I wish these players could TAS my commute to work

Car: flips across the entire map and finishes the track in record time Game: you did a flip! :)

Ok but can we talk about that turnaround on the checkpoint at 8:58

The thing I learned when I was active in the speedrun community was that unless something is literally impossible for a human to input (rapid fire hopping in mario kart wii for example), then nothing will stop someone from trying. I've seen many many things that were at one point deemed "TAS only" because no one actually tried to do it long enough. most things are able to be done by a human, it just takes one person to go "hey look I did it!"

I actually got goosebumps looking at some of the crazy skips. the fact that this 12 year old game is getting such revolutionary discoveries so much, is honestly incredible.

I am so happy B04 was finally done ✌️ I remmember how everybody was laughing on that strategy I had years ago. TAS brings trackmania posibilities to a absolute new level 💪

This whole thing reminds me of going into the top ranked players in polybridge and seeing that there's no actual bridges, people just drop tiny pieces of wood onto cars in such a way that the physics engine bugs out and catapults the cars onto the finish lines in the correct order.

Despite how funny some of these look, it’s frankly astonishing that most of them only save a handful of seconds over the previous un-assisted speed runs

I want to see Trackmania in the TAS Block of AGDQ 2022. Please get Donadigo and a team of TASers together and apply for it once submissions are open. It would be great to see it there

Watching this has made me realize all maps are Kacky maps if you’re trying to go fast enough.

"And then Hefest got this crazy run, beating the TAS run"

8:50 ppl: Look that guy sucks TAS player: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you

Soo you could just theoretically get infinite nosebugs in every map and break the game

I can't help but laugh after seeing some of these, absolutely insane! and I love it.

I would honestly like to see a leaderboard specifically for TAS

i need a channel like this for every game, accurately describing every step of each event, taking clips and short useful explanation, i would watch hundress of hours of content without noticing, i dont even play trackmania and have 0 idea of whats happening but with you explaining it i fell like its a game that i ve been playing a lot in my life

I think its been a great spin on the cheating scandal. Players who enjoyed optimising records with tools now have legitimate ways to do so and get recognition

Watching TAS runs has made me laugh so much (especially B04, thank you Trinity for that masterpiece), I love what the community is doing with the tool and I can’t wait for more TAS content! :D

I have watched 16 of your videos in a row starting yesterday (when I didn't even know your channel existed and knew nothing about trackmania) and I am completely hooked on your channel and hyping over trackmania WRs, keep up the amazing work!

6:20 top 10 questions science still can't answer

Dude, imagine if someone started practicing these skips at insane slowmo learning them identically and then stepping up the speed until they get to 1x

TASing is like using machines instead of hands to smith. It's more effective and is it's own world, you should not compete with machines in a human contest. But you can use those machines to improve your undestanding of the craft and use it as your own.

I like how every maps have it's own sentimental and historical value

7:20 The 'Uberbug' reminds me _so_ much of the old 1990 game Stunts by Broderbund, where there was a bug that let you retain top speed even driving on grass after a jump, and if you hit the border fence, it could randomly shoot you hundreds of feet in the air.

That TAS guy seems pretty good. He should start streaming.

"Trackmania Nations Forever" gives the same vibes of "2b2t, the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft"

Wow Wirt, top tier editing and storytelling in this one. You’re so gifted at setting up and framing those “epic” moments in every video. My jaw dropped while watching that Trinity TAS

WR: "Drives fantastically." TAS: "Where are you going?! The goal is in *_this_* direction."

Can you stop reminding me that tortugo is kajumi please i can't handle it anymore🤣

Donadigo is a hero carrying the Trackmania community in his back and ridding it of some bad apples at the same time

I love the Art of Rally music in the background, fits perfectly

Never once played this game and probably never will, but I love these videos 😂

So we're switching from: "And then, he got this run." into "And then, he got this tool assisted run."

I'm honestly shocked you guys haven't had TAS tools for this game yet and still have done so many insane things. This is about to get interesting

You did a great job giving a basic explanation of TAS. This is art.

Man, not only are you such a gifted creator that captivates audiences regardless of experience with Trackmania, who matches that with hard work to create some of the most in depth and intriguing content, but damn do you have good music taste too..

1:08 :"TONY HAWK AINT GOT NOTHIN ON ME !"

I am so glad that Poland has such an important person in the trackmania community. kc donadigo i Polska gurom!

I don't even play this game but I love these videos so much. I have thought about why that is and I think your narration and insightful analysis on top of the fact that you inherently have access to these historical runs makes for a genius channel idea. Kudos to you Wirtual.

okay so I'll write a disclaimer here about tool assisted speedruns, it's that THEY ARE NOT PERFECT! They are still bound to human errors as humans creates the TAS. Also, except in VERY rare occasions, TASes are getting beaten all the time too, just like normal speedruns! They are never perfect.

7:30 holy banana bread, i’m in a wirtual video!

I'm glad that Trackmania has a tool now, but I'm very surprised it took so long to make one. Like, there are some games that have had tools for a long time, and with how great Trackmania is, I'd always assumed that it had one that people just, didn't use, for some reason.

12:22 that musty flick was so good (rocket league mechanic where you just do that backflip going forward)

human: this run is perfection. Robot : hold my beer.

TAS runs are so satisfying and fun to look at :D

Man Wirtual’s vids are already amazing. I wonder what they’d be like if he made them with TAS

Definitely keep us posted on the new tas records. These are so fun to watch

I love how he is talking about the curiousity to see how far could we go since we just discovered noseboost that can destroy older TAS I hope there will be enough new records to have a new video talking about TAS revolution

That one guy you KNOW exists who has been specializing in learning how to consistently do nosebugs in real-time for years: "My time has come."

Wow oh my god. So at 1:30 when the car is navigating those turns, it cuts the most beautiful racing line through the corners I've ever seen. I wonder if similar tools adjusted for more realism (slower speed, more mass, etc) would be useful for generating real-world pace notes for rallies and stuff like that. This is awesome.

I have played trackmania once, when it was on PS+, but you are such a good storyteller i'm just binging your videos

I can say I hardly care about this game, but every once in a while, your videos show up in my feed, and I watch the whole thing. The way you narrate is very well done, to the point where something that doesn't really interest me, is interesting! Excellent work

The growth of TMInterface has been insane, great vid as always! Btw, if you wanna see those videos early, join the Patreon!

I am the type of guy to always say you NEVER reach the limit. However, THIS fellas, is PEAK Trackmania performance. Congratz to Wirtual and the TM community, what a time to be alive!

Teacher: the test isnt that hard the test: 6:08

These speed runs are just stunning to watch

I still like the idea of slowing down time in the game just to practice, my band teacher said to start slow and get all the notes right then slowly ramp up to full speed. Even outside of insane skips I could see it being used just for practicing specific input combinations.

I like how with B-04, he didn't just find a way to pull of the theoretical shortcut, but found a way to do it even better

Found you one day scrolling on my UKposts recommendation and usually don’t like games like these but after watching your vid about you changing your name to mafu or something an tolled the leaderboard after coming in 2nd I subbed lol no regrets bro

ok wow i totally remember this game, and thought like no one ever played it, let alone years ago. yet its 2022 and people are still killing it! this is so awesome

TAS players watching regular speedrunners: "Look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of your power."

I was just looking at your channel wondering when the next post was gonna be!! This timing was perfect

I don't know how much work has gone into making this type of run but I would like to see a comparison of top human runs vs tas runs without inhuman bugs to see exactly how close the top runners are to the 'perfect' 'glitchless' runs.

I didn't fully believe the title at first... but these really are mindblowingly creative and unique!

0:58 this is both a hate crime and a love letter to TMNF fans. I got flashbacks of playing these tracks all these years ago. INSANE.

Thanks Wirtual for making these amazing videos about what has always been my favorite game since I'm a child. You're the only person I've ever supported using Patreon and I will definitely will keep doing so.

7:18 i feel like if any of these skips can be pulled off, this is the one, and i can't wait to see it done

I'm so happy TAS exists because it means more content from Wirtual

I swear these runs will be done someday and everyone will freak like when the 13 year inpossible shortcut was done

I'm on the hospital rn because I have Covid, only Wirtual to make my day with a new shiny video ♥

Dude I have never heard of this game nor do I even want to play it but these are so entertaining and I can't stop watching em

This looks too unreal! These shortcuts are truly amazing, too bad they aren't humanly possible (yet?). Awesome video! And you never know, maybe we will see one of these done by a human.

Why is the Uberbug so Funny, its like someone just hit me with a *Comically Large Spoon*

props to Donadigo for making so many amazing tools

Once uni starts again, I’ll create a Wirtual playlist for studying. His voice is so soothing and calming :3

9:03 i can't believe it, omg

I don't play tm but I love the content from wirtual. I know I'll probably never play this game but his content is so easy to watch all the way through. I think it's because he explains everything so thoroughly that I feel well versed in the idiosyncrasies of this game.

8:55 he just pulled the FASTEST 180 I'VE EVER SEEN

Wirtual I have no idea of you'll see this but I've been enjoying your content for ages and it's just awesome. Keep it up dude. Love your stuff.

5:38 gave me a fucking heart attack😂

TMNF is way beyond incredible coming to finding new ways to complete tracks faster

I have never played nor will ever play Trackmania. But I'm here, subbed to Wirtual cuz his story-telling skills are just that amazing.

6:09 Tortugo:"Yeah it's gna need 2 nose bugs" Trinity:"4, take it or leave it"

May I just drop by to say something? Your channel recently got recommended to me and I love your style of producing the content you make, slowly working my way back into watching all of your videos from the past. I had been familiar with TM Nations, back in 2009 or maybe even 2008, when my (then best) friend really was into playing the solo campaign and also making tracks himself. Because of the fun I had watching your videos (and still being able to recognize a lot of the tracks), I decided to give another go at it. Tonight I downloaded the game from Steam (I was surprised to see that it's still free, awesome) and played through half of it. My driving skills, after all these years... They still suck 😂 But no, in all seriousness, I'd like to thank you for reminding me of some forgotten cool moments from a later part of my childhood, a transitioning phase from just a little kid into a little teen. Nowadays I'm neither anymore, I just turned 26 last June. Thanks for making me savor these little moments in my life just a little bit more. Wishing you all the best from The Netherlands.

This tool is giving us good ideas of what they should do and it’s amazing

TAS strats are always amazing, especially in broken games. Cool to see another game ready to be cracked wide open.

After seeing this game for so many years, these runs are mind blowing to see.

hahahaha that is WILD. i found your channel when i was bored. never heard of trackmania. i have loved your videos since. i didnt even realize that i own a copy of a trackmania game i bought in a humble bundle years ago. this tool looks savage, and donodigo if i recall was behind a bunch of brute forcing before.

I love that you put Plastorex’s reaction to the video

Even as someone who plays trackmania these runs never cease to amaze me

These shortcuts are soooo sick, would love to see another video about what's been done after half a year of TASing.

These TAS "bug" style movements take ASDFmovie's line "pff, screw gravity!" to a whole new level

PabloGD: *I AM the Tool Assisted Speed-Run.*

Given the wonky physics engine of Trackmania, I'm surprised that it took this long for TAS to become a thing. I look forward to seeing Mario 64 levels of physics exploits where tracks will eventually be completed using primarily nosebug chains and uberbugs for movement.

Your videos are so good I can watch them over and over again, I checked and I even already liked the video, and I'd like it again if I could.

10:00 that logo is sooo good designed

Can’t wait for part two when new tas-only discoveries are found

in some games there is even a TAS category specifically for it to be legal there

3:59 like a pole vaulter

I've just started watching your videos, which are pretty relaxing and enjoyable. I've never played the game and would be rubbish at it anyway, but it's fun to watch. I feel this video tho makes the game seem pretty ridiculous. I get that the goal is to just get to the finish by any means possible... But this looks to take any fun out of it... And if it's based on getting help thru a tool assist programme, then any world record doesn't look credible in my VERY brief watching. I prefer the videos that players have clearly spent hours on their own trying to complete... Like the one where you went up multiple levels and fell a thousand times.... But it made the moment you finished it very satisfying. I also enjoy the competitions.
