THE AMERICAN DERBY - Mario Kart World Cup Practice

Summertime is almost here which means so is the Mario Kart World Cup! The USA captains over the next month will be trying to figure out who is best to represent team USA for the upcoming World Cup. There are 13 tryouts remaining and only 9-10 players will make it into the final Tournament roster.
I stream most of my tryout matches on Twitch:

Fun fact: the chance that canada had 10/12 track picks is 1.6%

[@gyrodos8dx]

thank you Dion for the MK advanced stats

[@Silentstorm174]

@@gyrodos8dx rivaled only by France going 12/12 on track picks last year. Still upset about that

[@TheBena007]

Genuinely crazy to see Roberto on your team. He's my favorite inside drift time trialer, and inside drift TTs almost feels like an entirely different universe so it almost feels like some bizarre anime crossover, definitely didn't expect any inside drift main to get this far in the world cup trials! Hes one of the only inside drift mains who can play mushroom gorge so he definitely has the potential to get far!

[@jessesimpson1386]

Keep posting these World Cup videos. So cool to see the best in each country go at it!

[@JohnFsoto]

100% agreed

[@braydensecora3516]

Awesome video. Great communication between yall too it’s so satisfying

[@justaddclark9016]

bro was trying to dunk on dk summit

[@gyrodos8dx]

I was fuckin SOARIN

[@pabloqp]

It's pretty cool to watch your videos and learn while I'm starting at pro. Definitely I have improved my tech a lot through following closely some moves and stuff you do, keep it going and hope you make the final roster!

[@betabrett0223]

Good win, definitely underestimated Canada

[@Riyoe]

k guys time for the nerd bug breakdown basically the dk summit thing happens when you have smart steering on and you hop into the half pipe towards the later part of the turn, it'll cause you to start flying for some reason but you'll go in the right direction
skar also had that bug once

[@gyrodos8dx]

it is not because of smart steering actually☝🤓(the 2nd part is correct tho but it's super random)

[@Riyoe]

@@gyrodos8dx but smart steering prevents you from turning the wrong way and going backwards no?

[@gyrodos8dx]

@@Riyoe you'd think that but no it's literally just the timing of the halfpipe entry. I've seen plenty of people with smart steering on go backwards by getting a weird halfpipe

[@Riyoe]

@@gyrodos8dx interesting, well glad to know lol the mkwii lives on with this one

[@jakemon1017]

I had the bug once, too, on lap 3. It is the most cinematic way to win. Love going back in the replay and watching yoshi fly back to his people a champion.

[@LukeFourPlayerChess]

GGs and congratulations on being the only triple digit scorer. Did betraying teammates in a locked win last race cross your mind? ;)

[@gyrodos8dx]

every race I pondered killing my teammates for indivs (look at Hyrule for example I wasn't able to control myself)

[@JohnFsoto]

Hey Gyro, When is the MK World Cup 2024? I hope so you will be included in the main team

[@gyrodos8dx]

I think maybe you should look at the intro

[@NathanZipin]

How do you not get picked up by lakitu while doing the super secret coin strat

[@gyrodos8dx]

because only I can do it obviously
