I selfishly hope troy never retires, such a reliable positive energy and wholesome vibes. It might be a small impact on the grand scheme but I truly believe Troy makes the world a better place.
He definitely does make the world a better place, and will inspire others to do so as well. Whatever the scale of his impact, goodness is goodness. It is no small thing!
Troy seriously seems like the most chill guy ever. His videos are so awesome also. Seriously. No one makes content like him- really entertaining and great commentary. Best player ever.
My favourite non-meta combo is this: Tanooki Mario Gold Kart Leaf Tyres Peach Parasol Basically just trying to minimise traction while maximizing MT. It's a bit of a silly combo, but I think it's the most fun you can have in mario kart 8 deluxe. I was using it before the balance patch, and after the balance patch it got a little better. Also works pretty well with the rollers, slim tyres, and slick tyres if you want a different ratio of traction:MT. The idea is that having low traction gives you super, super outside drifts, which lets you start drifting sooner and get more miniturbos out. It also has a lot of handling, which makes it feel really nice to control. Having such low traction also means that, when you drift one way and immediately countersteer the other way, you basically go straight sideways and you can so some super fun manoeuvres on particularly windy tracks like mario circuit 3.
I started watching your videos arnd a month ago, and I gotta say, I watch these while I eat, before I sleep, and when I just feel like having a good time. Ever since then, I started playing Mario Kart more, and I've become WAY better. I just played and got first place four times in a row, then after that got second. That has't happened to me before I watched your videos.
Hey Troy! I'm loving the more MK8DX focused content recently! For the question at 33:35, I really like to use King Boo, Inkstriker, Rollers, and Paper Glider. hope this silly little comment brings more traffic to your video
30K VR is a significant milestone, I remember when I got to 30K, ever since I got stuck between 31-32K gaining Vr really slowly, you can really feel the difficulty gap grinding them. I'm pretty sure you're going to surpass me Troy XD
33:35 - My favourite combo in MK8 is probably Koopa Troopa with the Pipe Frame and Roller wheels. It reminds me of Super Mario Kart where Koopa was also my favourite character.
Custom vehicle colours alongside character outfits would be excellent for the next MK. Just give custom loadouts to quick select character/vehicle combinations if you're worried about people taking too long to pick their combos.
Troy talking about London Loop got me thinking. Burnout Revenge for the original XBox has a very memorable London track. I always remember crashing into the archways at inhuman speeds, and also wrecking other vehicles against them! Does anyone else remember Burnout? Probably not, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a more obscure game. Ah, good times.
My favourite non-meta combo is Bowser Jr, Yoshi bike, azure wheels and paper glider. I feel like inside drift takes the other racers off guard sometimes, and Bowser Jr is my favourite character
First a thanks for your Videos! You're what T90 is for AOE 2, but for Mario Kart! I really want to get into the game, but the switch library doesn't have much appeal for me, and don't fancy dropping £300+ to play deluxe 8. Which is the Wii/Wii U game you play regularly? Would you still recommend and is online functional still? (Anyone's answers welcome)
My favorite non-meta combo is Pink Gold Peach, City Tripper bike, Retro Off-Road wheels and the Parasol glider. I like how it controls, and the speed/mini turbo stats are pretty even
33:37 Not sure how well I can answer this question since I have never used the meta before at any point in time, but I'm rockin Link, Comet (inside drift), Leaf. I'm in the belief that if the game only had inside drift that this would be the meta. My build has only gotten better as the updates roll out 🤣
I’m a Yoshi, Yoshi Bike (inward drift), Rollers, Paper Glider player. It has the same stats as Yoshi Teddy, so it’s essentially the Inward meta combo. Sometimes I’ll play Luigi for that extra speed, though.
I can't wait to watch you play with Funky Kong! It'll be hype! Even if he doesn't have the best stats in the game, the sheer fact that he IS Funky Kong will make up for it. He will always be the GOAT!
HEY troy! why dont you have 10 coins? i thought you were going to get more coins? do you WANT us to suffer? how dare you not get 10 coins. i will be speaking with my lawyer.
"When you're not using meta." so all the time for me? I've legitimately never used the Teddy Buggy, Ink Striker, or Wild Wiggler. My main combo is Light Blue Shy Guy, Sports Bike, Azure Rollers, Parachute Glider.
personally, in terms of aesthetics, isabelle + cat cruiser + slim + mktv parafoil is my favorite combo, though my personal main is small mii + streetle + roller + flower glider i just really like the yellow and pink color palette with isabelle and the cat cruiser, plus cat cruiser has my favorite kart design and isabelle is one of my favorites in mk8dx, i love her voice animations and general design as for my actual main, i love this combo so much, it feels so smooth to make turns and it's mini turbo is amazing, like i don't know, everything just clicks with this combo and i find myself messing up way less than i have before ...okay fine i'll explain why i'm using a lightweight- i just feel more comfortable playing as a small character rather than medium or large characters, i consider my fondness for small things a character trait of mine, i just, i don't know i just like being small and take any chance i get to have it be that way plus i think it's a contributing factor with the smooth turn thing, like i don't know if i just have better luck with them or if it's just a skill issue lmao but i find myself falling off a lot more with bigger characters, though i feel like that's just because i'm used to playing as small characters therefore i can and will make turns closer to the off-roads, i can't get rid of that habit when playing as any other size sooooo yeah sorryyyy not switching
That's funny before Yoshi was even meta, I was using him either mr. scooty/biddybuggy + rollers + waddle wing/ac glider The other non-meta combo I use is cat peach + cat cruiser + rollers. I love using cat peach because it's so silly.
my newest favorite combo is bowser jr, koopa clown, azure roller, waddlewing. it honestly plays super well and i just recently got to 30k vr with it :)
Honestly, my favorite combo in general is actually Luigi, Standard Kart, Standard wheels, and MKTV Paraglider. Everything else feels uncomfortable to control.
-obligatory insulting troy for not collecting coins- coins: *exist and actively help the player with a speed increase.* troy: "huh. i guess i dont like profit." also; 4:20. we not gonna address the fact that red shell went past 3 entire people??
Hello Troy! I like your videos especially tournaments. Can you tell me how I can join a tournament. For example in May 2020 you had a magikruiser only tournament
My combo is kamet cat cruiser blue rollers cloud I’ve been saying chosen colors about pipe frame and standard for years now it’s a missed opportunity. With it would probably lead to skins meaning cosmetic micros but I’m in
I still can’t believe that whenever I’m online I have never played anyone who takes the main shortcuts like the gap in DK summit. I’m only at 8500 VR, but still the people are still good at the tracks.
I selfishly hope troy never retires, such a reliable positive energy and wholesome vibes. It might be a small impact on the grand scheme but I truly believe Troy makes the world a better place.
If he's planning to get to max VR in 8D by playing only in worldwides it's going to take him a while, so don't worry.
Most VR grinders mostly play on regionals bc it's free from what I'm aware of, and they also use multiple accounts.
He definitely does make the world a better place, and will inspire others to do so as well. Whatever the scale of his impact, goodness is goodness. It is no small thing!
@@evermoreevermoreevermore He inspired me to finally give MKWii a shot and for the past 3.5 years or so I have been a Wii Wheel master on Time Trials.
me too, been watching his vids for so long
"Mario Kart is all about forgetting the past and focusing on the Bob-omb in front of you."

My favourite non-meta combo is this:

This is the usual reminder that we want to see a Formula Kart Wii comeback on the channel.
100%
Don't let yourself feel too much trolled Troy, I like when you have more good endings than bad.
30K VR is a significant milestone, I remember when I got to 30K, ever since I got stuck between 31-32K gaining Vr really slowly, you can really feel the difficulty gap grinding them. I'm pretty sure you're going to surpass me Troy XD

33:38 I've been rocking with Ludwig scooty for years, always been solid but it's very good in the yoshi era.
Troy one of the best ever, if not THE best Mario kart content creator out there.
So happy Troy fixed the facecam mid video lol
I ONCE GOT TROLLED IN YOUR TOURNEY ONE TIME. Someone in front of me slowed down on purpose to star me
yeah MK8DX players do that
Skill issue can't done it
I wish Troy did that MK8DX tournament again. I literally got my switch the same week he stopped.
16:20 yeah Troy might wanna hold off on that trip to Paris. The bedbugs are out in full force
You were just getting beat up at the end 🤣 My favorite non meta combo is lugi, pipe frame, blue rollers, and the paper glider 😂
29:48 clown cars with koopalings
Im at 22k VR myself and i fully agree it feels like I really have to fight hard just to get a podium finish
Troy casually destroying Mario Kart online with purely trying to focus on commentary. 😂
33:50 I use bowser Jr. with the inkshriker
My current favorite non-meta combo is Mario, P-Wing, with Red Rollers! It looks snazzy.
Always a pleasure to watch your content, Troy! Thanks.
I now have the "you've been trolled" song in my head
Custom vehicle colours alongside character outfits would be excellent for the next MK. Just give custom loadouts to quick select character/vehicle combinations if you're worried about people taking too long to pick their combos.
I get my daily positive vibes here everyday before work thank you Troy
Great video as always, but please can you not put your cam in front of the position counter?
It was a mistake, fixed it midway through
@@TWD98just reached it to delete the comment :D

Burnout Revenge is my favorite Burnout game! Glad to see other people who liked it!
@@gregsagerer1441 No kidding! I didn't expect anyone else to know about it! 🤜🤛
It really was a great game.

Part of what makes the combo picking so long is the slot machine setup 😭 I have no idea what the order is it would be nice to see everything at once
My favorite non-meta combo is Pink Gold Peach, City Tripper bike, Retro Off-Road wheels and the Parasol glider. I like how it controls, and the speed/mini turbo stats are pretty even
Boy I was watching your old knocked out tournament playlist
Don't you hate when you are playing MarioKart10X and a random oompa loompa brakes in and forces you to drink his bAnAnA juice?
True frfr Sigma skibidi rizz W
10:27 is some of the craziest mario kart 8 luck i've seen omg
I'd love to see you play more formula kart wii
Favorite off-meta combo: Gold Mario, comet, retro-offroad, waddle wing. My meta combo is exactly like yours Troy lol
33:37 Not sure how well I can answer this question since I have never used the meta before at any point in time, but I'm rockin Link, Comet (inside drift), Leaf.

My main combo is Light Blue Shy Guy, Sports Bike, Azure Rollers, Parachute Glider.
Funnily enough I also like dry bones biddy but recently I’ve loved birdo + Mr scooty. Just super fun to drive
I wish we could see the positions and what place you’re in instead of waiting for the end screen and seeing what place you came
I always liked Iggy on the wiggler with cushion tires and cloud glider for no good reason. It looks silly I guess.
I have been playing MK8 since it came out and I only have 13k VR, Troy is goooood
also, congrats on 26k VR good luck to 30k!
33:46 Gold Mario, Buddybuggy, Azure Rollers, Paper Glider

Toad biddybuggy with rollers is my fave combo
Well done great video and as a person in the UK I felt London loop was underwhelming
15:35 no worries my servants is help and harm
Glad to see the mk8 vids again!
That's funny before Yoshi was even meta, I was using him either mr. scooty/biddybuggy + rollers + waddle wing/ac glider
The other non-meta combo I use is cat peach + cat cruiser + rollers. I love using cat peach because it's so silly.
U should do some more videos/races with JPGiviner
30:00 they did that with the bitty buggy
A certain RUclipsr I watch has "never lost" on Big Blue.
Who is it?
@@AbsoluteLunatic123 Look up never lost Big Blue and you'll get your answer.
This is a certified road to 26K classic!
It was at this moment that Zach knew he f'cked up
as a viewer, I can confirm I didnt even notice your camera until you mentioned it, we do not care dont worry lol
I always like to use Black Yoshi on the Yoshi Bike. Don't remember the Wheel and Glider Combo, though.
my newest favorite combo is bowser jr, koopa clown, azure roller, waddlewing. it honestly plays super well and i just recently got to 30k vr with it :)
My favorite non-meta combo is Birdo/Koopa Clown/Sponge/Paper. The combo’s stats aren’t bad and the extra traction is lots of fun!
33:35 I use rosalina sports bike slim tires cuz I just like rosa in the sports bike outfit
Honestly, my favorite combo in general is actually Luigi, Standard Kart, Standard wheels, and MKTV Paraglider. Everything else feels uncomfortable to control.
17 seconds and 2 views, talk about good timing
I'm late to this, but my fav combo is Bowser/Dry Bowser with the Koopa Clown Car, Monster Tires, and Gold Glider.
Dry bones, pirate ship, wood wheels, bowser glider
I use classic Birdo with the cat cruiser and red rollers for maximum color coordination!
Now that Funky Kong is coming to MK8D do you have any plans to make a new outro?
Also
B Dasher
Slick Wheels
Gold Glider
My favourite combo is Yoshi, Sport Bike, Slim tyres and cloud glider, maybe you should try it out sometime.
GGs in the first 2 races
-obligatory insulting troy for not collecting coins-
coins: *exist and actively help the player with a speed increase.*
troy: "huh. i guess i dont like profit."
also; 4:20. we not gonna address the fact that red shell went past 3 entire people??
my fav is golden mario inkstriker with azure rollers and paper glider
Favourite non-meta online combo since wave 5 has to be Rosalina, City Tripper, Azure Rollers, Parachute
my favorite non-meta combo is wiggler on the inkstriker w azure rollers. i love wiggler hes silly
That last race was sooo stressful
Rosalina-Splat buggy-Azure roller. It isn’t great but it just looks awesome and I think it feels good. I’d love to see you use it in a video
i think most of whats attributed to lag in this game is just people in boos
Hello Troy! I like your videos especially tournaments. Can you tell me how I can join a tournament. For example in May 2020 you had a magikruiser only tournament
Either iced out shy guy (white shy guy + all gold vehicle parts) or white shy guy with standard kart and leaf tires
I like default metal mario
Favorite non mega combo for me is Ludwig in the Mach 8
TROY...u really need to collect more coins....😂 lol
I play Birdo and Mach 8/Cushion/cloud glider, for the lower handling and higher invincibility compared to teddy buggy/roller
I use Kamek and Mr. Scooty with roller wheels and the parachute glider.
awh its ok troy the minimap can let us see your position anyway
Favorite Combo:
Magikoopa/Kamek
Comet
Rollers
Cloud Glider
Troy do u think you could keep the face cam on the left so we can see the minimap on mk wii😂😂
As someone who lives in London I was definitely disappointed with the London track🤣
My combo is kamet cat cruiser blue rollers cloud
I’ve been saying chosen colors about pipe frame and standard for years now it’s a missed opportunity. With it would probably lead to skins meaning cosmetic micros but I’m in
I still can’t believe that whenever I’m online I have never played anyone who takes the main shortcuts like the gap in DK summit. I’m only at 8500 VR, but still the people are still good at the tracks.
Yeah I'm at 6700 VR and nobody takes the shortcut on mushroom gorge either. Though I still don't know how to do it properly either 😅
It’s because u have under 10k where most players In the those lobby’s don’t do it cuz most of them aren’t very good
great video troy, but what is on your head?!!
I play Mario, Jet Bike, Retro Offroad, and the Zelda paraglider
Roy on mr Scooty is the best combo 🔥
30:24 presets would be nice in this case
Dolphin shoals is 1 of my favorites trackes
favorite non-meta combo is bowser, teddybuddy, rollers, and paper or bowser glider
My favorite non-meta is...
WALUGI WILD WIGGLER!
(Just kidding)
it is Kamek, city tripper, azure rollers, and gold glider
Shy Guy/Toad, Comet, Crimson Slim, MKTV Parafoil main reporting in o7
My favourite combo is baby daisy, pipe frame, roller wheel, parasol
I sense a great disturbance in the force: Like a MKWii player actually enjoying 8DX
It definitely is a great disturbance in the force if you ask me.
It also is if you ask me.
