When Wirtual told about his record I was so excited and then he said "Hefest got this run" I involuntarily went "of course it's Hefest"

Too iconic to hear the dream line: "Hefest got this run"

I don't play Trackmania but I still watch all these videos all the way through

Everyone: about to beat Link's WR. Link: "Fine, I'll do it myself."

"but then, Hefest got this run..." i've missed this.

I always love it when Wirt says "I got this run" its easy to forget he grinds tracks too

22:12 "However it's unlikely that any human player will ever do it fast enough" Wirtual said, knowing damn well someone is going to get it in a few months.

Me, only watching Wirtuals videos, not knowing a single thing about Trackmania: "Of COURSE Hefest got this run"

"It would take me about one full week of crying" -pretty much every Trackmania speedrunner ever lol

„But then, Hefest got this run“ Haven’t heard it in a long time. How much have I missed it :). Nice to hear it again.

21:40 - *deep in my psyche* "wait I know this melody" 22:00 - "Uh oh, there's only one way this ends" 22:20 - "oh jeez, there's an uplifting message, dangerous combo" 22:40 - "this encounter feels special" *sobbing* "I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend" *bawling*

21:55 the Outer Wilds OST

21:40 OUTER WILDS MUSIC You da man Wirtual

Wirtual: I waited to see if DarkBringer would retaliate. But before he had a chance do so... Me: Hefest? Is it Hefest? Wirtual: In January of 2020, Hefest- Me: HA OF COURSE. This was said out loud.

Man, that outer wilds music at the end. Hits me right in the feels.

"Well... you already know the line"... well said Wirt, well said it's always gonna be Hefest, no exceptions

Been a while since we got our last documentary:)

As soon as I heard someone other than darkbringer got the run, I knew it would have to be Hefest 🤣

I don't even play Trackmania. Actually, I've never played it, however, the documentary style of these videos and the amount of work you put in to them, makes them worth watching. Keep up the good work, Wirtual!

This guy made me interested in a game I didn’t know exist. Been watching them for months now and I’m hooked. Well done dude

"Say the line, Bart" 5:45 YEEEAAHH

It just amazes me that people are willing to be so inventive and determined for such a relatively small time save!

really like the idea of covering several, yet thematically connected tracks instead of just one.

_Trackmania is a game where you drive a car from point A to point B as fast as possible, and in the end, Hefest always has the record._

13:34 Plasto's reactions are always so good haha

I feel like riolu runs should be categorized as online or offline now that we pretty much know what his "offline runs" entailed.

22:00 YOOOO WTH?! Outer Wilds?! Never expected to hear that here. That's so sick

when he said ''you already know the line'' all that was left in my mind was : Hefest got this run, and he said it. Hefest is a freak of nature, I swear to god.

And then, Hefest got this run

Watching Link split at the checkpoint and race away from himself in opposite directions just to meet up at the end and beat his own record had strong TENET vibes.

I love the part of these videos where hefest says “im gonna get this run” the starts getting this run everywhere

That Outer Wilds music at the end. Such a perfect choice

4:34 One full week of crying I feel you

I love that wirtual explains everything even though he already explained it on previous videos. That’s why people keep coming in who don’t even play the game because you educate them very well

13:05 I was looking away from the screen, and said "Hefest got this run," nice! I don't play, I'm not part of the community, but these videos are great.

Really like the Outer Wilds OST at the end, that game has such good music and in my opinion, it's not used enough.

Finally another Wirtual Video! I love you so much! It was a long time of waiting for a new video but it was worth it to wait so long

I've only played Trackmania once before but I watch every one of these documentary videos, the details and cinematography are amazing

I think one ofy favorite parts about following this game's history, is that I can watch *full* clips relevant to the specific things being mentioned because of how short some of these maps are. Absolutely love it.

20:52 Never underestimate us Aussies. Were a dedicated bunch!

9:58 I love that you compared it to Drarker as he deserved. Instead of Riolu which Demon was probably comparing himself to.

5:45 "hEfEsT gOt ThIs RuN"

Didn't expected the Outer Wilds theme at the end. I love that game so much, so that made me a bit happy) Thanks for this. Also, a good video, as always.

I'm never disappointed by Wirtual's music choice in these videos. I was *not* expecting Outer Wilds

Ah yes, a video dedicated to Nadeocuts, my favorite part in Trackmania. Nice video

The quality of these videos is amazing. Wirtual has such a calming voice and the editing is also perfect.

You've made the Trackmania community at least one person bigger, as I discovered the game through your videos and when I discovered I can play it for free I just had to download it and try. And I'm hooked XD And I mostly get cleaner curve starts than the comparison runs stored in the game, but unfortunately I mostly fail to maintain that tiny lead for the rest of the track. But there was one track where my first run was directly beating gold, that was on B04-Acrobatic.

I'm a simple person. I watch a Trackmania shortcut video I click like. But the Outer Wilds outro gave me the rest. Now I cry. :')

Hey Wirtual, I just wanted to say that, your such a amazing KZfaqr, that I care more about your videos sometimes, rather than my homework.

I love that last track, where in the end the TAS needs to be extremely precise, and humans have to be very creative and refined to excel. 2 completely different approaches by 2 very different agents, for the same goal.

So I’ve been watching wirtual since March, and I just got a pc last week to play trackmania primarily because of his videos and to play trackmania, and the ending song to this video is from outer wilds, a game I dearly love, especially because of its soundtrack, and here is the outer wilds theme playing at the end of the video. It’s meant to be.

this is a gift that keeps giving. when I think that the video is about to end, another track comes up.

Plastorex is a man who guide others to a treasure he cannot obtain.

You're the great story teller, even i don't play this game, i eager to see more history from you

Hefest, my hero. Also, with Wirtual being such a good documentary KZfaqr, it’s pretty easy to forget he plays Trackmania well enough to get world records

I play tm since 2009 and even though I never got to such excellence to the point of beating a WR, I keep an eye on it and love the community it became. Thanks for making these documentaries on the TM lore

I do not know why, I never played this game and I am not planning to, but I love these videos. To see how you present the journeys of these records, is really interesting. Good Job

That bunnyhop shortcut was so satisfying and smooth!

07:00 B02 - Race is also the track from the TMNF loading screen, in case you didn't know :D

Wirtual confirmed Art of rally soundtrack enjoyer. That game is just pure vibe for me.

Man i was hyped for this when he posted on patron. Also image if wirtual did a video with his voice gone like he did on stream😂

12:58 iconic

Omg normal vs shortcut is my FAVORITE subject in speedrunning thank you so much for making a video abt this. Also, watching this, I'm pretty sure that I almost got the B-03 skip on accident during my first playthrough the other day! I messed up the approach to the jump but had almost the perfect angle, though I ended up clipping the top of the gate so I flipped and landed on my roof. Had no idea that was a skip so I never went for it again. This is so cool! Your video about the D-07 WR got me into TMNF and it's been a fantastic ride, keep up the good work! (That includes the editors and such too btw, y'all's work is stellar)

The Outer Wilds music at 22:00 is such a nice touch.

wirtual pls make an video about the legend himself hefest. I think it would be an intereseting and fun video to watch the story of on of trackmanias famous world record hunters/holder.

I was just waiting for the part where he said "Hefest got this run" :D : 5:45

BRO WIRTUAL IS THAT THE OUTER WILDS SOUNDTRACK??? YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fucking great

god i'm broken the outer wilds music made me tear up.

i still can't understand why rioulo dissapeared entirely. He obviously was one of the best tm players ever and I loved to watch his streams. If only he would have come clean about what he did. Surely, his competitive career would have been over anyways, but the streaming thing would have continues to work out for him regardless

Wirtual: uploads Also wirtual: hippity hoppity your 23 minutes are now my property

„Well, you already know the line“ needs to become as iconic as… well, you already know the line 😉

The TM community is just the most commited and nerdy group of godgamers. I love it!

15:32 OBZECOLS (obstacles)

Love the little Riolu trashing in the middle, never forgeti. Thanks for the awesome video

This Outer Wilds OST in the end fits perfectly. It caused more emotions than the rest of the video somehow.

sorry I'm only halfway through but there was an AD

Wow , Dennis’ run was literally like McQueen sticking his tongue out to win!

Love the Outer Wilds music at the end. Great video Wirt !

Nice synthwave song selection. Sets the right mood

a new video from Wirtual, A BLESSING FROM THE LORD!

18:38 Thanks for establishing how shortcuts work, Wirtual :)

As much as I like "and then hefest got this run" I also appreciate you add people who made improvements along the journey. Those people hold champions on their shoulders

You're such a good narrator, Wirtual. I've seen may comments about people not playing Trackmania or not liking racing but they still watch your content (me included). I think that speaks volumes :) Also, this video is like a representation of humanity and how we progress. Very entertaining and interesting. Keep it up!

4:34 Did he say crying or trying? I mean both work... but I still want to know.

5:46 ah yes, the legendary line.

can we take second to appreciate Wirtual's amazing music selection? They always go so perfectly with his documentaries!

This is the content I love you for. Progressive storylines and track WR histories and the "XXXXXX got this run". Perfect. Never even played the game. Wirtual > WirtualTV

Again Drarker would have had a record, but it was stolen by cheaters, this is only the third video I've watched of yours, but I feel like I've heard that like four times.

You know that by the time Wirtual starts explaining the bugslide its gonna be a good video lmao

"And then (enter name here), got this run.." Is absolutely my favorite thing to hear.

i couldnt have expected a better birthday gift thank you wirtual for this gem

"Hefest got this run" makes my day EVERY TIME 🥵🥵

0:41 F-9

The outer wilds music at the end really brought back memories, of me and all of my alien homies jammin one last time before the sun literally explodes and annihilates all life in our galaxy

The maniac laugh Hefest has after getting B03 WR 😂

Wirtual, update music list please. 16:39 music name please?

These shortcuts did what Trackmania is Today

I haven't seen any comments about it, but god do I love your music choices. Hearing "Beyond the Stars" play while people set new records is actually next level.

I will never get tired of hearing Wirtual saying "Hefest got this run"

First!
