This Shortcut Determined EVERYTHING | Road to 30,000 VR Online Time Trial #3

[@jessehartman2252]

That maple treeway was a rollercoaster of emotions lmao

[@ArthurMK]

True

[@PikminWarrior454]

Nick on his way to work, seeing someone get annihilated on the highway by a milk truck: "SOMEONE GOT COOKED! heeeeh heeeeh heeeeh"

[@TAMusic]

Would love to see a compilation of all the seasonal bests at the end of this series

[@INFINITY_99]

12:30 Milk truck - famous last words 😂

[@JC4.80]

That was an incredible last lap 🤣

[@MayroSMM]

The joy I feel every time the Big Bad Castle gets picked and I get to watch Nick's mind merge with the game for a few minutes.

[@kanakazzz]

Loving the revival of this series so far, Nmeade. You look healthy and happy too. That BC64 at the end was stone cold!

[@incognito6751]

I came across the channel yesterday and I couldn't believe that online time trials is back! I always used to watch this back in high school after cross country practice and it brings back so many memories. Now I feel like I'm 17 again and the only thing I have to worry about is getting homework done and finishing a custom track 🫶

[@ArthurMK]

I was holding my breath during that rBC run

[@sixtyfour03]

Holy shit that rBC race was sick the GOAT

[@GaelLazerYT]

that N64BC is a HUG WIN brother nice job!

[@Stan99]

The fact that karts can be this competitive is actually kind of cool. Btw small suggestion, maybe it's an idea to add the WR and your PB at the start of a race? I think it would be nice knowing what the time you're aiming for is before hand

[@Pyroniusburn]

It's funny seeing the script flipped and the Karts zooming ahead of everyone with the help of UMTs vs the normal bike dominance.

[@kyaujah]

I was playing along doing 1 tries and got these times Maple Treeway - 2:27.880 (6th) Koopa Cape - 2:26.474 (9th) DS Airship Fortress - 2:03.566 (4th) GCN Waluigi Stadium - 1:57.378 (7th) Moonview Highway - 1:48.090 (3rd) N64 Mario Raceway - 1:44.951 (8th) GBA Snow Land - 1:40.587 (11th) DS Peach Gardens - 2:03.785 (9th) Toad's Factory - 1:52.955 (2nd) Tour Choco Mountain - 1:58.027 (4th) N64 Bowser's Castle - 2:36.919 (7th) Mushroom Gorge - 1:45.676 (8th)

[@General12th]

Hi Nick! Great to see another episode so soon, and congrats on the -7k- *8000* VR!

[@Azku_]

you're always very hard on yourself when you make mistakes but I agree with a comment left on a previous online tt vid where they said that the testament to how good you are is you always still manage to catch up significantly. props my fella keep it up, love the series

[@CorthosFellrin]

Dude this online TT is sick dude. You did so well.

[@AmieSeguin-kw7re]

You're truly incredible, Nmeade! Keep up the good work!

[@Greenglower2012]

This series (and the OG one) keeps me sane man i swear

[@TaraGrace56]

Oh how good it feels for online tt to be back. Hope you're enjoying it just as much as we're enjoying watching it!!

[@louiswolfe5012]

Nick, say it with me "Maple treeway is a CUSTOM TRACK!"

[@vincentpham991]

@@louiswolfe5012 Compared to this run, yes haha

[@NMeade]

That race in this session definitely got me a bit closer to conforming with that opinion 😆

[@louiswolfe5012]

​@NMeade lol

[@JOMNIplays]

Im loving this series. Happy to have this as a staple for this channel

[@Serperior10101]

They don’t call it Nick’s Big Bad Castle for nothing! What a sick time!

[@rmzing]

Funky Flame vs. Daisy Mach are neck-and-neck on rBC, but it seems UMT Baby Daisy Mini-Beast is EXACTLY the same! What a balanced track for these combos!

[@dragonz4477]

i grinded airship fortress for a while, if you go into the cannon super far to the right like you did at 7:03 you hit a weird piece of collision in the spiral and you get to take it way tighter, saves like a billion seconds

[@NMeade]

Thank you for that! I will have to look at that more closely when I TT it next

[@dragonz4477]

@@NMeade yeah it's fairly lenient, sometimes you just have to not wheelie to get the alignment you need, you barely lose anything for that bc the boost panels are right there

[@Morgan-Harrison66]

Just seeing Nick cook makes me wish I was actually doing this myself but if I wasn't so busy with other stuff

[@Nicoigs]

That koopa cape was EPIC

[@RjitPlayz]

I look forward to these vids every week! I’m glad the OTT series is back!

[@JayLovesPI]

We making it out of NMeade territory with this one! 📢📢

[@WizoML]

For the RR tracks that have unknown WRs, the staff ghosts are a good reference time. The Tour and N64 choco mountain ghosts are pretty cracked. Jetsetter is pretty good on choco mountain too.

[@zachdamenti4387]

Never old this series will be!

[@ReneMKW]

Fun tt sesion despite me being in the midpack/far behind all the time. Snow Land was the best race!

[@MegaMario986second]

16:42 your shroom: 🤡 Turboflex shroom: 🗿

[@vincentpham991]

That Maple Tree was insane! Also nice video

[@hankhype]

using your mushroom at those fire pillars on airship fortress seems like the much safer strat to maintain speed on the hardest section to maintain speed on lul

[@Yeesh405]

Love how 80% of the tracks are Wii tracks on a mod with like 150 tracks but mk players hate to leave their comfort zone

[@mariob9804]

Fr. Like why are u even in RR at this point

[@snackybuns]

​@@mariob9804 because its the only place to play online tt? Also generally the main tracks are just better tracks

[@iipiantissimo5098]

Did you hear about the new MG shooting star starts? They are crazy!

[@hankhype]

seeing the kart beat the WR by a full second on raceway was just sad, like how is that even allowed lol I really hope there's funrooms with VR bc worldwides are completely dead, don't think I'll ever play them again until umt's are patched bc karts are in every room now, I think this series has spread awareness as to how absurdly broken the karts are

[@sarahspeedrun6419]

Something I’ve wondered as a speedrunner, do you considered yourself part of the speedrunning community? I feel like Mkwii time trials is like adjacent to speedrunning but in a lot of ways feels like their own separate community so it’d be interesting to see your thoughts on it.

[@NMeade]

I would say so yes. I've done conventional longer form 'speedrunning' of other games in the past, but for the sake of this game in particular it's just very grindy ILs which is what TTing one track entails.

[@Jmurrie3]

Some good races 👏

[@reloadtoad]

why is this actually interesting

[@INFINITY_99]

New episode let's gooo 🔥🔥

[@RedLegend1988]

Milktruck! Other Funky: Nanyaanaanyaaah!!! LOL

[@howsyourday2437]

the MH was so good lmao

[@j-yoshi64_justcallmej]

20:13 holy of holies

[@NMeade]

Mini heart attack was endured in that moment 😅

[@j-yoshi64_justcallmej]

@@NMeade has your heart resumed beating, pray tell?

[@Kiroh]

Insane rBC holy

[@GaelLazerYT]

on moonview high way if you did thet that mt you would have been in a weird spot witch made the players in front of you hit the truck all things works for the best

[@Kyle_69420]

Love your videos nmeade nyeaaah!!

[@PhantomAarantula]

Who's the Baby Daisy on the Mini Beast, lol

[@6jeewon]

is burning a shroom on a failed shroomless on koopa cape really that much slower than just using a shroom in that grass cut?

[@nicgli3929]

I’m curious how do you keep track of your season best and competitors best times for future videos? Do you have an excel with all your times hahaha

[@Kiroh]

Nah that baby daisy needs to be stopped

[@RedditAwards]

Hell yeah

[@monardosa]

On moonview highway, are you planning to practice the slip drift at the end?

[@NMeade]

For time trials in the future yes, for the purpose of this series probably not since it doesn't save a significant amount of time

[@monardosa]

@@NMeade I see, I’m also assuming for this series you’re going for more consistency than small time saves. Anyways I enjoy the tt series, good luck!

[@renstasma5214]

I like this series a lot! But why do ypu put the competitors best in the box as we can see it in the final result list?

[@NMeade]

Glad you're enjoying it! Competitor's best is the collective best for the entire series, not the race itself. We're still encountering a lot of tracks for the very first time in this series so it'll be mirrored as that is the first race encounter. For a few of the tracks that have been played more than once now, it doesn't change or if it is I am now putting different color font for both the competition's new best and my new best as well.

[@colin7244]

Who got first place on Waluigi Stadium with a 1:51?

[@TheInvertedSympathyProject]

the dmv called and they want their lines back

[@renyk4903]

Why are his finishing times on the timer and the results screen different? Is one more accurate?

[@louiswolfe5012]

Nick, what's 08 shroom strat on MT?

[@GaelLazerYT]

how come Troy never plays online TTs with you anymore?

[@ProjectSpearman]

Why is there even the umt with the kart? When that has the potential to ruin pt gain ?

[@JacobRobergeQC]

ZPL removed it last patch, Nick recorded that before the patch

[@JacobRobergeQC]

*removed it on OnlineTT only, not worldwides

[@goldgamer8687]

14:06 is it just me or did I hear 2 hops?

[@kogmawmain8872]

We never found out if the wallride was shroomless or not :(

[@nautgamingnautgaming9949]

He definitely shroomed it it's possible to shroomless but it's literally a 2 to 3 frame window really hard

He said that UMT’s have already been removed we’re just waiting for the episodes to catch up to real time

[@falcoaus]

6:58 you literally let go of drift for 2 frames bit i think you were in an air pocket from your hop landing? either that or this game is trash🤣🤣

[@carlos-qc]

3 views, 40 seconds ago, my brother fell off.

[@Jaykofilmss]

Calling BS on these TTs. Either the game is sped up or the timer is slowed down because dude is casually making mistakes and still beating my PBs like they’re nothing. FYI I’m top 200 on most of these tracks and yet bro is making costly mistakes and still beating my times by like 3-4 seconds 😂 yeah right 🤡

[@vincentpham991]

It‘s because he‘s better than you, Sherlock

Delusional fucking comment wtf

Hes literally just better than u overall, cope

@@ghostbaconhair No lol. Maybe on some tracks but not all 😂
