Your Crash Course On Trapping/Blocking in - Mario Kart Wii

A midlevel overview of the topic "trapping, backspamming and blocking" for mario kart wii.
Before you guys ask "why didn't he add this trap spot in the video" it's because I'm trying to explain the concept of trapping and what makes a good trap spot. Not a montage of every trap spot in the game. So for instance I talk about apexs, how to avoid stuff etc, over telling you every single right angle turn in the game.
Also I'm sorry about the production value of this video being a little bit lower then normal, but my pc really struggles with videos over 5 minutes long, so instead of taking a day or two to edited a video, this one took an entire week. I wanted to add more GFX and stuff but it's hard to do so when your timeline is moving at 2 fps.

First. Also I hate the fact this video happened to be 10 minutes long exactly.

[@killian9679]

ArcIntel It sure helps satisfy people with OCD though.

[@Cam_J]

OmG SuCH a StrETchEr

[@maxd1744]

ArcIntel great vid arc keep it up also I love the fact that Troy mentioned u so that u get more attention, although u still deserve more

[@TrevorRS05]

The longer the better!

[@2inpress232]

You don't run mid-run adds to the video so you dont need to worry about it

[@bureiz]

2.8K and growing, lets go Arc!

[@Soul_King77]

In just one month he got from that to 4.1K,nice!

[@NoahHalfSquid]

@@Soul_King77 I hate you

[@jakesg3342]

whyy

[@iski4317]

I‘m glad Troy gave you a shoutout!

[@svenklink05]

no

[@brockburton1998]

It’s how I found out

[@Sacraze]

Looks like you took our conversation about Coconut mall traps to heart ;) Love what you're doing for our community Arc. Keep it up.

[@jerry-the_moose4713]

Thank you for this video. It is expanding my knowledge of the game.

[@Te_arss]

Nice video!

[@TomMKW]

the PG banana spot in the first flower patch is widely called "troy's hidden banana spot" in the competitive scene.

[@Arcintel]

I believe that.

[@Marshall.R]

One minor nitpick, for your thumbnails could you go back to having a character/vehicle outline instead of them being filled in? It just looks a bit cleaner and everything else is so wonderful

[@Arcintel]

My older thumbnails do something like that, but I want a particular style that gives the effect of a hard shadow, I'm still improving so expect a lot of changes through the thumbnails!

[@Marshall.R]

@@Arcintel alright, well keep up the good work and I'll be here wondering how to avoid traps as a kart user

[@Guinea.Pig-Gaming]

On N64 Bowser's Castle, someone blocked the entry to the spindrift cut, and I managed to avoid it twice in the race and get the cut.

[@superdarkness119119]

Your strategic understanding is better than most competitive players

[@James44V]

These videos are very helpful. Good work arc

[@dmrroag4590]

Hey Arc, could you make a video on wall clipping. I don’t really understand it

[@FalB27]

This is so good why the hell is Troy more famous than you!?

[@ryancoombs3677]

FallBackITA27 different kind of videos

[@DUBTF2]

Very informative video :)

[@9-tie]

Could've used examples from our calls in T7 when we war since we yell out our calls :^)

[@RMED24]

Congrats on the shout out, I hope you get even more fans! You deserve this.

[@blazzing7156]

Please continue to make these tips and tricks videos I am I boob at this game and want to get better

[@soul7ah]

Grow this channel! Mario kart needs more attention like it did back then, not like it doesn’t but the fan base has to grow more

[@CrazyCJOfficial]

A good spot could be to precisely put an item in an item box so when someone heads towards the item box and gets the item box, they also get the/your trap

[@ohcd4475]

well made, not enough players are aware of the logic behind trapping

[@jesse.w2059]

Don't know if anyone has a answer to my question, but if you do I would love to know. How does someone do a wheelie-chain drift so well and constantly with wii remote and nunchuk? Wouldn't it be nearly impossible with the janky motion controls?? -wii remote an nunchuk player asking.🙂

[@Arcintel]

Buffer the wheelie before the drift, so wheelie first. That'll give you a bigger window to input a chain/slip drift.

[@NinTestertsu]

Interesting and useful

[@jimbrown6508]

Good stuff my guy! I’m new to the channel and I’ll be subscribing

[@lucasgatrell212]

king of tutorials 👑

[@superdemario7624]

thanks for giving Funky Kongs ideas

[@dmrroag4590]

All of your videos are great

[@killian9679]

I like these very detailed videos! Keep up that great work! 👍

[@laggianput]

A good majority of this foes for all mariokart games which is nice

[@dmrroag4590]

[@dmrroag4590]

Awesome video

[@pangake]

g o o d

[@colingznetworkplus4618]

Whenever I decide to trap, I only ever put the items on a boost over a gap, so that I can get people to fall, I never knew all these other spots existed

[@Mizai]

Love the channel

[@giovannimoya1832]

Place a FIB at the ramp next of the cave bridge at maple treeway

[@wurtknurte7283]

Ah yes, you can ONLY trap in Mario Kart Wii because the other games don't exist.

[@metarotta]

really nice video

[@nonononononono2022]

I always try to draft people holding stuff behind them cuz I forget people look back at u even tho I do it all of the time

[@abyssary8796]

I think dockless on ds ds is much easier if you just release the Mt at the highest point and wheelie.

[@joseignacioandrade2243]

How do I trap with a green without making it go back but having it like a bananna

[@Nocta223x4]

I can here even though I am the expert at trapping blocking and doing everything to be a pro yes yes

[@koreanpandas]

wouldn't it be smart to get shocked near an edge with a star to bait people to either slow down to get the star, or get the star and drive off due to the speed increase

[@reffman]

Can you make a video on how to clip and jump on sides of walls?

[@danielwright9990]

I know a really good place in maple treeway to put bananas and fake item boxes

[@n.o.p.e5268]

Mkw is a game which includes advanced psychological warfare

[@zace8973]

Has anyone ever told u that u sound a bit like Mayro?

[@Arcintel]

and elmer fudd, and meowth

[@Arcintel]

oh yeah, I chat with mayro over on twitch a bit, maybe I should ask him about that XD

[@zace8973]

Yeah he would probably agree

[@callum7952]

can you do a video on online golden strats? i've looked around and haven't been able to find any. :)

[@Jack-em8mn]

Callum Settergren kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZe1oWygnL9kaJY this is a good video

The age of Arc pinning every comment is over, it seems.

[@Mushtoast1]

Aec watch out in the next ww we play

[@snoopyfr2730]

3:34 (I’m so stupid why do I turn right into these bananas??)

[@Arcintel]

bc I was lazy getting footage so I just cheated a bit ;)

[@snoopyfr2730]

ArcIntel Guessed it obviously ;). Good job anyway

[@pato5996]

Why am I watching this? I am TT only

[@nu272]

Watermelon

[@jiroweiler5883]

Wait... there WAS a competitive play to freacking Mario Kart wii online? isnt that overcomplicating a rather simple game

[@vxel]

there IS competitive play for mario kart wii and it's way deeper than you'd think
