Loved watching this video and thanks fot inviting me to speak a little bit about the standards in MKDS! Monumental achievement, well done again.

I like the little cow he has bouncing around his overlay like the dvd logo while streaming.

[@frederikvater]

I thought "Dildo bird" was universally recognized lmao

[@ObeisantBug3808]

He has cemented himself into MKW folklore as the first, and yet maybe only player to ever achieve the god standard in its history. I think the entire community tips its collective hat off to you as appreciation of such an achievement.

[@Darren402]

it's honestly so respectful of you that you took the time to learn how to pronounce each of these players names, always hate when video essays are like "uhhh im like totally gonna butcher this pronunciation 🤪 😂🥴", and aside from that this is super well done and presented especially for your first video like this. hats off

[@kat8275]

i’m so glad i’m not the only one who hates when youtubers do that.

[@TheGunzla]

Yet he pronounces document as “Dow-cument” 😂

[@alejandroo.2358]

​@@kat8275 same, finally someone puts effort into saying a name

[@TheSuperappelflap]

What are you talking about, he still completely butchered the French and other European language names. I dont personally hold it against them since its impossible for Americans or native English speakers in general to get French, or any Germanic language, correct. You need to learn to pronounce those sounds as a child to be able to do it. I just want to officially protest against your claim he did pronounce them correctly, because he did not.

[@nextkestrel]

@@TheSuperappelflapwhat do you mean. just because he didn’t pronounce these “europeans names” with the eloquence of a native speaker of each language of their respective countries doesn’t mean he got them wrong or mispronounced them… would it be incorrect for an english speaker to call the biggest city in china “shanghai” instead of “shàng hǎi”? of course not. also anyone could learn the correct pronunciation of words in french or germanic languages if they really wanted. but usually they don’t because it’s stupid and annoying. also as someone living in europe. europeans are far worse at pronouncing things in english than logan is with these names.

[@EvilApple567]

Got recommended this after rewatching NMeade's TT lounge series (which gave me some better perspective on the 3 lap times). Amazing job, building this kind of diverse skillset in a game is super impressive. Bit of a shame top players have to make their own documentaries, but you did a great job with that as well, especially doing a full series recap of the concept instead of a quick explanation which would've sufficed but provide less insight/impact towards this achievement. Can't even imagine how many hours went in to everything related to this video.

[@nil24nil]

This is a very funny video. like, you cover every MK in 20 minutes (while deciding that 8 and 8DX are the same game) and then procide to narrate your grind on the remaining 50 minutes of the video. I love it, absolute genious

[@TheSuperappelflap]

20 minutes of unimportant stuff and then, lets talk about whats important: MEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@ZaSpear]

Some of those final standards were times that took very skilled players/track specialists months (or more) to achieve, yet you banged them out in mere hours/days. Real GOAT shit (irrespective of your WR history). Congrats on the milestone, hope this video pops off for you and sheds even some light to other speedrun communities on how good you are and how skilled top MK players are at gaming in general🤞

[@TheSuperappelflap]

Its funny to see a guy complain it took him hours to get a world record when world records in popular, old, hunted games like MKW are generally insane and can take top competitors weeks or months to grind.

[@JigsawFlex]

Summoning Salt has competition!😱 In all seriousness, this documentary was fire! Loved seeing Abel talk about MKDS with you as well!

[@martsy69]

this guy is a legit top 1% player

Hi jigsaw

[@Paul-hq7gf]

cant believe the disrespect on the cataquacks... "walking tennis balls" smh

[@Sleepyhead080808]

23:10 "Yeah, some of these are pretty brutal" Me, who has never played this game: Oh, yeah, definitely.

[@xx_rz]

I can tell you they’re even more than brutal…

[@GalaxianSR]

Ya know, this video made me realize the luxury that is not having to sit and wait for lap attempts in CTR. I have never liked having to do loops in some tracks to cause integer overflow for reserves, or have to drive around the track in general to be able to adequately do the lap, but god damn at least it is MORE engaging than waiting. Although that is neither here nor there, congratulations on this insane achievement! You truly are the goat, and even the goat shepherd who owns that entire goat farm where that goat resides. It's inspiring

[@AnunGuy]

12:25 I can't BELIEVE you got the nerve to call me a fraud.. other than that great vid I enjoyed the full way through

[@noahcheng1895]

he is TERRIBLE

[@frizzyrascal1493]

The attention to detail and low volume background music is superb. Your voice is pleasant to listen to, too.

[@Ser3ch]

This is an incredible video. For MKDD, I believe the discovery of A-tech (players let go off the gas after a MT to snake in a near straight line) made players much faster than previously thought. This absolutely crushed their leaderboards, especially the god times so they needed to expand the God standards up to +8 and I believe +10 on some tracks. There is one track ( I think rainbow row) where the community has not cracked the top 2 god standard times funnily enough

[@StayClear4321]

This is the most important mario kart player and one of the most important video game players of all time. Thank you Logan for everything you do. You've attracted viewers like me, who haven't touched mario kart wii since they were children, to get involved in it once again by watching people like you.

[@ruqiuu2]

This video was absolutely incredible. The plot twist at the start that it was your journey to perfect MKW was really cool and got me hype! I got really invested in the journey as I watched along. And one line you said really stood out to me in the Peach Beach 3-lap attempt at 47:07. “How do you overcome it? Just the same old fails over and over again. But you just have to keep pushing through.” I’m a new MKSC player, and I’ve been trying to tie WRs and get god times as well. I’d only gotten like 3 WRs in when my Lakeside Park sc flap was beaten by the legendary iMathII within 15 minutes. It had taken me 5 days to get the tie and the bar moved, and it was so difficult that I began to doubt I could get a 2 millisecond improvement or tie. It’s hard when you fail so many times and begin to doubt your ability to do it at all, but your words really inspired me, as did your journey! If I don’t let the failures dissuade me, if I keep striving for improvement and keep pushing through, then maybe I could (for those tracks within my skill level) achieve the time too! And maybe if I got better, I could expend that too! It was just really inspiring to me and gave me the motivation to keep trying. Congratulations dude, what an achievement. You really deserve it!!

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

awesome video!! it was super cool working with you on some of the games at the start :) the clips at the end of you getting every good were super cool, and i lived the little montage of LC with the cool music! congrats again god 💪🔥

[@arvok2]

Long live the king

[@beaksters]

1:09:17 I love how the conversation going on in chat was about how mario kart wii is a short people game because they need practice when the god sheet was completed.

[@bigannoyingbanana1365]

this achievement is unreal. the dedication you put in is unmatched. your skill and perseverance will likely never be equalled in this games history. well done YoshisYoBroshi

[@kleenw]

The highest achievement in mkw accompanied by one of the best videos i’ve seen for this game. Insane accomplishment and hope to see more videos in the future

[@IMC_123]

Incredible. Both the godsheet and the video! Watching bits of this grind live I have some idea of how hard you worked for this, but seeing the hours listed really put it into perspective for me. Well done once again logan!

[@aynyxamer]

fun fact : frostbeule shown first at 1:07 from Sweden also became a world champion on the game Trackmania ESWC back in 2008 earning 12k euros which is still to this day the biggest price anyone got on Trackmania

[@nicjk5864]

such a great video :) randomly clicked and was so surprised by your research in the first portion and your transition to talking about your own accomplishments in the second. MKWii is a game i grew up with, and seeing it blown apart like this is really a sight to behold. congrats and would love to see more content from you!

[@jamomkw]

I just want to say that your passion for this game is unmatched and will remain unmatched, the amount of dedication you have is mind boggling towards TTs and from last year Mogis! This video better blow up because it absolutely needs to!! I hope you continue to make content for this game as you are what this game needs, we love you Logan!!!

Congrats once again on this monumental achievement! The journey to godsheet has been one hell of a ride, mad respect for still commiting to the grind and pushing through whilst working a job. You are the GOAT logdog

[@dnblord9768]

a really, really good video. I hope this blows up, it could very well happen. Keep up the great work Logan!

[@PeterKart4444]

Awesome video Logan! Man, I have a lot to say about this. First of all, the editing in this video was amazing. You could've just showed all your runs, but you instead showed your fails and your reactions. I also really appreciated the explanations you gave for each of the categories, as it is helpful for less experienced players to understand all the components of a run. Also, thanks for going over the godsheet for other games as well. It really helps people not only understand what the godsheet is, but also to know just how rare getting this is. Also, GG on the achievement!

[@ryandixon8202]

wow… what a watch! such dedication and skill, thank you for taking us on this journey with you

[@baconlettucepotato69]

I love how poetic it is that the final track needed to obtain perfect god status was 3 good old fashioned laps of the very first course in the game.

[@fbrgls77]

Awesome video, dude. Can definitely see the effort it took to edit the video, track down the clips, do proper research, and perhaps most importantly, being crazy enough at the game to grind out those categories to the fullest potential. Hoping to see another video of this style in the future :)

[@ericdanielski4802]

[@Mayzx22]

Great video Logan and congratulations on the godsheet

[@rusto_]

This was incredible!!! I was viewing for a good part of the end and was cheering you on, and this video put it concisely but still into scale a lot better than just tuning into stream sometimes. Really appreciated the highlight on the other games too, to show how significant the God standard really is to every game (except MK8 lmao) The MKSC site not having links is mostly since… I guess no one has bothered penev enough? Most of the top times do have video in some regard, I’ve got a half finished spreadsheet of top 10s with their video I need to finish one of these days lol
