This simple trick made me 5X BETTER at Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

- I always had a feeling it would work, but I was never brave enough to try it. Today, I have become Japanese. I am using White Yoshi in honor of my competitive mario kart teammate and international sweet heart: ZZ (super neet). Yoshi Teddy is the ideal try-hard combo for my strategy.

also I had no idea it was you lol. Whenever I see imposters I always check for Canadian flags.
Liam is here!!
I swear I came across you one race
Did you know it was him?

@@LitleKirbzYT I wouldn’t be surprised! Maybe like a month ago or so
Thanks Shortcat! After learning this one trick, hot Yoshi’s with Teddy Buggies within 5 miles of my area want to meet up!

For those curious about why Japanese players are so good, it's because the competitive community is massive here. Once you explore the Japanese side of RUclips, you'll instantly notice how seriously Japanese people take this game.
With numerous tutorials and livestreams uploaded daily by various Mario Kart content creators, it's no surprise that they have a significant advantage.
That's with every game sadly.
They don’t have an advantage…. They’re just better at the game…. It’s not like there is an outside factor other than skill level.
@@tcpanthers No in-game advantage, but their advantage is the ease of resources to improve. And if the community is bigger, then maybe it's also easier to find good friends to play the game together. When I was learning about this game, there were SO many times when the only place I could find the information I wanted was some japanese site that I had to translate
@@Shortcat321 that’s a fair assessment.
@@Shortcat321you’ve been the source for me and while I’m in 4-5k VR, learning drift techs, shortcuts im practicing and even the glider motions… there’s been so much I’ve learned from your tutorials :)
The mini turbo and speed stats are important, but it’s actually the Japanese stat that’ll help you the most
As japanese, you gain a 10% speed boost and your item hitboxes are 50% larger and gain the secret Japanese ability: Teleporting
pair that with the cute stat, you'll be undefeated
Can’t wait to see a video titled I maxed mariokarts secret stat and the thumbnail be maxed out stat bar that has been edited to say Japanese
The only way to beat the lag is to join the lag.
“If you can’t beat em, join em!”
Become a master of lag
@@croyisdeafFNFyes, that’s what they said.
The Lag is Me
You were supposed to destroy the lag, not join them!
Hi Shortcat!
I’m Japanese and now I watch ur videos everyday since I came Canada to study English about a month ago. One of the reasons I watch your videos is u speak very clearly and I can easily understand ur English. And of course, I learn some Mariokart skills, and actually I appreciate that u never get angry…😮
Thank you for playing with us, Shortcat!
I also watched a lot of mario kart videos to improve my English listening. Now I've started watching Japanese videos to help with my Japanese, but I still know very little.
TEACH ME JAPANESE PLEASE BRO PLEASE
how do you like canada? i hope you’re having a good time :D
@@wittykittywoes
Thanks! Yeah these days it’s getting warmer and I’m fully enjoying it
this my man! Sinds your name is correct English its:since I came to Canada to study English! And I Also like he never gets angry!
japanese person here! I love to watch these videos and try to improve my mariokart! don't worry, we like being called really good at the game even when some of us definitely aren't... loved this video, thank you ショートキャット！
Not sure if chibi is small or short but would it be chibi neko if it was in japanese?
@@MonstaThecookie Shortcat's name is a pun on shortcut so in Japanese it should still be Shortcat
@MonstaThecookie If you wanted a literal translation then 'mijikai neko' would make sense. Chibi is much cuter though!

@@Shortcat321fr who needs kusaan slides in the first place smh
Seriously though, how did he change his flag ???
@@MayoOverlord you go to the nintendo website and change your account info
POV: you’re bad at MK8
Me: “Man, I really stink at Mario Kart”
Japan: “HERE IS INSTANT SKILL”
Fr tho
For real though, I was watching some guides the other day for hyrule circuit in japanese and they are SO detailed
@@Shortcat321 japan is a skill multiplier
@@Shortcat321you think you'd go to the same level of details in a Shortcat Academy for Gifted Mario Karters ?
So glad this channel blew up. It's hard to say you're my "favorite" MK content because you're really the only one that's ever been appealing enough for me to care.
I'm happy you enjoy my videos! :)
@@Shortcat321 Oh 100%. I said it before, but you being excellent at the game and having a very level, "casual" demeanor is the most perfect blend of gamer.
This for sure. I think it's the fact that he often talks about the tips/tricks that can be done even in all his earlier videos. As someone who didn't ever care about MK, him talking about cool things that can be done in the game and diving into how unique the game is/how much depth there is to a simple racing game was interesting and made me a fan.
@@Shortcat321 yo when's the new vid coming out JPERM?🤫🤫
I definitely agree. This channel is the only one I watch for MK8 content. It's one of the few I watch regularly at all really. I just can't do face cams. If I go to watch video game based content, I want to see the video game. Not someone's big giant face. Please ShortCat, never become FaceCat
Man this gameplay is amazing. No idea what the guy is saying but maybe some English subtitles can be added by the editor soon.
Shortcat is that type of friend that'll lose a match and congrats you on your win. I love this guy!
Thats why I LOVE his videos. Hes never yelling. A rare sight among Mario Kart videos!
Only if you deserved it 😊

Hi,Shortcat I'm Japanese and living in Japan my entire life. I don't take your comments as offensive, you're so respectful and funny. Japanese are good at this game for sure but some are too competitive and serious. I feel comfortable watching your video cuz I can tell you really like this game, character and everything even though inevitable things get you to the low place haha. you know how to play and have fun with Mariokart that makes me keep watching your channel. you're rock
そうですね(^^♪
Shortcatさんの動画を見て元気になります！
Same here!
He now is ショートキャット
短い猫 works as well
@@noice1006although that does actually mean short cat, short cat is his name, so you'd use the katana to represent a foreign word
Shortcat is turning Japanese, I think he's turning Japanese, I really think so!

19:12 Rare footage of Shortcat almost raging.
One day it will happen
one day he just destorys his switch lmao

That’s not raging
Hey, I’m Japanese and I’ve been watching your videos! Even though I don’t own or play Mario Kart, your videos have been showing up in my recommended feed, and I’ve been binge-watching them. Now, I’m actually tempted to buy Mario Kart because of you! 😂
Pro tip
Don’t lose
I've found a lot of great guides and websites for this game in japanese, so if you do want to learn it then you'll have a great time!
@@Shortcat321Yeah once I get my hands on mario kart, I think I’m gonna be looking at some Japanese guides, as well as your videos to memorize and get the hang of all the shortcuts! By the way, do you have any guides for which track I should be front running and which track I should be bagging? As a new player, I think one of the first things I’m gonna struggle with is understanding when to front run and when to bag, except for few courses.
@@Shark-vx7nlFrom watching a lot of his videos, I've come to learn that normally you bag on maps that have lots of shortcuts in order to fully take advantage of the mushrooms, stars, golden mushrooms, etc. since they will easily allow you to take every shortcut. On maps that are more linear, with very little to no shortcuts, ideally you would want to front run, but bagging can still be used if you fall to like 9th-12th place because you might as well bag to catch up to the front. As a new player though I dont recommend worrying about this so much. I think learning lines, routes, and shortcuts along with item usage will help you a lot more than bagging. Once you get the hang of maps, shortcuts, and knowing when to attack or defend with your items, you can start throwing bagging strategies into the mix. Good luck on your races!
@@Ineverdie08 Thanks for the reply! I guess I shouldn’t worry too much about bagging and focus more on getting the hang of all the shortcuts first!
"I'm like a Ness player in Super Smash Bros: Just hitting ghosts."
As a Ness main, yeah, that sounds about right lol
I'm all the way over here stop throwing PK fire
@@Shortcat321 NEVER!! >:D
Character with a baseball bat hitting ghosts?
Sounds familiar
Elite Smash Ness players out here fighting the enemy AND Casper at the same time
That is literally me😂😂
Japanese person here, Hi Shortcat! I only recently started watching your channel but its safe to say I've been getting a lot better at the game! For the lag, I do think I experience less lag compared to what I see in your videos, item trailing is a bit easier to dodge and there's less random stuff going on. Keep entertaining the masses! Thank you Shortcat :)
It's amazing to know that someone out there is not getting lagged by 11 japanese players at once. I'm glad you're improving! :)
when i try to hop on late at night, the Japanese players will rise up early in the morning to make sure i get 12th
“Hello, in this tutorial I’ll be teaching you how to git gud at Mario Kart.”
Step 1: Become Japanese
Step 2: done
Great video ( I'll watch it in about 3 hours)
8 hours for me
@@Franklin_JohanessanPathetic. 2876235 hours for me.
you have about in an hour when you can watch this
are you watching it yet
he sould be fininshed soon
I just noticed that White Yoshi is literally just the Japan Flag! Nice detail there lmao
15:57 i think that's the first ever time i've seen the blooper hide something on screen in any game. rewatching it, you can see the top of the banana for a couple frames, and then right before you get hit. that's wild
Hey shortcat I live in Japan! I really enjoy watching your videos~ I don’t even have a copy of Mariocart but I watch your videos cuz they are just so entertaining! Keep up the good work!
oh my gosh, this video is so funny- like you can't make this stuff up, you had a bit and it actually worked out which made it even funnier! genuinely one of the best mario kart videos I've ever seen, keep up the good work Shortcat
Thanks so much haha it's all gonna go downhill from here
In ZZ we trust
another trick is to live in New Zealand, since the timezone is ahead of Japan, your ping will be negative and you will be ahead of their time instead of lagging behind.
lmao
I travel back and forth between the Japan and USA regions for life (as opposed to for work) and I can confidently say that in addition to the lag, the Japan lobbies *are* just better.
More players in Japan will put more effort into getting good, memorizing patterns, absorbing strategies, and learning from mistakes/bad habits than in the US. This makes even casual lobbies even a bit harder, forcing even the more casual players to toughen up to survive.
In the US region, I feel like there are a bunch more players trying to force things that don't work, who balk at learning anything deeper than the basic controls, and are quick to give up if something beats them a lot.
Of course the good players are good in both regions, but when I hop online in the US, there's an idiom I never used before that pops in my head: "like shooting fish in a barrel." XD
Shortcat finally got the Japanese plot armor! He can't lose!!
‘can i get a coin in 4th? i’d love one right now!’ said nobody ever😂
Another amazing video by Chibi Neko!
Chibi Neko means Small Cat, not Shortcat
shortcat is a play on the world shortcut so it would still be shortcat but in katakana haha
@@Eden-kw1kw close enough
@@victoryuji7522 Fair
Props to Shortcat for always playing with Japanese players and dealing with lag. I hate that trail items from another player only hits you on their screen but if that person is in a star or bullet, then you only get hit on your screen. I feel getting hit should only be on the screen of the player getting hit. Maybe it'll happen in MK9 when it comes out in 10 years
How is the quality of your videos so good? Makes it so much more enjoyable than the other MK RUclipsrs. Also your explaining is awesome. You're literally the best MK8D RUclipsr in the world!
I have always wanted to learned how to better in Mario Kart, and my progression is all because of you. Thank you for what you have given me. At the moment, I have this exact video opened on a T.V., Just so I can still watch this video. Also, for 200 cc DK moumyain, you want to take a sharper turn for the shortcut. Hope it helps 😊
*mountain
i also enjoy your vids so much you have such a good energy keep it up ❤
Love your videos man. Brings back my child hood days playing the n64 versions of Mario Kart!!
White Yoshi looks like the Japanese flag 🇯🇵
Shortcat your positivity always puts a smile on my face😀
Always a good day when shortcat uploads. He hadn't dropped for a while, so seeing another vid is making my entire month. I also have a question. Can you please do a challenge where you take bad lines, unless there's a shortcut? Honestly, I've tried it and there are some hype moments
I’ve learned a lot from you shortcat keep it up
wowwww im early! great video shortcat!!!
yes we love ZZ 😭🙏
the pause was diabolical 1:57
also i did not expect the tip being japanese-
keep doing what youre doing, its really awesome!
Good morning from Japan!!
Thank you for your video and I watch your videos for studying of English
ショートキャット is literally perfect both in terms of pronunciation and meaning!!!!!
honestly you are probably my favourite youtuber, no one else comes close to your radiant and cheerful personality! i love your ability to say "welp, my bad" when you make a mistake, and you learn from it and move on! i honestly need to be more like you
mabye the japanese got access to the switch 3 years early and got really good at the game
Mfs when they discover mario kart 8 wii u
Hey shortcat, hope you’re doing well and I love all your vids!
Here’s a suggestion; ranking all tracks? I know, it would be a long one and with the pro guide soon, please don’t stress go out of your way to do this, as I already know you are probably working had on the pro guide. But just a suggestion ☺️
Shortcat became Senohikuineko
I was thinking more along the lines of Nagasanohikuineko (長さの低い猫)
You have such great videos thanks for the tip!
ngl you made me so much better at mario kart bro, im dominating everyone i know and im averaging around 1-3 every race online, THANK YOU.
Great video ショトキャット!
I’m going to learn from your techniques and join the lag haha
It amuses me that RUclips translates it to Shotocat lol
@@onebear6504 That's because the commenter spelt it wrong lol

The dedication to Japanese is admirable. I went to the Reverso website, set it up to translate English to Japanese, typed in "Shortcat" in the English section, and what I got on the Japanese section is the first place username. 👍
Flipping the sides around to translate those Japanese symbols to English worked almost as well. Reverso put a space in between "Short" and "cat" because it doesn't recognize "Shortcat", all one word, as an actual word. 🤣

Stilt hop! Silly Shy Guy on stilts. 😆

Meanwhile, I'm better at 200cc than I ever was before (but I still suck, so don't get that twisted 😆) because I've been doing some 200cc time trials (which I didn't bother to do before Wave 6 dropped).
12:09
I gotta disagree. Toad's Turnpike (which *was* great on the N64 but isn't anymore), Baby Park (which *can* be great if there are *no COMs* and exactly 5 or 6 players), and Los Angeles Laps (which was never great the way we actually got it, as over 99% of the course was botched to the point where it became jank) exist. 💔

I love making this commentary whenever it legitimately applies. It's one of the silliest pleasures I have in the Mario universe. 🤣❤

The item warfare up front and these recovery strips do allow for comebacks, but it's not a reliable strategy if you're unfortunate enough to fall behind (like you did in this race up to this point).
25:49
Told you comebacks are possible. 😆
A rare "I told you so" moment in my commentary on a Shortcat video. This might be the proudest I've ever been. 😎
You got me to start playing Mario kart online for the first time today, hoping to be able to play with you one day 😊
It’s awesome that your channel is growing so fast so soon
I just started recently watching his channel and I noticed Shortcat is getting like 5K subs each week. At this rate, he’ll even catch up or even surpass Troy (TWD98) by the end of the year
Think about it. If speedrunners play the Japanese version of games to go faster, clearly the same would work in MK.
