt that you will do very, very well with it.

[@lynqsx]

Well, Tokyo doing trackmania a trackmania video surprised me😊. Welcome to this awesome community

[@tkyo]

A little different than what I normally make but I figured this was a story I couldn't pass up posting about, but don't worry! More projects are already currently in the works, haha

[@imcontemptwithlife4155]

Tm community is so gay haha

[@cyb3r._.]

congrats on your world record, incredibly impressive! i just wanted to comment that this kind of even feels like you are doing smoother keyboard inputs instead of rougher controller inputs lmao keep up the good work, I look forward to more of your content!

[@seanrrr]

Really enjoyed your storytelling here! I also play controller like this. I've spent so many years on keyboard that I can't stop the muscle memory of tapping. If it works, it work :)

[@WaiGee_]

dude amazing video, the story telling here is really good. Please do keep up the good work

[@Feztek626]

Your dedication to one map you enjoy is similar to a top level player. I hope you give the game some more time. Great video I really enjoyed it!

[@Le_Guigster]

Such a nice work, storytelling and editing were on point. Great job I'm eager to your future work! Cheers

[@Safasfly]

Amazing video, I have never seen this kind of production quality from a channel with under 1M subs before, and you only have 2.5K! Just a small thing tho, after this video went up someone went and beat your record, so it's not actually the current World Record anymore. Keep it up bro!

[@Nayte08]

very nice editing and storytelling! congrats on the second barrier wr!!

[@midastheunwise2423]

Cool video, well paced. I hope you are compelled to continue playing TM, especially after such a great achievement with so few hours invested! I've been playing for about 2 years and while I've consistently improved to around a div 10-12 range in most styles, WRs on official campaign tracks are still lightyears away. I hope you make more videos for TM in future like this.

[@Jdavid90]

Cool video! Really makes me wanna resub to TM club access haha. Congrats on the amazing accomplishment!

[@morhunss]

Oh man, why did you make this video. I became addicted to this track since I saw this video 3 days ago. I'm kinda new to TM 2020, but I've played TMNF a lot before :) I've been lowering pb step by step and now I'm at 22.665 (top 30 world) but I'm not planning on stopping grinding! Thank you for this amazingly done video and thank you for motivating me playing more and grinding more. Great cut btw, feels great when you get it right. P.S. - I'm a kb player, so the fast inputs are kinda harder for me.

[@tallowisp8868]

Really well made video. You got a new subscriber :)
