Classic lounge. We got major frontrunning tracks and bagging tracks, excitebike, and baby park. 😩😩 Watch me dominate with my favorite combo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJOcgZ97d7Gpj9U Or watch me join the yoshi hivemind: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaK2d2yHdsZ2kJY

what does he mean when he says "i waited to use that coin to get a defensive item"? how does that mechanic work?

[@zerogamez0064]

@@jeriji6592 In Mario Kart when you are in first place the item you will have secured in a single ítem box will be a coin, what he did was save that coin and not spend it since the second item will always be some type of defense, such as banana, bob-omb, superhorn, or green shells

this was so wholesome, seeing the discord chat especially... classic mario kart warfare between the teams, but within the teams everyone seemed to look after their teammates as if they were their little brother or sister or something like that and all that with mostly random people

[@WeWontGoAlone]

I like watching you play competitive because it gave the whole video a cohesive overarching story. Each race was suspenseful especially since you were close to the lead the whole time. Nice touch including the scores the whole way through.

[@Shortcat321]

Thanks! I'll definitely do competitive once in a while

[@angelix.777]

i really enjoy your videos shortcat, keep up with the good work bro!!

[@Felipera_]

Everyone using Yoshi is a vicious cycle of it being the best, but using the same character is also kind of a meme, and then rooms end up like this. I finally settled with Peach + Varmint. I have been a peach player all the way since the SNES, and specially during my peak horniness teenage when Wii came out with the whole bike suit thing.

[@hueygamer3295]

great so see you play lounge! btw in the lower tiers people often just pick tier favourite tracks regardless of their spot lol

[@Shortcat321]

Makes sense. Imo I don't like that and I also don't like purely picking based on your starting position. It leads to less track variety and uninteresting tracks. I much prefer the worldwide system where there is forced track variety. I doubt competitive players would want that in their competitive format though.

[@unkirbyjosuke1904]

I'm just a little sad that Yoshi has become a kind of sign of players being completely serious, I'm sure some of them have to like one of the other characters with the same stats more.

[@pps7642]

Same.

[@wadeniedaccess]

Yeah, I genuinely feel bad for yoshi players who just like yoshi in general

[@hpl2113]

in lounge 2v2s people normally try to play the same character as their teammate, which is why yoshi is great because every team can use a different colour (not everyone has Birdo, Peach and Daisy are used rarely). in FFAs you will see a lot more Daisy, Peach, and other classes because people don’t have to match a teammate and can play what they want.
