Shortcat has officially turned 1 year old! 🎂🎉 Most of my videos were in 10,000 VR rooms as I improved, so I decided to see how I compare to before. Good luck to everyone out there trying to reach 10K, 20K, or even 99K VR!
Actually watching it back, I think only waluigi stadium was a stupid amount of luck. Every other race was either normal, or the good and bad luck canceled out
Burn out on LA laps = get mushroom and take shortcut to 1st 😈😈 optimal gameplay 😊 Also that was just a random title I put at first, but I thought about it and it didn't make as much sense given the topic of the video.
Me: “Hmm, I feel like that comment about the chaos of lower VR rooms isn’t a skill issue, because getting stuck in the middle of the pack would be insane.” And then, the very next race…
Oh people in lower VR attack more? What brings me joy in life is being an agent of chaos in higher level rooms. I don't care if I'm safer in second place. You're getting the red shell. I'm throwing bomb items where they least make sense. I'm backing my shells in packs. Skill and hours played may be your weapon. My weapon is insanity. I break the mind of the competition. The male villager face, that smiling face, will forever be engraved into the minds of my opponents. They know they aren't safe when they see that face smiling at them from behind. Because once he's in the room, the rules are no more. It's free-for-all. I don't care if I win or lose. I don't care if I have losing streaks. All I care about is breaking the meta. Stay safe out there
Its impressive how much of a lead shortcat can get in these lobbies. I never realized how big a difference all the small skills the 20k vr range players have make
Even if a track doesn't have any big shortcuts, every little thing you do that saves 0.3 seconds really counts. If I can do 5 of these per lap, that's a 4.5 second lead by the end of the race!
I found you through UA-cam shorts and I'm not really a mario kart player. However, your video is very entertaining and your comments on this video are super thoughtful & nice. Very rarely do I see big youtubers comment as much as you do and it's nice to see you interact with your community through the comment sections. +1 on a new subscriber.
My confidence in playing at 16k vr is slightly boosted after watching this video. I've actually tried staying in 2nd with red shell protection, and it worked out perfectly
@@JamesPanoff 1250 hours, but a significant amount of that is just me leaving the console on while I'm editing, or trying to get footage for shorts / tutorials. I've probably played at least 800 hours though!
Shortcat: People commented on my vid that 10k VR is harder than 20k since its more chaotic but I think its just a big skill issue Also Shortcat: Next race gets bullied by items and loses with 8th place
I was playing yesterday and twice on Mario Circuit 3 in the exact same spot laps 2 and 3 where I was about to take the last shortcut a boo steals my triple mushrooms and I just get completely screwed over.
I mean, you can see how many shells got sent shortcat's way while he was first in the 10k lobbies. He was also mariokarted on that one race and got 8th. Despite all that he still managed to get first on most of those races. Like he says, bagging can also help you avoid getting mariokarted by avoiding the cluster, as long as you do it well. I would definitely argue it's more of a skill issue than anything. I mean, just look at how huge of a lead he gets by the end of most of the races without even doing anything special.
@@darao.4907 lol same, I love mk8 but I don’t own a switch myself so this channel has been how I get my mk8 fix in between playing on other people’s consoles lol. This channel is addictive
People who complain about how luck-based Mario Kart is forget that mitigating luck is also a skill, knowing when and how to use your items, when to save them, choosing to hold onto your red shells and not throw them at first, bagging at the right distance… yes there is a ton of luck in MK8DX, and knowing how to be good with that luck is inherently a skill.
Aww I wanted to see that Menacing Waluigi Wiggler player from Japan with 6000 VR points to appear in this video again for Episode 3 of him destroying the 1st place players during the 2nd lap. He was totally hilarious and brought alot of viewers and ratings like in the past 2 videos "Shortcat vs Longcat & Shortcat vs ShortRat".
I love it when shortcat finally unleashes all of his power just to get destroyed by a bunch of different animal species of the same, if not greater height
I used to get terrible road rage with this game, but your videos have really helped me get over that and just laugh it off, even when I get Mario Karted into oblivion. 😂 The games been a lot more fun since I found your channel.
Man i love the way you're positive. If i get hit i proceed to start punching the couch put you start praising the opponent. That's good sportsmanship right there.
Wow crazy to believe that it’s only been a year. i’ve only recently started playing online and i’ve been destroying thanks to this channel, congrats on 300k man much deserved
Hi Shortcat! I finally picked up a Switch and MK8D! I played a lot on Wii U 10 years ago. I hopped into Worldwide and all the tracks being served were 100cc! Also there was a 70K VR dude stomping the 1K room! Shameless! I'm switching to Regional anyway, so I can play 150cc, and because I have more experience than a typical 1K player.
Yeah, that’s the online experience, there’s always one person with waaayyy more vr than everyone else that dominates every race and basically ruins it for everyone else
Yeah it really takes a while before you get 150cc, but honestly I don't find 100cc to be THAT different. I had to go through that last year as well. I was the one stomping on all the 1K VR players (but I had no choice!!!)
Shortcat i love your videos so much i started watching about a month ago and youre already my fav youtuber,ive binged ALL of your vids bc theyre so fun and entertaining to watch!Also,you have helped me improve a lot!So keep up the great work!
At the time of writing this comment I almost have 20K vr in Mario Kart, and I wanna say thank you these videos have definitely helped me in both getting better at the game, and entertainment in general. Congrats on one whole year, can't wait for more videos in the future. (This also may not be so important but might as well say my main combo is Peach, Wild Wiggler, Azure Roller, and Paper Glider. May not be the meta but I like the way this looks on Peach. That or City tripper and roller with the same glider. I'm one who likes looks for kart combos more than anything else. 🙂)
Good races! I always appreciate Shortcat's enthusiasm when it comes to Mario Kart. It is very infectious! 😄 I had not thought about it, but, yeah, lower level lobbies do tend to item spam a bit more. Good item management is a vital part to becoming a better Mario Kart player. However, no matter your skill, there will sometimes be races where you have a comfortable lead and things just fall apart at the end from a last-minute Boo steal, Blue Shell, or from a barrage of Red Shells!
You went from Shortcat to SweatCat. Loving the videos a lot and thanks for getting me back into Mario Kart! You've taught me a lot about how to play the game well and I really appreciate it!
I started playing this not too long ago. At about 3000 vr, people will hold their items... a lot. I don't dream of rooms where they just throw so I can pass. I think the skill level is changing thanks to youtubers like you
I love Shortcat's mentality. He never gets salty, instead focusing on how he could've adapted to a bad situation. In a game like Mario Kart with an absolute ton of random elements, that mentality is especially admirable. I've learned so much from these vids about how the RNG in this game can be manipulated in the player's favor. Shortcat really shows how this game rewards the player who put in the time to research and practice.
Hey ive been watching since your "can i win by only bagging video" which was 11 months ago, and since then I've been watching your vids and i just wanted to let u know that you're doing great, keep up the great work
I found your channel a couple weeks ago and have completely devoured your content. Super fun watching you race and take all those shortcuts (I just realized today your name is likely a play on the word Shortcut!)
Another thing that adds to the chaos of lower VR room, ppl who get the shock will see ppl in bullets/stars and just straight up not care and give them a free dodge. Then the front runners who are using all their skill to try and build a lead, get Mario karted. Happens so often to me, and even then I'll blame it on one mistake I made earlier in the race that cost me a second or two and that's literally the difference between 3rd and 7th sometimes
Thanks for these vids Shortcat! I find them really entertaining and I'm learning a lot just from watching a few of your videos. I was thinking I was already decent at mk8dx I got a long way to go 😂 Keep up the good work! 👍
@@bunghiz cavolo, proprio ieri il mio wi-fi non funzionava, altrimenti molto probabilmente avrei giocato e ti avrei pure raggiunto. In ogni caso mi fa molto piacere che tu ti sia divertito :D e complimenti per essere arrivato secondo nella pista di Roma ahah🇮🇹
@@Siutaa ahahah grazie!! comunque dai avremo altre occasioni per sfidarci di nuovo, anche tu sei molto brava vedo! mi fa anche piacere che abbiamo trovato un modo alternativo per comunicare🤣‼️
OMG i think i got to play with you when you were recording this challenge! Not in the video but i was actually so happy i took screenshots and everything. I can also safely say you were destroying my room 😅
“bagging is skill based because you need to be the right distance away” immediately is one of only 2 people to dodge, and those two people get top 2. oh and immediately pulls mushroom to take the last short cut
You’re such a good sport playing this game. You’re all like “That was such a well placed banana!” while I probably would have just yelled an expletive.😅
Hey Shortcat, I’d love to see a ‘starting from 0’ series! Start at 1k VR, slowly work your way up one time (or maybe start at 10k for better games). Adds some continuity to the ‘trying my best’ series and will be a nice break from your other challenges!
i love how shortcat is basically roasting my play level this while video. all jokes aside i just got a gamecube controller and an adapter to use the tips you have given about gamecube controllers.
Yo! It was fun playing with you. I bet that Bird guy went wide to not risk getting starred on Waluigi Stadium. I was the inward that ran into you on Dragon Driftway.
13:25 as a competitive splatoon player skill barriers can be really annoying to break because people fall into this mindset of “I’m doing all I can what do I do now”, higher level players have an easier time identifying and breaking those barriers, that’s how they get as good as they are
Should have added a slow mo edit for that Mario Circuit ending like they do on horse races and such haha. But yeah I have started to realize too that luck is not as big part of mariokart as i first thought years ago. Edit: My favorite personal blue shell dodge was when I managed to do the snow land shortcut. I had to twist the drift a little different and do it slightly early but it worked and I was excited about it for the rest of the day lol
Yeah mario kart has very extreme luck sometimes, but usually it does not. Looking at average placement is the best way to go, and then it's clear that skill plays a big part! Also chaining blue shell dodges into a shortcut is so sick, I don't think I've done that for a big shortcut before! Congrats
6:25 The most satisfying thing for me having a big lead like that, is seeing 2nd place pull power items, like stars. 14:11 Also this, 2nd got targeted by blue Now lets not talk about triple reds..
your videos got me re interested in mariokart and its nice to learn things from watching. playing offensively is fun, a shot you can take is a shot you should take for funni reason
Hello Shortcat! I was just wondering on how do you film yourself playing MarioKart. Because I can't figure out how to save a video for longer then 30 seconds. (Using the capture button). Anyway, congrats on 1 year, and thanks for all the content you have made!! 😁😁
Video 2 of asking mk8dx related questions until I run out of them (or until I get bored) 1: I noticed that when you get off of a half pipe you get a mushroom boost, but when I see you trick, it seems the same except it has more air time. Tricks are usually supposed to be rewarding, is there anything worth it about going for the trick? 2: whenever you’re in a long-ish cannon glider, you use motion glider for seemingly no reason. Is there any benefit for that? Or is it just for fun?
1. I think tricking on a halfpipe does nothing for your speed. What you want to do instead is air hop to realign your kart. For example, on the Waluigi stadium left halfpipe, when your tires turn sideways you should hold left and press R. This helps you stay more left after landing. I generally air hop on every halfpipe, except the halfpipe before the gap jump on wii rainbow road. For that one I just do nothing. Sometimes tricking can help on a halfpipe, with the reason being to do a sharp trick or counter trick (i explained this in a short about trick directions). I do a left trick on the last halfpipe boost of waluigi stadium (you can see it on lap 2 here) to get a sharper drift. 2. I don't think it saves time, but it helps me move slightly in a direction. I've seen world records do it, so I figure why not!
Imo in almost all multiplayer competitive games, there is an element of luck. There will be some games you lose despite playing perfectly, and some games where you win despite playing poorly. The best players are not only the ones who play the best and most consistent, but also the ones who know how to bend luck in their favor, and also have a plan for what to do if it doesn't. Something can go wrong, and a good player will be more likely to overcome it anyway. Even so, the best player in any game does not win 100% of the time, especially in online MP games.
I'd love to see you play the high mini-turbo builds you've been using recently with Inkling Boy Scooty and Yoshi Scooty for bagging for a whole video. Put your bagging skills to the test!
Shortcat has officially turned 1 year old! 🎂🎉 Most of my videos were in 10,000 VR rooms as I improved, so I decided to see how I compare to before. Good luck to everyone out there trying to reach 10K, 20K, or even 99K VR!

PLS consider streaming or uploading daily even if it's behind a paywall (o_o) TinyFeline videos are my DOPAMINE ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪
Thank you so much!! I don't have that much time unfortunately but it means a lot to me :)
@@Shortcat321 you actually replied! after all these years 🥲 that's okay friend, maybe some day! thank you 🕊️
The domination is crazy, Shortcat scored 2.1 on average throughout the whole video and, not counting the last race, an incredible 1.8!
I am at 14,000 VR and I just want to get out of these types of rooms. trying to get to 20,000 so I can versus more logical Mario Kart players.
All the 20K players had to succeed in the 10K rooms to get where they are. Keep trying to improve! 20K has definitely been harder than 10K for me
"Mario kart is mostly skill not luck" - Shortcat
"Im not even playing well I'm just getting lucky" - Shortcat 2 minutes later
I took a break from UA-cam. I come back to catch up on Shortcat and wow, your editing is just so good.
nothing beats staying home from school (thanks Easter) to watch short cat
I just know shortcat tucks his GameCube controller in at night
"If I can hit someone, I'll just hit em!!" these people probably. 😂😂😂😂😂
At the start of Toad Harbour in these rooms, I guess you could’ve gone for two items~
I remember finding this channel when I was doing research for my English speaking exam and I've loved it ever since 💯
Shortcat mastering the cha cha slide and getting it 3/3 on Wild Woods is a dream come true 🤩🤩🤩
Gyrodos noticing my gameplay is the real dream come true

Shortcat 5 months ago: why was there a plant there?
Shortcat now: *I’m gonna convert to vegan so I can kill as many plants as possible*
Yo! It was fun playing with you. I bet that Bird guy went wide to not risk getting starred on Waluigi Stadium. I was the inward that ran into you on Dragon Driftway.
Heyo shortcat! Amazing video as usual. Just commenting to help with the UA-cam algorithm
13:25 as a competitive splatoon player skill barriers can be really annoying to break because people fall into this mindset of “I’m doing all I can what do I do now”, higher level players have an easier time identifying and breaking those barriers, that’s how they get as good as they are
Should have added a slow mo edit for that Mario Circuit ending like they do on horse races and such haha. But yeah I have started to realize too that luck is not as big part of mariokart as i first thought years ago.
Edit: My favorite personal blue shell dodge was when I managed to do the snow land shortcut. I had to twist the drift a little different and do it slightly early but it worked and I was excited about it for the rest of the day lol
Yeah mario kart has very extreme luck sometimes, but usually it does not. Looking at average placement is the best way to go, and then it's clear that skill plays a big part! Also chaining blue shell dodges into a shortcut is so sick, I don't think I've done that for a big shortcut before! Congrats
6:25 The most satisfying thing for me having a big lead like that, is seeing 2nd place pull power items, like stars.
14:11 Also this, 2nd got targeted by blue
Now lets not talk about triple reds..
your videos got me re interested in mariokart and its nice to learn things from watching. playing offensively is fun, a shot you can take is a shot you should take for funni reason
Happy birthday man you've gone so far already
Rod has been real quiet since this dropped. Shortcat winning the race to 30k.
"W- What?" Confusion
"Wait a minute" Realisation
"That was crazy!" Acceptance
Btw congrats on 300k subscribers
Hello Shortcat!
I was just wondering on how do you film yourself playing MarioKart. Because I can't figure out how to save a video for longer then 30 seconds. (Using the capture button).
Anyway, congrats on 1 year, and thanks for all the content you have made!! 😁😁
Shortcat always uploads a great video😊
“for once (again)”
Seems kinda contradictory 😂
Video 2 of asking mk8dx related questions until I run out of them (or until I get bored)
1: I noticed that when you get off of a half pipe you get a mushroom boost, but when I see you trick, it seems the same except it has more air time. Tricks are usually supposed to be rewarding, is there anything worth it about going for the trick?
2: whenever you’re in a long-ish cannon glider, you use motion glider for seemingly no reason. Is there any benefit for that? Or is it just for fun?
1. I think tricking on a halfpipe does nothing for your speed. What you want to do instead is air hop to realign your kart. For example, on the Waluigi stadium left halfpipe, when your tires turn sideways you should hold left and press R. This helps you stay more left after landing. I generally air hop on every halfpipe, except the halfpipe before the gap jump on wii rainbow road. For that one I just do nothing. Sometimes tricking can help on a halfpipe, with the reason being to do a sharp trick or counter trick (i explained this in a short about trick directions). I do a left trick on the last halfpipe boost of waluigi stadium (you can see it on lap 2 here) to get a sharper drift.
2. I don't think it saves time, but it helps me move slightly in a direction. I've seen world records do it, so I figure why not!
@@Shortcat321 thank you once again! Happy birthday!
Imo in almost all multiplayer competitive games, there is an element of luck. There will be some games you lose despite playing perfectly, and some games where you win despite playing poorly. The best players are not only the ones who play the best and most consistent, but also the ones who know how to bend luck in their favor, and also have a plan for what to do if it doesn't. Something can go wrong, and a good player will be more likely to overcome it anyway. Even so, the best player in any game does not win 100% of the time, especially in online MP games.
7:50 "oh f- gold" is this the first curse on the shortchannel?
I'd love to see you play the high mini-turbo builds you've been using recently with Inkling Boy Scooty and Yoshi Scooty for bagging for a whole video. Put your bagging skills to the test!
