4k subs already yall are amazing ❤ also heres a description of inside drift. 5 bikes (in the description) have inside drift. When you start a drift, they dont turn at first, and then it becomes a regular-looking turn instead of a sideways drift. You cant turn as sharply, and you cant hop to change your direction quickly. Some 200cc world records use inside drift to take better driving lines (like toads turnpike and paris promenade), but mostly outside drift is used online and in records. Inside drift is harder to use well, but it is definitely viable in competitive play! Give it a shot, i recommend the yoshi bike (and lots of practice)

6:25 this whole sequence was insane

As someone who the first time i played MK8 used the comet i guess i just got so used to it & " inside drift " that i dont think i can go back at this point lol finding out that inside drift was so niche & considered more difficult was such a shock to me a few months back. Awesome video ! :))

I actually main medium mii, yoshi bike, sponge, paper glider as I’ve noticed the extra traction helps a TON for in-drift especially. Always cool to see in-drift videos for MK8!

I've been a inside drift user since the Wii and Wii U days and I still main it today. So I'm glad to see people are trying them out a bit more these days because I do believe they are very underrated and slept on. That said I do think inside drifters has some massive issues that makes them worse in most cases over outside drifters, mainly due to these 6 issues. 1) They require you to know the map since you can't see what's is around the corner so you are more likely to hit a banana mid drift. 2) They simply don't drift sharp enough so certain maps like Dragon driftway and Bowser Neon city requires you to hit the breaks constantly even on 150cc. 3) they are alot less forgiving if you get stuck in grass or hit a wall since they will basically toss you in some random direction at times and they can't save themselves to correct their direction with jumping like outsiders can. 4) on 200CC they really struggle a lot more that outside drifters (not saying they are bad you can 100% make em work) 5) they are usually not that great at shortcuts. 6) they are hard hit by slippery maps and bloopers. There is a reason why inside drifters aren't used for time trials. Imo for insiders to truly shine, a buff to how sharp they can turn is needed, to compensate for this a reduction to quickly they gain mini-turbo stacks would be 100% justified. I think making inside drifters turn as sharp on heavies as babies can right now would be a good start, and then from there mid weight would turn sharper, and babies even sharper. maybe more than this needed, but its a good start.

The racing gods really smiled down on you for your final lap at 6:27 lol.

as an inside drifter this was a comforting watch to know that i'm justified in struggling with some tricks and courses

I've been maining the Comet ever since I read an old MK8 guidebook showing a lot of world records that used it, but I've only just learned what inside drift is! That explains why it always feels so weird trying to drift with most other vehicles lol

As someone who mains inside drift and didn't really know the differences between them, I'm actually kind of annoyed that the style I'm very used to is considered subpar. Kind of makes sense how some tracks seem unfair to me, but I still won't switch to outside drift because I'm so used to inside.

At around the 14 minute mark i couldn't stop laughing at you hitting the dry Bowser 4 times haha

Inside drift is love. It feels so good making all these meta players lose just because I take all curves sharper and cleaner than them. I'm long at the point where I feel outside drift is the weird one Jet bike forever!

i used to main inside drift but i stopped using it recently because you can’t do tricks like super bounce, correction hopping, mini turbo tricks (i think), and some shortcuts. soft drifting is broken though, as you can snake with ease and take turns super well. i love it, and if they add those mechanics back i’m definitely switching back

13:04 That is so funny. Already an imposter because you have such hardcore fans, I'm crying. 😭✋

I really love the feel of inside drift's lines. Regardless of how hard they are to use, they just FEEL so good to me. The Comet is my favorite!

I love how Shortcut was so chill with his imposter and he basically created an epic rivalry for less than 5 minutes

As always, a rlly entertaining vid and I’m happy there are fake ‘shortcats’ because it means that you’re getting popular

I never realized the Yoshi Bike opens its hand depending on the direction you're turining and opens both of its hands when airborne, actually adorable

Yknow I normally never watch just Mario kart content but this is pretty good, sub earned!

i love this channel so much, your commentary is great and every vid is really entertaining. i hope to see this channel grow so much! (also, congrats on 4k subs!!🎉)

Inside drift is so wierd... but i love it. It takes a little bit to get used to. However once i got used to it i kinda prefer it over the regular drifting. Its hard to go back to the old drifting for me, except for 200cc depending on the track. And for the mini turbos i have no issue getting them but i do use yoshi for the most part.

Learning all this stuff about Mario kart, I gotta go back into the game and see the difference. I was always racing with sport bike with slicks and now I see the whole world hates that.

When using inside drift vehicles, go for heavier characters, such as Wario or Warluigi with acceleration glider and rollers / GLA tires. Mini turbo is not that important in these circumstances, but speed really is.

i subbed when u were at 30 subs and now ur already at 4k :O amazing content man

back in the MKWII days I used inside drift a lot, I really felt that it was the superior choice, but now playing MK8D I had to swap to outside drift because most of the time you really feel like you get punished for using inside drift in this tracks

I'd absolutely love a flamerunner DLC. Maybe a bit more balanced than in Wii though.

Tip for using inside drift, think of the track being split down the middle, when using outside drift u start from the side close to the turn and end on the side further from the turn, but it's reversed for inside drift so you go from outside to in(I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense, I tried my best getting my tip across)

They punished inward bikes a little too hard in this game imo. I really hope they improve the drifting in future patches but that seem very unlikely tho.

Dude I had no clue you only have 6 videos and 5k subscribers, I thought you made it already 😂 you’re set to grow, the videos are great, entraining, and you are a great person by the sound of it, love your vids, will be watching forever.

Jokes Purposeful commentary Excellent editing Really nice vibe/aesthetic Man this is a great channel! Subbed!

Inside Drift is surprisingly underrated but it has a really good niche

Bro u make the best and most funny mario kart content (personaly).

I've just started binging your videos because they're so satisfying to me haha! I love the content and I hope you gain the following that you deserve!

I don't even have this game, but I watched the whole video in a hypnotized state

Congrats On 4,000 subscribers! And I hope you get 5,000 subs soon!

As someone who mainly used the sport bike from Mario Kart 8's release all the way to wave 5 of the booster pass (and used the mach bike before in MKWii) I appreciate you at least giving it a shot!

Im happy that i got good enough to get 1rst online with both inside drift and outside drift good video and GG!

Just came across your channel, and now I wait for every upload.

Sometimes I use inside drift for when I’m beating time trial ghosts in a course with many jagged turns, like Toad Harbor, or icy tracks, like Sherbet Land.

I completed my first profile with 99K VR and am now on my second profile with 23K VR ONLY with inside drift. I would love you show you some clips of my best moments!!

honestly im so used to inside drift that outside drift feels like im slipping all over the place 💀

Inside drift is all i do its nice to see someone trying it out

Inside Drift in MK WII: 😍😳😘🤤🔥🙈🤩🥰 Inside Drift in MK 8 Deluxe: ☠️

Hi Shortcat! I just discovered your channel so I was looking at some old videos......loved finding this one on inside drift! I play only inside drift AND motion controls, hahaha! (I'm about 7000 rated right now and still competitive.) It only took about 2 minutes of this video before you said something like "I can't see anything when I'm going around corners". That's one of the biggest drawbacks for inside drift. I'm okay when I play full screen by myself, but when my daughter and I are playing together and I only get half of the screen, I'm pretty terrible. She plays outside drift and never had any idea what I was talking about, until one day she watched my side of the screen while I was cornering. It's a big difference!

25:35 "I still have my banana, I just need a little bit of protection." -Shortcat

I hated inside drift bikes for the absolute longest time. However, ever since I reached the 200cc Grand Prix races, I've realized they are pretty much the only bikes in the game that can drift "normally" at such speeds. I've kind of fallen in love with the Master Cycle ever since.

I recently started paying attention to the competitive scene and what is considered META was far different than what I remembered, it was so fascinating to see that inside drifting was *not* considered viable, as I had been taught otherwise I think I was still in the wii u mindset with far more emphasis on weight and speed

You should do livestreams, I wanna play with you

I like how everyone just assumes you're J Perm and just comment about Rubic's Cubes xD

I was on an inward bike kick for a bit a couple years ago in this game They're really fun but it takes so much time to relearn that muscle memory and trying to figure out lines as there's so few resources for the sports bikes (Although, there is a set of time trials for inward bikes alone) A few of the tracks feel so good with inward drift. The yoshi bike and comet were already on par with wiggler in terms of stats, and with the balance changes they're the same as teddy/cat cruiser. In some comp settings you'd see some Waluigis on Yoshi Bike and they're usually incredibly good. As an ending note, I'd like to say, good crud dude! I left a comment before, and I've been watching your videos since. You're solid at the game and the worldwides are chill. Keep it up!

drinking game: take a shot every time he says “inside drift”

I started using inside drift just to mess with my friends a while back, but I’ve mained yoshi bike for so long now that I can hardly use outside drift anymore

I can’t believe you played with the real shortcat!

you have the best commentary and editing out of any other mk8d youtuber

Inside drift funky, sport bike, slim tires and wario wing, my beloved combo

I only recently started looking into advaced techniques for mario kart and dident know inside drift wasent normal

15:34 "this is why you don't play baby characters. you have no control over what happens to you, and that can be the most frustrating thing" accurate baby lore

Had to Google what "inside drift" is so I could understand what the big deal is a couple minutes into watching, and finding that out answered a couple personal gripes I've been wrongly attributing to traction... which I've had with outside drifting karts. Noses turning so far inward I have to abort a turbo before I wind up perpendicular to the track, sliding towards the outside of a curve and side-slamming crap when I wanted to just keep on turning kinda close to the arc I was already on (tryna make a minor adjustment and slipping three friggin lanes over), and not being able to start a drift three miles before the turn even starts like I can with (apparently) inside drifting, good for maps with straighter tracks and longer, more drawn-out curves. Thanks for prompting the search!

Shortcat hearts A LOT of comments, except the ones that mention the similarities between him and jperm. Kinda makes me think that there’s more to shortcat than meets the eye…

Tbh I like the looks of my insider drifter kart and now that I’m used to it I can never go back One day I’ll try to learn outside drift

I've been really enjoying your videos. Keep it up man!

Outside drift is a lot better for looking into a corner. Am I the only one who hears outside drift is a lot better for lookahead? Congrats on 1.5M subs

the one thing i wish they fixed for inside drift is the camera. just turn it a bit more towards the curve, you would at least see whats infront of you

I'm so used to watching you absolutely dominate (especially Waluigi Stadium), it's fun watching you struggle a little. Inside drift feels so weird.

oh god is this why im bad? ive been playing with inside drift this whole time

tbh u could rlly make it big as a youtuber, keep it up man

4:02 bam! 😆

I had no idea what inside drift was until I looked it up because of this video. I'm simply too stubborn to use anything but my boy Link and his master cycle tho. I don't even care, style over function lol. I think I'm decent at it at least.

Playing inside drift is really fun! My main is actually Yoshi Comet. Until blooper Or cheese land Or Neo Bowser Or dragon driftway 200 Or literally any other traction course ever

I really wish the impostor was called "Tallcat". Missed opportunity in my opinion hahaha

I ended up going for inside drift for my usual combos, and the biggest reason I was so determined to learn it was because Rosalina gets the cooler outfit on bikes

inside drift requires diferent timing, drift later than normal.

i’m an inside drift main, and going from inside drift to outside drift i think is so much harder than outside drift to inside drift. my first main vehicle was the comet, but then i went to outside drifting vehicles like teddy and inkstriker. recently, i realized that inside drift just comes more naturally to me and have gone back to it, and anytime i try outside drift again it feels so slippery and impossible to drive

I mean, I obviously knew about Mario Kart before, but I just started REALLY getting into it and I LOVE your channel!

this guy is defo j perm

Shortcat when he saw Shortcat playing inside drift: 15:06

I've noticed all of the wii tracks work really well with inside drift

4710 Subscriber, glad I found you! Very high quality video, love it.

Watching this man plays Mario kart is satisfying and why my game isn’t like this except for the shells

Ive been using the Sport Bike since like 2018 lol, seeing someone struggle with how the drift feels (as someone who thinks its the best form of drifting in MK8) makes me wonder if ive just gotten too used to playing MK8 like its MKWii

I hope you get Yoshi Circuit, in my personal experience you can smoke that track with inward drift

it's technically faster to be on the edge on the road like I even used this strategy in Mario kart tour

As a inside drift main, baby park is my downfall 😭😭😭

WOOOOOOOOO!!! Yeah baby, that's what I'm talking about 🥳🎉 Finally, someone has done a video on inward drift. There's so little content on inward drift that I was considering starting my own channel for this

inside drift growing on you as you had more practice was cool to watch; I always loved to play Link in full hyrulean bike :D

Jperm denying that hes jperm challenge (TOO EASY)

One good inside drift combo is Yoshi/Daisy class, Comet, Roller and Balloon Glider. Comet has by far the best stats for inside drifting.

This is literally so wild cuz I typically play with the jet bike, and having you realize things that I do subconsciously I'm like "holy shit, I do that!" In like not a I'm better than you but more like a I never thought about the inner machinations of inside drifting HSHDHGG

O, is that the yoshi bike? I loooove the yoshi biiiiiikkkeeee

As someone whos always mained inside drifting bikes to the point where I can barely switch to outward drifting efficently, it is ROUGH. Especially when it comes to online matches, despite my multiple years of experience. Unlike outward drifting vehicles where you can easily take smooth turns around corners and turns, with inside drifting bikes, you HAVE to cut corners to the point where you're barely away from hitting the wall. Not to mention staying on the very edge of the track to the best of ones ability. On certain maps with multiple turns, I sometimes start my drift seconds before I even really get to the turn. Its most definitely not as suitable vs outward vehicles, but I love maining inside bikes ultimately.

You should do outside drift but NO hop alignment😊

I was today years old when I found out that inside drift is less optimal... I've been using inside drift literally since the original game came out for Wii U, it feels weird doing it any other way. Rosalina Jet Bike for the win

shortcat dominating with inside drift lmao

this is reminding me of how good inside drift feels when you follow the turns exactly on the line.

It’s kinda sad how inside drift died. It was so good and op on the wii

i have a set with daisy inside drift but its not the baby one only the normal conet or sport bike hot monster tires and flower glider so i did win 90% of all tracks with first try on 150cc sadly i dont have a video of it ...... stats: Acceleration and weight 3 full bar, speed 3.75 so its not full 4 bar, handling is 3 or 3.25 idk and grip 4 if this is not working well then do it as a challenge at 200cc

As an inside drift loyalist, I dominate on all of the OG Mario Kart 8 tracks, from the Wii U era. Pure Sport Bike power

Ngl all these vids I’ve seen are bangers on this channel my new favorite Mario kart channel😂

As someone who pretty much exclusively plays inside drift and never bothered to learn outside drift this was a fun perspective

Hello! I've been practicing speedcubing for a while now and have achieved a consistent solve time of under 13 seconds using the CFOP method. However, I'm currently contemplating whether or not I should devote my time and energy towards learning the ZBLL method in order to improve my solve times even further. I was wondering if you could share your personal thoughts and experiences on whether ZBLL is a viable method to learn, considering its potential effectiveness and the level of time and effort required to master it. Any insights you could provide would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

I never knew outside drift existed until watching your videos, as the only vehicle i really use is master cycle 💀
