The guy saying acceleration is the most important stat has gone real quiet after seeing king boo outrun a blue shell at 200cc

That reveal of the whole room using Yoshi Teddy Buggy was so good

Outrunning the Blue Shell was impressive.

Hearing Daisy say “Bye bye!” after slipstreaming Shortcat at 6:13 before proceeding to trail him is so funny to me.

I did NOT know you could outrun a blueshell for THAT long, thats insane lmao

Mario Kart makes is hard to achieve 10,000VR and then 20,000VR when you're close to it. When you're around 8-9k or 17-19k, most of the time you're put in a room with people that have less VR then you. So when you get a good placement you'll get very little VR but if you get a bad placement, you lose a lot of VR. It's annoying

26:23 First of all crazy how Shortcat outran the blue shell and second ,Noooo we didn't get to hear the "oof" after getting after the line 😢😂

one of my toxic traits is thinking I could easily beat anyone at this level easily when I only have 9000 VR

i want you to know that everytime i open youtube i check your channel hoping you've uploaded... shortcat is the goat all around, cool personality, good at the game, pleasant voice etc.

I was blown away by Shortcat having 20,000, but after seeing that one player in the lobby with 57,000 only gaining 2 for getting third, I wonder how many games they must have played…

The really low VR people might just be splitscreen with higher level friends! I can definitely get an argument for “people will be alright against people as good as their friends, but people playing on their own wont enjoy an inability to win”

Shortcat is so chill its addicting

Bro the bullet + lightning RNG on cheese land was the most shortcat moment of all time and I am all here for it 🗣️😭

I picked up mk8 deluxe after a while of not playing and only playing casually when I had and felt really discouraged after trying to play online I was suddenly recommended your channel and checked it out. I’ve seen all your videos at this point and now feel so much better about what I need to do to practice and improve, and I have excitement for playing the game again!! Thanks for all your content, you put a lot of effort into explaining everything and it really helps new to competitive players. It’s also super fun to watch! 🙏🏼✨

I don't know if you take stupid idea suggestions, but you might want to try max invincibility. I'd recommend BabyRosa/GLA/Off-Road/GoldenGlider. You could also use Petey for high speed.

Shortcat’s cheese land races are so good that I almost think he edits out his bad ones 😂😂😂

Watching your videos has inspired me to play online more often, and the things I learned from you and a few other youtubers have taken me from not really playing consistently to going from 4000 to 5000 VR in a single day, and I feel confident that I could make it to 10000 soon too! So thanks for reigniting my passion for this game, even if I will adamantly use the B-Dasher despite its stats 😂

the blue shell chase at the end was insane lmao

I don’t play this game or Nintendo at all but this sparked the child in me and for a solid 30 minutes I forgot about all my problems in life. And was so focus on you explaining the game as you played great video.

This quickly becoming my favorite channel Keep it up!

13:00 that reveal of the Yoshi hive mind with the boom sound got me ngl

Hey man, I just got 10,000VR, and I really just have you to thank, you have been so helpful and so much fun to watch! Keep doing what your doing, it’s great!

Meanwhile in Wii U Mario Kart 8 when you’re almost at 10,000 vr you end up in 80,000 vr Lobbies

You're channel makes me so hyped when you play to the point that it makes me act like an excited kid. You literally brought the kid out of me!

CMON 200K! Ur videos just keep on getting better. I don't know what it is but ur doing something right.

I always enjoy watching your videos. Looking forward to the next one. 😁

im not even into mario kart like that but this is probably one of my fav channels LOL. makes me want to play more :3

Great video, fun to follow your progress! And an episode on Piranha Plant Slide would be interesting, I think a lot of us struggle with this track

Been loving the content recently, it brings to light how much skill can go into MK. Just wondering if you would ever consider streaming MK, maybe just grinding VR, or messing around with random combos?

Congrats on hitting 20k now your rooms are going to be a little tougher

Hey friend, new sub here. I love your gameplay and also love that you have clean language and refrain from blasphemy, kudos and keep up the nice work

Shortcat, don’t be intimidated by these high VR Japanese players, you have a higher cute stat than all these Yoshi Teddy Buggies

Shortcat!!! Love your vids man. Waiting on the edge of my seat for beginner to pro! Keep up the great content. ❤

im just glad the new meta character is yoshi so at least there is some variety with yoshis colors

I love that strat of bagging/frontrun depending what happens to you. I usually do the same unless it's Cheese Land type of tracks. If I get mario karted, I might as well bag a little

I can't wait to become as good as you are Shortcat! I still have to learn a lot and make better short cuts. I am now at something like 11400 VR and it is very fun now to play online

just got mario kart bc of u thank you so much for the content

i love piranha plant slide, would love to see a time trial for it. Its one of the more complex tracks in terms of lines

the sound effect that you use at 13:00 always cracks me up no matter how many times you use it

As of current state of playing this game in at 4.5k VR atm I still really love the king boo combo you have a lot ^^ cause king boo is my main too cause he's cute ^^ maybe one day I probably should aim for 10k VR. I don't have the best track knowledge in certain tracks, but I do know certain shortcuts in lot of other tracks! But that last part had me dying XD you litterally outran a blue shell. Which makes me wonder if you are able to outrun it if you had 1 less coin instead of 10. But very nice video shortcat!!

Coming back to this video to say that i really loved this video and I would pay to see a reeally long video like this everyday

this guy is nice to have on as background noise its somehow calming ....also that orange yoshi he reshows just had a star inside of a boo thats why he just randomly appeared

I like your content. I'm not even that big of a mario kart fan I barely play it at all. Would write an essay to explain what is great in your content and all that but I have a headache but you'll figure it out on your own do your thing and I'll enjoy it

Yeah the Tick-Tock Clock video was nice, would be fun watching you figure out Piranha Plant Slide strats as well

I despise people who say "first" with a burning passion

after recently seeing Shortcat's Tick Tock Clock time trials video it's just so satisfying to see him win on the first race

Congratulations on getting to the realm of 20k players! It's a new era of shortcat content with new tracks (first time Singapore Speedway appeared in your video I think) and new rivals! Also, although I am no expert, but my guess with why they just categorize your VR rather than grouping with people of the same VR is as a *performance shortcat* . If the system computes your VR with those matching up of similar VR, it needs to track said individuals one by one, checks them against your VR, calculates how far your VR is to them, and repeat until it creates a group that averages the VR in the room. Plus the system will do all this all at once (multitask) per player. But if there's a category in advance, the system don't need to check individuals one by one and just look at the tag and stuff them to the closest group. Perhaps some outliers (way higher or lower than the category) appeared here and there due to lack of available players to match up at that instant and the system just f it and put them anywhere available within good connection range so they can deal with the next people waiting. Just my guess though, I am by no means an expert with software, but I think it's likely to be a *shortcat* so there's not much computation for the system to do (less load = less loading times and faster response). Perhaps, online games with silver gold platinum rank or something do something similar to match up faster.

Keep it up man, love your content

You instantly became one of my favorite youtubers. ❤

Shortcat your videos are cool and I enjoy them :)

I love shortcats videos with a calming inclination

thanks for the content while i was setting up my oh main cube

Thank you shortcat I love your channel

Was just about to watch an older video, but 3 minutes ago new video! 🔥

The "Japanese" lag is haunting Shortcat for Halloween 👻

Dude you're shortcat you da GOAT you cant loose to people who have 10K more VR than you

That backed red on Piranha Plant Pipeway/Slide killed me. xD

Ur literally my fav youtuber please make more vids on king boo! I love him!

HOLLY SHOOT I REMEMBER WHEN U HAD 30K!! ❤WOWWWW OMGGGG CONGRATULATIONS ON 180K!

I loved the vid and i wanna se if you can get a win streak of either 10 or more btw i like the thumbnail it looks rlly good btw on piranha plant PIPEWAY the dirt inside the pipes dont slow u down cool tip

goodluck shortcat! hope to see you soon when I hit 20k too :)

i love your videos so much please nerver stop

i remember subscribing to this channel at 900 subscribers. Now you are at 178 K thats so insane

Congrats on 20,000 VR shortcat :D

Piranha Plant Slide is one of my favorite tracks just for the song along. Such a banger.

Would love to see more of your tick rock clock type videos where you learn a track

Congrats on 20000 VR Sweatcat!

Shortcat is the perfect mix between a bagger and a frontrunner

2:15 a big part of that is actually the different culture around video games in Japan, America is more focused on casual enjoyment and Japan on competitive improvement

Currently on the grind to 15k and youre already so far wow

Clicked on this video thinking it was a guy playing in 20000 cc in virtual reality. Bro was decieving

Shortcat's the real MVP. He could have just kept all his game knowledge to himself to continue dominating the rest of us

I love how you change your name for every video 😂😂😂

The Shortcat Training Arc is over! Also making a video on piranha plant slide would be cool because it’s also my worst track lol.

Outrunning that blue shell at the end is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen

Shortcat : *frontruns* literally 1.5 seconds after Tallcat : bags Smurfcat guy : bagging is the best!

I did not know Yoshi Teddy was the new meta 😆 My lil sis who loved that combo a few years ago is gonna be happy

Thanks for all the tips and tricks

Congrats on the 20k VR!!!

Crazy blueshell dodge guy tricked the shell into thinking he was in 2nd. Can never underestimate high VR!

You know I feel like a big reason why the acceleration stat is so much less useful than speed and mini-turbo is because of what other stats it comes with. Having high acceleration has really good synergy with high speed for obvious reasons, but there’s no way you can build your combo to allow for that. Instead acceleration is maxed out when your speed is as LOW as possible, when it objectively makes the least sense to have it high. So when you don’t need it it’s in abundance, and when it would actually be really nice to have you get none. Just some food for thought, great video btw!

I’m brasilian and love your videos, congratulations😉

Time to creat an alt and call it SmurfCat

Can we appreciate that he got to 20,000 VR just to make this video

You are definitely worthy of competing with the 20k VR rooms. Can you do a video where you just stay in those rooms with high level players for like 10 races or something? I would really like to see your consistency with the best in the world.

Babe wake up new shortcut masterclass just dropped.

21:42 that was one of the nastiest bumps i have ever seen

Bro just out drove a blue shell.

@2:45 ish. Thank goodness you said that. I’m in the states but I’m up at night and tend to play against mostly Japanese players. I’ve been taken out by invisible weapons and players. I thought maybe I was just tired. 😅

Shortcat got so intimidated that he started playing like a 5k vr player.

As a player who has 5000 vr only I can tell you how bad grouping is. When I first started playing I would get people in the same range as me but now I get players who are more than double my vr. I’ve seen 20 and even 25k players in my rooms!

“It’s getting a little bit later into the day, and the Japanese Players are waking up.” Funniest part of the video to me.😂

I can't believe king boo didn't make the cute combo video lol, he looks so cuddly

i cant wait to get to these types of rooms but im getting vr so slowly

Thank you for the video! I am very new to Mario Kart 8 Online, and I was at around 1600 VR when I got matched against someone who had, I kid you not, 63k VR. I do not really understand how the system works, and especially now that I've learned 20k is already high, I am very confused as to how that person got 63k VR, and how they got matched against me when I'm a beginner. Everyone else had around the same points as me too! It was on worldwide, maybe an error?

Shortcat definitely handed himself well against comp

Worldwide is absolutely nuts when you hit 20k+ I’m currently at 28k vr or so but every lobby I get put into everyone is above 20k or 30 or higher. I still pull wins often it’s just way more chaotic if you can’t stay in front of the pack.

can't wait for the next video where you become smurf cat in real life (mario kart)

Oh wow, I never realized that there were such strict categories. But I will say, as someone currently in between 10k and 20k VR, the chaos is real! It feels like everyone is a competent driver but also a gremlin. A part of me wonders if I'll see a similar result once I break the 20k barrier. The ironic thing about playing optimally is that it also makes you predictable to other high-level players. But with good, but not great, players, you can totally get blindsided by something that's so dumb that it shouldn't work, but ends up working because you didn't prepare for it.

would love to see a road to 99999 or something where you are trying really hard and commentating like you normally do. I realiEd its hard to find videos of you actually playing as best as you can on your channel i think this would be a good way to remedy that while having a series that i also think could net alot of views.
