[@paolo2763]

And right in front of the finish line, of course. That's peak Mario Kart

[@ItsPriyamSri]

They should really make the mini turbo stat visible in the game. It's a really important one.

[@roboverse6234]

exactly! it’s quite arguably THE most important one (the only other one that can compete is speed)

They could show it instead of acceleration

Your last statement about mini turbos is absolutely correct. There's a certain thrill I feel when I'm able to charge an ultra mini-turbo unimpeded then release at the perfect time. And it never feels stale, ever, at least for me and likely most other MK8 players.

[@NLookabill94]

Agreed. That feeling is unmatched in mario kart

[@Suprixia]

I don't remember the last time I paid attention to stats when choosing my combo. I just do whatever feels nice to drive. My main combo is baby Rosalina Mr.Scooty, rollers and cloud glider

[@lydellackerman800]

mii > any character

[@BlueStar0788]

Funnily enough that's one of the more meta combos because of the mini turbo stat

[@roboverse6234]

i can relate! i use toadette on the same combo! (the biddybuggy is tied)

[@annarenfold438]

I was about to agree until you basically listed a meta combo

[@Suprixia]

@@annarenfold438 I honestly didn't know that

[@adamalam1670]

Yoshi + Biddy + rollers + cloud glider is technically a max mini turbo build without losing too much speed. It’s used in a majority of world records and is pretty viable in the competitive scene as well.

[@Youre-Welcome]

Are you new to the channel??? 😂

[@Shortcat321]

It's 1 away from max mini turbo, but yeah it functions as the mini turbo combo in time trials!

[@jasongrape4920]

I love how you explain things while racing, you sound so calm even with all the chaos going on!

[@LNERFlyingScotsman]

I used to main this combo and switched around the start of Wave 4. This is still a busted combo and fully stand by it as a viable combo to this day

[@Shortcat321]

I'm not sure if it's competitively viable, but its definitely good enough that if you're better than your opponents, it's good enough to win consistently. There were definitely a few times I felt like my speed was too low

[@user-jn9mv1cw7u]

I think its just the cutest combo in the game, the colors are matching so well. keep the good work up shortcat ROAD TO 200K!!!

[@johnbrill7909]

I am impressed with your ability to pay any attention to the mini-map. After discovering your channel and watching for a month I decided to get a Switch and Mario Cart 8 Deluxe. This is very much not the Mario Kart 64 that I remember! I have played for a few weeks now and am getting consistently better at it, but being able to "pay attention to the mini-map" is a good long ways off.

[@closer5564]

It's always fun to watch your videos man

[@kaizoisevil]

I think the real issue with max mini turbo is the abysmal air speed of 7. The reason teddy buggy is so good is that it allows a setup where your mini turbo and air speed add up to 32, which is the max possible sum of those two.

[@Remzfx]

Video idea: use combos used in the black and white loading screen

Interesting idea!

I have a similar build that I use regularly with the biddybuggy, but I use Toadette because she’s cute and she’s put up good results for me on 200cc even way before all the balance changes. I haven’t noticed that the MT stat affected trick boosts until listening. I do know about the other aspects of MT stats like how fast you charge and the strength of the released MT’s.

This is my exact build lol. I love it so much. You just have complete control. The only problem is the low top speed, but if enough chaos happens it’s perfect for recovering and getting back in it.

[@RickachuCXVI]

But at the same time, if you just keep getting comboed by items, it's almost impossible to catch up without boost items. But it's still the most satisfying build to me.

Are you taking specific combo requests? I think Birdo, Tanooki Kart, and Cusion Wheels might be interesting, it has better traction than Kamek Teddy buggy, which I felt is a big flaw in the meta

[@pokeguitaristjake6300]

Ngl you make me want to main Baby Mario on this combo. I heard with fighting games you main a character that you feel the most connected to or that you have the most fun with. Some people should apply this to Mario Kart. Yoshi IS my favorite character, but I really dislike Teddy Buggy's design. I don't want to ride a blue teddy bear kart with a stitch on it's but that thing kinda ugly lol. Yoshi and Mr. Scooty or Biddy Buggy is very nice, and tbh, Baby Mario on Biddy Buggy looks like so much fun. Also the smaller characters have lesser hurtboxes and can squeeze through tighter sections better especially online. I know it only has 1 less Mini Turbo stat then something that has 6 higher Speed stat then it, but if you can snake the whole race that thing can be cracked. Thanks for the video and always teaching your viewers if they don't play a game a top level, just to use whoever they have the most fun playing as :)

[@soup3ppee]

shortcat great video as always!!! based on your last short, does a good mini turbo stat help offset bad acceleration since you can mini-turbo from a stop more quickly?

[@yann_ma]

no bc you need a minimum speed before you can mt. doesnt really matter tho mos high mt builds have high acceleration

[@soup3ppee]

@@yann_maooh gotcha! I figured it might let you charge the mini turbo slightly faster so I wasn't sure. thanks!

[@Shortcat321]

It is better to have more MT, but also there is a bigger difference for low accel combos. And low accel typically comes with low MT.

[@pga0412]

[@ceoofmemes1967]

this is my go-to kart lol. i remember in MKDS, there was a drift stat that told you how long a boost lasts, and the lighter the weight, the more it was. so i always use small karts cause it's way better in terms of drift and mini boosts.

[@Lonlonthecow]

If I’m not mistaken, running into items on someone else’s screen would be rollback. It’s used a lot for online fighting games, essentially everyone is playing client sided, until the game updates and goes, “oh, you got hit by this btw” however with worldwide connections, sometimes those rollbacks can take a full second, more or less.

[@Shortcat321]

Rollbacks happen when an opponent gets hit on your screen but not on their screen, by an item that is not your own trail/revolving item. But what I'm talking about is specifically trail items and revolving items. Except for those, every item you get hit by depends on whether you get hit on your own screen. For trail/revolving items, it's whether you got hit on the opponent's screen. For example, if I throw a green shell at you and it hits on my screen, I have to wait a moment before knowing if it actually hit you. But if I trail a green shell behind me and hit you with that, then I am guaranteed to have hit you, regardless of how far away you were on your own screen. For you, you might just see yourself get hit by nothing.
