The day that the buffs happened, I decided on Peach + teddy buggy, and was relieved to see everyone else picked Rosalina. Now I can't even pick the combo I chose myself without feeling like I'm copying everyone 😭 Maybe i'll just go shy guy streetle for the rest of my life
It is quite stressful sometimes, but the thing with Mario kart is you can't always control your fate each race. I just try to average out to good placements!
I've come across a different problem... To me it seems like the others suck at commentating, it's like they're tryharding too hard and honestly it's not fun to watch at all.
I think people just thought "oh now she's better than Waluigi" because it was an easy comparison for heavy weights. But mini turbo > speed, so I think a lot of people probably knew that yoshi was going to be better.
I run the same combo as you but as Ludwig and with the blue rollers to match the blue color scheme of the combo. It looks just so pleasant and Ludwig's animations are really cool!
I haven’t cubed in months so having someone who sounds like j perm (assuming it’s not him) in the background while cubing just brings back the nostalgia. Also I think his voice low key boosts me cuz I went from sub 15 to sub 12 during my session
I actually really like Mirror Mode. Since you have no idea where the heck you are, you’ll be looking around the screen more which gives you a chance to take in the scenery, especially since the race lasts longer than on 200cc
My combo lately has been Rosalina, Pipe Frame, Standard Tires, and the Gold Glider. I tried it because it has a simple, charming look and the visible stats are straight down the center. It turned out to be very good and unsurprisingly well balanced.
As a Peach main I'm very happy with the new meta, I use the exact combo as you but with Pink Parasol. Always nice to watch your videos and learn new techniques :D
I use this combo except Cat Cruiser and I want to use the Oarasol SO BAD! I just really need the Mini-Turbo and I prioritize drifting over occasionally having very satisfying color coordination. I want to use the oarasol so bad tho.
Shortcat one of the best Mario kart RUclipsr, your voice is just calm and relaxing, you should try streaming a push to 20k points online or something like that!
16:13 the exact same Yoshi that crashed into the wall right at the finish line in the race before failing to do the gap jump and falling... oof... that was not his day.
My favorite thing about Mario Kart 8 is that while it’s possible to minmax your setup, it doesn’t really matter in the long run and you can pretty much win with whatever kart you want. That makes the kart creation feature sound a little useless, but I also have to admit that every combination feels slightly different enough to warrant having a “main” setup. So I’d argue that the best combination is the one that feels right to you. All of this is especially true after the balance update. I try to stay away from using the “meta” stuff like the bear or wiggler because I don’t want to feel like I can only have fun by having a slight edge. The only reason I ever use the Biddybug is because Wario looks like he’s stuck in there if you choose him
I’ve won a lot of games in online mode too without ever discovering this channel or reading about tips online. I personally think one of the best things to help you improve is getting the golden wheels, where you have to beat every dev’s record on each stage. That way you can experiment and learn about shortcuts, and watch ghost data to see what they do and what you can do better.
I don't give a shit about MK8, I don't even know why this video showed up in my recommended. But I'm still subbing to you, and I will make a point to support your content, for one singular reason: you made a video about a combo you consider to be the best... And you immediately showed the combo in question to start the video, no beating the dog around the bush, no begging for subs, no fake hype, no Raid Shadow Legends. Just start the video, say what you have to say. I sincerely respect you for that: I wish more content creators on YT would follow your example.
Hey you don't have to sub or support me since you're not into this content. But thanks, I really appreciate it! I don't like when people do that so I try not to do it myself.
I got DK Summit on 200cc twice in a row once. I knew it was 200cc the first time, but that first jump / left turn strat. after the cannon the second race completely caught me off guard.
I really like the design of the Blue falcon, so I like Dark Blue Yoshi/Blue Falcon/Azure Rollers/Cloud Glider GLA tires also work. I want to use a different combo but I also don’t want to sacrifice too much. I wish more people used Blue Falcon because it’s not bad, still has ideal speed/mini turbo.
The blue falcon is one of my favorite vehicles visually, but I feel like sometimes i can't hear the mini turbo. And the inkstriker has a really satisfying mini turbo sound which makes it even more fun than it should be.
man, i used to play a racing game kinda like this, but a lot worse and it was really fun this game looks really fun too and you are so good at the game
It's funny to see this for the first time post- final DLC. More things change, more they stay the same: from now until the end of time, Yoshi Teddy Rollers will be the only combo ever played in 150cc MK8D.
I’m glad I found this channle because I was rly tired of everyone using meta, this game is so much better when you just stop caring so much about stats, so many fun combos and your the only person I’ve seen who uses a lot of them
I don’t play for stats. Or online. Anyway, I like the Pipe Frame with standard wheels combo, because it lets me relive the N64 nostalgia. And I used the Super Glider, just because it’s there.
I love using peach with the cat cruiser and azure wheels it’s so cute to me plus I think it has close to the same stats as the teddy buggy so that makes me happy 😍
I just recently began playing Mariokart Online and I do believe you can trail a bomb even on 100 and 150cc. However, throwing the bomb can be an advantage as it stops other players from catching up or chaining multiple red shells.
I used yoshi even before he was meta because he is my favorite character in the Mario franchise and his trick sounds are really cute. I can also do a pretty good yoshi impression
For 150cc Online, I’ve been using Luigi / Standard Tires / Silver Arrow / Standard Glider mainly, but I’ll switch Luigi for Iggy and keep the exact same setup or use Varmint instead of the Silver Arrow kart. It is crazy that like two years ago, people were always using Waluigi - Wiggler online compared to now it’s Yoshi or the plethora of characters you showed early in the video.
Hey look it’s the only combo I ever use…unless it’s not a drifting map. I usually choose drifting maps though and I live and DIE by the drift. Also her being my favorite Mario character is just the icing on the cake.
I actually stumbled on essentially this combo long before the update. I decided to use daisy and the cat cruiser entirely as a joke before I knew anything about the meta and it became my favorite setup. Then it became meta and now I feel like a try hard lol
Nah y’all need to use shy guy,teddy buggy,rollers,and cloud glider and bro it makes snaking look easy,the speed is good and all the other stats and the acceleration and the mini turbo is over the last bar so it almost fills the entire thing
I personally just play Roy Biddybuggy with roller wheels because it's just my favorite vehicle to use, and roy's my Favorite character in the roster. The Biddybuggy just feels so good to use !
I think combos are a super unique and fun way to get better at the game and explore! Love playing with my family and these will give me some good ideas! Hopefully
Frankly i don’t really have a main combo I stick with, but I’ll list a few that I use most of the time: Luigi/Pipe Frame/Slim/Any Glider Daisy/Sports Bike/Slim/Any Glider Metal Mario/W 25 Silver Arrow/Standard/Gold Glider Mii(preferably dark blue)/Mach 8/Blue Standard/MKTV Parafoil Waluigi/Duke/Azure Rollers/Wario Wing
I like sticking to mid-heavyweight characters and I like to use leaf tires over rollers for the versatility and they lean more towards speed. My go to’s are Luigi, yoshi, kamek, or Wiggler with the inkstriker, sports coupe or Mach 8, with leaf tires and the paper glider.
Im sad to be part of the Yoshi hive mind but he is honestly my favourite character. He's a dinosaur, you can probably tell by my name, that alone is enough. King Boo is my second favourite followed by Roselina
I mean I use dry bones, azure rollers, biddi buggy and cloud glider. Dry bones because he's been my main since Mario kart DS so I don't see why change now and stat wise I only really Care about having great handling and acceleration. I'm here for the vibes 😂. But watching your videos has made me sooooo much better so huge thx for that❤
Hi could you try Toad, Pipe Frame, Roller wheels and cloud glider? I used to play when the game was like a year old, and I thought it was a great combo (both in stat in aesthetics). It has great acceleration and handling, but since toad is a little bit heavier than the babies, I think you don´t get pushed around that much. I played casually tho, I never looked of combos and meta. Ah an alos, love your channel, keep it up
When I want to try hard I go with this combo! Didn’t know the stats but it felt easy to win with more consistently. I like the weight too, doesn’t get bumped around much
I agree that people need to use different combos. Unless the speed or acceleration stat is near 0, the stats don't really make a difference. The items you get in the race determines the outcome, not the stats
What's your favorite combo to play, just for the stats? (waluigi wiggler is the wrong answer)
The Thumbnail Says it all
Jpermmmmm😄😄😄😄
my favorite is the J Perm ;)
Does ds count if yes peach and dry bomber and daisy and egg 1
Rosalina, comet, Rollers
Shortcat is the type of guy to use the meta but use a diffrent character with it
meanwhile peach, yoshi, daisy and birdo have the same stats
The day that the buffs happened, I decided on Peach + teddy buggy, and was relieved to see everyone else picked Rosalina. Now I can't even pick the combo I chose myself without feeling like I'm copying everyone 😭
Maybe i'll just go shy guy streetle for the rest of my life
I'd rather be unique than conformist
I always used dk when when waluigi wiggler was meta
@@albinwinz same
it's nice to just see you play without any limiting factors like a challenge, you are actually very good at this game and it's cool to see that shine
I always like how relax and calm you are unlike other Mario kart RUclipsrs. But i wouldn’t be suprised if it’s still really stress full sometimes
He maintains a chill vibe while still being entertaining. Sometimes, even funny. Some other guys just try too hard.

Hydreix is a mk8 youtuber who has very similar vibes as shortcat, more chill tbh
He also averages 7 seconds on rubik's cube
really fell in love with rosalina teddy buggy recently, it’s such a good combo
baby Rosalina/Daisy with Mr. Scooty works to get baby park speedruns
I think it's funny that there were maybe two days where Rosalina was the best character. Then, we entered the Yoshi apocalypse
I think people just thought "oh now she's better than Waluigi" because it was an easy comparison for heavy weights. But mini turbo > speed, so I think a lot of people probably knew that yoshi was going to be better.
I was playing online with a entire lobby of yoshi besides me
I was using the mii
@@albinwinzhow much vr do u have
@@yoyle224 only like 2 thousand
I run the same combo as you but as Ludwig and with the blue rollers to match the blue color scheme of the combo. It looks just so pleasant and Ludwig's animations are really cool!
ludwig's hair has just the right vibe. also i love color coordinating the combos! blue standard tires also look nice
@@Shortcat321 True! The better the look of the combo the better it drives. That's just a fact.
I haven’t cubed in months so having someone who sounds like j perm (assuming it’s not him) in the background while cubing just brings back the nostalgia. Also I think his voice low key boosts me cuz I went from sub 15 to sub 12 during my session
Huh, now that you mention it
both in canada and same tone same arrows in thumbnails, hmmmmmmm
It is him

Thank you!!!
9:30 I like how he says he has red shell and blue shell protection then gets hit by a red shell and blue shell
been using this exact combo since the stat changes so nice to see its catching on
Ohh that's my go-to combo! It feels very nice in the game. And the look is highly underrated :P
16:13 the exact same Yoshi that crashed into the wall right at the finish line in the race before failing to do the gap jump and falling... oof... that was not his day.
you are teaching me things i did not even think about when i play this game.
i love the new stat changes, it forces people to use combos that aren’t waluigi wiggler lol

@Shortcat, I totally know what you mean by you can’t tell speed. I find that baby Rosalina biddybuggy feels FASTER than bowser badwagon

as a splatoon fan inkstriker being a good vehicle in this game fills me with pride and makes me super happy
Would be fun to see a combo of exactly even stats across the board
J Perm, is that you ?! It is you, I can't be wrong with the voice...what a surprise!
thats what i thought!
I got DK Summit on 200cc twice in a row once. I knew it was 200cc the first time, but that first jump / left turn strat. after the cannon the second race completely caught me off guard.
I don't even play Mario kart, but I always watch these videos while painting or drawing lol why are these so entertaining???
This is probably my favorite video because it's the most we see of Peach's leg lift.
I really like the design of the Blue falcon, so I like
Dark Blue Yoshi/Blue Falcon/Azure Rollers/Cloud Glider
GLA tires also work. I want to use a different combo but I also don’t want to sacrifice too much. I wish more people used Blue Falcon because it’s not bad, still has ideal speed/mini turbo.
The blue falcon is one of my favorite vehicles visually, but I feel like sometimes i can't hear the mini turbo. And the inkstriker has a really satisfying mini turbo sound which makes it even more fun than it should be.
@@Shortcat321 I didn't know they had different sounds! This changes everything!
This actually ended up being a wombo combo LOL. Good vid 👌
man, i used to play a racing game kinda like this, but a lot worse and it was really fun
this game looks really fun too and you are so good at the game
0:07 the yoshi is using azure rollers which have one more accelreation and one less speed than normal rollers, so its actualy different
I liked the part when shortcat got the best combo then best combod all over the play (Love your vids)
It's funny to see this for the first time post- final DLC. More things change, more they stay the same: from now until the end of time, Yoshi Teddy Rollers will be the only combo ever played in 150cc MK8D.
I've played Mario Kart 8 a handful of times and don't even have a Switch, yet I've watched probably all of your videos.
Shortcat is the kinda guy to fail the shortcut on mirror DK summit and still gain positions
I can't believe you make me hype up whenever of your videos pop on my feed
Shyguy is Love, Shyguy is Life
-The carved Shyguy figure in the corner of my room
I’m glad I found this channle because I was rly tired of everyone using meta, this game is so much better when you just stop caring so much about stats, so many fun combos and your the only person I’ve seen who uses a lot of them
I used yoshi teddy buggy yesterday thinking I was a genius lol
fun fact: the cat cruiser has the exact same stats as the teddy buggy
I don’t play for stats. Or online. Anyway, I like the Pipe Frame with standard wheels combo, because it lets me relive the N64 nostalgia. And I used the Super Glider, just because it’s there.
I love using peach with the cat cruiser and azure wheels it’s so cute to me plus I think it has close to the same stats as the teddy buggy so that makes me happy 😍
SAME
As a meta abuser, I personally use Yoshi over the others because Yoshi is a cool dude.
19:15 the beginning of the tragedy
worst respawn location of all time
and i think your the best sm8d youtuber
I just recently began playing Mariokart Online and I do believe you can trail a bomb even on 100 and 150cc. However, throwing the bomb can be an advantage as it stops other players from catching up or chaining multiple red shells.
Shortcat: *Shows a screenshot of stats where the combo is seen in the background* - Also shortcat: *blacks out combo* lol
You should make a challenge where your combo is randomized each race!
its a genuine addiction as soon as i see shortcat i click shortcat
Me too
my favorite has to be iggy, ink striker, sponge and paper plane. you make very goodcontent, keep going!!! :]
I really like that combo! I think the handling on it is slightly lower than I'd like, but I can definitely use it really well
Shortcat I love your videos there so calming and I love when you just explain stuff while racing id love if you add stories into your videos too
It’s kinda cool this channel is proof that success on yt is skill not luck
I used yoshi even before he was meta because he is my favorite character in the Mario franchise and his trick sounds are really cute. I can also do a pretty good yoshi impression
18:05 you can trail the bomb in 150cc I’ve done it before, it’s close, but it does work
For 150cc Online, I’ve been using Luigi / Standard Tires / Silver Arrow / Standard Glider mainly, but I’ll switch Luigi for Iggy and keep the exact same setup or use Varmint instead of the Silver Arrow kart. It is crazy that like two years ago, people were always using Waluigi - Wiggler online compared to now it’s Yoshi or the plethora of characters you showed early in the video.
I’m a baby Mario biddy buggy azure rollers paper glider kinda guy, the babies are the most fun to play imo
They are definitely super fun. The mini turbo charge speed is ridiculous!
Pumped for this upload. Will be reviewing after
As a Yoshi main pre-buff I’m disappointed that I can no longer be different
I’ve been using yoshi with the biddy buggy since I got Mario kart. I was just made aware it is a meta combo 😅
Hey look it’s the only combo I ever use…unless it’s not a drifting map. I usually choose drifting maps though and I live and DIE by the drift. Also her being my favorite Mario character is just the icing on the cake.
Nice video! I’m getting annoyed by the comments saying you sound like j perm 💀
Just found out that my favorite cubing channel has a mariokart 8 alt channel, immediately subbed and waiting for more fire content!
don’t worry, I also play mk8 so it won’t affect the
views-to-subscribers ratio.
I actually stumbled on essentially this combo long before the update. I decided to use daisy and the cat cruiser entirely as a joke before I knew anything about the meta and it became my favorite setup. Then it became meta and now I feel like a try hard lol
Hey Jperm ! Just wanted to say that I love your MarioKart content
Nah y’all need to use shy guy,teddy buggy,rollers,and cloud glider and bro it makes snaking look easy,the speed is good and all the other stats and the acceleration and the mini turbo is over the last bar so it almost fills the entire thing
I’ve been using my main Daisy since I was a child, it just so happens she was the best character to use in wii 😭
Well she's the best again!
Can you make a tips and tricks video? Also I love your vids
yes, i've been thinking of making a big guide for mario kart. it will be a lot of work though!
The first three races you've done were the best races I've seen by a Mario Kart player
I personally just play Roy Biddybuggy with roller wheels because it's just my favorite vehicle to use, and roy's my Favorite character in the roster.
The Biddybuggy just feels so good to use !
Yo something ive been using thats really fun is any baby character with button wheels and inkstriker with golden glider.
I like to go with teddy buggy, rollers, birdo and golden glider. Please keep up the great contend Dylan
both channels are amazing.
This combo seems really fun. I'm just a casual player, but I did grow a bit bored of my usual combo, so I will definitely try this one.
Shortcat the kinda guy to be a secret channel to a speed clubbing yt channel
I think combos are a super unique and fun way to get better at the game and explore! Love playing with my family and these will give me some good ideas! Hopefully
Frankly i don’t really have a main combo I stick with, but I’ll list a few that I use most of the time:
Luigi/Pipe Frame/Slim/Any Glider
Daisy/Sports Bike/Slim/Any Glider
Metal Mario/W 25 Silver Arrow/Standard/Gold Glider
Mii(preferably dark blue)/Mach 8/Blue Standard/MKTV Parafoil
Waluigi/Duke/Azure Rollers/Wario Wing
didnt watch the video still liked :D
Man I really missed your videos, so much fun :)
I’ve been using yoshi for two years and I was so confused when I saw so many yoshi in online matches a few months ago
I like sticking to mid-heavyweight characters and I like to use leaf tires over rollers for the versatility and they lean more towards speed. My go to’s are Luigi, yoshi, kamek, or Wiggler with the inkstriker, sports coupe or Mach 8, with leaf tires and the paper glider.
watched this video with my cat. top tier experience.
Only way it could’ve been S++ Tier is if it was the Cat Cruiser
Im sad to be part of the Yoshi hive mind but he is honestly my favourite character.
He's a dinosaur, you can probably tell by my name, that alone is enough.
King Boo is my second favourite followed by Roselina
jeez i rember like a month ago, he only had like 700 subs, now he has almost 50k, congrats!
I thought you are always winning on Sydney!
sometimes i need to be punished for using a top tier combo
@@Shortcat321 I think you can win everytime, with all combos. You're playing good!
Peach in the cat cruiser is the same as teddy buggy but arguably more aesthetically pleasing since its pink in pink lol
I hope you reach 50k subs ur improving
I mean I use dry bones, azure rollers, biddi buggy and cloud glider. Dry bones because he's been my main since Mario kart DS so I don't see why change now and stat wise I only really Care about having great handling and acceleration. I'm here for the vibes 😂. But watching your videos has made me sooooo much better so huge thx for that❤
Just picked up Iggy, Inkstriker, and roller combo. Feels and looks good to me :D
That's a great combo! I find it really fun as well
I think a good yt shorts idea would be about why you always mini turbo when going into a glider.
I bet this guy can solve a Rubik’s cube
Hi could you try Toad, Pipe Frame, Roller wheels and cloud glider? I used to play when the game was like a year old, and I thought it was a great combo (both in stat in aesthetics). It has great acceleration and handling, but since toad is a little bit heavier than the babies, I think you don´t get pushed around that much. I played casually tho, I never looked of combos and meta. Ah an alos, love your channel, keep it up
"Yes, everyone in this room is sharing the exact same brain cell!" -Shortcat, 2023
At the moment I got A ds with Mario party. Yoshi was always my favrout. Now I’m so happy its A optimal combo
Ive solidified Baby Luigi/Lemmy Biddybuggy Those Tiny blue wheels (forgot their name) and cloud glider
16:13 just what Shortcat was talking about hahahahaha
When I want to try hard I go with this combo! Didn’t know the stats but it felt easy to win with more consistently. I like the weight too, doesn’t get bumped around much
Funny, I'm watching this while playing through MMGP for all the three star placements.
8:12 Drifting on the off-road for what feels like an eternity yet no slow down and mini turbo built up 🧐
Well, it wasn't that long. But that's a very common technique for shroomless shortcuts! Check out my short on Mario kart stadium
I agree that people need to use different combos. Unless the speed or acceleration stat is near 0, the stats don't really make a difference. The items you get in the race determines the outcome, not the stats
