​@@jt2006psFym bro Pinball is ass. No shortcuts, no comeback potential, no driving skill expression and super spammy items in the pinball section. The only upside is the visual appeal. Stadium meanwhile has the shroomlees cut and the half pipe section.

Yeah but when I win it's plot armor and everybody claps

Just wanna say thanks for all the good videos you’re putting out man

[@shinmu4125]

To be honest, i have never seen a room so close in score before (you can notice i dont watch games being played competitive so often hahaha), it feels any team would have won 1st place if any other had gotten the win in that last race xD Nice video!

[@decodescow]

This is my favorite combo in the game!! Her hair is sooo cute :0

[@kelseypercival8797]

hi shortcat! I found your channel shortly after beginning to play online. The first video I watched was your "what happens at 20,000 vr" uploaded a year ago. I finally got to 20,000 today!! I went back and revisited that video and I thought it would be so helpful and interesting for you to go back and react and talk about how you've improved since.

[@OwenCampbell-h2o]

Hey Shortcat, you probably don't remember me but I did comment on your hyrule circuit video a while back! I hate to see you knocked down and I hope you will seek the leaderboard again. Your video truly did inspire thousands, including myself. I would like to say that this video was awesome to watch and even more awesome to see you get your comeback! Thank you for all that you do, it has truly brought me joy to see you build up new players, grow as a person, and make amazing content. Thank you for the entertainment you provide and the blood and sweat you put into each of your videos. ❤️ 🐱

[@OwenCampbell-h2o]

I meant when you got knocked down from the hyrule circuit leaderboard*

hey shortcat i finally bought mario kart after watching your videos explain the game (i even watched the pro guide without owning mario kart lol) Just started learning all the tracks but weirdly enough ive watched your videos so much i kind of have a feel of every track especially cheese land. hope to gain enough rating to play with you one day! (road to 30,000 VR from 1000)

[@Star64]

Ahhh the classic comeback story of old… (Also 3 things I noted from the video: 1.Never give up 2.DaVinci resolve gave that bad luck streak following Waluigi Stadium 3.ShortCat has been using a different character each video to think freely, but how long can this go until he runs out of good characters to choose?)

[@gamerobot7]

Seems like a very strong room, in a lot of those races the pack was very tight.

WOKE UP TO A SHORTCAT VIDEO ONNA SUNDAY AFTERNOON!!! MY DAY IS SAVED!!!!

[@felyne1527]

Nice clutch top 2 on the final race ! I feel like european/american/latin american rooms are a bit more aggressive than the average japanese room because 6v6 is more popular here than in japan I'm gonna explain what I mean: In 6v6 killing another person/ getting killed doesn't have the same value as in a typical 2v2 mogi In 6v6 you can afford to play more aggressively since killing someone is way more equal to getting killed yourself than in a mogi, in a mogi it's way better to play safe My theory is since a pretty big portion of regular non japanese lounge players also play in teams they can sometime carry their habits of being aggressive with their items to lounges, it also happens sometimes to me Also Hope is really cool 💜🔥🔥
