Shortcat's Competitive Mario Kart CLIMB Begins!

[@agustin12689]

Please no more competitive. I don't like these videos that involve teams.

This comment section is pay to win, but my video topics are not! But just for you, I'll do a competitive video without teams 😊

After watching you for a while, it looks like you benefit from a slightly faster (speed centric) combo.

[@sharma_anish]

i mean... with that comeback at the end, the deal ain't half bad

[@Notveryideal]

first race is typical competitive mariokart: excite bike arena and all the yoshis in the world

[@Artricia_]

A new Season means ranks and stats get reset. Its so idle accounts leave the ranked system and thus can prevent a lot of rank inflation (meaning if you're in a lot higher rank then what you're supposed to be in) when done right and makes sure active players get put into matches they can properly play in since everyone gets sorted out again

[@Shortcat321]

Got it! I noticed my new MMR was nearly the same as before the new season. Also I guess this prevents people from reaching a certain MMR and then just never playing again

[@YumeBoi]

@@Shortcat321 ye pretty much, other games that officially use this also intend it as a way to keep people grinding on the game since it resets or partially resets every tot x amount of time

[@mpownage4806]

@@Shortcat321MMR always stays the same, relatively. Only your rank gets rebooted

[@TopHatBear]

@@mpownage4806not necessarily, it depends on where your mmr is. Shortcat is near the median mmr so he didn’t lose or gain any. some of my friends below 1000 mmr gained a couple hundred, whereas I lost 200 mmr cause I was in the 5000s

[@mpownage4806]

[@DiamondRoller37]

Thank you Shortcat for making such amazing videos! This year, my school’s esports team just added Mario Kart as an option and, because of the interest you’ve resparked in me for the game, I decided to join. We had our first match last Wednesday and managed to win! I know I wouldn’t have near as much skill if it wasn’t for all the tips and tricks I’ve learned from your Pro Guide and watching your videos. Thank you for inspiring this opportunity for me, and here’s to many more wins!

[@yuuuxie]

congratulations!!!! i hope you win many more

Seasons are a common thing in competitive games. They basically act as soft resets. The idea is that it's fun to grind to rank up, so they reset you to let you rank up again. There is also generally diminishing returns on ranking up as you play more in one season, so the reset allows you to rank up more.

[@johannaswank6700]

👍

[@vulpica]

Can we take a second to appreciate how honest Shortcat is? He literally corrects his mistakes in editing, saying that he could've done better-

[@oskartholen7081]

I really really love these lounge competitive videos - both seeing your gameplay compared with others trying their best but also following the points is really exciting and the team aspect adds a extra layer to it all as well! I am happy to see you focusing on that! :)

[@Yenchy]

Love your new competitive series! And compared to your videos from a year ago, you have gotten a lot better! Just make sure to play casual MK once in a while. Everyone who plays competitively or very serious in basically any game knows that it can become really frustrating if you play too serious for too long. Much love from Japan :3

[@mightyhead4962]

Loving these competitive videos, especially when you explain the thought process behind some of the stuff you do (e.g with the lag on Rainbow Road).

[@matt9618]

That was so insane, start to finish. From the betrayal you showed your teammate out the gate, to you guys actually clutching it out in the end and working together on a couple tracks. I’m here for the Schortcat Cinematic Universe

[@Pokesleeper]

Haven't watched the video yet, but I've been loving the "trying as hard as you can" competitive videos. They really show your skill and give me a good chance to learn by watching. Keep it up!

[@asianck]

These comp videos made me realize there are some scary good players out there… and this isn’t even the top of the crop yet, since Shortcat has just started his comp journey. Love watching these skillful players duke it out.

[@domcii9558]

I'm actually super sad that J Perm, or Supercat, the channel that I literally just found, basically doesn't upload on his J Perm channel at all. It's my favorite cubing channel by far and most of what I know when it comes to cubing is thanks to J Perm and also the biggest reason I love cubing so much is J Perm. Much love, brother

Loving the content. I think it would be really fun to do a video series trying out viewer recommended combos and for the last 2 races recommend changes to the combo to fit the playstyle of it, but improve it. If this is something you'd ever consider I'd love to be first. I play Iggy, Wild Wiggler, Rollers, cloud glider
