    Hey Shortcat Were You Always a fan of Bagging when you first started playing Mario Kart or you just like to frontrun the tracks as you play?

    • @Shortcat321
      @Shortcat321  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +537

      I hated bagging with a passion. I would frontrun the whole race and then get destroyed (on some tracks). Then i started paying attention. The person who could beat me in frontrunning on hyrule circuit was the same person who bagged and got 1st on cheese land.
      Once i realized it wasnt actually luck, i tried it out. I was SO BAD at bagging, literally couldnt get better than 5th. The more i learned about it, the more i realized i just didnt like it because i didnt understand it. I thought it was different people getting lucky each time, but it was actually the same skilled players beating me with multiple strategies.

    I like how Nintendo handled the bagging nerf. Rear position comeback play still seems viable, but the most "degenerate" or "unintended" aspects, repeatedly driving into boxes cycling items, has been removed. Personally I think it makes bagging a little more exciting, because there's that extra bit of pressure to keep moving and make your comeback.

    • @Shortcat321
      @Shortcat321  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +201

      Yeah i agree. At first i felt like its a bad bagging nerf because bagging still works just fine. But now i appreciate that its just a way to make bagging and competitive play look less degenerate. Love or hate bagging, this is a good change

      That said, I have had a couple times where I genuinely just drove badly and stopped before items, or where I got hit by lightning just after a set (both in positions near the back) and the nerf now makes getting reasonable items impossible in those cases. Sure, they're edge cases, but both happened to me fairly naturally.

      ​@@Shortcat321Also I think this nerf actually makes itel strategy even more important with bagging.
      This might not make a difference for those that are really good at bagging, but I think it prevents people from just bagging without putting any thought in it.
      Because before the nerf if you got an item that you didnt like you could just throw it away and drive into the item set again.
      That way you had to way less careful with item usage, while now if you use an item to early instead of holding it for shortcuts for instace increases the danger of getting a bad item without being able to rectofy the situation by just cycling through items at an item set.
      Deciding when to chain, use and hold has become way more important which I like a lot because to me that is what makes bagging interesting in terms of game mechanics.

  • @timothyhang2306
    @timothyhang2306 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +314

    Honestly, I believe that Nintendo's solution to bagging is actually pretty elegant. I think most people dislike bagging because seeing people stop in the middle of races and wait at item sets isn't exactly their idea of a racing game. However, "bagging" where you take worse lines in order to pick up more coins or take alternate paths that are slower but have coins or items while still moving forward on the track is perfectly fine, since you're still going forwards at the very least. In fact, I'm not completely sure yet, but I feel like this change could make a lot of the "useless" alternate paths (like the underwater section on daisy cruiser) a far more appealing choice which would be cool to see. You could drop to a lower position while remaining safe and farming coins, while keeping the most exciting part of bagging where you make the comeback intact.

    I think nerfing bagging deliberately without affecting those that are genuinely struggling in a race, as Nintendo seemed to aim for, was the right move. It discourages playing poorly on purpose but still gives a chance for people that are worse/unlucky

    something i feel like no one talks about is how much the idea of "driving badly on purpose" actually changed with the optics vs reality. stopping at an item set is definitely "driving badly on purpose" and looks horrible to the average person, but on the other hand you're still trying to take good lines when you actually are driving and the bagging part is more like a pause in your "normal" driving, but now that you can't bag that way it seems like the ideal way to stay in the back of the pack when bagging is just taking worse lines on purpose, which is just as much "driving badly on purpose" if not moreso than stopping at item sets. whether the improvement in optics is a big enough to outweigh that depends on your viewpoint i guess.
    what i really wish they did was make being in the middle of the pack less of a death sentence, that way you'd be much less incentivized to bag every time you got hit and the binary of bagging and frontrunning was less prominent in favor of just playing the game "normally". often in worldwides i get in rooms where a few of the players in the room are enough better than me that i can't really frontrun reasonably, but because being in the middle is so terrible it feels like i'm forced to bag if i want to get a decent position. the middle of the pack attack items in this game are just way too hard to avoid and punishing to get hit by and i'm pretty bummed that they didn't do a single thing to fix that with all of their balance changes.

    • @Shortcat321

      @@Shortcat321 i think they just want mario kart to be really chaotic, and that certainly accomplishes that. that race in the other video where you dodged an entire fire flower just to get hit anyway really shows how impossible it is to avoid getting hit in the middle of the pack. maybe making it so getting hit by certain items only makes you lose one coin, or not completely lose all of your speed like with bananas in double dash would be ways they could fix it, but i'm not sure they even know it's a problem, let alone want to fix it

    Good video! I was an anti-bagger initially when I didn't understand it, but warmed up to it as I learned that it is a perfectly viable strategy on certain tracks. Honestly, this latest bag nerf is a bit overexaggerated.
    Even after the update, I still bag on tracks like Mario Circuit 3, Cheese Land, Yoshi's Circuit, Dry Dry Desert, and GBA Mario Circuit. You just can't camp at item boxes which isn't a huge deal anyways. I find frontrunning much more fun, but I do agree that bagging is helpful to know if you happen to fall behind the pack. Making a huge comeback is always an amazing feeling!

    I think the thing that makes bagging look good is when everyone else *isn't* bagging. It's easy to like it when everyone else is "honorably" racing. But when it becomes the meta, and like half the group is still at the first item block line it's just like 😐. It's really cool to learn that it can be used strategically, and I think having maps that make bagging harder tosses up the game.

    @FidGame450 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    To me, I see two ways of bagging: intentional (or planned) and unintentional (or unplanned).
    I define intentional bagging as when you purposefully hang back at the start to get good items. You are making a conscious decision to bag.
    Meanwhile, I define unintentional bagging as when you bag because you feel you have no choice because of a variety of factors, such as you fell of the track at a bad time, or you got hit by a red shell in like 3rd or 4th and now you drop to like 8th or 9th. At that point, you might as well start bagging.
    There are people here that can explain this better than me, but the point is there are different ways to bag. You can bag because the track heavily favors it or you can bag because you were in a bad spot and need to get up quickly. People bag in normal races all the time. Whether it’s planned or not depends on the situation you’re in.

      I think a more competitive player than myself would be able to make this. I know the top frontrunning and bagging tracks but i couldnt rank the stuff in the middle. But basically just count the shortcuts that you need a speed item for. More/bigger shortcuts = better bagging track.

    I got into mario kart through your content, more specifically your bagging videos and I loved it (it made me want to get Nintendo switch online). I loved bagging and constantly wanted to do it and do better with it so that’s why I was appalled (I feel like that’s a strong word but I don’t know any other way to describe it) when I saw that bagging was nerfed. All my practice, all the fun, just cut down. It felt so much better to get first after taking every shortcut on a track and coming back to a top spot to win rather than sitting in first all race. I’d rather lose bagging than get a podium position front running badly. Bagging takes so much more skill than people realise and it adds more variety to the game so honestly I think that bagging should’ve stayed how it was :/

    Here's my two cents on bagging: its bad not because it rewards luck and punishes skill, but because it rewards skills that have no right to be in a racing game while punishing the intended skills and strategies. Its a racing game. The goal should be to get to the front and stay in the front with the best lines and item play. Bagging turns that on its head, where you intentionally stay in the back then make a push to the front near the end. Bagging turns a racing game into an rts game, which isnt what most people are looking for nor to they find it enjoyable.

    • @ItsManu001
      @ItsManu001 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Mario Kart is NOT a conventional racing game. Items are a main feature in Mario Kart, and almost surely it wouldn't be popular without items, so hating on bagging because "you're doing what you're not supposed to do in a racing game" is completely wrong. Since the first game of the saga, Mario Kart has always given better items to who's in the back to catch up, so making right use of the items to get the win IS playing Mario Kart. If you don't want to see baggers just play Gran Turismo or any other racing game without gimmicks that help who's in the back.

    • @loudwhispre9406
      @loudwhispre9406 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      If bagging wasn't in the game, then there'd be no point to even continue trying if you finish lap 1 anywhere lower than 7th place. If everyone knows the best lines to take, and you're behind all those people, than you aren't gonna win. Once you get to a top spot, you can ditch any semblance of strategy and racing becomes a single player game, where the goal is to take the best lines and possible shortcuts. Also, bagging helps kart diversity. Mini-turbo and speed are the number 1 and number 2 best stats respectively. Without bagging, speed becomes worthless.
      Once everyone realizes this, they'll min-max their builds to give them the most mini-turbo while sacrificing all other stats as little as possible. And once the "best" build is figured out, no one will run anything else. Then how are you supposed to pass someone when you're both running the exact same kart and taking the exact same lines. If we both drive 20 mph in a straight line, but you start ahead of me, obviously you're going to stay ahead of me. That's why bagging has to be possible in at least some fashion, otherwise Mario Kart gets boiled down to front-running until someone hits you with an attack item that drops you from 1st place to 3rd or 4th, and then disconnecting because you aren't gonna climb back up to 1st anymore without good items.

    • @onebear6504
      @onebear6504 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Tbf, the related skills to bagging are the same skills to race to the front (?) (not knowledgeable on it, maybe untrue). And the goal of "bagging" is to get to the front too, just using a more optimal way situationally. At least imo, what shortcat's been saying is pro players only bag when the situation calls for it and if it's the more sure way of getting to the front, aka a plan B. Cause sometimes it's better to step back a bit and go another route than blindly running in the storm. All depends on trade offs, similar to frontrunning from 1st backing down to avoid a blue shell or pushing through cause it's not worth it. Tbh, I think the problem is that the backside items are too OP compared to other middle & front items, probably gotta add more items or ways to defend against back items. Idk though, not an expert on that.
      Unrelated, I think what Shortcat was trying to get to on at 14:42 is that bagging is good for content and "INSANE" clips/moments, so Nintendo doesn't want to take it away completely. *Kart racing games* as a subgenre differentiates itself by what Wikipedia refers as "over the top" gameplay after all, and a protagonist miraculously winning the race by skill & luck even though they were so many laps behind the others or were sabotaged and broken would be a great example of "over the top" imo.

The only thing i do differently is stay farther from trail items and the super horn because they WILL hit me with it.

    I do agree that bagging needed a nerf, and I personally don’t feel like what Nintendo did to nerf it wasn’t very effective, but I also don’t know how else they could have nerfed bagging more effectively. Bagging is an unintended side effect of Nintendo’s efforts to help keep worse performing casual players feeling involved in the game. Giving the players in last a comeback mechanic, for casual play at least, keeps the game dynamic and enjoyable for families and groups of friends across a range of skill levels. And I don’t know how Nintendo could more effectively nerf bagging without negatively impacting casual play as well. If the competitive Mario Kart scene wants to eliminate bagging, they’d have to do what competitive Smash Bros did and remove either items at all or a large number of courses from competition. And if you do that, it’s not Mario Kart anymore. It’s any other racing game.
    Bagging feels weird and it’s more powerful than I think anyone would like it to be, but in order for Mario Kart to STAY Mario Kart, it’s a necessary part of the game.

    My issue with your argument is you're kinda conflating strategic play with cheesing the game's systems. When you get knocked back, getting coins and being more careful with item use timing is standard play, and hanging back just to get the best and stack the deck feels disingenuous. The former leads to a comeback, but the latter doesn't feel like a comeback and doesn't bring the same excitement because of the manufacturing of it, at least to me. Getting rid of bagging would be nice, and I don't consider strategic use of items to be bagging because, like I said, it's moreso just a careful and more precise play then what the people at front need to do. It's more a defensive vs offensive play at that point, rather than just building up a sandbag fort.

    • @Shortcat321

      This is very subjective. Why does stopping feel disingenuous but hanging back when in the back not feel disingenuous? If i want to be in the back to improve my chances, is it cheesy to slow down but not cheesy to play recklessly and get hit by an item and then play from the back?

    • @rozegunn
      @rozegunn 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @ShroomlessShortcat By that argument, why does stopping on the start look stupid but not hanging back when getting hit does? Like I said, it mostly stems from the complete stop and break that feels more engineered rather than being careful and playing defensively after being knocked down. In a race with items, purposefully sitting at the start doesn't lend to the feeling of a race for the back people or the front people, so it lends to a break on what Mario Kart the game is meant to be. I'm not saying the only way to play is recklessly rushing as far to the front as you can after getting hit, but the strategy between taking a longer path, making sure to get coins, and using items at more oportune times is less bagging and more how Mario Kart should be played as opposed to full stopping at the beginning of a race just to get better item calculations and brute forcing a way to front there. Moreso I feel like there's a disconnect between how the game was meant to be played and what was the optimized way to win, so I like the nerf focusing on trying to force people to move because a racing game incentivising people to stop feels counter to the nature of the game.

  • @martinevans8984
    @martinevans8984 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I think realistically Nintendo's goal was not to wipe out bagging but rather to try and encourage a less "insidious" form of it (for lack of a better word). The problem has never been that people can make comebacks with good items-that's just inherent to the game concept and is the whole reason Mariokart is a good party game. The problem was that players could just wait at item sets and get progressively stronger and stronger items without particularly engaging with the race itself for the first 90-120 seconds of a race (longer on Dry Dry Desert), which in turn lead to races where the entire lobby is driving around the track at a snails pace while just fishing for their win condition. It also just made a lot of tracks like Yoshi Circuit very volatile in general, as bagging on it it had certain really broken aspects but it was so dependent on specific item luck that no matter what strategy you chose, it never particularly felt like you were in control of your fate when compared to hard baggers like Cheese Land or any of the multitude of driving-forward tracks. Hell, even Baby Park felt more consistent, and that track is designed explicitly to be extremely chaotic/volatile. I think changing the way people have to play when going for items does a lot to reduce that volatility and make the track overall a lot more fun (because let's be honest, the reason I mentioned Yoshi Circuit specifically is because it is one of the most fun tracks in the game in time trials, and it was difficult to make the most of what makes the track fun due to the sheer lack of control at any point in the race).

    Hi Shortcat, i've been watching your content for many months now (super entertaining and your personality is awesome LOL) but to answer your bagging being nerfed question... In a way i think it was needed (i don't play mario kart and never have, but i'm an Alicia Online player that has been in the magic side of the game, which is basically mario kart), before bagging in AO was nerfed, people would just sit behind on purpose and grab the best items and make comebacks, just like in MK ! Since it's been nerfed, you rarely actually get comeback items and more often you end up with defense items. The thing about AO is that besides the item boxes, the player just gains gauge that goes towards getting an item (i suggest looking up gameplay) so you don't have to rely on boxes always (and from this you can actually get more comeback items! i have no idea how this game works n ive played it for 7 years) . I think it's a complicated question, cus i understand why they nerfed it, but i mean... it's so fun lol

    As someone who likes to play sim racing games, I really don’t mind and actually kind of enjoy the concept of bagging in Mario Kart because MK isn’t a sim, it’s a racing game that follows no rules and it’s meant to be ridiculous and I feel like bagging fits perfectly. Obviously like you said you can’t bag on every track and I think that fact alone is what balances it out. If you’re upset about people using powerups and get upset when someone goes from last to first in the last corner then play a sim. Funny and unorthodox strategy is what Mario kart is all about.

    I'd never actually thought about how I would nerf Bagging but I feel like I wouldn't have came up with the single Banana or Green Shell in 12th idea.
    Also 16:13 was great.

    I love how both frontrunning vids have had a rivalry with some black Yoshi or Birdo (Also, could you please upload a bit on your J perm channel? I love how you are into this channel and it’s great that you are sharing your passions, but many of us cubers are awaiting the return of J perm❤)

    I actually really like the pipe frame for Funky Kong, it has the same speed and mini turbo as Teddy buggy, but more acceleration, traction, handling and invincibility

    I think instead of nerfing bagging they should make it so that you can get mushrooms in first place, because then you can still take shortcuts and it will be more fun overall. I don't know if anyone agrees but that's just my opinion :)

    Bagging is ok. Frontrunning is also ok. If you don't like how people play online, stick to single player.

    Guy makes comeback on average track, people: "nice comeback man"
    Guy purposefully slows down then makes comeback: "woah hey that's cheating"
    It's actually so stupid that people hate baggers. Most tracks in the game reward running so baggers literally put themselves at a disadvantage if they're always doing it. If you find yourself getting beat by a bagger over and over, it is not because they are cheating, it is because they are *better then you*. Literally every player that is actually good at the game understands this.

    Challenge: take a shot every time he says bagging and try and stay sober.

    I used to get destroyed in this game and would get so mad at my friends for always getting so lucky. Then I learned how to bag and the strategy for running, and now I win a ton of
